the private sector unions don't concern me. They are on the decline and their membership was passed in numbers by public sector unions years ago. With strict labor laws in place for decades and lawyers just salivating at the chance for wrongful termination, descrimination etc lawsuits....their primary function is too boost salaries and benefits....this is not sustainable in a global economy.....Twinkies go bye bye just like Eastern airlines and so many more....it's funny how private sector prolonged strikes are so uncommon these days....the world has changed ....they are irrevelant. The real threat is public service unions...
ABSOLUTE home run....what's discouraging is 47% of this country doesn't care, understand or comprehend this inevitable path. Now Romney is being chastised for pointing out the obvious. This country cannot afford the next 4 years of 'Double standards'

Online Reservations
Had breakfast twice and was a convienient place from grand Hyatt. Will consider staying at olive 8 next time. Almond crusted French toast - awesome! Fresh orange juice - perfect! Service professional and welcoming.
Urbane has a nice modern feel to the interior...clean metal accents and glass with enough wood to provide warmth. The location is well suited for a meal in conjunction with downtown shopping or a show at the Paramount Theater. The food was very good to excellent. Most items have an "eat local" kind of flair. Appetizers, soups, salads, main dishes and deserts were all well balanced and interesting to the palate. My 13 year old daughter had no trouble finding options that suited her. For a downtown dining establishment, my wife and I felt Urbane offered good value for the money.
I had lunch at Urbane with 3 friends before a show at ACT. The location is great in the lobby of the Hyatt. They had a nice menu and full bar. Our only complaint was that our server rarely visited our table and seemed put out when we asked for separate checks, even though she was standing around talking to the host staff. We had tomato soup, chorizo soup, crab mac-n-cheese, spinach salad, cobb salad, and grilled cheese. We also had wine and a bloody mary. The crab mac-n-cheese was oh-so-yummy! Loved the tomato soup and both salads. Bloody Mary had just the right amount of spice.
Urbane specializes in delicious, creative, fresh local food. The room is very loud and entered through an awkward, narrow bar area, but the food is delicious, healthy. and unique. My wife and I shared the best crab cake we have ever eaten. The seafood and red meat entrees we have had have all been outstanding.
great value for money, excellent local beer selection
This is a hotel restaurant, but it is in a high class Hyatt so the quality of people and food is great. The environment reminds me of a 5 star restaurant, the staff as well. I would recommend anyone to put Urbane on their "must try" list.
Fun and chic, with yummy craft cocktails. Prix fixe menu was a good option, and mussels come in a meal portion.
Our food and drinks were all very good. The thing that stood out to me the most, though, was the incredibly friendly service from the second I walked in the door. I was a little bit late for my reservation, and they accommodated me anyway with a smile. Our table had several specialty diet requests and all were accommodated happily and with no trouble. We really appreciated the top-notch service and would recommend Urbane.
There wer 4 of us for Sunday brunch. The service was unhurried and attentive. The eggs Florentine, Fritatta and eggs Benedict were all hits with our group!
This was our second time dining at Urbane and we were not disappointed. Food is great and our waitress was wonderful about my food allergies. And their homemade ice cream is to die for! I'm not a dessert fan, but at Urbane, the ice cream is so worth it!
Innovative menu, sleek décor and knowledgeable staff...what more could you ask for? The complimentary still or sparkling water was a nice touch. Our server was charming and knew her stuff. My wife and I shared several small plates: the beet salad was refreshing, and the pistachio nuts a nice change from the usual walnuts. The mac 'n cheese with bacon and crab (both optional) was good, although a bit too rich. Next time we'll pick one or the other to add to the delicious pasta dish. We finished with the short rib sliders. Yummy, but I would have liked more slaw. Overall, though, a solid 4.5 stars.
Great location if you want a place to have dinner at before going to a show at the Paramount Theater. The food is tasty, and the service was good.
Great food! Brought one child wrong item and had to wait. Very apologetic and paid for the plate. Not up-tight about kids.
It was an enjoyable time at Urbane. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. Will definitely come back again!
Great selection of fresh locally sourced food, appropriate portion sizes, and modern-upscale Happy Hour/dinner ambiance.
Had dined here before and loved it; glad the encore was just as satisfactory. Asked for a quiet table to catch up with a friend visiting from Switzerland and was gracefully accommodated. We were not rushed and very surprised when we realized we had spent 2 1/2 hrs. lingering over delicious food and wine. Will definitely return and/or recommend this restaurant. Thank you.
Food was surprisingly good for a hotel restaurant. Would definitely go back!!
Urbane has really tasty bacon. I usually get the grilled cheese sandwich and ask them to put extra bacon on it. It's delicious. I'm a little bummed they aren't offering the Beecher's mac and cheese anymore; you could get bacon on that as well and I can only imagine its deliciousness. It seemed to take a little longer than necessary for our food to come out, but since we were a group of six, maybe that's not surprising. I liked that I was able to substitute a caprese salad for the chips that normally come with the sandwich. It got a little loud, but for a tasty lunch it was totally worth it.
We wanted a dining location within walking distance to the Paramount with a nice wine list and excellent food. We found both here. They even had a special menu in honor of the show we saw at the paramount that was wonderful! Loved the steelhead, kale salad and the pana cotta. Johnny our server was delightful. We did find ourselves looking for an extra coat or sweater as it was much too chilly ... Turn the heat on!
We went to an early dinner before a show and enjoyed some happy hour priced drinks. The food was good, and the service was great. The noise level was fairly loud, but it was happy hour and there was lots of people grabbing dinner after work. Not sure how it would be later, but if you want a romantic dinner, I wouldn't go at happy hour time. We could still hear each other though.
What a great find for a meal before a Saturday matinee at the Paramount, which is just a block away! The menu is varied and has many gluten-free options, including bread. Prices are below average for this part of Seattle. Service was perfect. I enjoyed the prettiest yogurt parfait, including 3 types of berries and delicious granola. My friend had eggs Florentine. We will definitely return and I'm anxious to try their dinner menu. The room is sleek and contemporary and I imagine it would be lovely in the evening.
I had brunch with five others at Urbane. Everyone appeared to enjoy their food. I had a pancake, steel cut oats, and a yogurt and fruit parfait. My pancake was a bit chewy. The oats were good, and I was given the option of having soy milk, which I appreciated. The parfait seemed to have plain yogurt, because it came off a bit sour. Portion size was good - I could not eat all of it. Maybe my eyes were bigger than my stomach. My wife had the eggs benedict. She is a bit of an eggs benedict snob, and she said she enjoyed Urbane's version. Prices were reasonable for downtown Seattle - the bill for the wife and I came to about $40.
The mixed green salad was very good. Loved the hazelnuts. Carrot ginger soup amazing. Wait staff friendly and attentive.
Love this place because the food is so fresh and it all comes from local farms. The menu is different each time I go there and they have a nice selection of wine.
Great food and excellent service. Several vegitarian options which is very nice...
Very loud place. Had the $18 burger and it was worth every penny.
This is a very good location for a nice moderately priced restaurant a short walk to the Paramount. Food is very good but a very small menu. We let our server know when we got there at 6 that we were going to the 7:30 show & barely made it. We spent a good deal of time starting at 7:10 trying to track her down and had to ask several people to find her and when she did come back, she seemed shocked we needed our check to go to the show (she'd been gone a long time) and the end of the meal and paying just seemed like a big rush that it didn't need to be--we had been done with our meal for quite a while. Otherwise, we all enjoyed sharing many appetizer items as most of our meal (great squash soup special, wonderful sliders, crab cakes etc.
Party of five with young child. Fun and varied kids menu. The appetizers were lovely -- crab cakes, bun-free sliders with horseradish ... Pork chop and halibut with frisee delicious. Would have liked to have stayed for dessert and coffee but dinner came so slowly (1 hour from ordering) and we needed to catch a bus home.
Visited for Restaurant Week. Had the Beet Salad, Steelhead, and Banana Ice Cream. All were very good. Took a child along with me, and it was appropriate to have him along. Many business diners as well. Dress was a bit nicer than casual for most people. Service was okay - minimal interactoin, nothing outstanding but I wasn't left waiting for anything either. Close to Paramount Theater, so a great place to grab a meal before seeing a performance/show.
Food and menu versatile with options for everyone. Wine list extensive. Excellent staff always eager to please. Nice area.
Happy coincidence of Paramount tickets and restaurant week. The space is sleek but comfortable, and the food was exceptional. The tuna tartar was perfect, and pairing pomegranate seeds with grilled steelhead is brilliant. It's in the Hyatt, a short two blocks from the Paramount Theater.
I had the black cod which was absolutely delicious. My friend had the butternut squash an goat cheese crostada. Although, the crust was absolutely delicious, she found the filling to be a bit dry. It was still good but if it would have been a bit more moist, it would have been much better. We come to Urbane frequently and have never been disappointed. Always great service and wonderful selection of food to choose from.
Reservation was for 6 and were seated promptly on a Saturday evening. We opted to have several of the starters with a salad since before heading over to the Paramount Theater, but they were already out of the mussels dish. All in all, the starters were ok. My biggest gripe was the limited wine by the glass selection and somewhat overpriced when compared with other establishments. Can't beat the location if heading to the Paramount for a show. Next time, I may stop by for a glass of wine after the show.
We ordered the mixed green salad with quince, trio of sliders, side of Mac n cheese with crab and the steak. Mixed greens were good, though overdressed; the Mac n cheese is awesome and the side dish size is a very sizeable portion, meant to be shared or just eat that as you meal. The short rib sliders were tasty, a little dry, the horseradish sauce a nice complement, pickled slaw a little too powerful for the meat. Lacked salt. The biggest disappointment - the 39$ rib eye was tough, left most of it - carved and cut around through pieces of gristle and fat. Very disappointing. When we mentioned it to the waiter - all he said was oh - sorry. Over 100$ dinner for 2 with drinks and all you can do is say "sorry?" - won't be going back.
Everything was exceptional but it was a little loud for the business dinner we were having.
I went with a friend before a show at the Paramount. The menu had lots of great choices, all quite creative and the ones we had were well-prepared. I had the chicken with rose/Harissa glaze, which had just a little heat, and the accompaniments were well-thought out. The service took a while. That was ok. Since we'd left plenty of time, and they paid good attention to the schedule of all the theater diners.
I dined at Urbane with 3 other people. I thought my salad and entree were delicious. My three friends, who each ordered different entrees, loved their dinner too. Great place to eat.
Locals are missing out on this place. It was fun of tourists enjoying well prepared food for reasonable prices in an inspired modern atmosphere. The presentation of the dishes are well above the price point. Don't be off put by the out of place bright blue glass on the outside. You can't see if from the inside during the day and not from anywhere at night.
Nothing spectacular, but a solid, varied menu that will have something delicious for everybody.
We were a large group, and the menu was broad enough for everyone to find something. The highlights of the evening were the Mac & Cheese, Sweet Potatoes with Pork Belly, the Double Burger, the Onion Dip and the Roasted Broccoli. Plus, they made some really good Manhattans. The server was superb; he made great recommendations. Plus, he and the staff were always there to fill water and inquire whether we needed anything else. Overall, it was very good.

By Pauline Jelinek The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Saturday mail may soon go the way of the Pony Express and penny postcards.
The Postal Service said Wednesday that it plans to cut back to five-day-a-week deliveries for everything except packages to stem its financial losses in a world radically reordered by the Internet.
"Our financial condition is urgent," said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe.
But Congress has voted in the past to bar the idea of eliminating Saturday delivery, and his announcement immediately drew protests from some lawmakers.
The plan, which is to take effect in August, brought vigorous objections from farmers, the letter carriers' union and others.
The Postal Service, which suffered a $15.9 billion loss in the past budget year, said it expected to save $2 billion annually with the Saturday cutback. Mail such as letters and magazines would be affected.
Delivery of packages of all sizes would continue six days a week. Mail would still be delivered to post office boxes on Saturday, and post offices now open on Saturday would remain open.
The plan accentuates one of the agency's strong points: Package delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010, officials say, while the delivery of letters and other mail has plummeted. Email has decreased the mailing of paper letters, but online purchases have increased package shipping, forcing the Postal Service to adjust to customers' new habits.
The Postal Service is in the midst of a major restructuring throughout its retail, delivery and mail-processing operations. Since 2006, it has cut annual costs by about $15 billion, reduced the size of its career workforce by 193,000, or 28 percent, and consolidated more than 200 mail-processing locations, officials say.
Fayetteville's mail processing operations are likely to close in 2014, though local officials still lobby to save them.
Tony McKinnon, president of the Fayetteville chapter of the American Postal Workers Union, said Wednesday he is waiting for specifics on how the local postal branches would be affected. But he does not put much stock in a Postal Service study that found seven in 10 Americans support eliminating Saturday letter deliveries.
"I think the way they shaped the question was, 'Would you like to have reduced Saturday delivery, or have no post office?' " said McKinnon. "If you have that choice, you'll say, 'OK, save the post office and we'll do without Saturday delivery.' "
Opinions on the plan were mixed among Fayetteville postal customers Wednesday. Jerome Scott is an insurance agent who said he uses the post office every day. He said the Postal Service needs to address the cost of providing retirement benefits.
Most of the service's red ink comes from a 2006 law forcing it to pay $11 billion a year into future retiree health benefits, something no other agency does. Without that and related labor expenses, the mail agency sustained an operating loss of $2.4 billion last year, lower than the previous year.
"Somehow, we need to turn that around," Scott said. "If we do that, I don't think we'd have a problem. But no one wants to touch that sacred cow."
The Postal Service is an independent agency - it does not receive tax money for its day-to-day operations - but is subject to congressional control. Congress has stymied the service's efforts to close some post offices in small towns.
Congress has long included a ban on five-day-only delivery in its spending bills, but because the federal government is now operating under a temporary spending measure rather than an appropriations bill, Donahoe says it's the agency's interpretation that it can make the change itself.
Two Republican lawmakers, Rep. Darrell Issa of California and Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, said they had sent a letter to leaders of the House and Senate in support of eliminating Saturday mail.
But Alaska Democratic Sen. Mark Begich called it "bad news for Alaskans and small business owners" who, he said, need timely delivery to rural areas.
President Obama's spokesman, Jay Carney, said the White House is evaluating the plan.
The Postal Service's financial losses for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 were more than triple the $5.1 billion loss in the previous year. Having reached its borrowing limit, the agency is operating with little cash on hand.
At the Green Street branch downtown, customer Brian Banks said he could deal with the Saturday delivery elimination.
"While I'll be disappointed to lose delivery of mail on Saturday to my home, if that's what they've got to do to control costs, it's just something we're going to have to live with," Banks said.
"It can be inconvenient," said Lisa Johnson of Garland. "I don't think that's fair."
For Stephen Miles, the change won't hurt a bit.
"I don't get anything but junk mail on Saturdays anyway," he said.

Man Arrested After Shooting Child
Everett, Washington (KIRO) A 26–year–old man is accused of hog–tying a little girl and shooting her with a pellet gun.
"That is so sick for anybody to hurt a grandchild at any age." Stetson Tedder was arrested after investigators found probable cause of second–degree assault of a child and unlawful imprisonment. According to police reports, the four–year–old's grandmother noticed red marks all over the child' body and reported it to police. The girl told her grandmother tedder tied her up and shot her with the pellet gun as punishment. The gun used in the alleged incident is an airsoft gun, which shoots plastic pellets. The Everett Herald reports a judge set Tedder's bail at $25,000 Friday. The girl has been placed in the custody of child protective services. |

Right about the time you send out exploration ships to meet civs on other continents and right about the time you get open borders with those civs, your scouts become obsolete and you can't make any more.
There is never a period in the game when a scout truly becomes unnecessary, because there is no tech (Satellites anyone?) that reveals the map.
You can't trade/buy/steal maps.
You can't use espionage to get city visibility.

Average Review: Number of reviews: 1 Patty from near Chicago The best bridal satin I am a professional costumer, and I use Hancock's bridal satin for everything. It can be machine washed and comes back to life after a pressing. I use it not only for wedding dresses, but making period costumes and men's tuxedos. I always keep a few yards on hand in my costume shop. It stands up to wear and tear, and resists wrinkles. I go out of my way to buy this product. |

Urban Outfitters Accused of Misleading Investors Regarding Sales Growth
Shares of Urban Outfitters fell $3.82 per share, or more than 14%, on September 10, 2013, after the company disclosed that second quarter 2014 sales in the company's Urban Outfitters Group had grown only 5.2%, rather than the 9% that defendants led the market to expect. In addition, the company revealed that overall sales revenues and profits were down because of markdowns in the quarter.
According to the complaint, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company's business, operations, and prospects. Defendants failed to inform investors that the company was aware of significant declines in comparable sales growth in its Urban Outfitters Group and, as a result, Urban Outfitters was forced to discount all clearance items by an additional 30% during Labor Day weekend 2013.

Accused killer buried with military honors
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Sacrifice. That's what all service men and women are prepared to do when they sign up to serve the country.
Some of the fallen at Fort Custer National Cemetery in Battle Creek, Mich., died while serving their country.
Among the veterans buried there is Michael Anderson.
As the story goes, Anderson is accused of shooting five people and killing Alicia Koehl at Villa Paree Apartment Complex on May 30.
"The person who murdered my wife has been given military honors and is buried in a national cemetery up in Michigan," Paul Koehl said. "I'm very upset."
Now, Koehl's husband and two young children visit her gravesite every day.
Paul Koehl said the man who ended his wife's life never should've been buried in the Michigan cemetery. The Koehl family said they'd like to see Anderson's body disinterred.
"I am extremely upset by the fact that he has been buried there, which is a violation," Koehl said.
The crux of the controversy centers on the rules for interment outlined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The ineligibility guidelines say in part, "Federal officials may not inter in Veterans cemeteries persons who are shown by clear and convincing evidence to have committed a Federal or State capital crime but were unavailable for trial due to death or flight to avoid prosecution."
Police say Anderson took his own life that day in May.
But somehow, he still he was buried at Fort Custer National Cemetery in Battle Creek, Mich.
"I've been told it was a mistake and the (Anderson) family didn't give all the information, or they just lied about information that was asked of them," Paul Koehl said.
Thursday night, The Department of Veterans Affairs deputy press secretary released the following statement:
"The Department of Veterans Affairs takes seriously its sacred responsibility to honor Veterans and other eligible individuals with final resting places in national shrines.
"VA works closely with funeral directors to ensure that those we will inter have not committed a capital crime which would make them ineligible for interment. In this instance, records show we were informed by the funeral home that no capital crime was committed and VA proceeded with scheduling the internment and burial.
"Cemetery officials at Fort Custer National Cemetery in Battle Creek, Michigan found out about the crime in Indianapolis only after the interment was complete. VA is reviewing this matter.
"VA sends its deepest condolences to the Koehl family and all those affected by this tragedy."
Whatever the case, Paul Koehl doesn't want it to happen to anyone else. He knows first hand, burying someone you love is hard.
"I was not prepared to be a single parent, so it is very challenging," he said while overlooking his wife's grave. "I'm not afraid to tell anybody, I miss her cooking every day."

what's weird to me is lady gaga could do the exact same thing, and people would eat that **** up.
#286 to #53
elcreepo (08/27/2013) [-]
Gaga has a small sense of dignity or at least class. She also wasn't a role model for tween girls, nor did she ever claim to be, her performances have always been weird, slightly ***** and so there's less shock value there than there is in someone who pretended to promote good family values.
#107 to #53
talosknight (08/27/2013) [-]
See, Gaga has a different style. She relied on that shock as an art form. And in fairness, she does execute her style with a degree of art and class, regardless of how odd and abstract it seems to us. Miley Cyrus acted like a 16 year old who snuck into a nightclub, and was actually quite disgusting to watch, especially if we consider who she was not five years ago.

A useless waste, eh? Here! Take this free gift :P
I fear the day people start playing at a 3500 level..

Chess in itself is useless, Go jump in a lake, pfren :P
Thanks, I enjoy these games a lot.
As do I... seems that some people don't find a point to it, but what do they know. XD
the purpose of this game is the same reason why people study grandmaster games.. Are you saying that's useless also?
Not just one game... I've played approximately fifty for this topic!
1.h4 2.Nh3, not Rh3
Ohh. Sorry about that one, I missed it! I'll get to that one, too.
Well, the Fried Liver was a match that, in my eyes, proves Houdini's not just a chess engine, but a brilliant one. It allows its opponent to strive for a material advantage, and then regains the material by almost tearing Black's King off the board. It looks a lot like what happened when the beast played through the Muzio Gambit, earlier in this forum post!
And, upon request, 1. h4 e5 2. Nh3.
Houdini starts looking for a kingside attack, and Dragon obligingly castles kingside... throwing itself happily into the flames! It rarely found the correct defenses, and played inferior moves that allowed the beast's attack to become even stronger. Dragon didn't help itself at all by exchanging its Queen for a Rook (which was captured later for free) and a Knight.........
Next up is Critter 1.4, which, strangely enough, is rated higher than Critter 1.6. The two opponents seem to play more cautiously than normal, forcing the game into quiet lines. This works to Black's advantage, and Critter, like Stockfish, obtained good results. Unfortunately, Critter did not possess the same spirit that Stockfish demonstrated, and settled for a draw after a boring midgame.
And, finally, a game against Komodo, Houdini's strongest competitor. Komodo is regarded as a very good positional player, and is currently rated at 2982.
As for the game itself:Komodo made a speculative sacrifice, a highly unusual idea for a chess program! At the time, both players had decided that the best outcome from it was a draw... but then Komodo saw that Houdini had apparently made a mistake in its defense! It played a variation that forced White to give back material, and both players' opinions changed back and forth, from drawn to lost for White to drawn . . . Houdini then gave the piece back for a perpetual check, and that finished matters. This is probably the strongest game played so far, in the entirety of this post.
Houdini 1.5a (3017) vs. Komodo 3 (2982)
Houdini has now played against several different chess engines using the King's Gambit, some of which were in the top 10 of the IPON rating list. It scored a win against everyone but its 3 best opponents, who scored two draws and a win against Houdini. Compared to Houdini's usual results, it is fairly safe to assume the opening is at fault -- but note that even then, it took some very strong playing to defeat the beast.
what time control have you been giving them?
Six seconds per move. I've considered increasing it to thirty, though.
Try the Allgaier Gambit, a variation of the King's Gambit. It it supposedly unsound but I would like to see if it really is.
Engines do not play speculative sacrifices, period. They're all about calculating. More likely the sac appeared to be speculative to lower-rated human observers.

Huddersfield Giants have rejected a proposed swap deal with Sydney Roosters for Australian forward Luke O'Donnell.
The 32-year-old former Kangaroos back rower still has a year left on his contract with the Giants but Roosters recruitment manager Peter O'Sullivan confirmed to the Australian media that his club were interested in acquiring his services.
However, the Sydney club, now coached by former Catalan Dragons boss Trent Robinson, have already reached their salary cap following the capture of internationals Michael Jennings and Sonny Bill Williams and needed to offload players in order to bring in O'Donnell.
Fringe second rower Tom Symonds, 23, was thought to be one of the players offered to Huddersfield in exchange.
Giants managing director Richard Thewlis said: "Given media reports in Sydney, I feel duty bound to comment on a matter that I feel would have been best kept confidential but now seems to be growing into a media frenzy.
"Our head coach Paul Anderson was contacted by the Roosters suggesting a swap deal involving Luke O'Donnell but none of the options presented to us were deemed satisfactory.
"We of course informed Luke personally as these things seem to have ways of leaking out and he is very comfortable with our actions in respect of what occurred.
"He remains a Giant and will face London Broncos on Sunday at the John Smith's Stadium which is where all of our energies are focused and not in expanding upon potentially destabilising player movement rumours.
"It is particularly disappointing that the reporting has taken the focus away from what was a magnificent opening for our club by winning at St Helens for the first time in 35 years and in a manner that was so eye-catching."
O'Donnell has made just 23 appearances in two years because of injury and underwent a shoulder reconstruction at the end of last season yet made an impressive return in Huddersfield's 40-4 win at Saints last Saturday.

A brand new study is the first to link in mothers' weight during pregnancy to the chances of her child developing autism.
According to the journal pediatrics women who are obese during pregnancy.
Are about 67% more likely to have an autistic child doctor Marc Siegel is a member of the box in his medical eighteen he joins me now doctor -- great to see you good morning Allison ever since these alarming new autism numbers came out showing that one in every 88 children now has autism it seems like there -- a lot of new theories -- studies cropping up about what causes it.
What do you make of this study showing that a mother's obesity could.
Cause you know -- so we've been looking very carefully on what the effects on the mother are.
In terms of autism developing later and that seems to be the holy Grail here because what.
Women are exposed to when they are have children in the in the womb seems to lead to an increase whether it's risks in the environment.
This big study published in pediatrics today found that looking -- over a thousand kids that there's a 60%.
Increased risk of autism or autistic spectrum disorder in women that are obese and 34%.
Of women of childbearing years in this country are obese.
9% of diabetes there was an increased risk with diabetes and -- Chris -- -- with high blood pressure and and whopping risk.
-- obesity.
Of course the problem tickets that these findings -- we all know lots of moms who -- then who have autistic children.
That's true and we also don't know by the way even if this is real and that's what we call an observational study because it doesn't have a cause and effect.
It doesn't prove that being being obese causes.
But that the the increase may be due to -- single hormone insulin it may be that when you're obese you need to make more -- -- insulin insulin is an inflammatory.
Marker in other words it causes the body to go to metabolic overdrive.
And it may increase your risk of autism a lot of -- there.

They're great for a quick run to the supermarket or for the long walks in the park.
The Maya Wrap's wide tail allows you to nurse discreetly while out and about, whenever and wherever you may be. Or use it to cover up your baby from the sun while sleeping. The wrap even includes a built in pocket to store your personal belongings and is small enough to fit into a diaper bag when not in use.
Beautifully coloured with non-toxic dyes, the Maya Wrap is absolutely eye-catching. Maya Wraps are available in many genderless colours and are fully adjustable, making it a great carrier to share with your partner or other caregivers.
All Maya Wraps are made from 100% woven cotton, which is a wonderful fabric if you are carrying a toddler as it does not stretch much, making the wrap a snugger and safer place to be. Maya Wraps are recommended for babies 8 to 35 pounds.

Former Rent-A-Center President Bud Gates To Speak At WSU Entrepreneurship Forum
Rent-A-Center, (RCII) and Business Imaging Systems of Okalahoma City received the System Integration Achievement Award from the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) at it's CDIA+ annual awards on Monday.
This award is given to companies and individuals that have demonstrated a commitment to furthering the application of document imaging through an adherence to best practices and industry standards.
advertise here
Rent-A-Center,(RCII) processes more than 4,000 invoices a day. Its account payable system was time and labor intensive.
Business Imaging Systems designed and implemented a new accounts payable system based on document imaging and unstructured forms technology that cut Rent-A-Center invoice processing time in half for regular invoices and by up to 75 percent for invoices from high-volume suppliers. Labor costs were significantly reduced as was the cost of office supplies used to store files. The new automated document imaging system was so successful it is being replicated in 15 other departments where comparable time and cost savings are expected. Kristi Toupal, from Rent-A-Center, and Dan Rotelli, CDIA+, from Business Imaging Systems, accepted the System Integration Award.

Five Common MMO-C Misconceptions:
1. If I'm burnt out on WoW, the game must be less exciting than it was in BC/Wrath.
2. If Guild Wars 2 can do it, WoW should have done it 4-9 years ago.
3. Anything I don't get free is another way to milk the players for money.
4. "Don't hate me because I disagree" is a good way to shut down dissenting arguments.
5. GC is the root of all WoW's problems. Now that he is gone the game will be perfect again.
Theyre gonna do the naga expansion before the burning legion expansion, vice versa it would make less sense. So I think its gonna be Azshara themed, tough not sure if "dark below" will be what its called.
"Give us MONEY, Goddammit!!!" -Xbox One
1. Warcraft movie cinematic teaser which they showed at ComicCon this summer (maybe)
2. No Titan info, they pushed that to 2015/16, unless they're keeping the same storyline and just want to tease the lore.
3. D3 expansion info
4. WoW expansion info
5. SC2 expansion info
6. Hearthstone info about official release date out of beta
That's it.
A) You aren't offering opinions. You are trying to get a reaction.
B) You are posting on a WoW specific thread, on a website that is 99% about WoW.
We get it, you hate WoW... blah blah blah. Thanks for bringing this incredibly original and well conceived critique to our attention.
I predict no matter what is announced there will be tons of bitching and whining about it.
I was convinced of the burning legion, but I'm slowly thinking it will be Azshara and Naga focused, which is a bit disappointing to me, but not all bad, I'm still interested in it, you should see custom models on Youtube that people have created for Azshara etc, amazing talent, better than blizz in a lot of cases.
A lot of people think we will get Titan info, personally I think the chance of anything being said about Titan is approx 0%, but that's me, and I'd love to be proven wrong because I want info on it as well, that said, I stick by the 0%.
"The issue is that some of us don't judge how good a game is based on how much money it rakes in. Plenty of terrible things make tons of money. Justin Bieber. Jonas Brothers. Miley Cyrus. Reality Television. Etc."
I predict unexpected enthusiasm and excitement upon Blizzcon announcements. Whether it is Naga/Azshara or Burning Legion, it will be AWESOME!!!
More importantly, the end of MOP and the end of silliness and ridicule the game had to suffer. I will come back gladly despite all other shortcomings, just rid of the fucking kung fu panda.
Can't wait for Blizzcon!

Hodgkins Disease (cont.)In this Article
Comment on this
Read 2 Comments
Your doctor can describe your treatment choices and the expected results. You and your doctor can work together to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs. Your doctor may refer you to a specialist, or you may ask for a referral. Specialists who treat Hodgkin lymphoma include hematologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists . Your doctor may suggest that you choose an oncologist who specializes in the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma. Often, such doctors are associated with major academic centers. Your health care team may also include an oncology nurse and a registered dietitian. The choice of treatment depends mainly on the following:
People with Hodgkin lymphoma may be treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both. If Hodgkin lymphoma comes back after treatment, doctors call this a relapse or recurrence. People with Hodgkin lymphoma that comes back after treatment may receive high doses of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both, followed by stem cell transplantation. You may want to know about side effects and how treatment may change your normal activities. Because chemotherapy and radiation therapy often damage healthy cells and tissues, side effects are common. Side effects may not be the same for each person, and they may change from one treatment session to the next. Before treatment starts, your health care team will explain possible side effects and suggest ways to help you manage them. The younger a person is, the easier it may be to cope with treatment and its side effects. At any stage of the disease, you can have supportive care. Supportive care is treatment to prevent or fight infections, to control pain and other symptoms, to relieve the side effects of therapy, and to help you cope with the feelings that a diagnosis of cancer can bring. You may want to talk to your doctor about taking part in a clinical trial, a research study of new treatment methods. See the Taking Part in Cancer Research section.

Theres HzO and Liquipel as far as water proofing goes. On top of that, Samsung has the Rugby line up of phones with a new smartphone version coming out in a few days. I live in Alberta and sell phones. Weve been waiting on this one for a while.
fitten wrote: Also from their web page: Quote: The standard warranty is 90 days from purchase. Extend your warranty free of charge to 365 days (One year) by viewing the instructions, registering, and completing the helpful operating checklist at http://www.lifeproof.com/support/ If a material or workmanship defect arises and a valid claim is received within the Warranty Period, LifeProof will replace the case only. Please Note: LifeProof cannot be held liable for damages to personal property due to misuse or improper installation, or improper care and maintenance of case and o-ring or gasket seals. LifeProof warranty does not, under any circumstance, cover the replacement or cost of any electronic device or personal property inside or outside of the case. So you have to install it yourself and it requires maintenance and they basically don't guarantee that it will work at all (as in replace your iPhone if it doesn't work). I have a Lifeproof case and maintenance basically consists of the following: 1) If you're the sort who takes their iPhone out of the case repeatedly (which I don't), don't flex the back of the case too much when removing it (they tell you how to remove it properly) and make sure the O-ring is free of contamination before you close up the case; 2) Make sure you've properly fitted the case (which is why they tell you to do a water test without the phone in the case before you use it - that way you can confirm that you know what you're doing as well as that there are no manufacturing defects). I had to replace the case front because I bought my case before they tweaked it for the 4S, so when they sent me the free replacement I had to open and reseal it - and you'd better believe I did the water test again before I put my iPhone back in; 3) Make sure the charging port door, and the headphone jack plug, are closed properly before the phone is exposed to water. Personally, I don't think any of those requirements are that onerous. As far as installing it yourself is concerned, that's not an issue at all...how many companies are there which will put the phone in the case for you? Regarding Lifeproof not covering the phone itself, sure that sucks - but I don't see anything in the Otterbox warranty about covering your phone either: Quote: Otter Products, LLC and its affiliated companies worldwide ("OtterBox") warrants our OtterBox products against defects in material or workmanship for a period of one year from the original date of purchase of the product by a consumer (the "Warranty Period"). OtterBox does not warrant, and is not responsible for, any smart phone or other device made by anyone other than OtterBox. If a material or workmanship defect arises with regard to any OtterBox product, and a valid claim is received within the Warranty Period, OtterBox will (i) repair the OtterBox product using new or refurbished parts or (ii) replace the OtterBox product with a new or refurbished OtterBox product. For purposes of this limited warranty, "refurbished" means a product or part that has been substantially returned to its original specifications. In the event of a defect, these are your exclusive remedies.
Be extremely careful in what you buy. The scam at the time I purchased the 4s, was that the Otterbox Defender 4 case works for the 4s. Do not fall for that scam, there are slight (but noticeable) differences between the component locations on the two phones. The 4 case on the iphone 4s keeps popping out the top, left and bottom flaps. If the case actually worked for the 4s, none of the flaps would pop out randomly.
Obsydia wrote: You publish an article about iPhone cases and you don't mention LifeProof? http://www.lifeproof.com/ Yup, love those. Double checked too and they have a full IP-68 rating as well as a mil-spec rating for a 2m drop to concrete. And they are smaller then the otterbox. We have had both in the family, the otter box fell apart after a few years. Still have to wait a few years to truly test the lifeproof but they sure seem a darn side better. |
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the waterproof coating you can get for (nearly) any device. Not sure of its actual waterproof "spec" but it's pretty sweet: http://www.liquipel.com/
cmacd wrote: randomletters1 wrote: Metaluna wrote: The fact that OtterBox chose to compromise the protection of their case just to let the Apple logo show through tells me they aren't all that serious about ruggedizing, but rather are trying to appeal to people who only want to look rugged. New term: Hip-Spec. Meets hipster specifications for pretending to not care about the appearance of the device while still allowing people to see that it's (device X) that you've chosen to ugly up. Thing is, the Otterbox doesn't pretend to protect from water or dust. So it doesn't really compromise the protection. The case is just ot protect from drops, or having items dropped on it...which it does, and well. EDIT: Note that my Otterbox is for a Droid Incredible, not an iPhone. Even if you're just talking drop protection, it still compromises it a little though. Any opening just adds that much more unprotected surface area for sharp objects to poke through. Sure, there are still going to be weak points, like for the camera, or the whole touchscreen for that matter, but these are a justifiable compromise because they actually perform a useful function. The fact that their other Defender cases don't have the hole just makes the 4/4S models look that much more pretentious IMHO, while also resulting in product that actually does it's job less well (however slightly), so it just seems lose-lose to me. I had a Commuter (sort of a Defender-lite) on my 4S for a while and it has the same hole. I stopped using it for other reasons as well but I always thought the hole just looked silly. I guess it works for them though because the backside view of their cases is plastered all over their website. |
I too think the Griffin Survivor case for the iPhone needs a mention with US Mil-STD-810F and UK Def Stan 00-35 rating. It passes:
Shock/ Drop - onto concrete from 6'/ 1.8m Wind/ Rain - 1hr @ 100mm/hr Vibration - 18hrs at 20-2khz Sand/ Dust - 3hrs at 18m/s |
What the heck Ars? No mention or update of the article to cover Lifeproof, even thought it does have a military spec? Sure seems like the quality in reporting has been dropping off lately.
I've put my phone through some pretty serious punishment on my KTM*, using a modified otterbox defender attached to the handlebars.
The iPhone is remarkably durable. Aside from deep gouges in the glass from shocks/vibrations where the otterbox makes contact with the glass, the thing is in perfect condition. It has handled vibration, jumps, crashes, river crossings, rain, heat (sometimes it shuts down for 20 minutes or so due to heat), cold, dodgy electrics in my charger, etc. No problems at all. * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4ssHKX2rFY |
I needed a phone that was rugged and didn't go to shit after getting some moisture on it since I am outside for work a lot, so I got a Motorola Defy + Otterbox Commuter Case. I've dropped my phone probably a hundred times (on rocks and hard cement) and I've taken it outside in downpours and it's been submerged in water and I've even peed on it, the damn thing still works fine.
