Chris Wilper gave this presentation on behalf of the work that he and Aaron Birkland did to improve the performance of the Fedora Resource Index.
Version 2.0 of the Fedora digital object repository software added a feature called the Resource Index (RI). Based on Resource Description Framework (RDF) triples, the RI provided quick access to relationships between objects as well as to the descriptive elements of the object itself. After about two years of use using the Kowari software, the RI has pointed to a number of challenges for "triplestores": scalability (few triplestores are designed for greater than 100 million triples); performance; and stability (frequent "rebuilds").

Mario Kart
Is it me or is the new generation of handheld game systems the best thing to happen to the industry since the release of the PSone? Here I am away from my controller, away from my console, and nowhere near a TV screen and yet I am able to steal my friend's star and beat him to the finish line. He is nowhere in the room. There are no free power outlets (they're occupied by my PC), or any wires connecting our game experience.
That is the beauty of wireless, handheld gaming that's as powerful as the last generation of game consoles. With their new, N64-caliber system, Nintendo was able to realize the dream of putting a real Mario Kart game in the palm of our hands. They were also able to do something that was not possible before: take the game online.
Finally, after more than a decade of bringing joyful addiction to gamers' homes, Mario Kart could now be played at any time and at any location. Go somewhere with a WiFi connection (McDonald's is the most common, but other restaurants like Panera Bread offer WiFi as well) and you can play against gamers from all over the world. It's not like online gaming on a console where getting into a game is as easy as clicking an open race or starting your own. But it's a start, and it's got thousands of gamers hanging out at the Golden Arches – with or without the urge for a Big Mac.
Before going online, before entering your first race, know that above all else Mario Kart DS is a spectacular racing game. This isn't a rehash, or some compilation of Mario Kart's past. It hasn't forgotten where it came from – 16 of the series' most popular courses are back, marking the first time that tracks from the SNES, N64, Game Boy Advance and GameCube versions have appeared in the same game. Each of the returning courses have been re-designed for the Nintendo DS, adding 3D elements to the two-dimensional GBA and SNES tracks. Nintendo 64's courses look about the same, while GameCube's selections have been re-rendered and look fantastic on the small screen.
The other 16 courses are brand-new, Mushroom Kingdom-inspired worlds designed exclusively for Mario Kart DS. Luigi's Mansion wasn't the GameCube launch title we had hoped for, but its originality and everlasting charm made it hard to forget – thus the creation of a course based on that game. It's dark, filled with ghosts, and haunted by trees! The kind that move and will make you spin and spin. The horror, the horror!
Delfino Square should be instantly familiar to anyone who went searching for Shine in 2002. Waluigi Pinball is a quirky, eventful course where balls aren't the only thing that get bounced around. Shroom Ridge is what life must be like at the Mushroom Kingdom during rush hour. Those of you who grew up playing the NES Mario games, join me in shedding a few tears for Airship Fortress and Cheep Cheep Beach. Both tracks pay homage to Mario's earlier days, featuring 3D characters and environments that replicate the worlds and enemies Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3.
Yoshi, Wario, Peach, Bowser, Donkey Kong – no one was left out. Every major Mario Kart character has a world represents their existence in some way. Whether through inspired characters, environments or both, these courses were made for Nintendo fans.

The dual-character controls are exclusive to Double Dash, but you still get 12 different characters to choose from, including Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad. Bowser and DK are back (it wouldn't be Mario Kart without 'em), as is Daisy, though I'm still confused as to why. Is she really more popular than Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, who do not appear to be in the racing lineup? If they're hidden they're hidden really well because I have yet to find them.
There are a few notable surprises; skip this paragraph if you'd prefer to discover them on your own. Dry Bones, the skeletal Koopa Troopa that made its debut in Super Mario World, is a playable character. He's got his own unique vehicle set, as do all of the characters. Toad drives a mushroom, Luigi controls a vacuum (called the Poltergust 4000. Get it?), Yoshi rides an egg, etc. Complete each cup with a gold trophy and you'll get to use every vehicle with every character, for a total of 12 characters and 36 rides.
New to the Mario Kart series is the Missions mode. Coin collection – been there! Hitting Cheep Cheeps with a star – I don't remember doing it in a racing game before, but I'm sure I have. On the other hand, I have no memory of throwing Bob-ombs at a Pokey, nor do I remember taking on a Big Bully with Yoshi's kart. The boss battles are the best part, letting players take on classic Mario bosses like the Eyerok hands from Mario 64. Some of the missions are tedious, and there's no getting around the chore of having a near-perfect performance if you want to unlock every mission. But at the end of the stress and frustration are memorable boss battles.
You'll have to get a lot of gold trophies to acquire every playable character.
Mario Kart DS is the most connected handheld racer on the planet with eight-player close-range frequency and WiFi available. WiFi is awesome but a pain to set up, and if you don't have broadband and a wireless router, or broadband and Nintendo's USB adaptor you'll have to leave the house to take advantage of this feature. Standard multiplayer is wire-free but is restricted to a 30-feet (give or take a few dozen) area. It's instantly clear when you're getting too far away from your opponent(s) because the frame rate starts to drop.
Anyone with a DS can play thanks to the implementation of single-card multiplayer. Those playing without the game get a special treat -- they get to control Shy Guy. Courses are limited to about half of what's available. To access all 32 in multiplayer you'll just have to convince all your friends to get the game themselves.
For the first time ever the Time Trial mode keeps track of your progress. Think you've just had a really good race? Send the "ghost" image to another player with the game to see if he or she can top it.
hThere's a reason why Nintendo released a DS/Mario Kart bundle: this game is a system seller. Many of you already know the joy of this racer. Some of you, however, are still lurking in the shadows, watching us while we play, waiting for the moment when you can snatch a DS from our hands (I can see you in the screen, guys. Clear plastic is reflective). Stop being a DS-snatcher and give into your desire. I'm not saying this to sell more systems, I just want more challengers. And fewer people lurking in the shadows.
Review Scoring Details for Mario Kart DS
Gameplay: 9.5
The long-awaited Mario Kart DS is everything you could want from a handheld racer: the controls are perfect (for a kart racer using a D-pad), the course design is brilliant and nostalgic, and the replay value is unbelievable. This is the first multiplayer DS game that I can't put down. It's to the point where I'm ignoring this review so I can have another race. I can't say it's better than Mario Kart: Double Dash!! only because I love that title and am still thrilled to play it. But if there ever was a time when being just as good as its predecessor meant something special, this is it.
Graphics: 8.5
Solidly designed vehicles and characters, but the environments aren't always impressive. The new courses are beautiful and will take gamers, even younger players, back to the golden days of Mario. The GBA and SNES courses, while upgraded with 3D elements, really lack any form of visual depth. Seeing rows of colored blocks is anything but exciting, yet that's what most of the GBA courses are comprised of.
Sound: 7.5
The music is generally good, but the overabundance of sound effects are a bit much. I wasn't too impressed with the quality of the sound either. It pales in comparison to other top-tier DS releases.
Difficulty: Medium
Concept: 8.9
Do the math: 8 cups, 12 playable characters, 32 courses (half classic, half new), 36 vehicles, and dozens of new missions (including easy, moderately challenging, and so-frustrating-you'll-want-to-bang-your-head-against-a-shell). The WiFi setup could've been a lot better, but it still beats every Dreamcast, Xbox and PlayStation 2 game released when their online services began.
Multiplayer: 9.5
Who says you can't buy happiness? I got mine for $34.99.
Mario Kart DS is so addictive you'll attempt to play it single-handedly when life requires your immediate attention. "Oh no, a pipe! I should've seen that coming!" Next time life requires your immediate attention you'll be thinking, "Uhh…umm… It can wait." In other words, doctors, firemen, and police officers should not be allowed to have a DS in their possession. The old excuse, "But commander, I confiscated this from the drug dealer on fifth avenue!" will only work once.
Overall: 9.5
Mario Kart DS lives up to its legacy of having inventive courses, stellar multiplayer, and more replay value than any other racer in its class. The controls, the speed, the familiar-yet-original environments – this is the kind of Mario Kart game I would have developed! It combines elements from every Mario adventure, including his kart exhibitions.

In 2010 and 2011, faced with both beautiful skies and torrential rain, staff from Explore competed in the Trailwalker challenge. Along with 500 other teams, Explore staff trekked 100 km in 30 hours across the South Downs to raise much needed money for Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust.
Trailwalker has been helping raise funds for Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust for many years. The money raised by the teams who took part in the challenge will ensure that Oxfam can continue its excellent work around the world and that Ghurkha villages have clean, safe drinking water and sanitation facilities.
Both years, Explore has entered four teams, made up of 16 Explore staff, customers, friends and family. Each member of the team trains for many months in preparation for the trek and helps towards the fundraising effort. In total, we have raised around £15,000 for the two teams - an achievement we're pretty proud of!
Joanna Rolls, Senior Operations Manager for Explore, took part in Trailwalker in 2010 and 2011. In 2010, after 91 kilometres and 26 hours walking, Jo had to pull out of the challenge due to knee injuries – just 9 km off the end. Determined to get her medal, Jo went back the following year and successful walked the 100 km. Jo's Trailwalker blog can be found here.

- Preheat oven to 425.
- In bowl, combine all ingredients.
- Form into 1" meatballs (makes about 6-7).
- Place in baking dish or non-stick baking sheet and cook 10 minutes turning halfway through cooking time.
TIP: I usually use a glass baking dish to make these as they seem to want to stick less. Also, if you want to brown them more after cooking, you can broil them for 1-2 mins each side.
These also can be frozen in a freezer bag and then warmed up before serving. Makes a great quick meal!
Top with marinara sauce.
P.S. The kids named this one. Definitely a family pleaser!

But nowadays home theatre, play station, unlimited internet access have ensured that kids stay indoors most of the time. Add to that the lack of exercise or activity has expanded our children's waste line making them prone to lifestyle diseases and health problems. They may be cute and chubby, but overeating and zero physical activity leads to childhood obesity. With the help of Mickey Mehta, our holistic living expert and a pediatric – Dr. Virender Kumar, we get to the root of the problem and also provide solutions to curb and prevent childhood obesity. *Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images What is childhood obesity? - According to Mickey Mehta childhood obesity simply means, 'Childhood is characterized by pronounced and unexplained behavioral changes.' The only way to measure excess body fat is by calculating the child's BMI. Spotting the obesity at a young age can help your child grow into adulthood without any lifestyle problems, which brings us to our next point. Symptoms and causes of childhood obesity - The mindset of parents needs to change to stop childhood obesity. Parents believe that their child is healthy or of average weight, but fail to see the larger picture. Or another mistake is giving into children's craving for fast food. Agreed, that a child's tantrum can wreck your world, but fast food can wreck their future. These are the signs to watch out for in terms of childhood obesity: - Lack of exercise or activity – If your child does not get enough exercise or physical activity, he will gain weight at a faster pace. It can also make him lazy. Outdoor games is not only a physical activity but also builds your child's mental capacity in thinking and improves his social skills. - Snoring, asthma and exhaustion are also signs of childhood obesity - Improper diet, unhealthy beverages, and overeating are some of the major signs to watch out. - Over parents can also hamper the child's health. Health problems related to Childhood Obesity - If your child is eating more than he / she can burn, then he / she is paving the way for childhood obesity. As the child grows older he/ she will start facing health problems like breathing problems - asthma, easy exhaustion, and snoring. The child can also face joint problems, especially knee problems since the pressure of the weight impacts the knees. The child can also face hip problems. Besides this, the child will could experience sleep apnea, skin problems, Type 2 diabetes and high level of cholesterol that can lead to heart problems at an early age. Educate the child about childhood obesity - We all have cravings but it is important to balance it out with healthy food and educating children regarding this is at a young age is important. Mickey Mehta says, "This period, therefore, is crucial time to instill good food values to prepare your child for a long and healthy life. A sensible goal, during this period, is to develop in your children, a basic attitude towards sound nutrition that in time will enable them to make proper decisions about food." How a healthy diet can prevent health problems - "Good nutrition plays a phenomenal role in shaping your child's overall health. Proper nutrition can also prevent many medical problems including obesity, developing weak bones, heart ailments and diabetes. It also ensures that your child grows to its full potential" says Mickey Mehta, this must be goal for child's health. He adds, "Growth is influenced by nutrition. Frequent attacks of infectious diseases affect their growth and increase their requirements of various nutrients. Repeated illnesses, especially common illnesses like diarrhea, measles and other respiratory infections are usually seen as the major causes of poor nutrition in children during these years." Parental advice to stop childhood obesity - Mickey Mehta believes a healthy child should have a role model, "You as a parent can promote good nutrition by setting a good example. A well planned diet will protect against most illnesses and will promote proper development of strong bones, teeth, firm muscles and healthy tissues." Meal planning to prevent and stop childhood obesity - "Sensible and planned snacking should be used to fill up the gaps. These snacks should be treated as part of the day's food planned not as forbidden treats. If your child is eating its food with the rest of the family, use this time to teach table manners and personal food control." "Meal times should be quite and pleasant and is the ideal time to teach children the basics of table manners. Eat slowly yourself and encourage your child to do so as well. Good manners and formation of likes and dislikes are influenced in the early years. The emphasis should be on family eating habits that are healthy." Tackling fussy eaters - We have all gone through this phase and have noticed it in children too, Mickey explains how to go about it, "Between the ages of 5 to 8 children become picky and fussy eaters and are prone to refuse foods, especially healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. It is best not to make an issue of it while trying to make sure that it gets the basic nutrients that it needs. Studies have shown that aversion and phobia are learned at home from siblings and should be tackled in a subtle manner before these aversions become phobia for life." Teenage Obesity - "Another alarming trend and concern for parents and health care professionals is teenage obesity. An increasing number of teenagers are overweight and are at risk of many medical problems like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea and diabetes. Obesity can also affect their self-esteem. It requires a combined effort from parents and children to understand and accept how a sensible diet and regular exercise can help alleviate this malaise." Tips and tricks to provide your child with good nutrition: - Provide your child with a well planned and structured meal as well as snack options. - Make the meals attractive and appealing with variety. Looks and appeal never fails to grab ones attention, same goes for children. Tips to Prevent and Stop Childhood Obesity: - It is prudent to never force them to eat more in terms of quantity. Teach them to recognize hunger and eat accordingly. Forcing anyone at any age to do something hardly works. - Food preferences of the child must be considered. Once you know what your child enjoys eating, you can prepare healthy dishes around it. Tips to Prevent and Stop Childhood Obesity: - Make meal times a family affair with fun and emphasise on mealtime regularity. This is a dying family event; sadly technology has taken its place. - Do not encourage eating while watching TV and limit hours spent with computers. We may have not noticed but we tend to eat while watching T.V. or surf the net. - Let fast food outlets and special treats be once a week event. Cravings should not be ignored, and indulging in them once a week in limited proportions is allowed. Tips to Prevent and Stop Childhood Obesity: - Encourage meals with fruit and vegetables. - Avoid or discourage use of beverages like tea, coffee and soft drinks as they tend to be addictive and are stimulants. - Discourage them from having fat laden snacks like burgers, pizzas, samosas and other fried foods on a regular basis. - Encourage exercises, outdoor activities, swimming and yoga. Mickey Mehta suggests some healthy snack ideas for your children: 1. Whole grain sandwiches with peanut butter or low fat cheese. 2. Oatmeal muffins 3. Parathas with fillings like spinach, cauliflower, mixed left over vegetables etc. Use ghee from cow's milk, moderately. 4. Burgers with tofu and other healthy fillings. 5. Nuts or dry fruits 6. Sprouts or corn 7. Sugar and salt must be used in moderation 8. Cooking methods like baking, steaming and grilling are recommended. Be a role model to fight childhood obesity - Mickey Mehta cannot emphases enough the importance of a child having a role model to look up to. "Parents and siblings play an important role in promoting and encouraging good nutrition and healthy eating; children adapt well. If exercises, eating with family and proper sleep can be inculcated, it becomes easier and beneficial for both you and your child to follow a pattern that ensures that your child grows and develops well physically, emotionally and physiologically emotionally and physiologically." Pediatrician, Dr. Virender Kumar from Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute sums up different ways to prevent childhood obesity. He says, "Parents play a major role as far as prevention of the onset of obesity in children is concerned. They should encourage their children to engage in more physical activities and outdoor games rather than exposing them to hours of watching television, sitting in front of computers and using other gadgets. Further, a diet consisting of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole cereals should be given to the kids as it helps in keeping obesity at bay. The children should be asked to avoid processed and junk foods as well as aerated drinks."

In a fascinating casting choice, Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson will star in an upcoming adaptation–leaping from Stephenie Meyer to Don DeLillo in a single bound.
Critically-acclaimed director David Cronenberg will be adapting DeLillo's Cosmopolis, and the cast is still being sorted out. The 2003 novel studying one eventful day in the life of a young New York City millionaire.
Here's more from Deadline New York: "Marion Cotillard and Paul Giamatti are also reportedly doing the film, but those same reports had Colin Farrell poised to take the lead role … Pattinson is following a path based on strong filmmakers and tasteful source material. He took the role because he is a big fan of Cronenberg's work and an admirer of DeLillo's books."

For the first time, blacks voted at a higher rate nationally than whites.
The 2012 election will of course be noted by history for its outcome: The United States re-elected its first black president, a milestone many commentators argued that was even more momentous than Barack Obama's first election. Now with a few months' reflection – and some fresh data out today from the Census Bureau – it turns out that the 2012 electorate was itself historic, marking a watershed for both black voters and America's increasingly diverse voting public.
For the first time, blacks voted at a higher rate than whites in a presidential election. More than two-thirds of eligible blacks cast a ballot (66.2 percent), more than two percentage points higher than turnout by non-Hispanic whites (64.1 percent). Since 1996, when the Census Bureau first started to collect consistent citizenship data, the black turnout rate has increased by 13 percentage points.
Between the 2008 and 2012 elections, the number of non-Hispanic white voters actually decreased by about 2 million, marking, according to the Census Bureau, the only example since 1996 of a decrease in net voting by any race group from one presidential election to the next. The total number of Americans who reported voting has risen every election since 1996 (as the population has also increased). But this last data point suggests that most of the growth in the latest election cycle came from minorities.
All of this means that politicos will have to contend not just with America's changing demographics, but also with evolving voting patterns among individual demographic groups. Minorities comprise an ever larger share of the U.S. population. But if they also continue voting at higher rates election over election, that math will compound their growing political power.
Blacks are now voting at an even higher percentage that demographers might expect based on their share of the total population eligible to vote. In 2012, blacks were 12.5 percent of the eligible electorate. But they accounted for 13.4 percent of the vote (Hispanics, on the other hand, have long been and remain underrepresented in vote totals based on their share of eligible voters).
In aggregate, the white share of total votes cast dropped by about 9 percentage points between 1996 and 2012, a trend likely to continue. 2012 may well turn out to be an anomalous year for black voters heading to the polls to re-elect a black president. But the broader demographic story behind these trends has little to do with Barack Obama: America is growing more diverse, and the American electorate will inevitably follow.

Meade breaks 37-year-old UMaine triple jump recordFormer Medomak Valley High School athletic standout excels for Black Bears
Waterville — Four years ago, then Medomak Valley High School senior Nate Meade won the state Class B championship in the triple jump.
Four years later Meade, now a senior at the University of Maine in Orono, again is making headlines for his exceptional jumping ability.
Meade broke UMaine's indoor triple jump record Jan. 18 during a meet at Colby College with a jump of 49 feet and 2 inches. Meade's jump broke a 37-year-old record, previously held by Dan Cochrane, who jumped 48-11 in 1976.
"For four years Nate has accomplished quite a bit up at Orono and his work has gone largely unnoticed by most, including his own university," said Jacob Newcomb, a Panther track coach. "We here at Medomak [Valley] are very proud of his accomplishments."
In his senior year at Medomak Valley in 2010, Meade attempted a triple jump for the first time late in the season prior to the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference Class B championships.
Meade went on to win the KVAC title with a jump of 40-11 and later won the state Class B title in the same event with a jump of 42-7.
Meade is an electrical engineering technology major at UMaine.

How can I root my i9000 on 2.3.3?
Model number
Firmware version
Baseband version
Kernel version
root@SE-S604 #2
Build numer
Bought in Thailand last year and updated via Kies only with the official updates.
I have been searching and reading for over a day (admin check my IP in the webserver logs if you like) to find out how I can root my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 International,
ideally keeeping my settings, launcher, homescreens, SMS, apps ... without having to restore backups ..
I am happy with keeping close to stock.
I backed up apps, sms, callhistory, kies backups just to be safe
Both 3-button combos are working
I came across SuperOneClick but it didn't work, it's not supposed to work on 2.3.3 Gingerbread
Then in severeal threads where ppl specifically asked about DXJV9, the FuguRoot Mod was suggested.
A question remains:
- there is no stock kernel listed for DXJV9 but the instructions say you have to flash with it afterwards, where would I find it
There are some kernel files listed in this guide but none of them for DXJV9.
Also I would be unsure if I need to extract the zImage-root.tar before specifying it in odin, inside is a file called zImage without file extention. Another guide said the .tar needs to be extracted first.

Apple's iTV project is exactly what I have been hoping they would do – create a media link from my network to my television. Bring it on. But waiting until Q1 2007 is such a tease, although I can see if the reason were to bring in a higher bandwidth specification for wireless.
I have to wonder about the long stretch between now and launch though, and the motivation behind announcing so early. Are they concerned a competitor will release a similar box beforehand? Probably. I mean, that's why Microsoft does vaporware announcements – to create that purchase anxiety so people will wait for their offering before buying something that already works and is available in the marketplace.
Zune, Microsoft's attempt to piggyback on some of the iPod shine, really looks like something I stepped in last week. The thing is an obvious iPod knock-off – looking like a cheap plastic piece of crapware that I would probably find in a flea market or mounted in cardboard and plastic in the Safeway toy aisle. I actually resisted commenting on this for a while, but when I saw the brown, I had no choice. Sorry.
The announcement of the Zune certainly has generated it's share of poopy journalism, too. What really cracks me up is how people think that the wireless DRM-protected music sharing feature is going to force Apple to somehow react. As John Gruber points out:
If the Zune were already shipping, and people were buying it, and this feature proved to be popular, then, yes, Apple would need to do something about it. Or even if the Zune had just now shipped, and we could actually see this feature and determine that it was actually pretty cool, then, maybe, Apple would need to do something about it. But the Zune is vaporware.
Not only does the Zune look like a floating steamer, but in typical Microsoft fashion, it is all just pie in the sky now and months away from actually seeing the light of day. Every competitor to the iPod has crashed and burned so far, and it doesn't look like Zune is promising to be much different. It's not that I wouldn't like to see a competitor, but no-one seems to have been able to step up to the plate yet.
Nintendo's Wii looks pretty damn sweet. And looking at the comparatively steep price points for Sony and Microsoft's bloated systems, combined with some cool new features, I suspect it will compete just fine in the game console marketplace. With plenty of interesting games (including Zelda, Mario, and Sonic themes), an innovative (if somewhat odd) game controller solution, and it's low price point, it should do well. I myself lean towards the Wii, simply because it's cheap, the kids are pretty young, and no-one does that much gaming in our house anyway. (That would have been my job before, but life is busy these days…)

Complaint Review: Ascentive

Ascentive How to file reports against Ascentive Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
While routinely checking my bank account transactions online, I have discovered an unauthorized charge of $59.99 from originating from Ascentive, LLC. I have never done, or planned to do business with the said company. I have immediately notified my bank that the fraudulent charge has occurred, and canceled my debit card associated with the affected account. After doing some research, Ive realized this is a fraudulent company and there is no benefit to a consumer to contact them directly. Usually, the first thing the nave consumer does, is to contact the company first in hope of being given an explanation and retribution. Often the consumer is very emotional about their complaint. After some hand twisting and threats, the company eventually agrees to refund the consumer the charge, humiliating the consumer in the process, because he or she didnt understand the rules. What I urge the consumers to do is not to waste their time and direct their energy at legally prosecuting the company. First, you have obviously determined that you are dealing with thieves, and the thieves will do everything possible at intimidating you physiologically (not giving you contact options, blaming you, and finally getting off the legal hook by refunding you). But you should keep in mind that for every 10 consumers going through this process, there will be always 20% who simply either give up, or just miss the charge and never report it. This is how the thief is earning their illegal profit. Therefore, I urge that consumers take their time and rationally approach this issue.
- Cancel
your debit/credit card to ensure no further charges.
- Call
your banks dispute department and demand the refund. The refund will be
credited to your bank account within a couple of days.
- Research
the Company. States have databases with companys registration
information, founders name, address, etc.
- Contact
the authorities and file reports. It is better NOT to report against the
company, file the complaint against an individual who is the head of the
- File
the POLICE REPORT immediately referencing similar fraudulent activity as
evidenced by other consumer website complaints.

Rotherham captain Lee Frecklington will start against Cardiff in the Sky Bet Championship.
The influential midfielder has come off the bench in the last two games following a calf injury but boss Alan Stubbs has confirmed he is now ready to start.
Right-back Darnell Fisher returns from a one-game ban and will replace Stephen Kelly, who has a thigh problem, while on-loan midfielder Tom Adeyemi is unavailable against his parent club.
Striker Dexter Blackstock is likely to be in the squad as he builds up his fitness following his free transfer a fortnight ago, though a place on the bench is the best he can hope for.
Cardiff boss Paul Trollope will assess the fitness of midfielder Anthony Pilkington before naming his squad.
Pilkington was withdrawn from last week's home defeat to Leeds due to a thigh injury and remains doubtful as the Bluebirds bid to avoid a fifth straight league defeat.
Trollope has no new major injury worries but could be tempted to make changes with Lex Immers, fellow striker Frederic Gounongbe and winger Kadeem Harris in contention.
Midfielder Stuart O'Keefe remains a long-term absentee as he recovers from a broken arm.

NEW YORK - For more than a decade, Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis were the faces of the Tampa Bay Lightning franchise.
But tonight, the longtime linemates who helped the Lightning capture the Stanley Cup in 2004 will be facing off against one another as the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers meet in Game 1 of a first-round Stanley Cup playoff game at Madison Square Garden.
"I've known him for a long time obviously — we go back to '94, playing high school together and then junior and then the NHL, it's going to be fun to play against him, for sure," said Lecavalier, who was bought out by the Lightning at the end of last summer and signed with the Flyers as a free agent.
St. Louis, meanwhile, joined the Rangers at the NHL trade deadline in a deal that sent Ryan Callahan back the other way.
"He was a great teammate," said St. Louis. "He's a pretty big physical presence and uses his body pretty well. Having him on the other side is going to be a little bit different but I'm used to it now, playing this year against him."
Although they kept in touch during the season, neither player has reached out to the other going into this playoff series.
Going into Game 1, there's plenty of talk about how the role players on both teams could have an impact on the series, especially those who can get under the skin of their opponent while avoiding undisciplined penalties.
"(The Flyers) play hard and we've got to make sure we play hard against them, make sure we're finishing our checks, wearing their guys down as much as they're going to try to do it to us," said Rangers winger Derek Dorsett, who will play alongside Dominic Moore and Brian Boyle in Game 1. "It's going to be an intense series, an emotional series and we've got to be ready for it. That's a fun way to play. But you can't get too high. You find that line and not not cross it."
Playing a physical game is definitely part of the Flyers' game plan.
"It's huge, especially for their top players who will be playing a lot of minutes," said Flyers winger Wayne Simmonds. "If we can get pucks in deep and grind down their D, it will be beneficial to us. It might not work out in the first game or the second game, but as you get later on in the series, maybe guys are going to be tired and they're not going to want to go back and get the puck and maybe it does make a difference."
The Rangers have won eight consecutive games against the Flyers at Madison Square Garden, but you know what they say about stats at this time of the season.
"It doesn't matter now," said Rangers Brian Boyle.
Flyers head coach Craig Berube said veteran goalie Ray Emery is up for the challenge of filling in for injured starter Steve Mason, who is out with an undisclosed upper-body injury that is suspected to be a concussion.
"(Emery) has won a Cup (as the backup for the Chicago Blackhawks last season) and he went to the finals with Ottawa (in 2007). He's played a lot of good hockey and he's played a lot of good hockey this year for us," said Berube. "I've put him in different situations this year, more on the road early on and he's responded really well. Like I said, Ray has won a lot of big games over his career, he's got a lot of experience and he really enjoys the challenge."
As for Mason, Berube said he's making progress and will meet the team in New York on Friday, though he's not sure if he'll be ready to play in Game 2 on Sunday.
For the Rangers, winger Jesper Fast skipped the morning skate for what head coach Alain Vigneault called maintenance but he's expected to play in Game 1.
Puck drop is slated for just after 7 p.m. ET and here are the projected lineups for both teams:
Martin St. Louis-Derek Stepan-Rick Nash
Mats Zuccarello-Derick Brassard-Benoit Pouliot
Carl Hagelin-Brad Richards-Jesper Fast
Brian Boyle-Dominic Moore-Derek Dorsett
Ryan McDonagh-Dan Girardi
Marc Staal-Anton Stralman
John Moore-Kevin Klein
Henrik Lundqvist
Cam Talbot
Scott Hartnell-Claude Giroux-Jakub Voracek
Michael Raffl-Brayden Schenn-Wayne Simmonds
Matt Read-Sean Couturier-Jason Akeson
Zac Rinaldo-Vincent Lecavalier-Adam Hall

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is rolling out a new social media marketing campaign to promote the benefits of Energy Star®-certified LED lighting and raise awareness about the companies and products that earn the label.
The focal point will be a new dedicated Facebook tab that will be featured on the Energy Star page starting in September. It will also be available to energy-efficiency program sponsors and others throughout the vast Energy Star network to host on their Facebook pages as well. EPA will curate LED manufacturer marketing content and activities that highlight Energy Star for dissemination through the Facebook tab. This content will also be promoted through supporting social media channels such as Pinterest and Twitter and influential blogs.
Partner features can be as extensive and frequent as the content warrants. Desired content includes:
--Product or promotion images of certified product with prominence of the Energy Star logo
--Maximum 30-second videos on Energy Star-certified LED product or promotion with mention of Energy Star, the logo and ideally something that highlights the value and mark of quality
--Short and interesting/fun facts, trivia or past posts/tweets that can be repurposed on the product or promotion to be used in social media posts/tweets
--Links to blogs or news sites that spotlight the Energy Star LED product or promotion
--Exciting content like product launches, discounts/coupons and limited time promotions
--Favorable online customer ratings and reviews
As part of this effort, EPA would like to collaborate with LED manufacturers in working with influential bloggers (e.g. Big Green Purse, Treehugger, CNET, HGTV) to communicate what differentiates products based on their Energy Star certification and manufacturer features. LED manufacturers may be interested in supporting these activities by collaborating on blogger experience stories about their certified products.

Things To Do In Dallas Tonight: Nov. 28
I don't want to sound like a braggart, or invite any some of…unnecessary tension into my life, but I am killing it at Letterpress right now. My friend Pam's kinda cranky about it ("Go easy on a newbie–what exactly did you not understand about that?") But if you are, like me, irrationally territorial and highly competitive, especially when it comes to word games, you should get in on this. Pam claims that "it's not fun when you're the prey and you don't even know why. Bleeding out the innocent." But it is so much fun.
Now that y'all know what I'm doing instead of like, say, eating lunch or sleeping at night, here are some idea to occupy your evening. How To Dress Well, aka Tom Krell, is playing The Loft, accompanied by Beacon and Datahowler. I will just leave you with these two songs: "& It Was U" and this killer cover of R. Kelly's "I Wish," which came my way courtesy of Bradford Pearson. Hat tip. Listen to those, and then you will want to attend this show. If not, I'll think about eating that hat I just tipped. Also of note, I've changed my mind about something (a rare feat). I'd been avoiding Cedars Social like the plague up until earlier this month after three truly terrible experiences last year, but I have recently come to the conclusion that if you just go to drink and not to eat, and you sit at the bar and not in the "dining" area, you'll be fine. Which is good, because I'm 78% more likely to enjoy a concert if I can have a well-made Moscow mule beforehand. And then maybe more after.
Also this evening, the WaterTower Theatre has a production stuffed full of Christmas cheer: It's A Wonderful Life, staged as a live radio play. It's five actors, playing all the roles–George Bailey, Ma Bailey, Clarence Odbody, and more. Our critic, Lindsey Wilson, has great things to say about it. Namely:
Part of the joy of attending WaterTower Theatre's production of It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play is its accessibility, no matter your level of familiarity with the movie. Looking to introduce someone to the beloved story? Philip Van Doren Stern's ageless tale of gratitude and appreciation still resonates. Been watching the film yearly since it was released in 1946? You'll delight in the vocal quirks the actors nod to in their performances. Feel like there's nothing new left to discover about Bedford Falls? Test your trivia knowledge by spotting the sly in-jokes hidden throughout the show.
Conclusion: go see it and cure your early Grinchitis.
For more to do tonight, go here.

HOUSTON (ICIS)--Replacing all plastic packaging in the US with non-plastic alternatives would result in an 80% increase in energy use, according to a study released on Monday.
Using 2010 as its baseline year, the study assessed energy requirements and greenhouse gas emissions of six categories of plastic packaging produced and sold in the US and Canada – caps and closures, beverage containers, rigid containers, shopping bags, stretch/shrink wrap and other flexible packaging.
According to the study, replacing all plastic packaging in the US would result in the equivalent of adding 15.7m greenhouse gas-emitting automobiles to the country's roadways.
Also, non-plastic alternatives require 4.5 times as much packaging material by weight, and thus switching to them would increase the amount of packaging used in the US by nearly 55m tons (50m tonnes), the study said.
The study was prepared by Franklin Associates for the American Chemistry Council (ACC) and the Canadian Plastics Industry Association (CPIA).
"We all know that plastic packaging plays a critical role in protecting and preserving everything from groceries to high-end electronics. This study demonstrates that plastic packaging also makes a significant contribution to sustainability by dramatically reducing energy use and lowering greenhouse gas emissions," said Steve Russell, vice president of ACC's Plastics Division.

If you''ve asked me to describe Ancient''s music several years ago, circa 2003, you'd hear as a result something along the lines of "a weak Cradle of Filth impression" or "CoF wannabes", since Ancient aim at being ''grandiose'' and ''theatric'' (see also Dimmu Borgir), yet when CoF are doing it with certain chique, or however you spell it, Ancient's attempts sounds more like a cheap parody - alongside the occasional use of synth ambiances, Ancient also used to feature a female vocalist, yet apparently from CoF''s Sarah, Deadly Kristin barely offers something, apart from looks, yet she still thought that she could sing. Bad, bad idea.
And then "Night Visit" came and wiped that all away. Yes, Ancient are still playing melodic BM in the vein of the bands specified above (but more Dimmu Borgir, since they don''t incorporate gothic elements after all), but still - lots of things have changed. First of all, no more Deadly Kristin (except the only appearance at the first track, luckily no singing). Second - the band significantly matured when it comes to music writing: the riffage became more agressive, partly because of the 2-nd guitar in the face of Aleister and the drumwork is remarkable also. You can still hear them experiment with heavy-metal-like riffage (see the beginning of track #3 - "Horroble", which is coincidentally my favorite track on the album), but most of the album is definitely BM, with no gimmiks this time. Except one, and that''s the weakest point in the album - it would be Aphazel.
Aphazel is by no means a really bad vocalist, but while musicwise the band has made a huge leap forward, his vocal performance stood still at the same point, sometimes involving odd elements (like the part in track #2 when he sings "Mesmerise my fucking vortexsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss", which sounds like a dentist''s drill) which sound plain bad, but the main problem about the vocals is that they no longer fit the music. On Night Visit there''s plenty of parts that are born for a clean passage, or a low growl, or a spoken word, but the only thing you'd hear here is screeching and screeching again with zero tonal changes, negating the great impression given by every other aspect.
Yet the bottomline remains the same: it''s a worthy offer indeed. Check it out if melodic and ''untrue'' BM speaks to you, you won''t regret it.

We are under siege by our government and special-interest groups that do not want moral responsibility.
The world is offering the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of Christians without a word of protest. Massacres in Syria come from some rebels whom the United States support. The Muslim Brotherhood is burning churches and killing Christians, which the media and the White House keep largely silent. Here in the United States, our military is threatened if anyone dares bring up prayer and the name of Jesus Christ. It's becoming increasingly difficult to pray in public, in businesses and in schools, or teach American history that promotes our Christian heritage.
Political correctness has infiltrated our churches, so we cannot speak out against immorality or anti-Christian sentiment. We are shouted down and we are not heard when we shout back. There was a pro-life march on Washington, D.C., but the media devoted, by one count, only 22 seconds of air time covering the event.
The shame is not on those who persecute us. The same is that we do not stand against it.

Pollen In The Wind
I know not where I go. know not where I'll be.
I trust the wind, my path she chose for me.
Millions of us, the potential of life
Pass through fields, torn with strife
All of us, in the wind we sway
Some of us die, others go astray
The chosen ones decide, where they fall
To beauty and grace, be trees so tall
I know no anger, jealousy or rage,
I'll love you for always, though life's a stage
I search for you, long to be warm
Close to your heart, away from scorn
Other than you, I need none
Maybe the wind, and maybe the sun
For my life is ...

It comes as little surprise to see the name "Shepard" in another Augusta Futurity finals, but this time it's not Austin or his father, Sam.
Harris Shepard marked 213.5 on Especially Thomas in the Futurity Non-Pro go-round Friday morning to advance to Saturday night's finals. Mary Ann Rapp and Reyzin won the go-round with 217, while Jodie Cerny and Grace Kellie finished second at 216.
The top 17 horses with scores of 211 or better moved on to the finals, which begin at 4:30 p.m. at James Brown Arena.
Shepard, 18, is starting to cut his teeth in the cutting horse circuit. Last year, he showed in aged events on a full-time basis and he made the Augusta Futurity Non-Pro finals in 2012. Now, he works his schedule around college.
A freshman at Jefferson State Community College in Alabama, Shepard just finished his first semester. He plans to get a degree in business in the future, but he's unsure where he's going after junior college. Then again, college wasn't his idea. His dad convinced him to enroll.
"I'd just like for him to get an education," the elder Shepard said. "The main thing is in case you get hurt doing this and you can't ride horses. I always worry about that."
Harris Shepard lives in Verbena, Ala., with his parents, Sam (a hall of fame trainer) and Pam, and his younger sister, Emma. Harris also has two older siblings: Austin, his half-brother (who's raked in more than $5 million in rider earnings), and Stephanie, his half-sister. Harris helps Sam with his horses, though this wasn't what he thought he'd be doing when he was younger.
"When I was a little kid I didn't really care for it much," he said. "But when I was 13, I got roped back into it and have been hooked ever since.
"I've got a lot of great people to learn from, that's for sure. I'm very blessed."
Especially Thomas is a mare by Thomas E Hughes out of Smart Ricochet owned by Sam Shepard. The Shepards raised and trained the horse.
"She's been a blessing," Harris said. "She's turned out to be a great mare for me.
"She's got a lot of energy. She's happy all the time. She's real easy to train. Real smart."

Conference may set murder trial date
After Monday, the dates should be known to begin the first of two showpiece murder trials for which Milam County has waited almost two years.
Prosecutor Bill Torrey told The Reporter a scheduling conference is set for Monday afternoon to discuss setting trial dates for Brandon Cotton and Tanner Baker, who are accused of capital murder in the April 25, 2011, slaying of Sandra "Sandy" Phillips of San Gabriel.
Prosecutor Bill Torrey, who took office Jan. 1, has decided to seek the death penalty for Cotton, who is accused of firing the shotgun blast which killed Mrs. Phillips. That's the same decision former Prosecutor Kerry Spears had made.
Torrey said Cotton's case will come to trial first.
Spears had announced she would seek life without parole for Baker.
The cases have been delayed several times.
Cotton was originally to have gone on trial Oct. 9, 2012, and Baker on Jan. 7, 2013, but the cases were delayed as Cotton's lead attorney, Russ Hunt Sr., was arguing a capital murder trial in Waco.

Me- So... the people from ____ came up with a list of the top 25 Best Marvel Superheroes.
Alvaro- Yes! It's Marvel's 75th birthday! So, to celebrate this, let's geek out! What's your personal top 10 favorite heroes and why?
Me- Describe the list with one word.
A- That list in one word... awkward. Lol!
Me- In word... meh.
A- It felt like they were trying to appeal to a broad audience rather than genuinely making a good list.
Me- Yep!
actually Night Thrasher, the leader of the
New Warriors from the 90's.
Me- Ok. Tell me who he is cause' I've seen
the character, but I've never actually read any of
his books.
A- He's like Nightwing in a way. I don;t think he
ever had his own book besides New Warriors, maybe
a mini series.
Me- A black Nightwing? Ok. Why haven't I read
this before? LOL!
A- Yeah, he had billy clubs, a skateboard and a badass costume! And before Milestone Media, it was one of the few black characters that had an important role on a somewhat popular book.
A- Miles is a great character!
Me- Yeah he is! Bendis did an amazing job creating him.
on Spidey. My #4 is another odd one, Darkhawk.
That was a very underrated series from the 90s too.
Me- Darkhawk?!? I've never read one of his
comics either.
A- Darkhawk, from issue #1 all the way through
maybe issue #20 was great, almost as good as
Robin; then it just got weird. Lol!
Me- REALLY?!?!?! As good as Robin?!? WOW!
Now I'm really curious.
A- Almost!!! Actually, the artist left Darkhawk to
draw Batman, back when Azrael took over as
Batman in issue #500; during the Knightfall saga.
Me- Interesting. I remember the cover to #1 with the foil embossed cover and him jumping at the reader.
A- Marvel tried HARD to push him, he even teamed with Spider-Man once. Lol!
A- Wolverine is great, he just needs to die for one year at least and return as the loner bad ass from the 80s, not this Uncle Wolvie, Avengers member and teacher at Xavier's!
Me- Yessir! THAT'S Wolverine, not this school principal crap! So, who's your #3?
A- Dardevil, Frank Miller before losing his mind, John Romita Jr, Mark Waid, and the chemiclas that blinded him created the Teenage Mutangt Ninja Turtles!
Me- Yes Daredevil! I like Matt Murdock, we actually talked about him on our last Cosmic Portal 2.0 podcast because of the upcoming Netflix tv show.
A- And not that horrible movie!
Me- Jaja! I actually enjoyed the movie of what it was. It could've been much better; but I've watched it at least 20 times!
A- Jennifer Garner made it at least somewhat watchable for me.
Me- Jaja.
A- I always thought Matt Damon would've been a badass Daredevil.
Me- Really? Yeah, I guess you're right He does look kinda like him, he can act and kick ass as well.
A- And The Bourne Identity confirmed it for me!
A- The good Captain!
Me- Yeah man, the moral compass of the Marvel Universe. The one human that even a god will follow to the gates of hell! Cap to me goes beyond comic books, he is what we should all aspire to be; rather than Batman.
A- Yeah, in events in the US his character seems to transcend. One of the most emotional scenes ever in comics to me was the 9/11 issue of Spider-Man, when Captain America doesn't even have words.
Me- When he died, Wolverine was in denial. Wolverine!!! In Civil War The Punisher let Cap beat him down and didn't throw a single punch back because of how high he thinks of Cap. That speaks volumes!
A- Definitely!
Me- In the Ultimate Universe there's a scene when Miles Morales is confronted by Cap and he, as powerful as he already is; nearly pissed his pants because of who Cap is. That tells you right there... Cap is something else.
Me- THOR!!!!!!!!! He's actually my #1, but
you should've known that; you probably did.
A- It's ok, you should know my #1 lol!
Me- If you liked the Jurgens run, you'd love
the Fraction/Coipiel run, it's the stuff of legend! Fraction's run made me proud to be a Thor fan.
A- I have to read Fraction's trades.
Me- Yes you do! I mean in the Fraction run he fights Silver Surfer, Galactus and we get Fear Itself... EPIC STUFF!!!
A- Damn!
Parker. Jaja!
A- He's the everyman, perhaps the most identifiable character ever created.
Me- It's very hard not to like him.
A- And actually, my #1 spot is shared, Spider-Man and actually... Firestar!
Me- REALLY?!?!??!
A- Yes! Unless it's One More Day Peter Parker lol! Yes, of course her introduction was in the cartoon with Spidey, so we have history.
Me- What about her makes her your #1B?
A- She was the Harley Quinn of her times, created for the Spider-Man and his amazing friends cartoon series, then got popular and was introduced into the comics.
Me- Did she ever take off in the comics? I haven't read anything with her on it.
A- Sort of. She went on to be in New Warriors from the 90's but really got lost in the shuffle. I loved the New Warriors from the 90's!
Me- I was just gonna say, you must've loved that New warriors series!
Me- My #1, the Asgardian god of Thunder and true powerhouse of the Marvel Universe... The Mighty Thor! Thor has been my favorite since before I knew he was my favorite character. I fell in love with the character with the 60's cartoon series that I watch in re-runs with my uncle back in Puerto Rico.
A- Oh wow, yeah!
Me- Thor is so powerful and yet so noble that he almost allows himself to get hurt by characters like the Hulk because in his heart, he cares about Banner. If he really wanted to, he could decimate everyone in the Marvel Universe, and it doesn't matter the cost; he'll put his life on the line if it means that his friends will be ok... I just love that about him!
A- One of my favorite Marvel animated projects was Hulk vs Thor!
Me- Yes! You see there, Thor is holding back; and Hulk is just pummeling him! It's mainly because of Thor's heart, he doesn't want to hurt him; or kill him.
A- That was great, and he was a frog!
Me- I'll forget you said that. Jeje. But we've seen how powerful Thor is when he fought Galactus and basically blew his brains out in the Fraction/Coipiel run.
A- I really have to read that!
Me- That's the beauty of comic books, we all have our own favorite characters.
So, to all the arrogant people out there thinking they have the "definitive top 25 marvel characters list"... there is no such thing!!!
A- Indeed!
Me- So, I guess this has been a good discussion on who our top 5 Marvel heroes are, and I already have a topic for us to discuss next time! :)
A- Cool! Honorable mentions to Wolverine, Gambit, and Rogue, but they have changed so much these last 15 years I just don't care anymore lol!
Me- I hear ya. Alright my brother I guess this will wrap our discussion. Until next time...
stay Truthful people!

Photographer's Note
Well... The "TAJ" (or "TAJ MAHAL") does not need any introduction. I was there in one of the foggy mornings of winters in Northern India.
In this series of pics, I have tried to capture some tourists at Taj... different nationalities, different dresses, different moods... to begin with... tourists in silhouette against a backdrop of "framed" Taj.

Echo Farm: Tasty Pudding Made by Women
Of course the pudding is made with milk that comes from female cows, but those aren't the women I'm referring to. Echo Farm is an all-women operated farm (1 of 165,102 female run farms in the U.S.)
Not only do I feel good about supporting an all female business, these women treat their cows with only the highest amount of respect and care. At their farm in Hinsdale, N.H, their cows' comfort is one of their top priorities.
Their milking cows are let out twice a day for "recess." This gives their girls a chance to get off the cement floor of the milking parlor. They are housed in stall free barns, which means the cows are not tied up and are free to roam about the barn.
They have fresh feed and water available to them at all times and are milked twice a day (once every 12 hours). Their cows are given bedded packs to sleep on, made with sawdust, that allow the animals a soft place to lay down and room to stretch out.
Echo Farm makes delicious pudding that is Kosher and Gluten Free. You can find sensational flavors that are named after their original 6 cows. Check out Miracle's Chocolate made with Ghiradelli cocoa, Lolly's Butterscotch, and Candle's Coffee Caramel. They also make Spiced Pumpkin and Coconut Cream pudding.
Fit's Tips: Each serving contains fresh whole milk, so it's a delicious treat that has 15-23% of your daily calcium needs. Just remember it is made with whole milk so there are 6 grams of fat per serving, but if you are craving something milky this might just be the treat.

Europe's Optical Illusions Make a Splash in USA
Nothing is what it seems through the technique of trompe-l'oeil. Made you look!
Street videographer Brusspup is more than meets the eye. In his latest creation, a clever optical illusion painted on the bottom of an empty pool, he uses the dips and rises to create the semblance of a giant pool ball. The most interesting aspect of the piece is that there is only one angle in which the piece can be seen the way it is intended to be. The video allows us to see all the different views leading up to the one that fools us.
The method that he uses is called "trompe-l'oeil," which means "Fool The Eye," and dates back to ancient Greek and Roman times, though it was not made popular until the Baroque period. The method consists of using real angles of objects to create the optical illusion, that whatever has been painted on them will appear three dimensional.
Below is a more traditional example of trompe l'oeil from 1874 by Pere Borrell del Caso on a flat surface, creating the illusion in "Escaping Criticism."
