Iran Developing Nuclear Subs
Iran has begun initial development of its own nuclear-powered submarines FARS news agency informs RiaNovosi the Iranian fleet's deputy commander Vice-Admiral Abbas Zamini said the Islamic Republic is already taking the first steps toward creating nuclear-powered boats. "Right now we are at the initial stages of creating nuclear submarines," he said. Use of atomic energy for submarine propulsion is not in contravention of any international agreements, he noted. The United States and many European states suspect Iran of using its domestic civil nuclear program as a cover for a nuclear weapons development program, a charge Tehran denies, insisting the program is only for generating electricity. The Iranian Navy currently operates three Russian-built Project 877 (Kilo class) diesel-electric submarines and a few very small domestically-made boats. Currently, only the navies of China, France, India, Russia, the United Kingdom and United States operate nuclear-powered submarines.

Gilmour out for the season
Huddersfield Giants say centre or second rower Lee Gilmour has played his last match for the club.
The 34-year-old former Wigan Warriors, Bradford Bulls, St Helens and Great Britain player, who is joining Castleford Tigers on a two-year contract from next year, has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury which will require surgery.
"It's unfortunate for him as he is a proud man and a true professional," said Giants coach Paul Anderson.
"All being well, the surgery will prove a success and he'll make a full recovery.
"Lee intends to stay around the squad once the operation is done and give us his full support from the sidelines."

How the iPod will change computing By Eliot Van Buskirk Senior editor (11/2/01)
Last week, I drove down to Cupertino to attend a press conference at Apple, although no one from the company would tell me why I was going or what I would see when I got there. All I had was a cryptic piece of paper telling me that Apple was launching some sort of product that wasn't a computer.
I have to admit, the air of mystery surrounding the announcement was both annoying and intriguing. I picked up my badge and walked into Apple's town hall meeting room a little late. A scruffy Steve Jobs was already talking about the device, which we now know as the iPod, a portable MP3 player with a 5GB hard drive (see our First Take preview).
The iPod was the first Apple product that I've ever covered, and I was looking forward to seeing whether the company's employees were really as loyal to Jobs as I had heard. Sure enough, when a fellow journalist asked when the device would work with Windows, I got my wish: an Apple employee snorted with derision, as if to say, "Why on earth would we want to lower ourselves to selling to just anyone when we could pick the elite 4 percent of people that are Mac users?" (Jobs said that Apple would add Windows support at some point in the future, but not before the holiday season.)
I know that Mac-only compatibility is just one of the things that people will complain about in reference to this device. But the naysayers have it wrong, and I'll tell you why: The iPod is revolutionary in a number of ways, and its descendents will replace the PC. To find out how the iPod is the next step in the digital revolution, read on. |

Ark Naturals Gentle Digest Dog & Cat Capsules Customer Reviews
Ark Naturals Gentle Digest Dog & Cat Capsules
Think your greyhound (dog) will forever turn your car/living-room/bed-room/house/friend's house into a deadly gas chamber? Well think again! This supplement can actually cause that common stank you know so well to cease once and for all from lurking out of your loving Fido's rear end.
My greyhound has had gas problems ever since I got him. I immediately put him on a grain free, corn free, soy free, dairy free diet (TOTW), and his gas still didn't subside. I switched between a number of different TOTW flavors, including the Salmon, Buffalo, and Lamb. I did some research on gassy dogs, and the only information I could find was to 1- Switch their diet to a grain-free/high quality dog food (which he already was on) and 2- Give them extra probiotics, like those found in yogurt. So I did feed him yogurt, which did not work, aka- more putrid gas.
Eventually, I found this product. So, I decided it was worth the $10 to give it a try. Within two days- HIS GAS WAS GONE!!! He has been on it about a month, and so far- has farted once, instead of the usual 10+ times a day. The recommended dosage on the bottle for my 75lb. boy is 3 capsules/day. I only give him 1 capsule, in the morning with his breakfast. This has been working fine, since I am only using this product to cut down on his gas. The capsules are very tiny, so he just wolfs them down with his food.
So far- EXCELLENT product. I HIGHLY recommend this to all who are plagued by dog farts. I am one happy momma with my boy's happy, toot-less booty.

Great Pro-Biotic
The immune system is everything for your dogs health. Sometimes they have to have antibiotics which kills all bacteria including the good which is necessary for good food digestion. This product puts the good bacteria back. This is the best product to date I have found and I have tried several.

2013 Ford Taurus 2.0L EcoBoost First Impressions
2013 Ford Taurus 2.0L EcoBoost First Impressions
by Lesley Wimbush /
DEARBORN, Michigan –
With fuel prices skyrocketing, auto manufacturers have been under the gun to produce viable alternatives to the gas-guzzling powerplants of yesteryear. And while full-on electrification just isn't feasible for everyone – yet – internal combustion engine technology has evolved to a level that was simply unimaginable a few years ago. In the halcyon days of big-block horsepower, who'd have predicted the current reverse cachet of ever-shrinking displacement?
During a recent 2013 line-up preview in Dearborn, Michigan, Ford's president of the Americas, Mark Fields, boasted that Ford had seven vehicles with the "smallest displacement in their segments."
Through lightweight materials, compact design, better turbo management and fuel delivery refinement, Ford's line of EcoBoost engines are delivering high fuel economy, and now, the type of performance once limited to V6 or even V8 mills.
Over a drive route of approximately an hour, consisting of urban freeway, suburban construction and winding rural roadways of south western Michigan, we had a chance to experience the latest
2013 Ford Taurus
– equipped with a 2.0L, 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine.
Although we were thoroughly impressed with the new chocolate-brown paint scheme, we were fully prepared to be underwhelmed. After all, at over 3,950 lbs (or 1,800 kg), the Taurus is a portly beast to be driven by a four-banger. Expecting some degree of thrashiness, if not sleep-inducing lethargy, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the 2.0L engine had no problem moving the full-size sedan around.

Although the throttle response couldn't be called quick or sporty, there's little sign of any turbo lag from the EcoBoost. At 240 hp, the engine's output is less than the
Dodge Charger
Chrysler 300
or Chevrolet Impala, but its 270 lb-ft of torque tops all three.
Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, there's none of the noisiness inherent in many four-cylinder engines, although it's not quite as smooth as the V6.
The big sedan handled well over some of the pockmarked country roads, the lighter engine bay contributing to its sense of balance. The electrically-assisted power steering has a nice feel to it, with the added bonus of contributing to fuel economy by reducing its dependency on engine power.
But the big news is that the 2.0L powered Taurus claims US highway fuel ratings of 32 mpg, or 26 mpg combined – which converts to 7.4 and 9.0L/100km, respectively. These numbers give it the edge over its segment competitors, and in fact, puts it on par with some of the luxury diesel and hybrid brands costing thousands more.

Although the 2.0L EcoBoost Taurus probably won't appeal to the driving enthusiast, neither should it be dismissed as merely adequate. For those who love big, fully-loaded sedans, the 2.0L EcoBoost's impressive fuel economy might prove that bigger isn't necessarily better.
It doesn't mean cheaper, however. While no concrete Canadian prices are available yet, the 2.0L EcoBoost Taurus should cost roughly $1,000 more than the base V6 model.

Proposals by Business Secretary Lord Mandelson to create an expanded role for post offices as part of the government response to the financial crisis are too little too late according to Welsh Liberal Democrat Social Justice Spokesperson, Peter Black.
Lord Mandelson has proposed making use of the Post Office Network and its 24 million customers each week to create a People's Bank. He believes that this will help support the remaining Post Office branches and make them more viable. However, although he welcomes the initiative, Mr. Black says that the way Labour have destroyed the Post Office network means that it may be too little too late.
"Lord Mandelson's conversion to Liberal Democrat policy is gratifying, but it will be meaningless if he subsequently awards the Post Office Card Account to another provider," said Mr. Black. "4,000 Post Offices have been closed by Labour since 1997. If they do not win the contract for the Post Office Card Account then another 2,500 will go bust."
"Lord Mandelson is trying to rebuild the Post Office business on shifting sand. Nearly £200 million worth of Government business has been taken off the Post Office network in recent years, the Post Office Card Account is under threat and communities have been undermined by closures. If he is serious about putting saving the Post Office then he needs to address those issues as well."

Response to
No troll here, sorry if you think that.
I agree with a lot of your post. I tend to get so wound up in equipment and swing issues that I forget to just go out and enjoy playing the game. I can't even remember how many different types of golf clubs I've had over the years, I'm sure there is a perfect set of clubs out there somewhere -- I keep searching. I've tried a number of different swing systems, and have never found one that helps improve my game. And still I keep searching. Maybe one of these days, I'll quit all this foolishness, and just GO PLAY GOLF AND ENJOY!

I went to this great workshop last June at Bailey Ceramics featuring John Britt and Jim Bailey. When we arrived we were created with buckets of pre-mixed glazes (this potter's dream!) and were allowed to glaze about 6 pieces each. They were all fired to cone 10 in reduction. This was my introduction to Jeff's Red (see John Britt's book). You can also read this nice article on Jeff's Red, written by John Britt.
drama and pizazz!
The glaze was very cool and I promptly came home to make a batch of my own! However, although also firing to cone 10 in reduction, my batch turned out to look like this:
I was so disappointed. The pink bowls hung around laughing at me on the shelf until one day while loading my electric kiln for a glaze firing I thought I'd throw in one of the pink bowls to see what would happen....and look at what happened!!
Oh la la!! |
On the left, Oh La La- on the right, ho hum...! |
Isn't it amazing how colorants struggle back and forth depending on the atmosphere? A perfect solution would be to figure out a way to get this effect in my reduction firing without all the extra expense, but I fear that requires a level of understanding and glaze fiddling beyond my ability right now.
Your thoughts? Any experience with this type of thing?
Thanks in advance for any comments you might have~
John Britt and Jim Bailey

Two summers ago, I was walking up Pike Street when I happened to pass a white stretch Hummer filled with hooting jackanapes. The block-long Hummer was stuck in traffic so we kept pace for awhile. Every few minutes, the men would pop up from the rear sunroof to throw pizza crusts at cars and pedestrians and shout "WOOOOOOO!!!!" punctuated by the occasional "FUUUUUUUCK YEAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"
Then, as the Hummer and I approached the Honey Hole, I watched as one of the "Fuck Yeah!" dudes beaned a cyclist in the face with a pizza crust. The cyclist did not flinch. Instead, he slowed down until he reached the front of the Hummer, unclipped his left foot, rose up, and brought his left heel down hard on the hood, leaving a fist-sized dent. The cyclist then clipped back in and swiftly pedaled away as the Hummer driver slammed on the breaks and the horn, and the men screams turned into, "WOOOOOOOFUCKAAAAAARGH!"
That is my favorite story involving a Hummer.
Now then! Guess which candidate vying to represent the 11th District (position 2) drives around in a spank-me-red Hummer that reportedly takes up multiple parking spots, according to one slog tipper?

Her job as an immigration official was to see that illegal immigrants were deported. It was as simple as that. Unfortunately, it is surprising how many people don't accept the fact that if a person who is a citizen of another country illegally enters this country, they have no legal rights to be here. They are not, as some liberals state "undocumented". They are actually, criminals who have broken our laws.

Chris Grant better be right if he wants to pay that price for Bradley Beal
Since the Draft Lottery first positioned the Cavaliers at 4th overall, there's been rampant speculation that Charlotte at number 2 could be a potential trading partner for Cleveland. Today John Telich reported that the two teams are currently talking, and that Cleveland is willing to give up picks number 24 and 34, in addition to 4, in order to move up two spots. It is then assumed, in my opinion at least, that the Cavaliers would make that move in order to pick Bradley Beal before Washington has the opportunity to do so at 3. Below is what Telich reported specifically:
If Chris Grant ultimately makes this move, I believe it will come to define his tenure as Cavaliers General Manager one way or another. I understand the rebuild has a long way to go. I get that we're heading into only the second season of the Kyrie Irving Era. I also clearly understand that four Cavaliers rookies will not make the opening night roster. But to make this trade, one thing you are doing is specifically and deliberately passing on two players figured to go in the top-5 that your franchise player has a close relationship with. If Beal's an All Star that's not a problem, if he isn't though?
Neither Harrison Barnes or Michael Kidd-Gilchrist elected to workout for the Kings who are picking 5th. Assuming it does go AD, Robinson, Beal - or you think it would go that way, and you make this trade anyways - the Cavs are first passing on the opportunity to chose between Barnes and MKG at no cost. Then you're spending two picks that could turn into at least one solid rotation player in order to move up and take Beal in this spot. Regardless of how many picks the Cavaliers have this year, next year, or the one after, this move seems extremely aggressive. I'm not sure Beal's that much better than those two other guys. If Grant does, I hope he's right.
Beal's certainly good, but stop comparing him to Ray Allen:

i am 89% sure this is how Hamilton's enemies just viewed him on a regular basis
Reblog Reblog Reblog!
Don't lose hope. If it's being shelved and edited there's still time to make Congress do the smart thing and consult people who actually know how the internet works.
They're probably hoping the hype will die down and they'll be able to quietly do whatever they want, which will inevitably be a huge problem for all of us. Don't let it. Keep up with what's happening and keep pestering your congresspeople.
I wish I could go back and save Laurens :(
Alexander Hamilton and John Laurens, detailed from Surrender of Cornwallis At Yorktown by John Trumball
"The death deprived Hamilton of the political peer, the steadfast colleague, that he was to need in his tempestuous battles to consolidate the union. He would enjoy a brief collaboration with James Madison and never lacked the stalwart if often aloof patronage of George Washington. But he was more of a solitary crusader without Laurens, lacking an intimate lifelong ally such as Jefferson and Madison found in each other. On a personal level, the loss was even more harrowing. Despite a large circle of admirers, Hamilton did not form deep friendships easily and never again revealed his interior life to another man as he had to Laurens. He became ever more voluble in his public life but somehow less introspective and revelatory in private. Henceforth, his confessional remarks were reserved for Eliza or Angelica Church. After the death of John Laurens, Hamilton shut off some compartment of his emotions and never reopened it."
Ron Chernow, Alexander Hamilton.
My AP US History teacher likes to joke.
Today he says "Hamilton was Washington's 'fair-hair boy', what ever he says, Washington listens"..
When we talk about the French Revolution, he says "One day Washington called in Hamilton and said to him 'Come here, my fair-hair boy, sit on my lap —- tell me, should we help the French?'"
I: *thinking about all the slash fics*
I love my History teacher so much

Studio Fashion Shoot
Last Saturday was a great day; It was one of the few fashion shoots I attempt and despite all the controversy and criticism surrounding fashion photography, it still feels like the most difficult work I've attempted and some of the greatest fun. Maybe the fun had less to do with it being a fashion shoot and more to do with the day, the people, the energy of the shoot.
I've heard two commercial fashion photographers speak recently about the importance of the right team in having a successful shoot. I have a pretty good sense of what that means and there certainly is more control over picking your team when you're paying them to work. When you're asking everyone to work for free, well hell, you kinda take what you get, right? I must be blessed, though. My "take what I can get" team was amazing.
Elmira Lilic – The Model: A successful model and international finance expert with Wells Fargo Bank. She and I had communicated via Facebook and finally met face to face to work out the shoot. Immediately I felt a good vibe, not only with her, but with her boyfriend Kelvin. Elmira had total buy in to the shoot, literally. She came armed with $3000 worth of clothes and accessories for the shoot (I hope she didn't loose any receipts:)) which gave us a great deal of flexibility.
Kelvin – The boyfriend: Professor, jazz pianist and all around great guy. He came to the shoot and provided some wonderful live jazz piano (there is a piano in my studio) while we worked. He was also kind enough to get the team coffee and some cake.
Chet and Amy – The Assistants: Using the word "assistants" is a little insulting, insomuch as they are both great photogs in their own right and generous to a fault. I can tell you that the shoot would not have happened without them, their attitude and natural abilities.
Oskar Ly – professional makeup and hair: Seriously, some of you have been on shoots of mine with really unprofessioinal professionals. Oskar was the antithesis. Amazing work, great energy and personality and very generous with her time.
So the team was really really strong and the only weak link was the photog….I mean this with all sincerity and I'm not fishing for anything here. This type of photography is very difficult to do well, at least in the way I define success. I pretty much missed most of my goals for the shoot and became painfully aware of how I naturally work in these situations. I learned a great deal from it and have a greater appreciation of the folks who do it well. I'll be taking a two day fashion photography workshop this February in Los Angeles. I now have a long list of questions for the instructor!!!!!
So on with the images. I hope you enjoy them. Remember you can click on any image to see a larger version.

Studio Photography: One/Two Light Portraits
This post and next features commissioned portrait work. The bulk of what we shot in both cases featured a single subject light and, in some cases, a background light. The power of a single subject light setup is that it allows the photographer and subject to concentrate on what's really important; the soul/personality/attitude of the subject, to stay behind the camera and remain connected with your subject. To this point, its also very helpful to have an excellent assistant. In this case I had Marek Lakatko and he made all the difference.
These two light setups are GREAT, but the light modifier you choose for your subject light is critical. In today's images I used a 46 inch Alien Bees Octobox. This is a very large softbox and produces excellent catch lights in the eyes. I move the light in to 3 feet or so of the subject, position it high and, typically, to the side. In some cases I'll come right over the top and front of the subject. The background light is an Alien Bees strobe with a 30 degree spot grid.
These folks are the founders of a consulting firm. We shot for nearly 5 hours capturing over 500 frames in the studio with different looks of clothing, backgrounds, etc.
Studio Portrait Photography: Matt Albiniak and Sierra Bravo
Hi Gang,
A shift back to studio work this week and next. Over the past month I shot two studio projects, the first of Matt Albiniak for his web brand identity which he wanted to link to his employer, Sierra Bravo. The key word to capture was "nerdtastic." I had a definite look and feel in mind for the shoot, asked Matt to bring some props and he did the rest. I hope you enjoy these!
Technical: Canon 1Ds Mark II, 70-200 mm lens, f/10, ISO400, 1/200 shutter speed. All lights/diffuser made by Alien Bees All strobe lighting (see lighting diagram): Key Light: Beauty dish with with diffuser, rim lights with flags and 30 degree spot grids, hair light with 10 degree spot grid, background light with 40 degree spot grid.
Studio Portrait Photography: Val Carpender
The next two weeks or so I'll be posting work from a recent project, creating images for a Comp Card. My model was Valerie Carpender, who has appeared in Vogue, Mademoiselle, and other national campaigns. Over a two week period we shot a mix of studio and location images.
A staple of the comp card is a natural light image. The day we were shooting was cloudy and snowing and I was very excited about the conditions, but I don't have great natural light in my studio. So I began searching around the warehouse and found a business on the first floor with giant widows from two directions and the owner was gracious enough to allow me to shoot in the space.
The size of the windows and the cloud/snow conditions produced the worlds largest softboxes. I'm including a lighting diagram so you have an idea of how I was using this
lighting situation. The model was facing directly into window 1, and a sidelight was coming from window 2. I was paying close attention to three issues: first, I wanted a little bit of fall off of light and positioned Val so the sidelight was falling off from camera right to camera left. Next, I wanted to bring a little bit of light on to the backside of Val's hair, so I positioned an assistant with a reflector in an attempt to capture some of the very diffuse natural light and reflect it back on to Val's hair. Third, I had to be very careful of the wall color reflecting on to Val's face and hair, and the reflector actually blocked some of this.
Another challenge was the lack of light. I actually had to shoot off the tripod, given the lens I was using. See below. The next two posts we'll be back in the studio with strobe lighting.
Technical: Canon 1Ds MkII, 70-200mm tele lens, ISO1600, f/6.3, 1/80th

Buffalo, NY RootScore Report September 2011
We conducted thousands of data, call, and text tests throughout the Buffalo area, then sorted the data so that you could see which carrier provided: 1) the fastest and most reliable data network, 2) the fewest dropped and blocked calls, and 3) the fastest text service.
Buffalo, NY at a glance
Of note, prior to Buffalo, Verizon had won the RootScore Award – Combined in the last 15 cities we have tested. Without LTE deployed in Buffalo, their scores were significantly lower than in other cities we have tested and this impacted their ranking in the combined category. The final standings are as follows:
Combined Performance
AT&T and T-Mobile delivered similar results in the combined category and share 1st place honors.
Buffalo, NY Combined Scores ?
Carrier | Score | +/- | |
1 T-Mobile | 11112 | 86.0 | 4.6 |
3 Verizon | 1112 | 63.0 | 2.3 |
4 Sprint | 112 | 43.3 | 3.4 |
Buffalo, NY Data Performance September 2011
Our data performance tests analyzed 1) how fast each carrier's network was able to download or upload files, and 2) how often we could successfully access a carrier's data network.
RootScore Award Winner
With the strongest performance in Buffalo, NY, AT&T earned the top spot in our data category.
Buffalo, NY Data Scores ?
Carrier | Score | +/- | |
2 T-Mobile | 1111 | 78.7 | 5.7 |
3 Verizon | 112 | 40.4 | 2.1 |
4 Sprint | 2 | 3.3 | 2.5 |
- AT&T recorded the fastest average download and upload speeds, while Verizon offered the most reliable data service.
Network Speed
- Sprint has not deployed WiMAX in Buffalo and therefore presented markedly slow speeds: their average download speed was the slowest we have ever recorded, for any carrier, in our report series to date.
- Verizon has not deployed LTE in Buffalo and the difference was especially notable: Verizon's speeds in Buffalo were significantly slower than in their LTE-enabled cities.
Data Success and Network Accessibility
- Sprint had the most data failures, registering a failure in 6.8% of the tests.
Buffalo, NY Call Performance September 2011
RootMetrics analyzed call performance by measuring both dropped calls and blocked calls (the inability to place an outgoing call).
RootScore Award Winner
All four carriers delivered statistically equal performances in the Buffalo market and there is therefore no RootScore award winner in the call category.
Buffalo, NY Call Scores ?
Carrier | Score | +/- | |
Verizon | 11111 | 95.9 | 2.4 |
Sprint | 11111 | 90.6 | 4.3 |
T-Mobile | 11111 | 90.5 | 4.3 |
Interesting Facts
- Blocked call and dropped call rates were relatively low for all the carriers compared to other recent market reports.
- At 1.5%, T-Mobile recorded the highest block call rate.
- At 1.1%, Sprint recorded the highest dropped call rate.
Buffalo, NY Text Performance September 2011
The RootMetrics text tests determined how long each carrier took to send or receive a text message (SMS).
RootScore Award Winner
With the strongest performance in Buffalo, NY, T-Mobile earned the top spot in our text category.
Buffalo, NY Text Scores ?
Carrier | Score | +/- | |
1 T-Mobile | 11111 | 98.6 | 1.4 |
3 Verizon | 1 | 16.2 | 2.5 |
4 Sprint | 1 | 10.2 | 3.0 |
- T-Mobile continued its streak of placing 1st in the text performance category.
- T-Mobile has placed 1st in the texting category in every market we have tested in 2011.
Texting Tidbit
- When comparing the time it took for a carrier to deliver a text to a phone within its own network, T-Mobile was twice as fast its closest competitor.
- AT&T was the second fastest carrier, both for delivering a text within a carrier's own network and for overall text delivery time.
RootMetrics' RootScore Reports provide an assessment of mobile performance that reflects consumer experience in a specific geographical area. To evaluate the Buffalo area (the Buffalo Urbanized Area as defined by the U.S. Census), we performed over 41,000 call, data, and text tests during the course of a 7-day period, covering all hours of the day and night. Tests were conducted using our RootScout app running from off-the-shelf, Android-based smartphones purchased from carrier stores. The phones were used as a typical consumer would use them and were not modified with any external antennas or other non-standard equipment. The data provided in this report reflect our findings in the Buffalo market during testing conducted from August 1 – August 7, 2011.
To ensure that testing aligns with the latest consumer experience and to provide each carrier with the chance to rate as highly as possible, RootMetrics utilizes the most advanced off-the-shelf smartphones available to the public at the time of our testing. Within the Buffalo market, we used the HTC myTouch® 4G Slide (T-Mobile 4G), the HTC Thunderbolt™ (Verizon 4G), the Samsung Epic™ 4G (Sprint 4G), and the Samsung Infuse™ 4G (AT&T 4G). All phone activity took place within the Buffalo market, with the exception of the phones used to receive the texts each carrier sent from Buffalo: receiver phones are located out of market in the RootMetrics main office in Bellevue, WA. The phones used in the receiver kit were the HTC Droid Eris (Verizon), the HTC Evo™ (Sprint), the Samsung Captivate™ (AT&T), and the Samsung Vibrant™ (T-Mobile).
The RootMetrics testing methodology centers on activities that consumers perform most often: making phone calls, uploading and downloading files from the internet, and sending and receiving text messages (SMS). To reflect how consumers use their phones on a daily basis, we conducted our tests both indoors (at approximately 110 locations) and outdoors during drive tests (covering nearly 1,700 miles within the Buffalo market). To prevent bias, RootMetrics utilizes a sampling methodology that randomly selects the indoor locations used for testing; drive testing takes place during travel between these random indoor locations.
To measure call performance, RootMetrics places a call from each carrier's phone and, if it is successful, attempts to hold that call open for two minutes. Both blocked and dropped call rates are determined from this test.
To analyze texting, RootMetrics measures the amount of time it takes each carrier to send a text to or receive a text from 1) a phone within its own network and 2) phones within the other carriers' networks.
During data performance tests, RootMetrics opens an HTTP connection, then measures the data transfer rate to determine average and max speeds. Because we remain committed to evaluating service from the perspective of consumers, we analyze goodput rather than throughput during our tests.Throughput includes the protocol information that accompanies data packets, whereas goodput only measures the "good" stuff—the actual data that you are interested in. For an analogy, think of goodput and throughput in terms of sending/receiving a package: you are interested in the item inside the package (the goodput), but it is delivered inside a box that includes packing materials (throughput includes this extra "overhead"). We measure data speeds with goodput, since this is the part of the data package that consumers are truly interested in.
RootScores are calculated using a proprietary algorithm factoring in results from call, data, and text. Within each category, based on various factors reflecting performance, a unique RootScore is calculated for each carrier, along with a statistical range within which the results of similarly conducted studies would most likely fall. Overlapping ranges are taken to indicate a statistical tie. In the specific case of data scoring, the data speed algorithm weights data speeds relative to the fastest speeds recorded in the market. Therefore, all data RootScores are proportional to the winner's score: the winning carrier sets the bar for data and the other carriers are scored in relation to it.
Throughout the course of 2011, RootMetrics will measure performance in major American wireless markets and will publish our findings along with corresponding RootScore Awards for each market.
About RootMetrics™
Bellevue, Washington-based RootMetrics is building a movement to create a more open mobile market that democratizes mobile performance data. Deploying sophisticated smartphone applications, RootMetrics collects performance measures such as network signal strength and data throughput speeds through data sourced from consumers via our Cell Phone Coverage Map app along with deeper testing conducted directly by RootMetrics in major metropolitan markets across the U.S. RootMetrics aggregates these metrics into easy-to-understand maps that rate each carrier's performance based on how consumers experience their service. This comparative data provides transparency into carrier performance down to extremely granular levels. RootMetrics is the only independent, single source of this comparative data that is made available to the public. For more information, visit: www.rootmetrics.com.

Chips to die for
Posted on 06 / 10 / 2013Went here on Sunday afternoon for late lunch. For a place serving meat their vegan effort is better than some veggie places I've eaten. We had thai burgers, with the best chunky chips I've ever had in my life. You wouldn't think this place was up to much from the look of the premises but give it a go, i'm sure you'd be pleasantly surprised.
Pros: cheap, cheerful

What Is Anosmia?
Anosmia is the partial or complete loss of the sense of smell. This loss may be temporary or permanent. Common conditions that irritate the nose's lining, such as allergies or a cold, can lead to temporary anosmia. More serious conditions that affect the brain or nerves, such as brain tumors or head trauma, can cause permanent loss of smell. Old age sometimes causes anosmia.
Anosmia is usually not serious. But it can have a profound effect on a person's quality of life. People with anosmia may not be able fully taste foods. They may lose interest in eating. This can lead to weight loss or malnutrition. People with anosmia may also become depressed because they are not able to smell or taste pleasurable foods.
What Causes Anosmia?
Anosmia is frequently caused by a swelling or blockage in the nose. This can prevent odors from getting to the top of the nose. Anosmia is sometimes caused by a problem with the system that sends signals from the nose to the brain. The main causes of anosmia include:
Irritation to the Mucus Membranes Lining the Nose
Irritation to the nose's lining may result from:
A cold is the most common cause for partial and temporary loss of smell. In these cases, the anosmia will go away on its own.
Blockage of the Nasal Passages
Loss of smell can occur if something is physically blocking the passage of air into the nose. This may include:
Brain or Nerve Damage
There are receptors inside the nose that send information through nerves to the brain. Anosmia can occur if any part of this pathway is damaged. There are many conditions that can cause this damage, including:
Rarely, people are born with no sense of smell because of a genetic condition. This is called congenital anosmia.
How Is Anosmia Diagnosed?
The loss of smell is difficult to measure. A doctor or healthcare provider may ask you some questions about your current symptoms, examine your nose, perform a complete physical examination, and ask about your health history.
He or she may ask questions about when the problem started, if all or only some types of odors are affected, and whether or not you can taste food. Depending on your answers, your doctor may also perform one or more of the following tests:
What Are the Complications of Anosmia?
People with anosmia may lose interest in food and eating. This could lead to malnutrition and weight loss.
Patients with anosmia should make sure to have functioning smoke alarms in their homes at all times. They should also be cautious with food storage and the use of natural gas because they may have trouble detecting spoiled foods and gas leaks. Recommended precautions include:
How Is Anosmia Treated?
Treatment depends on the cause. If the loss of smell occurs with a cold, an allergy, or a sinus infection, it will typically clear up on its own in a few days. You should consult your doctor if the anosmia does not clear up once the cold or allergy symptoms have subsided.
Treatments that may help resolve anosmia caused by nasal irritation include:
Loss of smell caused by nasal obstruction can be treated by removing whatever is obstructing your nasal passage. This removal may involve operations to remove nasal polyps, straighten the nasal septum, or clear out the sinuses (NHS, 2012).
Elderly people are more susceptible to losing their sense of smell permanently. There is no treatment available currently for people with congenital anosmia.
Patients with partial loss of their sense of smell can add concentrated flavoring agents to food to improve their enjoyment of the food.

When I have said my evening prayer,
And my clothes are folded on the chair,
And mother switches off the light,
I'll still be six years old tonight.
But, from the very break of day,
Before the children rise and play,
Before the darkness turns to gold
Tomorrow, I'll be seven years old.
Seven kisses when I wake,
Seven candles on my cake!

The cliché that you'll meet people from all walks of life at university is usually an accurate one – and many will come from places you didn't even know existed as well. Whether your friends are from another UK city or Australia, take advantage of the travelling opportunities provided by knowing such a mix of people. Stay with new acquaintances and you'll come out of it with new perspectives, language skills and, often, a full stomach. You'll have to pay to get there, but the accommodation and the personal tour guide are free. Captions by Lauren Razavi.

When should abortion be legal?
Vote now in Hazard:
I dont think it should ever be legal. I think that if it is in a rape case or other unfortunate case, I think the mother should go with adoption instead of killing an innocent baby. It's wrong in any case.
its inhumane and not any humans decision weather or not the circumstances!
"Beautiful Days..Beautiful Life" Since: Jan 11 2,134 Indianapolis / Hazard |
I think it should be a womans choice. Its her body & she should be the one to decide whether abortion is right for her or not.
United States |
If the mother is raped it it understandable. But other then that it is cruel and heartless to take such a precious life that was sent from God. Plain and simple if you don't want a baby use protection or just don't lay down and spread your legs.
The bottom line is this. It's none of your business what she does. She will answer for her choices not you. The same as everyone of us will answer for things we have done. If you disagree with abortion then don't have one but don't tell me I can't. It's none of your business. It is a medical procedure. Better not to be born than to be beat to death, sexually assaulted, starved and neglected.
Search; Republicans for Choice.Org
Search; Republican Majority for Choice.Org Republican Party members have been supporting a woman's right to an abortion for years. At the SAME time the GOP has been using this issue to get votes for years. If my wife and I had five little kids and she was pregnant with the sixth and more than one doctor said she had a 60% chance of dying if she continued the pregnancy full term, I would want an abortion for her. If I had a 13 year old daughter who was gang raped and now pregnant, I would want an abortion for her. Rather than being born to a crack head prostitute mother that did NOT want me, I would prefer to be aborted. |
Even without having 5 little ones if a woman cannot raise a child for whatever reason then she should not be forced to have a baby. No one should be forced to have a child and give it up for adoption either. The youngest child to have a baby in my community that I know of is twelve years old. They can't be tried in adult court because they aren't mature enough. So we should make this 12 year old have a baby because "someone" doesn't agree with abortion? In my opinion, if you can prevent pregnancy then abortion becomes a moot issue doesn't it? Unless you are with a child 24/7 you have no idea if they are having sex. Have they been taken advantage of by an older child? Are they trying to fill a void in their life with sex? Birth control should not be a tabboo subject. Would you rather become a grandmother or great grandmother when a baby is born to a chile who isn't ready to raise it and no one is willing to help support it? Everyone wants entitlement programs cut to "balance the budget". That is everything from social security to SSI, SSDI, medicare, medicaid, head start, your local health clinic, food stamps. Who is going to give that baby what it needs when no one in the family can support it? And I'm sorry, but in our society there isn't a lot of support for a woman or child who gives away their baby for adoption. And it's cruel to make a child go through a pregnancy and birth and then have to give up the child. Even if they aren't ready to be an adult that is just another trauma for them to endure. And again, the bottom line is to prevent that pregnancy, not to have to end it.
If someone is mature enough to have sex, then that person is mature enough to take care of the baby... it's not the unborn baby's fault that it's mom decided to have sex... so why kill the innocent baby?
Well in that case shouldn't muder be legal? I mean if a woman can have the choice to have her child killed or not.. then shouldn't a murderer be able to choose if he wants to kill someone or not? It's the same thing! |
If a woman isn't ready for a child she doesn't need to open her legs... easy as that.. its not the baby's fault that it's mommy is a wh ore.. |
Oh that's a brilliant answer. Don't have sex if you can't have the baby. You have to be a man. First of all, it's a cell, not a baby. A zygote. And if you can PREVENT pregnancy then abortion is a moot issue. And when the day comes that both parents actually pay their child support then the world will be a better place. Right now children are raised in poverty because of non support. You don't want a woman to spread her legs but I bet you would scream like hell if you were to have to pay child support for a child. And most men anymore will scream that they don't know if they are the father. The bottom line again is, you worry about your body and let me worry about mine. And if I can't go through with the pregnancy that is none of your business.
God is always in control, pregnancy or not. When you change what he has allowed you are interfering with His plan. Rape or otherwise.
Exactly!!!! |
And it still isn't your choice. You choose if you want an abortion and leave everyone else alone. It isn't your body. And if God is in control I guess the abortion will fail won't it? It is none of your business what choice I make.
What about the baby's choice? Have you ever asked her if she would like a chance at life? Just because you made several bad choices doesn't give you the right to deny her an opportunity to grow up and be happy. People have become so ignorant in their selfishness.
Christian is so right! There are so many people that can't even have kids, and then there are the people who aren't careful when they have sex and abort their baby, a baby that someone would love to have! It's selfishness!
& southern lady.. your right....it isn't our body...and it isn't the pregnant lady's body either.. it's the baby's body..it's the baby that is being killed... not the mother. |
Do you support the use of birth control pills? Do you support the use of an IUD? Many of the people who scream the loudest about abortion do NOT believe that birth control pills OR Inter-Uterine Devices should be legal in the United States. AND, if they have their way, based on their religious beliefs, the sale and use of birth control pills and IUD's will be illegal. AND, we will have millions of babies born that nobody wants to pay for, or support. |
Kids have sex at eleven and twelve years old and many even before that. Do you consider them mature, just because they had sex? |
no I don't, but they think they are mature enough to have sex, so they are mature enough to raise a baby! |
