As the creative force behind a worldwide fashion empire, Gianni Versace's death leaves questions about succession at his company and the viability of a business that had sales of more than $800 million last year.
Retailers are concerned about the future of the house, which brought cash and cachet through their doors. Some fashion companies, like Gucci and Chanel, have been able to continue without their founding designer, but it has never been a smooth transition.
Dawn Mello, president of Bergdorf Goodman, who first met Mr. Versace 26 years ago, when he designed for the Italian label Callaghan and stumbled over his English, said it was too early to speculate whether the company could thrive without Mr. Versace. ''He has talented siblings in Santo and Donatella and it's a well-organized, cooperative company,'' she said.
The dynastic way in which the Versaces, who, it has been said, aspired to be like the Medicis, set up their business may insure its survival. Mr. Versace's climb to the highest scales of fashion -- in the movie ''Showgirl'' Elizabeth Berkley's character gets a lesson on the correct pronunciation of Versace (vayr-SAH-chay) -- was not done alone.
His older brother Santo, 52, is chairman of the company and his sister, Donatella, is vice president and creative director. It is Ms. Versace, 40, who is expected to seize the design reins of the house.Continue reading the main story
''I'll miss him as a designer and a visionary, but Donatella is very strong and Santo is a very good businessman,'' said Kal Ruttenstein, senior vice president and fashion director for Bloomingdale's.
Both Ms. Versace and her brother were on their way from Rome to Miami yesterday in a private jet, and could not be reached for comment.
In the last few years, the designerhad been handing over more responsibility to his sister, who designs the accessories and Versus, a less expensive Versace line. Last September, however, when Mr. Versace acknowledged that he had been ill with cancer, Ms. Versace said she would not work without him. Now, Ms. Versace, a riveting blond who embodied her brother's sexy designs, must reconsider.
Designers respected Mr. Versace for the energy and integrity of his work, which always bore the Versace stamp in an age when it had become difficult to separate fashion originals from fashion copies. Exceedingly complex, Mr. Versace was described by those close to him as sensitive, reserved, even quiet. But publicly he seemed to click perfectly with the image he had shaped for his house.
Copying was a sore subject. He lashed out in the press at Mr. Ruttenstein of Bloomingdale's, when he thought that Mr. Ruttenstein was having manufacturers copy Versace designs. He made critical remarks about Giorgio Armani in a long-running feud between the two titans of Italian design.
Yesterday, Mr. Armani put it all behind him as friends of Mr. Versace, who was 50, say he would have done, too. ''The news of Gianni Versace's death has left me in a state of shock,'' said Mr. Armani. ''Gianni was young and talented, and he worked so hard. He had overcome a very serious disease with strength and dignity. Gianni Versace, together with a handful of names symbolizes the success of Italian fashion all over the world.''
In the last two years, the Versace family had expressed an interest in going public and they were still believed to be working toward that goal. Mr. Versace's death could be a setback but it would not necessarily scuttle the idea. ''While it is a great loss,'' said Jeffrey M. Feiner, a retail analyst at Salomon Brothers Inc. in New York, ''there are some people who could argue that Versace has been in the process of building a great management team over the years with his sister, a new chief financial officer and his brother.''
He extended his signature to many products. ''He also had influence on home, on men's wear, on accessories, perfumes and make-up, that's coming out this fall,'' said Rose Mare Bravo, president of Saks Fifth Avenue.
The synchronization between sister and brother that fashion insiders hope will carry the company forward was displayed to best advantage in their work with celebrities. Some were business associates flown in to watch Mr. Versace's lavish shows in Milan.
Donatella Versace, a chain-smoking, earthy bon vivant, kept Mr. Versace linked to the celebrity circuit. ''The image of Versace was one thing,'' said the designer Marc Jacobs. ''At his home on Lake Como he was gentle and quiet, a man who listened to opera, not Bon Jovi. Donatella is very much the image of the company. He made strong, sexy clothes for strong sexy women. She was the girl he was designing for.''
Ms. Versace now may be designing for herself. ''He gave space to her as if he knew something strange was going to happen,'' said the Italian designer Gianfranco Ferre. ''It's a pity it had to happen in Miami. It was a house he loved.''Continue reading the main story

Stir-Fried Vegetables With Seasoned Croutons
Recipe by Alia55
Great stir fry with a bit of a crunch. Nice with chicken added too.
Top Review by queenofeats
This was an excellent way to test out my brand new wok! I was amazed by how simple this was, and how quickly everything came together. I added some chicken strips that I marinated in soy sauce, garlic and green curry paste for a couple of hours to complete the meal and it worked out very well - not that it needed the help to begin with! I can't wait to make use of my new toy yet again, for this recipe and many others!

The first ever Pagani Huayra that rolled off the the Pagani showroom is up for sale through the Seven Car Lounge luxury car dealership in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The car has only done 3,600 kilometers.
Painted in a rather striking shade of blue, Hyuara no 001 also features a white stripe running under the blue paint on each side of the car. The white and blue theme is carried over to the interior, which also feature Pagani's outlandish switch gear.
The Pagani Hyuara is powered by a 6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine from Mercedes' madcap AMG division which produces 720bhp and 1,000Nm of torque. All that power and torque is sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed sequential gearbox. 0 – 100km/h takes just 3.0 seconds and the top speed is north of 370km/h. The car also features active aerodynamics to ensure it sticks to the ground while doing crazy speeds.

You're driving down the road and suddenly, thwack!
A rock flies up and hits your windshield.
It's such a loud crack that you cringe, thinking the glass is going to spider-shatter at any moment. But no, it's a chip.
That's what happened to Robert Kidary in Colorado. He was driving a rental car when it occurred, and the rental car company expects him to pay for it.
"No matter where you drive, there are always little rocks or pebbles from passing trucks, the asphalt breaking apart, or shopping carts rolling into the car you're renting. Some things are unavoidable. My question is, why should a renter be held accountable for something that is unavoidable?"
Kidary argued about paying for the chip, and the rental car company dropped the claim.
Research online points to one conclusion: The consumer is responsible for damage to a car while they are renting it. And the charges may be higher than if you took it to be repaired at your local shop. The charges could include the following:
Windshield Replacement $150-$500 (sometimes more if the window has a special shape);
Loss of Use (Daily Charge assessed when the car won't make a profit for the time it is "out of service"); and an administrative fee (which may be at the discretion of the rental car company).
These types of incidents do occur in the normal course of events, and if you were driving your own car and the windshield chipped, you would expect to pay for it. It stands to reason that the same logic would apply to a rental car.
Although Kidary doesn't specify which rental car company he dealt with, Hertz's Rental Terms state, "When you rent a vehicle from Hertz, you are responsible for returning that vehicle to Hertz in the same condition it was in at the start of the rental, with the exception of fair wear and tear." Windshields are not included in "fair wear and tear," as they are specifically called out as items covered under their rental insurance.
There are a multitude of complaints (including on our forums) about people being unjustly charged for damages to their rental cars. These companies are concerned with their profit and loss, and do not want to absorb the charges, so they may employ whatever methods they can to get their customers to offset these costs; sometimes legitimately, sometimes not. And similar to what Kidary experienced, when customers challenge the charges or ask for proof, many times the rental car companies back off and drop the claim. However, others are worried about their credit being damaged or don't have the time to fight the claim, and it gets paid.
Kidary feels that rental car companies are nickel and diming their customers. Do you think these rental car companies should absorb damages like chips, dents, flat tires, etc.?

I have detected that every night there is an bruteforce attack on my open RDP port (3389). Attack comes from each night 1 other ip from all over the world (turkey, spain, brazil.......) And brute the login I have not, such as support, admin.....- i haven't such logins. I configure my firewall to allow connections on this port only from well-known ip addresses. But I want to know: it is the directionally attack on my server or virus activity on computers over the world. How I can do this?

Very unlikely that it is a focused brute force attack. 3389 is the RDP port, as you know, and everyone gets hit on that port constantly from all over the world. It is an unfocused brute force attack - meaning millions of random script kiddies attacking every IP that they can find all of the time. This should be expected.
Aug 2, 2010 at 11:48 UTC
Ok, thanks. But I have an 2 servers with this port have opened. First server- for admin needs, and the second server is for user login. And I never seen an brute-force attack on the first, and only recently activity had appeared on the second server. It seems to me strange and alarms :)

Switch to something like LogMeIn to keep from having to have ports open. Makes it much more secure.
Aug 3, 2010 at 1:47 UTC
What is LogmeIN?
Aug 3, 2010 at 2:08 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
LMI, as we call it, is a remote access service (we use the free version, nice features in the paid version too but try the free to see if it meets your needs) that does not require you to open your firewall in order to provide external access. It uses software on the local machines to "call out" rather than having them act as servers waiting for others to "call in" making it more secure AND more reliable and easier to use in many situations.
We use it extensively and are thrilled with the service. Give it a try, it's free.
Aug 3, 2010 at 4:36 UTC
Thanks, I will try it

Cities Begin Taking Action on Environment
By PHILIP SHABECOFF; Special to The New York Times
Published: September 11, 1990
UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 7— With a loan from the Interamerican Development Bank, Mayor Camacho reported, Mexico will be able to reduce its foreign debt by $150 million and use the money to plant trees on some 150,000 acres of now barren Federal lands around the city.
In an interview, Mayor Camacho said that not only would the project protect water quality, guard against soil erosion and provide recreation areas around Mexico City, the use of carbon dioxide by the trees would also help reduce the threat of global warming.
Carbon dioxide and other industrial gasses accumulating in the atmosphere are absorbing radiation from the sun and will cause the Earth's surface to warm by three to eight degrees Fahrenheit by the middle of the next century, many scientists now agree.
Mayor Art Eggleton of Toronto described the measures his city was taking to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 20 percent by the year 2005. Its plan calls for expanding mass transportation, creating bicycle lanes for commuting, requiring more efficient lighting and new standards for energy conservation in houses, planting trees on a large scale and a variety of other measures. Toronto is believed to be the first large city in the world to initiate its own program for addressing the global warming threat.
Dr. James Hansen, the director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goddard Institute for Science, a pioneer in preparing projections of global warming and in calling the dangers to the attention of the public and policy makers, presented computer predictions of the effect of global warming on some cities around the world. In the past, such models had been available only for a sample of cities in the United States.
When carbon dioxide or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases reached a level double that of the pre-industrial era, Dr. Hansen projected greatly extended periods of very high temperatures. For example, Rio de Janeiro, which now averages five days a year of temperatures over 95 degrees Fahrenheit, would have 52 days a year of such high temperatures; Singapore would go from zero days over 95 to 124; Rome from six to 55, and Tokyo from five to 41.
Dr. Hansen emphasized that those projections were based on current trends but could be altered by lowering emissions of greenhouse gases.
The meeting was sponsored by the United Nations Environmental Program, the International Union of Local Authorities and the Center for Innovative Diplomacy.

It might seem strange that we'd have to go North (away from the ocean) to have our family experience their first Crawfish Boil, but that is exactly what happened while we were visiting Denver. My brother, Jon, and his wife, Sam, hosted a crawfish boil for the family in their beautiful backyard. It was a messy blast!
The crawfish were flown in that morning from Lousianna
My brother, Aaron, separated the alive looking ones from those that looked a little motion sick–or worse.
This is the point where I stopped taking pictures and handed the camera to Maddie. I was engaged in a highly competitive fuse ball challenge. I think I had just scored a point–or maybe I had knocked it into the goal I was trying to defend.
Our competition was fierce. And one member of the opposing team had to stand on a chair to play.
Delicious things were added to the pot of boiling water: artichokes, onions, lemons, potatoes, corn, whole garlic with just the tops cut off.
After that the crawfish, sausage and shrimp were added.
Sam, the hostess, gave us each bibs. The kids thought this was really funny.
When this mixture was cooked, the whole delicious mess was spread on to two table tops and we gathered 'round and started eating. . .and cracking open. . .and sucking out.
Phew! It was good, but a lot of work.
Not only is he an excellent host, I keep telling Jon that he should start a blog because he is one of the most talented "upcyclers" and house renovators I have ever met. His house is filled with Craigslist and "oh-I-found-that-in-the-alley" finds that he has transformed into beautiful pieces for his house. I snapped a quick photo of the herb pot plaque that he made. Totally cool!

From Argentina to Italy, the intense, metaphysical and poetic story of a gardener in love, by Italy's most prominent writer.
"A man's life lasts as long as three horses. You have already buried the first."
Somewhere along the coastline of Italy, a man passes his days in solitude and silence, tending a garden and reading books of travel and adventure. Through these simple routines he seeks to quiet the painful memories of the past: a life on the run from Argentina's Dirty War; a young bride 'disappeared' by the military; a terrifying escape through the wilds of Patagonia.
Yet everywhere he turns, new life is pulsing, ready to awaken his senses, like the force that drives his fruit trees into bloom. People and events from the past and present migrate into patterns assigned by a metaphysical geometry. A woman of the world re-introduces him to love. An African day laborer teaches him the meaning of gratitude.
In this intense narrative, every acute observation, every nuance, becomes a means of salvation. Using a language that is both gripping and contemplative, Three Horses is an unforgettable tale.
Praise for The Sea of Memory :
"Poetic . . . charged with anger and desire."-
The New York Times Book Review
"Alluring . . . shimmeringly lyrical."

The Student Support Team (SST) consists of counselors, learning specialists and administrators who meets weekly to review the cases of students who are experiencing academic, social or emotional difficulties at school. The task of this group is to discuss ways to help individual students find solutions to these challenges. Members of the Student Support Services team serve as advocates for students in the school environment and assist them in gaining self-knowledge to become productive, self-confident individuals.
Students work closely with counselors to choose courses, set goals and build complete, individually-tailored programs incorporating academic and co-curricular activities.
JIS students are expected to enroll in regular classes and meet requirements with a minimum of special assistance. However, we also have a Learning Support Program to provide academic support for those students experiencing learning difficulties.
Learning Support Specialists collaborate, as necessary, with counselors, students, faculty and families to provide the following services:

Anitta, son of Pithana, was a king of Kussara, a city that has yet to be identified. He is the earliest known ruler to compose a text in the Hittite language.
His high official, or rabi simmiltim, was named Peruwa.
Anitta reigned in the seventeenth century BC (short chronology) and is the author of the Anitta text (CTH 1.A, edited in StBoT 18, 1974), the oldest known text in the Hittite language (and the oldest known Indo-European text altogether). This text seems to represent a cuneiform record of Anitta's inscriptions at Kanesh, perhaps compiled by Hattusili I, one of the earliest Hittite kings of Hattusa.
The Anitta text indicates that Anitta's father conquered Neša (Kanesh, Kültepe), which became an important city within the kingdom of Kussara. During his own reign, Anitta defeated Huzziya, the last recorded king of Zalpuwa, and the Hattic king Piyusti and then conquered his capital at the site of the future Hittite capital of Hattusa. He then destroyed the city, sowed cress over it, and laid a curse on the site.
Anitta's name appears on an inscription on a dagger found in Kültepe and also, together with the name of his father, on various Kültepe texts, as well as in later Hittite tradition.

"If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then the lips are the messengers to the heart." Christine was one of our panelists at 'She Owns It' Conference in 2015. This driven mother of one, who is also the former vice-president and general manager of Procter & Gamble, has started a new business. Like her cheerful personality, ColorMeHappy Cosmetics is an online business that focusses on bringing beauty to your doorstep. The first (and possibly, only) lip subscription service in Singapore, Christine shares her start-up story with us
Your Business Name: ColorMeHappy Cosmetics
Your website: www.colormehappycosmetics.com
What prompted you to start your own little biz?
I had been in the corporate world for many years (25 years at one of the world's largest multinational FMCG corporation), and have been lucky enough to have led organizations across Asia-Pacific businesses, as the first woman Vice-President from Southeast Asia for the company. Now that I have 'ticked the corporate box', I am interested to try my hand at entrepreneurship.
Tell us about your business.
ColorMeHappy Cosmetics is focused on bringing Korean cosmetics into Singapore. We are initially focusing on lip products, which is the largest segment within the color cosmetics category in the region. The business is primarily a lip product subscription service, where we provide our subscribers with a box of lip products every month — from lipsticks, shimmers, bronzers, lip masks, repair oils and the like. Our subscribers get one, or two, or three products each month depending on their chosen package. (We recommend the Perfect Bliss package to get 3 products a month — and as the name implies 'for absolute perfect bliss'.)
Each package comes as a delightful surprise, wrapped in our little pink box of happy and delivered straight to their doorsteps. We also have select products sold individually, through our website, and in e-commerce sites such as Lazada.
What was the inspiration behind your business?
The business is inspired by the idea that cosmetics, and particularly lip color cosmetics, have the power to brighten up a woman's day (and a woman's life). As women, we love standing in the middle of the cosmetics aisle, browsing through the many offerings, and wondering which one to get… and don't we wish we could get them all. Hence, with a ColorMeHappy subscription, our women get the power to 'have them all', in a fun 'little box of happy' that comes delivered to them every month. It's the little treat that we all deserve to get. There is such an element of delight as you open that little box to see what is inside for the month! The overall look and our name is inspired by having fun and being happy. Hence, the name 'ColorMeHappy'.
What is the thing about your biz that makes it stand out from the competition?
We are the first lip care subscription service in Singapore with Korean lipsticks! That's a really big wow, hopefully.
We have researched deeply into the Korean market landscape to only bring in the best. We are particularly proud of our hero products — our two main lines of lipsticks: Boldlicious HD and XPrecision Lips.
Boldlicious HD is our limited edition line of Korean high-definition lipsticks — with highly pigmented colors in bright and bold shades. It is designed to give you maximum color impact in one swipe! This is wonderful for those times a woman wants to make a bold statement with how she looks.
XPrecision Lips is our line of Korean lipsticks with our Light-Diffuse technology. It has been specially formulated to give the just right level of shine to hide our little lip imperfections. So all you see is the color and the shine.
Another one of our favorites is our Lip Night Repair Oil. It's an oil based product that you rub on your lips before you sleep. It works to smoothen and soften your lips through the night, to give you a nice smooth feel in the morning. It's like lip therapy while you sleep!
As a product-based business, what has been the most challenging part of running this business?
The most challenging part was ensuring that we had the right range of products for the different segments of consumers. There is a large need for variety to meet different skin tones, moods, fashion and tastes. We think we now have a great lineup. But at the same time, we plan to keep adding and launching new lines periodically to keep the spirit of fun and delight for all our subscribers.
What aspect of building your little biz do you like working on the most?
Definitely doing our market research in Korea. Korea is such a beautiful place! And beyond that, the culture is so fashion-forward and beauty-oriented that there is always something new to inspire us!
How do you balance running your business and being a mother?
Well, before this entrepreneurial venture, I was already balancing a fast-paced corporate leadership role together with motherhood and I had learned to enjoy it. Transitioning to running a business (instead of a corporate role) together with motherhood has turned out to also be equally enjoyable. The trick I have learned from other women mentors is to always have time blocked off as pure family time, where nothing (work, business, other priorities) is allowed to intervene. Whenever I am able to do this, it usually works.
What advice do you have for other mums who are thinking of or trying to build their own little biz from home?
First of all, don't limit yourself to thinking of it as a 'little business'. Your business can be as big, or as small as you want. Then, find an area where you have personal passion. Entrepreneurship requires a lot of energy, which only true passion can fuel. And then, beyond that, think strategically of the market need, vis a vis the uniqueness of the product or service you plan to offer to meet that need.
Are there any upcoming events/ promotions/ activities that your business will be running in the next 6 months?
Our Christmas collection gift boxes are now available! These are our special Korean Boldlicious HD and XPrecision lipsticks and lip shimmers and bronzers, specially chosen for Christmas. It comes in pre-giftwrapped boxes, and is delivered straight to you. (No need to fight against traffic and hunt for that parking space in crowded Orchard road!). It's the loveliest (and easiest) thing to give all your sisters, cousins, office friends, girlfriends, teachers of your kids (if you want to get your kid on teacher's good side). Who wouldn't love you for giving a box of Korean lip perfection!
What's your Mumpreneur Mantra?
You will never know until you try
The Christmas collection gift boxes of our Korean lipsticks are available at a special discounted price through our website – www.colormehappycosmetics.com. Or, you can email us at email@example.com. It's on limited supply so, hurry!

Plumbing Plus is your neighborhood plumbing company that has your best interest in mind when it comes to water line repair. We know that when issues arise that threaten the stability of your home you need a company you can rely on to work smart and fast. Plumbing issues can be costly, time consuming, and destructive which is why you need a company you can trust. Plumbing Plus has been helping the residents of the San Diego community fix their plumbing disasters for decades. Our friendly, well-trained technicians are industry experts that will treat your home as if it were their own.
The home water line is a vital part of one's home that connects public water lines to those in the home to provide water for the necessary components we use every day. Unfortunately, San Diego has a long history of water main leakage and breakage, so there is often the need for water line repair. Some of the water mains have been in service for more than 60 years, and their old age is a significant contributing factor to water line leaks. Moreover, these aging pipes compromise the quality of drinking water, so their replacement is among the top priorities of San Diego government.
- No additional plumbing work needed
- Long term protection of the whole plumbing system
- Improved quality of drinking water
Quick Links:
Moreover, the chemistry of the water in San Diego contributes to the ''pinhole leak'' problem associated with copper pipes. Water with a PH value below 6.5 affects copper pipes because it is acidic enough. It is not uncommon that a copper line pitting corrosion affects an entire community in San Diego, so San Diego residents should have their water tested if they notice blue-green stains around the water joints.
Water line leaks are a serious problem that can cause severe damage to your home if they go unnoticed. Water line leaks may start off small but if left unattended, a busted water line can even flood your home with mud and cause streets to crumble. Due to the potential severity of a water line leak, it is important to always call in a professional to handle the problem.
How do you know if you have a water line leak?
Some tell-tale signs you may have a water line issue are increased water usage on your water bill, collections of water or large puddles in your yard, or soaked carpets and flooring.
What causes a water line leak?
Water line leaks are generally caused by three things: old pipes bursting, digging deep in the yard which leads to breaking a pipe, or the aforementioned quality and chemistry of the water.
How do I prevent a water line leak?
By getting your water line checked regularly at least once a year and before moving into a home to make sure the pipes aren't old or in need of any minor or major repairs. If you find that you do have a water line leak, make sure to immediately call in a professional to prevent further damage to your home and the surrounding property. If you have a copper pipe water line, you should have your water tested to check its acidity which might lead to copper pipe corrosion and leakage.
Plumbing Plus offers 24/7 emergency services to meet your plumbing emergency needs so that when disaster strikes, such as a water main leak, you can have the best in the business working to fix it. In addition to being on hand to help you morning, noon, or night, Plumbing Plus knows that you are not always prepared for an expensive repair, water line repairs are very costly and not only include the cost of the water line but landscaping and sometimes flooring repairs, which is why we do our best to work with your budget by informing you of the cost of front and offering coupons on our website. No matter your plumbing problem, Plumbing Plus has you covered.

Anti-lock brakes were designed to help you control your car during adverse driving conditions. The ABS system keeps the wheels of your vehicle from locking up, preventing skids when the road is wet or icy. Prior to anti-lock brakes, a driver would have to pump the brakes manually to prevent this phenomenon. Anti-lock brakes sense when your vehicle is in a skid condition and pulse the brakes hundreds of times per minute, which is much quicker than any driver could react. Although ABS brakes also reduce the stopping distance of your vehicle, this is not the main purpose of having ABS brakes. Get more information about anti-lock brakes at Meineke #1113 in Horseheads, NY.
Braking sharply is risky but at times necessary in order to avoid a road hazard. One of the major risks of braking is losing control of your car, which could lead to a major accident. The anti-lock system monitors rotational speed and performs a sophisticated algorithm of releasing and pumping the brakes that prevents wheels from locking up and lets the driver retain control. A malfunctioning ABS is particularly risky when driving on a slippery or icy surface, in bad weather or on loose material such as gravel. For best performance, be sure to get a regular ABS brake service check at Meineke #1113 in Horseheads, NY.
Your ABS is a crucial safety feature. Fortunately, there are several warning signs that will allow you to get it repaired before it fails. Many cars today have an ABS warning light. If yours comes on, take your car to a mechanic and have it checked right away. Other red flags for impaired anti lock function include brakes locking up at odd times, brake pedals that do not respond to pressure and a greater amount of pressure being needed to brake. If you notice any of these, it is time for an immediate check-up. Stop at Meineke #1113 in Horseheads, NY to learn about ABS system cost for repair or replacement.
Even if your anti-lock brakes fail, your car is probably still drivable. The ABS brakes will switch off if the components fail, but the regular brakes on your car still work. This can still be a problem if you get into a panic situation where you expect your brakes to pump themselves to get you out of a skid. Don't put off repairs to the anti-lock brakes, even if you're not expecting icy or snowy weather. The ABS system also keeps your auto from hydroplaning in wet driving conditions. Maintain your brakes with silicone brake fluid or mineral brake fluid by coming to the professionals at Meineke #1113 in Horseheads, NY.
Maintaining your anti-lock brakes often prevents costlier repairs, but most car parts do need to be replaced at some point. When it's time to upgrade to newer parts, bring your vehicle to Meineke #1113 at Horseheads, NY for service by professional technicians. Over time the technology for ABS brakes has changed, making them more efficient and giving you greater control over your vehicle in adverse driving conditions. We have all the information you need about your anti-lock brakes, service, repairs and brake fluid cost. Let our technicians help you stay safe on the road, no matter what Mother Nature sends.
Anti-lock brakes need professional service and repairs to maintain the components that must work together efficiently. We have mineral brake fluid and silicone brake fluid to keep your system operating in peak condition. Before you come down to Meineke #1113 at Horseheads, NY, stop by the coupon section of our website for great deals designed to help you save money on car repairs. We can also install new anti-lock brakes on older cars to keep you safe under any type of driving conditions. ABS technology is a great addition to any vehicle because it is proven to be effective in reducing accidents on the road.

Guide dog trainer Lenae McIntyre left the high-speed world of television news writing behind, and now she helps other visually impaired people adjust to life with their canine companions. She teaches her students and their dogs to trust each other, but a past betrayal and the determination to be self-sufficient and independent keep her from trusting her heart to see love.
Cara Bradley compensates for her family's shallow celebrity lifestyle by devoting her life to helping others, while keeping to the background. She reluctantly commits to a year of puppy walking a four-legged whirlwind named Pickwick so she can film regular segments for a local news program while helping promote the McIntyre Training Center, but she is unprepared for the changes that the driven and aloof Lenae will bring to her life. Blindsided by love, can Lenae and Cara learn to trust and guide each other toward a new vision for their future?

"My first audio book experience."
This is a lesbian romance that I enjoyed as a book so I decided to experience it as an audio book. The story is superb. The narrator was easy to listen to with good pronunciation and pacing. I'm hooked on audio books, this Author and Narrator and can't wait to listen to more works by them.
A lover of the English language and an audiobook addict.
Karis does a brilliant job of putting this different perspective forward. What i love is that it is not your stock standard romance in a cookie cutter format and keeps to a more realistic life situation. Its not action packed like a Radclyffe novel but i found the story intriguing and certainly making you think on differing lives and how disabilities can make someone stronger not weaker. And it has puppies... what else do you need!
Narrator is excellent and really can create a setting beautifully with the right tone and voices.
I really enjoyed this and its worth a credit!
"Blindsided is Awesome!"
Yes, it's a charming love story that deals a lot in trust issues.
Since I am handicapped you would think I would relate more with the blind girl but it's the report that I liked best, she had such a hard time expressing her true emotions or understanding them until it was pointed out to her.
Nope, but she is AWESOME
I just loved it.
Really good book needs to be heard.
Betsy's performance was never distracting or grating with any of the characters.
I didn't listen to this book in one sitting, but I looked forward to when I would get a chance to continue.
"Good little book"
Nice story, all books must end if not going on to a sequel and I wished it didn't end. Going well until the last 2-3 chapters and the story line seemed to just Peter out quickly. Could have done more exploring of the relationship and what was to happen to the dog handling.where was that story line to go.. Would have been great had the writer delve into who would get Pickwick and where would he spend his life as a guide dog. On the other hand --the book was the relationship between the women so it seemed to end abruptly-- but that's the way books usually finish. Very nice read though and I would recommend it!
"Moving story of learning to trust and love."
The narration was moving. I loved the characters and how they both dealt with their own pasts. The journey they both took together to understand themselves and each other is something I know I will enjoy again and again.
"informative and enjoyable"
I started out not thinking much about the everyday challenges of the blind. I'd like to think that's not because I'm callous, but I had never put much time into it. I didn't know that "puppy walking" is a real thing. This book gently taught me quite a bit. What I didn't like was that the language was simple and many of the sentences short and repetitive.
I'd never heard a narration by Betsy Zajko before. Her narration added depth to the story.
Slow to middle and lack luster to end. Never really grabbed me just a kind of boring listen.
great book. would recommend it to everyone! worth every minute of my day reading! 5 stars
"Sweet story!!"
Really sweet story. LOVED the narrator. I felt like the heat could have been turned up a bit, but over all it was a great read.
"Steadily seductive storyline"
I bought this having read the ebook which I thoroughly enjoyed. I wanted to know how to pronounce the characters names.
I enjoyed the characters inner life even when I wanted to bang there heads together.
As much as there was depth around the puppy training aspect I found the love aspect did not grip me or make me feel that these characters had any depth to their relationship.

Oprah Sister
January 25, 2011 by USA Post
Oprah Sister, (AP) – Oprah Winfrey has learned she has a half-sister she did not know. Winfrey announced on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" that aired Monday, a woman from Milwaukee, Patricia discovered that the two were half-sisters.
The woman said she had searched for years for the identity of the mother who gave her the adoption in 1963. She says she learned in 2007 that Winfrey is her half-sister. On her program, Winfrey said she learned about Patricia last November.
Winfrey said she was 9 years old and living with her father when her mother was the daughter and gave her up for adoption. She said she did not even know that her mother was pregnant.
Oprah Winfrey has a half-sister and did not know until a few months ago, while Roger Ebert has a new prosthesis to slip after suffering a grueling battle with jaw cancer. Now the two celebrities share the life changing events with the world whose curiosity is insatiable sometimes.
First there is Oprah Winfrey is used to millions with her surprising and candid interviews to discover the truth behind the facades stronger. Oprah was at the receiving end of a surprise when in October 2010, she learned she has a half-sister.
Patricia was born in 1963 in Oprah Winfrey's mother, Vernita Lee, and was given up for adoption. Oprah's half-sister endured a difficult life to have lived in several foster homes until age 7, but even after adoption, the unmarried mother of Milwaukee said that her childhood was difficult. "
Roger diseases and the fight against cancer that began at the age of 64 years has been well documented and it has been devastating for millions to see the film critic suffer the loss of the lower half of her face.
However, over the past two years during a long and arduous process, Ebert has a new unit and will carry him on her new show.
Ebert has talked with people saying: "I'll wear the prosthesis on the new television -. This does not fool anyone, because my appearance is well known, it will be a reminder of the nice person I was for 64 years "

Android phones have taken over the world of smartphones. Only a small percentage of smartphones are different; namely, the iOS device and the Windows device are those which seek to be different although not too great an extent. Now, to keep your phone functioning properly and more importantly, smoothly it has to have regular monitoring and tune-ups so that junk files and cache are cleared, background processes are killed and unnecessary apps deleted. An inability to undertake this operation may result in the phone slowing down and crashing. Do not worry though as there are apps that will help you resolve these problems but there are millions of them which may confuse you as to which one is the most appropriate one for you and your Android device.
Top 5 Speed Boosters for Android:
- Clean Master– It is the king of all the cleaning apps available right now on the Google Play Store. It is an all-in-one app that consists of cleaning tools, maintenance tools as well as optimizers. Like all cleaning apps, it kills background processes, clears cache, removes junk and optimizes performance. It also delivers notifications on your phone if device memory is low or the RAM needs a boost. It has a blue and white interface which is pleasant to look at and appears with a broom icon at the top left corner of the screen. It also has a broom animation for boosting RAM which zooms from the bottom towards the top of the phone screen. It takes up about 15-20 MB depending on the device.
- Advanced Task Manager- This app comes second on the list and is as good as the Clean Master. It performs all the functions that a cleaner is supposed to do. It kills useless processes, clears cache and junk and optimizes. It has some special features like force stop option which forces an app to close and the startup kill which prevents software from launching automatically after the phone switches on. It also has a feature which kills all processes as soon as the screen goes dark. It has a black background. It takes up about 4 MB space varying for different devices.
- Cleaning Master– This app is new on the block and is already creating waves mainly due to the paltry 2 MB it consumes but the same amount of work it accomplishes like all the others. It features a green background. It comes with a Network Booster along with the usual services. Another USP of this app is that it is compatible with all devices with Android version 2.3 or above.
- Booster for Android- This app is also known as the Android Booster app and has been developed by renown tech giant NQ Mobile Security. It is very easy on the memory but not as easy as Cleaning Master. It takes about 4 MB space. It is, however, similar to Cleaning Master as it supports devices having Android version 2.3 or above. It also has a very useful antivirus and the UI is very simple and efficient.
- App Cache Cleaner- This app is the last on the list but in no way is it inferior to the others. Needless to say, this Android companion will help keep your phone up and running smoothly. It has one feature that is very useful. On tapping and holding any app icon a pop-up list appears through which you can share the app with your friends, see it on the Google Play Store directly, uninstall applications with cached files and show application details page. It now has lesser ads and features an introduction screen for new users. it takes up 3 MB space and requires Android 4.0 or above.

Lazy Goblin Popcorn Balls
Recipe by Debbb
This recipe is much easier & quicker to make than the traditional version. The marshmallows not only give the popcorn balls a different flavour but make them chewy, too. I call them "goblin" popcorn balls because I did them up for the Trick or Treaters this year - wrapped them in green plastic wrap & tied with gold ribbon.
Top Review by Connie Lea
Yummy and so easy to make. I didn't use the M & M's as I didn't have any, but would be good with them, I'm sure. I melted the butter, brown sugar and marshmallows (used large) in the microwave. It only took a few minutes. I stirred every 30 seconds.

We all thought Google+ was dead; Google+ is not, it turns out, dead. The search firm's on-again-off-again obsession with building a successful social network is on, again.
Key to the new design are two aspects of Google+ that are popular among those people: communities, which let the site's users group together around shared interests, and collections, which allows individual users to group their posts together by topic. Those features are "front and centre" in the new design.

Remote Desktop Connection as its name suggests deals with the remote accessing of another computer by the user. Don't be surprised if you see a person accessing another computer that is present in another area with a mouse and keyboard of the computer the user is currently using! That's the technology of today.
One of the most popular remote desktop tools available in the market is none other than the Chrome Remote Desktop extension. The procedure is so simple in which the two computers are connected to each other by means of just a browser!
The reality is that even Microsoft comes with a Remote Desktop Connection in Windows. Even though they offer a Mac version of the software, the disadvantage is that you cannot connect the windows PC to Mac. Instead you can connect the Mac to your windows PC.
Even though the use of a virtual network computing can solve the problem, it's granted that users will prefer a tool that can run on any computers. And it is for sure that we all want a tool that can eliminate the need for prolonged settings configurations as well as downloading time. And of course, Chrome Remote Desktop is the perfect solution!
The connection has to be set up by following the corresponding steps.
Ensure that Google Chrome is installed in both Mac as well as personal computer.
Visit chrome web store.
Download Chrome Remote Desktop extension.
Install Chrome Remote Desktop in both the computers.
Initially launch the Chrome on Mac.
At the top, you can see a '+' button. Click it.
Identify the extension for Chrome Remote Desktop.
A message for authorization will be displayed.
Press the Continue Button.
Users will be navigated to a page that will ask for the required permissions.
Click Allow Access button.
This will lead you to a 'Share This Computer' button. Click it.
Note down the Access Code that you receive.
Now the users will have to turn towards their personal computer.
The following steps have to be followed.
Chrome Remote Desktop has to be launched on your personal computer.
Click the tab button.
And then Press the Chrome Remote Desktop icon.
Users will have to grant permission to run.
Click the link to access a shared computer that is present in the Chrome Remote Desktop connect screen.
Now the users will have to enter the access code that was generated in Mac.
The Mac icon will be displayed in the Chrome browser on your personal computer.
Now the users can control any functioning in the Mac computer, the only thing the users will have to take note of is that users can minimize the chrome in Mac. But should not close it which will result in disconnection.
Once the accessing is finished, users can click Disconnect.
This is how the users can connect the Mac Machine remotely using the Chrome remote Desktop extension. The process is quite simpler and easier that makes it very user friendly tool.

XID: Live Web Demo 2/2/08 1:00pm MST
You are cordially invited to watch and participate in a LIVE web demo of XID at http://ustream.tv/channel/brianshaler, starting at (about) 1:00pm MST/Arizona Saturday 2/2/2008.
Update: For time conversion and the current MST time, check out timeanddate.com
What is XID?
The XID project is intended to provide a free, open, and decentralized method of sharing your online presence with your friends.
The most important thing about social networks is being connected with your friends. By storing and filtering your friends' XID information, you will easily be able to see which of your friends already have accounts on any given social network. No email address book importing. No searching for each of your friends' names. You don't need to rely on the web site's friend-finding mechanisms if you have XID.
What will be Demo'd?
XID is a platform, and when the platform is launched, so will a set of complementary applications. The applications involved are not yet complete. I will be showing and explaining what has been completed so far. Currently, there is an optional web application that is intended to allow new users to quickly and easily set up an XID card without looking at any code. There is also a Firefox extension that allows users to import and manage their friends' XID cards.
Web Application
The web application consists of these key features:
- Registration/Login: Create a card and come back to edit it
- 3-step process of creating an XID card: Save basic personal information (Name, Location, etc), contact information, and profile URLs (all optional)
- Profile URLs: People who use the same screen name on multiple sites can add them to their XID card with one click
- Public URL for XID card: Give this URL to their friends
Those features have been at least partially implemented and they can be previewed right now. There will be more features in the near future.
Firefox Extension
The Firefox sidebar extension consists of these key features:
- Add: Paste a friend's URL and the extension will retrieve the friend's XID card and add it to a local/client-side database
- Friends List: Display all friends and show how many social networks they are on
- Networks List: Display all networks friends are on, in order of popularity
- Friend Detail View: Display all social networks a specific friend is on and provide links to the user's profiles
- Network Detail View: Display all friends on a given social network
- Recent Activity: Shows if friends have added or removed any social networks
Again, those are features that are at least partially implemented and there will be more to come.
NOT Just a Tour
There is no scheduled end time for this Live web demo. After an initial tour is complete, I will discuss current and future features with anyone in the UStream chat room (UStream account NOT required to participate!). I will also work on writing code to implement features while discussing them. Live.
At the expense of a little productivity, I will attempt to multi-task.
BarCampPhoenix – December 8, 2007
BarCampPhoenix is tomorrow, so I figured I would help spread the word in any way I could.
I am currently developing something that would be great to present and talk about at BarCamp. It is not near completion, but I will be working late into the night tonight to try to get it to a 'proof of concept' condition that I can demo.
Some hints:
– Related to contact management
– Decentralized, peer-to-peer foundation, aided by an optional web service
– Designed to be developer-friendly to spur the development of tools/gadgets
– Currently developing a Firefox extension that utilizes a client-side database (pretty awesome)
– Intended to impact the way people use & find social networks
– Intended to help people stay in touch, stay organized, and stay up-to-date
Hopefully this sounds interesting to you. If so, come to BarCampPhoenix and be one of the first to learn about this exciting project!

Phoenix Mayor Gordon Won't Support Latest Budget Bill; Governor Brewer "Disappointed" in Some State Senators
Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon says he can't support the legislature's current budget proposal, despite Governor Jan Brewer's urging to do so. In a news release sent out this evening by the city (see text below), Gordon says changes to property tax collection rates will lower the amount of bond money Phoenix could obtain by $160 million. That will mean fewer new public safety buildings, libraries, senior centers and other infrastructure needs, he says. The new budget takes away about $18 million in city funds that go toward public safety, and a moratorium on building code changes will have the negative effect of blocking "green" building programs and making it tougher for small businesses to re-use existing buildings, the mayor says. Gordon advocates bringing both Democrats and Republicans into the budget-making process, which is "what cities do." We're not sure how he figures that will help, though -- don't the Dems just want to add to the spending side? Either way, it seems that, in looking for support, Brewer called the wrong mayor. Yet Brewer indicates she's also looking for a bi-partisan solution. In her own e-mailed statement this evening, Brewer says renewed efforts to craft a workable budget are now underway (um, yeah, but they've been underway for weeks without any progress). The Republican governor praises her fellow party members, but she also says she's "disappointed" with some state senators, apparently referring to three Republicans who voted to shoot down her idea for a sales-tax hike.
Text of Gordon's statement follows:
Statement of Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon Following his Meeting with Governor Jan Brewer August 12, 2009
I appreciate the commitment that Governor Brewer has made to protect public safety and other important local services that are provided by cities and towns throughout the state. The Governor and members of the House and Senate have worked on the budget for seven months. While I appreciate their efforts, we have seen neither a budget nor a budget proposal that will not significantly harm the City of Phoenix and its residents.

Last night the Governor called and asked me to meet to solicit my active support for the budget package now under consideration by the State Senate. Unfortunately, that package is not the same as the budget plan the Phoenix City Council and I were willing to support several months ago.
Changes to the package over the last several months which have significant negative impacts to Phoenix and other Arizona cities and towns include:
· An acceleration in the shift in property tax assessment ratios that will mean $160 million less capacity in the next Phoenix bond program. That means 160 million fewer dollars for much-needed, critical infrastructure projects that crate private-sector jobs like building police and fire stations, senior centers, libraries and streets.
· The inclusion of $400 million in corporate and income tax cuts which will mean an annual reduction of $18 million in revenue sharing to Phoenix, resulting in cuts to public safety which now comprises 70 percent of the city's budget.
· A retroactive moratorium on any changes to building codes for the next two years, which would make it impossible to implement recommendations of the City's Adaptive Re-Use Task Force. Those changes would make it easier for small businesses to renovate existing buildings by easing unnecessary building requirements. Cities would also be unable to modify codes to allow for green technologies as simple as rainwater re-use.
These issues currently make it impossible for me to support the budget proposal that is currently on the table.
Passing a budget just to be able to say "We passed a budget" is fraught with danger and we cannot risk the unintended consequences that are sure to come out of this package (which underwent none of the scrutiny that the normal legislative process is supposed to provide).
I remain committed to a positive resolution to this crisis. Just as all of Arizona's cities and towns have been able to balance their budgets through hard work, open dialogue and tough choices, the State can and should do the same. So I encouraged the Governor and her staff to do what cities do -- reach out to moderates, both Republicans and Democrats, to develop a bi-partisan budget. Relying on a single political party for the last seven months has simply not been productive for Arizona.
I've also offered the resources of City budget, finance, and economic development experts to look at the cumulative impacts of the budget package on local public safety and future economic development. Again, I appreciate Governor Brewer's willingness to listen to my concerns and her efforts on behalf of the people of the State. Working together regardless of political affiliation or ideology is what has made Arizona successful in the past and will make us great in the future.
I remain optimistic that if we work together, we will develop a budget that I can support, together with the majority of residents throughout the state.
Next up, the text of Brewer's August 12 statement:
STATEMENT BY GOVERNOR JAN BREWER "I trust the people of Arizona. But, I am deeply disappointed that some Members of the Arizona State Senate do not. They have so little trust in the voters, that they would once again delay the passage of a sound state budget, and deny the people an opportunity to protect critical funding for education, public safety, and care for our most vulnerable citizens. Their actions are irresponsible, create an increasing cost to state taxpayers and, if not resolved quickly, will do irreparable harm to our families and our economic future.
"I commend the courage, vision, and leadership of the Republican Members of the Arizona House and Arizona Senate and thank them for their support of a compromise budget package that could meet with my approval, address our historic shortfall, and provide a platform for a successful economic future. As I have stated on numerous occasions since I took office last January, the state budget is neither a Republican, nor a Democratic problem, it is a problem for all of Arizona and should be addressed promptly and responsibly. The Members of the House and Senate who have supported a pragmatic, reasonable resolution of the budget shortfall have my gratitude, and should be commended by the citizens of the State of Arizona.
"I intend to continue to work with legislators from both sides of the aisle to construct a budget package that will honestly and objectively address our state's massive budget deficit. Indeed those efforts are well underway this evening."

(Adds details from report)
OTTAWA, March 18 (Reuters) - Canadian retail sales rose far more than expected in January, boosted by motor vehicle purchases and a rebound in a number of sectors that slumped at the end of last year, data from Statistics Canada showed on Friday.
Sales rose 2.1 percent, topping analysts' expectations for a gain of 0.6 percent. Excluding the auto sector, sales were up 1.2 percent, while overall volumes gained 2.1 percent.
Motor vehicle and parts dealers led the advance with a 4.8 percent increase, the sector's third gain in four months, as sales at new car dealers rose.
Consumers cut back their spending in December in the midst of unseasonably warm weather, but five sectors bounced back in January from lower end-of-year sales. Sales at general merchandise stores jumped 4.9 percent, while clothing purchases rose 1.2 percent.
Spending was up in eight of Canada's 10 provinces, including Ontario and Quebec. But sales in oil-sensitive Alberta slipped 0.2 percent, the fourth decrease in five months, as higher new car sales were offset by lower sales at gasoline stations.

Have you ever wondered why the rapture as it is described on television, in books, in movies, and even from the pulpit, does not seem to match what you read in the Bible? Or why the teaching that Christians will be whisked to heaven without facing any of the persecution and testing of the "Tribulation" period does not seem to match the character of God as revealed in the scriptures? There is a reason. It doesn't. The timing of the rapture clearly, repeatedly, and consistently taught in scripture is that Jesus will return to rapture the Church after the rise of the Antichrist, after the start of the "Tribulation" period, but before the Day of the Lord and God's wrath, not pretribulationally as many teach. The implications for believers, both in their lifestyles and their individual relationships with God, are critical. This revised and expanded edition of this foundational prewrath text, written for believers at all levels of education and spiritual growth, takes a look at the prewrath timing and the volume of scriptures that support this important doctrine for the rapidly approaching End Times. Although written to be understandable for all Christians, this book contains in-depth arguments and rebuttals to key pretribulation arguments suitable for use by pastors, prophecy teachers, and professors. What's new in this edition? . Expanded and clarified arguments. . Foreword by Gary Vaterlaus, national instructor for Sola Scriptura (formerly The Sign Ministries), asking, "Is pretribulationism a text of orthodoxy?" . Expanded review of the development of modern eschatology, putting pretribulationism in its historical context. . Nearly one dozen new charts, including those that provide greater clarification on the structure of Revelation. . Revised analysis of "the last trumpet." . New appendix: Oswald T. Allis- Do Parousia, Apocalypse, Epiphany Require Different Comings? . New appendix by Gary Vaterlaus that answers the question, "What did the church fathers believe about the coming Antichrist and the Tribulation?", letting the church fathers answer this question in their own words through substantive excerpts from the writings of key figures such as Justin Martyr, Tertullian, and Ireneaus.
