I'm new to this forum, but have been using TV Scheduler Pro fro several years on Windows XP and Vista
I'm considering an upgrade although my current system isn't broken and I'm happy with it.
However, I would like to have the ability to add a program to the schedule using a command line interface (or via a program of my own).
I see reference in this forum to a "keyboard interface". What is this? My current version seems only to have a web interface.
If a command line interface isn't currently available, an anyone suggest how I could create such a facility?

IIRC the KB interface was a stripped down / simplified web interface that could be operated entirely using only the keyboard. If you want to run web scheduler via the comnand line you will have to (AFAIK) use something like curl or wget to throw http at tv scheduler.
wget --post-data="hour=18&min=00&channel=7+Mackay&type=0&captype=2&duration=35&name=7+Local+News&namePattern=%28%25y-%25m-%25d+%25h-%25M%29+%25n+%25c&keepfor=1&task=none&path=0&Submit2=Submit&action=03&day=08&month=08&year=2013" "http://127.0.0.1:8088/servlet/ScheduleDataRes"
This will submit a once off recording to start at 6:00pm on 03/09/2013 (note: the month number is the actual month - 1) for channel '7 Mackay' to go to 35 minutes to record to file '7 Local News' (with date stamp included).

Looking for an alternative to TV Scheduler Pro? Take a look at dvscheduler for Windows or tvheadend for linux.

This is a list of missions for the Apollo program from 1967 to 1972. Each mission had their own mission insignia. Save for Apollo 15, which was displayed also in a bar in Bozeman, Montana, (Star Trek: First Contact) some of these insignia were displayed in the 602 Club on Earth in 2143. (ENT: "First Flight")
Apollo 1Edit
Apollo 1 was the first Apollo mission. It was crewed by Gus Grissom, Edward Higgins White, and Roger B. Chaffee. (ENT: "First Flight")
Apollo 7Edit
Apollo 7 was crewed by Wally Schirra, Donn F. Eisele, and Walter Cunningham. (ENT: "First Flight")

Jonathan Archer kept an image of one of the crewmembers, Pete Conrad, standing next to the US flag on the moon in his apartment in San Francisco. (ENT: "Shockwave") Alan Bean and Richard F. Gordon, Jr. were the other two crewmembers. (ENT: "First Flight")
Apollo 13Edit
Apollo 13 was the next mission in the Apollo program. The motto for this mission, "Ex Luna, Scientia" ("From the Moon, knowledge"), was the inspiration for that of Starfleet Academy — "Ex Astris, Scientia" ("From the stars, knowledge"). (TNG: "The First Duty"; Star Trek Encyclopedia)

Based in Geneva, Switzerland, with a further office in Singapore, the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center was established in 1994 to offer Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) options for the resolution of international commercial disputes between private parties. Developed by leading experts in cross-border dispute settlement, the arbitration, mediation and expert determination procedures offered by the Center are widely recognized as particularly appropriate for technology, entertainment and other disputes involving intellectual property. Since 2010 the Center has an office at Maxwell Chambers in Singapore.
An increasing number of cases are being filed with the Center under the WIPO Arbitration, Expedited Arbitration, Mediation and Expert Determination Rules. The subject matter of these proceedings includes both contractual disputes (e.g. patent and software licenses, trademark coexistence agreements, distribution agreements for pharmaceutical products and research and development agreements) and non-contractual disputes (e.g. patent infringement). WIPO disputes have involved parties based in different jurisdictions including Austria, China, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Panama, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The Center makes available a general overview of its caseload as well as descriptive examples of mediation and arbitration cases.
The Center believes that the quality and commitment of the neutrals are crucial to the satisfactory resolution of each case. The Center assists parties in the selection of mediators, arbitrators and experts from the Center's database of over 1,500 neutrals with experience in dispute resolution and specialized knowledge in intellectual property disputes. Where necessary in individual cases, the Center will use its worldwide contacts to identify additional candidates with the required background. After appointment also, the Center monitors its cases in terms of their time and cost effectiveness.
The Center conducts a number of workshops focused on its procedures in Geneva during the course of the year which are frequented especially by intellectual property professionals including prospective WIPO neutrals. There is also available an online course on arbitration and mediation under the WIPO Rules.
One of the case administration facilities which the Center makes available at the parties' option is the WIPO eADR. WIPO eADR allows for secure filing, storing and retrieval of case-related submissions in a web-based electronic docket, by parties, neutral(s) and the Center from anywhere in the world. It also facilitates case management by providing, in addition to the online docket, a case overview, time tracking and finance information.
While WIPO eADR is available only to parties to a WIPO procedure, the Center, under certain circumstances, makes available this facility in non-WIPO procedures. For example, the Center provides a customized version of WIPO eADR for use by the America's Cup Arbitration Panel of the 36th edition of the America's Cup international yachting competition, which will culminate in the final regattas in Auckland, New Zealand in March 2021.
The Center has also focused significant resources on establishing an operational and legal framework for the administration of disputes relating to the Internet and electronic commerce. For example, today the Center is recognized as the leading dispute resolution service provider for disputes arising out of the abusive registration and use of Internet domain names. In addition, the Center is frequently consulted on other specialized dispute resolution services.
An independent and impartial body, the Center forms part of the World Intellectual Property Organization.

Strasburg, Nationals stumble in loss to Miami
Righty lasts just four innings, bats muster five hits
MIAMI -- A troubling trend resurfaced for the Nationals Tuesday night at Marlins Park.
Right-hander Stephen Strasburg gave up three first-inning runs, setting the tone as Miami routed Washington 11-2 in front of 19,931 in Miami.
The Nationals, who won their first four games against the Marlins this season, lead the Majors with 18 earned runs allowed in the first inning.
"It's been difficult early on in some games when the starters have given up early runs and we've fallen behind," Nationals manager Matt Williams said.
One night after putting together the most complete game of a young season by pounding out 15 hits -- 11 for extra bases -- Washington collected just one through seven innings against righty Tom Koehler (2-1).
Strasburg (1-2), meanwhile, turned in his shortest outing of the young season and gave up a season-high six runs over four innings. Five days ago he went 6 2/3 and allowed one run with 12 strikeouts against Miami.
Like in the series opener, the Nationals had a two-out scoring opportunity in the first.
Anthony Rendon led off with a single before Bryce Harper grounded into a 6-3 double play. Koehler walked consecutive batters and threw a wild pitch to put runners at the corners, but Ian Desmond grounded into a fielder's choice to end the rally.
"It was a case of trying to do too much knowing that you have to go deep in the game and trying to be extra effective," said Koehler, who walked five and struck out three. "That's how you get in trouble. I had to step back and remember to make your pitches, take a deep breath and get back after it."
In the bottom half of the inning, Strasburg surrendered a three-run homer to Giancarlo Stanton to straightaway center. Stanton's fifth dinger of the season came on a 2-1 pitch. He now has three homers and eight RBIs against Strasburg.
The four hits allowed in the first were one more than the Marlins recorded in Strasburg's 6 2/3 innings last Thursday. Strasburg noticed guys being more aggressive early in the count against him. His location was also off throughout the game.
Over four 2014 starts, Strasburg has given up 14 earned runs on 24 hits in 21 innings.
"I think for me, if I can get through the first couple innings unscathed I'm pretty much able to shut the door from there," said Strasburg, who struck out five and walked three over 81 pitches. "The biggest thing is that pitch from Stanton. I've got to do a better job of executing that pitch. I can live with a couple runs here or there in the first, but that put me behind the eight ball."
Miami produced another three runs off Strasburg in the second on four hits and two walks.
Adeiny Hechavarria tripled to lead off the frame, Koehler struck out and Christian Yelich walked. Marcell Ozuna then drove in Hechavarria with an infield single to short, and Strasburg intentionally walked Stanton to load the bases. After Garrett Jones grounded into a forceout at home, Casey McGehee singled in two with a hit to left.
Benches and bullpens cleared when Desmond and Jarrod Saltalamacchia began jawing at each other following a high and inside pitch from Koehler in the fourth. Warnings were issued to both teams.
"The guy pitched a great game. I wasn't necessarily thinking he had intentions of hitting me," said Desmond, who went hitless in two at-bats. "You can drill me in the ribs, drill me in the leg -- wherever you want -- but four or five times missing in or around the head? I'm not claiming it's on purpose, but you've got to be able to control the ball. No big deal. It wasn't intended to escalate to what it did. Just heat of the moment stuff sometimes."
Craig Stammen came on in relief for Strasburg in the fifth -- giving up five runs on six hits -- as the Marlins extended their lead to 11.
His throwing error on Koehler's sacrifice bunt allowed Derek Dietrich and Hechavarria to score. Stanton drove in a pair with a double, and Jones capped Miami's scoring with an RBI single to right.
The Nationals avoided the shutout with a pair of runs off lefty Dan Jennings over the final two frames.
Harper singled with one out in the eighth and advanced to second on a wild pitch. He scored on a throwing error by Ozuna following Steven Souza's first Major League hit. Zach Walters, inserted into the game as a defensive replacement, connected on the first pitch from Jennings for a leadoff homer to right in the ninth.
"That's one of those [games]," Williams said of the blowout, "but nonetheless it's important that we play well. We didn't play well tonight."

Rapids player ratings vs. New England: It takes a village in MLS
This week's Rapids player-ratings come care of Kevin Villegas, a Denver native who has been following the Rapids since their inaugural season, plays midfield himself and works as a producer for a local advertising agency.
It's often said that possession is everything in soccer. But as last night's game between the Colorado Rapids and New England Revolution proves, the numbers that really matter at the end of the day are on the scoreboard.
The Rapids played their (new-new 4-4-2) brand of soccer, and at times dominated the midfield. And despite having to play on artificial turf field — one the Revs' front office continues to insist is a worthy pitch — the Rapids looked the better side.
In the imposed parity of Major League Soccer, no team goes on the road insisting that a point is good enough. But for a mid-week game on turf on the other side of the country, the Rapids might have had just that in mind.
What started with good possession ended with chances unfulfilled, led by bad finishing and a lack of a final pass. Add some tired legs into the equation, and it's no wonder the Revs took all three.
On to the ratings:

If you're venturing out to a cold weather destination this winter, you may want to consider warming up and winding down in one of these spas as a way to treat yourself. Each one mentioned below features at least one eco-themed massage, using local or organic products.
The Hawthorn and Mallow Body Glow at The Spa at Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole uses locally harvested berries and marshmallow leaves to moisturize and finishes with a barley body wash and whole-wheat lotion. The Après massage accommodates modest skiers, since you wear comfortable clothing during the rubdown.
Teton Mountain Lodge's new Solitude Spa uses only organic products or those made by green-minded companies. The Balance massage aids stiff skiers' muscles by pairing warm stones with oil — ask your therapist to use locally produced arnica oil to further aid muscle recovery.
The Spa at the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel features all-natural and organic products. The Herbal Hibernation treatment wraps you in gauze steeped in tea bags to warm you up and extract toxins from your body.
The new Allegria Spa at Park Hyatt Beaver Creek features a Mountain Juniper Berry Scrub that revives and exfoliates, and the therapist finishes with a honey rinse and rosemary mint lotion to help restore moisture.
The Mountain Man body treatment at The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera in Vail Valley stimulates with a scrub, a liniment rub, and an herbal spice lotion massage.
The Stoweflake Mountain Resort and Spa uses both local and organic products in many of its therapies. The Vermont Maple Body Sugar Polish treatment hydrates skin with a vitamin-packed maple scrub and locally handmade body butter. The Green Mountain Coffee Body Treatment starts with an organic, fair-trade coffee scrub, moves on to a nourishing Dead Sea mud wrap, and finishes with a coffee-oil massage.
At nearby Topnotch Resort and Spa, the Mount Mansfield Saucha wraps you in linen sheets steeped in organic oils, indigenous herbs and flowers before the therapist begins your massage.
The Spa at Sundance Resort is a cozy retreat — mostly built from reclaimed wood — that offers natural and organic treatments inspired by Native American traditions. Its signature Sundance Stone Massage loosens tired muscles with heated rocks, and the Warming Ginger Scrub combines the freshly ground spice with organic sugar and essential oils to exfoliate and improve circulation.
The High Altitude Massage at the Cliff Spa at Snowbird Resort uses a custom-blended mix of essential oils to help skiers acclimate to the thin mountain air. And Styrofoam packing peanuts find new life as toe separators for pedicures.

During this time you are laying the groundwork for literacy, math, and even science. But your number one goal is to develop your child's love of learning and to view learning as a stimulating, enriching process that is fun and rewarding.
Structuring Lessons
In the end, these are the three things that determined how I structured my lessons:
• My child's learning style
• The method I chose to follow
• My family's daily schedule
Learning Styles
I've talked briefly about how children learn in different ways. Most are visual learners and do well with an image-rich curriculum. Others are auditory learners who need to listen to directions and do better with a literature-based curriculum. And some are kinesthetic and learn best with hands-on activities. In addition to these three learning styles, some children need a lot of repetition and take a little time to absorb concepts, while others quickly catch on and need to move on to the next thing or they quickly get bored. But there are other ways as well. In 1983, Howard Gardner proposed the theory of multiple intelligences. You can read more about them here to help you determine your child's learning style.
There are many books and websites out there that discuss learning styles and how to teach effectively as a result. Check out this page in La Librería for several highly recommended titles. Once you know the way your child learns best, you can then plan your lessons accordingly.
Homeschooling Method
The method you choose to use to teach your child will have a huge impact on how you structure your day. A few are textbook oriented, but most are not. If you follow the Charlotte Mason method, there will be a LOT of reading involved, but if you prefer the Montessori style, you may be spending a lot of time using manipulatives. I teach my child using the Eclectic Approach, pulling from the methods that which I feel works best for us. Read more about the various methods here.
Your Family Schedule
If you work outside the home (or even in the home!) your work schedule will affect when you homeschool. And if your child participates in extra-curricular activities like sports, music, or art, you will have to schedule your class time around them. My daughter took music lessons one morning a week and art lessons at the local museum one afternoon a week, so our lessons worked around these times.
I think that most of us have an idea in our heads from our own childhood of what Kindergarten is supposed to be like: a bright classroom, filled with toys, blackboards and other educational tools that children attend from 8:30 am to 3 pm, five days a week.
But now that you are homeschooling your child, you should throw that idea out the window!! Your days can be as rigidly or loosely structured as what works best for you and your child. And it will be unique. Tomorrow I will share what worked for us our first year and how quickly it changed. But what works for me and my child, will not necessarily work for you and yours. We'll also talk more about what to teach.
Did you enjoy this article? Are you thinking about homeschooling your child? Let me help! My book - The Latino Family's Guide to Homeschooling - covers everything you see here and more.

US 421 closed after tanker truck overturns
U.S. 421 was closed for nearly eight hours Wednesday after a fuel tanker truck landed upside down in the median and leaked. The driver was OK.
The single-vehicle crash happened around 12:10 p.m. at mile marker 243 near Reynolds Road. The road reopened around 8 p.m.
The driver was out of the truck by the time emergency officials arrived and was taken to the hospital for evaluation.
A witness from a nearby home said the tractor-trailer was going north on U.S. 421 when a tire blew out. The driver hit the brakes, and the truck skidded down the highway, hit a guardrail and stopped in the median.
The tank filled with gasoline ruptured, causing some of the 2,500 gallons of gasoline to spill. Some of the fuel spilled onto the highway.
Hazmat crews cleaned up the spilled fuel, and crews pumped the gasoline that was still in the wrecked tank into another tanker truck.
U.S. 421 traffic was detoured onto Lewisville streets, causing significant delays. NCDOT officials requested long-distance drivers to use U.S. 601 and Interstate 40 o avoid the mess.

Aug 16, 2009"Disney Cars Volume 1" I ordered your book last week. It is definetly a fantastic resource, there is so much information and the pictures are very clear. I was very pleased that the same caliber of information from the website posts are in this book. The only thing that i was slightly disappointed in was that it costs $40 not that this would discourage me from purchasing it because i knew the information was coming from a reliable source, i was just hoping it could come down in price. At the same time I understand it is a by request book through a private publisher so the price does get more expensive than having a mass produced book running a cheaper price. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a diehard Disney cars collector, or even those just wanting to learn more of what they are missing in there collections with picture examples. Don't let the price discourage you! DEFINETLY buy this book!! There's none other out on the market like it! Jeanne Scriven
Feb 1, 2009"Disney Cars Volume 1" Received my book yesterday and all I have to say is three words to say: SUPERB! SUPERB! SUPERB! This is a must-have book for every CARS collector. I have not read a book in years, I mean years. I sat down and read this book in one setting. My seven year old kept begging me for it (after all I started collecting CARS for him in 2006 when he was 5). Wouldn't let him have it until I was completely finished. I think this book will be a collector's item in its own rights. The book was well written and easy to follow. This book is a great buy! Grab it before it goes into its second printing.
Dec 22, 2008"This book is a must for any CARS collector." I received my book yesterday, and it is fantastic. I run the Cars Drive In Gallery (www.carsdriveingallery.com) website, and you can read my full review there. Go to www.carsdriveingallery.com/blog.html to read my full review.
Jun 21, 2008"Mattel Pixar Cars The Diecast Story & Checklist 2006-2007 Vol 1" Received my copy the other day and was thrilled with the content and picture quality. Having previewed the book, I decided to spend the extra for a hard-cover edition and glad I did. The time and effort that went into gathering and compiling the information must have been monumental, so I can appreciated the cost. What I appreciated even more is how well the material was laid out and I can hardley wait for volume 2 as I suspect it will contain even more information as this CARS thing has really taken off. (Maybe purchasers of volume 1 will get a discount on subsequent volumes - hope so, as this could end up a series of six or seven volumes) I did not read it in one sitting, but did finish it in 2 days. I am using it as well as reading it. There were some of the variations I was not aware of until I read the book, so now I'm looking. The thrill of the race is on again or still, but accelerated.

dchan necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 77 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
The name of the company is Nexus Biologicals. Need a logo that:
a) conveys the idea that our reagents (antibodies) will allow the user make "connections" (the definition of Nexus) in their research if they use our reagents;
b) Antibodies are proteins that are made in rabbits which are valuable reagents for many biomedical research. Need a logo with a picture of a rabbit. I'm not looking for image of a fuzzy, cute rabbit in the logo, but something that is proper. This company (http://www.bethyl.com) sells the same reagents as what we will be marketing and I like how they make use of the 3 animals in their logo. If you incorporate an animal in the design, please make the image of the animal dignified.
Nexus Biologicals
Our company sell antibodies, which are very important reagents that are used for biomedical research by scientists in universities and biotech companies. I'm looking for a logo that conveys the message that our reagents (antibodies) will allow the user to make "scientific connections or discoveries" if they use our reagent. The definition of Nexus is a means of connection or link.
An alternative will be to incorporate an image of a rabbit with the name of the company, but please do not make the rabbit look like Bugs Bunny or anything cartoonish.
Also, the shape of an antibody is like the letter "Y" . A logo that incorporates this idea is also welcome. This antibody company's logo makes use of this theme: http://www.abcam.com
something professional
no more than 2 colors
simple and not too elaborate
images of cartoonish or cute bunnies
too elaborate designs

Old Massey's Collect the Nicest People!
There was a very interesting and informative seminar and presentation on the history of Massey by Campbell Scott a Scotsman who spent his early years at the Stoneleigh factory and now part of the team at the Beavais factory.
He attracted a huge crowd around the floor as he presented the show in ten year incriments, it was encouraging to see so many present day users of M-F equipment so interested in the history of the Company, let's hope AGCO take note of this which may help to change their approach towards a little more passion for their history, rather than just numbers of new sales, it's all about getting the balance right.
Here are a few photo's of his show.

We've spent the last month troubleshooting some ephemeral site rendering problems... or trying, anyway. Today we hit the "omg, that's going to kind of suck" level on our list of possible problems, which means that you might notice some temporary differences when you're browsing the site for the next week or so.
Up first: a mostly javascript free frontpage. The only running scripts on the Ars Technica homepage will be ad code and Google Analytics. This means we won't have any spiffy filtering of frontpage stories, tab based filtering on the journal box, or a customize menu. Those elements will all work on other pages, just not the frontpage. Your customizations should also still apply (if you use the dark theme, for instance). The frontpage will remain this way throughout Tuesday, then switch back to the full featured goodness you've come to expect for Wednesday.

Dave Lakhani brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 73 Designs von 28 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
I have a multi DVD product called The Profitable Speaker, I need a powerful, impactful logo that instantly communicates the idea that there is a system that makes speakers profitable.
The Profitable Speaker
I need a logo that will be used as a jpeg in the video itself and on the outside of the box. It will also be used in a website header.
I am a professional speaker who trains other speakers to create six and seven figure speaking businesses. This is a high end DVD product that will represent a major investment in themselves.
I'm a well known bestselling author (legitimately, not because I sold one book)
My company Bold Approach is also very well known.
- I like very powerful logos. Impactful, aggressive colors (but easyto reproduce on a digital color copier etc.) and that are hip and edgy.
- This should probably have a graphic element, you may find some good graphics at istockphoto.com that would be very workable.
I like cool fonts but they must be easy to read. I want something that really jumps out and grabs people, something that would stop them and force them to look if they saw it as they walked by a cluttered workspace.
- I also want something that clearly communicates the idea of a system, making money because of it, and success.
- Some graphics that could work, money, a microphone, someone speaking to an audience, people crowding around to give a single person on a stage money (no strippers) etc.
I do not want any clip art unless it is amazing. Every time I've done
this people include crappy clip art, I will elimiate you immediatley
and not consider anything else you submit if you do something that has
cheesy free clip art imagines.

The show opened with a video feature on the Bobby Roode title win and heel turn. Taz and Mike Tenay discussed the top matches on the card and Bobby Roode's change in attitude
TNA TV champion Eric Young vs. Robbie E (with Robby T)
When the bell rang, Young tried to lock up with the referee and then ran around the ring. He ran into Robby T. Robbie E tried to attack him from behind but Young got the better of him. Young went to the top rope and leapt into the ring, E avoided it but was nailed with a forearm smash to the face. Young went into a handstand on the top rope and came down, catching E with head scissors.
Robby T clotheslined Young, setting up E to nail some offense and get some near falls. Young came back with a roll up from behind but was kicked out and into the turnbuckles. E nailed a forearm off the ropes for a two count. E whipped Young into the ropes and nailed him with a back elbow for another two count. E cinched in a side chinlock.
Young fought his way out and nailed several punches but was slammed down. E went back to the chinlock. Young broke the move with a jawbreaker. Young dropped down and out of his first set of rights. He went up and above the ropes, then slipped through E's legs and dropkicked him. Young nailed a belly to belly suplex on E and came off the top with a flying elbowdrop for a two count, but E was pulled out of the ring by Robby T.
Young stripped down again, this time to pink tights and came off the top with a flying bodypress onto E and T on the floor. Young tossed E back into the ring but was nailed in the back of his legs with a clothesline by T. E rolled Young up and scored the pin, winning the title.
Your winner and new TNA TV champion, Robbie E!
The match was a fun opener for the Young silliness, but the finish seemed to come out of nowhere. With two appearances left on the Ronnie from Jersey Shore deal, this makes sense to set that up.
TNA Tag Team champs Mexican America & Sarita vs. Ink, Inc. & Toxine.
Jesse Neal and Hernandez went back and forth with power spots early, then went nose to nose. They started shoving each other. Neal drilled him with a big burst of offense and a boot to cover Hernandez for a one count. Moore tagged in and shoulderblocked Hernandez. Hernandez fought him off but missed a charge into the corner. Moore went for a bodypress but was caught. He slipped out and rolled up Hernandez for a two count.
Anarquia tagged himself in but was rocked by some of Moore's offense, including a springboard into a spinkick. Ink Inc. double teamed Anarquia. Hernandez tagged in and mauled Neal. Moore and Toxine argued with the referee, allowing all if Mexican America to work over Neal. Anarquia nailed Neal with a dropkick, sending him to the floor, where he was wrecked even more.
Back in the ring, Anarquia locked in a rear chinlock, using his knee to add additional pressure in Neal's back. Hernandez tagged in after Neal's attempt to make a comeback was struck down. Mexican America tried to double team Neal, who moved and Anarquia nearly snapped his neck hitting the turnbuckles at an awkward position. Neal tacked Hernandez and made the tag to Toxine.
Toxine and Sarita went back and forth. Toxine used a tiltowhirl into a gutwretch suplex. Ink Inc. double clotheslined Hernandez out of the ring when he tried to get involved. Moore hit an Asai Moonsault to the floor. Neal and Toxine worked over Anarquia and then pulled his pants down. We got a full moon and what was supposedly the tattoo they gave him. He scampered out of the ring.
In the heat of battle Sarita drilled Toxine in the back and scored the pin.
Your winners and still TNA Tag Team champions, Mexican America and Sarita!
Not pretty at times but everyone worked really hard.
Jeremy Borash interviewed X-Division champ Austin Aries and Kid Kash. Kash said tonight is what it is. He said he hates Sorensen is a disrespectful punk and he's tired of seeing him and having him around. Aries said that Kash needed to stick to the plan - two on one. He said that it's a handicap match and now because Sorensen is retarded. He said this isn't High School football and Sorensen's not going to be prom king. He's going to see what it's like dealing with two grown ass men. Kash was losing his cool and said he was going to kick the hell out of that bitch.
TNA X-Division champion Austin Aries vs. Jesse Sorensen vs. Kid Kash
Sorensen tried to avoid the veterans early but wouldn't back down. Kash demanded Aries back off so he could get a crack at Sorensen. Aries obliged. Kash and Sorensen went nose to nose. Aries drilled Soresen from behind. They worked him over. Sorensen nailed Kash. Aries went right after Sorensen ad nailed a big backdrop. Sorensen tosses Aries and Kash to the outside and hit a tope con hilo over the top to the floor.
He tossed Aries back in and drilled Kash in the head. The heels soon took control again. Kash started trash talking Sorensen as he beat him down. He picked up and slammed Sorensen down. Kash held Sorensen so Aries could take his shots at him. Aries argued with the ref, allowing Kash to nail a shot to the nether-regions. The crowd chanted for Jesse.
Kash dropped Sorensen into an over the knee backbreaker. He got a two count, at which point Aries realized Kash could end up winning and warned him to stick to the plan. Their dissension allowed Sorensen to nail both with a dropkick. He nailed Kash out of the ring and came off the top with a bodypress on Aries. Kash broke up the pin. Kash locked Sorensen in a surfboard. Aries drilled Sorensen in the face as he was trapped. Kash drilled him with a knee.
Kash and Aries worked over Sorensen in the corner. Sorensen backdropped Kash over the top but Aries nailed him and sent him to the floor. Kash whipped him into the railing and chopped him. Kash held Sorensen for Aries to hit a crazy fast dive to the outsider. Kash broke up a pinfall. Aries warned him to stick to the plan and help him get rid of Sorensen first. They started arguing. Sorensen fired back with a series of punches but was cut off by an Aries clothesline. Sorensen is being built as the never say die old school white meat babyface.
They set up Sorensen in the middle. Aries went for a frog splash but Sorensen got his knees up. Kash missed a moonsault. Sorensen made a comeback, working over Aries with a series of rights. He nailed an awesome spinning neckbreaker on Aries but Kash broke it up. Aries was nailed with a nasty looking boot to the face and a neckbreaker but Kash again broke it up.
Kash worked over Sorensen in the corner with some awesomely stiff chops. Kash is AWESOME in his role. Sorensen goes to the ropes and kicks off Kash. Sorensen came off the ropes but Kash clotheslined him in mid-air. Kash is really making Sorensen work for it. Sorensen recovered and ascended to the top rope again but was caught by a Kash punch to the head. Kash nailed a superplex and had him pinned but instead got up and made a motion that he was trying to take Sorensen out for good instead.
Kash nailed Sorensen with the Money Maker but Aries put Sorensen's leg on the rope and told the referee to save the title. Kash didn't realize what Aries did and was amazed. Aries came from behind and rolled up Kash (and may have held the tights) to get the win.
Your winner and still X-Division champion, Austin Aries!
This was really, really good in the stories they were telling - the never say die attitude of Sorensen and Kash as the bitter, evil veteran who ended up screwed by the cunning champ. Loved this.
Jeremy Borash interviewed AJ Styles. I guess here comes the attack on the ankle. Styles ripped on Bobby Roode for winning the title the way he did. Styles said that everything he did in TNA, he did with honor and respect. He said Roode destroyed everything Fortune worked for in one night and spit in not just their faces but all of TNA's face. He said that he doesn't intend to spit in Roode's face but knock it off. He told Roode to enjoy his time as champion because he won't be lasting much longer.

Ahead of tonight's semi-final, here's a little interview with me talking about food, cooking and John and Gregg.
If you would care to relive what has become known as the 'WI Debacle' then it's available on iPlayer. If you'd prefer to sit tight and wait for the next instalment it's on BBC1 tonight (1st April) at 8:30pm.
Oh, and have a decadent decadently long weekend x

you sir are not only a fabulous cook, but a darn natural on the camera.
Here in the rubbish USofA we don't get the UK masterchef, and I wish now that we did. I would love to see more of you in action.
Great looking, inventive modern food, with personality, enthusiasm and great technique behind it.

I have often wondered how many of the foodbloggers have been on Masterchef...now I know of at least one!!! Good luck!
Glad I found your site!

If you have used the code direct from YouTube to "embed" in your blog, I think you can alter the width by just changing the line of code
object width="640" height="385"
and just change it accordingly to whatever size you want to.
But hey, I'm no web wizard - and can't be held responsible for any video related incidents :)
Commiserations on not getting the masterchef trophy but methinks you'll travel just as far without it.

News about Lupita Nyong'o's speech at Essence magazine's seventh annual Women in Hollywood luncheon last week has traveled way beyond the filmic tabloids. That's because the "12 Years a Slave" star's speech for best breakout performance was not the usual "I'd like to thank" recitation list. It was about skin, and how she had always dreamed she would wake up one day to find hers a few shades lighter.
Michelle Ebanks, president of Essence Communications, Inc., tells Marketing Daily that Nyong'o's speech about looks informs larger issues that African-American women have about their identity. Unfortunately, and despite Nyong'o's star turn in the Oscar-nominated film, those feelings are only inflamed by media, including advertising. "Real, authentic beauty is something we don't often see," she says.
A study last fall by Essence magazine and the New York office of global strategic marketing agency Added Value demonstrates that African-American women think marketers are misrepresenting them: they see marketers as either going to a set of (mostly) denigrating stereotypes, or deliberately choosing lighter-skinned, mixed-ethnicity models to serve as avatars for what marketers think "African American" means, or should mean.
The study also found that African-American women want to see more positive typologies in media and advertising, and they show high engagement with those channels and brands that supply them (the study gives ABC's "Scandal" as one positive example).
Based on a survey of 1,200 white and African-American women, the study identified 12 dominant media typologies with names like "Mean Girl," "Angry Black Woman," "Gold Digger," and "Black Jezebel" (a lascivious-woman stereotype.) Participants in the study made a point to call out music videos as having the worst track record of disseminating negative imagery, closely followed by social media and reality TV. "These are overall psychographic typologies that are not reflective of our audience or ourselves," says Ebanks. "Yet, again and again, these stereotypes are played out in media and in advertising."
Stephen Palacios, EVP of Added Value, tells Marketing Daily that advertising is full of these images. "They popped up throughout advertising; some insurance brands traded off of the funny black woman extreme characterization, for example." He says the study established three parameter flashpoints around physical representation of African American women in ads: hair, which is often not represented in its natural form; body curves and body type; and skin hue. "There was widespread belief and examples of the light-skin black woman becoming the representative of African American women in mainstream advertising," he says. "And there is a huge controversy around this, and advertisers sometimes do this quite intentionally."
Apparel brand H&M raised hackles around these image issues when it used Beyoncé for bathing suit ads and altered her curves to make them less pronounced. Beyoncé herself was among the displeased. "Here's an example of how an advertiser will choose a light-skinned black woman and adjust her body type," says Palacios. "And there are all kinds of examples of how darker-skinned black women are not chosen as spokespeople." Palacios says that as part of the publication of the study, they revealed it to the advertising community "as principles to consider if they want to appeal to their African American female constituency."
He says Pantene is a brand example of "doing it right" -- they were credited for showing real hair, a variety of women who are dark-skinned and light-skinned because "we come in all colors, shapes and sizes," as one respondent put it.
Ebanks says nine typologies emerged as more aspirational images, and are also more aligned with how black women see themselves: Real beauty; girl next door (reflecting the fact that African-American women have a much more diverse social circle than non-African-American women); funny women; modern matriarch; community heroine; young phenom (gymnast Gabrielle Douglas, for example); and the individualist (composer/singer Genelle Monet) are examples. "These new typologies are what audiences are hungry for," she says. "They are realistic and aspirational. But [study subjects] saw the negative typologies far more frequently; the more authentic typologies far less."
Palacios says the study involved three communities of African-American women and men. For one week they kept diaries of their on- and off-line media usage; during the second week they received targeted questions to stimulate their search for images and topics. "We asked them to focus on certain kinds of issues, topics and questions and do exercises," says Palacios. "We took findings around dominant typologies of images in media for African-Americans and quantified the extent to which they are represented general media and what kind of impact they have emotionally."
Most of the women in the audience at that Essence meeting were under a straight hair wig and can expect to see Lupita in one after Hollywood is done with her...I can only hope not...

Keep Your Kids Healthy with Safe Sunscreen
Keep Your Kids Healthy with Safe Sunscreen
Summer is upon us - it's time for swimming pools, beaches, lots of sand, sun, and sunscreen. Of course, you don't want your kids (or you) to get burned, but experts now advise that you really investigate the type of sunscreen you're using. In fact, research shows that the chemicals in many sunscreens can cause serious health problems.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has been investigating sunscreens for some years. They stay abreast of the latest research on the safety and efficacy of the ingredients and formulations and keep us informed. This year, EWG has compiled a list of little known facts about sunscreen, and they're not pretty.
For example, here are a few important things you might not be aware of:
- There's very little evidence that sunscreens prevent skin cancer.
- There is evidence that sunscreens may actually increase the risk of the deadliest form of skin cancer.
- According to the FDA, there is an "absence of data demonstrating additional clinical benefit" of high SPF sunscreens.
- Using sunscreens could result in Vitamin D deficiency – which can cause bone pain and muscle weakness, increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment in older adults, severe asthma in children, and cancer. It can also contribute to diabetes, hypertension, glucose intolerance and multiple sclerosis.
- Vitamin A in sunscreens could speed the development of cancer.
And that's not all. Read Sunscreens Exposed: Nine Surprising Truths to get the full scoop.
What can you do to protect your children?
Fortunately, there are some sunscreens that are safe and do a good job. The EWG has compiled their 2012 list of 1800 sun protection products – including sunscreen and SPF lip balms, moisturizers and make-up. Obviously you won't need the make-up info for your kids, but you might as well take advantage of this too!
You can search the EWG Cosmetics Database for the sunscreens you are using or considering, or peruse the entire list (it's organized by level of toxicity) to find one that's safe. For a small donation, you can even download and print out a guide you can take to the store when you go shopping.
Summer can be the happiest time of year for you and your kids. Using a non-toxic sunscreen helps take the worry out of sun exposure so you can make this summer the best yet!

Anne Arundel County to host Adopt-A-Thon
Fees for senior pets to be waived
The Anne Arundel County Animal Control will host an Adopt-A-Thon.
The event will be held at the Anne Arundel County Animal Control shelter at 411 Maxwell Frye Road in Millersville from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 11.
Fees for animals ages seven years of age or older will be waived during the event.
Adopters of the senior pets will only be responsible for paying the licensing fee at the time of adoption.
Officials said a bill passed by the County Council in September of 2012 now gives Animal Control the ability to waive certain adoption fees for specific events with approval from the Chief of Police. Animal Control hopes this special event and the waived fees will help both senior animals and other animals at the shelter find forever homes.
The event features adoptable animals from Anne Arundel County Animal Control, adoptable animals from other local rescue groups and shelters, representatives from low cost spay/neuter clinics, educational tables including Humane Education and Bite Prevention, refreshments provided by the Anne Arundel County Alarmers, live music, a demonstration by the Anne Arundel County Police Department's K-9 Unit and much more.

It is not often that you find enterprising web apps from Indian developers that cater to a diverse group of people. (Forgive my ignorance if you do, and send their links to me) So when I am asked by one of the developers, a friend of mine on Twitter, of this brand new online writing app I pretty much jump at it like a really hungry direwolf on a bunch of scared stags.
Indite is a… how do I put it… writing and thought aid that features a very minimalist, distraction-free environment (for the most part). The developers describe it as a "spatial text editor" that, in turn allows you to create short snippets of texts or "blurbs" across multiple sheets. These can be collated later and downloaded as a plain text file or a rich text file with formatting.
It holds great use for me as a mind mapping tool to lay out the different aspects of a story, an essay, or even this post:-
You simply click on any region of the screen and start typing. A tiny box will pop up to show you what you have written. You can use HTML markdown to format the text and that is just *very nice* if you ask me. There is no save button anywhere in the app, because everything is automagically saved. All you need to do is login to Indite to see your thoughts arrayed across.
Collating text to export is as simple as selecting the blurbs you want and pressing Ctrl+J (if you are on a Mac, ⌘+J) and it opens up a new window with the blurbs in an ordered manner along with an option to save it to disk.
It is indeed quite a charming little app, currently in an open beta. However it does suffer from being slightly sluggish. I am not entirely sure if it was just my ancient laptop. There is no mobile version for this as of now. The app, however, does load on an HTML5 capable browser and is even slower than on my laptop.
The app also needs an active Internet connection and has no failover if the connection is lost and you type away happily and shut the page down without exporting and saving it.
That said, it is still in beta. I cannot wait to use this when it comes to a portable device!

The roots of Aureliano Toso are on Murano. Known for the high quality glass works, the Venetian island is a center of Italian craftsmanship.
Aureliano Toso lamps manage to combine tradition and modernity. The Derby lighting collection for example, introduces its unusual design as well as its high quality in terms of workmanship and materials. The innovative approach of Aureliano Toso lamps also highlights the Air Lights series. Unusual forms and cool design makes it to an eye-catcher especially in modern homes. LightingDeluxe offers different lights of the Italian tradition manufacturer.
To preserve the ancient mysteries, which developed around the glassblowing techniques over the centuries, the rulers of Venice issued a decree according to which all the furnaces were moved to the island of Murano in the north-west of the city. Officially this was done for fire protection reasons, unofficially but all rulers of Europe were interested in the glassblowing techniques and so they had to be protected. The glassblowers of Murano were forbidden under pain of severe penalties disclosure. Until the 15th century, the glass artfully crafted became one of the main sources of income of the lagoon city. Due to their fragility, only very few pieces have survived the centuries. Nowadays usually only still lives show the special glass works of the Renaissance. However, the unique quality of that, clear glass "Cristallo" lives on in the work of Aureliano Toso. In numerous schools, museums and art studios, the glass art is preserved by the Government of Italy. Besides Bohemia, which is now internationally renowned for its crystal-glass work and where even the famous manufacturer Swarovski has its roots, only Murano has a similar status.
The Italian Leucos Group recognized the potential of Aureliano Toso and incorporated the traditional manufacturer into an own corporate network. Thanks overlap in clientele and similar standards of quality and production, this step was logical. Founded in 1962, the manufacturer Leucos can look back on an equally long history as Aureliano Toso. Both companies are also available for the island of Murano and maintain the important heritage today together and develop it with modern designs further, without forgetting the high standards of quality and craftsmanship. LightingDeluxe offers a wide range of high-quality lamps by Aureliano Toso, which still impresses with the special elegance that Murano glass work has always been. The Italian manufacturer offers modern designer lamps with classical influences. The LightingDeluxe Light Journal provides current information and ideas around the theme of light and design.

Technology and medicine
Milton Roy kidney machine, United States, 1966
Take a ride on the magic bus
Machines became central to medicine in Europe during the 1800s. Medicine had always relied on technology such as scalpels, probes and materia medica. However, by the start of the 20th century new instruments were available to study, diagnose and treat the body. Today, hospitals worldwide use complex, computerised machines to image the body or assist its function.
Developing medical devices in the 1800s
During the 1800s doctors and biomedical scientists developed instruments to examine and understand the body. Devices such as the thermometer, microscope and kymograph revealed how healthy and diseased bodies worked. In 1816, French doctor Rene Laennec invented the stethoscope. This simple wooden tube enabled doctors to hear and diagnose chest diseases. It became an iconic object in biomedicine. Other instruments were developed over the century: the ophthalmoscope saw into specific organs such as the eye and the oesophagus; the sphygmograph provided information about organs deep inside the body such as the heart. Many instruments became routine equipment.
Using electrical machines as therapy in the 1800s
Electrotherapy machines used electricity to treat patients during the 1800s. Electrostatic machines and galvanic or faradic devices gave brief electric shocks or sustained electric current to patients' bodies.
Other machines produced light or heat for heliotherapy and diathermy therapies. Doctors initially used such machines to treat conditions such as gout, paralysis and toothache. However, many were ineffective. Others are still useful therapy. They treat pain, spasms and brain conditions such as epilepsy. A distant relative of electrotherapy is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT, sometimes called electroshock). This was invented in the 1930s and is a controversial treatment for mental illness. ECT in a modified form is still used to treat some cases of severe depression.
X‑rays transform diagnosis
German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X‑rays in 1895. This changed the way doctors diagnosed and treated disease. X‑ray machines became powerful medical tools over the next 30 years, especially during the First World War. Doctors could now see deep inside the body without using exploratory surgery.
X‑rays were not just used for diagnosis. Cancer could be treated using X‑ray radiation therapy devices. However, unprotected exposure to X‑ray radiation causes burns and cancer. Many patients and radiologists in the early 20th century died from overexposure before the risks were understood. Using proper safety measures, X‑rays were the main imaging technology until the 1970s. Other imaging machines such as the CT, PET and MRI scanner were developed. Unlike traditional X‑ray machines, they gave detailed views of the body's complex structures, such as the brain.
Developing technology to assist the body
Assistive technologies became central to medicine during the 20th century. Advances in science, engineering and manufacturing were applied to medical problems. Technologies such as hearing aids, artificial limbs and mobility aids became more sophisticated. Ventilators, pacemakers and other machines were developed to support, enhance or replace the body's organs. Willem Kolff invented the kidney dialysis machine during the 1940s.
The computer revolution in medicine
Using computers was one of the most important technological changes in 20th-century medicine. They became central to medical care from the 1950s. Computerised machines in hospitals monitored patients continuously. They also enabled insurers and state-run health services to track patient records on a massive scale. Imaging techniques such as MRI or PET were possible because faster computers could reconstruct images of the body. More diagnostic tests were developed because automated laboratory machines performed tests quicker and more accurately.
Machines give rise to specialist medical practitioners
Technologies had a major role in medicine becoming more specialised. Many medical technologies allowed specific parts of the body to be studied, diagnosed or treated. This led to doctors who specialised in certain organs. These include ophthalmologists (doctors specialising in eye conditions) and otolaryngologists (ear-nose-throat specialists). Devices such as the X‑ray machine introduced medical professionals such as radiologists and radiographers.
Gradual acceptance of technology
Not all new technologies were readily accepted by the medical community. Many were viewed with suspicion. In the 1930s some doctors doubted an X‑ray image of the chest was as reliable as a physical examination. Devices threatened to replace the diagnostic expertise of traditional doctors. Many doctors valued their clinical experience over machine-produced information. Other technologies failed because doctors or patients found them impractical. ECG was only useful when it became portable and reliable enough to be used at the patient's bedside.
Limits on the use of technology within medicine
Medical machines also caused practical problems. Safety concerns and cost have limited their use. Technology has changed the relationship between patients and practitioners. Some historians and physicians argued machines made doctors poorer healers by encouraging them to focus only on the sick parts of the body, rather than caring for the patient as a whole. Many question whether excessive use of technology within childbirth or to prolong life can be intrusive and do more harm than good.
Devices causing dilemmas
Advancing technology has presented physicians and patients with serious ethical dilemmas. Ultrasound screens foetuses for disease before babies are born. However, some parents must decide whether to terminate the pregnancy if the fetus is revealed to have a certain condition. Does medical technology impose on us more than it empowers?

Windsor Medical was founded in 1961 by W. Phillip McConnell. While there were individuals providing nursing care in private homes at that time,
the Windsor was the first building in Stark County DESIGNED to be a skilled nursing facility.
As the needs of the community have grown, so has the Windsor. In 1998, "the Colonies" was added, providing assisted living apartments.
On May 1, 2012, the Windsor had a ground breaking ceremony to begin the addition of approximately 20,000 square feet that will be dedicated to a
brand new skilled care nursing unit. The building will boast 41 premier state of the art private suites, each with a full bath. Its previous
skilled care nursing section will be completely remodeled to allow for new physical therapy areas, as well as providing space for an Adult Day Care (Social Center),
which has not been available in the past. In addition, Home Health Care services will soon be offered. The Colonies, the assisted living section of Windsor, will remain intact.
However, expansion of The Colonies is projected in the next 2 to 3 years.
While the facility has been private pay since its inception in 1961, following the opening of the new building, Windsor will be offering Medicare skilled services.
Windsor's owner since 1999, Thomas R. Swallen, is committed to maintaining the facility's outstanding reputation regarding the close, personal relationships he & his
staff establish with the residents and their families. Taking on Medicare skilled services will NOT diminish our commitment to provide the superior care that we are known
for, to be topped only by our genuine love and support of the residents and their families.
Mr. Swallen and the entire staff of Windsor Medical Center are thrilled to be able to grow the facility at this time. He expects the project to be completed by January 2013.
He also plans on taking some new approaches to developing and executing innovative ideas, not only to benefit the residents but also the staff. Windsor Medical Center is very
appreciative of the support we have always received from the community and we look forward to improving our ability to further serve the needs of people throughout Stark County.
