This infographic from sporting goods megastore REI—visiting the one in Denver was like going to Six Flags—isn't just amusing, it's in fact helpful. I never knew how to properly use a signal mirror before now. (Yes, I was a Boy Scout. No, I was not a good one. My only merit badge came for surviving the explosion of a can of beefaroni that some idiot Webelo pushed into the middle of a fire.)
Where the hell was I? Oh yes, the signal mirror. Don't forget the frying pan (a weapon in Left 4 Dead 2—eighteen hits from it kills a tank on expert difficulty.) The key there is to not drop your shoulders as you start your swing. Do this by visualizing swinging over the
ball zombie's head, in a slightly downward motion. To season your frying pan, fill it with vegetable oil and place it in a 350-degree oven for about an hour.

In the US today, only about 80 out of more than 2,900 four-year colleges or universities offer a curriculum in sales, yet 50% of graduates from these schools end up in a sales career. How is this fact relevant to those of us in information technology? Well, many tech pros in the corporate world find themselves woefully undertrained in the essential skill of knowing how to sell an idea or a project effectively.
One downside of the fact that sales is not commonly taught in college is the widely held perception that selling isn't a real discipline, the way IT, engineering, marketing, or finance are. It surely doesn't take training, education, or practice to sell something, right?
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Consider the CIO who needs to sell the board of directors on funding for a critical strategic technology initiative. The CIO must explain why this initiative is important, anticipate potential objections, and hope to persuade and guide the board to a favorable decision. And that's only a simplistic view. The CIO's initiative will compete for resources with other high-priority investments, and some sponsors of these initiatives may have direct personal ties to certain board members. Competing projects may have been previously promised to shareholders or employees.
[What makes a great IT leader? Read 3 Underappreciated IT Leadership Skills.]
Understanding the complete picture and having a strategy to address all aspects of the proposed initiative -- both as an individual project and as it plays out against other alternatives on the table -- is critical if the CIO hopes to see his or her particular project get the go-ahead.
Remember, this isn't about you
Effective selling requires understanding that this decision isn't about you personally, nor is it about the overall IT function. Effective selling is about the other party -- in this example, the board and the individual board members.
The board wants the company to be successful and is looking for options from management as a means to this end. But they don't want to be "sold to" any more than any of us would. The most common misperception about effective selling is that it's about using tactics and skills to manipulate someone to adopt your point of view or support your project.
Effective selling is really about understanding what is important to a buyer and guiding that person or group down the path that gets them what's important to them. Both individual objectives (what matters to me personally) and corporate objectives (what is important to the company) are part of the decision. In the real world, most people make decisions based on what is best for them personally and then back into the corporate rationale.
Also critical to an effective outcome is that you are genuine and authentic in your approach. Effective selling involves transparency and intentionality -- the opposite of how pop culture often depicts salespeople.
The following questions may help guide you in thinking through your sales strategy. These questions work for a wide variety of situations, from recruiting a talented employee to negotiating a new assignment or convincing a board to fund a strategic initiative.
You'll gather the information you need from direct questioning, from observation, and from others who know the person or people you're approaching. Mastering the ability to sell effectively is a critical competence for every executive to add to his or her portfolio. Plus it's fun -- just remember that the goal is to help others get what they want.

Just because there'll be a slew of custom 2010 Ford Mustangs at SEMA doesn't mean the rest of Ford's lineup won't be represented. Some custom Taurus SHOs, Transit Connects, Fusions and Foci will also get the tuner-car treatment.
2010 Ford Taurus by Tommy Z Design
The Ford Taurus lends itself quite easily to the Superlux Youthful Styling and yet it remains sophisticated. Tommy Z embellished this great vehicle with his own classic VIP luxury style and components.
2010 Ford Taurus SHO by Mobsteel
The Ford Taurus SHO and Mobsteel are both committed to being anything but ordinary. So it's no surprise that the Taurus SHO by Mobsteel is one extraordinary vehicle. The trademark black-on-black Mobsteel paint job, custom fascias, and a host of trim touches and details give this 2010 Taurus SHO a tough menacing look, whether coming or going. And that's just the beginning, as this SHO has the goods both inside and out.
The bad boy rides on massive 22-inch Mobsteel forged two-piece wheels and super-low-profile Pirelli PZero Nero tires. A completely customized chassis with Air Runner front struts and Mobsteel adjustable rear air ride provide attitude to the max. The Magnaflow Performance cat-back exhaust and JL Audio equipment make this Taurus SHO sound as tough as it looks. (Ed. - We're actually really looking forward to this one and might try a visit to Mobsteel to take a spin.)
2010 Ford Taurus "Best of SHO" by MRT-Direct
MRT-Direct gives its signature classy touches to this Taurus SHO by adding subtle ground effect treatment, and a black cherry roof and custom vented hood. Increased performance is achieved through turbo system efficiencies, an exhaust upgrade, and wheel, tire and suspension modifications. The cabin is designed to be sporty and comfortable, while a Kicker sound system delivers the final beat.
2010 Ford Fusion Sport by Aaron Vaccar Signature Series
Young custom car designer Aaron Vaccar, most noted for his work with modern and sport compact vehicles, has taken his knowledge of next-generation styling and applied it to the new Ford Fusion Sport. Speed, style and sound – quite simply, this Fusion reveals that such a balance does exist in a sport-tuned street car. Upgraded with the thrills of a turbocharged motor, this Fusion now packs even more power to back up its stunning looks.
Noting that function needs to meet form, the entire audio and trunk enclosures have been designed to seamlessly integrate into the vehicle's styling and practicality. Tastefully mix the right combination of modifications, a bit of unique style combined with an already impressive platform, and what you get is this Aaron Vaccar Signature Series Fusion Sport.
2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid by M&J Enterprises
This Ford Fusion Hybrid by M&J Enterprises showcases a variety of eco-friendly accessories and aerodynamic parts. These range from air splitters to heat-reflective paint, window film and a vehicle data display. All items are either lighter in weight than the factory items, increase fuel economy or eliminate petroleum-based products. The data display helps increase the consumer's environmental awareness. The whole package delivers a desirable, eco-friendly Ford Fusion aimed at consumers who like to customize their vehicles and are concerned with environmental issues.
2010 Ford Fusion "T4" by MRT
This custom version of the fun, sporty, fuel-efficient Ford Fusion successfully combines the best of all worlds. MRT started with clever but subtle appearance changes to the exterior trim and paint. Next, they brought the same sport feel and style to the interior with revised seating and interior trim accents. The fun-to-drive factor is kicked up a notch with a single intercooled turbocharger and Street Performance coil-over suspension. To unleash the full potential of the awesome turbocharged powerplant, MRT skillfully exhaust-balanced the system with a high-performance stainless-steel Max-Flow™ h-pipe and back half exhaust system using the finest CNC Mandrel bend tube and high-flow components. The result is a system that delivers enhanced power and truly satisfying performance-car sound. Twenty-inch wheels and tires add a final touch to set off the look and give this Fusion an even smarter, sportier stance. On the inside, a kickin' audio system from Kicker provides the perfect balance of amped-up entertainment.
2010 Ford Transit Connect by Azentek and Grant Products
Azentek and Grant Products teamed up to build this unique "Travel Inn" Ford Transit Connect van. Designed for people who are always on the go, it comes complete with the Azentek in-vehicle computing and navigation radio, and a Concept DVD for watching movies. You can cook while tailgating with your mini pull-out kitchen and even sleep in complete comfort in the upper bunk bed. You also will drive in style with the Grant Products body kit, race-inspired steering wheel and GAC interior. The vehicle features 18-inch BBS wheels with a Winona PVD chrome finish and Bridgestone Firestone tires.
2010 Ford Transit Connect by Ford Vehicle Personalization
This 2010 Transit Connect was developed by the Ford Vehicle Personalization team and it features Genuine Ford Accessories, Ford Licensed Accessories and various personalization concepts. Inspired by West Coast beaches, the vehicle is presented in a soft anodized Metallic Gold exterior paint with a large energetic side graphic depicting young people playing sports and having fun on the beach. Various racks and carriers on the exterior secure your favorite outdoor gear.
The interior is the main focus of this custom Transit Connect, showcasing the flexibility of space in the cargo area and the ability to create a realm of personal use around this vehicle rather than strictly commercial/business usage. Shown with two seats, the cargo area will house an audio wall with a custom audio/video system, a skateboard rack displaying four skateboards and a rear-mounted LCD flip-out flat-screen monitor with video game console.
2010 Ford Edge "RallyE" by Santini Paint
Santini Paint, combined with the talent of Steve Stanford Design, has taken the Ford Edge crossover to a level of design utilizing influence from the old-school British racing era, tuner cars and a little rally car, so that this "soccer mom" grocery-getter becomes the "cool" car for the family. With a few inches out of the suspension, the big wheel and tire combination, 3dCarbon body kit, British Racing Green color and an asymmetrical competition stripe paint scheme with some interior accents added in, Santini's Ford Edge becomes a "Coolover."
2009 Ford Focus by FSWerks
In its constant search for more power, the FSWerks crew has taken a 2009 Ford Focus Coupe and pushed it to the edge. Utilizing many years of racing, fabricating and powertrain experience, this transformed Ford Focus is now pushing more than 500 horsepower, making it one serious track Focus.
2009 Ford Focus by Creations n' Chrome
Creations n' Chrome has taken green technology to the extreme with its 2009 Ford Focus. The exterior starts with an outrageous green chrome finish using Cosmichrome water-based spray-on plating technology, 3dCarbon Euro Series six-piece body kit and lightweight Work Emotion wheels. To increase engine efficiency and aerodynamics, an FSWerks turbo kit and H&R coil-over suspension are added. The interior was custom refinished from top to bottom with House of Color paint and custom Katzkin leather.
2010 Ford Flex by Falken Tire
Breaking the mold of cookie-cutter project vehicles on oversized chrome rims, Falken Tire has envisioned the perfect blend of traditional "lowrider" styling and a 2010 platform while utilizing today's finest full-size CUV, the Ford Flex. Rolling on 22-inch Falken S/TZ04 tires and wire- spoke Dayton wheels, this ride will surely earn the respect of everyone from old-school purists to new-age tuners. Break the mold and Flex Your Style.

It's hard to believe, but… its one year since I began this blog.
At first I was nervous, and posted, oh, once every two months or so. Big mistake. It's like everything else; the more you do it, the easier it becomes.
And what to post about? Nicholas Delaney, of course, and family history, but I didn't want to replicate what's already on the website. And I didn't want to just repeat what's in our book, A Rebel Hand: Nicholas Delaney of 1798. That would be dull for anyone who's already got it.
Then I realised this gave me the freedom to go farther and wider, and talk around the story. For instance, when I came across the mystery of my other great-great-great grandmother, Sarah Marshall, BBC TV's series Story if Ireland and finding the Who Do You Think You Are? clip where Graham Norton hears about his yeoman ancestor in Carnew.
Or to pick up inspiration from other bloggers, like Twigs of Yore's Australia Day challenge, West in New England's Great Genealogy Poetry Challenge or National Family History Week from the Australasian Federation of Family History Organisations. Geneabloggers has lots of inspirations, too.
I got busy on Facebook and I've recently started tweeting as @ARebelHand and joined Google+.
And I've got a huge amount to learn still.
But the most important thing I would like to find out is – what would you like to read more about?

"Robert Motherwell: Early Collages"
Time Out says
Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that events are still happening.
Although somewhat younger (and Waspier) than the Abstract Expressionists he associated with, Robert Motherwell was a noted figure of the New York School (a term that he, in fact, coined), thanks largely to his role in introducing his peers to "automatic" drawing—a concept he'd picked up from the Surrealists on his travels to Europe. Painterly free association, coupled with existentialism, thus became the linchpin of AbEx, though Motherwell's own work was defined more by formal stylishness than by sturm und drang. While Motherwell produced large canvases, the collages he created throughout his career were particularly beautiful and elegant. The Gugg offers a choice selection from the first decade of his output, during the years in which he helped lay the foundation for New York's art world ascendancy.

After several reader requests, we've decided to bring back a small dose of Weird Science every weekend. Enjoy!
It pays to accentuate the negative (at least for guys): Alternately, appearances matter. This study looked at the role of empathy for couples in committed relationships. One of the things it found was it's more important to look like you care than to get things right. In research jargon, that's "The perception of empathic effort by one's partner was more strongly linked with both men's and women's relationship satisfaction than empathic accuracy." There was a difference between the sexes: men were happiest when they connected with their partner's positive emotions, but women had the most satisfaction in their relationship when the guys accurately recognized their negative emotions. Sounds like a recipe for disappointment.
Daylight Savings wastes time: Lack of sleep is never good for productivity, but some researchers figured out a rather direct impact of weariness: people are more likely to "cyberloaf." The authors of the study monitored how much sleep people got and then, the next day, had them watch a boring online lecture. Each hour of interrupted sleep typically meant an extra 8.4 minutes spent surfing the web instead of watching the video. To see whether this behavior translated into the real world, the team looked at the last few years of Google search data and found the shift to daylight savings time (which cuts an hour out of sleep time) correlated with an increase in searches for topics related to entertainment.
Obvious result of the week: violent couples don't cooperate well. The study did answer an outstanding question: why, exactly, do parents who are violent towards each other do a bad job raising their kids? The answer, however, is absolutely no shock. Cooperative parenting, in which both partners work together to handle the child rearing, is more effective. These couples can't manage it. One result that did go against common wisdom: when the standard for violence is below what we associate with domestic abuse, women were violent more often than men.
Not all narcissists are created equal: Narcissism is not exactly a personality trait we associate with ethical behavior. But a survey of some business school students indicates that it interacts with other personality traits. The researchers stratified their participants according to religious beliefs, and found those skeptical of religion tended to have the lowest ethical standards. But being a narcissist didn't make matters any worse. In contrast, among both the nominally and devoutly religious, narcissistic tendencies dramatically reduced ethical tendencies.

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Chlophedianol is used to relieve dry, irritating coughs. This medicine should not be used when there is mucus or phlegm (pronounced flem) with the cough.
Chlophedianol relieves cough by acting on the cough center in the brain.
Chlophedianol is available without a doctor's prescription.
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
This medicine has been tested in children 2 years of age or older. In effective doses, the medicine has not been shown to cause different side effects or problems in children than it does in adults.
Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults or if they cause different side effects or problems in older people. There is no specific information comparing use of chlophedianol in the elderly with use in other age groups.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
Do not take liquids immediately after taking this medicine. To do so may decrease the soothing effect of the syrup.
Take this medicine only as directed. Do not take more of it and do not take it more often than your doctor ordered or the label directs you to take. To do so may increase the chance of side effects.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
If your cough has not improved after 7 days, or if you have a high fever, skin rash, or continuing headache with the cough, check with your doctor. These signs may mean that you have other medical problems.
This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that slow down the nervous system, possibly causing drowsiness). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for hay fever, other allergies, or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; prescription pain medicine or narcotics; barbiturates; medicine for seizures; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Check with your doctor before taking any of the above while you are taking this medicine.
This medicine may also add to the effects of CNS stimulants, such as appetite suppressants and caffeine-containing beverages like tea, coffee, cocoa, and cola drinks. Avoid drinking large amounts of these beverages while taking this medicine. If you have any questions about this, check with your doctor.
This medicine may cause some people to become drowsy or less alert than they are normally. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are not alert.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.

The Snow Angel
The Snow Angel3 1 5 Autor: Glenn Beck Czyta: January LaVoy, Ron McLarty
It was a photo of me.
Rachel Price has just one happy memory from her childhood: the moment her father took her hands while playing outside on a cold, snowy day and called her his angel. It was a rare and sacred moment in her young life, one in which she finally felt safe, loved, and protected.
But it didn't last long.
Years later, Rachel's daughter is the only light in what has become a dark life. Rachel repeats the patterns she learned as a child and exposes her own daughter to those same destructive behaviors. Consumed by an abusive marriage, but secure in the safety of the familiar, she is too afraid to escape.
Rachel accepts what her life has become, even as she makes excuses for those who keep her in a constant state of despair and regret. But then, an unexpected phone call from an old friend changes everything. Her ordered world is turned upside down as she's set on a journey that might be her last chance to salvage the life she'd given up on long ago.
While new friendships tentatively blossom, Rachel realizes that everything she once believed may be nothing but lies and misunderstandings. But knowing the truth is not as easy as it seems. Sometimes ignorance truly is bliss. As the snow falls and the promise of Christmas redemption nears, Rachel begins to see her entire childhood in a brand-new light and must now decide what her future holds—and what her past really means. Will knowing the truth set her free, or will it condemn her to a life full of regret and "what ifs"?
The Snow Angel is a poignant tale about family, forgiveness, and the freedom to live a future free of the past.

Apparently our ancestors used to eat panda meat in Southwest China.
They were "much smaller then," so they were tiny pandas. Our ancestors snacked on tiny pandas.
As a meat-eater, I understand that it's hypocritical of me to feel bad about this revelation — and yes, yes, I know pandas are really aggressive, blah blah — but I can't help it. You keep your panda shit-talking to yourself. LOOK AT THOSE PANDAS GOING DOWN THE SLIDE.

Sacred Symbols
Exploring the symbols, metaphors and archetypal patterns found in myth, pop culture, nature, literature, oracles, astrology, religion, psychology, Tarot, art and history.
Symbols in the Emperor Tarot Card
"He has a form of the Crux ansata for his scepter and a globe in his left hand. He is a crowned monarch—commanding, stately, seated on a throne, the arms of which are fronted by rams' heads. He is executive and realization, the power of this world, here clothed with the highest of natural attributes… Hereof is the lordship of thought rather than of the animal world." – Arthur Edward Waite from The Pictorial Key to the Tarot
Hello Symbol lovers! Let's explore the symbols within Tarot's Emperor card:
4 – Four is a number of stability, organization, partitioning and foundations.
Throne – A throne is a seat of authority and power. It usually sits in the center of a palace, symbolizing the central importance of rulership.
Ram – The symbol of Aries, the Ram symbolizes leadership, courage and aggression. Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of war.
Armor – Iron and steel further connect to The Emperor to Mars, the planet that governs such metals. Armor protects and shields.
Scepter – Scepters are phallic, masculine symbols of authority and sovereign power. The Emperor's scepter is unusual in that it looks like an ankh. In the book The Secret Language of Tarot, the authors state, "The Ankh has always been an amulet of pharaohs and kings that brings life, health, happiness, and fortune to those who possess it. The less of the Ankh is that simple." In the book The Tarot: A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages, Paul Foster Case notes that the ankh is a modified Venus symbol referring to the exaltation of the Sun in Aries.
Orb – A feminine symbol. The Emperor has ultimate balance with his consort, The Empress. In this case, the sphere can symbolize Heaven or the spiritual universe made manifest in the form of a ruler—in this case, The Emperor. In ancient Rome, an orb represented the cosmos.
Crown –Crowns signify rulership and authority, a "marriage ring" between heaven and earth. The Emperor's crown looks a lot like the Holy Roman Emperor's Crown, which was heavy with Christian iconography. The arches hint at the "vaults of Heaven".
Heart Shawl – If you look at the Emperors left shoulder, the shawl looks like it's sporting a red heart. Could this mean that, despite his steeling armor, he wears his "heart on his sleeve"? Or perhaps it suggests that his fierceness is tempered by compassion. When power goes to the head, though, some rulers become intoxicated with control. Could the heart shawl indicate romantic conquests? I like to think that, with the just use of power, the Emperor wins the heart of his subjects.
Red, Orange and Yellow – Red connects 1st/Root Chakra of tribal identity and survival issues. It also signifies desire, passion, aggression and romance. Orange connects to the 2nd/Sacral Chakra of relationships, control, money and creativity. It signifies optimism and enthusiasm. Yellow connects to the 3rd/Solar Plexus Chakra of self-esteem, confidence and personal power. It also connects with the sun, gold and fire. In China and Southeast Asia, yellow symbolizes royalty. In fact, in 6th century China, only an Emperor was allowed to wear yellow. (For more information, please see my eBook The Chakras).
Rightward Gaze – In handwriting analysis, rightward connects to the future and forward thinking.
White Hair – Hair often symbolizes inner strength and power (remember the story of Samson)? White hair symbolizes age and experience.
Long White Beard – White beards often signify elder wisdom and dignity. According to The Book of Symbols, artistic portrayals of many gods contain beards symbolizing masculine authority and virility. Even clean-shaven Egyptian rulers wore false beards to symbolize sovereignty. Because beards cover the mouth and jaw, it's "been associated with the potency of word or logos. This is further reinforced by the habit of stroking or tugging at the beard when pondering a problem. Thus, the Green word pogonotrophos, 'man with a beard', was once a synonym for philosopher". When the beard grows wild, however, it then connects to animality, wild primalism, sadism, rage, dehumanization or destructiveness.
Mountains – Mountains have often been connected to prophetic revelations (Moses) and godhood (MountOlympus). It's pointed peaks are phallic, reaching up to the feminine sky. From "high up", the Emperor gets a broader perspective and accesses Divine wisdom. Because these mountains are red (instead of cool gray or white), it may symbolize getting a "higher perspective" for strategy or engaging in combat.
Narrow Stream – There's a thin stream of water right behind The Emperor. Water connects with the feminine, as well as dreams, intuition, emotions and the subconscious. While The Emperor may access and utilize such approaches, he has a "narrow" view of them since they aren't his forte. The Emperor, instead, connects to the Yang of consciousness, logic, analysis and reason.

Avila off to slow start in rehab assignment
DETROIT -- Although Tigers catcher Alex Avila said he felt as good as new before he started his rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo, he has struggled at the plate in his first few games back.
In two games as a designated hitter, Avila is 0-for-8 with a walk and two strikeouts.
Avila was placed on the 15-day disabled list after being hit by a pitch on his left forearm against the Twins on June 17. The earliest he can return is July 2, and he expects to return on that date.
However, manager Jim Leyland says Avila needs to get his swing going during his assignment. Avila has been stuck in a season-long slump at the plate, batting .172 with five home runs and 13 RBIs in 48 games.
Catcher Bryan Holaday was 2-for-7 in his absence with two runs scored entering play Tuesday. He started Tuesday against the Angels, batting ninth.

Carl's post (grabbed from another thread) raises a good point - what would really be handy would be some promotional materials which assume no prior knowledge and are accessible in layperson language.Carl wrote:Ok I'll start =]
I think it would be good to create a standard text/Leaflet which people could post on non technical type forums ranging from things like gardening to cooking or other forums/websites which aren't necessarily related to computers in anyway that would explain what Linux Mint is and how it is perfectly capable of doing everything that windows currently does for them as I personally am a member of many gardening forums and other non-pc forums and no that if people actually new that they didn't have to update to widows vista and that they could hang on to there 512mb windows XP computer they would! especially if that meant a £200 saving
Furthermore, whatever copy or text is used, for any LM promotional material, needs to be mindful of it's context and intended audience.
To an audience which is already familiar with Linux and has heard of Mint, then "Get Linux Mint" or even "Taste Linux Mint" may well be appropriate. For John or Josephine Citizen surfing the net from XP using IE seeing a LM button, or someone walking down the street seeing a LM t-shirt, these same messages may be obscure - do they refer to a new brand of confectionery? A toothpaste? A car? So, a message's context (where/how/to whom it's displayed) & intended audience (& their familiarity with the "product") is everything.
On that topic, even the LM homepage presently assumes a degree of familiarity with LM, with one of the first things people see being the blog. I suggest taking a leaf out of Ubuntu's book (homepage) & including something which on the very first page people see, provides a broad introduction & answers the question, "What is Linux Mint?" (Answering the question, "why do I want to use it / how will I benefit?" would be very handy too.)
Now, that's not to say that ALL promotional materials need to be super-explanatory. Using a T-shirt as an example:
- having a shirt simply with the logo on it (& maybe the motto too) could be good for style value, & to some extent, brand recognition. Of course, many who see it may assume it's just a picture on a shirt, a fashion label, etc, without making the connection to computing.
- having the same shirt with the logo (& maybe motto) on one side, with something on the other side that puts LM in the context of computers, could also be good. Examples may include something like, "Have you freed your computer yet?" or "Give your PC a treat". This could potentially be far better in terms of generating interest / questions & more actively promoting Mint.
- Of course, why not have both? A variety of materials can be made available, according to various people's tastes / interests.
Anyway, some thoughts to build upon...

What is an IUD?
An IUD is a contraceptive, a small coil of about 3 cm inserted by a doctor in the womb to prevent pregnancy. A woman who has a cupper IUD and is pregnant must have an ultrasound because the risk of an ectopic pregnancy is higher. If the ultrasound shows that pregnancy is in the uterus, if possible, we advise to have the IUD removed before doing the abortion.

Since a family member announced plans to go "vegan," I've been challenged to acquire more knowledge about a diet that centers on plant foods that include fruits, vegetables, dried beans and peas, grains, seeds and nuts.
While researchers estimate that only two percent of the adult population follows a vegetarian diet, the numbers are rising due to the concerns of folks coping with conditions such as food allergies, food intolerances, heart disease and diabetes, to name but a few.
Besides reasons relating to health, others embrace vegetarianism due, in part, to religious, moral and ethical issues, such as those surrounding animal rights and the environment. And, just as a person's motive for being vegetarian differs, so does the extent to which people adhere to their diets.
In very general terms, vegetarians are classified as a group of people who do not eat meat, with vegans observing the strictest of rules, refusing to consume all animal products such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, as well as some other foods, like honey. From being vegan, the lifestyle gets less restrictive, with "lacto vegetarians" adding dairy to their meals plans and "lacto-ovo vegetarians" including both dairy and eggs among the foods they choose to eat. Another group of vegetarians who skip eating meat and poultry, but who do eat fish, are called "pescetarians" (pesce means "fish" in Italian), with others being called "flexitarians" (or "semi-vegetarians'), who, says National Institute of Health (NIH) nutritionist and registered dietician Jody Engel in the organization's July 2012 "News in Health" newsletter, "tend to follow their own rules."
If you are contemplating a significant change in diet, it is always wise to speak to an expert for guidance, and visiting your health care provider is a good place to start. He or she may refer you to a registered dietician, and together a determination may be made on what meal plan is best for you.
Current cookbooks, such as the fine titles featured here from Andrews McMceel Publishing (www.andresmcmeel.com), offer recipes and up-to-date information that can help make transitioning into news ways of eating both delicious and satisfying. Additionally, excellent material and resources can be found on the NIH website at newsinhealth.nih.gov/issue/Jul2012/Feature1 for plant-based eating and at www.niaid.nih.gov/ for information on allergies and food intolerances.

12 ounces rotini
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
¾ cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
¼ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
Cook the rotini in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 10 minutes. While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and diced tomatoes, and simmer until the tomatoes have broken down a bit, 5 minutes. Add the olives, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, basil, salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper to taste. Cook to blend flavors, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes longer. Drain the cooked pasta well and serve topped with the sauce. Serves 4.

1 cup dried black-eyed peas
2 small bay leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
About 6 cups water
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 (15-ounce) can whole tomatoes, with juices
3 ounces collard greens, stemmed and cut into ½-inch squares (about 1 cup)
½ cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
2 teaspoons dried thyme
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
? teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Combine the black-eyed peas, bay leaves and garlic in a heavy saucepan. Add enough water to cover the beans by about 2 inches (about 3 cups), then bring the water to a boil over high heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes until the peas are par-cooked; they should be soft but still hold their shape. Add the 1 teaspoon salt and cook 5 minutes longer. Heat the oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 7 minutes.
Add the celery and bell pepper, then cover and cook until the pepper begins to soften, about 4 minutes. Break up the tomatoes by squeezing them in your hands over the pot, then add the tomatoes and their juices to the pot. Stir in the collard greens and corn. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the thyme, the ½ teaspoon black pepper and the cayenne pepper and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the black-eyed peas and their cooking liquid and 3 cups of water to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a simmer. Decrease the heat to medium-low and gently simmer until the peas and greens are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaves. Add more water, if needed, to thin the soup to the desired consistency. Stir in the cilantro, and season to taste with more salt and black pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve. The soup will keep for 2 days, covered and refrigerated, or for 1 month frozen. To rewarm, bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally and adding water to thin the soup to the desired consistency. Serves 6 to 8 (makes about 8 cups).

¼ large head cauliflower, chopped into florets
4 sheets toasted nori (sushi wrappers)
1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and cut into narrow strips
½ cucumber, peeled and cut into narrow strips about 2 inches long
1 small carrot, peeled and finely shredded
Wheat-free tamari, for Dipping
Place the cauliflower in a food processor. Process until the cauliflower is chopped fine and resembles rice. Place one sheet of nori on a cutting board. Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of the chopped cauliflower along the bottom third (closest to you) of the nori. Place one-quarter of the avocado and cucumber strips on top of the cauliflower, then sprinkle with one-quarter of the carrot. Dip your fingers in the water and run them across the top ½ inch of the nori to dampen. Start rolling the nori from the bottom so the vegetables are wrapped up inside; wrap as tightly as you can without breaking the nori, then seal along the damp edge with water as needed. Set aside and repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings. When all the sheets are rolled, take a sharp knife and cut each roll in half crosswise, then cut each half into three bite-size pieces. Serve with small bowls of tamari for dipping. Serves 4.

This site takes its name from Loring Avenue, the majority of which runs through Brooklyn, but which extends into Queens for the length of this park. Loring Avenue was known as Lorraine Avenue until 1937, when a local law changed the name of the section of the roadway running from Fountain Avenue to the Brooklyn-Queens border. Today Loring Field is used by several football leagues.
Organized football in New York dates back to 1870, when Rutgers University defeated Columbia University six goals to three in the city's first official football game. In the late 19th century, New York often played host to games between colleges from other parts of the country. The best attended games often involved Notre Dame University from South Bend, Indiana, which drew crowds from the large catholic population in the city.
The first professional team to play in New York was Brickley's Giants, who played two games in the National Football League (NFL) in 1921. In 1925, a team called the New York Giants joined the NFL, playing their games at the Polo Grounds at 156th street in Manhattan. The team would later move to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, where on December 28, 1958, the Baltimore Colts would beat the Giants 23-17, a match that many people consider the greatest game in NFL history. The fact that the game was televised nationally and took place in New York, the nation's largest city and media center, was a major stimulus for the popularization of what would become one of the country's most popular sports.
Although the Giants celebrated their 75th anniversary in 2000, many other professional New York football franchises have lacked such staying power. Many of these teams were named after the City's baseball clubs in an attempt to capitalize on that sport's success. NFL franchises such as the New York Yankees, Brooklyn Dodgers, Brooklyn Lions, and Staten Island Stapletons all played in New York at one time.
Three different American Football Leagues (AFL) were organized from 1925 to 1941, with New York teams such as the Brooklyn Lions, Brooklyn Horsemen, Brooklyn Tigers, New York Americans and three versions of the New York Yankees. The New York Titans were a member of a fourth AFL division formed in 1960. The Titans changed their name to the Jets in 1963 in anticipation of a move to Shea Stadium in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, adjacent to LaGuardia Airport, in 1964. The Jets proved to be longer lasting than most, with the franchise still in existence today.
Parks acquired this site in three parts, in 1915, 1951, and 1954. The additions have made the park the full triangle it is today, bordered on three sides by 149th Avenue, Cross Bay Blvd, and North Conduit Avenue. Commissioner Stern named Loring Field on June 18, 1987. Today it is used not only for football, but for baseball games as well.

Don't Get Wound Up Over Apple Smart Watch
The latest frenzy over the possibility that Apple might be working on a flexible glass-based smart watch smells a wee bit of desperation. People are desperate for Apple to unveil something brand new – anything really — even a lowly wristwatch.
I love watches by the way. I have drawers full of them, ranging from early 20th Century wind-up pocket watches to mechanical gems from virtually every decade. The collection also includes early digital watches: LCDs, LEDs and some rather pitiful quartz movement numbers.
Watch Me
Over the decade or so that I spent amassing this collection, wristwatches have slowly fallen out of favor. So much so that by 2006 all the major manufacturers were reporting precipitous sales declines. The culprit? Smartphones and iPods (the iPhone had yet to make its debut). Not only did smartphones tell the time, they did it better than most traditional watches, thanks to features like multiple time zones (at the touch of a finger or press of a button) and instant geo-location for always-accurate time.
Slowly but surely, people stopped wearing wristwatches and came to rely solely on their ever-present phones for the time. Watches never disappeared entirely, though most people continued to wear only the quartz-powered variety. To counter consumer disinterest, watch companies created odd and often unreadable LCD-driven watch faces. Personally I hated them.
In all that time, I never stopped wearing a watch. I typically switched between any from my collection, until my wife handed me a lovely Kenneth Cole kinetic watch for one of our anniversaries. A kinetic watch is a mechanical timepiece that constantly winds itself with every swing of your wrist. The front and back of my watch are clear glass, which means you can see the lovely jewel-based movement inside. I cannot tell you how many compliments I've gotten on it.
I was, though, for all intents and purposes an outlier. Most people I knew had stopped wearing watches and younger generations had zero interest in them.
Fashion Turns Back the Clock
Watch sales did come around, but not thanks to technology. Instead, the resurgence of wrist watch wearing appeared, at least to my eyes, to be tied to fashion and luxury. Not only did I see more and more ads for beautiful, mechanical watches from companies like Rolex, Breitling, Bulova and others, I noticed that people far younger than me had a renewed interest in the brands and wind-up and kinetic models.
My teenage son is a fairly good example. He's obsessed with the watches worn by his current favorite "hero" James Bond, who in Skyfall wears an Omega Seamaster. It's a beautiful chronograph with a number of Bond-esque features like the ability to handle underwater dives of up to 2000 ft. Still, it's actually quite a traditional-looking time piece for such a lust-worthy device.
And this is why I think the Apple Smart Watch is kind of a silly idea.
Wrong Product, Wrong Time
Apple would not be the first company to try and make a smart watch. We have examples from I'm, Pebble, WiMM, Sony and even Apple tried to turn its formerly square iPod Nano into a watch. Sure it only created the watch faces for the music device and then let dozens of third-party companies create the cases, but the intention was still clear.
None of these hybrid devices has taken the world by storm. Most are bulky and look too much like a module stuffed inside a rubberized, wearable case (Oh, right, because that's what they are). They're all touchscreen, which should be a bonus, but is actually not because the screens are way too small to be useful. When I test drove the WiMM, I thought it was a smart concept, but mostly impractical.
Apple's next potential smart watch or, naturally, iWatch, could be something more. If it's truly flexible glass with an affixed LCD panel and touch around most of the wrist that will at least make it a bit more useful. If it also works as a phone (essentially, the iPhone wrapped around your wrist) it could become the wearable, do-everything device.
But I just don't think that's what people want.
Won't Give It The Time of Day
Watches are practical fashion accessories. You can spend a lot (and I mean a lot) on a lovely Bulova that looks more like jewelry than a time piece, but justify the cost because, well, it does at least tell the time (and sometimes day and date).
Just because Apple builds it (and there is no guarantee it will) doesn't mean consumers are going to change tastes and drop all the elegant wrist wear they've started buying again in droves (take a walk up Fifth Ave in New York City, where you'll find a hive of packed, high-end watch stores, and you'll believe me).
My son does not want a watch to replace his phone (just like I never wanted a phone to replace all my watches). He wants something that looks really cool on his wrist. Whatever Apple produces, I don't think it's going to get the job done. Plus, am I the only one who worries that glass, no matter how flexible, is exactly the wrong solution for wearable technology? At some point, ultra-thin glass will break. Case in point: Fiber optic cable (made of glass) must always be looped. If you have fiber coming into your home, as I do, you'll notice that they never, ever bend the cable past a gentle 25 degrees or so.
People, I know you're desperate for Apple to break into a new category, but this kind of wearable technology is not it. It just isn't. Of course, only time will tell.

The 2001 Parasol Records release Shoe Fetish - A Tribute To Shoes brought together 22 artists to honor the Zion, Illinois power pop band. The participants included Matthew Sweet, Bobby Sutliff, Sparkle* Jets UK, The Spongetones, The Shazam, and Big Hello.
One of the CD's best tracks was a cover of "Never Had It Better" by the California-based outfit The Tearaways, and their guest vocalist Scott McCarl. It was a brilliant adaptation that pumped up the Beatles influence that had inspired the original until it sounded like it could have come from Rubber Soul or Revolver. The tempo is faster than the one used by Shoes when they recorded "Never Had It Better" for their Stolen Wishes album, with ringing guitars and great harmonies.
McCarl, who also worked in a later version of The Raspberries, and recorded the solo Play On in 1998, unleashed some authentic John Lennon wailing as The Tearaways raced to the finish line, and the song ends with a recreation of Lennon saying The Beatles could have just as easily called themselves Shoes. The Tearaways released Beat Yer Own Mersey in 2006 and continue to perform live.
Incidentally, when I interviewed Jeff Murphy, John Murphy, and Gary Klebe of Shoes for the Illinois Entertainer prior to the release of Stolen Wishes in 1990, they told me they hadn't even been aware of Lennon's remark until they heard it on the ABC TV special Heroes Of Rock in 1979.

Our interests lie in determining why viruses infect specific hosts and how in turn, host genes confer resistance to this infection. Our lab studies 2 different types of viruses, retroviruses like mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) and murine leukemia virus (MLV) which cause cancer in mice, and the new world arenaviruses, which cause hemorrhagic fever in humans. The genetics of susceptibility is easily studied with naturally-occurring pathogens in inbred and genetically-manipulated mice. MMTV is an endemic oncogenic retrovirus that has been an infectious agent in mice for > 20 million years, while MLV has been in mice ~ 3 million years. Infectious MMTV is passed from mothers to offspring through milk and first spreads in lymphoid cells before infecting mammary epithelial cells; MLV is probably also milk-transmitted. These viruses thus serve as models for the human milk-borne retroviruses HIV-1 and HTLV1. MMTV causes breast cancer and MLV causes lymphomas when the viral genome inserts next to cellular oncogenes by activating their expression. Our studies focus on understanding the mechanisms that determine susceptibility to MMTV infection and virus-induced mammary tumors and we have identified a number of genes and mechanisms that confer resistance to infection by MMTV and MLV. Genes of the immune system play a major role in susceptibility to infection, and one gene which we recently discovered is involved in the control of MMTV and MLV infection is Apobec3. All mammals encode Apobec3 genes which play a role in intrinsic cellular immunity to a number of viruses, including human immunodeficiency virus type 1. APOBEC3 proteins are packaged into virions and inhibit retroviral replication in newly infected cells, at least in part by deaminating cytosine on the negative strand DNA intermediates. We found that mouse APOBEC3 protein is packaged into MMTV and MLV particles in vitro and dramatically reduces viral titers. Most importantly, APOBEC3 knockout mice are more susceptible to MMTV and MLV infection compared to their wild type littermates. These findings indicate that the APOBEC3 provides protection to mice against retroviral infection and represent the first demonstration that it functions during retroviral infection in vivo. We are currently studying how genetic variation in the mouse APOBEC3 genes affects their ability to inhibit infection and whether APOBEC3 can be used as an anti-retroviral therapeutic target. We have recently extended our studies to new world arenaviruses like Junín virus. These viruses are endemic in new world rodents in South America and are spread to humans via aerosolization. Interestingly, both Junín virus and MMTV use transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) for entry. We are currently studying how MMTV and Junín virus use TfR1 to enter cells and how the iron metabolic pathway intersects with infection by these viruses. In addition, we are studying different host genes that confer resistance or susceptibility Junín virus, and whether polymorphisms in these genes in humans alter infection. These studies will help us identify host molecules involved in cell- and disease-tropism and help us to develop new anti-viral therapies."

Doctor Sleep
3.5 out of 5 Stars
Director: Mike Flanagan
Writers: Mike Flanagan, Stephen King
Starring: Rebecca Ferguson, Ewan McGregor, Kyliegh Curran
Genre: Horror, Fantasy
Rated: R for disturbing and violent content, some bloody images, language, nudity and drug use
SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) – Synopsis: Decades after the horrors of "The Shining," Danny Torrance is a drifter who uses alcohol to numb his supernatural abilities. Tormented by his past, Danny is contacted by a young girl who also has special abilities.
Review: Depending on who you ask, "The Shining" is either a classic horror film from filmmaker Stanley Kubrick or a novel written by Stephen King. The truth is somewhere between as Kubrick's film is a very loose adaptation that King isn't fond of.
Director/writer Mike Flanagan is put in an unusual situation with "Doctor Sleep." He is asked to make a film based on King's sequel novel while also making a movie that acknowledges Kubrick's interpretation of the original story.
For most of its running time (156 minutes) "Doctor Sleep" feels nothing like Kubrick's film as it plays up the fantasy aspects of the story rather than creating a sense of hysterical claustrophobia. It's less cerebral. Even the violence feels more physical. Where Kubrick's film feels layered with meaning, "Doctor Sleep" feels straight-forward.
I like that "Doctor Sleep" feels different. The last thing I'd want is Flanagan trying to do a Kubrick impression. That said, there are aspects of the story that inevitably require Flanagan to reference and recreate some of the film's most iconic set pieces. Outside of a couple moments, he nails the landing.
The biggest problem that I have with "Doctor Sleep" is the way it telegraphs its final act and then takes forever to get there. It's a tease that steals away the suspense from almost everything that comes before the payoff. If there was a part of the film that could have been stretched, it is the part of the film that feels the most compressed.
I like the cast, Rebecca Ferguson owned "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" and Ewan McGregor is a great actor that has carried his share of movies, but neither takes the kind of risks that Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall did in "The Shining." They're perfectly fine, never distracting but also never distinct. Ferguson comes the closest in a particularly vicious moment.
I enjoyed "Doctor Sleep." It's a perfectly serviceable sequel that has the unfortunate pressure of following a film that it was never going to be able to match or replicate.
Don't go looking for "The Shining," allow "Doctor Sleep" to be "Doctor Sleep" and I think you'll enjoy it.

Navy to Scrap USS Bonhomme Richard After Fire
The U.S. Navy has decided to scrap the amphibious landing dock USS Bonhomme Richard due to extensive damage from last July's fire at Naval Base San Diego. The Navy said...
On Saturday, the US Navy will christen the Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV) Choctaw County, named for three U.S. counties, located in Mississippi, Alabama and Oklahoma, which share the county's name, during a ceremony in Mobile, Alabama.
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus will deliver the ceremony's principal address. Women from Ackerman High School's class of 1966, 29 in all, will serve as the ship's sponsors, with Theresa Pitts designated as the lead sponsor for the classmates. Ackerman High School is located in Choctaw County's town of Ackerman, Miss.
"I chose to name this joint high speed vessel after Choctaw County where core American values of hard work, putting family first, and giving back to your community are on constant display," said Mabus. "I could think of no better representatives of these values than the women of Ackerman High School's class of 1966. Each represents the best of the American spirit and our enduring American values. I am honored they accepted the invitation to serve as sponsors for this fine ship."
The 338 foot-long aluminum catamaran is being constructed by Austal USA in Mobile, Ala. Choctaw County and the eight other JHSVs under contract enable fast, intra-theater transportation of troops, military vehicles, supplies and equipment. Military commanders will have the flexibility to use the JHSV in a variety of roles, including supporting overseas contingency operations, conducting humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, supporting special operations forces and supporting emerging joint sea-basing concepts.

They can transport 600 short tons 1,200 nautical miles at an average speed of 35 knots and can operate in shallow-draft ports and waterways, providing U.S. forces added mobility and flexibility. The JHSVs also have an aviation flight deck to support day and night air vehicle launch and recovery operations. JHSVs have berthing space for up to 146 personnel and airline-style seating for up to 312.
Upon delivery to the U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command (MSC), Choctaw County will be designated as a U.S. Naval Ship and will have a core crew of 21 civilian mariners who will operate and navigate the ship. The first four JHSVs, including Choctaw County, will be crewed by federally employed civil service mariners. The remaining six will be crewed by civilian contract mariners working for private shipping companies under contract to MSC. Military mission personnel will embark, as required, by the mission sponsors.
