A YELLOW weather warning has been issued for Dorset on Saturday.
Following hot and humid conditions this week, the county could be in for a hammering with heavy rain predicted across the weekend.
The Met Office has issued a heatwave warning for some parts of the UK, including the south east, with temperatures hitting the low 30s and aight time temperatures set to stay above 20.
People are being urged to take care in the heat, drink lots of cool drinks and keep an eye on friends and neighbours who may need help.
However, the heat could turn into stormy conditions over the weekend.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for Saturday, with heavy and thundery showers expected to develop across the South.
Where the showers form, there is expected to be torrential downpours, lightening, hail and strong winds.
The Met Office has warned that 'significant' flooding is possible.
A spokesman from the Met office said: "Following a build of very warm and humid air from mid-week onwards there is the potential for the development of large thunderstorms over the UK from Friday night.
"In this situation large amounts of energy are available in the atmosphere and this coupled with high moisture content can lead to torrential downpours along with frequent lightning activity, large hail and locally strong gusts. In this situation many elements need to come together at the same time to form these thunderstorms and so there remains large uncertainty in their development."
Currently there are no Flood Warnings or Alerts in place from the Environment Agency for Dorset's rivers and streams.
Send us your stormy weather pictures this weekend – but please remember to always be safe and take care.

A TERRIFIED dad took his 21-month-old son to hospital for emergency treatment after he chewed potentially fatal drugs pushed through the family's letterbox by mistake.
Mohammed Naeem returned home to find toddler Zubayr pushing two of the chocolate-coloured tablets, which should have been delivered to a diabetic neighbour by a local pharmacist, into his mouth in the hallway.
His wife Yasmin, cooking in the kitchen of their Blackburn home, had been keeping an eye on the youngster and was totally unaware the drugs had been posted through the letterbox.
Mr Naeem rang the NHS 111 line and was told to take his son to A&E at Royal Blackburn Hospital. Zubayr was kept in overnight.
Three days later, Mr Naeem took his son to his GP for a check-up after he carried on crying and seemed distressed.
The 37-year-old CCTV installer of Bromley Street, Wensley Fold, said: "I was really scared. "He could have died. This should never have happened.
"They should never have just pushed such dangerous drugs through a letterbox instead of handing them to someone.
"These pills looked just like chocolates and my son was far too young to know not to eat them."
Mr Naeem is now taking legal advice and Riaz Pharmacy in Randal Street, which arranged for the delivery, said it had suspended a driver.
Lancashire Telegraph doctor Tom Smith said: "If the parents and the hospital had not acted quickly these drugs would probably have killed him.''
He said the pills, called trajenta, lower blood sugar over time and, in the case of a child under two, would have caused a coma and probable death if swallowed and no antidote or sugar was administered swiftly.
Pharmacy manager Riaz Hinglotowala said: "This issue is currently under investigation to find out exactly what happened.
"These drugs should not have been pushed through a letterbox. "Our policy is to give them to an individual and if no-one is present leave a note asking them to ring us to arrange delivery. "The driver has been suspended."
Father-of-four Mr Naeem said: "I had been in London to meet a friend and rang my wife on my way home to ask her to make me a curry.
"She was in the kitchen cooking my dinner and keeping an eye on Zubayr who was in the hall playing safely with his toys.
"I came home and saw him chewing two chocolate-coloured pills. I grabbed them and got them out of his mouth and then saw the packet. I was really frightened and my wife was just crying.
"At once I rang 111 and they told me to get him to the emergency department of the hospital immediately and offered to send an ambulance.
"They took him immediately and then kept till 7am the following morning. They were clearly very worried.
"He kept on crying and I took him to our GP three days later who gave him the all clear.
"We are very lucky. He could have died if we had not seen him do it, got the pills out and taken him to hospital where they were fantastic.
"If everyone hadn't acted quickly, it would have had serious consequences. I have CCTV of the man delivering the pills.
"I am taking legal advice. I want something done so this cannot happen again and my neighbour is not left without his life-saving pills."
A spokesman for the General Pharmaceutical Council said: "All pharmacies are required to meet our standards for registered pharmacies, which include supplying medicines and medical devices safely.
"The GPhC sets out the standards of conduct, ethics and performance that pharmacy professionals must follow. A pharmacy professional's conduct will be judged against these standards and failure to comply could put their registration at risk."

@NBA: "Greg Monroe, Wesley Johnson, Eric Bledsoe, Derrick Favors and Paul George named to @TMobile All-Rookie Second team, as voted by coaches."
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
Congrats Paul!
He was unjustly left off of the rookie/sophomore team, would've been a huge tragedy if he didn't get his due as a second team All-Rookie.
Congrats to PG
For reference:
T-Mobile NBA Rookie of the Year Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers and the Washington Wizards' John Wall, the overall No. 1 selection in the 2010 NBA Draft, headline the 2010-11 T-Mobile NBA All-Rookie First Team, the NBA announced today. Griffin was the lone unanimous selection.
Joining Griffin (58 points) and Wall (57 points) on the T-Mobile NBA All-Rookie First Team are New York's Landry Fields (56 points), Sacramento's DeMarcus Cousins (54 points), and San Antonio's Gary Neal (44).
The T-Mobile NBA All-Rookie Second Team consists of Detroit's Greg Monroe (42 points), Minnesota's Wesley Johnson (26 points), the Clippers' Eric Bledsoe (19 points), Utah's Derrick Favors (18 points), and Indiana's Paul George (14 points).
Other players receiving votes, with point totals (first place votes in parentheses): Ed Davis, Toronto, 10 (1); Evan Turner, Philadelphia, 12; Jordan Crawford, Washington, 12; Gordon Hayward, Utah, 7; Omer Asik, Chicago, 6 (1); Patrick Patterson, Houston, 5; Al-Farouq Aminu, Los Angeles Clippers, 3; Tiago Splitter, San Antonio, 3; Trevor Booker, Washington, 1; Christian Eyenga, Cleveland, 1; Ekpe Udoh, Golden State, 1.
Landry Fields over George is a travesty. Didn't watch Neal to much.
Is this where I mention that, as the #10 pick in the draft, being voted as the #10 rookie is to be expected?
Oh, well, I forgot about Griffin, so he leap-frogged Hayward. Yay!
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
George finished ahead of a lot of guys that were bandied about on these forums leading up to the draft...
Ed Davis
Gordon Hayward
Patrick Patterson
Al-Farouq Aminu
Ekpe Udoh
Which leads me to think to myself ---
"Do we even know what the hell we're talking about?"
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Congrats to Paul, it was well deserved. When I think of the future of the Pacers, I can't help but think of Paul George leading this team to many victories.
Gary Neal....really?
Gary Neal and Landry both had better years, while PG collected lots of DNPs under O'Brien.
How often do we see a rookie with 20+ DNPs on All-rookie teams anyway? An indication of how much he's valued around the league for his play under Vogel.
Vogel all year long, PG would be on the 1st team.
Bet he makes the Sophomore team next year.
It's a weak crop for rookie wings, and it seemed that coaches voted to award production over potential in selecting Fields and Neal, who are likely to remain role players in the future.
Interestingly, on a per minute basis, Paulie G's production is on par with Fields and Neal, despite his DNP-CDs. And way above other rookie wings like Turner or Johnson. Have a look:
In terms of PER, Fields posted 13.5, Neal 13.1, and PG 13.0
In terms of WS/48, Fields posted a value of 0.100, Neal 0.099, and PG 0.091
By both measures, there's a large separation between the trio of Fields, Neal, PG and the rest of the field.
Without JOB George would probably been the top 2nd team vote getter if not 1st team.
They nearly always award production over potential.
Joe Smith over Kevin Garnett, Shane Battier over Joe Johnson, Randy Foye over Rajon Rondo, and so on. Even Kobe didn't make the 1st team.
And T-Mac didn't make any rookie team with very similar year as PG.
Age and potential doesn't matter much in this.

Congrats to Paul! Very well deserved! He'd definitely be on the 1st Team if JOB had been fired a lot sooner...
Pacers who've made an NBA All-Rookie Team (there was no 2nd Team prior to 1988-89):
1982-83: Clark Kellogg, All-Rookie 1st Team
1983-84: Steve Stipanovich, All-Rookie 1st Team
1986-87: Chuck Person, All-Rookie 1st Team (Rookie of the Year)
1988-89: Rik Smits, All-Rookie 1st Team
2001-02: Jamaal Tinsley, All-Rookie 2nd Team
2005-06: Danny Granger, All-Rookie 2nd Team
2010-11: Paul George, All-Rookie 2nd Team
Notable All-Rookie 2nd Teamers over the past decade:
Marcus Thornton
Eric Gordon
Kevin Love
Marc Gasol
Carl Landry
Rajon Rondo
Paul Millsap
Raymond Felton
Danny Granger
Al Jefferson
Josh Smith
Jameer Nelson
Carlos Boozer
Manu Ginobili
Josh Howard
Joe Johnson
Richard Jefferson
Hedo Turkoglu
By my count, about one-third go on to be good-to-great NBA players.
Congrats to Paul George!
im almost positive we don't, thats why i stick to witty one liners
Disagree. For the entire season Landry had a better year. And Neal, over the entire year, was more important than George.
Now if PG had played as much and well as he did in his last month, in two more months...he would have been 1st.
Same here. Except I dunno about the "witty" part.
No, it's not. Fields came out of the gate strong and had an excellent rookie year. Landry Fields WAS the steal of the draft at the #38 pick!
hmm must have been slim pickins. i recognize his potential but he had a very pedestrian rookie season.

Whose Holiday is it Anyway?
Whose Holiday is it Anyway? is a brand new show that will see Rhona and Jason McDaid hand over the power of their holiday plans and the entire holiday budget to their wilful teenage kids!
Rhona and Jason run a tight ship around the family home so when it comes to their dream holiday they love a laid back sun holiday that involves nothing more than lying by the pool soaking up the sun. Their three kids Alex (15), Molly (12) and Rory (7), on the other hand, are completely fed up with lazy and boring holidays and have a very different idea of what they should be doing on holidays!
With the entire holiday budget of 3,000 handed over to the kids they set about booking their annual family holiday, completely unsupervised! The kids decide everything from what they will be doing to what theyll be eating, they will even decide what theyll be wearing as they are in charge of packing everyones bags! Poor mam and dad, without a red cent in their pocket, wont even know where they are going until they arrive at the airport, which makes for the perfect nightmare for self-confessed control freak Rhona.
Fed up with lazy and boring holidays they have been subjected to throughout the years the kids want something different and have a few surprises up their sleeves for mum & dad.
With issues of trust, responsibility, control-freakishness and downright determination from the kids Whose Holiday Is It Anyway? will take family dynamics taken to a new level.
Watch this Whose Holiday Is It Anyway? on Sunday, the 15th December at 6.30pm on RTÉ ONE.

Kate Middleton needs no advice when it comes to fashion. Stepping out in a regal looking white dress and white cotton Issa trench coat for the Diana memorial concert in London on Sunday she showed off a royal sense of style. With rumors of a reconciliation in the air all eyes were on the beaming Middleton, who dressed down the outfit with her favorite black knee high boots and a perfect blow dry. We love that her outfit was stylish yet practical. As Issa designer Daniella Helayel tells PEOPLE "She looks very chic, demure and understated in the trench coat. It was the perfect outfit for the weather and the event!" We couldn't agree more. If you can't afford Kate's $900 designer trench, try this casual white trench for a similar look, on sale $30 from $80, at gap.com. Add these Isaac Mizrahi boots, $36 at target.com, and this Ann Taylor sheath, $80 at anntaylor.com — and you've got the look!

All about Chennai
For kitchen pans/gadgets: My dear friend Rachel pointed me to Currimbhoys and Poppat Jamals. Currimbhoys is where I got the bamboo steamer as well as the muffin pan that a lot of you asked about. A lot of stuff is also available at Lifestyle Home Center.
For food stuffs: Obviously all of you know that the everyday stuff is available at Nilgiris. But if you really looked you'd find they have ingredients that you haven't bothered to look for before (atleast I haven't). For example, Demerara Sugar. The other store that I've found to have great unusual stuff is Food World (or now Spencers) which has a section for International Foods (which is where I found the rice paper rolls), but they also have different kinds of dried mushrooms, vegetables and spices.
I also shop at Amma Naana and Maison de Gourmet, if I really have to find something and it's not available in any of the above shops. They are more expensive but the chances of them having it are very high. For specialty cheeses, sauces and jams, the place to go is Maison.
Amma Naana is great for people who have moved back to India from the US, and are still craving things like Trail Mix, Granola Bars, Starbucks Frappuccinos or Post Cereal! (I could go on, but you get the general idea). They also have lots of unusual vegetables (like asparagus and zucchini) that are not available in neighbourhood supermarkets. It's also where I found the Arborio Rice that a lot of people asked about.
If I do use an unusual ingredient, I shall include my source from now on, so that may help Chennaiites locate it. I hope that helps. Also my other blog, Rediscovering Chennai, is all about how Chennai has now become a lot more global than it used to be - stores, restaurants and mindset. (P.S. I've also just completed my 100th post there! :))
Good Luck, Chennaiites! If you know of any other really good resources for kitchen implements/ foodstuffs in Chennai, do let me know in the Comments section. Thanks.

If you can stand the crowd at big bazaar, they do have an international food section which is reasonably well stocked.
I haven't been to Currimbhoys so far.....where is it located?

Valli - the 100 posts are in my other blog, not this one! But thanks! it's all with your help! :)

Arundathi, this was a really good one. My husband and I have been tinkering with the idea of spending an extended period of time in India and maybe taking up jobs. Although the only kitchens I have seen in India are those of our family, I often wonder if I would be able to cook like I do here in the US if I were to live in India. It's comforting to know that I could, and I most definitely would!

- Arundathi said...
Sunshine - :) i didnt know about it until couple of months ago...lol!
Cham - yes you definitely need money to buy all those things. they have tried to make it like a mall...
Jamie - you most definitely can and moving here for a few years would be so much fun too :)

We are of Indian origin and we have been in the US since 1983 and my wife is very interested in Indian cooking.
I have come alone to India this time and would like to speak to you about new gadgets and where to find them.
Can you email me at email@example.com?
I am a physician and from a well known family at Chennai. I grew up here.
If you cant email, let me know through this blog, what the gadgets are/what you would buy if you were us to take back to the US? I have come with my 2 kids and have 6 bags!
Is the pressure kadai something good? I have bought the sevvai magic already. We have the Ultra (big) grinder, Preeti Chef Pro and one large/one medium and one handi-all stainless and all Prestige.

Droitwich-based boxers help raise charity cash
10:30am Monday 20th February 2012
10:30am Monday 20th February 2012
FIGHTERS from Droitwich Spa took part in a boxing contest to raise cash for good causes.
A capacity crowd were treated to 12 action packed fights at the first Box for Charity event at Lanes Bar, Worcester, on Saturday, February 4.
Seven Droitwich residents were in action, each raising money for their chosen charities.
Heavyweight Louis 'The Rocket' Robinson, who was boxing for Acorns Children's Hospice and shed over two stone in the build up to his fight, won a tremendous battle against former Spa resident Kirk 'Haymaker' Harris. Both boxers gave their all with Louis finding the target with solid accurate jabs and combination punches.
He said: "It feels amazing, I trained so hard for this and can't believe the weight i've lost. Taking part in Box for Charity has given me so much confidence."
Lee 'The Bomber' Barnes, from Tibberton, raised £600 for his chosen charity Meningitis UK. He was declared the winner against Evesham firefighter Steve 'Going for Gold' Gould in one of fights of the night.
James 'Prettyboy' Harpa, raising cash for Help for Heroes, was up against heavy handed Bromsgrove boxer Glyn 'Tommo' Thomas, who was supporting the same cause. An even contest saw Thomas take a tight decision.
Dene 'Dynamo' Davies (Cancer Research), Ant 'Badboy' Badams (Children in Need) and Sam 'Pitbull' Gorman (British Heart Foundation) picked up good wins against tough opposition.
In one of the most skilful fights of the night, Davie 'Partyboy' Webb (Acorns Children's Hospice) pushed Bromsgroves Andy 'Mavis' Davies all the way before losing on points.
Barnburner Promotions will be staging Box for Charity II on May 26. For tickets call 07541133844 or email email@example.com

March 15, 2013
An avalanche closed two lanes of U.S. Highway 40 near the base of the north (west) side of Berthoud Pass near the entrance to Mary Jane ski area.
The westbound lane and one eastbound lane closed at about 12:45 p.m. due to snow piled up on the road.
Colorado Department of Transportation officials said the pass had to be closed completely for a short time in order to bring heavy equipment into the area to remove the snow.
CDOT reopened the pass at about 1:55 p.m.

Festivals can be fun for the family
11:50am Tuesday 12th June 2012
By Chris Wood
11:50am Tuesday 12th June 2012
By Chris Wood
There was a time when the only music you'd hear on a family holiday in the UK would be a tribute act playing at the camp site clubhouse. But, child-friendly festivals now mean that places like the Isle of Wight and Dorset as are as much about legendary performers as they are about the beaches and scenery.
While an ever-increasing number of music events pride themselves on offering enough to keep parents and kids entertained, the diversity of acts at many means you could go a step further and take gran along as well, writes Chris Wood.
Take the Isle of Wight's Bestival, for example.
The impressive array of vocal talents on offer this year spans almost 50 years – from Motown legend Stevie Wonder who first rose to prominence in the 1960s to 1980s synthesizer group New Order and indie band Florence and the Machine, currently at the height of their power.
Throw in the fact the festival takes place in the picturesque Robin Hill Countryside Adventure Park – a year-round children's paradise equipped with a tree top trail, maze and toboggan run with peacocks roaming about – it's easy to see why even the most unmusical-minded of youngsters would enjoy it.
Now in its ninth year, the four-day September festival allows you to start the day with yoga in a secluded woodland area, relax with poetry, comedy sketches and live film scores in the amphitheatre, while there is also a crafts marquee, kids shows in a big top and an under fives area.
But, the best aspect of the festival experience is that it gives people of different ages and musical tastes the chance to sample iconic sounds of various eras.
And because of that, every festival is a unique and in some senses once-in-a-lifetime experience.
As Bestival's curator, BBC radio DJ Rob da Bank said: "Part of my job at Bestival is giving you acts you may never have seen or will get the chance to see again."
They are also different things to different people. Bestival will be, in one sense, a giant fancy dress party with this year's theme wildlife and those attending urged to don forest-influenced getup.
It has also been described by another BBC radio DJ, Sara Cox as the idyllic setting for her favourite ever Saturday night out when she saw the Magic Numbers there.
High praise indeed, but with no Glastonbury this year and the calibre of acts on offer, organisers are confident no other festival will match it this summer.
One of the first family-friendly festivals of the summer is Latitude Festival on the Sunrise Coast, Suffolk between July 12 and 15, where there will be a special children's arena, a teen area as well as headliners Elbow and Rufus Wainwright.
Then there's Camp Bestival at Lulworth Castle, Dorset, from July 26 to 29. A spokesman described it as 'Bestival's even more family-friendly sister' and it has twice been voted the UK's best family festival.
The comedy and musical acts are equally eclectic as that at its sibling event- from Jimmy, Carr to Rufus Hound, Rolf Harris, Dick and Dom, Happy Mondays, Hot Chip and Cool and the Gang.
Nearer home, there is the Green Man Festival at Glanusk Park near Brecon from August 17 to 19, where Van Morrison will be headlining.
Again, this event prides itself on being childfriendly with designated family camping areas and like other festivals happening this summer, young children get in free while it is just £5 for under 12s.
Even closer to home the Raglan Festival, which runs from June 15 to 17, will allow you to immerse yourself in music in one of Monmouthshire's most idyllic villages without the need to camp.
While organisers were disappointed that headliners Tony Hadley and Go West pulled out, there is still an array of local talent including a battle of the bands competition.
And underlining the all-ages outlook, there will be a children's workshop at the local schoolallowing youngsters to try out instruments and find their inner musician.
But, if you want to stay in Gwent and still want the camping experience of a festival- there are a number of options here.
Ebbw Vale's Steelhouse Festival, for example, between July 27 and 29, is described at Wales' international classic rock festival and Reef and Feeder are headlining this year.
While organisers admit the music isn't always suitable for all ages, under 14s still get in free with their parents.
With camping facilities in and around the border town, you can also immerse yourself in Monmouth's music, history and scenery during its week-long festival between August 17 and 25, which is celebrating its 30th birthday this year.
It includes a carnival on the Sunday- which will incorporate street entertainers, a funfair, zorbs and chariot races.
But, perhaps Gwent's best-known summer festival- and certainly its greenest- is the Croissant Neuf Summer Party, just outside Usk, between August 10 and 12.
It is solar-powered, with free biodegradable soap and shampoo in the showers, all cans and bottles get recycled and food is 100 per cent organic and locally sourced.
Seth Lakeman plays on the Friday and Green Parent magazine recently gave it a highlycommended in its green festival awards, proving thousands of people sharing a field for a weekend needn't leave a mountain of rubbish behind.
So, when you're planning your summer holiday to the Isle of Wight, Dorset or any other part of the UK this summer – there are plenty of campsites that don't just offer a clubhouse and easy access to beautiful scenery, but come alive to the sound of music as well.

SANTA CLARA — Promising a "chain reaction of growth," Yahoo (YHOO) CEO Marissa Mayer told shareholders Tuesday that new online products, including mobile apps and original video programs, will help revive the company's struggling advertising business.
"When you build great products, users come," Mayer said during the company's first shareholder meeting since she was hired from Google (GOOG) last year. "That leads to traffic and advertising and ultimately to revenue."
Mayer used the event to show off several new or revamped products, including a mobile weather app, an email app for tablets and the recently overhauled Flickr photo-sharing service. She also ducked questions from Walmart employees who wanted her to address what they characterized as worker abuses at the retail chain, where she is a board member.
The meeting started with a trivia contest in which a master of ceremonies gave away free T-shirts to shareholders, one of whom said it was more fun than meetings he'd attended under two previous CEOs.
Mayer is the fifth CEO to run the troubled Internet pioneer in five years, and investors seem pleased with Yahoo's progress. The share price is up more than 60 percent from a year ago; it closed Tuesday at $24.96.
But Yahoo is still struggling to reverse a steady decline in advertising revenue. It lost market share to Google and Facebook last year, according to research firm eMarketer, and reported a 7 percent revenue drop in the first quarter of 2013.
Shareholders re-elected all 10 directors who stood for re-election Tuesday, including a majority who joined the board in a major overhaul last year, and endorsed the company's executive pay agreements. Mayer's was valued at $36 million last year, including stock awards that will vest over several years.
Yahoo executives took a few questions, but Mayer declined to answer several Walmart employee activists who asked to meet with her about alleged retaliation against Walmart workers who complained about unfair job practices. Mayer said Walmart directors aren't allowed to speak publicly about the company and added that Tuesday's meeting "is about Yahoo."
The CEO also ignored an awkward moment when an elderly shareholder told her, "I'm a dirty old man and you look attractive," but she responded when he criticized her controversial decision to stop letting Yahoo employees work from home.
"For our company at this time, it's right to have people in the office because that's where we find collaboration," Mayer said. "This is important for us right now. I wouldn't say always, but it is for us today."

Steeton manager Roy Mason was left 'gutted' by his side's Elland Road defeat but is determined to use their county cup run as a platform to challenge for honours next season.
He also paid tribute to the fantastic backing for the Chevrons, who were pipped at the final post 5-2 by Field.
Mason said: "The support that we have had throughout this cup run has been amazing and I am gutted for the supporters and everyone connected with the club that we were not able to produce the kind of form that we know we are capable of.
"The cup run has, however, really propelled the club forward and raised our profile.
"Not only has it attracted new sponsors but I am hoping it will also help attract a few new players pre-season as our league form dipped off from last season and a fifth-place league finish was not what we wanted.
"We will need to rebuild next season and I will be actively looking for some new faces in order to freshen the squad up and give us a realistic opportunity to challenge for honours."
Steeton found themselves 3-0 down after just 14 minutes and hopes of a comeback were thwarted by two red cards.
Mason said: "We had done our homework on Field and we knew that they would pose a threat at set-pieces, so to concede the goals that we did was very disappointing.
"We then managed to get a foothold back into the game and a moment of madness has then put us on the back foot.
"To play the entire second half with ten men was always going to be difficult and once we went down to nine men it was impossible."
Andy Holden apologised via social media after he was sent off for retaliation.
He said: "From starting the night as one of the proudest moments of my life, walking out on to the Elland Road pitch with my son Luca as mascot, to going to one of the worst nights of my life getting sent off for a silly retaliation.
"I hold my head in shame and can only apologise to all those involved with Steeton Football Club. Thanks to everyone for your amazing support. Sorry."

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. — GoPro has announced the availability of the LCD BacPac, a detachable LCD screen for the company's HD HERO camera. The LCD BacPac represents the first in a line of expansion modules to be released for the HD HERO camera. Available for order at GoPro.com and subsequently shipping to retailers around the world, the LCD BacPac has an MSRP of $79.99.
The LCD BacPac is a detachable LCD screen for the 1080p HD HERO camera. It attaches to the camera via the HERO Port - a small expansion port located on the back of the camera. As a removable accessory, the LCD BacPac keeps the HD HERO camera as small and light as possible, yet provides the convenience of an LCD screen when attached.
"We designed the HD HERO camera to be a professional HD video capture tool, and that meant planning for expandability," said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro's CEO. "At the core, we've kept the HD HERO camera as small and light as possible, cutting out everything that isn't required for capturing incredible HD content. Our wide angle lens allows for the omission of an LCD screen for most uses, but of course there are times when an LCD screen comes in handy. We're excited to provide this functionality to our customers via the LCD BacPac. This is the first of many expansion BacPacs to come, and one more step towards establishing the HD HERO as one of the most versatile cameras in the world."

HomeComputers & TabletsPeripheralsScanners
Computer Scanners
A scanner is a computer peripheral device that scans and digitizes documents, photos, drawings, handwriting, bar codes or even 3D objects. Using a moving array of optical sensors, the scanner detects the intensity (shades of gray/black/white) and chroma (colors) of each tiny element of the scanned original, and then converts it to a digital image.
Most scanners today are variations of the desktop or flatbed scanner. The flatbed scanner is the most common, although sheetfeed scanners (such as the type included in All-In-One Printer/ Copier/Scanner/Fax devices) are also very popular. Portable scanners are a great mobile scanning solution for business travelers who need to quickly scan receipts, business cards, articles, documents or photos while away from the office. And their quality continues to grow, even as their size and price keep getting smaller.
Photo scanners are also very popular as more and more consumers gravitate to digital cameras and are left with boxes of old photos and film negatives that can degrade over time. Similarly, slide and film scanners can scan directly from transparencies or photographic negatives.
There are also many other types of scanners, including barcode scanners – handheld devices (wired or wireless, depending on your needs) that are an ideal solution for any type of retail business.
TigerDirect Business offers a wide variety of scanners for any purpose, from leading manufacturers such as Canon, Epson, Fujitsu, HP, Honeywell, Motorola and many others.

It's going to be a long, dry summer for the western half of the United States.
In its latest "Drought Monitor" report, the National Drought Mitigation Center shows that drought has a firm hold on the Southwest. New Mexico is still the driest state in the nation with 90 percent in extreme or worse drought as of June 18.
Colorado is another state battling intense drought with more than one-third of the state in extreme or exceptional drought. After fighting one of the worst wildfires in Colorado history, the forecast of a drought-filled summer is already fueling more wildfire concerns.
Other states battling the prolonged drought include western Kansas, western Oklahoma and the Texas Handle. Overall, 19 percent of the corn grown and 46 percent of the cattle inventory in the U.S is within an area experiencing drought.
But the Southwest isn't the only region to live in the shadow of drought.
Bloomberg reports in an article here that a lack of heavy snowfall in the Rocky Mountains could mean water supply problems for western states.
"We have seen the shift of the epicenter to continue to push west," Mark Svobod with National Drought Mitigation Center said in a conference call. "We have seen a steady push but we still have a large footprint across the country."
In California, the drought is just beginning to take hold. Currently 67 percent of the state is in severe drought, up from 53 percent reported last week. This is the highest level reported in the state since 2000.
Click here to read more from the Drought Monitor.
The "U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook," released by the Climate Prediction Center on Thursday, shows that Arizona is the only state expected to see drought improvement through the end of September. The Outlook shows that, unlike other summer drought forecasts, much of the central and eastern Corn Belt should be free from drought.

I can't remember when I first saw the Ligne Roset Togo sofa but each time I do, I've found I grow to like it more and more. Normally I like such structured, clean lines silhouettes but I think the fact that this is so opposite makes it very appealing to me.
They're quite an investment purchase but I like to pretend I'd choose something in black leather.
The last two sofas pictured are not the Togo model but are from Ligne Roset also.

Headlines (News Releases)
Brant County couple donates $1M towards aquatic centre at new Laurier Brantford YMCA
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Mar 18/14| For Immediate Release
A Brant County couple with a long history of generously supporting their community has donated $1 million to the new Laurier Brantford YMCA Athletics & Recreation Centre. Donors Roger and Edith Davis attended the gift announcement on Tuesday, March 18 at the Brantford Family YMCA on Wellington Street along with family members, representatives from the YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford and Wilfrid Laurier University, local dignitaries and community members.
Roger and Edith Davis are the founders of Davis Fuels, a family-owned and operated fuel distributor serving Brantford, Brant County, Simcoe, Hagersville, Tillsonburg, Woodstock and London for almost 60 years. We are grateful to Roger and Edith for this generous gift, which will support construction of a state-of-the-art aquatic centre as part of the new Laurier Brantford YMCA Athletics & Recreation Centre, said Jim Commerford, President and CEO of the YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford.
The support of the Davis family for the project shows incredible leadership for our community, said Brian Rosborough, Senior Executive Officer of Wilfrid Laurier Universitys Brantford campus. Their gift today will have a positive lasting impact on the student experience at Laurier for years to come.
The facilitys aquatic centre to be named in honour of the Davis Family -- will consist of two pools for teaching, fitness, competitions, therapy and leisure. The six-lane, 25-metre lap pool will accommodate up to 180 swimmers while a second, 60-person pool will have a movable floor so that it can transform from very shallow to 2.1 metres deep, making it ideal for everyone from young children to adults. The aquatic centre will also feature a 12-person therapy pool and all will be wheelchair accessible.
The YMCA has a long history in Brantford that included swimming at its former Queen Street location. In 2005 the YMCA relocated to its current Wellington Street location that has a gym and fitness centre, but no pool. The Wellington Street location was considered temporary, until a new larger YMCA with a pool could be built. Lauriers current facility, Wilkes House, is insufficient for the expanding campus enrolment, which this new centre will accommodate and allow for expanded athletics and recreational programming.
The partnership between Laurier and the YMCA allows the two organizations to bring a much-needed athletics and recreation facility to downtown Brantford, with a state-of-the-art aquatic centre, said Commerford. The YMCA is known nationally and internationally for its exceptional aquatic programs including potentially lifesaving swimming lessons, and we are looking forward to once again offering these high-quality programs locally. Roger and Ediths gift will provide Laurier students and community members from Brantford, Brant County and Six Nations with the opportunity to enhance their health and wellness through an extensive selection of aquatic programming.
The Davis' five children all learned to swim at the old YMCA on Queen Street, which has since been converted into apartments and a Laurier student residence. Edith doesnt swim and Im not a strong swimmer so as parents we were determined that our children learn this vital and potentially life-saving skill, said Roger. We look forward to bringing this aquatic centre to the community, so that children for years to come will have the opportunity to learn this essential skill.
"The Laurier Brantford YMCA highlights what is possible when we work together in true partnership, said Rob Donelson, Vice-President: Development and Alumni Relations at Laurier. Through their gift, the Davis family is entering into this partnership. Their actions demonstrate the vital role philanthropy plays in bringing communities together.
The new Laurier Brantford YMCA Athletics & Recreation Centre, to be located in Brantfords downtown core, is a joint venture between Laurier and the YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford. The complex will also include multi-purpose spaces for group fitness classes, social, educational and cultural programming, a health and wellness centre with treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, weights and more, and a large gymnasium with retractable seating for 1,200 spectators for sport and recreation training, competitions and functions.
Construction on the $58.4 million facility is scheduled to begin this summer.

The European Union's €1.6 billion ($1.9 billion) aeronautics research effort known as Clean Sky recently has gained momentum, and officials expect to see several demonstrators running on the ground or in the air by 2014 or 2015. After a slow start in 2008-2009, the so-called joint technology initiative (JTI) is now progressing at almost nominal speed. Project leaders hope to offer timely solutions to render the next generation of aircraft more environmentally friendly; the development of brilliant technologies over a period far into the future would prove a mistake, they believe. Schedules call for the public-private partnership to end in 2017, after the European Commission and the industry each spend €800 million ($950 million) in cash and in kind, respectively.
The project centers around six "integrated technology demonstrators" (ITDs) that focus on topics such as a low-drag wing or more efficient engines. The joint undertaking, now staffed with 20, plans to launch four calls for proposals per year until 2012. They expect those efforts to bring on board more small and medium-size enterprises, until the total number of partners reaches 500.
In engines, Snecma and Rolls-Royce each continue to study contra-rotating open rotors. Snecma's work involves a direct-drive system, while Rolls-Royce works on a geared engine. How the choice gets made between the two when the time comes for flight testing, probably on an Airbus testbed, remains undetermined. Meanwhile, one of the toughest challenges will involve cutting noise by minimizing the interaction between the two rows of blades. One possibility centers on blade size. Snecma exhibited a mockup on which the first row of blades stands higher.
Some ITDs are transversal. In "Eco-design," for example, research engineers will look for ways to reduce scrap rates. More originally, a "technology evaluator" will help determine the effectiveness of Clean Sky's technologies. The simulation tool will assess the effect of the technologies on a given day at, for instance, the airport level. Developers expect to release the first technology evaluator next year.
The first Clean Sky conference took place in Brussels on June 18, more than two years after the JTI officially came into existence in February 2008. According to executive director Eric Dautriat, "There was more to do than anticipated." The first preliminary design reviews will take place this year.


text: Treatment By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Treatment for a brain tumor depends on the type, size and location of the tumor, as well as your overall health and your preferences. SurgeryIf the brain tumor is located in a place that makes it accessible for an operation, your surgeon will work to remove as much of the brain tumor as possible. In some cases, tumors are small and easy to separate from surrounding brain tissue, which makes complete surgical removal possible. In other cases, tumors can't be separated from surrounding tissue or they're located near sensitive areas in your brain, making surgery risky. In these situations your doctor removes as much of the tumor as is safe. Even removing a portion of the brain tumor may help reduce your signs and symptoms. Surgery to remove a brain tumor carries risks, such as infection and bleeding. Other risks may depend on the part of your brain where your tumor is located. For instance, surgery on a tumor near nerves that connect to your eyes may carry a risk of vision loss. Radiation therapyRadiation therapy uses high-energy beams, such as X-rays or protons, to kill tumor cells. Radiation therapy can come from a machine outside your body (external beam radiation), or, in very rare cases, radiation can be placed inside your body close to your brain tumor (brachytherapy). External beam radiation can focus just on the area of your brain where the tumor is located, or it can be applied to your entire brain (whole-brain radiation). Whole-brain radiation is most often used to treat cancer that has spread to the brain from some other part of the body. Side effects of radiation therapy depend on the type and dose of radiation you receive. Common side effects during or immediately following radiation include fatigue, headaches and scalp irritation. Radiosurgery Gamma Knife targetingGamma Knife targetingIndividual radiation beams are too weak to hurt the brain tissue they travel through on the way to the target. The radiation is most powerful where all the beams intersect. Stereotactic radiosurgeryStereotactic radiosurgery Stereotactic radiosurgery is not a form of surgery in the traditional sense. Instead, radiosurgery uses multiple beams of radiation to give a highly focused form of radiation treatment to kill the tumor cells in a very small area. Each beam of radiation isn't particularly powerful, but the point where all the beams meet — at the brain tumor — receives a very large dose of radiation to kill the tumor cells. There are different types of technology used in radiosurgery to deliver radiation to treat brain tumors, such as a Gamma Knife or linear accelerator (LINAC). Radiosurgery is typically done in one treatment, and in most cases you can go home the same day. ChemotherapyChemotherapy uses drugs to kill tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs can be taken orally in pill form or injected into a vein (intravenously). The chemotherapy drug used most often to treat brain tumors is temozolomide (Temodar), which is taken as a pill. Many other chemotherapy drugs are available and may be used depending on the type of cancer. Chemotherapy side effects depend on the type and dose of drugs you receive. Chemotherapy can cause nausea, vomiting and hair loss. Targeted drug therapyTargeted drug treatments focus on specific abnormalities present within cancer cells. By blocking these abnormalities, targeted drug treatments can cause cancer cells to die. One targeted drug therapy used to treat a type of brain cancer called glioblastoma is bevacizumab (Avastin). This drug, given through a vein (intravenously), stops the formation of new blood vessels, cutting off blood supply to a tumor and killing the tumor cells. The targeted drug everolimus (Afinitor) is used to treat a benign brain tumor that occurs in people with a genetic disorder called tuberous sclerosis. Everolimus blocks an enzyme in the body that plays a role in the growth of cancer cells. Rehabilitation after treatment Speech therapy sessionSpeech therapy session Because brain tumors can develop in parts of the brain that control motor skills, speech, vision and thinking, rehabilitation may be a necessary part of recovery. Your doctor may refer you to services that can help, such as: Physical therapy can help you regain lost motor skills or muscle strength. Occupational therapy can help you get back to your normal daily activities, including work, after a brain tumor or other illness. Speech therapy with specialists in speech difficulties (speech pathologists) can help if you have difficulty speaking. Tutoring for school-age children can help kids cope with changes in their memory and thinking after a brain tumor. Alternative medicineLittle research has been done on complementary and alternative brain tumor treatments. No alternative treatments have been proved to cure brain tumors. However, complementary treatments may help you cope with your brain tumor and its treatment. Talk to your doctor about your options. Some complementary treatments that may help you cope include: Acupuncture Hypnosis Meditation Music therapy Relaxation exercises Living with Brain Tumors Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic DiagnosisThe Mayo Clinic experience & patient stories Aug. 10, 2017 Print Share on: FacebookTwitter References What you need to know about brain tumors.

PERRYSBURG, Ohio (AP) -- An Indiana man suspected of starting a fire in a landmark mosque has been moved to Ohio, where he's in custody on $400,000 bond.
Randy Linn of St. Joe is being held in connection with Sunday's fire at the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo in northwest Ohio. The Perrysburg Municipal Court says he's charged with aggravated arson, aggravated burglary and carrying a concealed weapon.
The Ohio fire marshal's office has said investigators believe the 52-year-old Linn is the person recorded by a surveillance camera outside the center. The fire caused smoke and water damage in a prayer room at the mosque, which sits along a major highway and has a golden dome that's visible for miles.
A message was left Thursday with the public defender representing Linn.

Diarmuid's Pony Kids
Diarmuid Gavin & Jessica Kurten, Ireland's number 1 show jumper, have teamed up again (having first worked together on the BBC show 'Only Fools on Horses' ). The challenge began when earlier this year trials were held in Fettercairn to find 5 Pony kids who had raw talent and a love for horses but no formal training. Jessica, Diarmuid and showjumper & trainer, Ronan Corrigan deliberated long and hard and finally they chose Thomas, Jade, Daryl, Squeeky and Dean.
The next and biggest challenge was to train them up in 10 short weeks to be showjumpers worthy of the calibre of the RDS horseshow. Over the weeks that followed the Pony kids had to set aside their hoodies and trainers in favour of blazers, jodhpurs, chaps and riding boots and learn how to use saddles, reins and stirrups for the first time. They spent 10 gruelling weeks travelling up and down to Mullingar for daily training and amazingly not one of them missed a day no matter how tough the going got.
Their journey over the course of the series takes them from inner city Pony markets to a meeting with Royalty, as Diarmuid and Jessica expose them to every element of the Horse Industry. They see a different side to the Gardaí than they're used to when they visit the mounted unit in Aras an Uachtaráin, Thomas gets to realise a dream during a visit to McKee Barracks, they see the steeple chasers of The Curragh in action, find an unexpected kindred spirit in a big-hearted Connamara horse man, take their first flight out of Ireland to visit Jessica's stables, meet Jockeys and Grooms, Aga Khan heroes and Olympic hopefuls and spend the day with Zara Phillips at Gatcombe Park watching her compete in the art of Dressage. It's a long way from the world of bare-backing pony rider.
This 6 part series follows the Pony Kids as they move between the cobbles of Smithfield Horse Market to the Main Show-jumping Arena of the RDS, barely 2 miles apart but completely separate worlds, it's an intrinsically Dublin story. Any Pony Kid can ride a horse at a flat out gallop around the housing estates of Dublin but Diarmuid's Pony Kids must overcome every fear they have and everything they've known so far in order to learn the discipline and focus that it takes to be an RDS show jumper.
