A couple of weeks ago I bought a brand new Apple tv, solely for the use of airplay with my wifes iphone 4 and my ipod touch. We have been having problems with the phone and the ipod with the airplay symbol disappearing. I've done many google searches and it seems LOTS of people have this problem, but I can't seem to find a straightforward fix.
This is what I have done to troubleshoot the issue.
Vodafone complete modem/router and all devices run on the same wifi network.
Updated Apple TV, and both phone and ipod run the latest ios. Router firmware also updated to the latest version.
Changed network authentication to mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK (As per suggestions on Apple website)
Changed WPA encryption to TKIP+AES (As per suggestions on Apple website)
Rebooted Everything including the router many times.
Home sharing on Itunes is turned on
Its driving me nuts that it works last night for example, but today no matter how many times I restart the ipod or iphone it wont work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Taking care of color-treated, curly hair is even more difficult than taking care of hair that is one or the other. But it doesn't have to be a task, if you look to specialized products to help you. Color-treated hair that isn't properly cared for can look unhealthy, dry and dull. The chemicals used in coloring your hair may damage your hair, which can leave broken ends, leaving the hair fragile and rough. You can use moisturizers to help re-hydrate your hair, and use products that are made specifically for hair that is color-treated. Products like these will help your hair without taking out any of the color.
The DevaCurl DevaFuser Kit is a great new way to dry your color-treated, curly hair and keep the temperature consistent through the whole drying process, which results in more even and healthy curls. The diffuser itself is shaped like a hand, to create shinier, softer, frizz-free hair, by using air flow that radiates 360 degrees, to dry all your curls inside and out. The DevaCurl DevaFuser Kit has a DevaFuser that features a design that's ergonomic, and it happens to be the first innovation in diffusers in sixty years or so. It dries your hair quickly, and is light-weight, so that it's comfortable to use. It will help to eliminate frizz, too! The kit includes a universal adapter, which means it can fit 99% of all hair dryer types, and it comes with a handy instruction guide.

Permanent Hair Straightening - Brazilian vs Yuko vs Opti-Smooth
Hair is big business, particularly in the African American community, where hair types and styles are so versatile: Short, long, curly, wavy, kinky, straight, natural, braided, twisted, locked, color treated, texturized, and relaxed.
Regardless of one's hair type or preferred style; including weaves and extensions, proper basic care is essential for healthy African American hair:
- Strong hair that does not easily break.
- Hair that grows--Hair growth and hair length are not necessarily synonymous. Everyone's hair has different growth cycles. The life span of some individuals' hair is approximately one year, before new hair pushes out the existing. This results in around six inches of length. Other individuals' hair has the life span of several years, resulting in length well over two feet!
- Hair that has sheen.
- A healthy, clean scalp.
To obtain a healthy head of African American hair, as described above, basic care is necessary, and includes:
1. Proper diet and exercise.
2. Thorough shampooing and conditioning.
3. Efficient moisturizing.
Proper Diet and Exercise
As cliched as it sounds, proper diet and exercise are the gateway for many desirable traits, such as proportioned weight, high energy level, nice skin, etc. Proper nutrition and exercise are often over looked when it comes to care of the tresses because so many cosmetic and chemical options are available to obtain a certain look.
Efficient Moisturizing
Most African American hair types do not produce the amount of natural moisturizer found in other hair types. Therefore, it is necessary for many African Americans to regularly moisturize their tresses. Like with shampooing and conditioning, the amount of moisturizer depends on several factors, including hair type and style. Additionally, the type of moisturizer plays a big role in contributing to healthy African American hair. Some African American hair styles and types thrive when an oil moisturizer is used. Other African American styles and types respond better with cream moisturizers. Still, others do better with lotions or pomades. Again, a licensed professional is the best source for recommending a moisturizer for one's particular type and style.
Regardless of how you wear your hair, invest time in exercising, meal planning, and the proper hair care regiment; including a schedule of shampooing, conditioning, and moisturizing. Healthy hair is a reflection of one's overall health, in addition to looking good!

Heart Valve Awareness: Seek Clarity About Your Risks
The good news about valve-related issues is that most people who get treatment are able to recover and continue to live full and healthy lives. People like Former President Clinton, David Letterman, Barbara Walters and Arnold Schwarzenegger have been open about their heart valve repairs and recoveries.
What if my doctor says I don't need treatment now but that I may need it later?
Anyone with a congenital heart defect such as a bicuspid valve, a prolapsed or leaky valve, mitral valve prolapse, a stiffened valve, a previous heart valve surgery, and some people with heart murmurs should faithfully schedule and attend all recommended follow-up appointments so that the condition can be monitored.
When a valve has problems, a healthcare professional will need to carefully track the outflow of blood, possible damage to the other heart chambers and blood vessels, any symptoms you may notice and the pressure around the valve.
Seek Clarity About Your Potential for Risks
If you have a potential heart valve problem or a repaired or replaced heart valve, be sure you clearly communicate with your medical professional to get answers to the following questions:
- Do I have any restrictions regarding exercise and how long should I keep my heart rate elevated?
- Should I pay careful attention to how high my heart rate climbs during exercise?
- What symptoms should I be sure to document if I notice them?
- Are there any types of medical emergencies for which I am at higher risk because of my valve problem?
- How important is regular follow up care for this condition?
- How often should I be rechecked?
- Do I need to keep track of my own scheduling or does your office help me remember when I am due for my next appointment?
Download and print this patient guide: English (PDF) | Spanish (PDF)
If your valve problems remain manageable without causing damage to your heart or noticeable symptoms, your medical professional may feel that it's working "well enough" and may advise there is little cause for concern and to focus on healthy lifestyle choices. You and your healthcare professional may decide that your best option is to keep the valve you have and continue to monitor your condition.
However, if you begin noticing symptoms such as chest pain or discomfort, lightheadedness, feeling faint, or noticing that you are short of breath, your heart valve function may be getting worse. If your heart is having to work harder than it should, it may be time to consider your replacement and repair options.
Your medical professional will help you determine the best option for you.

Swash the World
Hey guys. I'm a professional poker player and I've decided that I want to go all out and work on a blog. This blog is about my life - the things I do: eat, travel, drink, shoot photos - all from the perspective of a 24 year old poker player (my occupation). I eat and travel all over the world while making money at the sound of a click. I have a bold personality. I tell it like it is and I hold very little back. Honesty and integrity are two virtues I hold very dear. I've got a unique personality and I want to share my views on what I've come across.
I'm a Korean American with red hair. I play poker, shoot photos, eat decadent meals, and I love to have fun. I'm not your ordinary guy and I'd love for this blog to show that. The blogs will be more on the raw and immature side but I will be writing articles on there as well for poker tips and restaurant as well as country reviews.
Swash comes from the word swashbuckler: a swaggering swordsman, soldier, or adventurer; daredevil.
I have a carpe diem attitude towards life. I hope to capture this in the blog. Our lives are too short, we have to live our life to the fullest, daringly, confidently, without fail.
I think it's very important to capture that quality, the almost pirate-like attitude. I eat what I want, drink what I want, do what I want. And most importantly, I love doing it all.
Poker players - Some professional poker players will be reading the blog so they'll have a lot to relate to but really it's the:
Travelers and foodies I want to attract. I've been to a lot of places and when I travel, I don't bother with that nonsense group tour crap. I'm all about seeing the country for what it is, hanging w/the locals, eating their food, not some bullshit course or experience designed for foreigners.
This isn't about prestige or pretentiousness. It's about reporting the truth on countries and restaurants, giving solid recommendations on both, and writing professional trip reports so that eventually I'll have a solid database of what to do and what not to dos.
I'm definitely targeting the younger crowd, the 18-25 year olds who have the time, energy, and PASSION to do all this.
I want something edgy but simple and clean. This website and logo needs to represent a fearless pursuit of adventure. Feel free to have some fun with it. I plan on taking a sometimes professional approach as well as an amateur approach.
Logo needs to be in a wide format.
While poker is an interesting aspect of my life, I actually think it's the least important aspects of the three (food, travel, poker).
Good luck guys!

This turned out to be a nice event, better venue than last year. Well organized is always appreciated even at free events. Kudos to Keith & Keith at VisualGov for a first class job.
Brian, Chris, and I did our presentations on Sat and all went pretty well, we gave away a bunch of books and coffee mugs mostly to make some room in my office! Only downside was that because we were either presenting or manning the End to End Table there wasn't much time to enjoy the other sessions. Had a chance to talk with the facility AV guy to ask about their projectors (because they seemed kinda large), said they were 5000 lumen projectors that ran about $7500 each. We use a 2000 lumen projector in our classroom and once in a while I look up at the wrong moment and it about blinds me, not sure anyone needs 5000 lumens. And we still had to dim the lights to make everyone happy.

Environmental concerns have been raised about a plan to allow billboards up to 65 feet tall along some Texas highways.
The Texas Transportation Commission heard public testimony Tuesday in Austin, with written comments accepted through July 14. The panel by August is expected to decide on whether to adjust the current 42.5-feet height restriction.
The Austin American-Statesman reports the Texas Department of Transportation has proposed the change, which is supported by advertising companies, as part of an overhaul of billboard rules.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Katherine Romans, who manages landowner outreach for the Hill Country Alliance, says people don't need more billboards or taller billboards. The group supports protecting natural resources.
Billy Reagan with Reagan Outdoor Advertising says taller signs are needed because the speed of travel has increased and highways have expanded.

*Camilla Nylund (soprano)
Bamberg Symphony Orchestra/Jonathan Nott
rec. Konzerthall Bamberg, 12-15, 14-25 September 2012
Are we looking at a new chapter in the history of singing Wagners heroic tenor parts? asks Jürgen Kesting in the booklet note to this new issue excitedly. He then gets straight to the crux of the question: What exactly is a heroic tenor?. In his 1949 book Wagner Nights Ernest Newman gave a rather discouraging answer, referring to some amphora Heldentenor who looks and behaves like an overgrown Boy Scout, and gives the spectator the impression of a man whose mental development was arrested at the age of twelve and has been in custody ever since. To make his scorn even more evident, he adds in a footnote a definition of an amphora: a two-handled, big-bellied vessel, usually of clay, with a longish or shortish neck and a mouth apportioned to the size.
Well, Klaus-Florian Vogt, slim and handsome, is certainly no Heldentenor in Newmans amphora sense, and he is certainly not an unintelligent singer; but is he a tenor suited to Wagners heroic parts? Many of those who have succeeded in this repertoire have been baritones who have converted to the upper range, and retain to a greater or lesser degree their original baritonal timbre. They have been assisted by Wagners often surprising reluctance to exploit the upper reaches of the tenor register there are two high Cs for Siegfried and one for Walther, none of them sustained or even really essential, and none at all in the parts of Tristan, Parsifal, Siegmund or any of Wagners earlier works. These baritonal heroic tenors however come to grief when they have to tackle operas by Strauss or Korngold, which require the same type of voice but where the higher notes are freely employed. There have also been some natural tenors who have the strength and force to ride over Wagners sometimes turbulent orchestra. These are usually big-voiced lyric tenors who have the stamina to extend their voices further; one thinks of singers like Jess Thomas, Alberto Remedios or René Kollo, all of whom pioneered the employment of this kind of voice in parts such as Siegfried or Tristan - Plácido Domingo is really a combination of both types.
It seems that Klaus-Florian Vogt is being viewed as a descendant of this latter species of Heldentenor, using a basically lighter voice than usual in Wagnerian roles generally regarded as the preserve of more heavyweight singers - in all senses of the word. His voice is however of a different kind from those cited in the last paragraph. It is significant that the eleven tracks on this CD are all of the lighter passages in the roles of Siegfried and Tristan, and only the two sections of Siegmund which we are given here really fall within the full-scale Wagnerian fach. These are bleeding chunks of Wagner indeed; only one of these eleven tracks ends in the manner which Wagner prescribed rather than tailing away as the music moves on.
Vogt has made his reputation in the title role of Lohengrin, where his silvery timbre is appropriate to the other-worldly nature of the swan knight; but as I pointed out in my review of his Bayreuth stage performance enshrined on DVD last year (review) he is severely stretched by the more strenuously dramatic portions of the role. We are here only given his farewell Mein lieber schwan which gives the best impression of his assumption of the role, with a beautifully floated opening but a lack of sheer heft in the later stages.
He is shortly to undertake Parsifal at Bayreuth, but again he is less impressive in the highly dramatic Amfortas! Die Wunde! than in the more sheerly lyrical final Nur eine Waffe taugt. I wish tenors would not allow the music to fade away at the last line; Wagner as usual gives no indication of dynamics to his singer, but the word Schrein! should surely be delivered as a ringing instruction rather than be subjected to a melting diminuendo to match the underlying orchestration. I think that René Kollo was the first tenor in his recording for Solti to do this. Actually Vogt matches Kollo is some other respects too, as a lyric tenor stretching himself into heavier Wagnerian roles, although his voice seems naturally smaller than Kollos; but even from a fairly early stage in his career Kollos voice suffered from the transition, firstlybecoming more acidic in tone and later acquiring a disastrous wobble. Vogt must be extremely careful not to allow himself to make a similar mistake.
In the two extracts from Die Meistersinger - for some peculiar reason given here in the wrong order - he shows other similarities to Kollo, but one cannot imagine this voice soaring above the ensemble in the final verse of Fanget an! (omitted here) any more than Kollo was able to do. Similarly in the extracts from Die Walküre the voice lacks the heroic ring needed at the climactic moments, and it seems perverse to omit the spring song preceding Du bist der Lenz which one would have thought fitted Vogts voice perfectly. Camilla Nylund is quite impressive in the latter scene, as she is in the opening of the love duet from Tristan which is however spoilt by a most unconvincing ending which tails away into a brief extract from Brangaenes warning before halting abruptly.
The best tracks here come with the extracts from the two early operas. In the prayer from Rienzi Vogt is very good indeed, with the flexibility to manoeuvre his way around the sometimes delicate filigree of the vocal writing; but in Eriks sugary cavatina from Der fliegende Holländer the tempo is simply too fast. Wagner himself declared: Whoever sings Eriks cavatina
in sugary style does me a sad disservice; it ought to breathe sorrow and affliction. Well, Vogt is not sugary in style, but at this speed there is little sense of sorrow and affliction just a nice lyrical tenor going through the motions. It is a pity that we are given none of Tannhäuser here Vogt might have shown strain in the Rome narration but it would have been enjoyable to hear his version of the hymn to Venus which so often taxes more beefy tenors with its delicate writing.
Jonathan Nott faithfully followsthe dictates of the music in these small-scale performances, and the orchestra plays well for him; but his only original touch is the introduction of an unmarked accelerando in the closing bars of the First Act of Die Walküre which reduces the already excited orchestra to a gabble. This is the only extract on this disc which actually ends as Wagner indicated; everywhere else except in Rienzi the music simply fades out or ends inconclusively as the orchestra drifts away into the music that Wagner intended to follow.
It should be noted that in his recent review of Jonas Kaufmanns Wagner recital my colleague Jim Pritchard took a diametrically opposed view of the nature of a heroic tenor, lauding Vogts clear tenor at the expense of Kaufmanns more baritonal resonance. I agree that Kaufmanns voice has a very low-lying feel to it, but this is surely preferable to the sound of too small a voice however sweetly produced pushing at the limits of its dramatic capabilities. One hopes that Vogt will not be tempted into the heavier reaches of the Wagnerian repertory, when one does indeed need a truly heroic tenor however that may be defined.

I'm CEO of a Solvik/Sigma company and, just to clarify, Sigma did not ask me to post this remark. Pete's a great board member and investor. He's smart and experienced on the business side. But, more than that, he's a regular guy with a human side to him. I've worked with dozens of VCs inside multiple companies and he's at the top of the list.
His experience as an operator makes him extremely insightful and "calm in the pocket"... he rides out the highs and lows really well.PRIVATE: Members Only (626 Characters)

When we launched this website back in June, I welcomed readers with a promise that Genomes Unzipped would "ultimately be much more than just a group blog". Indeed, the last four months of blogging have really just been a prelude of sorts to what comes next: the real Genomes Unzipped.
Today we're launching an exciting new phase of the project. Although we're not entirely sure where this journey will take us, we're looking forward to finding out – and to bringing you along with us.
What are we doing?
Over the last year, all the members of Genomes Unzipped have had genome scans performed by personal genomics company 23andMe; several of us have also had additional tests done by other genetic testing companies (Counsyl, deCODEme). From today, we'll be making all of our raw genetic data and the reports generated from these tests freely available online. As the project proceeds, we aim to obtain data from an ever larger array of tests – ultimately extending to whole-genome sequencing – and release it openly. Right now you can freely download the 23andMe data from everyone in the project from this website.
Over the next few weeks, each of the members will be writing about their own experiences with genetic testing, and what they've learnt from their own genetic data. We'll be discussing analyses we've performed on our own raw data, using software written both by group members and other collaborators; and we'll be releasing the code for that software in our new code repository. We'll also be talking about the process of deciding to release our genetic data publicly, and how we discussed this decision with our families.
To make it easier for us (and you) to explore our genomes, we have assembled a custom genome browser using JBrowse – this provides a visual interface that allows our 23andMe (and later, complete sequence) data to be viewed in the context of genes and other features. It's still in prototype form, but we'll be refining it and adding more data as the project proceeds.
Why are we doing this?
When I first started thinking about a new group blog back in late 2009, the idea was fairly simple: put together a group of people who were experts in fields related to personal genomics, help them get access to their own genetic data, and create a platform for them to talk about what they found. I quickly joined forces with Luke and we refined the idea further.
As we discussed the notion of a group of experts analysing their own genomes, one thing rapidly became clear: for maximum public benefit the analyses had to be open and reproducible, and that meant making the underlying data public. In other words, for this to work, members of the group had to be ready to spill their genetic secrets to the world.
In September 2009 I had an opportunity to purchase a sizeable number of kits from one testing company (23andMe) at a discount, and quickly contacted a group of the smartest people I knew in genomics – all initially based in the Cambridge area – to take advantage of the offer. Thus the project was born; fittingly, our first meeting was held over pints of ale in The Eagle, the pub frequented by Watson and Crick during their early work on the structure of DNA.
Initially there was some discussion about various models for partial anonymity – not linking people's names to their data, or allowing people to write under a pseudonym, for instance. However, given there was no way for us to guarantee that we could protect the identity of the participants once their data were released, we decided that the only viable solution was for members to write under their own full names from the outset, and to have their genetic data transparently linked to their identity.
Remarkably, despite being given every opportunity to change their minds, nearly everyone I approached to join the group still decided to go ahead with the decision to share their genetic data online. We all made that decision for a variety of reasons, but there are some common threads:
- we want to share the results of scientific analysis of our own genomes, and as proponents of open data access most of us believe that doing good science means releasing complete data for others to investigate;
- we hope that releasing our data publicly will help to guide useful discussions about genetic privacy and the benefits, risks and limitations of genetic information in general;
- some of us believe that large open-access, non-anonymous research databases such as the Personal Genome Project represent an ideal resource for genetic research, and that sharing genetic information with the scientific community is a public good – and we hope that our own experiences will spark discussion about the risks and benefits of open research projects;
- we all believe that many of the fears expressed about the dangers of genetic information are exaggerated, and see this project as an opportunity to have a constructive public discussion about the truth behind these fears;
- given the ease with which a dedicated snoop could obtain genetic information surreptitiously (via shed skin, hair or saliva, for instance), some of us argue that the whole notion of genetic privacy is illusory anyway – while releasing our data online makes it easier for people to get hold of it, this is a difference of degree rather than kind.
What about the risks?
We're going into this process with our eyes wide open. Everyone in the group has a sound background knowledge of genetics: we know the sorts of things that can be found in a genome, and what such discoveries can mean for individuals and their families. However, like others willing to share their genetic data – such as the participants in the Personal Genome Project (PGP) – we simply feel that the potential benefits of this project outweigh its potential harms.
To ensure that everyone in the group is making a fully informed decision, we've put together a lengthy informed consent document (PDF; modified from the consent forms used for the PGP) that lays out the risks and issues involved in disclosing genetic information publicly. This document explains exactly what we're putting on the line here: anyone in the world can now access our genetic data and infer information about our disease risks and our genetic relationships with other people, and it's possible to imagine all sorts of ways in which that knowledge could be abused.
It also explains that these risks could also apply to our families: our published data could be used, for instance, to infer the risk of serious disease in our parents, siblings or children. We have encouraged all of the members of the project to discuss these issues with their first-degree relatives to ensure they are as fully aware of the potential risks as possible.
Finally, the document points out that there is the class of unknown unknowns: risks that no-one knows about yet. To the best of our ability, the members of the group have weighed up all of these uncertainties and decided to go ahead.
We can't fully predict what the future holds, but there are good reasons to be optimistic that the risks of disclosing genetic information will be minimal. As the passing of GINA in the US shows, in Western countries there is strong public opposition to the idea of unfair discrimination against individuals on the basis of genetic information. While this opposition hasn't yet been codified into law outside the US, there's every reason to expect that individuals who try to abuse genetic information will ultimately pay a high legal or social price.
As a group we expect that our genomes will be joined by many, many others in the public domain over the next few years. As the sheer power of open databases of genetic and medical data becomes clear, we anticipate that participating in such studies will be increasingly viewed as something of a moral imperative. Already there are over 10,000 individuals signed up for disclosure of their genetic data as part of the Personal Genomes Project, and that number is growing fast.
As we move towards a world where thousands of people release their genomes into the public domain, someone has to be the guinea pig. We take comfort from the fact that others have already paved the way for this project: Craig Venter, James Watson, and the members of the PGP-10, for instance. Like them, we feel we are well-equipped with the knowledge required to respond to any serious consequences that arise as a result of genetic disclosure. We hope that our experiences and those of other early disclosers will provide valuable lessons for those who follow.
What next?
Over the next few weeks we'll be discussing the ways in which we've peered into our own genetic data, and providing you with some of the tools and background knowledge you would need to do the same. You'll have a chance to ask questions to people who work with genetic information for a living about what they've gleaned from their own genomes.
Moving forward, we hope that we can use our own data as a resource for developing new tools for analysing personal genetic data. In addition to the data of core group members, pending further investigation into the legal and ethical obstacles, we plan to consider hosting data from others who are also willing to share their genomes. We will also be releasing the software for the analyses we perform here for others to use and modify, and will welcome submission of other people's programs to the GNZ code repository. Ultimately, we hope that we can become a hub for a diverse community of people interested in building and using tools for exploring their own DNA.
We will continue to explore the personal genomics marketplace, obtaining and reviewing new products and services as resources permit. For the time being we are a collection of like-minded individuals with limited funding (if you'd like to help remedy that, please let us know). Our commitment to openness extends to our relationships with personal genomics companies and with our funders: our disclosures page will contain full information about how we have obtained personal genomics products and services and from whom we have obtained funding.
We will also be posting invited commentary from external experts in genomics, bio-ethics, philosophy and law about the issues surrounding open genetic data release, and around genetic testing in general. And importantly, we'll be looking for help from you, our readers: by participating in discussion, suggesting new analyses, testing the software and resources we describe here, and contributing your own tools, you can help build the dynamic community we want this website to become.
This post is already pretty long, but I couldn't finish without broadcasting sincere thanks to a number of people for helping the project get to this stage.
Firstly, to all the members of Genomes Unzipped, most of all to Luke, who has worked tirelessly on every aspect of this project, and is almost single-handedly responsible for getting the website up and running; also particularly to Dan, who has made sure we steered clear of legal and ethical minefields and drafted the project's informed consent form; Kate, who worked hard on the project's internal site and designed the website banner; Caroline, always quick with practical feedback and advice; and my wife Ilana, for many hours of discussion about the project's goals and logistics, and for agreeing to contribute her own genetic data. Special thanks also to Joe for working with Luke on the genome browser.
Outside the project, we were fortunate to receive guidance from many wise individuals. We are extremely grateful to Zoe McDougall from Oxford Nanopore for her incredibly useful advice on many diverse topics over the last year. We are also indebted to Mark Henderson from the Times for many useful discussions, and to David Hooper from Reynolds Porter Chamberlain LLP and Alison Hall from the PHG Foundation for informal legal advice. We'd also like to thank the PHG Foundation for their generous grant of £600 to build and maintain the website.
Finally, thanks to the readers who've joined us over the last four months while we honed our blogging skills, sharpened up the website and prepared for phase 2. We've enjoyed the discussions we've had with you – and we look forward to even more fruitful discussion as the project moves into this new era.

I saw the car in Munich on Friday. Mostly impressed with the touchscreen, it's very unobtrusive yet very bright, both daymode and nightmode look great.
Just I noticed one small bug which is probably easy to fix: when I used the keyboard to type in the browser or navigation and then switched to another function (music for example), the keyboard stayed in place and masked the instrument panel at the bottom. I had to go back to the browser and move the cursor from the textfield manually to hide the keyboard and use the bottom controls. I knew what the problem was because I'm familiar with interface design but even the people working at the store didn't know how to fix it nor my co-driver. Not sure if this is already fixed in newer versions of the software..

Bullpen can't hold D-backs' early advantage
Trumbo, Parra shine on offense; Reed allows tiebreaking homer in ninth
PHOENIX -- Monday's home opener was a chance for a fresh start and new beginnings.
Unfortunately for the D-backs, an old bugaboo resurfaced as their bullpen gave up a four-run lead and the Giants rallied for a 9-8 win.
"You expect to close that game down and we didn't do it, we gave in to it," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said.
Buster Posey struck the winning blow in the ninth when he launched a two-out home run to left off Addison Reed. Miguel Montero hit a solo shot in the bottom of the inning to close the gap to a run before Sergio Romo locked down the save.
It was not the home debut Reed was looking for. The right-hander was acquired from the White Sox in exchange for third-base prospect Matt Davidson, and the D-backs are counting on him to bring stability to the closer's role.
Reed allowed a one-out single to Brandon Belt and struck out Pablo Sandoval before falling behind Posey, 1-0.
Reed tried to come in with a pitch but didn't get it where he wanted to, and Posey hit it deep into the bleachers.
"Terrible pitch, good swing," Reed said. "It was right over the middle of the plate; anybody is going to hit that a long way. I haven't gone back and looked at it, but missed my spot and he made me pay for it."
Said Posey, "I'd never faced [Reed] before, not even in Spring Training or anything. I was really just looking for a pitch, trying to get a pitch I could handle."
The game started much better than it ended for the D-backs as they gave the sellout crowd something to cheer about while they built a 7-3 lead through six innings.
At that point, all looked rosy for the D-backs as starter Brandon McCarthy followed up a stellar spring with a quality outing while offseason acquisition Mark Trumbo had three hits and outfielder Gerardo Parra showed he could hit lefties, driving home a pair of runs off Madison Bumgarner.
Then came the top of the seventh and one pitch that seemed to turn the tide.
McCarthy got two outs in the inning, but it was the third one that would prove elusive for him and a pair of relievers.
With two outs and a runner on first, McCarthy thought he had pinch-hitter Ehire Adrianza struck out on a 2-2 pitch, but it was ruled a ball. Adrianza then doubled home a run on the next pitch, spelling the end of the night for McCarthy.
"[Ticked] off," McCarthy said of his feeling after the game. "There was a call there in the seventh that changed the entire outlook of the game. Obviously we all have to execute after that point, but that's a juncture, that's a pitch that you're not rewarded for, so that kind of leaves a bitter taste. The next pitch was a 3-2 sinker down and away, and looking at it, it was right where I want it, and that's a credit to the young kid to stay on that and be able to hook that ball, but the pitch before ... no, I did have him struck out, it just didn't get called."
Left-hander Oliver Perez then allowed three straight hits and Brad Ziegler allowed a single and a walk with the bases loaded as the Giants scored four runs to tie the game.
"You know the Giants are resilient, they're going to come back on you, but we didn't have enough runs tonight," Gibson said. "We got to take this; it stings a bit, but we're going to have to regroup and come back tomorrow."
Last season, the D-backs bullpen blew 29 saves, which tied for most in the Majors, and the team made improving the relief corps a priority during the offseason, trading for Reed while signing Perez to a two-year free-agent deal.
"Absolutely," Reed said when asked if it was a disappointing way to start. "Especially when our offense kept us in the game the whole entire time and it got to me and things didn't work out as planned. Get ready and get after them tomorrow."
The D-backs are now 0-3 on the season, having dropped a pair of games to the Dodgers on March 22-23 in Sydney, Australia.

The high cost of veterinary care is always a constant worry of mine. I don't buy pet health insurance, but I always put a little bit away each month in case of emergency. Unfortunately, you never know when you might need it.
Last month my dogs' annual checkup gave way to a huge vet bill thanks to asymptomatic Lyme and Giardia, and an ear infection on top of that. Thank goodness everything was easily treatable, but all those tests and medication add up quickly! My bill easily topped $1,000 and it wasn't even an emergency!
According to a new survey from the Associated Press and Petside.com, I'm not the only one concerned about vet bills. Forty percent of pet lovers worry that they won't be able to afford care when it's needed.
The poll, which interviewed 1,112 people by phone, found that 62 percent would likely pay for $500 of pet health care. The number drops to 33 percent if the veterinary bill were to reach $2,000 and 22 percent if the cost were to reach $5,000.
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
Interestingly income didn't appear to influence feelings about how much to spend on veterinary care. I think this shows that our relationships with pets are truly priceless.
I do find it a bit shocking that 38 percent of those polled would not spend $500 in health care for their pet, given how easy it is to rack up a bill of that size (though I understand that some people simply can't afford it). Consumer Reports puts the average annual check-up at $140-340 (depending on the age of the pet). On the other hand I know plenty of people who fit into the 22 percent category, people who would eat Ramen noodles in order to afford their dog's health care. And this predicament will only become more common as more advanced veterinary technologies are developed.
My pets are part of the family and I'd definitely want to do everything I could do to help them live as long and comfortably as possible. Realistically there are financial limits, but I don't know what that limit is for me. I just can't imagine putting a hard number of my pets' health.
Do you have a financial limit on pet health care?

Hello. Of late I've noticed that Model 64 and 65 police trade-in's are showing up on the market. In my early years of policing, 4" DA revolvers in either .38 Special or .357 Magnum were the choices and though semiautomatics have pretty much filled police holsters today, I never felt undergunned with the old revolver. Do not misunderstand; I appreciate and use the autoloader a great deal and remain especially fond of the 9mm Hi Power and .45's in the 1911 pattern, but believe that a slick DA revolver remains a viable defensive tool and for me, just a heck of a lot of fun to shoot, something that rates very highly.
A while back, I bought a NIB S&W Model 64-1 from friend at a fair price. It appeared to be nothing special but did have a very nice DA out of the box. The single-action is typical, light and crisp. I hoped that the fixed sights were "on" and as it turns out, I couldn't be happier in that regard; with either 158-gr. hard cast SWC's handloaded to just under 900 ft/sec or with my preferred "serious" load (Remington 158-gr. LHP +P), the revolver puts them exactly to POA out to 15 yards and with a 6 O'-Clock hold it does the same at 25 yards.
All was not perfect, however. The cylinder would sometimes lock up. This was cured with a tiny bit of stoning of the hand by my gunsmith. It seems that the cylinder was trying to turn before the cylinder stop could lower. I removed a tiny burr in another location and cutting to the chase, the gun's run fine for roughly 600 rounds since and I believe the intial problem has been resolved.
None of my other S&W K-frames have exhibited this problem, but to me this serves as but another example that no gun should be assumed reliable until tested...regardless of the manufacturer.
The revolver is stock other than my sticking on an old pair of Uncle Mike rubber grips. Well, one "custom" touch was blackening the serrated ramp front sight with a black Sharpie.
Shooting: Shooting was done at 5, 7, 15 and 25 yards and all was done double-action. Ammunition used was handloaded 158-gr. cast SWC or CRN. Both of these hit right at the 900 ft/sec mark from this revolver and both are consistent, having extreme velocity spreads of no more than about 18 ft/sec.
5-Yards: At this close range, I decided to try Mr. Jim Higginbotham's "Standard Controllability Drill" which is 5 shots @ 5 yards in less than 2 seconds, starting from a low ready position.
All shots are to be within a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2" rectangle to pass. I did a slight variation on this and used my standard hand-draw "Gort" target with a similar sized dotted circular outlined area as the target.
A total of 30 shots were fired, or 6 runs of 5-shots each. Average time was 1.81 seconds with the highest time being 1.88 seconds. This seems to be about the best I can do DA so I reckon that Mr. Miculek has nothing to fear from me! Ammunition used was the 158-gr. CRN handload mentioned previously.
Some have stated that the handgun's purpose is self-protection and I fully agree that this is certainly one most important aspect of handgunning for most of us, but I still maintain that the purpose of my handguns are whatever I want it to be...within reason. I place high value on (usually) being able to hit what I aim at so this was about all of the "practical" shooting done.
The rest of the shooting today was done double-action.
7-Yards: This was not timed but was definitely slower than for the previous drill. The reason was two-fold, I wasn't intending to shoot quickly but mainly forgot to set the timer! I would estimate that roughly 1 sec/shot would be the cadence.
Two cylinders-full of the CSWC handload were fired standing and in double-action using a two-hand hold. The group here is nothing special as many revolver fans will attest; the purpose for me was to make sure that any "yanking" of the trigger was gone. I tend to do this more than I like when shooting at maximum speed (for me) and do all I can to make sure that it doesn't bleed over into all of my handgun shooting. This may or may not be a problem for others.
15 Yards: At this distance, essentially the same thing was done as at the 7-yd line.
Ammunition used was again the CSWC handload.
25-Yards: Here I did shoot using two-hands, but seated and with my wrists braced. Shooting was slow-fire and double-action.
20 shots were fired with absolutely no effort at speed. I estimate that roughly 3 seconds per shot would be pretty close to the actual cadence but I didn't pay any real attention to that. This is better than I normally shoot at this distance. Today was just an "on" day. I admit freely that I cannot do this on command on any given day.
(I had hoped to shoot some at 50 yards but that range was occupied by fellows trying to get their rifle scopes and POI's to match before moving to the longer 100 and 200 yard ranges.
As some "old timers" will recall, police handgun qualifications used to involve some shooting at this distance.)
Conclusion & Observations: Today's session reinforced my respect for the old Model 10 and its variants. On the several Model 10 and Model 64's I've owned over the decades, most were sighted in very well from the factory and all would at least hit very close to POA. I got lucky with this particular Model 64 in that as closely as I can tell, POA matches POI for me with the loads I will primarily use in this handgun.
There were no failures to fire nor sticky extraction; in short, the revolver ran perfectly. I regret that I didn't hang on the Model 10's, 64's and 65's I owned when they were common as the proverbial "hen's teeth."
This one is not for sale...at any sane price. I intend to keep it and shoot it quite a lot, something that can be done using the "honest" .38 Special handloads mentioned w/o fear of damaging the revolver. It may be "only" a .38 Special but for me, it will do 99% (or better) of what I expect from a side gun. Some may disagree and that's fine; shoot what you enjoy most and can hit best with. I'll continue with my 9mm's, .45's, and so forth, but as I get older, I find myself enjoying revolvers more and more and appreciate not having to chase brass for reloading.
Fouling on the muzzle was quite uniform, indicating that the crown was just fine as it came from the factory. Though intended as a service revolver, the Model 64 is capable of much greater mechanical accuracy than I can wring out of it.
Though I do not find them as comfortable as the Uncle Mike "Goodyear's", were I to carry this revolver concealed, I would likely use these Eagle Secret Service stocks. I see this revolver as a fun gun for the range or open carry when knocking around on a friend's ranch or in the woods.
If in the market for a .38 revolver for similar reasons, I'd take a real hard look at clean Model 10's or Model 64's, be they in the heavy bbl versions I own or the "pencil" barrels.
They'd been shooters in one form or another for roughly a century and have evidently met at least most users' expectations to have this sort of longevity.
Take a look and take a chance on one; I think that you might be very surprised and pleased.

Much of the frustration of fans and players during the ongoing NHL work stoppage / owners' lockout / "lack of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement" has been that while players have been entirely free to express their opinions and put their names to in-no-way-at-all-coordinated social media commentary on their league adversaries, the NHL's gag order on team executives leaves everyone in the dark about whether there is a split among owners or what Lou Lamoriello would put on his Instagram account.
As the NHL Board of Governors prepares to meet later this week in order to decide exactly what to select next from their vast menu of P.R. screw ups, little is known about many of the
Here is a brief snippet of information on these people, resulting from several months of investigative journalism (bolstered by 10-15 minutes skimming Wikipedia and bios on team websites):
Anaheim Ducks: Henry Samueli
After acquiring the team from the Walt Disney Company and changing its name from the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, to avoid being associated with a Mickey Mouse operation, Mr. Samueli is presumably recommending to the Board of Governors that the league in future be known as the National Hockey League of Mighty F***- ups for the reverse reason.
Boston Bruins: Jeremy M. Jacobs
Serving on the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board and described as "a leading advocate for tourism in the United States", Mr. Jacobs has been credited with the recent upsurge in visitors to destinations such as Providence, RI, Peoria, IL and Oklahoma City.
Buffalo Sabres: Terrence M. Pegula
After apparently telling his business partner in 1983: "If I ever have more than two nickels to my name, I'm going to buy the Buffalo Sabres one day", Mr. Pegula has now been reprimanded by Commisioner Bettman and his fellow Governors for giving the impression to players that NHL franchises could possibly be worth in excess of 11 cents.
Calgary Flames: N. Murray Edwards
Mr. Edwards employs over 15,000 people across numerous companies, with an impressive 11,500 of these not having been acquired in lopsided trades with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Carolina Hurricanes: Peter Karmanos Jr.
69 years old and of Greek descent, Mr. Karmanos is viewed with some suspicion by his fellow Governors, who only know him as "that Chelios guy".
Chicago Blackhawks: W. Rockwell "Rocky" Wirtz
Mr. Wirtz managed the Judge & Dolph Ltd liquor distributorship until October 2007, opting to step down thanks to the kindly suggestion of newly-drafted Patrick Kane that he could "handle it from here".
Colorado Avalanche: Josh Kroenke
Although Mr. Kroenke's father, Stan, is the owner of Kroenke Sports Enterprises, which includes the Avalanche as well as several other sports franchises, the Avalanche are in the name of Josh, to satisfy NFL ownership restrictions that forbid a team owner being dumb enough to also be an NHL owner.
Columbus Blue Jackets: John P. McConnell
Mr. McConnell is CEO of Worthington Industries, a company whose philosophy is "an unwavering commitment to the customer, and one of the strongest employee/employer partnerships in American industry" and majority owner of the Blue Jackets, whose philosophy isn't.
Dallas Stars: Tom Gaglardi
In talking about his organisation's teamworking philosophy, Mr. Gaglardi states that "We will all be pulling the same rope", said rope being the one used to pull Senior Adviser, Bob Gainey's hand away from the telephone when he's thinking about calling Glen Sather.
Detroit Red Wings: Mike Ilitch
Despite having little or no direct involvement in the team's achievements, each of Mr. Ilitch's seven children has his or her name engraved on the Stanley Cup, barely leaving any room for Chris Osgood's name.
Edmonton Oilers: Daryl Katz
After the empty threat to move his team and the stockpiling of successive lottery pick impact forwards, Mr. Katz is believed to be considering whether his next step is to add 1,723 NHL points to his resume or to just let Nail Yakupov live in his basement.
Florida Panthers: Cliff Viner
Mr. Viner is quoted as seeking three things when interviewing potential employees: "Character, character and character." Since this is clearly only one thing, it is believed the other two things are "willingness to accept an inflated salary to get my team above the salary floor and a large ticket-buying family".
Los Angeles Kings: Timothy J. Leiweke
As President and CEO of AEG, operators of over 100 entertainment and sporting venues, including Sprint Center (Kansas City, MO), Ahoy Arena (Rotterdam) and Wukesong Arena (Beijing), Mr. Leiweke is currently sharing with the Board his vast expertise at making money out of buildings with absolutely no hockey in them.
Minnesota Wild: Craig Leipold
Mr. Leipold "first was considered a potential owner or investor in the NBA ... He attributed this interest to the fact that he knew the sport of basketball well. He became interested in ownership of a professional ice hockey franchise because there were more opportunities than in basketball." It is unknown why Mr. Leipold has such an affinity with Commissioner Bettman.
Montreal Canadiens: Geoff Molson
A 40-year-old Twitter user, Mr. Molson's personal ambition is to someday be allowed by Jeremy Jacobs to speak at a Board meeting or to be allowed to get up to use the bathroom.
Nashville Predators: Joel Dobberpuhl
After turning down applications from Warren Woo, Thomas G. Cigarran, Christopher C. Cigarran, Herbert A. Fritch, DeWitt C. Thompson V and DeWitt C. Thompson VI in the belief they were fake names, the Board of Governors finally settled on accepting Mr. Dobberpuhl to be the representative of the Predators' ownership group.
New Jersey Devils: Lou Lamoriello
Despite the obvious differences in background, team-building philosophy and harmony with league officials, Mr. Lamoriello is understood to side with Rangers' owner James Dolan on financial issues during Board meetings, as both teams derive the majority of their revenue from the attendance of Rangers fans.
New York Islanders: Charles B. Wang
In his business career, Mr. Wang was involved in many acquisitions said to involve "the immediate termination of top management and key employees", two things which he hasn't had to worry about in his hockey ownership career for some reason.
New York Rangers: James L. Dolan
Universally popular with Rangers fans, Mr. Dolan has earned lavish praise for his personnel decisions, such as not hiring Isiah Thomas as Rangers G.M. and not hiring Isiah Thomas as Rangers coach.
Ottawa Senators: Eugene Melnyk
Mr. Melynk is a significant investor in biopharmaceutical research and development, as evidenced by the impressive $16m commitment to trial technology designed to keep Sergei Gonchar on the ice beyond his natural human capabilities.
Philadelphia Flyers: Ed Snider
Thanks to Mr. Snider's vision of "Take what you do well and grow it", the local economy continues to experience double-digit annual growth in the Horrific Goaltending and Hypocritical Long-Term Contract sectors.
Phoenix Coyotes: Nathaniel H. League
A reclusive owner, who hasn't been seen in public since June 2012.
Pittsburgh Penguins: David Morehouse
Mr. Morehouse is credited with increasing the Penguins' commercial success due to his emphasis on branding and marketing, concepts the NHL would love to capitalise on, stymied only by the league's failure to find a Penguins player to brand and market the absolute hell out of.
San Jose Sharks: Kevin Compton
Mr. Compton assumed the role of the Sharks' governor when fellow owner, Greg Jamison, became involved with a group looking to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes, but is due to relinquish the position back to Mr. Jamison when the Coyotes sale process finally falls through in the year 2435.
St. Louis Blues: Tom Stillman
As the newest member of the NHL Board of Governors, Mr. Stillman was recently subjected to a traumatic and lengthy rookie hazing ritual, by being forced to attend a meeting of the NHL Board of Governors.
Tampa Bay Lightning: Jeff Vinik
After becoming owner of the Lightning, Mr. Vinik pledged to construct a team of which fans would be proud "on and off the ice", and has taken under three years to fulfil both parts of that mission.
Toronto Maple Leafs: Larry Tanenbaum
Mr. Tanenbaum also serves as a Governor for the NBA's Toronto Raptors and MLS team, Toronto FC, thus gaining valuable insight from almost trebling his exposure to executives of sports teams more successful than his.
Vancouver Canucks: Francesco Aquilini
Mr. Aquilini is described as "both a starter and closer", making the number of Italian-Canadian starters associated with the Canucks two / one. [Delete as appropriate depending on whether you are reading before or after one minute past the end of the lockout]
Washington Capitals: Ted Leonsis
Mr. Leonsis also serves on the board of directors of Groupon, though his ideas about making offers involving ridiculous discounts with several unattractive conditions attached are understood to be thought of as "extreme and unrealistic" by the Groupon board.
Winnipeg Jets: Mark Chipman
Long before re-locating the NHL's Atlanta Thrashers, Mr. Chipman and his ownership group moved the Moose from Minnesota to Manitoba, the remainder of his vast fortune in the Canadian logistics industry presumably earned from delivering beavers to Saskatchewan, maple syrup to Nunavut and bags of milk to Don Cherry's Eskimo farm.

Lori Matassa and Max Domeika are the authors of Break Away with Intel Atom Processors: A Guide to Architecture Migration
The system firmware is a layer between the hardware and the operating system that maintains platform hardware data for the operating system. The system firmware is customized for the specific hardware requirements of the platform and perhaps for a given application. Traditionally, platforms based on Intel architecture boot in three steps:
- System firmware
- Operating system loader
- Operating system
As part of the power on self test (POST), the system firmware begins to execute out of flash memory to initialize all the necessary silicon components including the CPU itself and the memory subsystem. Once main memory is initialized, the system firmware is shadowed from ROM into RAM and the initialization continues. As part of the advanced initialization stages the system firmware creates tables of hardware information in main memory for the operating system to utilize during its installation, loading, and runtime execution. Hardware workarounds are often implemented during the power-on self-test (POST) to avoid changing silicon or hardware during later design phases. There may be an element of the system firmware that remains active during later stages to allow for responses to various operating system function calls.
The last task that the system firmware performs is a handoff of control to the operating system loader. The operating system loader does exactly what its name implies. It is customized with knowledge about the specific operating system, how it is ordered, and which blocks of the operating system to pull from the OS storage location. The operating system loader may be configured to extend the platform initialization beyond the system firmware's scope in order to allow for additional boot options. Depending on the system architecture and the firmware solutions that are adopted, the operating system loader and the system firmware could be part of the same binary.
The operating system completes the initialization of the hardware as it executes the software stack and device drivers. It potentially loads the human/machine interface and finally begins the applications. Care should be taken when considering combining elements of various components together as licenses may prohibit linking the objects together in various ways.
Boot Loaders for Closed Box Designs
Some embedded systems use minimized specialized (custom) firmware stacks created for fast speed, small size, and specific system requirements. These boot loaders perform static hardware configurations and only initialize critical hardware features prior to handoff to an operating system. They are tuned to a targeted OS, specific application, or function set, and support minimal upgrade and expansion capabilities.
QNX fastboot technology integrates system initialization into the QNX Neutrino RTOS, eliminating the need for BIOS or other boot loader. It was developed specifically for use in the QNX Neutrino RTOS, for Intel Atom processor Z5xx series platforms. Systems using QNX fastboot can achieve boot times of milliseconds while eliminating the BIOS royalty from their bill of materials. More information about QNX fastboot technology may be found here.
A custom boot loader may be developed for the Intel platform for architecture migrations where more time and effort is available and a do-it-yourself model is preferred. Developing your own boot loader requires a special set of software and hardware knowledge, and you'll need certain documents respective to the Intel architecture processor, chipset, motherboard, and other platform hardware. Additional information that will be needed includes operating system requirements, industry standards and exceptions, silicon-specific eccentricities beyond the standards, basic configuration, along with compiler and linker details, and software debug tools. Gather the appropriate documents at the start of the project.
Motherboard schematics are an absolute must. If the design is reusing an off-the-shelf solution from a vendor it could be more difficult to obtain the required information. In some cases confidential nondisclosure agreements (CNDAs) and perhaps restricted secret nondisclosure agreements (RSNDAs) with the various silicon vendors or motherboard vendors must be signed. The nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) will require some level of legal advice. Further, Memory Reference Code (MRC) requires an RSNDA agreement with Intel.
Intel Architecture System BIOS for Open Box Designs
A common requirement for open, expandable system designs is to provide the broadest possible system initialization solution, allowing the flexibility to load a wide range of off-the-shelf operating systems and methodical, dynamic hardware configurations. These designs will support multiple standard interfaces and expansion slots, and host mainstream operating systems with a broad set of pre-OS features and are ready to run multiple applications. On Intel architecture designs that require the flexibility, developers can choose from vendor-provided firmware.
The legacy Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) initializes the hardware and boots it to a point where the operating system can load, and it also abstracts the hardware from the operating system through various industry standard tables (ACPI, SMBIOS, IRQ routing, memory maps, and so on). Access to the hardware is directly made through silicon-specific BIOS commands or industry standards interfaces. Intel architecture has commonly used BIOS for over 25 years to support designs with multiple use cases, customizable services, multiple boot paths, native operating systems, or that are rich in features. BIOS is a common choice for legacy Intel architecture software design support. Major BIOS vendors include:
- American Megatrends Inc.
- Insyde Software Corp.
- Phoenix Technologies, Ltd.
- Nanjing Byosoft Co.,Ltd.
Talking to a BIOS vendor is a great idea when the situation demands ready solutions and the return on investment merits the costs. The BIOS solution provides everything needed to get the system initialized and to a successful production cycle. Obtaining starter code from a BIOS vendor normally requires various levels of licenses and agreements for evaluation, production, and follow-on support. Additionally, a commercial BIOS usually includes a varying amount of nonrecurring engineering (NRE), and/or royalties per unit or subscription costs.
Many successful and established computer OEM development teams utilize BIOS vendors to provide a base level of software core competency, basic OS support, tools, and on-call support. Smaller companies can take advantage of BIOS starter kits, which consists of a lesser number of features and limited support.

NEW YORK — A $1 million government grant will help homeless gay youths in New York state who've had run-ins with the law get their lives on track.
The money from the state Department of Labor will fund job training and education.
Carl Siciliano leads the Ali Forney Center in Harlem that takes in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people who end up on the street. Siciliano says many of them are kicked out of their homes by families who don't accept them.
And some end up in trouble, trying to survive through drugs and prostitution.
The money will pay for them to instead finish school and learn job skills.
The $1 million grant is shared by three organizations: Ali Forney, the Hetrick-Martin Institute and the NYC LGBT Center.

SKF launches bearing for extreme temperatures
2013 mayo 13, 13:00 CEST
SKF extreme temperature bearings operate at 350°C without relubrication
SKF today announces the new offer of SKF extreme temperature bearings, featuring a graphite cage that lubricates the bearing up to 350°C without the need for relubrication. This offers an especially powerful solution in the metal industry, where operators can cut maintenance costs, boost reliability and improve product quality by replacing conventional grease lubricated bearings with the SKF extreme temperature bearings. The extreme temperature bearing is included in the SKF BeyondZero* portfolio.
"SKF extreme temperature bearings address the need for bearings that can perform in hot, dry environments on slow rotating machinery. Grease lubricated bearings often fail at temperatures exceeding 250°C because even special greases lose their ability to lubricate adequately above this temperature. In contrast, SKF extreme temperature bearings require no relubrication and can operate in temperatures up to 350°C, cutting the cost and maintenance demand of relubrication and offering a significant increase in bearing service life," says Charlotte Enlund, Product Manager SKF dry lubricated bearings.
Experience in the field shows that bearing service life in high temperature applications can be dramatically increased by using graphite lubricated extreme temperature bearings. For example, in a cooling bed for sheet metal manufacture, bearing service life was increased by a factor of three. In such an application asingle bearing of this kind can save up to 4,6 kg ofCO2and 1,5kg of grease per year.Acooling bed, equipped with 5000 bearings can save 7,5 tonnes of grease and 23 tonnes of CO2per year, which isequivalent to an 82 percent reduction of the climate impact compared to using grease-lubricated deep groove ball bearings.These calculations are based on both bearing and grease savings.
*The SKF BeyondZero product portfolio contains products that offer enhanced environmental performance characteristics. To be included in the SKF BeyondZero portfolio, SKF products, services and solutions must deliver significant environmental benefits.

The Melissa Garden – a honeybee sanctuary (Healdsburg, CA)
"The "Weissenseifener Haengekorb" was designed by the german sculptor Guenther Mancke. The form and shape of the hive is created according to natural/wild bee hives. The design would like to reflect the oneness of the colony – what is called the "Bien". The "Bien" describes the animal with a thousand body parts (individual bees). The "Bien" is an organic interpretation of an individual (Tautz). Already through his outer shape it reveals it's nature– as if the egg shaped skep would be the outer shell or skin of this living being. The inner shape allows the "bien" to unfold it's own natural gestalt, in harmony with it's instinctual life forces."

Elements Of Style
Fashion Friday: French Blend
Here in America I think we idolize the French for their style- there are so many books on how to get that perfectly disheveled, cool and luminous look that French women seem to have naturally. I do know two things though- 1) there ARE hot messes in France, not every girl looks perfect 2) it doesn't come naturally, they work at it. The commandments of French style and beauty seems to be to invest in the best basics and wear them often, spend time and money on your skin so you have to wear less makeup (I plan to embody this for 2014), don't try to make everything perfect, leave a little bit off (slightly messy hair with a Chanel jacket or short, unpolished nails with a gorgeous silk blouse) and of course, when in doubt, simple is best. I think attitude is important too in French style. In my jaunts to Paris I always am amazed at how much less STRESSED everyone seems. No one storms around with to go Starbucks cups, they sit and savor their coffees and espressos in cafes like civilized people! Stress makes us look haggard (remember Cameron Diaz's rant in The Holiday?) and the French really seem to embrace a balance in life. Not in the "kumbaya" way but in the "I'll have some wine and cheese and then walk two miles home through the city " way.
So here's some French style eye candy- fashion and a few interiors too- that make me absolutely swoon. Simplicity, lots of black, a mix of new and old and a heap of coolness and relaxed enjoyment. I want THIS to be my look in 2014.
