My wife and I were on holiday in Northumberland last week in Hexham, we popped in to the Beales Department Store on Monday, just for a look round. We have been looking for a Sofa Bed for some months, but have not seen anything in shops or on line to attract us. When we came upon the 'Bensons for Beds' department in the store, we asked an assistant if they had anything suitable and he was able to show us a Texas Sofa Bed which exactly met our needs and was very comfortable and easy to adjust between various positions. We decided to go ahead with the purchase and the assistant was very helpful and completed all the formalities very efficiently, explaining all the terms of contract and delivery options. We chose an early morning Monday delivery for this week and he promised that this would be confirmed by telephone and that the delivery driver would even call about half an hour prior to delivery. When we arrived back home on Saturday a telephone message had been left for us confirming all the details of delivery between 7 am and 1pm and then on Monday, sure enough we had a call from the driver at 6.40am that he would arrive within 30 minutes. The bed was delivered about 20 minutes later and they even carried it right up to the bedroom where we wanted it. The whole transaction and implementation had taken less than 7 days and every promise made had been kept to the letter. We were very impressed by this exceptional service and the very friendly approach adopted by everyone involved, particularly the prompt delivery. Many thanks to all concerned.

Growth plates are present in the bones of every growing child. Growth plates are areas of developing cartilage near the ends of bones. Once the growth of the bone is complete, the growth plates close and are replaced with solid bone. Because growth plates are the weakest area in a growing skeleton, they are vulnerable to injury.
Repetitive stress is a common cause of growth plate injuries. This minor injury can occur in any bone with a growth plate and often results in inflammation. This commonly affects the growth plates in the heel bone, this condition is called Sever's disease. Thisfrequently occurs when the child is undergoing a growth spurt and whilethese injuries can be painful, they do not have any long-term effects. We often manage these injuries with physical therapy, supportive shoes and orthotics to reduce stress on the affected growth plate.
Another cause of growth plateinjuriesis through a direct injury – often causing a fracture at or through a growth plate. An x-ray is taken to visualize the fracture pattern. Growth plate fractures are evaluated through the Salter-Harris classification system.
In this classification system, the fracture is classified based on where the fracture is in relation to the growth plate. The fracture pattern will give us clues as to how well the fracture will heal and if growth in the bone will be impeded. In looking at the fracture patterns, we predominantly look at where the fracture is in relation to the growth plate, if the fracture is displaced from its normal anatomic position and if there is any compression injury to the growth plate. Fractures that cause compression of the growth plate or are displaced have a poorer prognosis than those that do not.
These growth plate injuries are often treated with immobilization in a cast or boot. If the fracture is displaced, the doctor may need to reduce the fracture back into its anatomical position with surgery or manipulation.
Growth plate injuries are fairly common in children. Less severe injuries do not often lead to complications, but certain growth plate fractures can lead to a loss of bone growth. It is important to have the injury evaluated by a doctor to determine the best course of action for the injury.

On July 24, 2006, The Heritage Foundation hosted an event, "Rethinking Visa Policy for the 21st Century," which examined the strengths, weaknesses, and needed policy changes in U.S. visa policy.
Stewart Baker, Assistant Secretary for Policy at the Department of Homeland Security, outlined how an applicant obtains a regular visa for entry into the United States. One must complete an application, undergo an interview at a U.S. embassy, be fingerprinted and photographed, and pay a $100 processing fee. These requirements often discourage people from traveling to the United States. The process is much simpler for a citizen of a country in the visa waiver program, Baker explained. Citizens from countries participating in the program can travel to the United States with a passport and without a required fee or visit to an embassy. In turn, U.S. citizens can travel to countries that participate in the program without a visa.
The visa waiver program serves several functions: it spurs tourism and economic investment, rewards U.S. allies, ensures reciprocal trade benefits, and mitigates national security and immigration risks. The program began in 1988 when the United Kingdom and Japan became beneficiaries of visa waivers. Since 1999, no new countries have been admitted to the program due to the elevated security standards post-9/11. Some government officials have lobbied to end the program completely. Nonetheless, a number of Eastern European and Southeast Asian countries are among the "aspiring nations" that hope to be admitted to the program in the near future.
Dan Griswold, Director of the Center for Trade Policy Studies at the Cato Institute, made the case for expansion of the visa waiver program. Visa waivers promote economic and diplomatic ties with our friends and allies, according to Griswold. He cited a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report which stated that elimination of the program would cost the government $28 billion over five years in lost economic activity from the drop in tourism. Moreover, the GAO found that eliminating the program would not enhance national security. Griswold sees no reason why the program should not be extended to other countries-such as Poland, the Czech Republic, and South Korea-that closely resemble other nations in the program in terms of population and per capita income.
Michael McCarry, Executive Director of the Alliance for International Educational and Cultural Exchange, discussed the public diplomacy impact of visa waivers. According to McCarry, the State Department needs to regulate exchange programs in a way that makes the U.S. accessible and welcoming. He cited the success of the Exchange Visitor Program, which issues Department of State J1 visas at no cost to the federal government to 275,000 students annually to study or participate in work exchange programs. These students, many from countries on the "aspiring nations" list, spend time in the U.S. and then leave with a positive impression of the country. These programs can have a great impact on how other nations view the United States, he explained. A United States that is hospitable and welcoming to people from other nations would greatly improve the conduct of public diplomacy.
Any successful visa policy must help win the long war the United States is currently fighting. Visa policy must provide security, facilitate economic growth and competition, strengthen civil society, and create the right image of America throughout the world. Expansion of the visa waiver program accomplishes all four of these tasks.
James Jay Carafano, Ph.D., is the Senior Research Fellow for Defense and Homeland Security in the Sarah and Douglas Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation. Kevin Pudas, an intern at The Heritage Foundation, contributed to this WebMemo.

Interplay - still FOOLish
by Dhruin, 2006-11-21 23:05:21
As usual, No Mutants Allowed continues to track Interplay and the latest news is that following a (relatively) successful period of debt reduction, they will actively pursue securing funds for Fallout Online (FOOL). Head to NMA for the nitty gritty on the SEC filings and the full story but here's a grab from everyone's favourite, Herve Caen:
Having significantly reduced our debt over the past two years, we are now in an improved position to raise capital. This private placement will be another critical step toward the funding and development of our Fallout property into a Massively Multiplayer Online Game, which represents our plan for growth in the coming years.

New mother is UK's first swine flu victim
A new mother who gave birth prematurely has become the UK's first patient to die while suffering from swine flu, it emerged today.
The 38-year-old, who had underlying health problems, died at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, Scotland.
It is the first death to be reported outside the Americas, where there have been at least 145 fatalities of people suffering from the virus.
The woman gave birth almost three months early around a fortnight ago at the Royal Alexandra Hospital.
It is understood the child, which was born at 29 weeks, does not have swine flu.
The mother, who had been critically ill in intensive care, was one of 10 being treated in hospital in Scotland.
Scottish Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said: "I'd like to express my condolences to the patient's family and friends. This is a tragedy for those concerned and they have my heartfelt sympathy.
"Tragic though the death is, I would like to emphasise that the vast majority of those who have H1N1 are suffering from relatively mild symptoms."
Professor Hugh Pennington, a bacteriologist at Aberdeen University, said: "It's very sad but with the number of cases we have seen it is really something which was always going to happen sooner or later. Unfortunately it is to be expected.
"It does not point to the virus getting nastier. All the evidence to date suggests the virus is not changing at all.
"This is a flu virus, it is in no way different from an ordinary winter flu virus, so if there are enough cases some people will have to be admitted to hospital and some will die."
He said the presence of underlying health problems was likely to be a "significant factor", adding: "It makes it more likely that they will get the serious form of the virus in the first place."
A Health Protection Agency (HPA) spokesman said: "In the majority of cases so far swine flu has been generally mild but it is proving severe in a small minority of cases. The risk to the general population remains low."
A further 61 new cases in England and 35 new cases in Scotland confirmed yesterday brought the UK total to 1,261.
Of the new cases, 39 appeared in the West Midlands, where 354 people have now been affected by the virus.
There were nine new cases in London, seven in Yorkshire and Humberside, three in the South East, two in the East of England and one in the South West.
In Scotland, 32 of the new cases were in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area, and the Highland, Forth Valley and Grampian health boards had one new case each.
There have now been 752 cases confirmed in England, 498 in Scotland, eight in Northern Ireland and three in Wales, according to figures released by the HPA and the Scottish government.
Saturday saw the biggest one-day rise in the number of confirmed infections, with 172 patients in England and Scotland confirmed with the H1N1 virus.
On Friday, Health Secretary Andy Burnham encouraged people not to panic after the World Health Organisation announced the world is now in the grip of a flu pandemic, the first in more than 40 years.
The last flu pandemic in 1968 killed about a million people.

Israeli Occupation, Settlements Are Impeding Mideast Peace, Erekat Says
Top Palestinian official rejects comments by Quartet envoy Tony Blair, according to which the Arab Spring was complicating the peace process, saying that it is Israel's policies that hinder talks' resumption.
Israel is impeding efforts to achieve Middle East peace, Saeb Erekat, the former chief Palestinian negotiator said on Monday, rejecting comments by Quartet envoy Tony Blair, according to which the so called Arab Spring was destabilizing the region and harming the peace process.
On Sunday, Blair was quoted as saying that Arab pro-democracy could complicate peace efforts between Israel and the Palestinians, saying that it "is a great thing that people are wanting democracy, but in the short term there is reduced stability in the region so that can pose problems for Israel and the peace process."
"Because of the instability and uncertainty in the region, it's right that we grip the peace process and put it back on track again," the Quartet envoy added.
Speaking to Palestinian radio on Monday, however, Erekat rejected Blair's critisim, placing the blame for the lack of Mideast peace progress squarely on Israel's shoulders.
"It is the Israeli occupation which is impeding peace and democracy," Erekat was quoted by the Ma'an news agency as saying, adding that the Palestinian side remains committed to all international guidelines and terms of the Quartet's roadmap for peace.
The top Palestinian official was quoted by Ma'an as saying that Israel's publishing of new settlement plans and its disregard for peace process guidelines were the reasons Mideast peace has yet to be achieved.
Erekat's comments came as Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman attacked Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' conduct, calling his the "greatest obstacle" to the peace process.
"If there is one obstacle that should be removed immediately, it is [Abbas]," he said. "If he were to return the keys and resign, it would not be a threat, but a blessing."
"The only thing that interests Abbas is to inscribe himself in the history books as he who brought about the Palestinian state and the reconciliation with Hamas," Lieberman added. "Anyone who succeeds him would be better for Israel. If Abu Mazen goes, there would be a chance to reignite the peace process."
Referring to the report in Haaretz earlier Monday regarding the defense establishment's recommendation that Israel release Fatah prisoners as a gesture to Abbas, Lieberman said he had never heard of such a proposal and would oppose the move vehemently.
"I don't know of any such recommendation, and I completely oppose every gesture," he said. "I would not agree in any way if recommendations such as these were brought to cabinet."

Although the home had been ransacked, officers did not know if anything had been stolen because the resident was away and couldn't be reached, according to police.

An administrative sales assistant at an insurance agency quit after learning that her personal phone calls were being monitored and recorded by her company through a hidden tape recorder.
She sued, alleging illegal wiretapping of her personal conversations and making related state law claims. The insurance agency tried to get the case tossed out, arguing that the nature of the business required what many companies routinely do, monitor calls for quality assurance and to gauge employee performance. Plus, the monitoring policy was outlined in the employee handbook, which put employees on notice and implied their consent.
But the court let the case go to trial. It said the company erred by monitoring every conversation on that phone line, business-related or not. Because of this, the recording wasn't subject to the "business extension" exemption under federal wiretapping law. (Smith v. Devers, No. 01-T-551-N, M.D. Ala., 2002)
Advice: Take this ruling as an important reminder of the guidelines for monitoring employees' phone conversations, something many firms do in the name of customer service.
First, remember that the business-exemption exception doesn't give your firm carte blanche to record all phone conversations conducted on business phones. The law provides that if a call is personal, no interception is allowed beyond the point needed to determine whether it's personal or business-related. Instruct supervisors to hang up the minute they make that determination.
Second, when relying on an employee's consent to monitor conversations, get it in writing.

Mosquito trap
Lentek MK05 Champion Mosquito TrapLentek MK05 Champion Mosquito Trap - - Lentek MK05 Champion Mosquito Trap utilizes the documented attractiveness of body temperature (thermal imaging), color (exclusive blue light system), octenol (includes 1 cartridge, which is good for approximately 60 days; extra octenol cartridges are available below), and airflow in an effective design to attract and capture mosquitoes and other blood-seeking flying insects.
HOW IT WORKS: The Mosquito Trap operates by capturing a steady number of egg laying females, thus gradually reducing the overall local mosquito population. To achieve the best results from your Mosquito Trap, you must leave it in operation full time during the mosquito season. This product is not meant for ocassional use, such as during an outdoor party.
A capture of only a few mosquitoes daily will have a substantial future impact. Lentek recommends operating the trap full time. In a few weeks you should notice a marked reduction in the mosquito population around the area, as well as a reduced number of mosquitoes in the trap. Since mosquito eggs can survive for several seasons, using your trap this season will also reduce the number of eggs hatching next season.
Similar traps have been in use for years by universities, state monitoring programs, and researchers around the world. The Lentek MK05 uses this traditional trapping approach, combined with the latest in ongoing research, to turn the female mosquito's natural hunting techniques toward seeking out the trap and facilitating capture in a product that private homeowners can use.
Up to 1/2 acre coverage. Dimensions: 9"L x 9"W x 10.5"H; weighs 15 pounds. 110 volts; UL/CE/CUL approved. 10' power cord (40" to adapter; 80" from adapter to plug). 1-year mfg. warranty.

Mewtwo (Wizards Promo 12)
Mewtwo (Japanese: ミュウツー Mewtwo) is a Psychic-type Basic Pokémon card. It is one of the Wizards Black Star Promos.
Card text
Pokédex data
|Mewtwo - Genetic Pokémon
|6'7" (2.0 m)
|269 lbs. (122.0 kg)
|Pokédex entry
|A scientist created this Pokémon after years of horrific gene-splicing and DNA engineering experiments.
Release information
This card was released as a promotional card. In Japan, it was released as part of a special expansion sheet available at the 7th Next Generation World Hobby Fair held in December 1997. It was later reprinted as one of a selection of cards included in the Pokémon Song Best Collection CD, released on January 1, 1999. The English version of the card was released through Nintendo Power Magazine in April 2000. It was later reprinted in Legendary Collection, which was released outside of Japan.
- Magic: The Gathering illustrator Christopher Rush provided the artwork to replace the original Japanese artwork by Ken Sugimori. The explanation behind this was to probably ease confusion that may have arisen due to the similarity of the Japanese artwork of this card to that of the first promo Mewtwo, as both are modified from Sugimori's Generation I stock art.
- As the Japanese version of this card was distributed as part of an expansion sheet, it, along with Pikachu and Mew are often regarded as unofficial additions to the Vending Machine cards collection, dubbed "Series 00".
- The English version of this card was also released in Japan as a promotional card for completing the JR Stamp Rally in August 2000, along with an English version of Eevee.
Telekinesis is a move later introduced in the Generation V Pokémon games that Mewtwo can learn via TM19. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 21 (UPI) -- Senior citizens at a conference in New Orleans booed Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan on Friday when he called for repeal of Obamacare.
Both Ryan and President Obama addressed the American Association of Retired Persons gathering.
Ryan quoted President Lyndon Johnson's remarks when he signed the Medicare bill. Johnson said the guarantee of health coverage for those over 65 helped both young and old.
"Today, our nation faces a political turning point. Government mismanagement and political cowardice are threatening both sides of LBJ's pledge," Ryan said. "Seniors are threatened by Obamacare, a law that would force deep cuts to real benefits in real time for real people."
"The first step to a stronger Medicare is to repeal Obamacare because it represents the worst of both worlds," he added.
Ryan didn't mention that his own plan for Medicare includes the same cuts Obama's health plan does.
Ryan, a congressman from Wisconsin, and Obama, who spoke from Washington via a video hookup, used older relatives as examples.
Ryan's 78-year-old mother joined him in New Orleans while Obama paid tribute to his "fiercely independent" grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, who died in 2008 two days before he was elected president.
"I have strengthened Medicare as president," Obama said. "We've added years to the life of the program by getting rid of taxpayer subsidies to insurance companies that weren't making people healthier. And we used those savings to lower prescription drug costs and to offer seniors on Medicare new preventive services like cancer screenings and wellness services."

He's the Edmonton Oilers poster boy for minor league development.
They may want to put up a picture of Kyle Brodziak in the Springfield Falcons dressing room for motivational purposes.
A seventh-round pick (214th overall) in the 2003 entry draft, Brodziak was never really expected to play in the National Hockey League. Players chosen that far down the list often wash out, end up being career minor leaguers or find their way to Europe.
Yet the six-foot-two, 209-pound centre bided his time, developed his craft in the system, eventually earning an everyday spot in the Oilers lineup.
Now heading into his second season, Brodziak, 24, is a bona fide NHLer.
"I feel fairly confident going into the year, I feel I made some strides especially towards the end of last year," Brodziak said.
"I think I proved to myself that I can score in this league. That's what I'm trying to do - still play as responsible as I did in my own zone last year, but also try and contribute a bit more offensively.
"We're all excited about the season ... The new additions are going to be huge for us. The guys that were hurt for the majority of the year are back. That's going to be huge as far as experience goes, and as to what they can do on the ice, as well."
Brodziak finished with 14 goals and 17 assists in his first full season with the Oilers. He centred the team's fourth line and was a valuable penalty killer down the stretch.
"I think it took me a little while last year to gain some confidence," Brodziak said. "Before you play a full year, you don't really know what to expect. There are so many ups and downs. But by the end of the year I started to feel like I was belonging more and I started gaining confidence."
Brodziak is guaranteed his spot on the fourth line and will likely start the year between Zack Stortini and Marc Pouliot.
The trio played together in the Oilers' preseason victory over the Florida Panthers at Rexall Place on Friday.
"We've all played together before, we all know how we all play," Brodziak said.
"I think that would be a pretty easy transition to have Pouliot come and play in that spot. We're familiar with each other from our days back in the minors together."
A former junior star with the Moose Jaw Warriors, Brodziak began his professional career with the Edmonton Roadrunners during the NHL lockout.
He then spent a season with the Iowa Stars before going on to play with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
Brodziak scored 24 goals in his final AHL season and played in Edmonton last year knowing he could be sent back at any moment.
Such won't be the case this year.
"It is quite a bit different," he said.
"Physically it's the same, you are working just as hard as you did the year before whether it be in the gym or on the ice.
"But mentally, I think it's been a little bit easier. It's not as stressful coming to the rink every day not having to worry whether you are staying or your going or where you're going to be.
"That helps a lot to relax and allows you to prepare when you get the ice."
So far during training camp Brodziak has played well. He scored the Oilers only goal in a 2-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks last week.
The Oilers host the Calgary Flames (7 p.m.) Tuesday, before rounding out the exhibition season with a trip to Calgary and Dallas next weekend. They'll open the regular-season on Oct. 12th by hosting the Colorado Avalanche.
"I think, going into this year, I just have to remember what it is that gave me success before," Brodziak said.
"The last little while, towards the end of the year, I was playing a little less uptight, I wasn't as scared to make a mistake.
"When you're on the penalty-kill your mind is not racing 100 miles an hour, you are able to relax. You still have to work as hard as you can, without letting your mind play tricks on you."

After a few days of delays, my stuff from Grays of Westminster has finally arrived.
I've already unpacked my D3s, 600mm f4 and the 14-24mm f/2.8 and going to be playing with that this afternoon and get the rest out tomorrow. Got to pace yourself or you will die under a piling of boxes and bubble wrap.

Christianity is an extension of Judaism
Islam is a modification of Judaism
Basically, the religions say dont be greedy, dont complain too much, dont cause unnecessary wars, and to house thy enemy.
These religions also call for judgement and forgiveness.
I believe religion has brought people closer together.
any Christian that would kill for money and money entirely is not Christian.
Chrisitanity nor Judaism says to kill people to make other people join. oh , btw the numbers for the battle in the desert in the bible are not exact, I thought those were the numbers, but they may not be. All I know is that Moses had to keep his hands raised in the air to win the battle.(he was VERY old and it was difficult to keep his hands in the air for a while)

Team Ratings
C. Abbiati
Was perhaps more busy that he would have anticipated, but was relatively solid whenever called into action. Pulled off an excellent save against Thiago Ribeiro when the Brazilian half-volleyed towards the near post, and produced another great save from a Nene free kick in the latter stages.
I. Abate
Allowed Thiago Ribiero to get beyond him and get a volley in on goal which was Cagliari's best opportunity of the second half. Became more solid as the game went on but was reluctant to go on his usual marauding runs down the right.
M. De Sciglio
The youngster had a solid outing, but struggled slightly with the power of Ibarbo when the Colombian was driving towards goal.
P. Mexès
Showed glimpses of his trademark hot-headedness throughout the match which could have seen him saw red, but when he showed composure he was excellent and always attempted to build play from the back. Just needs to curb his temper.
D. Bonera
Saved Milan's in the 27th minute when he recovered wonderfully with a last ditch challenge on Pinilla when the Chilean looked poised to strike on goal, but was a tad reluctant at times in possession.
N. de Jong
His job is to break up the play of the opposition and he didn't excel at his task. Was neat as always in possession but awarded far too much room to Conti in particular.
U. Emanuelson
A relatively quiet match for the Dutchman. Attempted to cut inside at every opportunity when on the right and was foiled more than once by Daniele Conti as the Cagliari man patrolled the edge of the box. Has had much better games.
R. Montolivo
Provided a defence-splitting pass for El Shaarawy's opening goal of the match. However, after this he played within himself and resorted to short passes in the midfield rather than ambitious balls between defenders.
G. Pazzini
Almost got on the scoresheet when he cleverly flicked the ball towards goal only to see his attempt blocked by Astori. Was not awarded too much room inside the box and often found himself outnumbered.
S. El Shaarawy
Head and shoulders the best player on the park. Took both goals with composure and confidence beyond his years and was a constant threat to Cagliari. His pacey movement always enabled him to create space for himself to affect the play.
M. Agazzi
Darted out of his defence well in the first five minutes to smother the ball at the feet of El Shaarawy. However, was eventually outdone twice by the 19-year-old and could not do much about either strike.
F. Pisano
Got off to a poor start in the game when he stupidly took Emanuelson out with a bad tackle next to the corner flag just four minutes in, which left him fairly neutered. However, recovered to form a decent attacking partnership with Ibarbo down the left after the Colombian switched sides.
L. Rossettini
Displayed a lack of communication with his defenders when he played El Shaarawy onside for the first goal. Did not have a particularly poor match but did struggle with the pace and movement of the Milan front three.
D. Astori
Terrifically blocked a clever flick by Pazzini that looked destined for the net in the first half. Solidly got about his game for the majority of the match and bar his block in the first period, did not allow Pazzini a lot of room to manoeuvre inside the penalty area.
G. Perico
Had his hands full all night with star of the night El Shaarawy. Was guilty of letting the Italian come inside basically every time he got the ball, where he is most dangerous. Did not offer much in an attacking aspect.
D. Conti
Was the catalyst for all the central play of his side and pulled the strings from a deeper position. His performance was severely tarnished in the second half when he inexplicably used an elbow to stop the run of Pazzini, and was sent off with 25 minutes remaining.
D. Dessena
Linked up well with his team-mates in the midfield trio was box-to-box for the majority of the match. His passing was not as incisive as the other two but he showed plenty of desire in the final third without being particularly dangerous.
R. Nainggolan
Was always in the faces of the Milan midfield and acted as the playmaker for the away side in advanced areas. Picked out a number of excellent passes in between the lines of midfield and attack.
M. Pinilla
Was far too wasteful in the final third despite finding himself in decent positions throughout the match. Had a couple of attempts that went miles over the crossbar in the first half and missed a glorious headed opportunity two minutes after half time.
Thiago Ribeiro
Tested the reflexes of Abbiati in the first half with a lashed half-volley from the left-hand side. Gave Abate a lot to think about when he cut inside from the left wing but his shot was his only real contribution. Brought off 10 minutes into the second period.
V. Ibarbo
Came within inches of finding the net in the first period when his drilled shot towards the bottom corner just went by the post. Also came incredibly close in the second half when his glanced header shaved the post. Was a danger all evening.

This web cam is available during the daylight hours here in the islands…and when there's a big moon shining down during the night at times. Plus, during the nights you will be able to see stars, and the sunrise and sunset too… depending upon weather conditions.

We can use the following links to see what's going on in our area of the north central Pacific Ocean. Here's the latest NOAA satellite picture – the latest looping satellite image… and finally the latest looping radar image for the Hawaiian Islands.
~~~ Hawaii Weather Narrative ~~~
Typical trade wind flow across our islands…or just a bit stronger than that. Here's the latest weather map, showing the Hawaiian Islands, and the rest of the North Pacific Ocean, along with a real-time wind profile of the central Pacific…focused on the Hawaiian Islands. We have a moderately strong, near 1030 millibar high pressure system located far to our northeast…with its associated ridge extending southwest and west to the north of the state. At the same time, we have a small trough of low pressure located offshore well northwest of Kauai. Our winds will remain the gusty late spring trades, with only small daily variations in speed and direction…well into the future.
Satellite imagery shows high level cirrus clouds now moving east, away from the state…with scattered lower level clouds locally. Looking at this larger satellite image, we see an area of high level clouds having moved further away to the east of Hawaii. At the same time, we find a counterclockwise rotating upper level low pressure system to the north-northwest. As the higher level cirrus clouds move away, we'll see more sunshine beaming down during the days. Here's a looping radar image, showing mostly light to moderately heavy showers being carried along in our trade wind flow, impacting the windward sides here and there…which typically increase again during the nights into the early morning hours.
Fairly typical trade wind conditions…with somewhat more windward showers than normal. The windward sides, as the trade winds remain somewhat stronger than usual, will bring those showers our way in an off and on manner. Our weather will follow climatology quite closely through the next week at least, which means the trade winds will be our dominant weather feature…along with those passing windward biased showers. The leeward sides will find lots of sunny weather through the weekend. I'll be back again Saturday morning with your next new weather narrative from paradise, I hope you have a great Friday night wherever you're spending it! Aloha for now…Glenn.
Here on Maui, at the 3,100 foot elevation, at my upper Kula, Maui weather tower, the air temperature was 56.7 degrees at 545am on this Friday morning. Skies are partly cloudy overhead, made up of the lower level cumulus clouds traveling along our windward coasts and slopes…and the high cirrus that lit up a pretty pink at sunrise this morning!
We're into the early afternoon hours now at 1235pm, under partly cloudy skies, light breezes, and an air temperature of 75.2 degrees. Clouds are spreading across the island more so than yesterday, brought our way on the trade winds, and those of which are gathering around the mountains…and slipping down towards the coasts locally. Update at 130pm, under mostly cloudy skies, a light shower, light winds…and an air temperature of 75.4 degrees.
We're into the early evening now at 525pm, under clear to partly cloudy skies, light breezes, and an air temperature of 74.7 degrees. Most of the high and middle level clouds have pulled out to the east now, although I can still see a few streaks around…which could provide a little at sunset. Otherwise, a fair night, with those windward biased showers, and another nice day Saturday. The surf will come up some along our south and west shores, which will be a treat for our local surfing community. The surf shouldn't be so large, at least in most areas, that it will be overly dangerous.
Friday Evening Film: There's no shortage of films playing now, although to tell you the truth, there's not that many that greatly appeal to me. There is one however, called Edge of Tomorrow, starring Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, Jonas Armstrong, Charlotte Riley, and Lara Pulver…among many others. The synopsis: the epic action of "Edge of Tomorrow" unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world. Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop-forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.
The ratings are very good, ranging between 89% liking it of the critics…and 91% of the audiences liking it. I was pleased and entertained, which is exactly what I want from seeing any film. I found this sci-fi thriller, all of the following…smart, engaging, witty, exciting, and quite a joyride from start to finish. I always have some difficulty with the creatures, you know, the weird enemy things that fly around, and are generally nasty and vicious, which this film had plenty of, oh well…I guess its difficult not to have them flying around killing people. I enjoyed seeing Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt doing their thing, they worked well together in my opinion. As for a grade, I'm coming down with a B+, well deserved I'd say. Here's the trailer in case you are interested.

inland and is dissipating. However, the remnants of this system
could continue to produce gusty winds and heavy rains, along with
life-threatening flash floods and mud slides, over portions of
southeastern and eastern Mexico during the next day or two.

Interesting: Massive rocky planet challenges traditional views of planet formation – Astronomers have discovered a rocky planet that weighs 17 times as much as Earth and is more than twice as large in size. This discovery has planet formation theorists challenged to explain how such a world could have formed. "We were very surprised when we realized what we had found," said astronomer Xavier Dumusque of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, Massachusetts, who led the analysis using data originally collected by NASA's Kepler space telescope.
Kepler-10c, as the planet had been named, had a previously measured size of 2.3 times larger than Earth, but its mass was not known until now. The team used the HARPS-North instrument on the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo in the Canary Islands to conduct follow-up observations to obtain a mass measurement of the rocky behemoth.
It was thought worlds such as this could not possibly exist. The enormous gravitational force of such a massive body would accrete a gas envelope during formation, ballooning the planet to a gas giant the size of Neptune or even Jupiter. However, this planet is thought to be solid, composed primarily of rock.
"Just when you think you've got it all figured out, nature gives you a huge surprise — in this case, literally," said Natalie Batalha, Kepler mission scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. "Isn't science marvelous?"
Kepler-10c orbits a sun-like star every 45 days, making it too hot to sustain life as we know it. It is located about 560 light-years from Earth in the constellation Draco. The system also hosts Kepler-10b, the first rocky planet discovered in the Kepler data.
The finding was presented this week at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Boston.

Review of Searching for Sugar Man, directed by Malik Bendjelloul
By CHRISTIAN HAMAKER
This September, a singer from Detroit performed "a charming and awesomely odd show"—his first in the Washington, D.C., area in many years. It was a wonder he attracted a paying audience, given his relative obscurity and advancing years, and the fact that, even in his heyday, he never had much of a U.S. following.
But the performer, Sixto Rodriguez, has been recently rediscovered in America thanks to Searching for Sugar Man, a documentary that continues to pull in consistent grosses while playing in very limited release. After six weeks, the film was approaching $1 million in receipts, despite having never played in more than 33 theaters.
Why the interest in Rodriguez? Because his story is not just a tale of overdue recognition of artistic talent, but a triumph—of sorts—over death. Not physical death, but the death of an artist, the kind suffered when expectations aren't met, when products don't sell, and when changing tastes and business realities chew up and spit out musicians, bringing an (often premature) end to their careers.
Rumors of Rodriguez's demise—accepted and assimilated into Rodriguez lore—didn't help. Described in the film as "the most grotesque suicide in rock history," Rodriguez was rumored to have killed himself on stage. But—and this is worthy of a SPOILERS warning—Rodriguez is alive. He resides in Detroit, in the same house he's lived in for decades. He's a home renovator content with his line of work, and he has given away much of what he's made off of his musical success—particularly in South Africa, where he's sold hundreds of thousands of records.
The film wants us to admire Rodriguez, to root for his restoration, but I was never sure what to think of the man. Is he talented? Sure. Is he worthy of admiration and recognition by his peers and fans? Definitely. But "Searching for Sugar Man" hints at something more profound, more spiritual, in the person of Rodriguez.Rodriguez is said to lead a simple life free of material concerns. The producer of Rodriguez's second album describes the musician and songwriter as being "like a wise man, a prophet … way beyond just a musical artist." When he plays his music, it's "something transparent, something universal," says an admirer of Rodriguez, and he challenges us to "ask yourself: Have you done that?"
The film depicts Rodriguez as untainted by the pressures of the music business, above material concerns, and a Messiah figure of sorts. Have we done what he's done? Will we follow his example?
Watching the film, I found myself thinking about the written testimony of Christ, the historical witness that serves as the primary basis for our faith in Jesus. When people question Christ, they sometimes ignore the clear revelation of him that we find in Scripture. Or, perhaps more often, they question the validity of that testimony. But two centuries of such questions, whether they come from ancient heretics or today's Jesus Seminar, have failed to make much of a dent in the growth of Christianity. We have reliable historical manuscripts that attest to Jesus' life and his claims about himself.
Sixto Rodriguez made a couple of records and then dropped out of sight. He had a few fans. Despite his popularity overseas, Rodriguez was living below the radar in the United States, with many fans assuming he was long dead. The film doesn't indicate that this belief was deliberately sowed by Rodriguez, who seems oblivious to the controversy and content to leave that part of his life behind him.
However, his fans won't let him be. He continues to find favor with a new generation of admirers. As an artist, that has to be gratifying. I wish him well, and am glad to see his talent recognized and praised. But Searching for Sugar Man left me thinking about much bigger things—much more important things—than the life and reputation of a songwriter. I'm not sure that's exactly what the filmmakers had intended, but I'm glad that Rodriguez's story stimulated such thoughts as I watched the film, and, even more so as I reflected on it.

Accounting today cannot be imagined without accounting software. Accounting software is a term used for computer software that is able to document and process financial records like trial balances, payroll, invoice management etc. Many small businesses develop their own accounting system solutions but those who are more serious and want better accuracy decide to use some of the professional accounting software solutions. Nowadays there are literally hundreds of accounting programs for small businesses. But it's worth knowing that not all of them are good and suitable for each company's needs. Small business owners should understand that there is no universal software that can answer to all their requirements. However, there are some indicators that can help you find the best accounting software for small business at least for your case.
First of all, you need to determine whether the software you are planning to use will cut down your expenses in this field. In the past, when accounting software was in the phase of development, it was really expensive to use one. Today, as the competition rises the prices are dropping. But still there is a difference in the price so make sure you make the calculations and figure out whether it is worth buying certain software.
Another thing that you should take into consideration is the complexity of the accounting software. What's the point of buying expensive accounting software with shiny features and buttons when you have trouble to use it. The promotional videos usually don't give us precise picture about the way the software works and it is probably the best idea to take a free trial if it is offered (FreshBooks for example is offering 30 day trial mode without any obligations). If you can't find how to operate the software and spend days learning how to perform simple tasks than it is better to choose another one. While we are talking about the complexity, it is also a good idea to check the technical support that the seller is offering. Look for 24/7 technical support. The software should also have a detailed tutorial and help files so you won't have to contact the support for every little obstacle you face.
Before you purchase some of the packages make sure you know what exactly you need. Accounting is a broad term that covers many areas and each company has areas where it needs more help. A quality accounting software will have certain modules like accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, invoice creation and editing etc. What makes some software solution better than the others is the process of working with these modules. The access and response of all the features should be quick and there shouldn't be any crashes during the process.
Ultimately, you can always ask your partners or friends about the accounting software they use for their business. If they are satisfied and have a small business too, then their software will probably suit your needs too.

Why is an oil-based soap better than the ordinary soap ?
Whenever skin care is discussed, experts never fail to talk of essential oils. Their presence is a per-requisite for skin-care. A good soap is the one that makes skin softer and nourish it with the necessary oils. But somehow, the ordinary soaps fail to do so. Instead, the chemicals in them make the skin harsh and lifeless by robbing off the oils. However, if a natural soap consists of ingredients like Honey, Aloe Vera extract as well as Pure Almond Oil, the soap is superior in innumerable ways. This trio is indeed reliable because it not only would make the skin softer, healthier, but also prevent dry patches and fade away the skin eruptions like Acne and rashes.
How does Almond Oil nourish the Skin ?
Sweet almonds' dry kernel yields almond oil. A light-weighted oil, Almond Oil is: Natural Moisturizer: The best thing about this oil is that it suits all skin types. Pure Almond Oil Moisturizes the skin by relieving irritation and itchiness. It is a great lubricant that not only soothes the skin but also penetrates in the skin's layers making up for any kind of essential oil loss. Excellent Emollient: Almond Oil has essential nutrients in it which softens and soothes the skin. Also,it compensates for the skin's water loss by replacing it with moisture and nutrients. The oil not only protects the skin surface but makes it way smoother from within. The skin glows with life. Improves Skin Complexion: Almond Oil is rich in Vitamin E. It not only improves the skin complexion but the skin looks all the more young, healthier. Fine lines disappear and the skin-aging process slows down.
Why is blend of Honey & Aloe-Vera good for skin ?
An amalgamation of natural ingredients such as Honey & Aloe-Vera in a product is no less than a secret treasure for damaged skin. Both of these put together form the best combination for a crystal-clear skin from outside which is as healthy from the inside. How honey helps in bringing out a radiant skin? By the process of regurgitation, bees make honey out of nectar. This honey then collected and used for a variety of purposes. Honey works wonders for the skin as the following: Treats Acne and Pimples: Honey is an ideal cleansing agent as it absorbs the trapped impurities within the skin surface and pores making it bacteria free. Honey, thus, is helpful in treating of Acne, break-outs and skin irritation. Also, Honey helps in lightening blemishes and scars. Rejuvenates and Refreshes the depleted skin: The damage on skin due to UV rays is one of the major cause that skin may become dull, dry and tanned. The skin starts to age before time. Honey is an essential ingredient which rejuvenates such a skin, repairs the sun damaged skin, making it soft & supple. It reduces wrinkles remarkably.
How does Aloe Vera make the skin flawless and healthy ?
Aloe Vera Gel is extracted from the medicinal Aloe Vera plant's leaves by process of squeezing. This is extremely useful in a number of ways. For the Skin, Aloe Vera is no less than a medical factory having cure for almost every skin problem possible. Aloe Vera has the following benefits: High Level of Healing Agents: Aloe Vera cures chapped and dry skin by providing it essential moisture and cooling it from within while healing it. Aloe Vera removes the dead skin cells which get accumulated on the skin, thereby making the skin dull and prone to Acne and irritation. Best Natural Skin Moisturizer: It's moisturizing property is commendable because after curing the pimple and acne prone skin, it also moisturizes it, making it soft and look healthy. Aloe Vera helps in maintaining the oil balance of the skin."

A Manshead Upper School, Dunstable, trip to Disneyland Paris ended in misery for a number of students after their hotel rooms were ransacked by thieves.
Year 10 pupils and school staff returned to their hotel on Wednesday to discover that a number of rooms had been broken into, with a quantity of possessions stolen.
Police were called to the hotel, on the outskirts of Paris near the Disneyland resort, and took details of what was stolen from students.
Burglars also struck another school party staying at the hotel at the same time.
The 66 Manshead students on the trip returned home the following evening and parents were given a letter to inform them of what had happened.
Headteacher Jim Parker told the Gazette that the incident did not impact on the travel arrangements of students returning home.
He said: "Overall we had a very successful trip, but it was spoilt for some students due to the break-ins at the hotel.
"Some property belonging to students has been taken from rooms."

text: After a long day of riding powder at Whistler and Blackcomb, attendees of Snowtopia, the 10th Annual TransWorld Industry Conference were treated to an captivating panel discussion on key issues facing the specialty snowboard retailer. Panelists included The Alt's Jay Erikson, Snowboard Connection's John Logic, ZJ Boarding House's Todd Roberts, and World Board's Jay Moore. The seminar, which ran past its allotted one hour time slot, covered issues such as POP, reps, which manufacturers marketing strategies help sales, and the importance of terms when choosing brands. However, the topic that illicited the most discussion was how manufacturer-direct sales on the Internet could affect the retailer/manufacturer relationship. "If you take the specialty store out of the loop, you're going to kill yourself," said Moore to the audience of mostly snowboard industry executives. Roberts commented that although significant technical challenges have to be overcome to make selling products like boots and outerwear on-line fool-proof, it's just a question of when, not if. "I really hope the leaders of the snowboard world don't sit on the sidelines while the little guys jump into web selling," said Moore. "Now is the time for someone to step up and show some leadership." Look for a more indepth report on this seminar and the entire TransWorld Media Snowboard Industry Conference in the upcoming issue of SNOWboarding Business magazine. Also look for more coverage of the conference online in the next couple of days.

What with the staggering success of AS THE WORLD TURNS' 50th anniversary tie-in mystery novel, OAKDALE CONFIDENTIAL, it's no surprise that Proctor & Gamble, the soap's parent company, would want to repeat the same deal with its other flagship TV show, GUIDING LIGHT. But not in the way you think. As the NYT's George Gene Gustines reports, GL has jumped aboard the comics bandwagon by giving longrunning (and long, long-suffering) heroine Harley Davidson Cooper (played by Beth Ehlers, left) superpowers—and the results run both on TV (starting tomorrow morning, though a sneak preview is online) and in book form, with an eight-page comic by Alex Chung & Jim McCann, "A New Light," that debuted last week as a backup feature in select Marvel comics. (Reactions from comics fans have been decidedly mixed, with Ron lending his own two cents to the debate at Newsarama.)
Ellen Wheeler, the executive producer of "Guiding Light," said the idea for a collaboration came from another Marvel comic book milestone: the July wedding of the Black Panther and Storm, an X-Men character, whose dress was conceived by Shawn Dudley, the costume designer for "Guiding Light." After that, it was simple: "Let's call them to see if there's anything to talk about," Wheeler said.
Indeed there was, though creating the script for "A New Light" was a balancing act, according to McCann. He said he had to give readers enough information about GL's characters and also fill them in on Marvel superheroes and villains. "I tried to make it as universal and as accessible as possible for both sides," McCann said. "I threw in a couple of little things for GUIDING LIGHT fans, so they would know I really did my homework on their show."

They said a Facebook phone would never happen, but this is close enough! The company released Facebook Home today, an Android "skin" that puts Facebook at the forefront of your smartphone's operating system.
Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook Home today in Menlo Park, Calif. It will launch on April 12 and brings your Facebook notifications, messages, Instagram uploads, and more to the home screen of your phone.
It also created Chat Heads, a notifications system that adds a small photo of your friend to your screen when they message you. You can view, respond, and throw away any messages you receive without leaving the app you're in.
Alongside the Facebook Home skin, Android phone maker HTC introduced the HTC First, a dedicated phone that comes pre-loaded with Facebook Home. Sounds a lot like a Facebook phone to me. It will run on AT&T exclusively and is only $99.99.
You'll be able to download Facebook Home right in the Google Play store and have the option to try it out or make the switch completely.

Jaguars offensive tackle Cameron Bradfield has already done the unthinkable during his career.
As an undrafted free agent in 2011, Bradfield outlasted the franchise's first two draft picks that year.
The Jaguars traded up for the 10th overall pick to select quarterback Blaine Gabbert. Their next pick was in the third round and former general manager Gene Smith took guard Will Rackley.
Gabbert and Rackley are now former Jaguars. Meanwhile, the 26-year-old Bradfield is getting ready to start at right tackle for the team when it opens the regular season at Philadelphia on Sept. 7.
Gabbert and Rackley aren't the only players Bradfield has seen come and go. Only three players on the current 90-man roster (kicker Josh Scobee, tight end Marcedes Lewis and defensive end Tyson Alualu) have been with the Jaguars since prior to the 2011 season.
Bradfield will make his first start for injured Austin Pasztor on Friday when the Jaguars travel to face Detroit in the third preseason game. With Pasztor expected to miss at least the first two regular-season games with a broken hand, Bradfield is again being called on to contribute for the offense.
He's no stranger to this situation.
The 6-foot-4, 308-pound Bradfield has started 25 games in his first three seasons. In most cases, he started due to injury.
Last season, Bradfield started the final 11 games at left tackle after Luke Joeckel broke his ankle against St. Louis.
"I feel very confident and comfortable with Cam," Jaguars offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch said. "He played 11 games for us last year. … He came in in a tough situation."
Bradfield entered the 2012 season as the starter at right tackle and logged 11 starts.
As a rookie, Bradfield started two games. His first one was memorable. With Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton injured, Bradfield stepped in at Pittsburgh as the offense gained 133 yards on the ground.
"Cam has been one of those guys that's been pretty opportunistic," Lewis said. "He's been ready when his number has been called. You never know when it's going to be your time and he's always stepped up to the plate. He's always been accountable."
Bradfield's value is in his versatility. It's rare to find fourth-year reserve tackles with at least 12 starts at each spot.
"I'm excited for the opportunity for Cam to show what he can do," Jaguars interim offensive line coach Luke Butkus said. "He works his butt off every day so it's an exciting time for him. Cam has played a lot of football in this league."
Bradfield is also rare in another aspect. The former Grand Valley State standout doesn't have a favorite between the left and right side of the line.
"I've played both sides just as much in my time in the league," Bradfield said. "It was like that in college too. So I don't have a preference for either side."
Bradfield has already faced adversity in this training camp. He missed practice on Aug. 6 for what the team described as a personal reason.
Bradfield offers that the personal reason involved one of his best friends from college in a life-or-death situation, but does not want to elaborate beyond that.
"It was serious enough for me to miss practice in training camp," Bradfield said. "It was something I felt like I had to do."
The situation made it difficult for Bradfield to focus on football and it affected his work. Fortunately, his friend is doing better.
"It's tough," Bradfield said. "You try to leave the outside stuff out of your mind, but it's tough to do. You try to put it to the back of your mind, but even doing that makes you think about it. Thankfully, the situation is over with and that's a huge relief."
Jaguars coach Gus Bradley felt like Bradfield wasn't himself early in camp.
"He had a situation with a really close friend that was unfortunate and he was just battling through that a little bit," Bradley said. "I'm not saying that's the reason why [he started slow] but I think he dealt with that. We talked about it and I think he's at peace with it."
Bradley is encouraged that Bradfield has picked up his performance over the past 10 days and praised him for his play against Chicago on Aug. 14.
Bradfield will have to be reliable when the Jaguars start the season. The first two games are at Philadelphia and at Washington. Both teams have explosive (Eagles) to solid (Washington) offenses and the Jaguars will likely need to be sharp offensively to earn a win.
"He's done a good job," Bradley said. "I thought he did a really nice job filling in last year. He started off a little bit slower in training camp and now has picked up steam. So he's been doing real well the last week and a half."
Bradfield does have a luxury he didn't have last season. He'll have three weeks and two preseason games to get comfortable with the first-team line prior to the Eagles game.
"It's definitely a better situation," Bradfield said. "In any opportunity, you have to step up no matter whether you have two weeks, two days, two hours or two minutes."
