Stacy Keibler Gets Sexy at the Spike TV Video Game Awards (PHOTOS)
George Clooney's girl Stacy Keibler was a hit at the Spike TV Video Game Awards this weekend. Stacy tweeted her excitement and support for the event asking her followers what their favorite video games to play were.
The blonde bombshell walked the red carpet sans George in a little black dress for the network's annual award ceremony. However, the couple will in fact be together for the upcoming holidays, Stacy told E! News.
We're going to be having a lot of friends and family going together this year, so it will be fun," she dished about the pair's plans. "It will be easy and it will be relaxing."
After being a rumored item the couple finally took their romance public when George brought Stacy to the premiere of The Ides of March at the Toronto International Film Festival in late September.

The 2015 Hyundai Genesis is The Car of Texas
SAN ANTONIO--May 3, 2014: It happens every spring. About 50 auto journalists, including Linda Water Nelson, editor of INSIDEout: Cars & Trucks, and sports vehicle editor of Texas Fish & Game magazine, travel to the Texas Motor Speedway to evaluate a nearly equal number of vehicles to honor the best in Texas, as part of the Texas Auto Writers Association Spring Roundup.
This year cars were driven 782 times – a first time for this statistic so we'll call it a record. Manufacturers enter the vehicles that they want to spotlight and identify them for on-track or on-road usage.
"Even performance cars are daily drivers most of the time, and many never see a track. Everything needs to be what consumers want and need the rest of the time," Water Nelson says.
The 2015 Hyundai Genesis is The Car of Texas. It was a standout at $55,000 loaded with a V8, all the bells and whistles and a gorgeous interior, which also earned best new interiors honors.
Family Car of Texas, the 30th Anniversary Edition Chrysler Town & Country was a favorite. "I drove that minivan with a load of children and grandchildren for more than a week and the experience was outstanding," she explained.
The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST won for best value. Journalists drove it on and off the track and they sung its praises and price tag. Ford's 1.0L EcoBoost Engine, highlighted in the Ford Fiesta SE won best new feature. The Fiesta was the single most driven vehicle.
Other category winners (2014 models unless otherwise noted) were: Sub-compact: Ford Fiesta SE Compact: Dodge Dart SXT/Rallye Appearance Premium Compact: 2015 Subaru WRX Limited Performance Compact: Fort Fiesta ST Mid-size: 2015 Chrysler 200 Mid-size luxury: 2015 Hyundai Genesis Full-size: Chrysler 300C Full-size luxury: Cadillac XTS Twin Turbo VSport Premium Performance coupe: Jaguar F-Type V8S convertible Performance sedan: Lexus IS 350 Sport Minivan: Chrysler Town & Country Activity vehicle: SRT Jeep Grand Cherokee Green vehicle: Ford Fusion Energi Titanium
"I couldn't argue with these winners. These were exceptional choices and not one of the winners was a total budget buster this year," she added.

Tex Mex Latkes
Make a batch of basic latkes. Season with salt, pepper, lots of cumin, pasilla chili powder (a dark, mild chili made from dried Anaheims…substitute any chili powder if you can't find it), and a little oregano.
You could eat these with salsa and sour cream, but I like them (like all fried potatoes) with ketchup.

An Application of TRAMO-SEATS: Model Selection and Out-of-Sample Performance: the Swiss CPI Series
This paper applies the programs TRAMO and SEATS to seasonal adjustment of the monthly Consumer Price Index Swiss series. It is shown how the results of the purely automatic procedure can be improved with two simple modifications: one that emerges from the TRAMO-SEATS diagnostics, and another that uses "a-priori" information. In particular, the SEATS output is used to select a model among the ones that are equally compatible with the sample.

Colombo: Elite police units deployed to guard the teams taking part in the ongoing Champions Trophy here have come up with an unexpected foe prostitutes in addition to crooked players and bookies.
Police said today that they were battling to keep women away from the rooms of players from the 10 Test playing nations as well as Holland and Kenya, but some of the cricketers were getting wise to police tactics.
The police lodged a formal complaint with the International Cricket Council (ICC) last week after three women were found in the rooms of West Indies manager Ricky Skerritt and computer operator, Garfield Smith.
We are not making a moral judgement but are simply trying to enforce the access control guidelines issued to us by the cricket authorities, a top police official said.
He said one of the women found in the company of the West Indian players was a daughter of a former Sri Lankan police chief. Another girl was a 17-year-old student.
Police said the women had been in the rooms of the two West Indians with their consent, but the authorities have begun investigating if the three women had criminal records or were linked to bookies.
Police said some of the players were leaving their hotel to sidestep the tight security at the deluxe Taj Samudra where plain-clothed policemen have been deployed to check on those meeting the cricketers.
The ICC sought police protection for the Champions Trophy not so much to protect players, but to make sure they dont get up to dirty tricks.
The Sunday Leader said players were seen trying to pick up women at the Taj Samudra and even two women reporters had been propositioned by unnamed players in the hotel lobby.
More than 300 plain-clothed police are being deployed for the largely covert operations during the tournament, officials said. This is in addition to uniformed police for usual crowd control at match venues in the capital.
Banning mobile phones for cricketers at the match venues and at the team hotel has become standard practice, but the surveillance was extended to the players car park, the grandstand and even during practice at nets.
But the players were getting wise to the police tactics and some were slipping out of the team hotel, police said.
Police had deployed an elaborate screening operation before the tournament got underway with hotel staff checked to establish if they had any links with bookies.
In previous years when games were hosted amid the threat of Tamil Tiger suicide bombings, the players were accorded security that is generally reserved for visiting heads of state.
However, this time the focus is on keeping the players under check as fears of bombings receded with the government and Tamil Tiger rebels entering into a cease-fire since February.
Gambling on cricket has got so much out of hand that bookies take bets on how many players wear a certain type of sunglasses at the opening of a game, a police officer said.

The cross is a symbol of Christ's crucifixion. It is a
reminder to Christians that Christ died so that others may live.
The dove is a symbol of peace and hope. God sent a dove
with an olive branch to Noah after the great flood as a sign that the
flooding was over and a sign of a new life and a new chance.
The Bible is the holy book of Christians.
The Old Testaments of the Bible is the same as the Jewish Torah as it
is the story of the Hebrew people.
This is a nativity scene: the birth of Jesus is the Son
of God.
During Holy Communion, Christians share bread and wine,
spiritual food symbolizing the body and blood in Christ.
God gave Moses the Ten Commandments to pass on to the Hebrew
The Easter lily is a sign of rebirth symbolizing Christ's
resurrection from the dead just as a lily grows from a seemingly dead
bulb under the ground into the daylight as new and glorious flower.
Light is an important symbol in Christianity. The sun is
a symbol of Christ, the son of God, who brought light into the world.

UK Family Law
UK Family Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
THanks for your question.
Lasting powers of attorney are the form used now, you can apply for one and have it registered with the Office of The Public Guardian. There are two types; property and financial affairs LPA (for decisions about finances, such as selling your house or managing your bank account) and health and welfare LPA (for decisions about both health and personal welfare, such as where to live, day-to-day care or having medical treatment).
You can set the parameters of authority under the power and when those powers are to be activate to give you some security.
They must be registered with the Office and there is a fee for each of £120.00. You can either attempt to make the application yourself (the forms are available from the OPG website along with lots of guidance notes and information) or instruct a solicitor to do it for you. It would cost around £600-750+VAT in legal fees preparing both forms of LPAs.
If this is useful please kindly click accept so that I may be rewarded for my time. You will be free to ask follow up questions. Kind regards,

Proportions for the classic Manhattan are two (sometimes three) parts whiskey to one part sweet vermouth, with a little aromatic boost from bitters. The drink is believed to date from 1874, created by a bartender at New York's Manhattan Club. "Since New York was a rye town in those days," writes cocktail expert Dale DeGroff in The Craft of the Cocktail, "the original Manhattan was made with rye whiskey." Bourbon Manhattans are a thing in the South.
What to buy: Unlike the shockingly red maraschinos that top the kids' sundaes, cherries in marasca syrup are chewy, dark, and free of food coloring. Look for the Italian brand Luxardo.

Wal-Mart Stores reported its net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were $113.5 billion, an increase of 4.5% from $108.6 billion in the second quarter last year. Net sales for this quarter included a negative currency exchange rate impact of approximately $2.2 billion.
Income from continuing operations attributable to Walmart for the quarter was $4.0 billion, up 5.7% from the second quarter last year. Consolidated operating income was $6.7 billion, up 4.9% last year. Operating income grew faster than sales.
The company said it leveraged operating expenses for the second quarter, reducing costs, improving productivity and investing in lower prices.
Walmart U.S. same-store sales rose 2.2% in the 13-week period ended July 27, the division's fourth straight quarter of same-store growth but slower than the 2.6% gain in the first quarter. Sam's Club comp-store sales, without fuel, increased 4.2% for the same 13-week period. Walmart International grew net sales 6.4%.

There's a chink in our armor, alright. Fact is, the armor's nearly gone.
The fact that an ESPN editor was fired over the weekend for a reckless and potentially offensive headline highlights two big problems:
• First, that the need for speed in today's media is fraught with peril. Our society has fallen so in love with instant technology – we've practically linked Twitter to our brains, so we broadcast the first thing that comes to our heads – that any sense of journalistic standards or even common sense go out the window.
• Second, that we've about taken sensitivity to an absurd level in this country.
The ESPN headline, about a sub-par game Friday night by New York Knicks mega-sensation Jeremy Lin, used a common expression – "A chink in the armor" – but at the absolutely wrong time. Lin is the first American-born man of Chinese ancestry to play in the National Basketball Association. And, of course, the term in question has been a racial epithet.
Again, a careful journalist with a moment or two to contemplate matters most likely doesn't send that headline out.
On the other hand, to borrow an ESPN catch phrase: C'mon man! Does anybody really think the network meant anything by that headline? Why would they rain on Lin's parade? ESPN has reveled in it as much as anyone.
Here's a young Harvard graduate, a castoff from other teams and a mere role player until injuries put him in the spotlight, where he has shone. His energy, youth and production have revitalized a moribund New York Knicks team. And his ethnicity is only a matter for pride, particularly in New York's Chinatown, where broadcasters have gone knocking to get giddy reaction from fans.
Another ESPN anchor was suspended for using the same phrase on air.
The anchor has an Asian wife.
So, really? Someone thinks he was being racist too?
C'mon, man.
The fired editor, Anthony Federico, is said to have been devastated, and has apologized.
A grown-up response would be to accept the apology, suspend him and move on. But America is having a hard time growing up, particularly with regard to race. Real incidents of racism need to be punished, certainly. But was this one of them?
It'd be nice, and even healing, if Lin himself asked that Federico be reinstated.
And if we really did have a little armor on our thin skin.

Dodge's latest-generation remake of its Charger, a model name still recognized and revered by just about every car guy steeped in 1960s North American muscle car nostalgia, appears to be pretty much right on the money.
You get a street-level sense of how well Dodge has nailed the new Charger's look when the guys at your local garage down tools to come out and have a look when you pull in for gas.
And when a couple at the B&B you're staying at think it's actually a restoration of an original. Okay, they weren't particularly car savvy, but they knew it definitely exuded serious coolness. They also prove its 60s styling cues still resonate.
And when you get a way more positive response from kids on the sidewalk than if you'd driven by in a snarly slammed Civic or, in my part of Ontario, even a jacked-up pickup. These callow youths may not remember the classic B-Body Chargers of the late 60s, but they too recognize a rad ride when it rumbles by.
Of course it helped that the toxic orange pearl paint didn't exactly make the test unit invisible and the exhaust note of the Hemi V-8 under the hood is readily audible through the dual pipes. Well, when you goose it a bit, anyway, to add a secondary sensory input to the experience for the sidewalk-bound.
And I liked it too, the updated-retro-tough-guy look and the every-ready power from its big V-8, even though in the 60s my idea of a neat ride was a 60-hp Mini Cooper and a 74-hp MG Midget.
That look-at-me paint job and pit-bull-crossed-with-a-special-forces-sniper front-end treatment leaves little doubt as to what this particular 2011 Charger R/T AWD is all about. And it's not just talking the talk, but able to walk the walk – and in old-school, street-racer parlance "walk" the competition – with 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque tap-able from its 5.7-litre Hemi.
The application of which is a no-brainer, incidentally, thanks to something nobody would have dreamt of installing in a Charger back in the day, an all-wheel-drive system. Stand on it and the torque tsunamis through the five-speed automatic, finding its way to the rear wheels first. But it just starts to wind them up – maybe half a turn – before the system kicks part of the power to the front wheels, resulting in a very rapid surge of forward progress that doesn't leave those tattle-tale black stripes on the pavement.
I'm told the Charger will burn up to 100 km/h in about 5.5 seconds, but with this system it will also be more likely to keep its wheels under it when the going gets slippery. With the right tires, a year-round muscle car in other words.
It's also a little more socially responsible, well on the highway at least, where thanks to its multi-displacement and front axle disconnect systems its fuel burn is rated at 8.5 L/100 km. I recorded what I thought was an impressive (for a 5.7-litre Hemi anyway) 8.9 L/100 km at a keeping up with traffic highway cruise. That's in the ballpark with some compact crossovers I tested recently. It's not so good in the city though, where it's rated at a thirsty 14.2 L/100 km.
Not all this latest Charger's muscle is under the hood, you'll find it in the wheel wells too, where the multi-link independent suspension has been re-tuned to deliver improved agility – aided by quicker steering – and a ride that even on the optional 19-inch wheels and low-profile tires didn't prove too hard, although it doesn't much like tar strips, which send jolts through its structure.
The new Charger's dimensions are about the same as the old one and it weighs two 60s-style tons (1,796 kg) so response still isn't all that agile, but it goes where you aim it and likely sticks well too. At sensible back-road speeds it's a fun car to carve corners with.
If the Charger's exterior was "toxic" its black-over-tan interior was just the opposite: roomy for four (rear-seat passengers heads are under the backlight, however, which is never pleasant) and interestingly styled.
The instrument panel treatment is particularly neat and it's put together from better-looking and -feeling materials than its predecessor. Seats have flat-ish, 60s-style bases but bigger bolsters at rib level and are upholstered in supple leather, the climate control is effective, the audio system fine and sound levels low enough.
The Charger R/T AWD is priced at $39,995, but the tester came with $2,875 worth of options that included an audio upgrade, rain-sensing wipers, power-folding mirrors, tilt/telescope wheel, Garmin navigation, power pedals and park warning and rear-view camera systems, adaptive speed control, forward collision warning, blind spot and cross path warning, stability, hill start and various brake assist systems.
The Hemi-powered Charger R/T AWD may still be a bad boy's car but there always seems to be an electronic "mom" looking out for you or chiding you if you attempt to do anything naughty or stupid. You can't even "lay a patch" with the thing.

Microsoft's push e-mail isn't really push?
View Single Post
Junior Member

Join Date: Jun 2005
Device: Motorola220
Typical for Microsoft (and not only...)
Well, it is well known, I guess, that Microsoft is much better at selling than at building. Apparently (and unfortunately), the US marketing community adopted the ancient Phoenicians maxim: "Either sell or be truthfull..." .
That is not to say that the quoted article is very clear by itself. The technology described there supposedly refers to upcoming Exchange SP2 but actually does not specify in which way it is different from the current implementation of ActiveSync. Nor does it tell exactly about this part where the device PERIODICALLY requesting the server to monitor new changes (how much it is different then from the scheduled syncs?). Besides, according to Microsoft in the current setup the server is initiating the sync by first sending notification to the device about new changes and only THEN the device initiate the sync. That makes sense. Then what's all this about device all the time sending requests to the server???? Whatever. It is also typical for Microsoft documentation.
And to those who as one of the members who posted a little bit earlier about Blackberry server been a nightmare I just wanted to let know - do not keep a very high hopes for ActiveSync. I have tested somewhat similar to Blackberry GoodLink and then ActiveSync (on Exchange 2003). It took me ~3hrs to set up and make to work and GoodLink - very detailed and simple documentation, works flowlessly (plus some nice features). I still after four days can not make ActiveSync work. That is manual and scheduled sync from device works fine (though took me some time to figure it all out) but this famous "push" update which is not really "push" just would not work. Period. Actually, seems like it worked in the beginning and then just stopped, which makes it even worse. Documentation is poor and superficial and try to get troubleshooting info. Good luck with that. ActiveSync troubleshooting tool gives me a message "could not access CDO.Message" when I'm sending control message. Very informative! Either the tool or the ActiveSync is a crap (more likely its a tool problem - after I run it I have to restart IIS to be able to sync at all, even manually!). And what about UNDOCUMENTED feature - UP-To-Date notification works only 12.5 hrs after any manual sync! If you do not sync manually from the device after that you get no notification! And it seems it is by design.
So do not tell me how ActiveSync will compete with something like GoodLink. You will loose more on air time charges and headaches than on GoodLink license fee by going with ActiveSync. Push it or pull it.

Director Muzaffar Ali was keen to have Rekha in the sequel of his 1981 blockbuster but we now hear that Rekha is not so keen to do it.
Muzaffar Ali wanted to make a comeback in the Indian film industry and asked his friend Javed Siddiqui to write the screenplay of Umrao Jaan's sequel. Ali also wanted to rope in his original actress Rekha to do a special appearance in the sequel. Rekha's performance in the original won her prestigious National awards. But the actress has seemingly turned down the offer of the sequel.
It's been learnt that the second instalment is based on Rekha's character who will take revenge from her enemies from the first movie. Muzaffar Ali and Javed Siddiqui worked together three decades ago and now will come back together to work for the Umrao Jaan sequel.

Rugby clubs converge on Freeport for tourney
Published: May 15, 2013
FREEPORT, Grand Bahama — Last weekend, the Freeport Rugby Club held its 3rd Annual Junior Rugby International Tournament, which was a great success.
Arriving in The Bahamas for the tournament were teams from the Cayman Islands and the United States of America (USA) to play the great game of rugby. The teams all showed sportsmanship and it was obvious they all enjoyed themselves. There were teams from under-nine to 16-years-old.
On Friday night, there was a welcome pizza party, and 80 pizzas were delivered to the club. While eating, the kids all got to know one another. When the coaches and teams arrived, they ran on to the pitch and all of a sudden the field was filled with young rugby players. It was really cool to see so many people there playing on the field, and just having fun.
On Saturday there were games all day. They all started on time and the organizers did a great job of sticking to the planned schedule, getting all the games finished by 5 p.m., so the fans in attendance could then watch an exhibition game played by the 'Golden Oldies', teams made up of men over 35 years of age.
The 'Golden Oldies' result was a shock to everyone, as Key Biscayne thrashed the combined Cayman and Bahamas team. Most people did not realize that the Key Biscayne team had players who are ex-Argentinian national team players. It was exciting to watch but clear to everyone that they had so much more experience over the combined team, and must have practiced on a regular basis as they outclassed their opponents.
The Bahamas' junior teams played well. They were very quick on the break and showed a lot of natural talent. They had obviously had been working hard on their organization, but they still need to develop their passing and tackling skills to match-up well against the other teams.
There were two girls playing for the Cayman squad, and when they got out on the pitch, they showed that they could hold their own against the boys. They played really well and also tackled extremely well. The coaches said that ladies rugby is growing around the world and is very entertaining to watch.
On Sunday, there was a Barbarian-style competition for the under 13's where the three countries joined together to produce four teams which played each other. The final scores on this day were ignored because it was no longer a competition against countries, but purely for the love of the game.
According to all reports, the weekend was brilliant. The parents from Key Biscayne and Cayman should be congratulated for making the effort to go to Freeport and for helping put on such a great tournament. Also, a number of people from Freeport reportedly came out to support the local club and teams.
Many of the traveling teams said that it was a fantastic weekend and they would definitely be coming back next year. Well done Freeport Rugby Club!

The Twisted Sister lead singer says in a statement, 'There is almost nothing on which I agree with Paul Ryan, except perhaps the use of the P90X.'
Dee Snider is furious when learning that the band's 1984 single "We're Not Gonna Take It" written by the rocker has been used by Paul Ryan in his political campaign to become the Vice President of the United States. The Twisted Sister frontman now forbids the politician from using any of his songs.
Snider does not support Ryan, so he issues a statement to Benjy Sarlin, campaign reporter for TPM in Washington, DC, "I emphatically denounce Paul Ryan's use of my song 'We're Not Gonna Take It' as recorded by my band Twisted Sister. There is almost nothing on which I agree with Paul Ryan, except perhaps the use of the P90X."
The GOP congressman, who becomes Mitt Romney's vice-president pick, complies with Dee's request. In response to the complaint, Ryan's spokesperson Brandon Buck says in a short email reply, "We're Not Gonna Play It anymore."
Previously, Ryan was slammed by Tom Morello, the member of his favorite band Rage Against the Machine. The guitarist claimed the congressman was clueless about the band because what he's campaigning for was against what they were promoting in their music. "He likes Rage's sound, but not the lyrics," Tom said.
Meanwhile, Ryan's political partner Romney was blasted by Silversun Pickups' lead singer Brian Aubert for allegedly using their single "Panic Switch" in a campaign event. Romney's rep Andrea Saul said they never intentionally played the song. It was just coincidentally played when they were setting up an event for the campaign.

All documents issued prior to 1 July 2017 were issued by the former Department of Commerce. Documents listed here are the latest versions available, but may be subject to review. For more information on this document, please contact email@example.com.
Anyone who carries out 'builder work' valued over $20,000 must be a registered builder or an approved owner-builder before applying to the local government for a building permit.
Under the Building Services (Registration) Act 2011, owner-builders are required to obtain approval from the Building Services Board, administered by the Building Commission, before obtaining a building permit to carry out owner builder work on their land. Applicants are required to provide evidence of their ownership of the land and demonstrate that they have sufficient knowledge of the duties and responsibilities of an owner-builder.
For residential property, applicants must reside, continue to reside or intend to reside on the land on which the building work is to be carried out when the work is completed. In the case of commercial building work, the applicant must intend to occupy or use the land on which the owner-builder work is to be carried out when the work is completed.
Owner-builder work consists of the following:
Can I build again?
Owner-builders can only be issued with a building permit once every six years unless they have received an exemption from the Building Services
Board. Penalties may apply for non-compliance.
To obtain owner-builder approval all the owners of the land must submit an application for owner builder approval to the Building Commission that
An application package is available to download from the Building Commission website or by contacting 1300 489 099 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Penalties apply for failing to obtain a building permit before commencing building work.
An owner-builder approval expires six months from when it is granted, or on the day the local government refuses the owner-builder's building permit application. Otherwise the approval lasts for the duration of the building permit.
As an owner-builder you have control over the building project and you are legally responsible for the entire project from start to finish and for at least six years after. Furthermore, you will be liable if the building work does not comply with all building standards and safety regulations.
Owner-builders are responsible for the supervision of the building work and may choose to:
Please note: Contracting out any of the work does not lessen an owner-builder's responsibility.
Owner-builders take on many of the responsibilities of a registered builder, including:
Displaying a sign
While your building is being constructed you must affix or erect on the site a sign of reasonable dimensions that is located in a prominent position and able to be read by members of the public from outside the site. The sign must clearly show your name, telephone number and owner-builder approval number issued by the Building Services Board.
The Home Building Contracts Act 1991 applies to any person undertaking home building or associated work for a home owner, including owner-builders.
The Act establishes certain contractual requirements in relation to carrying out 'home building work' and applies to contracts valued between $7,500 and $500,000.
As an owner-builder, you may be entering into 'home building contracts' with contractors. It is important to be aware of the requirements of this legislation. Refer to the publication Home Building Contracts Act available on the Building Commission website.
Owner-builders are responsible for the building work for a minimum of six years. If you sell your home within seven years from the date of a building licence or permit being issued, you are required under the Home Building Contracts Act 1991 to have in place a policy of home indemnity insurance which covers subsequent owners if problems with the building develop and the owner-builder fails to rectify faulty or unsatisfactory workmanship due to disappearance, death or insolvency.

SpaceX rocket takes off for to space station
A commercial supply ship is en route to the International Space Station.
The private SpaceX company launched its unmanned Falcon rocket from Cape Canaveral on Friday morning, right on time. Aboard the rocket is a Dragon capsule filled with more than a ton of station equipment and experiments.
This is the third supply run for SpaceX. The company is run by billionaire Elon Musk, who helped create PayPal. Musk monitored the launch from SpaceX headquarters in California.
SpaceX has a billion-dollar contract with NASA for space station shipments.
There's no ice cream this time for the six station astronauts. The freezers are full. But SpaceX included fruit straight from the orchard.
The space station was orbiting above the Atlantic when the Falcon soared.

Made from mostly recycled materials. Well-crafted slider mechanism and QWERTY keyboard. Solid music performance. Standard-size headphone jack.
Short battery life. Sluggish Web browsing and video streaming. Not the greatest reception.
Bottom Line
The Samsung Reclaim is a solid messaging handset with plenty of thoughtful environmental touches.
Multimedia and Camera
Samsung gets bonus points for the side-mounted microSD slot, which worked fine with my 16GB SanDisk card. There's also a standard-size 3.5mm headphone jack, which is a big improvement over the company's usual proprietary nonsense. Music tracks sounded crisp and clear over Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth headphones. The music player app displayed album art when available and sorted my MP3, WMA, and AAC tracks automatically. You can buy tracks over the air from the Sprint Music Store, which (as usual) was a pain to set up.
The 2-megapixel camera was pretty disappointing. It lacks either a flash or auto-focus and took mottled, grainy photos indoors and out, with a general lack of detail and a slow enough shutter speed to ruin several shots. Recorded videos were of the useless 176-by-144-pixel variety at 15 frames per second.
GreenTech Award and Conclusions
We have stiff requirements for a GreenTech Approved award here at PCMag.com, but the Reclaim met them easily. The handset is made from textured bio-plastics and other recycled materials. It comes in fully recyclable packaging that still manages to be attractive. The charger is Energy Star approved; when the device finishes charging, it reminds you to unplug it from the wall. You can recycle your old phone by using the included mailing label to send it back to Sprint. The company has also pledged $2 of each sale to the Nature Conservancy's Adopt an Acre program, which aims to conserve land and preserve natural habitats across the U.S.
Sprint offers plenty of messaging phones. The Samsung Rant is a decent messaging handset with 3G speed. The Samsung Instinct S30 is a media powerhouse with a budget-friendly $99 price, but its touch screen isn't as easy to type on as a physical keyboard. If you don't mind a higher data plan cost, there's always the stellar BlackBerry Curve 8330 and the quirky, aging Palm Centro. Both are $49 like the Reclaim but are true smartphones with more powerful e-mail and the ability to load thousands of third-party apps. None of these options are as environmentally friendly, though. With the Reclaim, Samsung proves that although going green can be a good thing, it requires some sacrifices.

Lights, Camera, Candy!
Candy Industry dives into the video-making business
I've spent the last month or so trying to figure which combinations of various bronzers, eyebrow waxing and manicures work best on camera.
|Crystal Lindell
You see, while Candy Industry has been creating fantastic videos for quite some time, our offices have only recently created an amazing new video studio so now we can shoot videos in-house as often as we want.
There's a green screen (which everyone has already taken turns pretending to do weather and traffic in front of), lights hot enough to melt a box of chocolates in three seconds flat, and professional cameras on professional tripods. And, of course, what video studio would be complete without a teleprompter? Memorizing lines is for suckers, right Mr. President?
Visions of being the confectionery version of Oprah are already dancing in my head, but my editor-in-chief Bernie Pacyniak tempered those dreams and convinced me to start at a more manageable level with some shorter videos.
So, for our first act, we made a video about the Kid's Choice Awards at the ECRM show in San Antonio. Specifically, we highlighted the event and the three products that won: The Sweetworks' Chocolate Bear Pop for Best New Chocolate; Morris National's Tangy Zangy Sour Wild Berry for Best New Non-Chocolate; and Bazooka's Juicy Drop Taffy for Best New Novelty.
While the video is just two minutes and 59 seconds, we literally spent about 5 hours practicing the shots we needed, and then another six hours filming the different angles.
I always figured the local news anchors had the easiest job in the world, just sitting there reading lines. But now I can fully understand how crazy hard it is to film something like that, and to do it well. Plus, I know it sounds diva-like to say the lights were really hot, but seriously, the lights were really hot.
After all that was done, we had to go through and figure out which shots to use for the final version, just as I imagine Martin Scorsese does with all of his films.
Our parent company, BNP Media, has an amazing video department in our corporate offices in Troy, Mich., so the next step was to send the whole thing to them, along with all the related photos. They then added a background to cover up the green screen, music, text and fairy dust to put the whole thing together and voilà, we had a video!
Next up, we're working on some videos about products from the Sweets and Snacks Expo, and our goal is to eventually do a monthly video about products featured in each issue. We figure it's a great way for everyone to get a better sense what the candy we write about is actually like. Of course, it's also a great incentive for companies to send us samples so they can be featured in the segments. Samples are my favorite.
We also hope to do some interviews with various confectionery professionals in the studio and maybe even some roundtable discussions. We're also open to ideas from our readers, so if there's anything you'd like to see us shoot, just let us know and we'll see what we can do!
For now, this is Crystal Lindell, signing off. Have a sweet day

1.13 Independent Research
Independent Research (commonly called a "499" after the old registration number) gives students the opportunity to work closely with a professor on a topic of mutual interest, usually with the goal of the student producing a major or substantial research paper. Independent Research may be supervised by a member of the faculty (including Emeriti, Visiting Faculty, and Senior Lecturers at the Law School, as well as tenured University of Chicago faculty who maintain permanent offices in the Law School, but excluding Bigelow and other Fellows and Lecturers in Law) who is in full-time residence at the Law School. Visiting faculty may supervise independent research if they are willing to do so and if they are available to work with students until the independent research is completed, which in many cases will be after their visit has ended. Lecturers may not supervise independent research without advance approval. Students who would like to work with a Lecturer on an independent research project must submit a request to the Rules and Petitions Committee (via the Dean of Students) for advance permission to do so.
Additionally, students may only take four independent research credits with the same professor and are limited to six independent research credits total during their time at the Law School.[1]
Please follow these steps to register for a 499:
- Discuss the project with the faculty member;
- Obtain the faculty member's written consent to supervise the project via his or her signature on a properly completed Independent Research Petition (available at http://www.law.uchicago.edu/students/petitions/independentresearch); and
- Submit the form to the Assistant Registrar.
Some students use the 499 as an opportunity to attempt to "write-on" to a journal. A student may receive academic credit for a journal submission only if it meets these criteria:
(1) The work must be entirely original.
(2) If the student has submitted a Topic Proposal to the journal to determine whether the journal is interested in the topic, the student may not receive any research or editorial assistance from journal staff members while the project is in process without prior approval of the faculty member who will be evaluating the paper. For more details see section 1.19.
(3) Students may work only with the faculty member during the research and writing stage.
(4) The paper may be submitted to the journal only after it has been accepted for credit by a faculty member.
Please refer to Section 1.19 (JOURNALS) for a more detailed description of the process of writing onto a journal and the pros and cons of using independent research to "write on."
[1] J.D./PhD students should discuss this limitation with the Associate Director of Student Affairs.

ARM Trying to Muscle into PCs
ARM Holdings, whose chip designs dominate the smartphone industry, expects its processors to be in more than 10 percent of traditional PCs or tablets by next year.
The British chip design house anticipates its market share for traditional or tablet computers will rise to "double digits" in 2013, with market share for traditional PCs alone exceeding 10% by 2015, said Ian Drew, ARM's executive vice president for marketing and business development, on the sidelines of a conference in Taipei Thursday. Mr. Drew said the company's traditional PC market share is in single digits now.
The chip wars have been heating up this year, as ARM, whose chip architecture powers the majority of the world's smartphones, and Intel Corp., whose processors are inside most PCs, wrestle for each others' turf.

Pamela Anderson is reportedly set to open her own casino, to be named Planet Pammie.
An actress, sex symbol, glamor model, producer, TV personality, and author, Pamela Anderson is about to add one more profession into her resume, which is casino owner, as she is said to be keen to open her own casino.
"Pammie is interested in several different ventures and is currently leaning towards a themed venue - possibly a casino," a source was quoted as saying. And by then rumors on the street say Pammy would like to name her casino "Planet Pammy."
Anderson is currently starring as magician Hans Klok's assistant in his Las Vegas show, with whom she's been romantically linked as they got very close since they first worked together. "There's a lot of love backstage. It's very physical. Very loving," the beauty said recently. Hans, meanwhile, added "You call it dating. We call it physical."
In other Anderson news, she has decided to quit Hollywood for magic after agreeing to be Hans' assistant until at least the end of the year.


text: So if you're looking for clues about what will be important to voters in the Midwest in two years or four, folks on both sides of the aisle will tell you â¿¿ perhaps not all that surprisingly â¿¿ to start and stop with the economy."Maybe the auto bailout was part of the shift, and maybe Romney's failures as a candidate," said pollster Paul Maslin, an adviser to Democratic Sen.-elect Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin. "But the biggest determinant is the lack of economic security, causing a constant reassessment of the two political parties." Unlike the Northeast and South, where the political culture is deeply rooted in the region's history and is apt to change at a glacial pace, feelings about party are less engrained in the Midwest. That's a product of the high concentration of working-class white voters, whom polls show to be deeply focused on the economy and open to persuasion based on economic conditions. That was evident Tuesday, when Romney's opposition to the federal bailout of the auto industry â¿¿ defined by an essay he wrote for The New York Times that the newspaper headlined, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" â¿¿ echoed loudly in Ohio, where car making and the related parts supply chain are keys to the state's manufacturing economy. It kept Romney from ever seriously competing for Michigan, a state where his father served both as an auto company executive and for six years as governor. Obama pounced on Romney's opposition to the bailout in Wisconsin and Iowa, two states less reliant on the auto industry but where manufacturing is a key part of the states' economies. According to exit polls, Obama did much better against Romney among working-class white voters in these states than he did nationally. Where Romney had a 26-point lead among these voters nationally, Obama was within 14 points in Ohio, 8 points in Wisconsin and eked out a 2-point advantage in Iowa.

The man's uncle said the family were struggling to cope. "Now we are praying for my nephew's recovery and all who were hurt."
The shots that rang out shattered the quiet of rural Imbali Unit 14.
Police spokesman, Captain Thulani Zwane, confirmed the man had been arrested after he stabbed his former girlfriend's new boyfriend in the neck.
He was taken to a clinic, where he disarmed a police reservist and shot him. He fled to his home, where he allegedly held his family hostage. Police tried to gain entry, but two officers were wounded. They were taken to hospital.

I'm filing a chapter 7... will I keep all my property?
Answer: Maybe.
Federal and state bankruptcy laws describe what property is exempt, meaning what you get to protect from creditors and keep to yourself. In a chapter 7 bankruptcy, none of your exempt (protected) property can be liquidated (sold) for the purpose of repaying creditors.
If you've been domiciled (basically means resided) in California for at least 2 years, then California's bankruptcy exemption statutes apply. Otherwise the Federal bankruptcy exemption laws or your former state's bankruptcy laws apply. Other states may have more or less generous provisions than California. In California, you'll choose from two sets of exemptions. Under both systems, normal household goods, from clothing to furniture, TVs, etc. are generally protected. Under both systems, retirement accounts are generally exempt. However, there are differences between the systems. System 1 emphasizes protection of home equity. System 2 gives you more freedom to protect a great variety of personal property. When we consider values, we're looking at used values or what the items would fetch at auction. Here are some highlights that distinguish the two sets of exemptions available in California:
California's "System 1" derives from the Code of Civil Procedure §704. That funny-lookin' S means "section." For verbose people, lawyers sure like their abbreviations. System 1 has a large protection for equity in your residence: the amount depends on the type of ownership, your age, family situation and other variables. The range is $37.5K to $175K. For motor vehicles, System 1 lets you protect $2,725 in equity. So, let's say you owe Ford $20,000 on your Mustang, and the pony's worth $22,725. You have $2,725 of equity in the sports car, which is all exempt from liquidation. Under System 1, jewelry, heirlooms and art are covered up to a value of $7,175 total. Equity in goods used in your occupation are covered up to $7,175 or twice that amount if you work with your spouse.
California's second exemption system derives from the Code of Civil Procedure §703. This system is designed primarily for debtors with minimal or no home equity. There are some limited specific exemptions, such as $3,525 of equity in a vehicle, $1,425 in jewelry and $2,200 in tools of trade. However, System 2 also gives you an allowance of $22,075 to protect any type of personal property, from cash to that first edition, first printing of Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone signed by J.K. herself. Let's say you have a limited Dark Highland Green Mustang GT Bullitt, worth $25,600 and you own it free and clear. Well, you can apply the $3,525 vehicle exemption AND the $23,250 "wildcard" allowance and thus protect the car, (if not your gas costs at 15 mpg in the city).
Here is the primary or official source for these exemptions, however the amounts therein are not current. Beware: a lot of secondary sources also don't update the amounts (Web sites are a pain to upate). But no worries, we keep apprised and will keep you covered.
What happens if my property is liquidated in a chapter 7 bankruptcy?
The bankruptcy exemption protections still apply. If a property is sold in bankruptcy, you're still entitled to the exemption amount taken from the sale proceeds.
What if my equity is right near the bankruptcy exemption limit?
In weighing whether to sell the property, the bankruptcy trustee will consider the sale costs and the trustee's own commission. Those factors essentially increase the amount of equity. This is particularly significant when it comes to the high sales and closing costs for homes. Also, a non-exempt property may have no market and not be readily sold. The bankruptcy trustee might then abandon the property and let you keep it, even though technically, it's not exempt.

CALVIN Andrew has revealed how York City manager Nigel Worthington helped him and his team-mates back up off the floor following Saturday's stoppage-time agony against Accrington.
The City chief put his own frustration at dropping two points to one side, as he addressed his demoralised players in the dressing room following Shay McCartan's 91st-minute equaliser.
Instead, Worthington offered a reminder of how far the team has travelled since the turn of the year and made sure all minds were looking forward to Good Friday's away meeting with play-off rivals Oxford, rather than stewing on the 1-1 draw with Stanley.
There were no tea cups thrown or finger-pointing from the ex-Northern Ireland and Norwich boss and 27-year-old striker Andrew, who made his full City debut in the game, believes that was exactly the right approach to reinvigorate the squad ahead of a crucial Easter programme.
He said: "As we all walked off the pitch, we felt disappointed at conceding so late in the game but, once we got in the changing room, the manager said a few words and it was heads-up time. That was important because it's only natural you feel deflated but, after the manager said his bits and pieces, we were confident and ready to go again.
"It was a point towards where we want to be and we are still in with a shout so we have to be confident going into the next few games and we will now go to Oxford and give it our best."
Andrew added that completing a full match for the first time since Boxing Day, when he played in a 3-0 defeat for previous club Mansfield at Rochdale, was a psychological boost for himself.
"A full 90 minutes was what I needed because it's been a good few months," he admitted. "The manager knew that I could get through 60 or 70 minutes quite comfortably and I am reasonably fit now.
"Those last 20 minutes were just what I needed and I know it's all in the tank now. You always want to be out on the pitch being part of something, so I was very pleased to get a start.
"It's difficult coming into a team that's doing so well and I was glad the manager felt confident enough to start me in the game. I was aching afterwards and not walking too comfortably but that's all part and parcel of the game.
"I look after myself and I will be ready for Friday. As a footballer, all you want to do is play and, hopefully, I can help contribute towards something great now."
Andrew has only managed one goal in his last 29 outings but thought he had got off the mark in his first start for City only to narrowly miss the target on 42 minutes.
On that chance, he recalled: "I am sure any striker would claim a shot was going in but it would have gone in the far corner before the deflection, which was a shame, but we almost scored from the corner and I just want to be part of something."
The 6ft 2in forward was also encouraged with the manner in which he and Michael Coulson performed as striking partners but insisted that he should not solely be regarded as an attacking foil or target man for his new club.
"Myself and Couls work on bits and pieces in training and the partnership feels very comfortable," Andrew reasoned. "He's a top lad and somebody I will enjoy playing with if I am called upon again.
"It looks like the classic big man, little man set-up but, as I get into things, I will show more in terms of running at people and going past them to show I can do a bit myself."
Andrew is also daring to contemplate a glorious end to a difficult season personally.
The Luton-born striker, who once played for his home town, Crystal Palace and Millwall in the Championship, was without a club for more than two months prior to joining the Minstermen in March having been released by Mansfield early in the new year.
He is now targeting a career first, however, as City hunt down a Sky Bet League Two top-seven spot with four games to play.
"I have had an up-and-down season and I've never played at Wembley so to finish it there with a medal around my neck would be wonderful," Andrew confessed.
City are Andrew's 11th club, including six loan spells as a professional and he has finished the last four seasons with different sides.
On whether he sees a future beyond his short-term contract at Bootham Crescent, he said: "I am just taking every day as it comes. I get on very well with the players and staff so it will be a case of seeing how the end to this season goes and taking things from there."

Cross Creek gate crasher!
The Seneca police ask the public for help in identifying and locating the person and vehicle responsible for a hit-and-run property damage at Cross Creek Plantation. A rear access gate to the golf course community accessible from Return Church Road at Chris Lane was damaged sometime between 5 p-m July 4 and 8 a-m Friday. Investigating officers determined the gate was hit by a vehicle—possibly a 2002-2005 Hyundai Sonata. They believe the vehicle shows damage to its front and is missing an amber side marker light/reflector assembly on the front driver's side. They further believe the vehicle will have green or bluish-green paint. If you have information, you are asked to contact Sgt. Crum or Officer Abercombie at 885-2718.

FOR 13 years, Lorraine Hammond thought the reason she could not lose weight was down to her underactive thyroid.
Although the condition contributed to her being overweight, she has since gone on to prove she can drop the pounds.
Just a few tweaks to her diet and exercise have seen Lorraine lose 19 pounds in ten weeks.
Lorraine says: "I had convinced myself that I couldn't lose weight, because of the underactive thyroid I was diagnosed with 13 years ago.
"I had been going to the gym for a couple of years, but I hadn't lost any weight. I just accepted it was because of the condition."
Then Lorraine embarked on Southend-based Energie Fitness's ten-week Weigh to Go programme.
She dropped from a size 16-18 to a size 12 in that time and lost three-and-a-half inches from her waist.
Lorraine's diet and exercise regime before was not unhealthy, but there was room for improvement.
She says: "I used to eat a lot of bread, including a piece of toast and jam for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and then a home-cooked dinner. "I went to the gym regularly, but I did not mix it up with different things like core work."
Instructor Annie Mullis made a few small tweaks to Lorraine's diet and exercise, and the weight started to come off.
Lorraine says: "I was told to replace toast with porridge and prunes for breakfast.
"For lunch, I'll have a salad with corn thins, and then dinner is lean meat and vegetables.
"I also snack on bananas and I have hummus and carrot sticks as an alternative.
"Changes to my workout included one-to-one sessions with Annie using the Pilates ball and the vibrating plate. Annie said that I had a weak core and we worked on ways to strengthen it."
Lorraine is feeling good about her weight loss and the permanent changes to her routine.
She says: "I went to Florida on holiday recently and I felt good in a swimming costume for the first time in years.
"I can't use having an underactive thyroid as an excuse any more for being overweight.
"It does make losing weight harder, but now I know how to maintain a healthy weight in a manageable way."

Dining on a Budget | Kajun Kuisine
Published 12:00 am, Friday, March 14, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — If you want to enjoy some good Louisiana dishes, step up to the cafeteria-style line at Kajun Kuisine.
The dishes convey lots of flavor and seasoning, and don't go crazy with the cayenne. If you want some extra sizzle, there's hot sauce on the table.
Start with the jambalaya, a thick and slightly creamy version that hits all the right flavor notes. A confident introduction on the front palate continues with zestiness from Andouille sausage and depth from chicken chunks in a thick rice that has absorbed flavor from a skillfully made roux.
Order it as part of a Kajun Plate, a combo that includes a main item, two sides and a not-too-sweet cornbread muffin.
Or better yet, make the highlight of your plate a serving of tender and deeply flavored meatloaf. Meatloaf aficionados — and you know who you are — need to try this version. It's worth the drive from any part of town.
But the baked chicken also proves a good choice, as do the juicy fried chicken wings, served whole.
Food & Drink Channel
Almost any of the sides would serve as a good accompaniment, but favorites have to be the sweet potatoes that are not cloyingly sweet, the meaty dirty rice, the cheesy macaroni and cheese, red beans and rice, or perhaps the cabbage in a light gravy.
Ordering here is simple: Walk up the left-hand side of the serving line, grab a tray and some utensils, and start choosing what looks good. After selecting the main and side items, you can add a salad or some soup. Perhaps a cup of gumbo. Then pay at the counter on your way out.
There's also the option of a po' boy, either by itself or with a side, a salad or cup of gumbo. Next time I'll order it for sure.

But any order must include some banana pudding. It gets all the details right, from a flavorful pudding with good vanilla flavor to vanilla wafers that retain a touch of crispness to enough sliced bananas in the pudding to give it flavor.
The sweet potato pie works nicely, too, but there's no substitute for the banana pudding. If you want to make sure you have enough room, consider eating dessert first. Go ahead, live a little.
