Does your new iPad get too hot?
Apple's iPad has been around for two years, and a third version of the tablet only recently went on sale. There have been some users
with each generation of the iPad that the tablet overheats, or gets too hot. Some users already complain that the new iPad gets too hot in certain areas. As of now, this doesn't appear to be a widespread problem.
Like many things, "too hot" is open to interpretation. What's too hot to some users may not be an issue at all for others. Some reports from users claiming their new iPad is too hot point the corner of the unit as a location for the hotspot. At least one user reports that the iPad shut down during use a gave a message that said, "the iPad needs to cool down."
One important point from the user reporting that the iPad shut down and gave a warning message is that the user admits to using the tablet in direct sunlight at the time it shut down. It would be no surprise if the new iPad gets hot in use since it has a faster processor than previous models and larger battery. With only a few complaints so far of the tablet getting excessively hot, it's far too early to call this an issue.
An Apple store worker from a suburban Los Angeles location attributes the fact that the new iPad gets warmer than the iPad 2 specifically to the larger battery. The iPad temperature range according to the specification page ranges from 32° to 95°F. That would certainly feel warm to the touch.
"We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

Secrets are those bits and pieces of knowledge that someone does not want the world to know. When anyone thinks of secrets, they think CIA, military operations, your health records, Microsoft and the Vatican. Wait… the Vatican? The Vatican is a shining representation of what is holy-at least for Catholic believers. The Vatican is a Christian religious institution which in the last month or so was 'rocked' with scandal that the Pope's trusted personal assistant was caught with and arrested for stealing secret documents. The question that is on everyone's mind is that he could not have pulled off such a caper by himself therefore who else is behind such a heist and what was the intent? The first thing on my mind is why do churches have secrets?
The Vatican is a very public religious institution and therefore any misdeeds will be magnified. The problem is the Vatican is just a more visible example of many Christian religious institutions in which the organizations are more like a business than a place of spiritual healing. Of course no man and therefore no church is perfect but when there is something to hide in the houses of God, then there is a problem that has instantly put God out of the picture. Whatever is done in the dark should come to light is a known (paraphrased) verse in the bible. What can any church, in God's name, keep as a secret that they deemed to toxic for the believers' ears.
In the old testament, God commanded that the Arc of the Covenant be built and he ordered that specific items were to be placed inside. Back in the bible day, only select few were able to touch the arc or you would be killed instantly. The point is that even though close proximity to the arc could cost someone his life, everyone far and wide knew what was housed in that sacred box – The 10 commandments. I mean everyone knew it's 'secrets'! The devout and the heathens alike. There was no secret when it came to the Israelites religious institution, each man might have their own secrets but not the institution of God. So the real question is what in God's name could any modern day religious establishment hold much more precious than the items in the Arc of the Covenant that needs to be hidden except from a select privilege few? What?
Churches with secrets are the ultimate oxymoron. The Christian ministry was not founded on secrets and mysteries or the bible would have strategically indicated that certain things were not for the believers eyes and ears and should be guarded by a select few. Can you imagine any aspect of the Christian bible being deemed 'secret' and only for the eyes of a certain few? I recognize that many people do not question their religious institutions. I recognize that believers find it almost blasphemous to point out discrepancies or even ask questions. I recognize that many believers tend to feel and believe that attending ones church is the same as believing in God or Christianity. However, I tend to believe very differently and they are not mutually exclusive. Back in the day, the early Christians were missionaries. They were commissioned to travel, preach, and teach. The new believers congregated wherever available in order to share the new teachings and support each other. Later, church institutions (Ephesus, Laodicea etc)began to form and even Paul had to address some misleading information and questionable behaviors of the members and leaders of these new churches.
No religious institution is too holy for mistakes and correction. No church is perfect and believers need to recognize that and ask yourself if the church meets the Bible criteria not the other way around. If it does not, then feel free to question the church NOT your belief in God. The Christian churches' purpose is for spiritual enlightenment not for secret keeping, human judges, indecipherable tongue babbling nor snake charming or any such nonsense. Christianity in and of itself is a very simple concept – Love God with all your heart and might and love your fellow-man. The bible even added a few guidelines to do both. Jesus knew his Jewish heritage and traditions and he knew his Torah. However, when Jesus quoted a passage, it came from the Torah not the ever-changing traditions. Secrets are for man not for God.

The Watts Radiant ProMelt mat, a pre arranged grid mat containing snow melting wire. The mat style arrangement allows the wire to be easily laid out on the to-be-heated surface and set in place with the asphalt or concrete used to form the driveway. The heating wire itself is among the best in the industry, with high grade copper heating elements and insulation that is both corrosion and temperature resistant. The SM5024004024HW's outer jacket is durable enough to handle any jobsite and can withstand asphalt temperatures up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Product Features
Dual High-Grade Copper Heating Elements
The heating wire's heating element is made from high quality oxygen-free copper, giving the wire uncompromising heat transfer efficiency while retaining flexibility. The entire wire contains a pair of twisted heating elements which keeps the electromagnetic field generated by the wire to a minimum.
ETFE Wire Insulation with Grounding Jacket
The heating wire is enveloped in a durable ETFE insulation. This unique insulation offers significant resilience against chemical and temperature corrosion. The two wires are then bound together by a stainless steel jacket for grounding and durability purposes.
Single Power Lead
Both wires connect to the power supply with a single power lead, simplifying labor and reducing installation time.
Pre-Arranged Grid Form
The ProMelt heating wire is shaped into a grid form and secured on both sides by durable tape. This simplifies the layout of the wire, cutting hours of time out of the installation process.

Number eight Nick Easter is hoping Harlequins have learned from experience and make the next few weeks count.
Director of rugby Conor O'Shea's men return to Premiership action against Wasps on Sunday after last Friday's 35-5 LV=Cup humbling at Cardiff Blues.
They then face Newcastle Falcons, Gloucester and Worcester, knowing wins will be key to hopes of securing a top four finish in May.
Quins stumbled to home defeats to Wasps and Exeter Chiefs during the Six Nations period 12 months ago which saw them lose a little momentum going into the closing stages of a campaign that ended in a Premiership semi-final defeat at Leicester Tigers.
And Easter insists that cannot happen again.
"This is a massive period for us. We cannot afford to slip up," he said.
"This time last year we were top of the league and lost a couple of games which took some momentum out of us.
"The international periods can either help you gather momentum or it can stop you in your tracks. Our task is to finish the Six Nations period in a better place than when it began."


text: I've spent the last three, hot, muggy days clearing fields of hay. It's a yearly thing that's good for the soul, but everything about haying is backasswards. You stack from the bottom up, turn around unloading it from the top down, then restack it from the bottom up. After stacking and restacking a few dozen ton, I had a few hours to recoup this afternoon, so I chose to wet wade the coldest section of Rufus as much for the ice cold tailwater as the fishing. I didn't expect much action, but had recent intelligence from a walleye guy that one section was boiling with fish the night before last. I was hoping to catch the fish smorgasbording on the nymphs pre-hatch. Even using two different caddis patterns at a time I couldn't find any interest apart from one random strike in two hours, that I completely bungled. In s desperation move, I closed the last hour swinging streamers. I really didn't expect much there either, as I suspected the fish were holding deep in water column and current, and I was only armed with floating line. With the fly waking just below the surface, I was surprised when on my fourth step and cast my fly was crushed on the dangle near shore. It was a gorgeous wild fish, taking to the air twice in some very impressive aerial displays. It ripped line and made me proud of what lurks in these currents. I tailed the twenty incher, admiring the hues if the wild twenty inch fish. Just as I clicked the button on my phone, the fished lunged,losing me and the fly all at once. Oh well. Most of the nice wild fish I've caught this summer were camera shy. I took a few steps down and restarted the sequence. Two casts in my white streamer mysteriously disappeared. Opening the drying patch on my chest-pack I noticed a strange purple streamer that had intrigued me enough to buy it, which is rare with streamers. I prefer to tie most of my flies. I resisted the instinct to step again before I cast the new fly. Same thing, crushed on the dangle near shore. I don't think, they were holding near shore(I didn't see any holding lies when I gained highground), I think they followed the waking streamer all the way in, and chose the last second to attack. This one was a twin to the first, just a little thicker with muscle. Completely different animal though. Where the first made blistering runs, this one leaped hiiigh when hooked, ran at me, the battled it out in the shallows. I watched it try over and over to dislodge my fly by rubbing up on boulders. Somehow the barbless fly found purchase long enough to get a quick cell pic of this one. Prettier than the first, if possible. By now I was feeling the tug of time, and though I wanted one more tug in my line, I conceded defeat and beat a hasty retreat. At least it was nirvana compared to the dusty hayfields, your shirt so soaked with sweat it looks like you took a swim with you clothes on. I suspect a great caddis hatch is happening just below my house as I type this, but I have no intention(or ambition) to go back.

Anxiety Assessment Intervention in Dental Patients (ANXDEN)

- How to Read a Study Record
Dental anxiety is a significant barrier to the acceptance of regular dental care, and has many negative consequences. A study by Dailey et al. (2002) found that providing the dentist with information of the high level of a patient's dental anxiety prior to treatment using the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS, Humphris et al., 1995), lead to a significant reduction in state anxiety from pre- to post- dental consultation compared to a control group. The current study aimed to replicate the study by Dailey et al. (2002), and to further explore whether the reduction in state anxiety associated with the MDAS could be explained by a change in dentist behaviour on receiving it, or a change in patient expectancy about the treatment session, or both.
The design was a randomised control trial involving three groups, which aimed to manipulate possible changes in dentist behaviour and patient expectancy. In Group 1, the MDAS was left at reception, as expected by the patient. In Group 2, the dentist received the MDAS, although the patient did not expect this. In Group 3 the dentist received the MDAS and the patient did expect this. The sample (N=182) was taken from two dental access centres, and included participants obtaining a score of 19 or above, or 5 on any one item of the MDAS. Pre- and post-dental consultation measures of state anxiety were taken using the six-item short-form of the state scale of the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S, Marteau & Bekker, 1992).

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Dentist behaviour
Patient completes the MDAS which is handed to receptionist who then gives the information to the dentist with patient knowledge
Behavioral: Information to health provider without patient knowledge
The intervention consists of the assessment information from the MDAS questionnaire being given to the dentist via the receptionist without the knowledge of the patient
Experimental: Dentist behaviour and patient expectancy
Patient completes the MDAS and hands to the dentist
Behavioral: dentist behaviour and patient expectancy
patient give information about their dental anxiety to the dentist
Detailed Description:
The aim of the current study was to compare the degree of anxiety reduction in dentally anxious patients attending a Dental Access Center where the dentist did or did not receive the patients' assessment of dental anxiety.
METHODS Design of study A three group pre-and post-test design was adopted, a control group (Group1: patient completed the MDAS (Modified Dental Anxiety Scale) questionnaire and handed it to the receptionist) and the experimental group where the patient handed the MDAS to the dentist (Group 3). An additional group was included (Group 2). Patients completed the MDAS and handed it to the receptionist whereupon it was given to the dentist contrary to patient expectation. The dental staff were kept blind to the actual design of the study. The Local Research and Ethics Committee approved the study.
Test the hypothesis that patients sharing assessment information about their dental anxiety to members of the dental team has beneficial effects on their state anxiety.
Randomisation A block randomisation schedule was computer generated by University of Manchester statistician (BT). Pre-sealed opaque envelopes that contained questionnaires specific to the three groups were prepared by a colleague to minimise selection bias. All materials were pre-coded with the participant number.
Dental Access Centers provide: general dental services to those who are not registered with a NHS dentist, NHS patient charges and receipt of easily available treatment and advice (appointment not always necessary). The study was conducted at two Greater Manchester Dental Access Centers. These sites offered treatment to emergency dental patients who were more likely to become dentally anxious than regular attenders (Maggirias and Locker, 2002) . Participants were volunteers recruited, from October 2003 to April 2004.

Newly elected Congressman Jared Huffman visited the area last Friday, dropping in on a biomass meeting at the Mendocino County Museum for a briefing before attending the Redwood Empire Division meeting of the League of California Cities.
Huffman has already had several tough votes since the January start of his freshman year in Congress. He says his toughest vote so far was the vote in favor of the Continuing Appropriations Act.
"It is still a bad funding package," says Huffman. "But it was the choice between that and a government shutdown Sometimes you hold your nose and vote for a flawed bill."
Huffman voted against the first bill, but decided to vote for the second round after a few cuts, such as the meat inspectors, were added back in. He expressed hopefulness about future budget votes, once the full effects of sequestration are felt across the county. This bill only pushes the issue into September when Congress will need to address the nation's funding again.
Huffman voted against the longer term funding resolution which would lock in the current heavy cuts. "The Republican budget resolution does not honor our commitment to seniors; it does not focus on jobs and economic growth; it would devastate our safety net; and it would end health care reform, which is so vital for our families and for the long-term economic health of our nation," he says.
Huffman encourages his constituents to contact him to voice their views.
Huffman now has an office in Fort Bragg and is hopeful to soon have an office in Ukiah. Constituents can call the Fort Bragg office at 962-0933 with questions, opinions or problems. His Washington DC office can be reached (202) 225-5161.
Huffman's website offers a wide variety of information about the congressman, his votes and how to provide feedback or sign up for an online newsletter at huffman.house.gov/
He is also tweeting at @RepHuffman and is available on two Facebook pages, his formal www.facebook.com/RepHuffman and his personal page at www.facebook.com/jared.huffman.9.
Huffman expects to hold future phone-in townhall meetings on key subjects in the future.

Assistance and guidance for women in a multitude of automotive topics will be offered. "This has become a great tradition for our show," said Auto Show Chairman Bob Loquercio. "Many of our exhibitors will offer special Women's Day seminars to help female customers be better equipped to make their transportation decisions. From the Chicago Auto Show side of the day, we'll open our doors to all women for half off the regular $10 admission fee for a ticket." "We're also thrilled," said Loqercio, "to partner with Mother Proof, which will present not only its first-ever awards, but also a series of seminars for women it has crafted to run throughout the day. Whether the topic is safety, maintenance, car care or negotiation, the day's seminars and programs will help inform women and make them feel more comfortable about the process." To many women, selecting a vehicle that's right for them can be an overwhelming process. But not to Kristin Varela, chief mom and senior editor at Mother Proof, a car review Web site dedicated to helping women and mothers navigate the automotive world's features most important to them and their families. The site is www.motherproof.com. Varela and her team of mom-reviewers are bringing that advice from the Web to the Chicago Auto Show, where they will be on hand at the show to offer female attendees their unique perspective. At this year's show, Mother Proof will present the Mama Said Cafe, a casual, coffee-shop like exhibit that will showcase the website's picks for the top, new family vehicles for 2008 while treating attendees to expert advice, interactive games, free coffee and an interactive kids play area. "Women purchase 53 percent of new cars and influence 85 percent of all car sales decisions. But by and large, automotive reviews and car buying advice is still generated by men and often geared to automotive enthusiasts" said Varela. "The women of Mother Proof are excited to share their perspective, from one woman consumer to another, in a relaxed and inviting café environment at the Chicago Auto Show. That's what our site is all about, sharing advice, one girlfriend to another." Mother Proof's activities kick-off with presentation of the 2008 Mother Proof awards, followed by a complete day of programming, including a line-up of industry experts who will share car buying tips and safety information. Topics will include tips on raising a responsible teen-age driver, trends in car design and color and things to research before walking into a showroom. Kids don't need to take a backseat at the Mama Said Café. A vehicle design expert from Chrysler will be on hand to inspire budding design talent, teaching kids to draw and design their own vehicles. Mama Said Café Event Schedule: Developed in conjunction with the Chicago Auto Show, the Mama Said Café will present a complete day of programming aimed at women and their families. 10:30 a.m. - Motherproof.com 2008 Awards Presentation - Mother Proof will recognize this year's best vehicles for families. Selection is based on criteria including ease and exit for all passengers, latch connector usability, ease of seat belts for kids in booster seats and other family friendly features. 12:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. - Teresa Spafford, Lead Designer, Color and Materials, Mazda North America - "Designing Cars with Women in Mind " 1 and 6 p.m. - Janette Fennell, Kids and Cars - "Protecting Your Kids from Non-Traffic Motor Vehicle Tragedies" 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. - Joni Stuker, Her Car Matters - "Car-buying Negotiation Tips for Women" 2 and 4 p.m. - Suzanne Johnson, OnStar -"The Must-have Car Security and Safety Feature That Can Save Your Life" 5 and 7 p.m. - Steve Tepper and Jeff Payne, Driver's Edge - "Raising Your Teen-ager To Be a Responsible Driver" 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. - Dan Irvin, Kids Safety First - "Simple Safety Tips to Keep Children of All Ages Secure on the Road" Back to News

Mendocino County Sheriff K-9 Officer Argus died in a fall Friday while off duty. Argus was a two year old German shepherd assigned with MCSO Deputy Craig Walker for approximately six months prior to his death.
"Argus will be missed not only by his handler and immediate family, but by everyone in the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office. Argus will be remembered as devoted, courageous, and loyal," says MCSO Lt. Shannon Barney.
Just before noon Friday, Argus was at home when he apparently escaped from Walker's enclosed back yard. When Walker noticed he was missing he called to Argus. Argus had wandered onto the roof of a nearby building. When he was called he jumped 30 feet to his death, according to Barney.
"Argus assisted Deputy Walker on his patrol duties in the Anderson Valley resident post providing handler protection duties, fugitive apprehension and drug detection," says Barney. Argus was imported to the United States from Slovakia.
While Argus had only been with the department for six months, he had already become a fixture in Anderson Valley.
"Argus made a recent visit to the Anderson Valley School District where the students met him and learned about the K-9 duties related to law enforcement. Argus was a big hit with the school children and all who met him," says Barney.
Argus is the second MCSO K-9 deputy to die the recent months. K-9 Deputy Morgan died in August from ingesting methamphetamine during a training exercise.
A young dog with the appropriate temperament and physical condition before training will cost at least $8,500. A fully trained dog can cost $25,000 and are typically purchased through donations. The MCSO program concentrates on starting out with young dogs under a year old. Most K-9s are males, as they are typically more aggressive.
"The Sheriff's Office will be seeking to obtain another K-9 to partner with Deputy Walker to meet the law enforcement needs of the citizens in Anderson Valley and surrounding areas," says Barney.

Grilled cheese seems like the perfect food. It's easy to make, has few ingredients and sports a crispy crust and a warm, gooey, cheesy center. What's not to love? How about the 410 calories and 18 grams of saturated fat per sandwich? I don't love that. Grilled cheese can attribute its high fat and calories to the butter spread on the outside of the bread to make it crispy and the copious amounts of cheese in the middle. Pair that with a couple of slices of plain white bread and you have a nutritional disaster.
But do you really need all of that to make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich? No! Here are 5 secrets for how to make grilled cheese that saves calories and fat to boot.
Don't Miss: 10 Secrets to Healthier Cooking [7]
1. Pick the right cheese: When it comes to grilled cheese, not all cheese is created equal. Some people love American cheese. It has superior melting qualities, but it falls short on flavor (not to mention that it's not even really cheese to begin with). So skip mild-flavored cheeses and opt for ones with a stronger flavor—like sharp, or even extra-sharp, Cheddar. Like blue cheese? It's also a great option. You'll get more bang for your buck and because it's big on flavor you won't have to use as much, which helps cut fat and calories.
Recipes to Try: Classic Lasagna and More Comfort Food Dishes to Put Back in Your Diet [8]
2. Think beyond cheese for flavor: OK, so cheese is a necessary ingredient. But you don't have to have mounds of it to make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich. You can get that hit of soft melted loveliness that cheese contributes by using just a little—and mixing it with other ingredients like mashed beans or even salsa and hot chiles. They not only contribute their own unique flavor, but they help carry the benefits of the cheese, the salty ooey-gooey factor, without lots of fat and calories.
3. Choose better bread: Conjure an iconic image of grilled cheese in your mind and it more than likely is made with white bread. But whole-grain breads are great for grilled cheese too. If you upgrade to a slightly fancier, country-style loaf (not typical sandwich bread wrapped in plastic) you'll get better flavor, more bite and a crisper crust—not to mention added fiber.

4. Master a crispy crust: Grilled cheese is actually a misnomer. It should be called "fried cheese sandwich" since it's slathered in fat and not actually grilled. The butter does play a role in creating that nice golden outer crust, but you can get that without adding fat. How? Use a panini maker. The hot surface compresses the bread, helping it crisp up naturally. Don't have a panini maker? No problem. You can mimic a panini press at home. Here's how: Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place a sandwich in the pan. Place another medium skillet on top of the sandwich, then weight it down with cans. Cook until golden on one side, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, flip the sandwich, replace the top skillet and cans, and cook until the second side is golden, 1 to 3 minutes more.

5. Know that everything isn't better with butter: The butter on the outside of a grilled cheese sandwich not only crisps up the crust, but gives it richness as well. But since grilled cheese is already rich (Hello! The cheese!), you really don't need butter for the flavor either. Instead, experiment with creamy spreads you put inside that are lower in fat, such as reduced-fat mayonnaise with a squeeze of lemon or reduced-fat sour cream mixed with chopped fresh herbs. They'll add that silky mouthfeel and sense of richness you may be missing without the butter (plus some added flavor of their own!), but with less fat and calories.

Topic: New to the Site
Hi -
Before even introductions, I must say I am overwhelmed by the amount of knowledge, research, support, love and passion I have seen on this site for the couple of weeks since I first discovered it. I realize now how little I know, and how much I still have to question and learn.
I'm Sandy and my partner and the love of my life (25 years and father of our beautiful 23 y/o daughter) was diagnosed in May with CC. This after a long and painful run around as our primary care physician was convinced this was a parasite - we eventually were laughed out of the office of an Infectious Disease specialist who told us a 9cm tumor on an MRI was clearly not a parasite. A needless battery of tests and then finally the biopsy confirming the CC. At this point, completely confined to the liver. Since then we have consulted with several surgeons and oncologists - all said they could not remove the mass because in addition to the large tumor there were also a number of satellite tumors on the other side of the liver. They recommended systemic chemo - a combination of 2 - all confirming there was no cure and offering slim odds.
Dave is a very fit, strong 61 year old, never sick a day in his life so all this was devastating and hard to process. No jaundice, no weight loss, only some discomfort around the abdominal area where the tumor was pressing.
Then we met Dr. Fong at MSKCC, the most extraordinary man, who at least gave us hope. He proposed a combination of surgery and implanting a pump to deliver chemo directly to the liver as our best odds. Initially he thought he could surgically re-sect the liver but the CatScan taken the day prior to surgery showed for the first time a spot on Dave's lung (endoscopies, colonoscopies, had all been clean). He felt that with that, the size of the mass and inability to get clean margins, and the extensive spread of the satellite tumors to the other side of the liver, surgery to remove the primary mass was no longer an option. He would move forward with the surgery to position the pump.
He performed surgery on June 24 - upon going in he discovered some lesions around the liver, halted the surgery and had the lab look at them - they proved to be benign so he moved forward with positioning the pump, and while he was at it, killing off as many of the satellites as he could see.
The recovery has been very very hard. The hurry up and wait part being the worst, as we were told we would have to wait several weeks before beginning the chemo- all the while knowing the cancers could be growing and spreading with nothing being done to stop them. We also were told that due to the spot on the lung, we would need to also be doing systemic chemo in addition to the pump to attack the spread. In addition to discomfort from the surgery, the worst seems to be fevers and constant drenching sweats, inability to sleep,and loss of appetite.
Tomorrow is our first post surgery follow-up with Dr Fong. Immediately after we meet Dr. Kemeny for the first time,the oncologist who will be managing the chemo. We went in Thursday for another CatScan so I imagine we will also learn the most current status of any other spread.

Kiddie Soiree: Zoo Themed Parties
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! It's your babe's birthday and she just loves animals or maybe you're one of those uber moms that has hired a petting zoo. Either way, there are some great zoo inspired products that are sure to make your kid's party a hit.
- Decorate the room with striped and spotted zebra and leopard balloons. Tie them to backs of chairs, party favor boxes, and leave them hovering from the ceiling.
To see more zoo themed party ideas,
- Buy some adorable zoo sipping cups that the kids can take home as a treat. Twelve dollars for a dozen reusable cups will make both frugal and posh parents happy.
- Hang a zebra piñata ($17) and let the tots have a fun time trying to get the candy out of the striped friend. You can also choose from monkeys, hippos, and other zoo creatures.
- Another fun activity for the kids would be playing Feed the Monkey. You can rent this game from local party stores or national renters but you could also try to be creative and make your own as well. The goal is to have the kids throw fake bananas into the monkey's "mouth".
- And for party favors, the possibilities are endless. Kids will be twiddling their fingers playing with these vinyl animal finger puppets ($5 for 6 puppets). If you want something that is sure to be a hit at the party and at bath time, pass out Animal Bubbles ($7 for 24). Throw all the beastly paraphernalia into these cute party favor boxes ($4 for a dozen) and send those munchkins on their way.
At the end of the day, your lil bear will be tuckered out and ready to hibernate for a very long nap.

THREE veteran sporting heroes made a good start to the season at the Taunton Deane Aquathlon as part of their build-up to the European Triathlon Championships in June.
Ron White, who lives in Wotton, won the Super vintage category (60+) in the sprint distance event, 500m swim in the local pool followed by a 5k run, in the time of 33 minutes 44 seconds.
Olveston-based Jon Greenwood won the super vintage category in the long distance race, a 1,000k swim followed by a very hilly 10k run, in the time of one hour, three minutes, 56seconds.
Jane Leslie, who lives in Easter Compton, came second in her super vintage category in the long race in a time of 1:10:44, winning the swim section but outrun on the 10k.
All three athletes will be representing Great Britain in Kitzbuhel at the European Triathlon Championships, White in the sprint distance event (750m swim, 20k bike and 5k run), with Greenwood and Leslie in the Olympic distance event (1500m swim, 40k bike and 10k run).
White has been an inspiration to all his fellow athletes having had a total hip replacement in April 2013, and determinedly fighting his way back to fitness in the past months.
This was his first win since the operation and bodes well for the future.
The trio train at Tockington Manor swimming pool with a small group of competitive masters swimmers, as well as at Yate Leisure Centre.
Three Thornbury Running Club members also took part.
Andrew Darton chose the long course, finishing fifth in the senior male category in 57:45.
Sandra Webber and Richard Phillips did the short course and both came second in their age categories; Phillips having third quickest swim of the day in 7:22, and an overall time of 30:06, while Webber put in two good performances to finish in 37:06.

A while back, I tried my hand at a pretty simple home brew kit, Mister Beer Bottle Brew.
Toss a yeast pill in a bottle of fresh beer mix and in a couple of weeks, you have yourself some delicious suds.
Except, it didn't go as well as hoped. Kind of flat; not very flavourful.
But after some backlash from fans of the product and some positive PR from the company president, I gave Mister Beer another try.
The results? Mixed, but much better.
Mister Beer sent a selection of all of their beers, Red, Blonde, Cerveza, Pilsner, and Brown. Fellow Scoundrel Shawn Logan gave the Brown Ale a try, while honorary Scoundrel and Beer lover Dave Naylor, a fan of red and copper beers, was giving the Red Lager a try.
I took home the Blonde, the Cerveza and the Pilsner. And I liked them in that order as well.
Knowing that 14 days in my cooler-temperature townhouse wasn't enough, I let all of them sit four full weeks fermenting. It may have been overkill, but I didn't want results similar to my previous attempt.
In addition to the yeast pill, the Pilsner came with a "hop flavouring" capsule. Thinking "I love hoppy beer," I opted to give it a try.
When it was finished, the beer had a clean, crisp taste, and a decent bitter note on the finish, but left almost a metallic aftertaste that, after sampling the other two varieties, I can only assume is from the hop pill. Were I to buy this one again, I would opt against the additive if I tried it again.
The Cerveza was serviceable, a decent drinking beer, with a frothy head, light amber in colour and a crisp finish. Not my favourite of the bunch, but it was OK.
The Blonde, meanwhile, was the standout. More flavourful than I expected for such a light-coloured beer, with lemon notes, even a little apple, the right amount of sweetness and a crisp finish. I'm glad I opted against the lime flavouring pill that came with this one too, given how the hop pill turned out for me. Even if it didn't detract from how the Blonde presented itself, I don't think this one needs any help. This would be my recommendation, and one I'd buy in the future.
But I still think the directions could be a little more clear, to indicate, that if you want your beer done in the two weeks, it needs to be kept at 25-28C and if you keep your house at 18-20C, as do a lot of people, it could take upwards of four weeks.

The Buddha points to two mental qualities as the underlying safeguards of morality, thus as the protectors of both the individual and society as a whole. These two qualities are called in Pali hiri and ottappa. Hiri is an innate sense of shame over moral transgression; ottappa is moral dread, fear of the results of wrongdoing. The Buddha calls these two states the bright guardians of the world (sukka lokapala). He gives them this designation because as long as these two states prevail in people's hearts the moral standards of the world remain intact, while when their influence wanes the human world falls into unabashed promiscuity and violence, becoming almost indistinguishable from the animal realm (Itiv. 42) (http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/auth ... ay_23.html).

And so you're not dumping on yourself because you're a bad person but saying "I made a mistake. That is not up to my standards." So it that case the shame is not debilitating. It actually helps you to reflect on what you did wrong.

Tillman bests Tanaka as O's take series in NY
Righty tosses seven scoreless innings as Schoop, Hardy pace offense
NEW YORK -- Orioles 2, Tanaka 0.
Yankees ace Masahiro Tanaka -- highly billed as the frontrunner for both the American League Rookie of the Year Award and the AL Cy Young Award -- entered Sunday's game with an impressive body of work that included an 11-1 record with a superhuman 1.99 ERA.
But Baltimore appears to be his Kryptonite. Led by a stellar seven-inning outing from starter Chris Tillman and two RBIs from second baseman Jonathan Schoop, the Orioles used a four-run eighth to put away the Yankees en route to an 8-0 win and a series victory in front of a sellout crowd at Yankee Stadium.
Tanaka, who went seven innings and still turned in a quality start, has pitched in 15 games since signing a $155 million contract this past offseason, and the Yankees have lost just three of those contests. Two have been against the Orioles.
"It means a lot because we were 1-1 [in the series]," Schoop said of beating Tanaka and giving the Orioles their third consecutive road series win for the first time since July-August 2012. "We respect him, and I hope he respects us, too."
The Orioles (39-35), who moved into a second-place tie with the Yankees (39-35), showed their moxie after a walk-off loss on Friday night. Baltimore -- which is 1 1/2 games back of Toronto -- outscored New York, 14-1, in the final two games of the series, with Sunday's win the O's second-largest margin of victory this season. The largest was also in New York in April.
"One of the qualities of good teams that are playing in the postseason is that they're competitive on the road," manager Buck Showalter said following his club's 4-2 road trip. "We know how good they are. One thing you know when you face Tanaka is you're going to have to have a well pitched game by you to be in the ballgame. I thought our guys did a great job of grinding it and making him earn everything. He's some kind of a pitcher. We were fortunate today to catch him on a day when he wasn't as sharp as he normally is."
Schoop, who homered in Tanaka's last start against Baltimore, went deep again in the second inning to put the O's on the board. The Orioles increased their lead in the seventh thanks to some productive outs from Schoop and catcher Caleb Joseph. After shortstop J.J. Hardy singled and moved to third on Manny Machado's double, Schoop's groundout scored a run and Joseph -- who hit his first career Major League homer in the ninth -- delivered a sacrifice fly.
"I started out with giving up the home run, and after that I felt that I battled pretty well," Tanaka said through his interpreter. "But at the end I gave up two more runs, which cost us the game. And I feel that I kind of let the game go there."
Tillman took it from there, turning in his third consecutive quality start while holding the Yankees to four hits and four walks. He got a huge break on an overturned call that led to Brett Gardner being called out at third base to open the bottom of the first inning and rode that momentum into a dominant afternoon.
"It's coming, it's definitely coming," Tillman said of getting back on the right track. "Still have a lot of baseball left, a lot of starts left, and you always want to improve every time. The second you get comfortable, they'll knock you right on the butt, so you've got to stay focused and keep working."
Tillman, who threw 114 pitches, has turned in back-to-back starts of seven or more innings for the first time since April 6 and April 11, and his stellar outing lowered the O's starers' ERA in the weekend series to 1.02.
"You can tell he was carrying a good fastball early, borderline pitches," Showalter said of Tillman, who improved to 6-0 on the road this season. "He was without his curveball until the fifth inning. That made it a little different. I thought the changeup got him a couple of outs he needed. I thought physically he was prepared to go 110, 120 pitches. He was in a real good delivery."
Baltimore put the game out of reach in the eighth, scoring four runs off reliever Adam Warren and using a big break on the basepaths to its advantage. After singles from Steve Pearce and Adam Jones to start things off, Nelson Cruz hit a ground ball to third baseman Kelly Johnson, who stepped on the bag but was tripped up by a sliding Pearce and watched his throw sail into the stands. Yankees manager Joe Girardi came out to argue interference on the play, with Pearce sliding a good distance from the base, but the call stood as an error on Johnson, as Cruz and Jones moved up to second and third.
"When I saw the replay, I was like, 'Man, I was far away [from the bag],' Pearce said. "But like I said, I was not trying to hurt Kelly over there. I was just trying to break up the double play."
Warren intentionally walked Chris Davis to load the bases and Hardy made it hurt with a three-run double. Machado singled in another run and, two innings later, Joseph delivered his first big league long ball.
"It was awesome," Tillman said of watching Joseph go deep. "I was screaming like a little girl in the clubhouse I was so happy for him. I've been playing with him for a while, so it's awesome to see. Glad the fan threw the ball back."
Added Joseph: "To do it in Yankee Stadium, such a historic place, more than hitting the home run, it's taking two out of three against the Yankees and gaining some leverage. Winning in this atmosphere makes it even more sweet."

ESPN also lists him at GF.
He began to get minutes as replacement for the injured Dwayne Wade, starting at SG. Then Wade returned and he bumped out Dorrell Wright at starting SF. Strictly a perimeter player.

Optimized to minimize resource consumption
Optimized detection and scanning technology inside Cloud Security for Endpoints by Bitdefender Minimizes the system's memory footprint. Together with the silent security philosophy, this ensures that business data and systems are protected without users noticing or taking any action. The impact of Cloud Security for Endpoints on network traffic is also minimized as new product or signature updates can be propagated with small, incremental updates and optimized local update distribution options are available.
Advanced protection through proactive detection
Bitdefender provides organizations with multiple levels of advanced protection: Antivirus, Antispyware, Anti-Phishing, Trojan / Rootkit detection and a fully featured two-way personal Firewall with intrusion detection. Cloud Security for Endpoints also includes an innovative and proactive detection technology called Bitdefender Active Virus Control which leverages advanced heuristic methods to detect new potential threats in real time. Unlike typical heuristic technologies which are limited to checking files when they are accessed or first started, Active Virus Control monitors all application activity throughout the lifecycle of the application processes. Productivity and protection are enhanced through centralized configurable security policies that can be used to remotely control user access to local applications, block access to certain websites or restrict Internet access within certain time intervals.
First, a traditional scanning method is employed where scanned content is matched against the signature database. The signature database contains byte patterns specific to known threats and is regularly updated by Bitdefender. This scanning method is effective against confirmed threats that have been researched and documented. However, no matter how promptly the signature database is updated, there is always a vulnerability window between the time when a new threat is discovered and when a fix is released.
Against brand-new, undocumented threats, a second layer of protection is provided by B-HAVE, Bitdefender's heuristic engine. Heuristic algorithms detect malware based on behavioral characteristics. B-HAVE runs suspected malware in a virtual environment to test its impact on the system and ensure it poses no threat. If a threat is detected, the program is prevented from running.
For threats that elude even the heuristic engine, a third layer of protection is present in the form of Active Virus Control (AVC). Active Virus Control continuously monitors running processes and grades suspicious behaviors such as attempts to: disguise the type of process, execute code in another process's space (hijack process memory for privilege escalation), replicate, drop files, hide from process enumeration applications, etc. Each suspicious behavior raises the process rating. When a threshold is reached, an alarm is triggered.
Cloud Security for Endpoints protects against several types of malware, including:
Viruses - A computer virus is a computer program that self-replicates when executed, often while being concealed inside legitimate executable files, boot records, script files, document macros, etc. Besides self-replication, many viruses also carry a payload, meaning they also perform malicious actions on the host system like: destroying or corrupting data, displaying insulting or annoying messages, altering normal application behavior, installing trojans or spyware, etc. Worms - Computer worms are also self-replicating computer programs that may carry malicious payloads. They differ from viruses in that they are standalone computer programs and have the ability to spread automatically, usually via computer networks.
Trojans - Trojans are computer programs that expose the host system to attackers, hence the name. Typical payloads include: opening backdoors (methods of bypassing authentication, stealing data, hijacking the system for spamming or Denial of Service attacks, spying on the user, etc. Unlike viruses and worms, trojans don't self-replicate.
Spyware - Spyware designates computer programs that covertly collect information about the user and transmit it to a third party. Spyware is often distributed as part of desirable software such as free utilities which perform spying activities on their users in addition to their advertised purpose.
Adware programs are software packages that display unsolicited advertising in the form of pop-ups, or by corrupting the graphical user interface of various applications, notably web browsers. Like spyware, they are often bundled with other types of more or less useful software.
Keyloggers monitor the user's keyboard key presses. Although there are legitimate applications for keyloggers, they are often used by hackers to extract confidential information such as credentials, credit card numbers, addresses, etc. They are usually distributed through a trojan or virus.
Rootkits - Rootkits are system drivers which modify the operating system's behaviour for various purposes. Just like keyloggers, they may have beneficial functionalities, but are also frequently used for harmful actions such as: concealing malicious software, preventing malware disinfection, enabling privilege escalation for unauthorized users, opening backdoors, etc. Because they corrupt the operating system's low level functions, once installed, rootkits are notoriously difficult to detect and remove.
The Anti-Phishing module provides warnings and protection against website forgery/spoofing and against Internet frauds. The Anti-Phishing module has three components:
Anti-Phishing protection automatically blocks known phishing (website forgery/spoofing) web pages to prevent users from inadvertently disclosing private or confidential information to online fraudsters. In addition to website forgery, other types of Internet frauds may be suppressed such as: purchase frauds, get-rich-quick scams, Internet marketing frauds, click frauds, etc. Instead of the malicious web page, a special warning page is displayed in the browser to inform the user that the requested web page is dangerous.
Bitdefender toolbar
The Bitdefender toolbar informs users about the security rating of the web pages they are viewing. By clicking a small dragger at the top of the browser window, users can see if the currently displayed page is either: safe, suspect or unsafe. The Search advisor rates search engine results and Facebook/Twitter links, by placing an icon in front of every result. Icons indicate if the link leads to a safe, suspect or unsafe page.
There are two types of threats contained by Cloud Security for Endpoints Anti-Phishing protection:
Spoofing - Web site forgery (spoofing) consists of malicious web sites attempting to impersonate legitimate ones for fraudulent reasons such as collecting user credentials or credit card information.
Internet frauds - Sites that do not assume false identities, but instead try to appear as honorable businesses and profit by tricking people into various scams such as:
Purchase frauds - Online vendors who don't actually deliver the advertised products
Financial frauds - Such as those originating from false financial institutions Get-rich-quick-scams - Such as Ponzi schemes, work-at-home schemes or other "business-opportunity" schemes Internet marketing frauds - Malicious sites that harvest credit card information under various pretexts such as age verification or by selling dubious health products
Click frauds - Sites that deceive visitors into clicking links that lead to different destinations than the ones advertised Unethical dissemination - Domains that have been promoted using spam, blog comment spam, click frauds, social media scams or other dishonest methods
Firewall and Intrusion Detection
The firewall and the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) protect the system from network threats:
The Firewall controls applications' access to network resources/services and to the Internet. A comprehensive database of known, legitimate applications can be automatically allowed access. Furthermore, the firewall can protect the system against port scans, restrict ICS and warn when new nodes join a Wi-Fi connection.
The Intrusion Detection System protects the system from specific actions with malicious potential such as: dll injections, installation of malware drivers, and alteration of Bitdefender files by 3rd party applications, Internet Explorer exploits or keylogging attempts. The Data Protection module prevents users from unwittingly revealing specific confidential information by scanning outgoing email (SMTP) and web (HTTP) traffic and blocking predefined text strings from being sent. These text strings may include sensitive data such as: account names, names for in-development products or technologies, contact information for company executives, etc. There are usually two scenarios for this type of exposure:
Social engineering - This happens when another party actively attempts to deceive someone inside the company into revealing confidential information by techniques such as: impersonating co-workers or authorities, staging false situations or otherwise manipulating the victim to act in the social engineer's interest.
Accidental data leaks - In these scenarios, the user is divulging confidential information out of negligence, without being enticed in any way by the recipient.
Although this is not a deliberate data theft attempt, the consequences can be just as severe.
User Control
The User Control module restricts user's access to Internet and to applications either completely or based on a schedule. Online access restrictions can also be applied for: specific addresses, HTTP or SMTP traffic containing certain keywords, or for predefined Web site categories. There are over 30 types of websites that can be restricted including those providing: gambling, mature content, social networking, file sharing, online gaming, etc. The User Control module helps enforce company policies related to Web access, thus preventing productivity losses caused by employee idling and reducing data traffic costs.

I have been practicing the Mahasi method for a while, and recently had the interesting experience of seeing colord swirling lights (eyes closed, so internal). It was accompanied by a feeling of being somehow disconnected with bodily aches and pains.
My concern is that, even though it was a pleasant experience, I might be getting into one-pointed concentration and drifting away from insight oriented meditation.
Can anyone here address my concerns?

Measuring the economy rate of a batsman relative to the average economy rates in every match he plays in is an idea pioneered at Impact Index. This number, between 0 and 5, taken across a career, provides the clearest picture of the impact a batsman had on account of his economy rate.
So, the varying standards of its time (when the analysis is done across eras) or of the conditions (say, the tournament economy rate during IPL 2 at South Africa would be different from the tournament economy rate in other years due to the conditions) is taken care of in this system, and therefore provides the truest picture as far as economy rate comparisons go.
Here are the bowlers with the highest Economy Rate IMPACT numbers over the last 4 years of IPL (minimum 15 matches).
1. R Ashwin (Economy IMPACT 0.99, 29 matches)
2. M Muralitharan (0.91, 45)
3. SL Malinga (0.69, 42)
4. DL Vettori (0.67, 25)
5. DW Steyn (0.64, 40)
Ravichandran Ashwin's hallmark as a bowler in this format is the impact he makes by restricting runs.
Muttiah Muralitharan is the only bowler who comes close to Ashwin's ability to choke runs. It is not a coincidence that they played for the same side – CSK – which has been the highest impact side in IPL history.
Lasith Malinga is notable for his ability to take wickets (especially demolishing the lower-order) but in this format, the inability of batsmen to score freely off him is his key differentiator.
Daniel Vettori is by a distance the most successful non-subcontinental spinner in the IPL, and his Economy IMPACT his most significant quality.
Dale Steyn - one would expect him to always be a serious wicket-taking bowler, but in this format, he is not. It is his outstanding Economy IMPACT that makes him significant.
It is interesting how the first two bowlers are so close to each other and the next three in a distinct cluster too in terms of Economy IMPACT numbers. It is also curious how lethal wicket-taking bowlers in other formats, like Muralitharan, Malinga and Steyn, make a mark in this format more for their ability to restrict batsmen from scoring.
The 10 highest impact Economy Impact performances in IPL history:
1) SM Pollock 3 for 12 in 4 overs v Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai, 2008 – Economy IMPACT 4.06
MI strangling KKR comprehensively for 67 all out in 16 overs had a lot to do with Pollock's quintessentially measly bowling – as he set the tone right from the beginning. When MI batted, Jayasuriya's 48 in 17 balls further added weight to Pollock's bowling.
2) SM Pollock 1 for 9 in 4 overs Chennai Super Kings in Mumbai, 2008 – Economy IMPACT 3.88
The Pollock-Jayasuriya combo again. CSK's ostensibly respectable total of 156 had 4 overs of Pollock magic, as only 9 runs could be scored off them. Achieving this right at the top had its impact on CSK – the total was nowhere near enough on this pitch - MI knocked off the runs 14 overs, with Jayasuriya making 114 in 48 balls.
3) FH Edwards 0 for 6 in 4 overs v Kolkata Knight Riders in Cape Town, 2009 – Economy IMPACT 3.88
Fidel Edwards opened the bowling, took no wickets but KKR finished at just 101. He bowled just one maiden over, but in the remaining three overs, he gave away just 6 runs. DC knocked off the runs in 14 overs, which further provided context to Edwards' outstanding performance.
4) BJ Hodge 4 for 13 in 4 overs v Rajasthan Royals in Indore, 2011 – Economy IMPACT 3.56
A remarkable all-round performance from Brad Hodge resulted in the biggest victory KTK achieved in their short IPL existence. RR were knocked out for 97 in 14 overs – in 4 of which they were traumatised by Hodge's off-breaks – and a batting line-up consisting of Dravid, Watson and Rahane just collapsed without a fight, as Hodge ran through the middle-order.
5) RP Singh 2 for 15 in 4 overs Mumbai Indians in Mumbai, 2008 – Economy IMPACT 3.40
MI managed 154 in their 20 overs, with a standout bowling performance from RP Singh – he was just impossible to get away. Adam Gilchrist made a mockery of the total with a 109 off 47 balls, off bowlers like Pollock, Nehra, Bravo and Jayasuriya, which made RP Singh's effort even more commendable.
6) R Sharma 2 for 7 in 4 overs v Mumbai Indians in Mumbai, 2011 – Economy IMPACT 3.38
MI's score of 160 on a DY Patil pitch would prove to be more than adequate – which made Rahul Sharma's bowling effort even more creditable. With batsmen like Blizzard, Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, Pollard and Symonds in front of him, Sharma managed to give away just 7 runs.
7) A Nehra 1 for 6 in 4 overs v Kings XI Punjab in Bloemfontein, 2009 – Economy IMPACT 3.34
On a helpful Bloemfontein pitch, a powerful DD line-up was restricted to just 120. Then, Sangakkara played a captain's innings as KXIP won in the last over. Nehra's spell of 1-6 in 4 overs was not even remotely matched by any other bowler in his team, otherwise the story might have been different.
8) IK Pathan 1 for 10 in 4 overs v Rajasthan Royals in Chandigarh, 2008 – Economy IMPACT 3.30
After a rollicking 221-3 by KXIP, RR would have hoped for a good start. Irfan Pathan's bowling at the top put paid to that. Eventually he was the one bowler they could not get away (in fact, the only bowler in the match who gave less than 7 runs an over). Pathan's impact was considerable – in fact, despite taking just 1 wicket, his bowling impact crossed 4 comfortably – not a common occurrence at all.
9) A Mishra 4 for 9 in 4 overs v Kings XI Punjab in Dharamsala, 2011 – Economy IMPACT 3.28
After a massive 198 from DC, KXIP were doing well at 83-2 in 10 overs, when their wheels began to fall off. Mishra came on thereafter and ended the match very rapidly.
10) A Singh 3 for 9 in 4 overs v Kings XI Punjab in Durban, 2009 – Economy IMPACT 3.26
An imposing 211 by RR on a seeming featherbed appeared a completely different proposition as Amit Singh's bowling at the top prevented a formidable batting line-up (comprising of Sangakkara, Katich, Jayawardene, Yuvraj and Irfan Pathan) from getting set, as they folded up for an unworthy 133.
