Fever Ray is the solo project of Karin Dreijer Andersson, one-half of the Swedish duo The Knife. Similar to the dark electro-pop she makes with the Knife, Fever Ray is even more brooding and atmospheric, using spacious production and a bit more prominent live instrumentation while maintaining The Knife's high level of song craft. 1/21/2009 - Don Yates

SANTA CRUZ -- The Santa Cruz District Attorney's Office is warning residents about recent scams that appear to target senior citizens.
Residents are warned to be wary of unsolicited offers from people posing as licensed contractors who just happen to be in the neighborhood. These offers may included driveway coating, roof coating and landscape work, among other home improvements.
Typically the people making these offers do not hold valid state contractors licenses and are simply tricking the residents into paying for unnecessary, expensive repairs of little to no value. The offers usually result in substandard work done using substandard products, District Attorney Bob Lee said Thursday.
In one such case, an Aptos resident reported that she was visited by an unlicensed contractor who told her that her driveway needed recoating.
She did not remember at the time that she had paid a local, licensed pavement contractor to resurface her driveway just three weeks prior.
The individual posing as a contractor charged her $2,000 to recoat the driveway and used only a thin, water-based coating. The work was "substandard and unnecessary," Lee said.
The man returned two weeks later and told her she owed him more money, although he hadn't done any other work. He drove her to her bank, where she withdrew $1,800 cash and gave it to him.
The DA's Office is investigating the case. The suspect is believed to have committed similar crimes in Marin and Sacramento counties.
The DA's Consumer Affairs Division also is looking into false and misleading claims being made by recently opened fortune teller, psychic reading and palm reader businesses throughout the county. A number of people have complained to the office that some of these businesses are advertising low rates for readings and then convincing unwary, susceptible individuals to pay thousands of dollars for services such as "improving karma" and "improving relationships."
One woman reportedly paid $19,000 to a Santa Cruz fortune teller during a period of three months.
Residents are advised to avoid paying large sums of money to so-called fortune tellers in the hopes of good luck or life changes.
To report a possible scam or ask questions, the District Attorney's Consumer Affairs Division advises residents to call 454-2050.

text: Considering a LePan TC 970. Anyone have any experience with these? For a couple of weeks now, I've been looking at different Android tablets. I know that the tablet I want will have features similar to the newest Samsung Galaxy pad, and I want it to be a 9.7-10 inch. I found a model without much information on the web, a LePad TC 970. It was apparently new to the market as of June 2011. So far, I have discovered that this tablet has the best positive review ratio among any models available today. I did a little more research and it appears that the LePan is manufactured by Matsunichi, a very well known Chinese manufacturer. The price is $299 right now, about half of what I would pay for a bigger name brand with similar features. I was wondering if there were any folks out there who might have considered or purchased this product and have any comments for me before I pull the trigger. I feel like I can't go wrong at that price point with the features and quality build.

You are Babylon 5
You are the short-lived, but fondly remember television show Babylon 5. Like the show, you are probably very serious and look at life and the future with a mixture of realism and pessimism. You probably shy away from popular things, fads, and popular ideas. You have a keen eye for social injustice, even if you believe it can never be remedied.

Power WordRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
To discover the Power Word you'll have to begin with an essential liquid to life - but without hesitation. Now add another bit of tea, please, and what have you got?
AnswerThe word "watt"!
An essential liquid to life is water. When you take the hesitation out of "water" -
the word "er" (which is what some people say to express uncertainty or hesitation) - you have "wat". Now all you have to do is add a "bit of tea", or add another "t" to "wat", and you have "watt" - the Power Word.
What Next?

The New Face of Socially Responsible Investing
Feeling strongly about the societal benefit or harm your money might be supporting doesn't mean you have to forgo pursuing a return on your investments. Socially responsible investing allows you to further both your own economic interests and a greater good.
The concept of putting your money where your mouth is first gained widespread attention during the 1970s, when such highly charged political issues as the Vietnam War and apartheid in South Africa led some investors to try to make sure their money didn't support policies that were counter to their beliefs. Since then, a wide variety of investment products, such as socially conscious mutual funds, have been developed to help people invest in ways consistent with a personal philosophy. However, individuals aren't the only ones to adopt responsible investing principles; many colleges and universities, government pension and retirement funds, and religious groups do so as well.
There are many approaches to what may also be known as mission investing, double- or triple-bottom-line investing, ethical investing, socially conscious investing, green investing, sustainable investing, or impact investing.
Screening potential investments
This is perhaps the best known aspect of socially responsible investing: evaluating investments based not only on their finances but on their social, environmental, and even corporate governance practices. The process may be negative, eliminating companies whose products or actions are deemed contrary to the public good. Examples of companies that are frequently excluded from socially responsible funds are those involved with alcohol, tobacco, gambling, defense, and those that contribute to environmental pollution or that have significant interests in countries considered to have repressive or racist governments.
However, as socially responsible investing has evolved, the screening process has become increasingly positive, using screens to identify companies whose practices actively further a particular social good, such as protecting the environment. For example, green technology that can help address environmental problems has attracted the interest of many investors who see not only a social good but an opportunity for profit.
Shareholder activism
Both individual and institutional shareholders have become increasingly willing to pressure corporations to adopt socially responsible practices. In many cases, having a good social record can enhance business, making a company more attractive to investors. Shareholder advocacy can involve filing shareholder resolutions on such topics as corporate governance, climate change, political contributions, environmental impact, and labor practices. Such activism got a boost from the SEC when it adopted the so-called "say on pay" rule as part of the Dodd-Frank financial reforms. As of April 2011, companies over a certain size must allow shareholders a vote on executive pay at least once every three years. Though the vote is nonbinding, it could give institutional investors a stronger hand in advocating for other interests.
Community investing
Still another approach involves directing investment capital to communities and projects that may have difficulty getting traditional financing. Investors provide money that is then used to make or guarantee loans to organizations that help traditionally underserved populations with challenges such as gaining access to affordable housing, finding jobs, and receiving health care.
Though past performance is no guarantee of future results, you should make sure your expectations (both financial and social) are realistic and in line with what you hope to achieve.
Impact investing
A recent development focuses not only on investment returns and social benefit, but on measuring and managing performance in both of those arenas. So-called "impact investing" aims not only to minimize negative impact and enhance social good, but to do so in a way that maximizes efficient use of the resources involved, using business-world methods such as benchmarking to compare returns and gauge how effectively an investment fulfills its goals. In fact, some have made a case for considering impact investing an emerging alternative asset class, since such investments may not be highly correlated with traditional assets such as stocks or bonds.
Know your goals
When investing for the greater good, make sure your expectations are clear and realistic. "The public good" may be defined differently by every investor. Also, many socially responsible funds achieve solid financial returns; others may not.
Note: Before investing in a mutual fund, carefully consider its investment objectives, risks, fees, and expenses, which can be found in the prospectus available from the fund; read it carefully before investing.

I like the production and idea behind Moog's new Sound Lab series. Dorit plays the Theramin the way I always wanted to see someone "air it"!
"To function as a one woman band, Dorit triggers a prerecorded backtrack on her laptop, adding vocals and theremin in real time. At her feet are a Moogerfooger MF-104Z Analog Delay and an Akai Head Rush looper that add layers of complexity to the sonic depth to her sound." – David I. Barkoe

Hi, my name is Lindsay. I'm 22, and after an extensive hospital visit, was diagnosed with lupus on April 2. I've probably had it for at least a year now, but just didn't want to believe I was as sick as I was. I had severe anemia (they were about ready to give me a blood transfusion), an apparent kidney infection (though I felt no pain from it), and developed pericarditis and pleuritis (which I am still trying to deal with)... But that's just what put me in the hospital. I deal on a daily basis with joint and muscle pain, along with extreme boughts of fatigue.
I'm slowly adjusting to all the changes that I'm having to make. I'm going back to work part time (hopefully), and trying to remain active while still relaxing as much as possible (not easy to do). Not to mention all the meds and supplements that my rheumatologist has me on.
I've been very lucky though, in that I have a very supportive family backing me through this, as well as a very sweet and loving boyfriend helping me learn as much about this illness as possible. (He's actually the one that found this site for me. )
I've been lurking for a couple days now, and am so happy to have found a community that understands what I am going through right now. I'm trying to keep a positive outlook on what's happening to me, but its very difficult not to get frustrated when you can't even pick up your own cat.
I just hope that by being here I can learn more about this, as well as offer my support to anyone who needs it.
Thanks for being here,

In 1961, I had my first ride in a Corvette. It was my Uncle Bally's car, a Roman Red '60 with white coves. When we hit the main road, my Uncle flashed the chrome shifter through the gears. We could really appreciate the sound of the exhaust with the top down. As the speed increased, I was mesmerized by the big, half-moon speedometer with its needle sweeping higher and higher. "Can you make it go 100, Uncle Bally?" I remember that we got pretty close! I also remember keeping a pretty tight grip on the big grab bar in front of the passenger seat. Whenever I could, I hung out with Uncle Bally and the Vette.
By the time I was 12, my family was living near Detroit. A close family friend who worked for General Motors had just taken delivery of one of the first 1968 Chevy Corvette coupes. Knowing that I loved cars-Corvettes in particular-he stopped by to give his little buddy a ride, one I'd never forget. Looking at the photo taken right after we got out of the car, that ear-to-ear grin tells you the hook was set! It was only a matter of time before I'd have my own Corvette!
This family friend had other nice cars-a '66 Jaguar XK-E, a '48 MGTC, and others-but none made the impression on me that this Shark did. It was a musclecar and a sleek sports car, all rolled into one. The view out the windshield of the fenders arching sharply over the front wheels, the throaty exhaust note, the fresh air and sunlight streaming through the open T-Tops and removable rear window, all made a long-lasting impression. Throughout my childhood, I made models of Corvettes, cut pictures out of magazines, and pointed out every Corvette I saw on the street. Finally, the time was right. I studied issues of VETTE and Corvette-related books. I developed charts comparing the performance figures, features, and market prices of the Sharks by year and model. I scoured the classified ads for months, looked at lots of Vettes for sale, and made a couple trips to Corvettes at Carlisle. Surprisingly, I ended up finding the car of my childhood dreams only five miles from home, sitting in a yard with a "For Sale" sign on it. It was a '69 coupe. The car had been garaged for years. Generations of spiders had made their webs under this car. But it looked ok, ran well, and was almost entirely original. I looked it over carefully, then bought it!
I traced the car's background and found the original, and most notable, owner. When I called him, he told me he'd purchased the car just days after returning from a tour of duty in Vietnam. Flush with his service pay, the guy bought the car right off the showroom floor. He had some great stories, including how he'd once run the car over 150 mph! He sold the car when family and financial responsibilities required more practical transportation.
As the restoration began, the car required more work than I'd expected. Just about every part on the car was checked, cleaned, repainted, replated, or replaced. Even parts that looked pretty good weren't close enough to perfect, so off they came. I did most of the work myself, but got help from a local shop when it was time to rebuild some major components and pull the body for framework. A nearby body shop, run by a retired tug boat captain who only works on Corvettes, repainted the car, returning it to a slightly updated shade of its original Riverside Gold. Two-and-a-half years later, with a file of receipts from almost every Corvette parts supplier in the country, the restoration of my Shark was done.
As is the case with many beautifully restored cars, I ended up investing more in the car than I'd expected. But I have no intention of selling it. This wasn't a "cosmetic resale job"-I intend to grow old with this Corvette! I drive the car almost every sunny weekend. During the week, and all winter long, my Vette stays snuggled in on the top "bunk" of a double-park hydraulic lift.
So, perhaps the Corvette of your childhood dreams is out there, just waiting for you. Mine was!

The Lupus Research Institute Applauds Coalition Member for Leadership in NY State Advocacy Initiative
As reported in many media outlets, LRI National Coalition Member, the Lupus Foundation of Mid and Northern New York, Inc. has joined up with influential legislative champions and numerous patient groups on a critical issue that is exacerbating existing health disparities among many underserved populations. The group is urging Governor Andrew Cuomo to reconsider a cost-cutting measure that makes it more difficult for millions of patients with chronic illnesses like lupus who are covered by Medicaid to afford necessary medications. In addition, the current regulations allow health benefits managers, rather than physician prescribers, to decide on the best medication for some patients.
President/CEO of the Lupus Foundation of Mid and Northern New York Kathleen A. Arntsen moderated and spoke at a recent press conference on the initiative. "The prescriber prevails language was originally included in the NYS Medicaid Pharmacy Benefit to ensure that the prescribing physician was able to make the ultimate decision about which drug therapy is best for his/her patient," noted Arntsen. "Removing it has done nothing but create more obstacles to overcome, disruption in vital care, and total chaos for Medicaid enrollees, family members, and health providers. Since the vast majority of Medicaid enrollees in New York State are children, blind/disabled, and elderly; and more than 50% are people of color, these limitations to treatment disproportionately affect access to vital health care for the most vulnerable populations. We urge NYS officials to restore previous patient protections to Medicaid and stop the mayhem."
Additional members of the LRI Coalition participating in this important advocacy effort are Lupus Agencies of NYS, including:
Lupus Foundation of Genesee Valley NY, Inc.
Lupus Alliance of America, Upstate NY Affiliate
Lupus Alliance of America, LI/Queens Affiliate
Lupus Alliance of America, NY Southern Tier Affiliate
S.L.E. Lupus Foundation
The Associated Press issued the following correction: In a March 11 story about organizations pushing the administration of Gov. Andrew Cuomo to spend more on medications covered by Medicaid, The Associated Press misidentified one group. It is the Lupus Foundation of Mid and Northern New York, Inc., not a chapter of the national Lupus Foundation.

Stephen Mills, a freelance journalist phoned us at Vermont Woods Studios yesterday to talk about a piece he's writing for this Thursday's edition of the Burlington Free Press. He'll be shining a spotlight on Vermont's fine furniture industry and wanted to include Vermont Woods Studios in his story.
I hope you'll check it out on the front page of the Living section on January 26, 2012. Our friend, reclaimed barnwood furniture expert and fellow woodworker, Raphael Groten will be featured as well.
I know a lot of people like to keep Vermont made fine furniture the best kept secret in the world, but we've been getting a lot of press lately. I think people are starting to see that Vermont truly is the Fine Furniture Capital of America with some 2000+ small furniture makers located throughout the state. We send our thanks to Stephen Mills for helping to spread the word.

Aviation Professor Honored with Creation of Scholarship
October 16, 2012
Aviation Science, Parks College News
Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology has recently honored Jesuit and long-time aviation professor James Sebesta, S.J., with the creation of an endowed scholarship. The James Sebesta, S.J., Endowed Scholarship was established to help students with costs associated with flight fees.
Sebesta and the new fund were celebrated Sept. 28 at a fundraising dinner to support the new scholarship and other scholarships offered by Parks College. Two current Parks College scholarship recipients also addressed the crowd with a heart felt account of how much they appreciate the support.
"The evening with Father Jim was a most fitting tribute to one of our finest faculty members," said Stephen Belt, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Aviation Science. "And it was great to meet the friends and family members of the other (scholarship) honorees. Clearly, Parks College has touched many lives and their desire to give back to the students of the future is inspiring."
Sebesta has been with SLU and Parks College since 1994. He's worked in aviation since the age of 14, and as a Jesuit, he was assigned to Kaltag, Alaska, where he served at the flying operations base for the Jesuit Volunteer Corps and transported the bishop of the Fairbanks diocese.

text: Show Hide image Politics 29 November 2011 IFM shoots down hopes for Italian bail-out deal The IMF denies claims made by Italian newspaper that the organisation is preparing for an Italian ba Sign up for our weekly email * Stock markets momentarily surged on Monday after a report surfaced in Italian newspaper La Stampa suggesting that the IMF was preparing to bail out the debt stricken Italian economy. The IMF, headed by Christine Lagarde, soon made a statement claiming: "There are no discussions with the Italian authorities on a programme for IMF financing." The hopes for a deal come amidst concern among European Union members after credit rating agency Moody suggested the crisis in the eurozone may influence the credit rating of all EU states. It said: "The continued rapid escalation of the euro area sovereign and banking credit crisis is threatening the credit standing of all European sovereigns." La Stampa claimed the IMF was poised to provide up to €600bn (£515bn) at a rate of 4 -5 per cent, giving Italy 18 months to get a grip on its ailing economy. In recent weeks the cost of Italian 10-year bonds have surpassed the game-changing figrue of 7 per cent, the level at which other eurozone countries were left with no other choice but to seek bail-outs from international monetary organisations. Despite the IMF rebuttal of La Stampa's claims there are reports that contact between the IMF and the Italian government, headed by Mario Monti, have greatly increased in recent days. An IMF inspection team is shortly due to arrive in Rome. Michael Hewson, an analyst at CMC markets, said:"Given that IMF chief Christine Lagarde recently said that the fund only had €285bn in emergency funds, this story seems rather implausible, however there does appear to be talk of some form of plan in the works, however it is not immediately clear how the IMF would be able to raise the money needed."

Ever wonder what some of the rich and famous did for their first job? Andrew Carnegie worked in a textile factory, Walt Disney had a newspaper route, and believe it or not, Mick Jagger sold ice cream!
Summer break is a great time for your children to make the most of the long days ahead by starting their first job. Why not help them launch their own business that also fits their interests? Kids not only learn about finances and the value of money—they can also learn important life skills such as setting goals, demonstrating responsibility and building communication skills. Here are three ideas to inspire your young, budding entrepreneurs:
Tip: Take your design from one project and apply it on brochures, postcards, and more—we'll show you how!
Step-by-step guide: Coordinate the Look of Your Projects with Avery Design & Print Online
- Market the business with a uniform. Create a personalized t-shirt your kid can wear when they work. It can help promote their business by advertising as they walk.
Step-by-step guide: Advertise Your Dog Walking Business on a T-shirt
- Show appreciation. Thank clients for their business with a little sandwich bag of dog biscuits they can give to their pet. Attach a personalized label on the bag with a phone number to make it easy for them to call again!
Step-by-step guide: Create "Doggy Bags" of Treats for Your Dog Clients
- Advertise. Whether they're using a plywood stand or a folding table as their place of business, make sure their business has signage to attract customers.
Step-by-step guide: Spotlight Your Lemonade Stand with Signage
- Create an outfit that stands out. This bright and colorful t-shirt design makes it easy for customers to know who's working the stand—helpful when the stand is mobbed with thirsty people!
Step-by-step guide: Serve Up Lemonade in Style with Customized T-shirts
- Add a memorable touch. Customers will enjoy taking that sweet sip of lemonade from these memorable straw labels. Just place two seals back-to-back with the straw in between and pop them into each cup that's served.
Step-by-step guide: Create Sensational Sippers for Drinks
Babysitting job
Babysitting is a popular job that requires responsibility, creativity and patience. If your teen is interested in taking care of the little ones in your neighborhood, help them create a babysitter binder they can use as a reference guide. They'll have the resources they need to do the job—right at their fingertips.
Downlad the Babysitter Binder Spine
Download the Babysitter Binder Cover Sheet
Download the Babysitter Binder Dividers for Avery Direct Print Dividers
Here are some suggestions of what to include in the babysitter guide:
- Contact information. Include a list of important phone numbers, such as the parents' cell phone(s), the neighbors, family doctor and poison control.
- Schedules and special instructions. Your child should keep an agenda of where the parents will be when they are out, hour by hour if possible. Also, if the parents provide detailed instructions, such as what helps a restless toddler sleep at night, include it here.
- Activities. Help your child put together a list of fun activities they can do with the children they babysit so there's always a place to go for ideas.
Summer jobs provide a great chance for kids to see what interests them, and who knows, it may help them discover what could be a lifelong passion! As a summer job is still work and not all fun and games, give them the encouragement they need. Before you know it, they will enjoy the work and the satisfaction that comes from doing something for themselves.

Snip, Snap at the Shoe Shack!Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
Witty Will gets a job at a newly opened shoe store called Shoe Shack. His infamous brother, Arrogant Arnold, decides now he can reap up on his brother's benefits and get himself new shoes, since his old Nikes for Tykes were getting way too babyish for him. One day, Arnold decided to go to Shoe Shack and ask his brother to get him some real Nikes for half price!
After his long pleading, Will made a deal with his brother. If Arnold could answer Will's question, he would let Arnold use his employee benefits, but if not, Arnold would have to give Will ten bucks.
First, he gave Arnold one shoe which was tied and said to him, "Think about this; you HAVE to do it in your head. If you cut both loops of this shoelace, how many pieces of shoestring do you have in your hands?"
Obviously, Will got ten dollars richer, but can you answer his question? (No cheating, do it in your HEAD!)
HintSorry none today! =) However, as an added bonus for looking here, you get a special task: try to say the title five times fast! Yay that sounds so fun!!!
AnswerArnold would only have one shoestring in his hand since he did the problem in his head!
(Just so that you know, if he actually did cut the string, there would be three pieces.)
What Next?

LOUISVILLE – A single run in the top of the fifth inning was the only offense in the game on Monday as Jeffersontown knocked off North Bullitt in the first round of the Sixth Region Baseball Tournament at Eastern High School.
The 1-0 loss was a bitter pill for North Bullitt to swallow as a perfect draw had set up the 23rd District Champions for a possible busy week.

Rosslyn Park will have an U17 team in the top tier of the Surrey leagues for the first time in more than seven years next season.
The squad impressed enough in the U16 division last season to earn themselves a spot among the other top U17 teams in the county.
They have also been chosen as one of four club's to represent the county at national level, leaving head of youth Dhiren Patel ecstatic.
"I am extremely proud to say Rosslyn Park have been chosen to play in the nationals next season at U17 level," he told the club's website.
"We have not had this honour in many years, so you can imagine how much of a big deal this will be for the lads.
"I am sure with the assistance of the club and its resources, these lads will make great steps toward fantastic things."
Director of rugby Shaun Justice added: "This is another example of the great things that are happening in the junior section of the club.
"There is every chance that, with continued coaching support and hard work, some of these lads will tread the same path as the likes of Nev Edwards, Harry Rowland, Ed Lewis-Pratt and Charlie Gower and force their way into the first XV squad within the next few seasons."
Meanwhile, the club is to host a family fun day when the Olympic road race – which will see Great Britain's Mark Cavendish going for gold – goes past their Priory Lane ground in Upper Richmond Road on its way out of London and again on its way back in on July 28.
There will be music from Carron Dawn Wright, a hog roast, a barbecue, kids inflatables and also competitions.
Tickets are £5 or £15 for a family of four in advance, or £7 on the gate and £20 for a family.
They are available from Roehampton Club on 020 8480 4200 and Sheen Sports on 020 8876 7273.

Columbus State's Advising Services would like to introduce six staff members who have joined the department since August.
Jamel Chamberlain, advisor, earned two degrees from Kent State University; a B.A. in Psychology and his M.A. in Sports Management. Upon finishing his time as a student at Kent, he served as an intern in several capacities before beginning his work as an academic advisor at Eastern Gateway Community College and Belmont College.
Yolonda Kelly, advisor, is from Dayton and completed an M.Ed. in Higher Education Student Affairs at Wright State University. She was employed in advising at OSU from 2001-2012 before returning back to Wright State as an advisor in 2012. She began working at Columbus State in September 2013. She enjoys helping people live up to their potential – her life's theme is to be in service to others.
Sarah Goff, advisor, has worked in higher education and academic advising for more than 25 years, and while she has tried retirement a few times, she has found that she is happiest when working part time. She has been married for 53 years, has two adult children, three grandchildren, and is a Delaware County Master Gardener.
Zach Rost, advisor, earned his undergraduate degree in Sports Management from Cedarville University and has a master's in Sports and Fitness, Leadership and Coaching from the University of Central Florida.

In the latest report card, tracking data from launch date to January 1, Columbus CoGo riders have traveled enough miles to go around the world more than three times; offset 52,000 pounds of carbon monoxide (that's 26 tons. The average car emits 6 tons a year, to give you some perspective); and burned 3.3 million calories. That's roughly 6,000 Big Macs. High fives all around! Columbus State has its very own CoGo bike station, just across from the Bookstore, so even if you're not adventurous enough to brave single digits right now, spring riding is just around the corner!

CES 2013: Sharp Demoes Double-UHD (8K) Set, Two 4K Sets, 21 New Aquos 3D Smart TVs

Subpixel processing and a pair of 4K sets promise to up the graphical ante of the Aquos line
Corp. (
) showed off a variety of TV sets this morning at a press event at the
2013 Consumer Electronics Show
at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Central themes were big,
high resolution
, and smarter televisions.
I. 3D, Smart TVs are Here to Stay, Says Sharp
The Japanese set-maker continues to forge ahead with its own proprietary smart TV technology dubbed "SmartCentral". Its refresh of its Aquos line includes 21 new sets distributed among the 6-Series (low-end), 7-Series (mid-range), and 8-Series (high-end). Each set features a dual-core ARM architecture processor. The sets range from 60+ inches to 80+ inches.
The latest version of SmartCentral adds the ability to use your Android or iOS device as a remote control. It also features SmartBeam, which allows you to push files from your mobile device onto your LCD set. A Flash- and HTML5-capable web browser will also be built into the sets.
Taking a page from Apple, Inc.'s (
) playbook, Sharp's luxury 7- and 8-Series models feature diamond-cut silver brushed-aluminum finishes.
Sharp Aquos 8-Series (60-inch)
All of the TVs have built in Wi-Fi and 1080p "Active" 3D compatibility. The new twist on 3D is improved filtering on the Bluetooth link; customers can now use the Bluetooth powered glasses without fear of interference from other Bluetooth signals (previously customers were advised to turn off other Bluetooth-communications in the area when watching 3D content).
Also included in the lineup is Sharp's proprietary sub-pixel processing, which the company claims offers double the detail per pixel as rival RGBY/RGB LCD designs.
The lineup answers two of the big questions of
few years'
shows -- will 3D and smart-TVs flare out? While neither technology has wowed in terms of adoption or customer enthusiasm, the solution Sharp and other manufacturers appear to be pursuing is to simply overhaul the entire lineup to feature some level of these technologies.
II. Going Big
Sharp was also eager to plug its 90-inch LED set, which it brags is the biggest available LED-illuminated LCD TV on the market. Launched in June 2012, this will continue to be a crown jewel in the company's lineup, getting a minor refresh with improved SmartCentral technology.
But 1080 is not the final destination for Sharp. The company will be launching a pair of 4K (3,840 × 2,160 pixel) sets this year. Sharp dubs these models "ultra-HD" (UHD) sets, pointing out that they quadruple the pixel count of 1080p.

The first, the ICC Purios, will hit this summer. Named after Sharp's processor partner -- the I-cubed Research Center Inc. (ICC) -- the ICC Purious will pack ICC's (integrated cognitive creation) image processor, which supposedly mimics the way a human brain deals with images. The 60-inch set is the first 4K model to receive THX certification, according to Sharp.
Sharp ICC Purios
Sharp will push out a second set -- an Aquos-branded UHD set -- sometime in the second half of the year. That set will feature an upscaler, which will try to convert standard 1080p content to 4K (similar to how the Sony Corp. (
) PS3 upscales DVD content to 1080p).
The latter set will also feature "Moth Eye" a nano-scale conical coating, which mimics moth eyes. Apparently moths have evolved the ability to minimize glare off their eye lenses to avoid predation. Inspired by nature, Sharp applied a similar design to eliminate glare on the set.
In case that wasn't enough, Sharp showed off an 85-inch 8K LED-lit LCD TV prototype (7680 x 4320 pixel). The ultra-ultra HD (so to speak) set won't be available this year, but Sharp calls it a "glimpse of the future of high definition".

Spent some time driving around looking for work the last few days and I found a company I never noticed before. WA Drierite. THey sell industrial water liquid absorption products. Some of it looked like it might be pretty good for putting in safes and such. Didin't price match much, but was guessing buying direct from them might be cheaper than buying from Brownells and such. The following has ten pounds for $26 which seems like a lot to me. Could probably wait a few year before you had to recharge in the oven.
Looked at the MSDS and it didn't seem so bad, although MSDS sheets only show what has been proven. Any chemists around know if this is the same stuff? Might be able to get some on the cheap.
$0 of an NRA membership goes to legislative action or court battles. Not a dime. Only money contributed to the NRA-ILA or NRA-PVF. Second Amendment Foundation is a solid alternative.

The stuff kids really need for high school
Here are some easy tips to help you upgrade your childs supplies for high school. more
Mad cow disease is also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy and is a disease that affects cows. Scientists and doctors in the UK, the United States, and Canada believe that mad cow disease can affect people if they eat infected meat.
The human form of mad cow disease is called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease , or CJD . It is very serious and can cause severe neurological symptoms, but is extremely rare. It is not contagious and does not infect milk. You can only get it from eating tainted meat.
The government has steps in place to prevent infected cows or their meat from getting into Australia. And, if an infection does occur, the government has a system to get the tainted meat off of shop shelves.

Head and Neck Cancer
Small Lump in the Right Side of Neck
Hi. I am a 29 year old mother of a 3 year old kid. Since yesterday I have got throat pain in only right side of my neck. It only pains when I eat or swollow. About 15 days earlier I had noticed a small lump in my right side of neck which was not paining at that time but now it is paining if I press it. I am very afraid. What do you think it is? Please, if possible, answer me asap. I have never smoked in my life, nor do I drink or have tobbaco.
Let me first say that your risk of having cancer is very low. The possibilities are numerous however. Most often when a neck node is painful we are dealing with some type of infection or irritation. You definitely need to see your physician. If he cannot solve the problem he will most likely send you to and ear nose and throat doctor.

DANIA BEACH, Fla. - A man has been charged with attempted murder and arson after shooting a woman in the neck with a flare gun, causing a fire inside their apartment, said the Broward Sheriff's Office.
It happened at 237 SW 11th Street in Dania Beach about 4:14 p.m. Wednesday.
BSO said Stephen Thunberg and his girlfriend were having an argument when he shot her.
"We had just got home and I heard a scream," said neighbor Dina Dawson.
Dawson told Local 10's Sasha Andrade she saw the girlfriend running half-naked as Thunberg ran behind her with something in his hand.
"And I looked and I saw that she was bleeding profusely and I saw them run over to the neighbors and as soon as I saw that, I got on the phone and called 911," said Dawson.
The victim ran across the street to George Kostalas' house.
"She said, 'I need help, I need help,'" said Kostalas. "I go to help but I see the guy with the gun."
The concerned neighbor said that's when the victim crouched down in this corner and Thunberg pointed the flare gun at her head.
"… I said, 'Stephen, please (don't) hit the woman, you know," said Kostalas.
Police arrived moments later. As officers arrested Stephen Thunberg, one emergency turned into another.
"Everybody looks over and sees there's smoke coming out of the apartment," said Dawson.
Investigators said they believe the flare shot sparked a fire inside the suspect's home, destroying at least one bedroom.
The woman was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Thunberg remained in police custody Wednesday night.

Another company is recalling packaged pistachios that were supplied by the ARO Pistachios Inc. processing plant in Terra Bella, Calif., because of possible salmonella contamination.
Torn & Glasser is recalling pistachios packed under four different labels: Torn & Glasser, Hilo, Sun Harvest and Sprouts, according to a notice on the Food and Drug Administration website. They are packaged in 8-ounce, 12-ounce and 1-pound bags. Specific lot numbers on available on the FDA website.
Greg Glasser, third-generation owner of the Los Angeles company, was not immediately available July 15 to comment.
The pistachios were distributed Feb. 21 through April 29 in California, Hawaii and Arizona. The company did not provide information on the volume of pistachios involved in the recall.
The Torn & Glasser recall, dated July 12, came two days after Western Mixers produce & Nut Co. recalled an undisclosed volume of its Treasured Harvest pistachios, also packed by ARO.
The Western Mixers Produce recall notice on the Food and Drug Administration website states neither the agency nor Western Mixers Produce & Nut Co. have found salmonella in any of the company's finished products distributed in commerce from Oct. 17, 2012 through April 29 this year.
Western Mixers Produce sales representative David Bolstad Jr. said July 12 that he did not have information on who detected possible salmonella contamination or where it was found.
Bolstad suggested contacting ARO Pistachio Inc., Terra Bella, Calif., because the recalled nuts were processed by ARO in the 2012 harvest year. A source at ARO was not available July 12 or early July 15 to comment on the situation.
Western Mixers Produce has ceased production and distribution of the product as FDA, ARO and Western Mixers continue their investigations, according to the recall notice.
Distribution of the pistachios includes shipments to California, Nevada, Ohio and Utah, according to the recall notice. The nuts also went to retail stores in undisclosed states and to customers via mail orders.
The recalled pistachios distributed under the Treasured Harvest brand from Western Mixers Produce are packaged in 6-ounce clear plastic cups, 12-ounce clear bags and 28-ounce clear plastic trays. Lot numbers are available in the recall notice.
Another recall of pistachios from ARO and distributed by Hoop Nuts, doing business as Christophers Nut Co., Van Nuys, Calif., is also listed on the FDA's website.
Those pistachios were only distributed in California. The FDA's enforcement report states possible salmonella contamination as the reason for the recall, which began Dec. 24, 2012.
