The neew bungie site is awsome yes it is especcially the live aware dohiker thingy ............ but the bar on the top and the bottom kinda bother me ..... i have a 21"screen and still it anoys me a little bit does it bother any of you???? i think you should be able to get rid of it or something
English#Septagon #Community
it's on 1024, the biggest possible on my screen. and those navbars are still eating up 1/4 of my screen
You know, on smaller monitors, the thing is smaller too. Only by increasing your screen resolution can you make it smaller.
i stiil have a nice 15 inch monitor( i need a new one!). So in the beginning those navbars bothered me alot. But now i got used to it it isn't much of a problem anymore.
Initially I thought It would get annoying, but so far I havent had any problems, and this is comming from someone with a 17inch monitor. After a while I just dont notice them, and occasionally I find myself playing with the pretty colours and scroll over effects.
yeah it kinda does get on my nerves but o well...... i like it better than the old site
You know u can minimize the bottom one

Good Stereo
2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Installed this into my wife's 2004 Chevy Malibu Maxx after the factory stereo gave out. Overall, it's a great stereo with HD tuner, Aux input, and iPhone support. It skips the bluetooth which is fine by my wife, and provides a usb port so she can charge her iPhone 5S while listening to Audible Books or Pandora on the stereo. Setup is by no means simple, but once I got it up and running to her liking, my wife has liked using it. The biggest drawback to this stereo is that you really have to dig deep in the menus to change EQ settings, and I haven't found any shortcuts so far. Otherwise, it sounds great and the FM tuner is simple to use.
Pros: Supports iPhone audio and charging through usb port, HD tuner, plays CDs, Aux port, custom colors
Cons: Buttons on the face are tiny, menus are really hard to go through while you're driving, no quick way to change EQ

Consumer Watchdog Accuses Hyundai of Fudging Elantra 40 MPG Claims

Organization claims a high number of drivers are unable to come close to mileage estimates
Most drivers know that when they buy a vehicle the estimates for fuel economy on the window stickers are just estimates. In the real world, driving the fuel economy can be much different. There has been more than the typical number of complaints about the fuel economy that Hyundai is claiming for its new Elantra.
Hyundai is
that the Elantra gets 29 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway for an combined rated of 33 mpg. The problem is that according to the higher than usual number of complaints about the efficiency of the Elantra, the real world mileage is in the mid-20 mpg range. Drivers that purchased the vehicle based in large part on the efficiency claims are understandably upset by the real world figures.
Consumer Watchdog
is asking the EPA to investigate the mileage claims for the Elantra. The letter sent to the EPA read in part:
A notable exception to this rule has caught the attention of Consumer Watchdog. For the two most recent model years, Hyundai Motors has actively marketed its base models of the Elantra on their very high 29/40 MPG, and 33 MPG average, leaving a trail of disappointed drivers. An Edmunds online Town Hall discussion on the Elantra attracted scores of drivers who can't, no matter how hard they try, duplicate such numbers. One very public example of this was USA Today tech writer Jefferson Graham, whose Sept. 22 article on his new Elantra expressed his disappointment that he averaged only 22 MPG, a gap that no "break-in" period seems likely to fill.
Consumer Watchdog
also pointed out that while automotive publication
Motor Trend
named the 2012 Elantra a Car of the Year contender, the fuel economy it achieved in testing was only 26.5 mpg. That number was poor enough compared to estimates for
Motor Trend
to mention it in the review. The consumer organization is asking the EPA to retest the Elantra and if it finds the estimates Hyundai is giving aren't accurate to impose a fine on the automaker to compensate drivers.
One of the big selling pints of the Elantra was that the 40 mpg highway claim was for the normal model of the car whereas other automakers needed special trims to hit 40 mpg. Hyundai also has the
with the same 40 mpg claim. Chevy has touted a version of its Cruze, the Eco, which gets 40 mpg on the highway. Ford has a special version of the Focus with a claimed 40 mpg highway rating that is called the
In October of this year, Hyundai announced that it planned to offer a plug-in hybrid to go against the Prius called the

Flying high on her Gabbar Singh release actress Shruti Haasan is making new beginnings. The actress who made her Kollywood debut in Surya starrer 7aam Arivu , followed it with the Kolaveri phenom '3' in Tamil and Gabbar Singh in Telugu. While her '3' is yet to release in Hindi, Shruti thought setting things up early on would do no harm.
She has been on a hunt for her new house in Mumbai and finally has a posh flat in the Queen of suburbs – Bandra. The Bandra Bandstand Street is home to many Bollywood celebs including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and others. Shruti who spent her college days in Mumbai's St Andrews College feels it's more of a homecoming rather than getting adjusted to new surroundings. "My mom and sister live here and I have always had a connection with Mumbai. It's just like a second home to me", says the gorgeous lass. There are many new offers pouring in from Bollywood for the actress including one for an animation movie named Arjun. Getting her new 2BHK close to mom Sarika and sister Akshara's residence, she quips, "I am excited to get the interiors done up and I have got some plans too". There is also news that the multi-talented actress will engage herself in a music album of her own, collaborating with independent artists soon. With the release of 3 in Hindi, things could only get better for Shruti.

Able Energy is a top notch solar installer. This is the second solar install I have had done and Able energy was top notch the entire way. The team came out and installed the entire unit within 2 days. That was so impressive and rare in this industry. Able Energy sets up an online communication network that kept me informed the entire time. During the install I was in constant communication with the team and they updated me each step of the way. They posted pictures, documents and information online for me to view. Able energy handled all of the communication with the utility company as well and made it so I didn't have to do anything. The online monitoring was instantly set up as well. I am so pleased with this company that I cannot recommend them enough! The entire crew was wonderful to work with!

Here is a story that may mean more to bloggers out there than it does to your normal every day sports fans, but it deserves mention. A Michigan Wolverines blog called The M Zone found themselves embroiled in a bit of a controversy with ESPN Radio Sports Talk Host Colin Cowherd recently. It seems that Cowherd used fake questions from the famous Wonderlic test to have a little fun on his morning sports talk show. The problem with this? It looks like the questions were lifted word-for-word from a bit that was posted on The M Zone. This summarizes the issue right here.
When first confronted with the fact that the bit they were taking credit for belonged to someone else, the response from Cowherd was less than professional to say the least. In the end, thanks in part to the many readers of the M Zone, Cowherd did apologize and even gave a shout out to the blog on his radio show. Nice to see that it all got resolved, but it should've never gotten to this point. The ESPN Radio show should've given credit immediately if they wanted to use the material. If, in fact, the material was mysteriously emailed to them and they didn't know who to credit then they should've probably done a quick Google search to discover who came up with it, mentioned that it wasn't theirs and they didn't know who to credit, or not used it. Pretty simple really.
On a side note… The M Zone is a pretty entertaining read, especially if you're a Michigan Wolverines fan.

Because I at least try to eat healthily I often find very few options on campus where I can use my meal plan money, money I need to use or else it gets wasted and that I can't get back anyway.
Last semester, because of my mind set of trying to spend as little money as possible, I ended up with lots of money left over, meaning I now have to spend that money this semester.
Part of my eating healthy is eating a good breakfast in the morning. I like to have two eggs on toast with a little cheese, ketchup and hot sauce if I have it. But this means that I need to buy that food with my own money. This is often problematic because a dozen eggs and a loaf of bread does not last very long. Breakfast becomes an expensive recurring cost.
To my pleasant surprise though I have found that the little convenience store on campus, which accepts meal plan, stocks bread saving that cost at least.
As well, since I have so much money left to spend, I no longer buy my milk at Zellers like I used to, I now just buy single serving milk cartons at the Dining Hall, saving even more of that cost.
Next year I am going to be living in a fairly expensive apartment ($570 + utilities), so saving money on food is going to be even more important. I am hoping that I can mooch as much food as I can when I go home, but I will still end up spending money on food. Spending money on food is not in the least bit fun. Luckily, at least for the next three months, I have found a way to minimize the cost.

Cyber Gaming Network has posted the following reviews:
- Gretzky NHL (PSP - 2.75/5)
"With a framerate that's choppier than a Jacky Chan flick and computer controlled players that literally ruin the game, it would behoove even the biggest Gretzky fan to back off."
- Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee (PSP - 4.0/5)
"Open Tee is a great portable game due to its easiness to get in and out of games. The graphics and animation are lovely and the controls are dead-on. What's great about Open Tee is that it takes itself seriously as a golf game with realistic physics and courses, but not too seriously by adding colorful bigheaded characters with zany animations."

They are the worst online store ever! I ordered a t-shirt and for a month and a half i got no confirmation of the item being sent or payment being received so I emailed them and got no reply at all.
I finally for a reply when I opened a paypal payment dispute and they said they were waiting for the manufacturer to confirm they actually had the shirt (shouldn't they have the shirt themselves before they sell it?) which after another month of waiting the manufacturer didn't ever have! I just told them to give me a refund which I am still waiting for.. I doubt I'll see that money again.
I've shopped online for 4 years from many different companies and sellers and never accounted a company as bad as Phix Clothing.

Atlanta Falcons: Can Jamaal Anderson step up on defense?
Last year, the Falcons secretly had the league's second-best run defense, according to DVOA. At minus-16.1 percent (remember, since defense is about not allowing a team yards or points, a negative DVOA is actually better), they were better at stopping the run than vaunted defenses like the Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets, and Pittsburgh Steelers.
When the opposition threw? That was another story. Atlanta's 24.0 percent pass defense DVOA was 27th in the league; no one ranked lower than 22nd (Minnesota Vikings) made the playoffs, and the Vikings were the only team in football with a better run defense than Atlanta.
Good pass defense requires an effective pass rush and good coverage, and the Falcons had neither in 2009. The Falcons hoped that a ferocious pass rush would compensate for a mediocre secondary, but Atlanta's sack rate of 5.6 percent was 26th in the league, with star end John Abraham going from 16.5 sacks in 2008 to only 5.5 in 2009. The team leader in sacks was actually defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux, who had six. There's hope in situational pass-rusher Kroy Biermann, who had five sacks in his sophomore campaign, but the problem here is the guy starting across from Abraham and ahead of Biermann.

Googled *New Media Studies* yesterday and ran across the "Media Effects Research Laboratory at Penn State, where they're doing lots of interesting empirical or semi-empirical research on how people are behaving in their interaction with computers and the Internet. Lots of interesting research questions, such as whether hyperlinks and and site maps make a site more or less memorable, whether the interactivity of a politician's website will build voter affinity with him or her, a study showing that users of a compuer lab tend to visit the same terminal each visit, and thus "anthropomorphize" the machine, and so on. Most of these studies have small sample sizes, so they probably wouldn't hold up to AC Nielsen standards, but they're a worthwhile diversion. This kind of research is interesting to think about in the context of electronic literature, particularly in relation to the ideas of "embodiment" — reading/viewing/interacting with e-lit and digital art is a physical interaction between a human and a machine. This is the kind of thing that writers for the electronic media (or critics) should maybe think about (though probably not get preoccupied with) — for instance, what kind of "skin conductance response" is your typical hypertext fiction reader exhibiting?
It's just funny to think about the kind of writing workshop sessions this type of research could generate. Not that I think we should be outfitting English 101 students with skin temperature monitors. . . .

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) have were employed to demonstrate high frequency (750MHz) single-photon sources (SPS). By remotely pumping electrons and holes into a GaAs quantum well, we were able to transport and inject them into quantum dots which work as efficient SPS. Our achievements represent a novel approach in the direction of high speed quantum …

Beyond understanding the required math, scoring well on the ACT has to do conquering those careless errors, because there is no partial credit on the ACT, - and being able to read and understand word problems.

Even for those who have not yet had alg 2/trig, the ACT is very predictable, so we can prepare a student for the types of questions the ACT asks in those areas.

- Prep Time:5 minutes
- Cook Time:1 hour 15 minutes
- Serves:6
A delectable Passover dessert: Poached Pears made with honey, cinnamon and citrus, combined to give the pears a sweet, fabulous flavor. Poached pears make a lovely dessert for Passover celebrations. They can also be made a day in advance and then brought to room temperature before serving.&
Foodie Byte
For a rich red color, add 3/4 pounds peeled and sliced beets to poaching liquid. Remove and discard beets when you remove pot from the heat. Sliced beets give the pears a vibrant scarlet red color and add subtle yet delightful flavor complexity.
6 medium firm, ripe pears
6 cups sweet, red pesach wine
2/3 cup honey
2/3 cup sugar
6 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup orange juice
4 cinnamon sticks
1 tablespoon orange zest, for garnish
Combine wine, honey, lemon juice, orange juice and cinnamon sticks in a sauce pot and bring to a simmer.
While the poaching liquid heats, peel the pears in straight, continuous strokes from the stem end to the base using a Y-shaped peeler. Cut a small slice from the bottom of each pear so that they can stand upright.
Add pears to liquid, cover the pot, and simmer, turning occasionally, until the pears start to become tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Remove pot from heat and allow pears to cool in the poaching liquid, approximately 1 hour. Serve immediately, or for darker coloration, transfer to refrigeration for up to 24 hours, turning the pears occasionally.
To serve, pool poaching liquid as desired in center of dessert plate or shallow bowl. Stand pear in the center of the plate. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon orange zest.

Reference Range
Glucagon is a peptide compromised of 29 amino acids in a single chain. It is produced by the alpha-cells in the exocrine pancreas and secreted by the liver and the kidneys, with a half-life of 3-6 minutes. Because of this rapid inactivation, collection of serum glucagon needs to occur in a chilled collecting tube with the immediate addition of a proteolytic enzyme inhibitor.
The reference ranges for glucagon can be found in the table below. [1]
Table 1. Glucagon Reference Ranges
Table. (Open Table in a new window)
|Ages, conditions, etc.
|Conventional Units
|Conversion Factor
|SI Units
|< 60 pg/mL
|< 17.2 pmol/L
|Centrifuge immediately under refrigeration. Store in plastic vial with 0.5 ml aprotinin (10,000KIU/mL) at -20°C. An overnight fast is required.
|Cord blood
|< 215 pg/mL
|< 62 pmol/L
|Day 1
|< 240 pg/mL
|< 69 pmol/L
|Day 2
|< 400 pg/mL
|< 115 pmol/L
|Day 3
|< 420 pg/mL
|< 121 pmol/L
|Day 4-14
|< 148pg/mL
|< 42 pmol/L
See the list below:
For basic reference the interval in adults/children is 40-130 ng/L. [2]
Blood glucose levels are measured in mg/dL.
Hypoglycemia is considered when glucose value is less than 70mg/dL.
The normal glucose range is 80-100 mg/dL.
Prediabetes is 100-126 mg/dL.
Diabetes after a fasting study is greater than 126mg/dL.
Diabetes are a nonfasting study is greater than 200mg/dL.
Glucagon works along with insulin to balance glucose distribution in the serum for transport to body tissues. The serum level of glucose is the driving force on which these 2 hormones are either being activated or inhibited. Insulin stimulates glucose and amino acid uptake from the blood to tissues for functional use. This is why during a meal glucose levels will initially rise due to the intake, but, in normal healthy subjects, insulin's job is to bring the levels back down to normal limits. For diabetics, we see the result of the lack of this hormone especially after a meal in which glucose values will elevate extremely high unless any endogenous insulin can inhibit glucagon's effect for producing more glucose through the process of glycogenolysis. [3]
Normal levels of fasting glucose (80-100 mg/dL) mean that a balance exists and that both insulin and glucagon are adequately produced. Abnormalities in glucose levels are the most common reason to measure glucagon levels in serum to see if the hormone is the source versus insulin levels, which tend to be more difficult to interpret.
A condition associated with elevated glucagon, a glucagonoma, usually has levels a 1000-fold greater than normal. These tumors are pancreatic in origin and have symptoms including necrolytic migratory erythema, hyperglycemia, and reduced amino acids. Another condition that includes glucagonoma includes multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. The 3 tumors of this syndrome include the parathyroid glands, the pancreas, and the anterior pituitary gland. [5]
Similarly, low levels of glucagon are seen when patient is having hypoglycemia (blood glucose less than 70mg/dL). Patient will experience autonomic dysfunction (shaking, palpitations, sweating, nervousness) and central nervous system dysfunction (confusion, unresponsiveness, seizures). Persistent hypoglycemia can be associated with an insulinoma, overmedication of insulin or oral hypoglycemia drugs, or prolonged fasting.
Collection and Panels
See the list below:
Collect in lavender (EDTA) or pink (K2EDTA) plus aprotinin tube. Collect in chilled container. [2]
Condition: Fasting [2]
Storage/transport temperature: Critical frozen. Separate specimens must be submitted when multiple tests are ordered. [2]
Unacceptable conditions: Specimens transported in glass tubes. [2]
Stability (collection to initiation of testing; after separation from cells) is as follows:
Ambient - Unacceptable
Refrigerated - Unacceptable
Frozen - 3 months [2]
Glucagon is a peptide compromised of 29 amino acids in a single chain. It is produced by the alpha-cells in the exocrine pancreas and secreted by the liver and the kidneys, with a half-life of 3-6 minutes. Because of this rapid inactivation, collection of serum glucagon needs to occur in a chilled collecting tube with the immediate addition of a proteolytic enzyme inhibitor. Glucagon is an initial precursor in the metabolism of glucose increasing cAMP, gluconeogenesis, and ketogenesis. Glucagon works against the anabolic effects of insulin to catabolize glycogen. The result of this is variable on the tissue glucagon works in as can be seen in Table 2. For example, in cardiac tissue, glucagon is a potent inotropic and chronotropic effect mediated by cAMP; in the small intestine, glucagon has been known to relax the smooth muscle in large amounts. [6]
The most important clinical use of glucagon is a drug in its recombinant form that is used for treatment of severe hypoglycemic reactions in diabetes. A glucagon pen or GlucaPen contains 1 mg of the recombinant hormone that should be injected intramuscularly when oral feedings are not possible or patients are completely unresponsive. Glucagon is also sometimes useful for reversing the cardiac effects of a beta-blocker overdose. [6]

During the week of February 10th, 2011, I was on vacation. Normally, vacation means vacation although I will monitor the markets. I try not to do any writing on the blog, and the subscribers to the Premium Content service know this. However, during that week the Rydex market timers became the most bullish they had ever been - not only since this rally started but since the data began in 2000. Interrupting my vacation, I sent a "special report" to the subscribers of our Premium Content service, and I present those comments below.
Comments from the Rydex Report, February 9th, 2011, part 2
While we can say "good call", I would prefer to make several observations.
One, tops take time. These extremes were 20 trading days ago. This is not a long time by any stretch, but in this instant gratification world we live in, we want it now. However, market tops don't work that way. Two, the markets really aren't too much off their multi year highs, so why worry? The SP500 is still sitting above its 50 day moving average. Yes, equities have been facing headwinds for a while, and pullbacks at this juncture should be welcomed. The markets are just getting repriced. Third, let me clarify what kind of market top we are talking about. At this point in time, this is not a top that will lead to a bear market. Prices should continue lower and sentiment should turn negative. Stocks will be bought and a bounce will ensue. It will be the quality of that bounce that is important. As there is always hope, failure of that bounce will lead to a bear market.
Lastly, let me remind you of our Premium Content service. This is the best $104 (yearly) money you can spend on market data and research. Of course, the Premium Content is centered around the Rydex asset data. The Rydex asset data is unique because it is objective data (i.e., assets flows) as opposed to opinion based sentiment data. Furthermore, we have a 11 year data base covering 2 bull and 2 bear markets. Ever day you get 9 charts plus my commentary to keep you on the right side of the markets.

Oggifinogi, a startup that sells tools for building interactive display ads, said today that it has raised $2 million in its first round of funding.
Google (which has been emphasizing its display efforts recently), Gannett-owned PointRoll, and others offer rich media ad builders, but Oggifinogi said it's the only company that integrates interactive ads with "real-time bidding" systems, where each ad impression is priced and purchased separately. Those systems are gaining support as a way to lower costs and give advertisers the opportunity to tweak their campaigns and ads as needed.
Greycroft Partners led the round, while iNovia Capital, Contour Venture Partners, individual investors also participated. In the funding press release, Greycroft partner Ian Sigalow says, "Oggifinogi allows advertisers to embed any functionality inside a standard ad unit –- from video to fully-interactive websites –- and the campaigns can be built in hours instead of weeks."
Bellevue, Wash.-based Oggifinogi says it has created ad campaigns for more than 100 brands. You can see sample ads at the company's website.
Oh, and if you're wondering where the odd name comes from, TechFlash has the answer: "The name derives from two Italian words — Oggi which means 'today' and the slang term Finogi which translates to 'finish what you start.'"

I was inside and the ambient temp is around 60 degrees. Just curious if I should be getting a bigger element? Thanks

So I went out this morning--to buy socks--and came home with a 2.75 round Le Creuset, instead (it was on sale for $55). What can I make in it? (There are 3 of us.) I think Normandie had a great post on this size, but I can't find it. Can I make main dishes in it, or is it only suited for sides?
Many thanks--

This pedal has become my staple for Tubescreamer tones. Wampler has succeeded again in what I believe their forte is - combining excellent overdrive with EQ's that mesh seamlessly with amplifiers.
All Wampler Pedals 9 Models
Although Wampler has marketed this pedal as a fire breathing gain machine, I'm adopting it as a versatile solution for many tones.
This Compressor really brings out all that you always wanted your guitar to give! This is mostly noticeble on a clean sound.
This pedal as good as any I have heard and has a permanent place on my pedal board. No manual needed as it's pretty straight forward!
For blues and rock this Brent Mason signature pedal is incredible. If you want some proper high gain then this isn't for you, but for a classic plexi kind of valve sound then this is definitely worth the investment.
The Plexi-Drive captures the "JTM" era crunch that guitarists lust after. This pedal is great for anything one would use a plexi for - blues, classic rock, country, and other styles.
Bottom line here is, this pedal is HOT HOT hot! It truly delivers that Marshall stack tone. It screams when cranked and cleans up surprisingly well with the guitars volume rolled off. If you love playing with your volume knob to tweak tone, you'll love the results you get from this pedal.
The Sovereign is very easy to use and get great tones out of. It's not your average three knob distortion.
I honestly think my search for the ultimate distortion pedal is over. It's a fun pedal to tweak on because the controls are so responsive, and you can get an awesome sound very minimal effort. It's a little pricey new, with a tag of $269, but it's worth it.

A Cupcake Just for You
I have a card once again to share with you and I was inspired by two things...
One- this layout that inspired the sketch that got the ball rolling..
and Two- this card of mine that I adore and inspired the main image.
I tried replicating that cupcake and I think I did okay! The papers are all scraps but I'm pretty sure the vintage papers are Tim Holtz and the brights are Making Memories/Authentique.
And that arrow. Oh that arrow! Got it on my first try and love it. I've been seeing arrows all over the paper world too.
This card goes into the Anything Goes challenge (and kid's challenge)at Simon Says Stamp.
Hope you all have the best day ever!

Slumber, Dreams and Things
We have had a super busy summer so far, and with the rain and wind the internet satellite was off kilter too...it's been awesome seeing friends and family though and doing some traveling. We went to Northern Saskatchewan to La Ronge (and Niemebien) for a few days. Luke got to fish on the lake with his Great Uncle Jack with Earl and I...it was such a great time. I have hundreds of photos to scrapbook and luckily for me Tiff at Inspired by Dominic Designs has some super new kits and goodies. I did the page on this post with about to be released kit, Storybook Slumber Kit. You gotta check it out it's really cool for all your dreamy pages! Luke is finally asleep, and the rain fall has slowed down enough to let me be online. More soon, with more photos and the story of our La Ronge trip, a visit from Papa Dude and Gramma Jacki (including golf) and a visit from Nana and Rich...

DUBAI — Azizi Developments a leading UAE-based real estate developer with global reach into international markets — announced an unprecedented launch of 50 new developments, which will comprise of residential, commercial and retail space in 2017.

Farhad Azizi, CEO of Azizi Developments, commented, "The rapid development of local infrastructure shows the full commitment of the Dubai government in its delivery of announced plans." The Dubai Water Canal inaugurated on November 9, is a recent example of the government's commitment to plan for Expo 2020. "The government systems are in place to encourage development from a micro perspective. When evaluated at the macro level, we are finding that currencies are in our favour; in addition, the new government changes in the United States and Europe are directing investments towards this region. This launch not only reflects our success but showcases Dubai's booming real estate market," added Farhad. — email@example.com

Riverside County's elections chief applauded Gov. Jerry Brownthis week for setting the stage for a California experiment inOregon-style elections in which everyone votes by mail.
On Monday, Brown signed into law legislation authored byAssemblywoman Mariko Yamada, D-Davis, that authorizes three suchelections between now and 2018 in Yolo County and requires theNorthern California county to deliver a report on the pilotproject's results to the Legislature.
"The data collected on the effects of all-mail-ballot voting may help guide the future of elections in California," Yamada said in a written statement.
Riverside County Registrar of Voters Kari Verjil said the experiment dovetails nicely with her new campaign to persuade more area voters to cast mail or absentee ballots.
"Anything to promote voting by mail ... is exciting," Verjil said in a telephone interview Tuesday.
Last week, the new registrar launched a "Vote first, countfirst" campaign and began promoting it on the office's website, www.voteinfo.net . Thecampaign will remain in effect through the fall 2012 nationalelection, if not longer, she said.
About half of the county's voters cast ballots by mail, up from about a quarter of voters a decade ago.
But Verjil said she would like to see that number go higher.
She said she patterned the local campaign after one in Santa Clara County, where officials boosted the proportion of mail-ballot voters to about 75 percent.
Verjil is promoting mail voting as a strategy to accelerate ballot counting on election nights. Last year, Riverside County was roundly criticized for being the last county in the state to report results from the primary and general elections.
The registrar said she is going to ask county supervisors to buy more machines to count votes and sort ballots. Yet, because of the sheer volume of paper ballots that must be counted, Verjil said the county's best hope for reporting results early is to get more people to vote by mail ---- and drop off or mail in their ballots before Election Day.
"With the current voting system that we have, there really are not a lot of options to pick up the pace on election night," Verjil said.
If more people would vote by mail in advance, election workers would be able to count those ballots before Election Day, she said. And those results would be included in the initial tally the registrar provides on election night after polls close at 8 p.m., she said.
A surge in voting by mail also would mean fewer ballots to count on Election Day, Verjil said.
If everyone voted by mail, county residents could get the final results they covet very early.
"We'd have election results shortly after 8 o'clock," Verjil said. "We'd be done by 8:30 or 9."
With that ideal in mind, Verjil said she is looking forward to the results of the Yolo County experiment. She said she believes all mail-ballot voting would be practical for Riverside County, even though it has a much larger population and is spread out geographically from Temecula to the Colorado River.
"I don't' see any reason why it couldn't work," she said. "It's already working in Oregon and Washington."
But not everyone thinks voting by mail exclusively is a good idea.
"On one hand, it has been shown to increase voter participation," said Paul Jacobs of Temecula, who was critical of the county's move last decade to electronic voting, something the entire state has retreated from.
"On the other hand, it's not a panacea," Jacobs said of the Oregon system. "It kind of takes the choices away from voters, and elections are all about choices."
Jacobs said voters should be able to choose whether to vote by mail or in a voting booth. They should be able to drop off mail ballots on Election Day, rather than being urged to turn them in earlier, he said.
"If there's a last-minute scandal regarding a candidate, that may change a voter's mind. Now, if they have to send in their ballot early, they can't change that vote once it's been popped in the mail," he said.
Jacobs also said he doesn't like the idea of all ballots havingto go through the U.S. Postal Service. He noted that in June 2010,a batch of ballots sat overnight on election night in a MorenoValley post office because of a miscommunication between theregistrar's office and the Postal Service, although a judge laterordered they be counted.
Verjil said she would address that concern by providing more drop-off locations for ballots.
In the November 2000 presidential election, 25 percent of Riverside County voter cast absentee or mail ballots, according to registrar statistics. By the November 2010 gubernatorial election, the proportion had risen to 48 percent.
In some smaller, local elections, mail voting is even more significant. For example, in the Lake Elsinore recall election of February 2010, nearly 75 percent of ballots were cast by mail.

Okay, so hover cars and hover bikes flat-out don't exist and probably never will using our current level of technology. Unless some new form of weird space tech is discovered, we most likely won't see hover vehicles in our life times (no, those segways without handlebars don't count). However, BMW has teamed up with LEGO to create a Hover Bike, based on the BMW R 1200 GS motorcycle

|the historical cast
Amongst the tourist spots in Bohol, this site is the one widely engraved in Philippine history. The Blood Compact Site in Tagbilaran City (roughly 20 minutes away from Tagbilaran Port) is an edifice that was built to memorialize the brotherhood and friendship that transpired between Rajah Sikatuna (Bohol's native chieftain) and Miguel Lopez de Legaspi (Spanish explorer and conquistador).
|my friend Jewel havin fun with the actor of history
This place is a landmark of where the "Sandugo" (One Blood) took place; a blood compact between Sikatuna and Legaspi that happened 16th of March 1565. Based on the Philippine history Legaspi and Sikatuna cut their arms and had their blood mixed in a cup of wine. The wine then was drunk by both leaders to become blood brothers. To commemorate this blood compact which signified Treaty of Friendship between people of different beliefs, races, religion and tradition; this event is being celebrated annually every month of July popularly known as Sandugo Festival.
Since this site is located at the capital of Bohol, there's no excuse not to drop by this historical spot. I suggest you visit this place! J

Relaxation Massage
Relaxation Massage is a smooth, flowing style that promotes general relaxation, improves circulation and range of movement, and relieves muscular tension.
The massage consists of the therapist applying gentle to medium pressure of the hands to the body, gently manipulating the tissue to promote relaxation. It is not a deep tissue massage. It is not designed for working the deeper muscles of the body, but just a gentle kneading and rubbing of the outer layers of the body tissue. It will cover a wide range of areas on the body including the back, legs, arms and neck.
There is the option of adding some aromatherapy treatment to your massage therapy. High quality aromatherapy oils can heighten the holistic experience of the massage and allow for greater relaxation and restoration of ones energy balance. Of course, unscented oil is also an option. The oil produces a more slippery surface for the therapist to work on, so there is no pulling of the skin. During the massage, the patient can remain quiet and simply explore their own personal thoughts in their head, or they can chat with Julie if so desired. The session can be personalized to be exactly how you like it.
Calming music, soft lights and candles are used to create a relaxing and inviting environment. Your massage is customized and designed to soothe, relax and revitalize tired aching muscles and promotes total relaxation for the mind and body.

Bailout Imbroglio: Politics, Power, Pulpits, & Profit
The failure to pass bailout legislation is a symptom of a larger issue'¦one that percolates in the background. Good governance must promote a social structure that insists the nation be neutral while accepting the soul's autonomy. Preserving our American identity hangs in the balance.
We're in uncharted waters with a leaky boat and a storm on the horizon'¦but the GOP wants us to know that Nancy Pelosi is a mean-spirited partisan.
Let me see if I can get this straight. The Republican president of the United States sends the Secretary of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Chairman to Capital Hill with a message of impending economic doom'¦asking the party in power to put aside partisanship and pass necessary legislation.
The party in power (Democrats) holds its nose and puts together a bill premised upon the gravity of the situation, endures John McCain's grandstanding at the eleventh hour, allows him to characterize his involvement as critical to the success of the process, spends hours meeting with those in the GOP who want to amend the bill, comes to an agreement on a bill the GOP leadership can support, and then brings the bill to a vote.
In that vote, over sixty percent of Democrats support legislation that was requested by the head of the opposition party, two thirds of the presidents fellow Republicans jump ship and oppose the bill, and the GOP house leadership wants Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats to shoulder the blame?! Well there you have it'¦nothing illogical about that, right?
Frankly, I've personally reached the point at which I'm opposed to any attempt to glue what remains of our failed government back together. Unless and until politicians are held accountable for the consequences of their actions, I'm in favor of pulling the rest of the metaphorical china from the cupboard and smashing it all on the floor. I say as much because I don't think anything will change until the American public is forced to face reality'¦even if that means standing in line for a loaf of bread and a bowl of soup.
Look, let's be honest as to what all of this GOP partisanship is about. From their self-serving perspective, it's power and money'¦and they're willing to do whatever it takes to obtain both. Voters, on the other hand, have allowed themselves to be drawn into an ideological struggle to define morality. Taken together, this is the underlying formula for the disaster we're witnessing.
Instead of a candid discussion on the merits of rescuing our financial structure, the political combatants have spent years defining our differences in terms of good versus evil; right versus wrong. While voters blindly engage in this theoretical tug of war, the real battle for dominance is waged in the trenches'¦replete with lobbyists looking to commit larceny in tandem with their trusted troopers'¦the political elite.
The unseen metrics of today's maelstrom center upon the pursuit of profit. Those house Republicans who opposed today's legislation tell us they are concerned about main street. In truth they, in concert with their corporate benefactors who want the government to insure their success without foregoing the profits that may eventually result from the government's intervention, see main street as a peripheral player.
Let me explain. If the bail out takes the current form, the companies that avail themselves of it will have to forego the upside of the very assets that have made them a ton of money during the housing bubble and now leads them to the edge of financial ruin. Conversely, if the legislation is structured as an insurance mechanism, they receive the financial assist they need without foregoing the future profits that may ensue with the passage of time and an improved economy.
In other words, house Republicans are carrying the water of Wall Street while telling us they're looking out for the interests of taxpayers. You see, one need only look at the proposal that came from the Bush administration'¦a virtual blank check to assi

Programming in any language should be done in accordance with the standards and best practices should be followed in order to ensure that developed code is maintainable, re-usable, extendable and presentable.
In this post, I am going to talk about JAVA Programming Best Practices. However, many of the things discussed here will be true in general for other programming lanauges as well.
Follow proper Naming Conventions
Coding Conventions are the guidelines and recommendations which should be followed to write consistent and standardized code. Conventions are not hard and fast rules and you can write dirty yet Working code without following the conventions. However, If you follow the conventions; your code will be neat and consistent throughout and easy to understand.
Some of the conventions that JAVA programmers should follow are given below:
- For methods returning Boolean; has, can etc. should be used. E.g. hasText(), canProcess()
- For Boolean variables, Is prefix should be used. E.g. IsValid, isTested
- For Private variables in the classes, Underscore (_) suffix should be used with the names. E.g. age_, status_
- Java method names should always be Verbs and should have mixed cases starting with small case. E.g. getAge, printData, validateForm
- When defining constants (Final variables), use upper case only. E.g. MAX_RECORDS, AVG_SALARY
- Variable names should be in mixed case and should start with small case. E.g. studentAge, partnerFile
- Names of Packages should be in small letters. E.g. tutorialpackage,mypackage,com.tutorialpedia.tutorial
Comment the code as and when needed
Code written without any useful comments is always difficult to extend and reuse. With proper commenting, code becomes more understandable for other programmers and hence future enhancements and bug fixes take less time. Comments should be excessively added to the code with proper wordings and correct grammar.
Write well organized, reusable code
In order to fulfill certain requirements; you can write the whole code logic in one class jumbled up or you can write the same logic properly distributed in various packages, classes and their methods. When writing code for a JAVA application; think in terms of re-usable components so that you don't need to re-invent the wheel every time. For example; If you are writing code for Logging into a file or a database; create a separate method for this so that same method can be called every time logging is required.
For data, avoid hard coding as much as possible. Use of configuration files should be prioritized so that configuration changes can be made later without re-coding and re-deployment the application.
When writing JAVA code, utilize the open source API's as much as you can instead of writing everything from the scratch.
Don't keep loopholes–Handle Exceptions Properly
Exceptions are a known phenomenon and every programmer must be critical about it. In order to ensure that your application doesn't crash abruptly; handle all possible exception scenarios efficiently in your JAVA code.
Avoid Unnecessary Imports
When writing import statements in your JAVA class; you should know what you are doing and what you need to do. Don't bluntly import whole packages if you need only a handful of classes. For example, If you need to use BufferedInputStream, simply use import java.io.BufferedInputStream instead of import java.io.*

Find out in action-packed volume 63 of "Bleach"!
What is "Bleach?"
For those who are not so familiar with "Bleach", "Bleach" has a strong fan following and since its run began back in 2001, series creator, writer and illustrator Noriaki "Tite" Kubo has been hard at work, continuing to crank chapter after chapter for Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan and with the success of the series extending out to films, OVA's, feature films and video games and other merchandise.
Because of its airing on the Cartoon Network and it being featured on Shonen Jump magazine, "Bleach" has gone on to become a fan favorite in America but also fans all over the world.
A Brief History of what "Bleach" is about
"Bleach" is a story about a guy named Ichigo Kurasaki who has a gift in which he can see spirits. One day, he saw a Soul Reaper (one who can govern the flow of souls between the human world and the afterlife) named Rukia Kukichiki who has come to find a Hollow (a lost soul). She ends up being wounded in battle when she tried to defend Ichigo and so she illegally transfers her reiatsu (spiritual pressure) to him, so that he can defeat the Hollow. But during the process, he nearly takes all of her energy and becomes a Soul Reaper himself and defeats the Hollow quite easily. So, the first storyline arc features Rukia now powerless stranded in the human world until she has the time to recover her true powers, while Ichigo fills in and battles Hollows in her place. And with each fight, Rukia starts to notice something special about Ichigo's abilities.
The second storyline arc of "Bleach" features the Soul Society wanting to sentence Rukia to death for transferring her powers to Ichigo. His friends also begin to develop special abilities. His childhood friend, Orihime Inoue, is given special abilities courtesy of her loving brother who has turned into a Hollow. Yasutora "Chad" Sato is Ichigo's tall friend (who is half Japanese/half Mexican) who suddenly becomes aware of spirits and develops an ability to have a special armored right arm that has special abilities. And Ichigo's rival/friend, Uryu Ishida, who is a descendant of a hollow hunting group known as the Quincy and are enemies of the Soul Reapers.
As their adventures have continued, we have seen Ichigo and his friends getting stronger, developing new abilities and taking on their most difficult foes yet but also earning the respect of his friends and the Soul Society, having saved their lives time and time again. But this time around, there comes a new enemy that may be so powerful that Ichigo may not be able to take them on…
Enter the Vandenreich!
The Current Storyline
We have only heard of how the Quincies had perished after a long feud with the Soul Reapers. The Soul Reapers which believed in having the soul of a hollow crossover to the Soul Society, while the Quincies believed in the total destruction of the hollow's soul. And while the two had tried to work out their dispute, in the end, it let do a war in which the Soul Reapers vanquished the Quincies.
With only Uryu Ishida thought to be the last Quincy alive, in volume 55 of "Bleach", it was revealed that one of the deadly Quincy's from the past, Yhwach, was not killed and has assembled a group known as the Vandenreich to eliminate all Soul Reapers and destroy the Soul Society.
Many have gone missing in Karakura Town and while the Vandenreich have made their presence known to Captain Yamamoto by killing 1st Division Lt. Sasakibe. Also, Hueco Mundo Arrancars have been attacked by the Hueco Mundo Army led by Quilge Opie who are trying to force the Arrancars to join them or else be killed.
As Nel goes to the human world to beg for Ichigo to save Hueco Mundo, Ichigo, Kisuke Urahara, Chad and Orihime hurry to Hueco Mundo to see what is happening. And with the distraction caused in that area, Yhwach orders the Vandenreich to attack the Soul Reapers in their home area inside the Seiretei and the top Quincy combatants of the Vandenreich, the Stern Ritter continues their destruction by trying to kill all Soul Reaper captains.
In vol. 57, as Ichigo tries to hurry back to the Soul Society, he is encased in some object and is unable to escape from it. Meanwhile, Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai take on Stern Ritter's "As Nodt", Shuhei Hisagi takes on Stern Ritter's "O" [The Overkill] Driscoll Berci and it looks like that without using their Bankai, the Soul Reapers have no chance.
Until Division 1 Captain, Shigekuni Yamamoto Genryusai, the most power soul reaper decides it is time to intervene and try to kill all of the Stern Ritter.
Leading up to a battle between Soul Reaper leader Captain Yamamoto vs. the King of Quincy's, Yhwach.
In vol. 58, Captain Yamamoto unleashes his bankai on Yhwach, a bankai that is so powerful that he would lost his arm. With the great power of Yamamoto's Bankai, it was thought to have killed Yhwach but instead, it is revealed that the man who died is one of his followers who has the power to shapeshift.
With many Soul Reapers badly injured or have been slaughtered by the Vandenreich, others try to get Ichigo Kurosaki to fight Yhwach but will Ichigo be powerful enough to take him or the Vandenreich on?
Meanwhile, there may be a group that can help Ichigo fight against Yhwach and its the mysterious and secretive Squad Zero.
In vol. 59, after the death of Captain Yamamoto and the Soul Reapers trying to assess the damages to their corps, Ichigo and Renji are taken in by Squad Zero to partake in their special training in hopes to fight the Vandenreich.
But as the two go through the simple path of meeting Kirio Hikifune, the two must go through the tests of Oh-Etsu Nimaiya, best know as the creator of the zanpakuto that each Soul Reaper is responsible for.
Meanwhile, as Ichigo and Renji undergo training, Kenpachi Zaraki is engaged in a fight to the death with Division 4 Captain Retsu Unohana. But why are these two Soul Reapers fighting to the death?
And last, the biggest reveal from Ichigo's father of who and what his mother is and why he is special.
In vol. 60, all is revealed of who Ichigo's parents are and how Ichigo became the person he is today and why his supernatural abilities are unlike others.
But also the biggest reveal of how Ichigo's mother died and the true identity of Zangetsu.
In volume 61 of "Bleach" as the Vandenreich has removed the protection of the Seiretei and initiated their attack on the Soul Reapers.
The war has begun and are the Soul Reapers ready for battle?
In volume 62 as the battle between the Soul Reapers and the Vandenreich continues but do the Soul Reapers have any chance to fight them since they have no access to their Bankai? Meanwhile, Ichigo has complete his training, but can he get to the Seireitei in time?
Which leads us to volume 63. The battle continues as Kensei Muguruma and Roujuro Otoribashi takes on the arrogant and very powerful wrestler, Mask de Masculine. Meanwhile Ruki Kuchiki must take on the devious As Nodt. But are these Soul Reapers powerful enough to take on these powerful Vandenreich members?
With the latest volume of "Bleach", volume 63 is an action-intense volume and will no doubt be a quick read as it focuses on the actual battle between the Soul Reapers and the Vandenreich.
From Roujuro Otoribashi and Kensei Muguruma going all out against the crazy but powerful Mask De Masculine. Meanwhile, Renji Abarai comes to lend some help but this is not the same Renji in year's past, as his training has made him and his zanpakuto improve to greater heights.
And the same can be said about Rukia Kuchiki, who must take on the sinister As Nodt. But when the going gets tough, who will be there for Rukia?
As always, Tite Kubo's artwork is awesome and he manages to showcase the action and emotions of the character through his panels. But "Bleach" has always been an action-driven manga series and you can't help but think that this late volume is setting up for big things to come.
Overall, "Bleach" vol. 63 is a good volume that doesn't showcase Ichigo and because of all the action, it is a quick read. But it's an interesting fight as Mask De Masculine seems indestructible and As Nodt is quite evil and wicked, so you just don't know that despite the newfound powers of Ruki and Renji, if their training is good enough to defeat the Vandenreich.
For longtime "Bleach" fans who have stayed with this series this long and love action-drive stories, "Bleach" Vol. 63 is highly recommended!

Reader Review of the Day: Neutrogena Facial Peel
Reader Review of the Day: Neutrogena Facial Peel
Facial masks and peels are a complicated bunch. They claim to do all manner of different things, have obscure, "advanced" ingredients, and the difference between one at home and one at the medispa can be enormous. That's why it's refreshing when one actually works, as Neutrogena Facial Peel ($22) apparently does, even if its name is a little misleading. Reader Stellajodella says:
This is a little pricey compared to what I normally spend on a mask, but it was totally worth it for me. Calling it a "Facial Peel" is a bit of a misnomer, though. It's actually a mask that you wash off, but it has exfoliating beads as well. Overall, it really helped brighten up my dull skin. I don't use it very often, since it has a tendency to dry out even my oily skin—but once or twice a month is great!

In 1996, Pam Cutler & Bonnie Brown had the idea to build a french mansion designed specifically for weddings and events. In 1998 their dream became a reality when the first wedding was held at the Chateaux. Pam and Bonnie decided then and there that no bride should have to share her big day, making the Chateaux one of the very few venues that NEVER hold more than one event at a time.
In 2012 Pam's daughters Marissa and Sarah became joint owners of The Chateaux, while Bonnie went to pursue her other passions.
