Will Microsoft Really Sell Surface for $199?
There has been a ton of buzz surrounding the rumored $199 price point for Surface, Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) first tablet. It sounds like a brilliant marketing move for the Windows distributor to make, but is it too good to be true?
"[It] seems like a low price for the technology in there," James D. Ragan, Senior Equity Analyst at Crowell, Weedon & Co., told Benzinga this afternoon. "I'd be a little surprised if that's the price."
Trip Chowdhry, the Managing Director of Equity Research at Global Equities Research, said that he hopes the rumor is true.
"It makes business sense to have it priced at $199," he said. "At $199, the product is a gem. At $800, it was useless."
Chowdhry had previously estimated that Surface would cost between $700 and $800. He had hoped that Microsoft would save its ad budget and give Surface away for free.
However, it may be impossible for Microsoft to sell the device at any low price point without taking a loss.
"They have to buy all the components -- the SSD, the processor, NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) processor, a touch screen," said Ragan. "I just think it'd be hard to make money at $199 on that."
Ragan believes that the lowest amount that Microsoft could charge would be $400 to $500. He doubts that Microsoft could sell the tablet for a lower price and make up for it by selling expensive software.
"I think that's possible," Ragan said. "But you're certainly not going to have the long-term software stream that you get from a gaming device, an Xbox. To me, if they come out with a price where they're losing money, there's problems with that on multiple levels. You're gonna have other PC vendors competing in that space, too, and that's already an issue. If they're going to undercut the price so much, that's going to cause problems with a lot of their customers, too."
Microsoft may be under pressure to charge a low price for Surface now that Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) first tablet, the Nexus 7, has shipped with a base price of $199. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is expected to unveil the next Kindle Fire, which may also ship at $199, later this month.
Meanwhile, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), the current leader of the tablet industry, may unveil a smaller and cheaper iPad in September.

Slingbox 500 and Slingbox 350 Break Cover

Slingbox 500 will display smartphone content on your TV
Sling Media has unveiled a pair of new settop boxes for its Slingbox family called the Slingbox 500 and the Slingbox 350. Both new products will be available in retail stores and promise full HD resolution streaming video sent from your home to your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or other device.
"Slingbox is still the best way to extend the entire living room TV experience anywhere," said Sling Media's Senior Vice President and General Manager, Raghu Tarra. "We've redesigned our Slingbox products from the ground up, adding features and enhancements that make them easier to set-up and use while creating the highest performing products on the market. With these new product introductions Sling Media continues to evolve and disrupt the category we created."
Slingbox 500
The 500 has integrated IR emitters for controlling the settop box and includes Wi-Fi, HDMI, component, and composite connectivity. The device can placeshift content allowing you to stream live TV programming anywhere. The 500 also has a first for a Slingbox product -- the ability to receive content and display it on the TV from the portable device with a feature called SlingProjector.
SlingProjector allows users to wirelessly display photos and other media from their smartphone on their TV in the living room. Slingbox says that it will also have other ways to display content on the television screen in the coming months.
The Slingbox 350 supports full HD resolution streaming video to compatible mobile devices. It has integrated IR emitters making it able to interact with your cable or satellite boxes. This device does not have integrated Wi-Fi and doesn't have the ability to send content from your smart phone to your television screen.
Slingbox 350
Sling Media is also announcing a new SlingPlayer software client for desktop and mobile platforms. The company is offering the client software for Android, Windows Phone, and iOS at a price of $14.99 via a special launch offer.
Both new Slingbox devices will go on sale on October 14 in the U.S. and will hit Canada in November. The 500 will sell for $299.99 while the 350 will be priced at $179.99.
"We shipped it on Saturday. Then on Sunday, we rested." -- Steve Jobs on the iPad launch

Hey guys!
So I will be traveling Europe from July until November this year and am working out my budget. I think I have realistic calculations but would like confirmation from someone who has done it before. The places I'll be visiting are:
Scandinavia and the Baltic States (3 weeks)
Central Europe - Poland, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary (1 month)
Eastern Europe (2 months)
Western Europe - Northern Italy, Southern France, Spain, Portugal (1 month)
As far as I can tell the only places I'm going that are expensive are Scandinavia (obviously), France, Italy and Austria. Eastern Europe SEEMS to be pretty damn cheap.
I have budgeted myself £35 per day for everything:
Accommodation - hostels (breakfast usually included)
Food - mostly buy from supermarkets and cook myself
Drink - I'm not a heavy drinker so only the occasional beer night
Travel - cheapest options (flights around Scandinavia already booked so not included in budget)
Other - I'm not a fan of paying some of the heavy entrance fees to certain attractions
Would just like to put my mind to ease so I know I have the available funds to do everything I want to. Cheers for any help!

These instructions are for users who have all required supporting packages present on their systems, and their python installation already works with all those required modules enabled. In other words, the stand-alone PyRAF installation is for those users who know what they are doing.
Or, you may wish instead to install all of stsci_python .
There are two methods described below since you may either install via "setup.py" or via "pip".
Installing via "setup.py"
To install the stand-alone PyRAF build, download and then unpack the source distribution file in some temporary area on disk. PyRAF requires the packages d2to1, stsci.distutils, and stsci.tools from stsci_python, so they have been included for you in the tar file.
- gunzip pyraf-n.m.tar.gz
- tar xvf pyraf-n.m.tar
- cd pyraf-n.m/required_pkgs/d2to1
- python setup.py install # this installs d2to1
- cd ../stsci.tools
- python setup.py install # this installs stsci.tools
- cd ../..
- python setup.py install # this installs pyraf
This will install d2to1 and stsci.tools and then PyRAF into the Python installation found in your PATH. The process may also require the package "distribute" (and possibly other installer-related packages), but if so, the installation should automatically download and install them for you.
If you have multiple installations of Python on your machine, use the fully qualified pathname to the python executable above in place of "python".
Also see:
python setup.py --help
Installing via "pip"
To install the stand-alone PyRAF build (and all of its requirements) via "pip", you will first need to install "pip" itself. When you have a working pip on the shell command line, use it to install PyRAF.
- pip install pyraf
This will download and install stsci.tools and then PyRAF into the Python installation found in your PATH,
or the one associated with the version of pip found on your PATH. This will require internet access.
If you have any difficulties, first
pip uninstall stsci.tools
pip uninstall pyraf, then try again.
If you have multiple installations of Python on your machine, use the fully qualified pathname to the correct pip executable above in place of "pip".
Also if you wish you may visit the pip pyraf page.
Also see:
pip --help
Personal Install
If you are installing using the "--home" arg (e.g. you do not have permission to install to your Python installation area), the directions are similar. Use the install command:
python setup.py install --home='/home/bob/my_installs'
But make sure you also set your PYTHONPATH to point to "/home/bob/my_installs/lib/python". This will need to be done before the actual install of PyRAF since it uses stsci.tools during installation.
You may also want to try using Virtualenv (www.virtualenv.org)
Python 3
If you are installing the Python-3-supporting version of PyRAF (and you have downloaded the appropriate file), you will not need to do anything special or run the 2to3 tool - this has already been done for you. Simply install as listed above.
Other Packages
If you wish to perform manual installations of other STScI software packages as you have done above with PyRAF, you may download any parts you need at:
and instructions on manual installation are here.
If you have any difficulties with the installation of any of the packages in stsci_python, or even if you just have questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The effect of compounds on the cell cycle is widely studied in the drug discovery industry. The cell cycle is divided into two main "phases": interphase and mitosis. Interphase is where the cell prepares for mitosis and it is divided into three sub-phases: G1, S, and G2. Movement across these phases is regulated by a number of complex signalling pathways. Mitosis is where the chromosomes in the nucleus separate into two identical sets (cell division).
Traditionally, cell cycle assays have been carried out using fluorescent dyes to stain for nuclear content using flow cytometry methods to quantify the amount of DNA. More recently however, research groups are using fluorescent imaging systems such as acumen hci for these studies, allowing rapid high-content screening of the effect of compounds on the cell cycle.
In this application note we demonstrate the use of fluorescent dyes to analyse the cell cycle phases of adherent HeLa cells in situ in 384-well plates using TTP Labtech's acumen hci, which provides valuable secondary information by preserving morphological changes that may have occurred during drug treatment.

This webinar for food processing will cover the overview of systems necessary to reduce the risk of foreign material contamination, associated guidelines, HACCP and prerequisite programs followed by investigative techniques and a customer and team response plan.
Why Should You Attend:

Industry best practices have changed over recent years with the advent of new technology and the increasing popularity of processed foods. Consumer standards are higher and tolerance for deviations is lower.
When there is an incident, it can be devastating for the consumer and the brand. Foreign material control is a major component of HACCP and food safety. Preventing potential injury from ingestion of sharp objects is one of the basic principles that all food processing operators must employ. Team members play a key role and should know how they are accountable to ensure food safety and quality.
This 60 minute training will consist of overview of systems necessary to reduce the risk of foreign material contamination, followed by investigative techniques and a customer and team response plan. At the end of this webinar, the speaker will handle your specific questions related to the topic.
Learning Objectives:
- Changes in Recall Authority enacted by the Food Safety and Modernization Act of 2011.
- GFSI Product traceability standards.
- Material Labeling, Segregation and Documentation for traceability.
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
- Guiding principles for establishing meaningful limits.

Given the abundance of options at the network, it's saying something to name Martin Bashir as the most noisome of MSNBC hosts. But so he is, in my book.
Witness the low stunt Bashir pulled to open his show today, on the afternoon of the South Carolina primary. Bashir superimposed photos of the Republican candidates in front of a Confederate flag image. Lest their be any doubt as to the message Bashir meant to send, the screen graphic read "Rebel Yell." Oh those racist Republicans. Video after the jump.
Why not Photoshop the Republicans around a burning cross next time, Martin, and be done with it?
Note: Bashir can't defend himself on the grounds that the Stars and Bars form part of the South Carolina state flag. They don't. See here.

Chilliwack red hatters just want to have fun
The Coast Hotel was seeing red last Friday . . . and they were happy for the business.
With their nine-year run of holding luncheons at an end with the closing of the iconic Minter Gardens, Chilliwack's red hat ladies have found a new home at the Coast.
A total of 62 members attended the 16th birthday of the Red Hat Society, which has members in 13 countries around the world. Here in Chilliwack, there are 14 chapters with 300 members in total.
Red hatters have a pretty simple philosophy when it comes to their "purely social club."
"Freedom, fun and friendship," explained Evelyn Gramolini, chair of the Upper Fraser Valley council of Red Hats.
And while red is the predominant colour when the group meets, you'll also see "pinkies" (those under 50) and those wearing purple to signify it is their birthday month.

In preparation for the real beginning of football this Sunday (football on a Wednesday? What is this, the MAC?), I simulated a season in Madden NFL 13 to get a feel for what computers think will happen this year. Let's just say — and as a fan of dystopian science fiction, I never say this — I really hope they're right.
1. Records Will Fall
According to the computer that has replaced John Madden's brain, we're in for an offensive barn-burner of a season. Records will be challenged and falling left and right. Receptions? Look out for Miles Austin who will best the current record for catches in a season by 1,397 receptions. I mean I guess they could have meant yards, but I want to see him catch more than 100 passes a game. Get it to him, Romo!
Madden is bullish on the 49ers and Frank Gore's historic season has a lot to do with it. That's not all that surprising though, have you seen Alex Smith play quarterback (we'll come back to this).
Add Matt Ryan's epic 565 yard day to the above, along with a near-historic day from Randy Moss in week 3 against Minneosta (360 receiving yards!) and Roger Goodell's plan to weaken defenses and juice scores will finally be complete! It's amazing what happens when receivers can go across the middle all day.
2. Nightmares Will End
Congrats Chargers fans! After another disappointing playoff exit, Norv Turner will hang up his headset to go play golf, where he'll play decently for 17 holes before turning around, hitting the ball as hard as he can backwards, taking off his pants and shitting on the tee box.
Tired of Goodell's draconian fines, James Harrison will be free to start a fight club where he can hit people in the head as hard as he wants.
As a Browns fan this made me happy. He didn't even make it to the regular season.
After failing to make the playoffs, the Bengals will finally cut ties with Marvin Lewis, proving that no one can sit on a hot seat for so many years without negative ass consequences.
3. People Will Be Dumb On Twitter
Yeah, because the problem is that Marvin Lewis didn't have enough time.
Okay, thanks Robert!
Today I learned that Mark Schlereth makes a mean chili, and that his fans don't know how to spell chili. (Either that or Mark Schlereth has huge pull in the country Chile, and was able to gift it to someone.)
4. New Nightmares Will Begin
Read that description again. Hey Jacksonville fans, are you ready for the Chad Henne era?
5. Weird College Football Stories Will Happen
One of the funniest new features in Madden is the story lines that are created for the fictional college stars you scout. Take Hank Delaney, who was a middling fullback at San Jose State before finally being moved to tailback, where he promptly became dominant. I want some crazy shit like this to happen in real life this year.
Did I say middling? Well Skip, disagrees with that assessment of ol' Hank.
The Ballad of John Lugo is my favorite of these fictional stories. Lugo was a talented middle linebacker at Pitt before becoming a deranged, violent crazy person. Early in the season he's ejected from a game and then suspended for punching another player.
And then a few weeks later he commits what is only referred to as a "violent attack" on a Boston College player. What happened? Did he take off this kid's helmet and beat him with it? Did he dropkick him? Did he bring a knife onto the field?
Happy trails John Lugo. I hope no one in FBS goes Metta World War on anyone this season, but I could use some colorful Lugo-esque characters.
6. Insanity Will Reign
The 49ers are going all the way! Because of Frank Gore's dominance? Nope. Alex Smith will turn into Peyton Manning for the Super Bowl against Pittsburgh. No word whether any pig shit got on his uniform, as a flock of them will be seen flying over the stadium.
Because when you're an average fullback it's best to hold out. Good idea fake Greg Jones. I wish this was real. The absurdity is so sweet.
The real craziness will happen when Tony Gonzalez signs a six year deal in Atlanta. This would make him the first tight end to be elegible for Social Security while still playing pro football (probably). The twelve Falcons fans will be so pissed. I, on the other hand, will never stop laughing.
7. Skip Bayless Will Be A Jackass
Some people hate Skip, but the world needs villains and he's among the best (alongside people like Kristen Stewart and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad). I hope he doesn't soften this year. Madden doesn't think he will.
Skip's not impressed in the preseason even if you're Aaron Rodgers
Read both fake Skip tweets. If this doesn't sum up why he's the best, nothing will.
Yeah, but I bet you'll try, Skip.

BURGLARS who posed as golfers to carry out raids on clubhouses in East Lancashire have been jailed – after they were caught on camera.
Daniel Lloyd, 43, and Joe McCaughey, 26, targeted Nelson, Rossendale and Chorley golf club's during their 16-month nationwide spree.
The National Crime Agency believe they could have raided up to 1,000 lockers and stolen equipment worth more than £750,000 from across 17 counties.
The pair dressed in golf attire, chatted to golfers and duped members of staff to access to changing rooms. They forced lockers open in the middle of the day and stole items including golf clubs, bags and clothing.
Lloyd and McCaughey were responsible for at least 36 separate burglaries, including four in Lancashire in a single day, some of which were caught on CCTV.
Steve Baldwin, head of regional investigations at the National Crime Agency, said: "These men were professional burglars who tried to mask their identities by avoiding CCTV cameras, changing their clothes to enter the same clubs over and over again, and using false number plates on their vehicles."
The pair came to the attention of the NCA following an investigation into a corrupt criminal defence lawyer who was sentenced last year for perverting the course of justice. Lloyd was one of the lawyer's close associates and was arrested at the time.
When officers searched Lloyd's home they found evidence on his computer of internet searches for golf club thefts, locker security and lock picking.
Further investigation revealed that Lloyd and McCaughey were the subjects of a wanted appeal by police which featured on BBC's Crimewatch in 2010.
At the time police had asked for information on two men they believed had struck 60 times while clubhouses were open for business by posing as golfers and brazenly raiding lockers.
Officers believe Lloyd funded his lifestyle by committing crime as there are no tax records to support his claim that he was a businessman involved in property and car deals.
In addition to his luxury house, which is worth over £800,000, he drove high value vehicles including a Bentley and a Range Rover.
Mr Baldwin said: "When we discovered they were the wanted men from the appeal, the NCA worked with police forces and golf clubs across the country to gather evidence.
"We proved they had stolen equipment from hundreds of golfers, which they disposed of here and overseas.
"Our focus is now the financial side of the investigation and stripping them of their assets."
Between 10am on May 4, 2009 and 7pm on May 5, 2009, the two men stole equipment worth £3,575 from Rossendale Golf Club, in Ewood Lane Head, Haslingden.
Between 6pm on May 6, 2009, and 2pm on May 7, 2009, they took equipment worth £1,350 from secure lockers at Nelson Golf Club, in Kings Causeway, Brierfield.
And between 6am and 10pm on September 1, 2009, they stole equipment valued at £2,300 from Chorley Golf Club, in Heath Charnock.
Although evidence relating to 36 golf clubs burglaries was used during the three-week trial at Birmingham Crown Court, officers believe Lloyd and McCaughey were responsible for many more and could have raided up to a 1,000 lockers and stolen equipment worth over £750,000.
When they gained access to the changing rooms, which they sometimes did by duping members of staff, they stole full sets of golf clubs, shoes, clothing and even cherry-picked the more expensive clubs.
The main vehicle they used was a Chrysler Grand Voyager which was registered to an address linked to Lloyd. He sold the vehicle shortly after the Crimewatch programme was aired.
Lloyd, of Holwood Estate, Westerham Road, Keston, was locked up for five years, while McCaughey, of King Henry's Drive, New Addington, Croydon, was jailed for three years after they were found guilty of conspiracy to burgle.

The wife of White County football coach Gregg Segraves was granted a temporary protective order on Sept. 23 after alleging multiple instances of domestic violence, including one she claims occurred on school grounds.
Segraves was placed on indefinite leave by the White County school system on Sept. 22 and has not returned to work since that time. When reached for comment, he declined to make a statement.
In Segraves' absence, defensive coordinator Tommy Flowers has assumed coaching duties for the Warriors.
Segraves' wife, Cindy, is a teacher at White County High. In the petition for the protective order, she alleged instances of abuse on Sept. 19, 20 and 21. She stated the final incident occurred on school property.
White County School superintendent Paul A. Shaw did not return phone calls regarding the matter. Laurie Burkett, director of personnel for White County schools, confirmed that Segraves was on leave earlier this week, but didn't provide a timeline for how long Segraves will remain on leave, or how and when resolution to the matter will be reached.
Segraves has been at White County since 2006, posting a 26-19 record with the Warriors. He previously coached Hart County from 2001-02, posting a 17-6 record.
White County (3-1) plays hosts to Lumpkin County (3-1) at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

A few years ago, Starbucks began offering their now famous salted caramel hot chocolate. I LOVED it immediately and thought that I would like to develop a cookie based on this amazing concoction. I started playing around with recipes, but until now, the recipe remained in beta. Of course the interwebs are now filled with varying recipes, but below is my version.
Salted Caramel Chocolate Cookies
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 lb package of soft caramel (found at baking supply stores)
Beat butter, sugar, egg yolk, milk and vanilla until blended.
Stir flour, cocoa and salt.
Blend into butter mixture.
Chill for one hour.
Roll into ball, press center using measuring spoon.
Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes.
Melt caramel in stove top pan on low heat. Add a couple of tablespoons? (I didn't measure) of milk, heavy cream or half and half and stir in with caramel.
Spoon mixture into cookies immediately after baking.
Sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Drizzle with melted chocolate (dark or milk).
Roll dough in egg white and favorite chopped nuts prior to baking.
PS. It is not on the menu at Starbucks, but if you ask for a shot of espresso with the salted caramel hot chocolate, you can turn it into a mocha! Good times!

Vegan Buckwheat Salad Recipe
A Reader Recipe: Vegan Buckwheat Salad
FitSugar reader amusesbouche was so inspired by our cooking video with Ann Gentry that she made the vegan buckwheat salad herself! She posted this pic in the Healthy Recipe group — doesn't it look tasty?
I was totally inspired by the vegan buckwheat salad with Asian sesame dressing that Zelana and Ann Gentry made on FitSugar, so I decided to seek out the ingredients and toss them together for dinner. I couldn't locate maple bacon tempeh — my Whole Foods only had bacon tempeh, which was a tad salty — so I used a mix of soy tempeh and the bacon tempeh as a topping. The best part was the Farmhouse Culture sauerkraut I chopped into the groats. The whole thing was amazing, and I can't wait to make it again later this week!

FDA Approves ABRAXANE for the First-Line Treatment of Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Celgene Corporation (NASDAQ: CELG) today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved ABRAXANE^® (paclitaxel protein-bound particles for injectable suspension) (albumin-bound) for the first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, in combination with carboplatin, in patients who are not candidates for curative surgery or radiation therapy.
"Non-small cell is the most common type of lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death in the United States," said Dr. Mark A. Socinski, MD, Director, Lung Cancer Section, Division of Hematology/Oncology, University of Pittsburgh, and lead investigator of ABRAXANE phase II and phase III lung cancer trials. "The FDA approval of ABRAXANE is exciting for healthcare professionals because it offers an important new treatment option for all types of non-small cell lung cancer patients, in an area that has seen few treatment advancements in recent years."

The Telephone - Poem by Wayne Leon Learmond
You know it's going to ring
But what does it care?
Seeing you tormented
pulling at you're hair.
It's lair is the table
Where the thing resides
And if it had an attitude
you should not be surprised.
For the thing likes to tease -
likes to cause you fear
Ringing when you least expect
When there's noone here.
Who would be calling
at that time of night?
For you're a loner
and it's got NO RIGHT.
To ring like that
Scaring you witless
Making you jump
and making you nervous.
These calls you've been getting
in the middle of the night
The silence is deafening
But you're too tired to fight.
When you lift the receiver
When you say hello
You know you're tormentor
and you're tormentor
has to go.
But the thing has become an entity
Battling for you're mind
It rings when you're asleep
Ringing nearly all the time.
It seems to alway sense
when you are all alone
And plays upon you're fear of the

Topic: You can't understand unless you been there.
I spoke to one of Wayne's friends from years ago, he could not understand why I am depressed. He at first told me he would help me, look through all our papers. He told me he was a attorney, Wayne never told me this. I thought well I could use some help with his workers comp. plus other things, he told me I needed to get myself straight. Then he said it didn't look I was ready to do anything, he said I needed to get on with my life. This man has never lost a spouse, of 35 years so who is he to tell me I needed to get straight. He told me that he stopped coming by to Wayne because Wayne always seemed depressed. Why would he be depressed? He had been diagnoised with sarcoidosis (Bernie Mack Disease), got hurt at work lost leg above knee, and had open heart surgery. He wasn't even around after that for the blood clots and cholangiocarcinoma. Why would I be depressed and ready to see my Wayne again?
I'm not a widow, I am a wife
We are only apart for heaven's sake
You are waiting for me at heaven's gate

" Brand: The Body Shop / Type: Diffuser / Category: Home Fragrance "
Body Shop Cranberry Joy Reed Diffuser
Recently I have had a few vouchers for Body Shop and they have been having a good sale too so I have been tempted in and have bought some things that I would not normally have bought. I suspect some of these were old stock and they needed to get rid before the for new stuff Christmas came in for this year. Personally I think a lot of Body Shop stuff is over priced and that the price I pay when on sale is about right.
I like having these reed diffusers around the house as our house is on the market and these are an easy way of keeping the unused rooms smelling fragrant and different from each other and that way the aromas are subtly noticed by visitors as they walk around.
I try to avoid the foody scented one unless it is for the kitchen and so fruit and spice ones are my usual choices. This cranberry one caught my eye as it was 50% reduced and I also bought a couple of other cranberry joy items while I was there too.
This one I put in my son's old bedroom which is now empty and it makes a perfect amount of scent in there. The room is not huge and we keep the door closed all the time to keep the cats out of there and prevent any extra bits they might bring in so it doesn't get a lot of air movement and needs a bit of freshening in my view. This smell is subtle, and not too sweet so suits the room which is not feminine at all, very simple and plain.
As I open the room I am aware that there is a nice fruity aroma, it smells exactly like their bath crystals and oil and others in the same range, it definitely isn't sweet and does not bowl you over in any way.
I liked the fact that the glass container was made from recycled glass and can of course be recycled again after the scented oil has dried out. The reed sticks are similar to others and they stick out of the jar and look quite nice , it is understated and simple which again suits the room's décor.
I paid 50% of the rrp and I think I paid about £7 which I think is about what it is worth, I would not pay £15 for it even though it has lasted for a good few months probably because the room doesn't get used much so there is little air movement and also it is north facing so doesn't get a lot of sun. Mine has been going strong for about three months now and still has some oil left in it.
I do like the smell and it does scent the room and it has lasted well but I don't feel it is worth £15 so it loses a star for that. I would happily buy it again at 50% off though. I will watch out for it AFTER Christmas to see if I can grab another in the sale.
Thanks for reading. This review may be posted on other sites under my same user name.
I bought three of these in the Body Shop just before Christmas 2010 to be gifts. They were in the three for two offer, and forteen pounds each, so it came to 28 pounds for three presents.
The reed diffusers come primarily in a cardboard box, it is tall and rectangular. Packing is quite scarce, so don't order these off the internet as they is a chance they might not arrive in just one piece. Inside the box is a cylindrical glass 'vase' type shape. Into this you pour the oil (which until you receive the product is sealed, so none of the smell can break out!) The oil takes up about three quarters of the glass vase. If you wanted you could use a different type of smelling oil, but it would be pointless buying this particular set, you may as well just buy the set which you like the smell of.
Once you have poured the solution into the vase, you add the reed diffuser sticks. Each set has around eight of them. They sink to the bottom of the solution so they sit at the bottom of the vase and they poke out the top. They work by absorbing the solution, it travels up the sticks and slowly evaporates from the sticks into and around the room.
The mechanism of delivery makes the smell a subtle and long lasting one. It is not over powering, but the cranberry scent is still quite significant, in my opinion. I personally only really like it around Chirstmas as I think it can be quite seasonal, but that is just personal opinion. I really really like the vanilla and nutmeg version of this set which I got bought as a gift the year before.
The set is long lasting, good quality and good value for money. Once the solution has run out you can replace it, but the reeds won't last more than a year in my opinion. The set makes a lovely gift for a nice home!
I bought 1 of these for my Mum's Christmas. Again this was a purchase made from my Friend who held a Body Shop Party, but I was looking for an extra thing for my mum anyway. She always liked the Yankee Candle Reed Diffuser i've had in my bathroom for the last 9 months (and there is still plenty of it left in it), so I thought why not get her one. There was quite a few scents to choose from, but I have used the Body Shop Cranberry Body Butter and loved the scent so this was my choice.
This cost £15 for this, which may seem a lot, but they last a good lenght of time anyway. After I made the purchase I wanted 1 myself, but with it being Christmas time I needed all the £15's I could get like everyone else at that time of year. 2 weeks ago I went onto The Body Shop's website to look for a present for a friend and I saw that these were reduced to less than half price and selling at £7, so that was mine! You get free delivery if you spend over £15 which I was doing anyway.
This comes in a long rectangular box like the Dooyoo picture. The colouring looks quite rich, and I think it all looks ok. This was also in a clear plastic bag as well for some reason, perhaps not to damage the box. Just open the box and the top and get into the product.
This looks quite simple. It is just a 90ml Glass bottle thing. Not a proper bottle shape, but pretty much. It is wider at the bottom and gets narrower nearer the top. The liquid is clear as well. Perhaps things like this could look a bit more fancy in a way? The bottle just had a screw top lid on it which was easy enough to remove. The only other part to this was the handful of Wood Reeds.
So to use this all you do is unscrew the bottle and place the Reeds into the neck of the Bottle. The way this works is that the Oil soaks into the Wood and gives off the scent of this. When it is first opened you can smell the strong scent of the Cranberry, and although you can still smell this on a daily basis it just doesn't seem quite as strong. It is a nice scent. It is quite a sweet smell and just lovely.
As I said i've been using my other one for 9 months and it still has about a third left in it. The Oil evaporates away but say £15 for a year of scenting then I don't think it is all that bad.
A really nice scented Oil diffuser and i would recommend this for it's nice sweet scent.
The Body Shop Cranberry Joy Reed Diffuser
While wandering around The Body Shop before Christmas in search of nice stocking filler type gifts I came across this Cranberry Joy Reed Diffuser, which they had on display. What really caught my attention was the nice, sweet, seasonal smell that was wafting in my direction. I am a big fan of scented candles and other room fragrances, but I have only ever tried one maybe two reed diffusers in the past, but I did decide to treat myself to this one.
As I mentioned, one of the things that I like best and that really caught my attention about this reed diffuser was that the smell is pleasant but not too strong, it makes for a great background fragrance that doesn't ever get over powering. We have left ours in the hallway (or I move it into the living room) and it really scents the whole area but not strongly. I love walking downstairs in the morning and getting a nice fresh burst of the berry scent. In the past I have sometimes found that these reed diffusers can be a bit too strong for me, because I really do prefer a nice background scent rather than something that is more in the foreground.
The glass jar is made from recycled glass and comes with 10 think wooden sticks which sit inside the jar and the oil based scented mixture. They help to diffuse and release the fragrance of the diffuser. The whole thing looks rather nice when sat on the coffee table or bathroom shelf. I also really like that the body shop haven't stuck or attached any tacky looking labels or advertising onto the product. It is simple and elegant looking and like the fragrance it will sit well in the background without making too much of a statement.
When I bought mine these were retailing for £15 but if you bought one you got one half price, I also believe that they are now available online for £7 (thanks to the January sales) for as long as stocks last. I bought this to use and ended up liking it so much that I bought one for both my mother in law as well as my own mum. Although they are pricey, they do last for 8 weeks or approximately 2 months so you don't need to buy them often and personally I really like this so in my opinion I think it's pretty good value for money.
The body shop suggests that the essential oil will last for up to eight weeks, so far mine has been going strong for four and a bit weeks and there is still plenty left. Personally, I think that around about eight weeks will be pretty accurate.
This really does get a well earned five out of five stars it creates a lovely background scent to any room that you choose to leave it and display it in. I would happily recommend this reed diffuser to other people and I will be buying this or others from the body shop again in the near future.
I believe that this is a seasonal limited edition reed diffuser so if you want to try it, it would best to be quick before they run out of stock until next year.
Function: This reed diffuser steadily releases the aroma of fresh berries throughout the day.

content, apps and cloud based storage. Therefore, Amazon's goal is to get its tablets into the hands of as many people as possible. To that end, Amazon has cut the price of the largest of its tablets, the Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9. The Wi-Fi version of the tablet has been sliced by 10% to $269 from $299. Even better, the 4G LTE connected version of the tablet was cut in price by $100 to $399.
The online retailer is launching the Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Japan. Dave Limp, president of Amazon's Kindle business, said that with the increased production of the tablets coming from the overseas launch, the price of components for the devices has dropped and Amazon is able to pass the cost reduction on to its customers. In a statement, Limp said, "Whenever we are able to create cost efficiencies like this, we want to pass the savings along to our customers."

03. I have alpha channel can i convert that into Spotcolor?
04. How to convert my selection to spotcolor?
05. What is the best color for Spotcolor?

08. Can i paint my spot channel?
09. How to Merge spot channels?
10. What happen to layers if i merge the spot channel.
11. What happen if two spot color overlaps?
01. What is Spotcolor?
Spotcolor are special premixed inks used instead of, or in addition to the process color (CMYK) inks. Spotcolor generally goes in a single run in the commercial printer and you need extra plate apart from CMYK. Spotcolors are used to match the particular color (A company Logo or a stickers).
02. How do i create Spotcolors in photoshop?
Two ways you can create a Spotcolor in photohsop, go to your channels panel menu in channels panel and select 'New Spot Channel' or hold 'Ctrl' and click on the Create new channel in the bottom of the channel's panel.
03. I have alpha channel can i convert that into Spotcolor?
Yes you can, double click on the Alpha channel to bring up the 'Channel Options' dialogue box and in the color indicates settings select 'Spot Color'.
Or, select the alpha channel you want to convert and go to Channels Panel Menu and select 'Channel Options', which brings up the same dialogue box.
04. How to convert my selection to spotcolor?
Once the selection is active hold 'Ctrl' and click on the Create new channel at the bottom of the channel's panel to convert the selection into a spotcolor.
Or, with the selection active go to channels panel menu and select New Spot Channel.
05. What is the best color for Spotcolor?
You can select any color from the color picker, but if you select a cutom color by going to color library and selecting a color, your printer service provider can easily provide the proper color.
When you select a custom color and click OK, the custom color name displays on the 'Spot Channel Option' in the Name box.
06. What Solidity do?
Solidity will simulate on-screen density of the printed color, more like a opacity in the layer panel. A 100% is full color and 0 % is transperancy of the spot color. It only affects on-screen display preview and composite prints. They have no effect on the printed separations.
07. Is there any problem will happen if don't name the Spotcolor?
If you want other application to read your color then you need to name them properly otherwise the file does not print at all.
08. Can i paint my spot channel?
Yes, you can use any editing tool to paint on the spot channel. Black adds more color at 100% and white removes the color and painting with Gray with have lower opacity.
Opacity of your editing tool affects the original printed output and not just on-screen display.
09. How to Merge spot channels?
Select the spot color channel and go to channels panel menu and choose 'Merge Spot Channel', but remember merging spot channel will remove the spot channel and the spot color is added to your composite channel.
The merged channel might not give you precise output result, because CMYK cannot produce the range of spotcolor from the spot color ink.
10. What happen to layers if i merge the spot channel.
Your layers will be flatten out completely, when you choose merge spot channel, you will get a warning dialogue box saying 'Flattern Layer?'.
11. What happen if two spot color overlaps?
You can select the spot color which you want to print, Select > Load Selection. And you can select the underlying spot channel and press Delete.
If you want to create a trap when knocking out the underlying spot color, choose Modify > Expand or Contract depending on the overlapping spotcolor darker or lighter than the spot color beneath it.
If you have more than one spot color channel then repeat the same process for all the underlying spot channels.

02. What a Duotone can do?
03. What ink Duotone is used for?
04. Is Duotone is in RGB or CMYK mode?
05. How do i change my image to duotone? the Duotone is grayed out.
06. What are the boxes in the Duotone dialogue box?

09. How do i see the ink percentage of the final output?
10. What is Overprint?
11. What are the numbers in the overprint dialogue box?
12. How do i see individual channels of duotone, once iam done.
13. How to Print duotone?
14. How to export duotone to other applications.
01. What is Duotone?
Duotone refers as two ink, Grayscale images like monotone are printed with single non-black ink and to duotone, tritone and quadtones are grayscale image with more than one ink. Colored inks rather than different shades of gray are used to reproduce tinted ink.
Duotone option box has four ink options to select, based on the type you select (monotone, duotone, tritone and quodtones) you can specify the ink color on the color box.
02. What a Duotone can do?
Grayscale reproduction can display 256 levels of gray in your monitor, but on a printing press reproduce only 50 levels of gray per ink. By adding duotone or tritone or quadtone you can have more shades of gray, each individual ink can produce upto 50 level of gray.
03. What ink Duotone is used for?
Sometimes duotones are printed with black and gray ink. Black for shadow and gray for highlight and midtones. To increase dynamic range of the images, duotones are printed with color inks.
04. Is Duotone is in RGB or CMYK mode?
Duotones are 8 bit grayscale image and you do not have individual channel in the channel panel, like you have on RGB and CMYK and Lab. You have only one channel.
05. How do i change my image to Duotone? the Duotone is grayed out.
Before you choose the mode to duotone you must convert it to grayscale, this will flatten all the channels into one gray channel. After converting to gray scale, you can able to select the duotone mode. By going to Image > Mode > Duotone.
06. What are the boxes in the Duotone dialogue box?
Based on the type you select, the ink option box will activate. Montone with one ink, duotone with two ink, tritone with three ink and quadtone with four ink. To control the ink percentage you can use the curve option box before each and every color box.
07. What is Duotone curves?
Duotone curve will give you full control over a shadow and highlight on a image. The curve maps each grayscale value in a orginal image to a specific ink percentage.
Default straight line on the curve indicates the equal ink percentage. Shadow is on the right with 100% and highlight is on the left which is 0 value. The grids are defined as ink percentage, which you can able to add the value on the relevant box towards right or you can move the curve to automatically add the value in the box.
You can add upto 13 points on the curve, 13 boxes on the right. Moving the curve up will increase the percentage and moving it down will decrease the percentage.
08. How do i preserve the Settings on the curve?
You can save your curve values by clicking the 'Save' button on the right and you can even load the curve to apply the previously saved settings.
09. How do i see the ink percentage of the final output?
You can use the info panel to see the actual print output color by changing mode to 'Actual Color' in the info panel menu. The values will reflect any changes you made inside the duotone curve dialogue box.
10. What is Overprint?
Overprint are two unscreened ink printed on top of each other. Overprint will be based on the ink you specify on the ink color box
11. What are the numbers on the Overprint dialogue box?
Its the combination of ink mixture from Ink color you specify on the duotone dialogue box. By clicking on the color box in the overprint dialogue box you can able to adjust the color combination.
12. How do i see individual channels of Duotone?
Before you bring up the duotone dialogue box, we have discarded all the color information of the image and flatten the layers to single grayscale channel. The duotone colors are applied directly on the original image as a final result. But in some cases if you want to see the colors in different channel then you have to convert to Multichannel mode to separate the colors.
Image > Mode > Multichannel, the image is converted to multichannel mode and all the color are separated and represented as a spot color channel. The channel color information are based on the duotone color settings, but sometime these color information on channel might not be exactly as the duotone settings.
13. How to Print Duotone?
In duotone the order in which the inks are layed out and the screen angle of the printed plate have a significant effects on the final result. To produce a fully saturated color, keep the darkest ink on top and lightest ink at the bottom.
You do not need to convert the duotone to CMYK for separations. Before you print the image go to 'Print dialogue box' and on the Color Handling pop up select Separations.
14. How to export Duotone to other applications.
Before exporting your Duotone image to other page layout applications you need to save as EPS or PDF format, if your image contain spot channel then convert it to multichannel mode and save it as DCS (Desktop Color Separation) 2.0 format. Naming your channel with appropriate suffix is very important or else other application won't print the color correctly.

FOLLOWING the success of Team GB's Olympic training camp at the Wales National Velodrome, Newport is gearing up to welcome three Paralympic cycling teams to the city.
Australia, the USA and Team GB's Paralympians will fine tune their preparations for the Games, which get under way on August 29, by making the Velodrome at the International Sports Village their home for the next two-anda- bit weeks.
Australia kicked off yesterday with an open training session for the public, with further sessions planned for August 17 (9am-12pm) and August 23 (7-10pm).
No booking is required for the sessions, just turn up half an hour before the scheduled start time.
All three teams will be hoping the city has a similar affect it had on GB's all-conquering Olympic cycling team who picked up nine medals, including seven golds from a possible 10 available, after using Newport as their pre-games base.

Disintermediation is the Friend of a Good Website
|dis·in·ter·me·di·a·tion [dis-ˌin-tər-ˌmē-dē-ˈā-shən]
According to Wikipedia, disintermediation is the removal of intermediaries in a supply chain: "cutting out the middleman".
This morning I ascended the bully pulpit and gave our team a speech as to why our OneStop pages are an order of magnitude more popular than other pages we produce. (We produce pages for different sites/user communities including the public, partners, and sales people.)
As I've written about, prior, people like OneStop because the content is complete, accurate, up to date, and is in a consistent format. Easy enough, right? Not really. The question is, what ingredients are necessary, in the secret sauce, to produce this quality content?
The page(s) need to be owned by the content expert, or minimally some who is well versed in the content AND in the needs and expectations of the users. On OneStop we have the person's name, picture, and country flag on the page. The quality of the page is a direct reflection of the author.
Most of the sites our group works with are based on a structured update process. The content creator needs to submit a request with the update. It then goes through a couple of people for approval on correctness and completeness, and then goes to a web person for posting. This process can be time consuming, and often something is lost in translation. On OneStop the owner does the actual posting. The corollary to this rule is that it Needs to be Easy.
The owner needs to be a user
The best pages are the ones that the owner uses every day. This is the only was to get a gut feel for whether the page works. Are the items in the right order? Is it easy to find the highest priority items? Are there bad links? Is response time fast? Is the page always available? Many of the best pages on OneStop are authored by SEs. As SEs talk to customers every day, and use OneStop to look up information to support these customers, they can do an optimal job of creating a page that is useful for other SEs.
Needs to pass the what's in it for me test
|It can be a decent amount of work to maintain a popular OneStop page. Having an author's name and picture featured prominently on the page gives credit where credit is due. Note that in a intermediated site the content contributor is often invisible.
Working feedback loop
|I'm a glutton for feedback. [Particularly positive feedback. ] Bloggers are heavily reliant on comments and stats, often via google analytics. Internal content contributors often aren't so lucky. On OneStop we make a big effort to make as much data as possible easy available. I think of it as positive reinforcement.
Ask the users
On OneStop it is necessary to login, so we know who views, updates, and comments on a page.
In my experience, users love when you reach out to them. It shows you care and want to increase the quality and effectiveness of the page. There is always what I call a gem in the responses, a really good idea that you can readily implement.

Does anyone own the new xdm 45 compact 3.8?
If so how do you like it? What comes in the box with it? If youd be kind enough to put a pic up thatd be nice :D
A friend of mine has one. (Knowing what I know, preferring what I prefer...) If I was to own just one handgun, this would be very high on the list of candidates. It functions well as both a HD and medium-framed carry gun. It's an excellent gun that I may add at some point in the near future. I already have the 4.5" version of the 45acp. Handles well, plenty accurate, great ergos (for me), and an outstanding combination of quality trigger + safety (grip) design.
For $600-650 you get...
It's an excellent gun. You probably won't make use of all the "extras", but most of them are quite functional. For carry, I would buy an extra 9rd mag. That would have you carrying 19rds...9+1 in the gun, 9 in the extra mag. I generally figure if you find yourself in a situation where that ain't enough, you've probably made some really poor decisions and it's time for karma to step in kick you in the teeth.

Here is a pic of everything that comes with the XDm. I absolutely love it. One of the best guns I've ever owned. Conceals well with a IWB holster.

My xdm is in my top five favs
Attachment 55028
had one. shot good for a compact, but was extremely loud! as in very, very loud compared to my other pistols in 45. would be a good pistol for discreet carry for someone wanting a pistol in 45. all in all, not a bad pistol.
its my everyday carry. i simply love it.
rapid fire 15 yards
rapid fire 7 yards
aimed fire 15yards
did a small write up here. some of the pics got cropped. it was one of the first articles notdku put up. i submitted the wrong sized pics :(
My EDC as well. I love mine. Been throwing around the thought of an xds though.
Have one. I went to buy an M&P 45C. Shot the M&P and was ready to buy. My LGS couldn't find one. So, I held the XDM. Felt better, much higher quality (and price). There was not an XDM to shoot, but I had a good feeling about it. I took a chance and bought it. Took it home,cleaned and oiled then went to the range to shoot it. From the first shot. WOW! Low recoil, more accurate than me. I love it. So glad they couldn't find the M&P.

Initially slated for airing on Showtime, Stephen King's best-selling novel, "Under The Dome," will actually get its TV adaptation on Showtime's sister network – CBS. The Eye network jumped over the pilot screening process and ordered a full 13-episodes for the upcoming series.
This pick up allows CBS to boost their original programming in the summer. The upcoming summer season for the network will boast Big Brother three nights a week, the revival of previously (and wrongfully) cancelled Unforgettable and now Under The Dome. This might spur a trend to up the anty on summer programming with cable dominating the field, especially in the summer time.
Brian K Vaughan, writer of LOST, will pen the adaptation of the novel, which focuses on a small New England town where residents wake up one morning to find their community trapped underneath a dome. CBS President Nina Tassler said
"This is a great novel coming to the television screen with outstanding auspices and in-season production values to create a summer programming event. We're excited to transport audiences 'Under the Dome' and into the extraordinary world that Stephen King has imagined."
CBS is not calling this a "limited" or "mini" series, so one can wonder if the potential for further development is there should the show bring success CBS is looking for. Will you be watching? What are your thoughts on more original summer programming?

SOI movable integrated optical waveguide
|Eng, Terry T.H.
|Issue Date
|The main objective of my thesis is to explore a new approach to generating active optical switching effect on silicon-based materials. The approach to be taken is based on the mature silicon integrated circuit (IC) fabrication technology and the recently well-developed silicon micromachining technology. Silicon is an excellent material for making micro-devices because of the well-developed silicon integrated circuit fabrication technology as well as the superior thermal and mechanical properties. However, making active optical switches using silicon is very difficult because silicon does not have the linear electro-optic effect which is commonly used for generating active switching functions. Recently, a technology, called silicon micromachining, for making movable components on silicon substrates has been successfully developed. We therefore propose to make use of this new technology, together with the mature silicon IC technology, to fabricate movable integrated silicon optical waveguides for generating active optical switching functions on silicon. In the thesis, I will first review the basic concepts of standard fabrication technology. The fabrication process of SOI movable integrated optical waveguide which I developed is described. The motion of the waveguide can be actively controlled by voltage. These movable waveguides can be used in the application of optical switching. I will next describe the general operating characteristic of these movable waveguides, the static and dynamic responses of the device, and the realization of the electrical control. The variation of the optical power coupling with actuation voltage is also shown. SOI movable integrated optical waveguides have great potential on many applications. The optical switches and optical scanning probe with our waveguides are also shown in this thesis.

Growing your business with marketing, week 43: Odds & ends
Posted by Colleen Wainwright on
This is Week 43 of a 52-week project/experiment in DIY marketing. Armed with nothing but a copy of the 2009 Grow Your Business Marketing Plan + Calendar
and my bare wits, I'm applying the skills you need to grow a business
in real time, day by day, and reporting on them week by week. See the Project Companion Blog, A Virgo's Guide to Marketing, for in-depth posts, additional links and other marketing-related goodness.
It was one of those chugging-along weeks for me.
I managed to get a lot done, when I looked back at things, but the week didn't feel particularly special. I guess what happens when you make marketing a conscious part of your daily life is that it does feel more natural and less weird. I'll still get a weird twinge when I have to put out a specific marketing message—I definitely enjoy the ongoing/building/organic style of marketing best—but overall, it's starting to feel as normal as brushing my teeth twice daily, and sometimes, as fun as a lunch out or a Netflix treat between jobs!
Visit the Virgo Guide to see the list of what went down, how I'm starting to deal with travel networking a bit better, and a few other odds and ends.
