The GP3 Series kicked back into life after the summer break today with practice for this weekend's two races at the famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit, and all three Status Grand Prix drivers completed the session in very wet and foggy conditions without incident.
Renowned for producing challenging weather, the 4.35-mile sweeping Belgian circuit was drenched by downpours all day, giving the Status GP drivers their second full wet session of this season's races.
With wet weather tyres as standard issue, it was Canadian driver Robert Wickens who led the way for the Status GP team. Arriving at the penultimate GP3 Series event of the season lying in a strong second in the drivers' championship, the 21-year-old ran in the top six for most of the session. However, his final two laps were impeded by spun cars causing a yellow-flag section in front of him, and in the final reckoning he was demoted down to 11th position.
Daniel Morad faced a steep learning curve as he drove at Spa for the first time, and the GMH Motorsport- backed driver did a good job to negotiate the streams of water across the circuit and maximise his track time. The Canadian-Lebanese gradually increased his speed and ended with a lap less than a second behind team-mate Wickens as he dialled his car into the circuit's 21 corners.
Marussia Motors Development driver Ivan Lukashevich also did not put a wheel wrong as he returned to Spa, where he began his racing career in the Benelux Formula Ford series. The 19-year-old from Moscow was another to have his best lap delayed by the yellows, but is confident that he can move further up the grid in tomorrow morning's all-important qualifying session.
Status Grand Prix team manager Simon Cayzer said: "We would have liked to have been quicker, but we tried a number of things on the set-up and we know what direction to head in from here. We're pleased that all three drivers negotiated a difficult session in sensible fashion, and it's qualifying tomorrow that counts."

Very nice and small hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful and the location was perfect! Only a couple of downsides: in my room there was no toilet and I had to walk to the end of the corridor to reach my (private) toilet. Quite annoying. Second, the hotel is full of stairs but there are no elevators, so it's not suitable for wheelchairs or persons with locomotor problems.

Oklahoma does not have a federally approved occupational safety and health regulatory program for the state; therefore, private sector employers must comply with federal occupational safety and health standards for written safety plans for specific activities (e.g., bloodborne pathogens exposure control plan, hazard communication plan) and for specific hazardous substances.
Public (state and local government) sector workplaces must comply with the state workplace safety and health rules for safety plans; the state has adopted the federal rules by reference. In addition, public sector employers must develop a written safety program that addresses all activities where employees may encounter hazards in the workplace.
Self-insured and group-insured employers must develop workplace safety plans for workers' compensation coverage.
Small private employers may qualify for a workers' compensation insurance premium reduction by developing a workplace safety and health program.
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) administers and enforces federal workplace safety and health requirements in private sector workplaces in the state.
Each public sector employer must develop a written safety program appropriate to the workplace and the nature of hazards encountered by employees. The employer must implement all of the following safety program activities:

While reviewing the 'Tickets' database table within SQL I noticed that the 'created_at', 'updated_at' and 'closed_at' dates contains the value of 12/30/1899. I proceeded to run the Tickets By Month Report and found that it displays valid results. Why are the dates in the table displaying 12/30/1899?
This topic was created during version 5.1.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

What are you using to view the SQLite database? Perhaps it is misinterpreting the null results in those columns as 12/30/1899?
Apr 16, 2012 at 2:17 UTC
Network Engineering Technologies is an IT service provider.
see the same thing. Weird thing is this:
select tickets.summary, tickets.description, tickets.c_work_type, tickets.c_resolution_Code,tickets.c_ticket_Status
, TI.Created_at, TI.updated_at
from tickets
INNER JOIN ticket_Involvements as TI ON TI.Ticket_id=tickets.id
WHERE TI.Created_at > '2012-04-15'
Results show the data in the TI.Created_At column is 12/30/1899.
It is almost like the SQLiteExplorer by singular does not display dates correctly, but the SQL query compiles correct.
New to using Singular SQLlite so very interested in learning the tweaks and quirks.
Apr 16, 2012 at 2:20 UTC
Network Engineering Technologies is an IT service provider.
Found the answer. You have to put the date fields into a function:
strftime('%Y-%m-%d', Created_at) as CreatedDate
This will display the date correctly.

Shamsabad: Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has decided to rechristen Shamsabad district as Rangareddy on which Congress demanded not to change Shamsabad's name. Mohammed Shamsuddin, Deputy Sarpanch, K Narsimha, Naresh, Nandraj, Goud, Srikant condemned government's move.
Mailaram Sulochana, former MPTC member, Mailaram Krishna and Mohammed Ameenuddin in a press meet also said that Chief Minister has decided to christen Shamsabad as Rangareddy which we oppose on behalf of our party. They demanded to retain the name Shamsabad. It will help everyone to identify the place, they said.
It must be noted that Rangareddy will be divided into three parts namely Malkajgiri, Viqarabad and Shamsabad. The proposed new district at Viqarabad will also be named as Ananthagiri. The leaders demanded not to change the above mentioned names.
This move by KCR raises question in the mind of people in general and Muslims in particular that whether KCR wants to erase Muslim names from the map of Telangana? Because only the Muslim names are being changed. Viqarabad is being changed into Ananthagiri and Shamsabad is being changed into Rangareddy.
It must also be noted that Mahboob Nagar is also deliberately misspelt as Mahaboob Nagar. Even Shamsabad and Viqarabad are also misspelt as Shamshabad and Vikarabad respectively.

Goddard in the Starting Blocks: Course set for Fedora 13
Following last weeks feature freeze, the Fedora team yesterday branched Fedora 13 away from the main developer repository "Rawhide."
Fedora 13, codenamed Goddard, is planned for release May 11. For the first public alpha version, due early March, the developers have now branched off the relevant packages and at the same time opened Rawhide for Fedora 14 development.
This is a change in Fedora's normal development mode, because in the past, Rawhide would be completely frozen for a given time. What the change means and who it may affect is described in the Fedora wiki.
First designs for how Fedora 13 will look are already available. Most of them have taken their inspiration from the codename of the rocket scientist Goddard.

No lacking 💪🏽
I'm not a trap and skeet guy, but I had the opportunity to shoot a sporting clays match with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department last week. It was a helluva time– even though I've never really done it before and I had the wrong equipment (Benelli M4 with no choke tubes). I was getting plenty of looks by the veteran shooters, but when the short barrel started making hits, I converted some folks to the church of Benelli. One of the best upgrades I've done to my Benelli M4 was to ditch the standard pistol grip and go with a traditional stock (shown here.) For $150, it's a great improvement to the stock ergonomics. The weapon points better and is quicker on target. Don't get me wrong: I'm a fan of pistol grips– even on shotguns. However, this setup definitely works better for me. Factory Benelli stocks are hard to find, so if you need one, shoot me an e-mail: email@example.com
Just installed my new TAPCO SAW grip on my FAL! The screw on the inside was a bitch to get undone, but I'm very pleased with the result, and it's a hell of a lot more ergonomic & comfortable… and the little storage lid is neat. ^_^
Random side note: the old grip had a bunch of grime & stuff all over the inside, and at first I was puzzled as to what it was… then I realized it was a mixture of Cosmoline & sand, so I now have genuine Israeli sand all over my bed/floor. XD

Parmesan Spinach & Artichoke Spread
READY IN: 1hr 5mins
Recipe by Chef Buggsy Mate
This dish makes a wonderful spread for crackers or little slices of bread. It also makes a very tasty side dish for a special meal.
Top Review by JackieOhNo
The sauteed vegetables are a nice new twist in this spread, and it makes a ton! You could easily halve this recipe. I just felt it needed a little something more - perhaps some garlic powder, or sauteeing some garlic with the other vegetables. I will definitely play with this a little more!

If I loved him before this happened then yes but if he is just a stranger no because I am going to think he is an old man and the idea that he could be my age would never cross my mind... that and putting yourself through that baggage without previous ties just sounds like you will end up resenting him.
I would <: If he was a nice guy and I liked him and if he had a nice personality then of course. It would probably look a lil' odd though aha me walking around dating a guy that looks 90 years old since i'm 15 paha but yep

The weekend is here and I'm sure a few of you out there are about to spend another weekend playing some Halo: Reach. Now with the armor abilities that are new to the multiplayer experience this gives matchmaking a new twist as well as rethinking how battles are going to go. One of these armor abilities is the hologram, and although they do prove useful for scouting and distractions, there are ways to tell the difference between an actual player and a hologram. So today we're going to provide you some tips on how to spot a hologram before you empty half a clip on them and get ambushed.
Tip 1: Behavior
Holograms only move in a straight line and nothing more. If there projected path leads them to a wall holograms will tend to try to walk through a wall or sometimes just stop at the wall. So if you're unsure if it's a real player or just a hologram get to a hiding spot where you could possibly ambush them and just watch if they walk into a wall or stay completely straight.
Tip 2: Motion Sensor
The motion sensor is going to be your best friend when it comes to fighting against holograms. As you know on the motion sensor your allies appear yellow and enemies appear red. Holograms on the other hand appear white on the motion sensor, so if you're unsure if the person charging at you is real or not just quickly crouch and hide somewhere and check your sensor.
Tip 3: No Motion Sensor
There are a few game type variants that won't allow use of a motion sensor. So how do you spot a hologram without the help of a motion sensor. Well yeah there is tip 1 but there is also your reticule. Just point the reticule at the suspected hologram. If the reticule doesn't change color, it's a hologram. If it changes to red and depending on your position, either open fire or get ready to ambush.
Tip 4: One burst weapons
Now I know during the heat of battle you're not going to think and take the time to check if it's a hologram or not, which is why any single shot burst weapon are going to be your best friend when facing a hologram. To not waste so much ammo on your Assault Rifle, Sniper Rifle, or even a Rocket Launcher at that matter, stick to single burst weapons. If a hologram comes up and you open a couple shots, you'll only waste on bullet at a time and not half a clip. With these you'll still have plenty of shots left to take on the hologram user that's either about to ambush you or have an ambush party ready.
Follow these 4 tips and you'll save bullets that will matter as well saving your own life and making the hologram user reveal his position. Have fun on matchmaking and maybe we'll see you on.

The card I chose to make uses all Stampin Up products.
The bundle I chose was from the Party Animal Suite on page 4-5 of the Occasions Catalog and the stamp set is the Balloon Adventures. I also used the matching framelits (Balloon Pop-up) and Party Animal embellishments and Emerald Envy taffeta ribbon.
I used a Paper and ink combination of Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Emerald Envy and Pacific Point.
The card is pretty easy to make
I used Emerald Envy for my cardbase and a piece of DSP cut to and 1/8" shorter than the cardbase.
I cut out the balloon background with the Balloon Pop up framelits, then I trimmed the edges to the size I wanted it to be on the front of the card.
Stamped the balloons using the Balloon Adventures and Balloon Celebration stamp sets.
Punched them out using the Balloon punch.
I stamped the banner and cut it out by hand.
I added clear Wink of Stella on the balloons, banner and strings. I also added some Basic Rhinestones.
Take a gusseted bag from the Annual Catalog and adhere the flap on the bottom seam (this helps the bag to stand)
Next, Cut a piece of DSP to 3x9 and score one end at 2' & 4".
I like to put adhesive on the bottom of the dsp so it stays in place once inserted into the bag. Place the DSP inside the bag, you will want one section to be the front of the bag, bottom and then back.
I used the Banner Framelits for the front of the bag (used the 3rd and 4th smallest (counted from the smallest to largest))
I used a balloon stamp to on the background of the Tangerine Tango paper, and I used Stampin Write markers for the words.
Ct a piece of cardstock and punch out the stars with the Confetti Stars Punch.
Cut a piece of DSP to 3x2 and folding in half to (this will be at the top of the bag to help it stay closed)
I used a tassel from the Cupcakes & Carousels embellishment kit, I used a piece of tafetta ribbon and adhered it to the inside of the binder clip with a glue dot and then I hung a balloon embellishment with Whisper White baker's twine.
Finished it off with some Silver sequins and Basic Rhinestones.
I hope you enjoyed the projects I made for you! Please leave a comment for your chance at winning some blog candy!!!

This is a particle-based weapon which, though delivers significant damage at a decent rate of fire, requires enormous amounts of energy.

Poker Player of the Year Races August update
With three outlets now handing out Player of the Year awards, tournament poker players have even more opportunities to promote themselves within the poker world, and should a player manage to capture two, or possibly all three Player of the Year awards, they would surely become one of the most marketable players in the game. And this very well could occur this year!
The early leader for the POY trophies was Jonathan Duhamel, who had a blistering start to his 2012 tournament campaign, but hasn't been able to continue his incredible January run and is starting to slip down the leader-boards. Taking his place initially was Dan Smith, who has been one of the most consistent performers over the past year. But even Smith has had to make way for the surging Marvin Rettenmaier, coming off a solid WSOP performance as well as back-to-back WPT wins at the $25k WPT Championship and the recently concluded WPT Merit Cyprus Classic.
The question is, can Rettenmaier maintain his lead, on the GPI and BLUFF leader-boards and jump two spots in the Cardplayer rankings, or will another player close the gap?
Here is a look at the Player of the Year races from the three major outlets, Cardplayer Magazine, Bluff Magazine, and the Global Poker Index.
BLUFF Magazine Player of the Year standings through August 17, 2012:
1. Marvin Rettenmaier– 1,026.47
2. Dan Smith — 946.71
3. Phil Ivey — 904.17
4. Jonathan Duhamel — 795.80
5. Vanessa Selbst — 697.70
6. Kyle Julius — 694.43
7. Oliver Speidel — 669.81
8. Tommy Vedes — 660.57
9. Joe Kuether — 647.04
10. Daniel Negreanu — 638.96
Cardplayer Magazine Player of the Year standings through August 17, 2012:
1. Kyle Julius — 3,752
2. Dan Smith — 3,488
3. Marvin Rettenmaier — 3,272
4. Oliver Speidel — 3,046
5. Anthony Gregg — 2,984
6. Vadzim Kursevich — 2,717
7. Joe Kuether — 2,716
8. John Dibella — 2,512
9. Daniel Kelly — 2,508
10. Phil Ivey — 2,495
Global Poker index Player of the Year standings through August 17, 2012:
1. Marvin Guido Rettenmaier — 802.42
2. David Baker — 715.91
3. Jonathan Duhamel — 668.79
4. Dan Smith — 662.47
5. Erik Cajelais — 639.54
6. Kyle Julius — 637.63
7. Phil Ivey — 629.12
8. Daniel Negreanu — 607.28
9. Andrew Lichtenberger — 605.50
10. Tommy Vedes — 598.41
All three ranking systems use a different criterion to determine the Player of the Year:
* Cardplayer Magazine focuses on a player's results over the course of the entire calendar year.
* Bluff Magazine takes into account a player's results from the previous calendar year (weighted at about 50% of the current year)
* The Global Poker Index uses a players top cashes from different quarters of the year only, all other results are discounted

FRANKFURT, Oct 4 (Reuters) - German car parts maker ZF Friedrichshafen on Tuesday said preliminary results from its takeover bid are expected to show it has failed to clinch majority control over Swedish braking systems maker Haldex.
"We expect that the condition of reaching an acceptance threshold of more than 50 percent will not be reached," a spokesman for ZF said, adding that an exact result should be published on Wednesday.
Haldex management had recommended shareholders accept ZF's offer, despite a higher bid from Germany's Knorr-Bremse, which raised its offer to 125 Swedish crowns ($14.54) per share, above the 120 crowns offered by ZF.
German daily Handelsblatt was first to report that ZF had failed to clinch majority control over Haldex.
Haldex declined to comment. ($1 = 8.5947 Swedish crowns) (Reporting by Ilona Wissenbach and Edward Taylor in Frankfurt and Johannes Hellstrom in Stockholm; Editing by Georgina Prodhan)

The 2009 Volkswagen GTI features quick acceleration, sharp handling, and all-around strong performance—the qualities reviewers are looking for in true sports car.
Kelley Blue Book says its favorite feature of the 2009 GTI is the six-speed Direct Shift gearbox: "In stop-and-go traffic it's a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. On your favorite road or track it's a quick-shifting, no-pedal manual. You won't miss the clutch pedal as much as you may think." Pushing the GTI is Volkswagen's 2.0-liter, DOHC, 16-valve, inline four-cylinder turbo engine producing 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. Car and Driver reports "VW's robust 2.0-liter turbo four provides ample thrust, driving the front wheels through a six-speed manual transmission (standard) or, our choice, the slick paddle-shifted dual-clutch DSG automated manual.
ConsumerGuide notes, "Despite some low-speed turbo lag, GTIs have quick acceleration and impressive highway passing punch. The manual transmission shifts with exemplary precision, but some testers would like shorter throws." Automotive.com declares, "The Volkswagen GTI is fun to drive and that's where it shines. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is responsive and offers a broad plateau of torque. Maximum torque is available from a mere 1800 rpm up to 5000 rpm, so you can putter comfortably around town in fourth gear without having to overwork your right arm searching for the engine's sweet spot as you maneuver in city traffic."
When it comes to handling, ConsumerGuide praises the GTI's talents: "Among the best-handling front-wheel-drive cars. All have outstanding grip in fast turns with quick, precise steering." Car and Driver explains "it's the GTI's rigid unibody that makes it such an agreeable partner, whether it's the daily commute or a weekend back-road blast. Exemplary chassis rigidity allowed the development team to tune the suspension for a blend of precise response and smooth ride quality reminiscent of a car wearing BMW badges." Edmunds, however, isn't as impressed with the GTI's cornering prowess: "If there's a knock against the GTI other than its comparatively modest collection of horses, it's the car's shortage of all-out cornering ability. Don't get us wrong; the GTI handles well, but competing sport compacts generally offer sharper handling and less body roll." ConsumerGuide also lauds the GTI's anchors, saying, "The brakes deliver worry-free stops."
The 2009 GTI gets respectable fuel economy, but at the cost of filling the tank with premium-grade gasoline. "In Consumer Guide testing, GTIs averaged 16.8-19.1 mpg with manual transmission, 23.6 with the automatic, both in slightly more highway travel vs. city driving," the source reports. Automotive.com warns, "While the car operates on regular unleaded, premium fuel is recommended to achieve maximum performance." Motor Trend sums up the GTI's performance, saying, "If you're looking for good fuel economy and plenty of space, but don't want to give up sports-car speed and handling, the GTI is a good place to look."

Tasked with taking guns off the streets, Prince George's County Police Detective Juan Carter instead stole and sold them, prosecutors said Monday. When investigators were tipped to his scheme, he made efforts to throw them off, prosecutors said.
The accusations were made Monday during opening statements in Carter's trial in Prince George's County Circuit Court. Though prosecutors did not fully lay out the evidence they have, they accused Carter of profiting by selling the very shotguns, machine guns and handguns he was assigned to take away from criminals.
"He was a man who was a gun dealer on the streets with a badge," prosecutor Jonathon Church told jurors.
Carter was indicted in 2010 on 13 counts of misconduct in office and theft. The Prince George's County narcotics detective was a member of a state task force that worked to take guns from criminals, and prosecutors said in court Monday he was specially tasked — because of his rank — with logging some of the evidence the task force seized.
At one point, more than 20 guns the task force had taken were missing, authorities have said. Those guns, sources have said, were traceable in some way to Carter.
One of them was used in the September 2009 shooting of off-duty Officer Eric Horne when two men tried to car-jack his vehicle, authorities have said.
Prosecutors did not say in opening statements how many guns they allege were taken.
Douglas Wood, Carter's defense attorney, said his client did not steal the weapons. He said that Carter was a good, aggressive officer but that his paperwork, and that of others on the task force, was sometimes sloppy.
Carter made $80,000 to $90,000 a year and lived comfortably with his wife in Bowie, so he had no financial motive to sell seized guns, Wood said.
"In a sense, they're trying to make him a fall guy for some things that happened," he said.
Carter was suspended with pay in 2009 while internal affairs detectives investigated the weapons' disappearance, then suspended without pay after his 2010 indictment. He remains suspended without pay, said Cpl. Mike Rodriguez, a Prince George's County police spokesman.
The task force, which according to state records seized nearly 430 guns from its inception in 2007 to September 2009, has been disbanded, authorities have said.
Church said detectives first began investigating Carter in 2009, when some guns that were supposed to have been seized turned up on the streets. The prosecutor said that Carter made excuses when questioned about the weapons, and at least one computer zip drive containing seizure records was destroyed.
"For a while, the defendant got away with it," Church said. "He thought nobody was watching, but it caught up to him."
Carter's trial is expected to last at least two more days.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys questioned two witnesses Monday — an internal affairs investigator and a task force commander. Woods's questions focused on imperfect record-keeping and evidence collection by task force members and investigators, while prosecutors tried to demonstrate the correct procedure for processing seized guns.

Volleyball is a popular sport and is played at Olympics level too. It is an internationally celebrated game and has inspired many movies and films that has showcased many true life events encouraged by this sports. There are certain rules and regulations that must be followed in the game to live the true essence of this competitive sport. Volleyball equipments like kneepads must be used during the game to ensure a healthy match avoiding bruises. Beach volleyballs and indoor volleyballs can often lead to the fall of players on ground which can cause injury to the knees and legs. Hence volley ball kneed pads and shoes must be used to ensure a healthy game.
Volleyball Kneepads
Volleyball kneepads come in different sizes, padding options and sleeve lengths. Kneepads from different brands are promoted that come in different size and lengths to suit your needs. The kneepads from Asics come for junior and adult size while Mizuna kneepads come in medium and large sizes.

The top brands offer volleyball kneepads of different sizes and in some cases colors too. There are discounts of various volleyball kneepads which makes it affordable.
Best-selling Volleyball Kneepad
The bestselling kneepads for players who are under the age of 12 are Asics ZD0926 Ace low profile. This kneepad is reasonably priced and is most affordable for all juniors. It also promises perfect coverage for all young players who are beginners. For players coming from high school or college, the bestselling kneepad for volley ball is mizuna SL2. It has a low profile design and the padding is strategically placed to extend the patella and lateral protection. It provides the best medical protection for all ages and hence is most recommendable.
Final Say
Volley ball is not a very high-impact game but knee pads strengthen the muscles and give stability to the players during a competitive match. Hence it is of great significance that the right kneepad is purchased to manage a successful match. In addition to protection, kneepads are thus indispensable to improve the quality of the game for each and every player involved.

Pompous Celebrity Request of the Week
Filed Under Celebrity Idiots, War | 10 Comments
Some glitterati go out of their way to look like asses:
Supermodel Kate Moss tried to stop military planes bound for Afghanistan from flying over her wedding ceremony and reception, The Sun reported Thursday.
Moss, 37 — who is now honeymooning on a $16 million superyacht — wanted to get married without the drone of jets from the Royal Air Force's (RAF) Brize Norton base overhead.
She asked chiefs at the base near her Little Faringdon, central England, home to divert or postpone their flights — but was politely refused.
If I was in charge of that air base, not only would RAF planes have continued to fly over her reception, but they would have "accidentally" emptied the on-board latrines while passing overhead.

Tower this is Edgy 25 requesting permission to "adjust gross weight", over.

"adjust gross weight"…..ha ha ha !
The military base obviously can`t move and isn`t about to alter schedules just because some self-important celeb. is having a get-together nearby. Katie has the use of a $17M superyacht – that IS mobile – why not have the wedding on the superyacht in a beautiful, quiet location, drop off the guests afterwards and sail off to honeymoon bliss ?! Won`t 1,700 of her closest friends and family fit on a $17M superyacht ?

Perhaps they could have "buzzed the tower" during the ceremony and really made one hell of a noise.

"Supermodel Kate Moss tried to"
FORMER 'super' model ( who's 'career' primarily centered on going in and out of re-hab ) wants her 15 mins. back.
And so far as Superyachts go, $17 mil. is a dingy. Let alone "the use of" for photo ops? Why do people like this even GET married? Turds away skipper!

The Sun has pics of the yacht in question; 107' long and quite nice looking. No, her wedding guests wouldn`t have fit on it….. But the RAF shouldn`t have any trouble locating all that sleek whiteness for an inconvenient buzz !

Want to know some easy tips and tricks that will extend your iOS device's battery life to keep your device running for longer periods of time? One of the most frustrating issue that any smartphone user has to face is that dreadful low battery pop up. Depending on which operating system your phone has, there are many user optimizations the user can preform to extend the battery life of your device. In this case, we will explore many ways that you can increase the battery-life of an iOS device.
Extend your iOS device's battery life
1. Turn off Auto-Brightness
Auto-Brightness does not actually help increase your battery-life. In fact, we found a 20% drop in battery-life when it's on. Interestingly we found that the Auto-Brightness feature is made to allow the user to view the screen as clear as possible based on the light sensor, and does not take in account of battery drainage. iOS will turn up the brightness of your screen when you're device is in direct light just to make sure you are able to view the screen. So your device will utilize more power during the day. On top of that, the light sensor will draw additional power, so having this feature will surely decrease your battery-life. If you have jailbreak your iPhone you can turn off the auto brightness settings and manage the brightness settings via SBSettings easily. If you haven't, you will have to manually manage your brightness settings, to do this, go to your settings app, Brightness & Wallpaper >, and tap the switch on Auto-Brightness, and slide brightness bar to the left to lower the brightness.
2. Disable LTE
Disabling LTE will extend your iOS device's battery life. Since the iPhone 5 LTE modem is not connected to your own 3G modem, it will not affect the phone's ability to receive/send data or receive phone calls. Also, 3G is fast enough for you to send and receive data from your messenger apps. You will only need to use LTE for downloading large files, or streaming videos. Thus, it would be easier for you to leave the LTE feature off and turn it off when necessary. To reach your LTE settings, go to the Settings app, and General >, Cellular >, and Enable LTE.
3. Turn off Vibrate on Ring
We were surprised on how much power the vibrate module uses, and an easy way to extend your iOS device's battery life is just to disable it on ring. It's quite obvious that having the speakers and vibrate on simultaneously would drain the battery a lot faster than just having the speakers on to play your favorite ring tone. So how do you turn this feature off? go to the Settings app >, Sounds > and Vibrate on Ring. On the flip-side, you will have to turn on silent mode to get it vibrate in a crowded supermarket or mall to know that you're receiving a call. This is compensated by the easy silent switch on the iPhone's side.
4. Turn off Location-Based iAds
Turning off Location-Based iAds will certainly stop iAds to from using your GPS module, and since your GPS module uses more energy, it is very important to turn this function off. To do this go to your settings app > privacy > Location Services > (Scroll all the way to the bottom) > System Services > and disable Location-Based iAds.
5. Restrict Cellular data usage for certain apps
There are certain apps you want Cellular Data to retrieve information and others apps whom are less important which in cases you do not want to enable data usage for. Restricting these apps will save you lots of energy consumption. You can change these settings in the settings app, Cellular > and scroll all the way down in the "Use Cellular Data for:" section. Here you'll be able to manage which apps you what the Cellular Data will be used for.
There many other ways to conserve battery-life such as turn off bluetooth or personal hotspot; however, this is dependent on whether or not you're using these features at the moment. As a rule of thumb, it is always a good idea to leave it off when you're are not using it; however, sometimes it's not easy managing these little details as the iOS operating system does not make it easy especially if you have not jailbreaked your iPhone. However, with the release of the new iOS 7, they will add easy access to the settings which will make it more convenient to disable blue-tooth or personal hotspot and other services. Is this a feature that should have been implemented a long time a go?

I would love to see something to log the permission changes happening via the addon system.
Let's say you've created a premium membership and you want to confirm user A (promoted) can view and post in forum Y but user B (not promoted) cannot view or post in forum Y. This let's you do that.
What if i have 2 addons installed (e.g. an addon changing the view permission based on the age+ e.g. an addon which allows you to create only 2 new threads per day.
XF permission analysis would still show "YES" because of the general permission, but it would be NO for several users because of the addon code, right?
Where to search for the problem?
Some addons have their settings in the acp options, some in the forum options form and some have their own acp controllers.. It can get a real nightmare.... Specially if you have no clue what you're looking for. You just know, SOMETHING isn't right here and you have to deactivate 150 addons and active them to find the problem.
That's why I as admin would love to see in the detailswindow of the new permission analysis at least a notice, addon "X" is manipulating the return value based on XYZ...
What about an own Logger for this, which can/have to be used by addmins
// this is the addon code
public function canViewForum(array $forum, &$errorPhraseKey = '', array $nodePermissions = null, array $viewingUser = null)
$parentReturn = parent::canViewForum($forum, $errorPhraseKey, $nodePermissions, $viewingUser);
if ($parentReturn && false == $this->checkSomething()){
XenForo_Model_PermissionChangeLogger::log('forum', 'canViewForum', 'addonX changed this based on ...', true);
$errorPhraseKey = 'addonx_no_view_forum_perm';
return false;
XenForo_Model_PermissionChangeLogger::log('forum', 'canViewForum', 'addonX could change this based on ...', false); //just a notice to show that it COULD change something
return $parentReturn;
in the default frontend calls, nothing would happen, XenForo_Model_PermissionChangeLogger wouldn't log anything for better performance.
If it's called via the acp controller and the "permission <-> method" map, it would log the changes and show them in the details window.
1. => REAL VALUE would be shown
2. => it would be easier to see what changed the value
My idea is just a quick codesnipper and i know it's not the perfect solution because addons would need to use this, but it would be a great start and help with debugging

The French have given the United States many tremendous gifts, such as the Statue of Liberty and the current Statue of Liberty, which subdued the first one after lightning made it evil. Avoid Frankenstatues while feasting like the French with today's Groupon at Brasserie Monte Carlo in Bethesda. Choose between the following options:
- For $15, you get $30 of French-Mediterranean dinner fare.
- For $7, you get $15 of French-Mediterranean lunch and brunch fare.
Chef Sonny Abraham unifies diverse culinary traditions to forge a menu that showcases the flavors of Southern France. Dinnertime highlights the Angus-filet-mignon medallions drizzled in cognac-peppercorn sauce ($28) and the Chairman's Reserve pork tenderloin ($24), a fine cut of meat normally set aside for peg-legged administrators, comes topped with a whole-grain-mustard sauce. During lunch, balsamic glaze settles like snow on the peaks of caramelized onions and smoked bacon perched atop the calves liver ($13) and capers leap in a sparkling sea of lemon juice and white-wine sauce coating the sautéed rainbow trout ($12), which leads to a tiny pot of gold at the tail-end of each fish.
Flowers burst brightly as the centerpiece of every table, complimenting a mural of a scenic oceanscape that depicts figures frolicking on sandy beaches and wishing they had applied sunscreen. Reservations can be made by phone, and limited outdoor seating is available.
Brasserie Monte Carlo
When Sonny Abraham took a job at his father's restaurant, he assumed it would be a temporary arrangement until he received his pilot's license. But it was amid the hot suds of soapy dishes and the clatter of pots and pans that he fell in love with the restaurant industry and began dreaming of starting a fine-dining establishment of his own. In pursuit of his new dream, Sonny secured culinary positions at upscale hotels throughout Washington, DC, even traveling to Switzerland to work in a high-end kitchen. Ten years later, Sonny captains the kitchen of his own restaurant, Brasserie Monte Carlo.
Inside the restaurant, which was very recently REAL certified by the United States Healthful Food Council, Sonny whips up French Mediterranean dishes with housemade sauces and herbs from his own garden. The chef often delivers the still-sizzling dishes to the dining room himself, where diners await their meals over glasses of fine wine. A vivid mural sweeps across one wall, depicting typical scenes from Monte Carlo, from French sunbathers tanning on a beach to an ex-car-insurance salesman working on his first attempt at a romance novel, Even Car-Insurance Salesmen Fall in Love.

1. Curve type, what does it actually mean? Like what is the difference between Mid, Heel, Mid-Toe, etc.? Is that where it is the most curved or what?
It's where the curve starts. A toe curve with have most of the curve near the end of the blade- think a fishing hook, but not as bent, obviously. A mid curve will be bent in the middle, like a section of a circle. A heel curve will have a bend near where the blade meets the shaft, and be close to straight the rest of the way. If you don't know, start with a mid curve, they're the most versatile. Different curves are better suited to different types of shooting, stickhandling and such, and there are entire threads devoted to that, so I won't go into that now.
2. What is curve depth? I can't really tell the difference looking at blade charts on hockey monkey, but is curve depth basically how far in it is curved or how much curve there is?
How curved it is is exactly right. The way it's measured is difficult to explain, but the larger the number, the more curve a blade has. Just starting you should use something with less curve so you learn better technique.
3. Is curve size basically self-explanatory?
If you mean, long, short medium, yeah. It's the length of the blade. Longer blades get you more surface area to pick up passes, pucks along the boards, blocking shots, ect. A shorter blade will be lighter, giving you slightly faster hands, and is supposed to give you more control. I really never notice length, don't worry about it.
And how does each effect a shot if it does?
Sorry if my questions are noobish, but thanks in advance
That's the biggest question. Quick guide, the more of a heel curve it is, the bigger your sweet sport for slapshots is. The more of a toe, you'll get better spin and velocity on wristers.
Also, you need to consider how open a curve is. The more open a curve is, the more it raises your shot like a pitching wedge. However, the more open a curve is the harder raising a backhand will be.
And one thing that you didn't mention is toe shape. A round toe will make it easier to do a toe drag as you get a lot more blade around a puck, but a square toe will allow you to be able to pick pucks up along the boards marginally better. You shouldn't have to worry about that at all, but you'll know what it's about.

Kentucky's jobless rate
unchanged from January
Kentucky's seasonally adjusted preliminary unemployment rate remained at 10.4 percent from January 2011 to February 2011, according to the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet.
The preliminary February 2011 jobless rate is .5 percentage point lower than the 10.9 percent rate recorded in February 2010. The 10.4 percent rate recorded in February 2011 is the highest rate since May 2010 when it was 10.4 percent.
While he was weaving through Washington D.C.'s political circles, Michael Biagi said he always knew he wanted to come back to Kentucky.
Growing up in Shelbyville, he knew the commonwealth would some day be his long-term home.
Now, returning from political stomping grounds, Biagi has found a spot as the Louisville-area field representative for Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky).
He didn't know it then as a young child, but his future was right out there in front of him.
Actually, it was on the same block.
A group of Shelbyville business and homeowners that have been organizing in opposition of the city's sidewalk ordinance have announced a plan to attend the next Shelbyville City Council meeting, which will be April 7.
The group began with a meeting in January and has been collecting signatures for a petition against the sidewalk ordinance since then.
The Shelby County Humane Society is normally more black Lab than black tie, but that will change Saturday night with Runway & Rescue.
The event, which will be at the Henry Clay Building, 604 South 3rd Street in Louisville, is bringing together a high-end fashion show by designer Christian Siriano, sponsored by Glasscock and Chic Boutique, a gourmet dinner from The Silver Spoon and special guest Carson Kressley.
All proceeds from the night, which still has seats available for $100 apiece, will benefit the Shelby County Humane Society.
A Jefferson County man who pleaded guilty last week to what police have called "one of the largest merchandise thefts" ever seen in Shelby County won't be spending any time in jail if he stays clear of trouble.
Jack H. McIntosh, 43, of Jeffersontown was arrested last April and charged with the theft of $512,000 worth of plastic containers. In an agreement with prosecutors, he pleaded guilty in Shelby Circuit Court March 17 to theft by unlawful taking over $10,000, a Class C felony, which carries a penalty of 5 to 10 years in prison.
Masonic Home Shelbyville, named last year as the state's top healthcare facility, now can add its second consecutive 5-star rating by U.S. News & World Report to its growing resume.
The facility learned this week that it had again been so evaluated in the annual Best Nursing Homes survey published by the magazine.
The victims of a small plane crash in California have been identified as members of the Laban Jackson family of Shelby County. Katie Jackson Morrison, the daughter of Laban and Carol Jackson of Lexington, died along with her son Wyatt, 6, and daughter Hannah, 5, in a crash near Barstow, Calif.

Jones, the library media specialist, and Farmer, the family and consumer science teacher, banded together to have students from a culinary arts class work on an edible book show.
"I get a newsletter from the library, and one month it had an article on edible book shows, so I talked to Mrs. Farmer, and we both though 'Let's do it,'" Jones said.
Seniors at Shelby County and Collins high schools now know when – and where – they will receive their diplomas.
At the school board meeting March 10, the school calendar was adjusted to move the last day of school June 3, and now graduation will follow on June 4 at the schools' gyms – ending many years of commencements at the Frankfort Civic Center.
Shelby County High School will have graduation at 1 p.m., and Collins will follow at 7 p.m.
There may be good news on the horizon for the Medicaid impasse created two weeks ago when a heated squabble broke out in Frankfort, leaving a $166 million deficit in next year's budget unresolved.
State Rep. Brad Montell (R-Shelbyville) said Tuesday that a compromise bill passed the House very favorably, with only 4 nays against it, that he is very hopeful will be accepted by the Senate.

A/N: Welcome all to the third and final installment of Monsters, Demons and the Devil Herself!
As a spy you meet a lot of corrupt people. Sometimes you're working against them, sometimes you're forced to work with them.

Through a combination of criminals, you might feel like you'd be able to take on the devil. You've made it through all of that, how could the devil be any worse?
Trust me.
She's worse.

What are GMO's anyway? Genetically Modified Organisms are created when genes from one species, such as bacteria, viruses or human, are forced into the DNA of another crop, or even into animals to produce new traits. This relatively new technology is becoming more and more widespread as chemical companies keep creating new strains of DNA altered seeds, and forcing farmers to use them.

If you are wondering how deep this sinkhole is, the locals say it is a good 20m deep at its lowest point.Thank goodness, our time was not wasted to visit this sink hole located somewhere along the coastal road going to Sur.What's more,its within walking distance from the parking lot. Not really tiring.There are restrooms/shower rooms provided for those who want to take a swim at the Dibab Lake Park.

The High Country
Featuring: THE GREEN MOUNTAIN – AL JABAL AL AKHDAR Conquering The Sayq Plateau or the "High Country of Oman" within the Al Jabal Al Akhdar Mountain Range.
High Altitude Picnic at the plains of Sayq Plateau
Staying in Oman for the most part of my life in the last 6 years has given me enough reason to be an outdoor person.During off days from work as an expat, my activities evolve around simply by spending time mostly in the flatlands frolicking in the wide expanse of the (Gulf of Oman) coast swimming , fishing , crab hunting, or enjoying watersports. For me it was the only recreational diversion I could think of to counter the sweltering heat during the summer months. Though I've been hearing enough of the mountain ranges towering at great heights that some have visited, it just did not sink in my mind to even think about ever trekking a towering plateau.
For one , I've grew up in a high-altitude cold city in the north of the country of my birth at 5,000 ft above sea level and grew accustomed to the road travel going down and up thru a 33-km treacherous and winding road that has gone thru many mishaps and accidents but to ever attempt climbing to even higher at about 10,000 ft just to cool off never really, really crossed my mind . Not until I met a US couple who were so enamored with wild life adventure and long trips within the interior or outskirts of Oman.
They were a huge influence to me about exploring the great places that are already within the vicinities – the wadis, the falajs, forts, and of course the jabals. Yes Jabals or simply mountains. There would be plenty of them in Oman some small some big. So, that when the opportunity came on one Friday morning church service I attended, a voice blurted from the microphone out of the pulpit and an announcement is being made about an upcoming activity. It did not take long for me to decide to join a scheduled picnic that would take place—yes! at one of the great mountaintops in Oman that was most often talked about -Al Jabal Al Akhdar, otherwise referred to as The Green Mountain.
Incidentally, this mountain range reminds me of another Green Mountain that I visited in the Northern African country of Libya way way back in 1997 while working as an expat and doing writing on the side for a Philippine community paper as a columnist.
But just to remind those who don't know yet, there is that documented highest point indeed within this Al Jabal Al Akhdar mountain range that is not part of our itinerary, the Jabal Shams otherwise called "the mountain of the sun", rising to a staggering 3,000 metres (around 9,800 feet) high.The highest point in Oman and the whole of eastern Arabian Peninsula. I'd love to explore this giant mount someday.
If ever there is the opportunity to unwind from rigorous work activity, what better way to schedule a trip than to do it on summer! Bravo…I was one of those eager to go and was among the early registrants.Our close friends came along and so with my family. The date: April 13,2012. It was a humid day in Muscat.Perfect day for the trip.I was told that 2-wheeled sedan cars are not allowed because of the daring uphill blind curves and bumpy roads near the end which any SUV would have little trouble to negotiate the climbs. So I parked my Nissan Tiida sedan car , and boarded one of the SUVs available – a 2.7L Toyota Fortuner.Ten SUVs were deployed.We assembled from the churchyard and at long last, all SUVs revved up together one after the other with their wide-grinning passengers.All powerful engines roared off the road and sped up the whole route for the next 3 hours on a motorcade scene … to this ideallic place.
What seems to be peculiar about this towering mountain, also known in the monicker High Country (of Oman), if anyone were to be surprised is that, this part of Jabal Al Akhdar we wanted to trek was on a plateau, which is unlike any mountain with pointed tops but on a vast expanse of barren wasteland and arid surface called the Sayq Plateau. I took note of some stoney surfaces and arid land jotted with junipers and other wild plants providing ideal grounds for relaxation and walking or overnight camping for backpackers, trekkers, hikers and campers.
The cold environment also allow a number of villages about 30 or so of them to enjoy fresh mountain air the whole year round. I am particularly wary about the settlers, mainly the villagers who live here and who will use the road that link Jabal to the outside world.
Perhaps it is safe to say that they are used to travelling the mountain slopes, treacherous as ever, with sharp bends and very steep at some points. The plateau is home to isolated villages whose people live amongst the rocky peaks. These same peaks provide the traveller with opportunities for walking and trekking, wildlife spotting, canyoning, exploration by 4WD, stunning views and an opportunity to meet local people.
Noticeable on the day we travelled are other trekkers as well also in SUVs and 4WDs.The expat community of white people are some of the avid climbers to the Green Mountain but there are also a mix of different nationalities who enjoy climbing this mountain.It just makes me wonder why the place have not blossomed into a big city in a high place just like the mile high city of Denver in the US or the summer capital of the Philippines in Baguio City, both of which straddle into a mountain top about 5,000 ft or so in altitude.
As I have come to know,Sayq Plateau is a large, over 2000M plus high limestone plateau located on the Western Hajar Mountains in Oman, forming part of the coastal mountain ranges. It is part of Al Jabal Al Akhdar. Cool summer is enjoyed by the would be visitor with fresh air surrounded by breathtaking stones.
With a temperature which is much cooler, at 15-20 degrees Celsius less than on the coast, it is therefore not surprising for any backpacker to experience the coolness of the area that serves as a perfect hideaway to escape the summer heat.
Mountain trekking in Oman in the mist and rain, on the over 2000M Sayq plateau with its gargantuan canyons offers any adventurist a full package of worthwhile pleasure and alluring travel. A travel freak myself, whether in the mountains or the forest or the desert, it has been always my passion taking nice shots on the places I tread upon and explore.
Please join me as I take you for a ride to the 3 phases of the trek we did:
- The thrilling ride towards the summit.
- The Village Walk (our own short version ending at the Rose Garden)
- Reel time view of Princess Diana's Peak

Both of them are only a couple of films old in Bollywood. One tasted success in the first outing while the other faltered. But both of them are young, good looking and talented. They are coming together for a new film to be produced by Dharma Productions. We are talking about Sonam Kapoor of Saawariya and Imran Khan of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.
Sonam Kapoor went ga-ga over Imran recently. She kept praising him and said that he is one of the most beautiful and gorgeous men she has ever seen. She revealed that they are playing the lead roles in Dharma Production's next film. She also went on to say that the film would be a romantic-comedy with a great script.
Imran said that he first met Sonam at the premiere of his debut film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, in which he acted with Genelia D'Souza.
Well, Sonam and Imran fans has something to cheer about!

Edward Snowden's direct messages have been pretty lively since he joined Twitter.
Earlier this year Snowden had to ask for people to stop sending him nudes, using coded language, and occasionally lets us into the world of the strange things people send him.
The international fugitive was recently added into a group chat with some teenage girls, which writer Dave Lozo was also part of.
For most of the conversation Snowden stayed quiet, and that wouldn't have bothered the girls too much as they had no idea who he was.
The NSA whistleblower did eventually break his silence, in less explosive fashion than the broken vow that shot him to infamy, to ask the teens an important question.
"Ed", as the teens came to know him on his request, soon decided it wasn't safe for the girls and dropped this bit of information for them.
The 21st century is incredible, isn't it? When a random group of teens are in conversation with one of the best known figures of recent years, who's in exile in Moscow for leaking classified information, you just have to scratch your head and smile.
We learned a few other things from the teens. Such as:
And, crazily enough, that teenagers worry that Friends is becoming too mainstream. Y'know, Friends that first aired in 1994 and is on TV pretty much constantly throughout the day?
