Mark Taylor - Leading from the front
Former Australia captain Mark Taylor, born on 27 October 1964, did have his fair share of struggles as an opening batsman, but he still finished with an average of 43.49 in Test cricket. Taylor, who was awarded the Australian Sports Medal on 23 June 2000 for his services to Australian sport, played 113 ODIs, but didn't really set the 50-over format on fire. But, his leadership skills and positive demeanour helped him become one of the greatest captains world cricket has seen. Taylor won 26 of the 50 Tests he captained in, a success rate unmatched in the previous 50 years except for Don Bradman and Viv Richards.

House on Fire in Aberystwyth
Image courtesy of Halfords Tour Series
Kristian House once again ended a tough week at the Halfords Tour Series in style, with a stunning individual win in the Welsh town of Aberystwyth.
The fifth round of the series, run for the first time ever on a Friday night- only 24 hours after the previous round in Redditch, was a red-hot affair from the off, and House was out to make up for what he considered a disappointing performance the previous night.
"I was pretty pissed off after Redditch, I made the break there and couldn't have been more aggressive, but in the end everyone just looked at me. The last five laps were so unbelievably negative, so tonight I just threw everything at them.
"In the end I knew exactly where to go and I hit them hard when I did. I wasn't going to let what happened in Redditch happen to me twice."
Despite Dean Downing winning the bunch sprint behind for fifth, the men in black missed out on their first team prize of the competition, as it was Team UK Youth who broke Endura's winning streak.
After two weeks and five intense rounds of racing Rapha Condor Sharp now lie in third place behind Endura and Team UK Youth, meaning there is a lot of work for the defending champions in the weeks ahead.
Team manager John Herety, who has been with the other half of the team in Ireland at the An Post Ras this week, commented:
"The competition at the series has changed with the riders having to tackle three rounds in a week, and I think things will change further. We haven't yet nailed it as a team and it is something we are going to have to start getting right straightaway. We run a dual program so we still have some firepower here at the Ras, and I think the next week will be crucial to see where we can end up in this competition."
The riders will have several days to rest up over the weekend again before the series picks up again in Peterborough on Tuesday.
In the meantime you can see all the action from this round of the series on ITV4 on Monday May 28th at 8pm.

Four for a Quarter
Photographer Nakki Goranin shows how the once ubiquitous photobooth captured the many faces of 20th-century America
- By Kenneth R. Fletcher
- Smithsonian magazine, September 2008, Subscribe
Nakki Goranin and I squeeze into a cramped photobooth in a Vermont shopping mall and practice our expressions. Goranin, a veteran, tries out some wacky poses, sticking her tongue out and squinting at the lens. I'm a bit more inhibited and, as the camera clicks off four shots, stick with a bemused smile. A minute later, the machine spits out a photo strip.
"I love them," says Goranin of the photos. "They're the real Nakki." Goranin, who lives in Burlington and has just published an illustrated history of the machine, American Photobooth, asks me to sign and date the back of the strip, just as she did in the late 1960s growing up in Chicago and sharing photobooth photos with her friends.
The routine is familiar to the generations of Americans who documented everyday moments by jumping inside a booth and popping a quarter into the slot. Still, Goranin doesn't much care for the mall's machine, which is digital—the print quality is not what it used to be. But, she says, there are only about 250 authentic chemical booths left in the United States, and she knows of none available to the public in Vermont.
As Goranin, a photographer and self-described romantic, sees it, photo strips tell the story of 20th-century American history from the ground up. The images in her new book, culled from thousands she has collected at auctions, flea markets and antiques stores, show down-at-the-heels farmers in overalls, wartime sweethearts and 1950s boys with greased hair and ducktails. She points out a photo of a World War II-era couple kissing passionately. "Day before he left," the notation reads.
Before the photobooth first appeared, in the 1920s, most portraits were made in studios. The new, inexpensive process made photography accessible to everyone. "For 25 cents people could go and get some memory of who they were, of a special occasion, of a first date, an anniversary, a graduation," Goranin says. "For many people, those were the only photos of themselves that they had."
Because there is no photographer to intimidate, photobooth subjects tend to be much less self-conscious. The result—a young boy embracing his mother or teenagers sneaking a first kiss—is often exceptionally intimate. "It's like a theater that's just you and the lens," Goranin says. "And you can be anyone you want to be."
Goranin's photobooth obsession began after her mother died in 1999. She needed to continue her photography, but couldn't focus on her work or bring herself to go back into the darkroom. Frequenting photobooths was the answer, she says. After a while, Goranin got the idea to publish her collection of self-portraits—now part of the permanent collection of the International Center for Photography in New York City—along with a brief history of the machine. But she was surprised by the dearth of information about the machine's origins or development; she set off from her cozy white Vermont house to see what she could discover for herself. That was nine years ago.
Goranin pored through microfilm of old newspapers. She drove back and forth across the United States and Canada interviewing anyone connected with the business that she could track down. When she telephoned the son of a long-dead early photobooth operator, she learned that only the day before, he had thrown away a trove of vintage photographs and business records. Goranin persuaded him to climb into a Dumpster to retrieve the items. Goranin even bought her own fully functioning 1960s-era photobooth and is now restoring two others that she also purchased.

In the '70s my sisters and I used to take rolls of quarters and a bag full of props with us to the Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles and shoot strip after strip of fifty-cent tales. There was a campy,ghastly murder by wrench, a girl who disappeared into her white hoodie, a flying dog (we borrowed a puppy for that one) and many other four-panel vignettes. Years later we shot one as a trio of Frida Kahlos, complete with faint mustaches and unibrows sketched on with eyebrow pencil. We still treasure our time spent squashed three in a booth, changing hats and passing a puppy overhead.

I have taken photo booth pics at least once every year since I was a child. I recently started a scrap book of all the photos and its amazing to see how I've changed over the years.
My long history with photo booths lead me to start my own photo booth company. Rock the Booth (http://rockthebooth.com) is Michigan's photo booth company. We have booths at events every week of the year and love to provide machines that make such precious memories for our clients.
Thanks for the great article. It helps remind me why we do this in the first place!

I believe that the sailor on the left in the trio picture is that of my father. He was a sailor on the LeRay Wilson during WWII. He was a handsome devil until the day he died.

I read your article yesterday and had the technician at the lab where I was getting my blood drawn to copy it for me. I have one memory that I see (I do not remember the time though) that my dad goofed off in a photobooth with me when I was about 4 or 5. He passed away in 2008 and I will always cherish his memory but you article brought back that memory of the picture so much that i had to look through all of his pictures to find it so I could laugh one more time. Thanks for a great article!

In the late 90's my son and I traveled to Florida, my home state. This would have been his first trip back to my old haunts since the 1970's. Most of my family was gone, so there was no one to see. I wanted to give him more of a feel from where I had come from, things I had encountered and seen in my youth. It was purely by coincidence that we discovered we had forgotten beach towels before leaving and had to detour to a former popular "Family Mart" where my sister and I had used to have our photos take in just such a photobooth. The experience was always a novilty for us, the shine never came off that particular penny. I was actually telling David, my son, as we were crossing the parking lot about that very machine. After we were inside, the booth soon slipped fogotten into the backs of our minds. We had towels to find and a beach to invade. At the checkout counter however I heard my son cry out. "Dad! Is that the picture machine?" I looked over where my son was pointing and sure enough, there it was, right where I remembered it. There was no way it still worked, I thought. But Dave was digging in my pocket already for two quarters, (I guess the price had gone up since I was his age). I came across those photos three days before reading this article. That was a great day for us. One out of several that were not so great, but then nothing is perfect forever. But I have proof that perfection exists, four tiny frames of a boy and his Dad on a sunny afternoon in Jacksonville, Fl at a pit stop on our way to the beach. We took a lot home with us from that trip and have returned several times since. We even stopped by the Fmaily Mart to but of course the machine was gone, later, the chain of stores would be gone too. But I have proof of perfection, that it was there one day and found purely by chance by a boy who had never seen a photobooth in his life and has probably never seen one since.

I have vivid memories of being placed on a revolving seat in a photobooth when I was two (1928). I still have that series of eight pictures and also a set of my brother who was a year older. Mine starts out with a happy little girl who suddenly realizes that her mother is not there and then catches a sight of a very bright light out of the corner of her eye and doesn't like it at all. There are two views of a big pout and then the final three of a a full blown cry. In contrast my brother's set is a serious little boy taking it in stride with even a smile in one of the pictures.
I am sure that seeing the pictures kept the memory alive, but I have never forgotten how scary the light was.

Imagine my surprise when leafing through a copy of my mother's Smithsonian magazine, I came face to face with my father! I swore that the picture of the three sailors was of my father and two of his old Navy buddies! My mom couldn't seem to place him though. I've since copied the article to send to my brother to get his opinion. What a treat for me!! Thanks!
Posted by Gloria Flick on February 22,2009 | 05:35 PM
I remember photobooths back when (40s & 50s) and even stepped into maybe one or two. My interest is now peaked upon reading the article & I'll look for a strip that might still exist. However the thought which remains with me is that I always took them for granted and assumed them to be more Coney Island than main stream. Isn't it interesting how much more reverence we have for something that's gone (or almost gone)? Additionally photobooths are associated with my youth which, at this end, I would dearly like to revisit. Very good article; I will become a subscriber.

As soon as I read your artical I had to get out my old photos and sure enough the memories came pouring back. It helps to see these little photos of a time when life was better. You see the handsome man I married 45 years ago is confined to a bed with Muscular Dystrophy and a number of other illnesses. He has all but forgotten our early years and lives in his childhood memories. It was nice to remember!!

I found the Smithsonian magazine while waiting in the ER at the local hospital and tore the article out about the "photobooth". I just loved it!!!!! I had photos taken with my husband, mother and son. I'd love to share these photos with you so maybe you could put them in your next book. Thanks again for the GREAT story!!!!!
Posted by Virginia A Clemons on November 6,2008 | 09:07 PM
Thanks for the great article on the "photobooth". I had my daughter Rita send in my picture. It was of myself and my boyfriend when I was 17 and he was 25 and just out of the Air force. The picture was taken at Kings dancehall in Norfolk,NE. One might now raise eyebrows at the difference in age for us. But it seems it all worked out as we were married 2 years later and will be celebrating our 60th aniversary along with our 10 children.What a wonderful life we still have. Hopefully we will see that picture in a later issure of your great magazine. Thanks again, Ellen Anderson

A friend of mine was reading your article and smiled,"If they only knew the beginning of the photo booth!" His dad invented it and had the copywright. He sold and shipped the booths out. They sold their pictures 4 for ten cents during the depression. They had a camera store in Salina,KS called "Smile-A-Minute Photo".
Posted by Ruth Hindman on October 13,2008 | 04:53 PM
I loved the photobooth story! One of my favorite photos of my Grandmother is of the two of us in a photbooth. It was taken the week of my first Christmas in 1973. She has these fabulous glasses with rhinestones and a huge proud smile saying to the world, or at least the camera "Look at this! Isn't she the most amazing baby! I am a Grandma!" I was too young to appreciate the camera, and look uncomfortable, in the grip of Grandma's arms, in a tiny booth with a woman I barely knew. Thankfully, I got to know my Grandma a lot more and had many more photos before she passed away 28 years later, but the joy in the photbooth shot will always be one of my favorites.

So does the new firmware really fix the problems on the Seagate drives? Can anyone confirm if the start/stop count is normal after applying the latest firmware? I've read scattered posts that the fix is only cosmetic (making the sound softer) and the issue with start/stop count is still there?
And it seems that only internal HDD can be upgraded and external ones cannot?
Yeah, this is the kind of crud I expected from Seagate. Thank gosh I returned my 3TB external drive.
Seagate has committed a great eror with this hard drive and you should recall. All arrangements will be attempting in vain. Just look for the cheapest solution. It sucks to harddrive and we do not fix or change the firmware updates.
RED LED on Icy Dock - external 3TB vs. internal 3TB - both Seagate Model ST3000DM001
I purchased a new Seagate 3TB External Expansion Model STAY3000102 drive intending on removing the drive from the USB 3.0 enclosure and inserting it into my Icy Dock 5 in 3 Model MB455SPF-B located in my unRAID server. The external model is $30 cheaper with the same warranty than the internal model and I got a free USB 3.0 cable. After removing the drive, it was model ST3000DM001 part # 9YN166-570 firmware CC9D made in Thailand. After inserting it in the Icy Dock, the LED under my drive on my Icy Dock was RED meaning the drive was bad per Icy Dock. It glows RED before and after the O/S boots up. I have three of the same model Icy Docks and it was RED on all three after trying each one. There is no problem with the drive as I can read/write to it. I went to Seagate's web page and found a firmware update for the new Barracuda 1TB/platter drives located at:
The problem is this firmware only updates drives currently with firmware CC46, CC47, CC49, CC4C, or CC4G. Mine was CC9D and the firmware would not update. I went back to Seagate's web page and found "Download Finder", a page where you can type in your Model/Serial #:
I tried both the Model ST3000DM001 / Serial # Z1Fxxxxx located on the internal drives sticker and also the model and serial # on the Seagate Expansion box, Model STAY3000102 / Serial # 2GHxxxxx. They both said I had the most recent firmware CC9D, which causes the red light on my Icy Dock.
New plan. I bought a new internal drive model ST3000DM001 part # 9YN166-302 firmware CC4C. It's sticker said it was made in China. The last 3 digits of the part # are different on the internal vs. external and the last 2 characters of the firmware are also different. The internal drive was from China and the external drive was from Thailand. I installed the new internal drive in my Icy Dock and I still had the RED LED of death! My last chance was to upgrade the firmware from CC4C to CC4H. It upgraded successfully and told me to power cycle the computer. The light was green! Until and if Seagate releases a firmware upgrade newer than CC9D for the CC9x series, you probably will have a RED light on your Icy Dock.
I have bought 2 ST1000DM003 drives and i was lucky enough to udpate them to CC4h but the chirping sound is still present. This is really annoying as the drives park they heads even after 30 sec of idling .... This is way to low and i think that desktop drive should have this feature anyway... Please seagate do something with this APM feature ....
I have 2 Seagate ST1500DM003-9YN16G 1.5 Tb hard drives. Both have the "chirp" problem I have read about in forums. This firmware update covers 4 other Seagate drives but not the 1.5 TB model. Is it possible for Seagate to change this firmware update to include the 1.5 TB models? I just built a new computer and only powered it up 5 days ago when I experienced the "chirp" problem. Thanks for you assistance.
07-21-2012 12:39 PM - edited 07-21-2012 01:24 PM
I'm so disappointed that the new CC4H firmware didn't completely fix the chirping issue and is still racking up load/unload cycles.
Seagate, I'm begging you, please allow us to permanently adjust and disable APM ourselves in firmware with a tool like Western Digital's WDIDLE3.exe. I'm tired of being forced to use software workarounds.
It's frustrating that you aren't listening to your user base. I'm almost being forced to sell all of my Seagate drives and buy Western Digital drives instead.
Please Seagate, my data is important to me. Fix this problem ASAP.

This issue is adversely affecting their drives, their bottom-line, and is simply unacceptable.
(edited to comply with forum rules)
That's not a good idea and will get you nowhere tbh,
The other thing I wanted to tell you was regarding your asking for an APM utility to turn it off, to the best of my knowledge I don't think Seagate is able to issue one, it all comes down to a copyright thing a few years ago and is the reason ESTools has been pulled even though Seagate bought Samsung, so don't be holding too much hope on that front,
If it's really bothering you send it back to the re-seller and ask for a re-fund, those are your rights as long as you are still in the correct time frames, hth.

The copyright issue was with Automatic Acoustic Management, which is owned by Convolve. Both Seagate and Western Digital removed AAM from their drives. APM is something different entirely and remains within the drive's firmware.
So now that you see your error, you might also be wrong about the importance of contacting the brand new Seagate CEO.
(edited to comply with forum rules)
Yes you are correct it was acoustics rather than power that caused the function to be withdrawn,
I still don't think spamming the CEO is a good idea, it won't achieve anything, but if that's what you want to do then I guess you will be off on your crusade anyway, you seem like a reasonably clever man, so think about it a bit more, there is a much more effective way of resolving it,
Anyway after a think about this whole thing is it not logical if the heads park in a mechanical metal based unit you will always hear something, and also when they park a note of it is recorded, as this seems to be the way the HDD is evolving it could well be a feature of every HDD soon, even WD have the issue, ok they've given people a choice to turn it off, but what if by turning it off you shorten the life of the drive, I feel this is simply something new that people aren't used to and will quite justifyably worry about unless they are assured it's not a fault, you also need to remember WD place quite a cost premium of their drives over Seagate, so for drives that return they have the back up of all the extra wonga they milked ppl for when they bought, something Seagate doesn't have, Hitachi is the same if not worse than WD for pricing.

Many SMBs do not have solid backup and DR policies in place. This is problematic for a number of reasons, but mainly because without disaster preparedness, your organization could suffer lost data, money and customers, and you could face legal ramifications, reputational damage or even the end of the company.
This white paper discusses the reasons why many SMBs don't have DR and disaster preparedness plans, and it proposes two next-generation approaches to DR for SMBs. Read on to discover what they are!

Road Tests :: Qwstion Weekender
Julien Schiess is from Switzerland. Have you been there? I haven't, been close tho (Finland), but have heard amazing things about the country. We were lucky enough to cross paths with Julien a while back and got talking, which lead us to getting Julien to contribute to the site with a Road Test for the Qwstion Weekender - a very nice looking bag indeed. In his words, Julien gave us a quick overview (below in italics) followed by an indepth story below.
"Great transportability, good organization features, for sport, business, giraffes, boyfriend or girlfriend, everything goes into the Weekender. Get onboard and see how this great piece of work done by Qwstion can help you spend the perfect weekend! Expectations will be even bigger next time and be careful you may find yourself spending the next weekend alone with it…"
The dilemma story around the Weekender
A while ago when I traveled over a weekend, I had the choice between carrying my stuff in a backpack, or in my cabin trolley. Not the best scenario. With my backpack I had to optimize the little space I got, whereas with the trolley, it was just too big for the trip I wanted to take. In both cases – frustration.
Right now I live in place "A" during the weekdays and place "B" during the weekend (a 2.5 hr commute between the locations) and the problem stays the same. I am a weekend commuter and I need a somewhere-in-between-luggage to put my clothes for the weekend. It should also allow me to move some items from one place to another. It is now that the Qwstion Weekender comes into play; a bag I've been road testing it for two months. Keen to hear if it lives up to the hype?
A well presented bag that resembles a good winter jacket.
At first glance, the bag is rather good looking, even more so on a second check. It's constructed from a combination of proven materials: leather, seatbelt nylon with circlestitch and cotton canvas (TPU-coated) for the shell. The external material feels almost like a tarpaulin material which is unexpected. Although the touch feeling is a little surprising at first, the quality is impressive and it is fully waterproof bag – which is always comforting factor to know if you get caught in a snowstorm on your way to the train station.
The real value from the Qwstion Weekender comes in the details. All the handles and small zippers are made of a real nice beige leather, which offers a great look and the smell rapidly confirms the quality of the leather. If you add the red color of the inside, with details printed on the material, you get a beautiful crafted bag that delivers great quality.
After two months of intense usage I did not see any problem. It still looks nice and durable.
What about an insane run to catch the train?
Apart from the on-trend looks and the high quality materials, the Qwstion Weekender puts forward a solid argument in terms of transportability with the option of three different carrying possibilities.
The first and classic way to carry it is with one's arms straight down, with the two handles on the top (kinda like a briefcase or suitcase). The second option, still a classic, is to use the shoulder strap. I want to add here that the quality of the strap is very good. Being easily removable, it is a large and comfortable piece of seatbelt. It means your shoulder is not slaughtered in pieces even after carrying the bag for a while, which is always better, I guess…
I'm sure you've all had to run, once or twice, to catch a bus, train, cab or even just for the pleasure to run with your heavy fully packed bag on the shoulder [ed note: who does that?]. The process is very often a pain, right? Your bag is moving along your back, not fixed, hurting and hindering you to run at full speed. Let's face it, you get your shoulder cut into pieces at the end of your run. The guys at Qwstion must have experienced such a pain as they are offering you removable straps that transform your luggage into a backpack if needed! A great solution done well.
When running in the morning to catch my train I enjoy having my backpack well in place, when the straps are nice and tight fitting it becomes quite comfortable to use the bag in this configuration. Once you've caught the train or arrived at work, just replace the straps inside the pocket and use the bag as a trendy business attache, where nobody could ever imagine the insane run you had before. This flexibility in term of transportability makes the Weekender precious, enabling you to adapt your carrying style to the events of the day.
I always carry a giraffes' family in my bag, you never know…
The Weekender has a small zipped external pocket, perfect for keys, passport and wallet. It has a bigger open pocket on the same side of the bag which easily allows you to put your headphones, magazines or anything you need to have easy access to. On the other side of the bag you get a large pocket hiding the straps enabling the bag to transform in a backpack. You can of course also use this big pocket to put books, files or any other rather-flat thing you have. At the moment I'm using it to put files from work…
Let's open the main compartment now. First striking feature? The two sided zippers that offer an easy opening of the bag. In addition to that, the main compartment can be opened to 120 degrees. It is larger than normal and quite nice if you're a heavy packer and intend to take full advantage of the space it offers. It also offers an easier access to your luggage.
Inside the bag you can find a neoprene pocket that will fit, comfortably, a laptop up to 17 inches. My 13-inch MacBook does indeed enjoy the extra space in it. Furthermore, the pocket offers great protection for your laptop therefore relieving you from an extra sleeve – It's always good when you don't have to spend extra money in a protection sleeve. Even if it's not a pocket, the space behind the laptop sleeve offers you the possibility to put books, files, notebook and more…
You then have three pockets on the interior side of the bag: Two small ones and a bigger one where you can put your cables, toiletries, cards, charger or mouse. Unfortunately there is no space for a bottle of water or any kind of food something I would have appreciated…
Shoes or no shoes, that's the Qwstion
The main compartment of 29 liters is quite comfortable and is offering enough space for a dedicated weekend trip. The bottom of the bag is nicely padded, a welcomed detail especially when I am carrying back some bottles of wine: less risk of damage. The only downside of the main compartment is once loaded with a laptop, it is impossible to put a pair of shoes side to side at the bottom. You indeed have to arrange them differently in order for your pair to fit into the bag. If traveling for more then one or two days most of us like to take a spare pair of shoes, it's a shame you cannot do it easily when loaded with a laptop.
It's real easy to load clothes in and even fully packed, the two sided zippers allow you to close it nicely. Another good point is the separate bag for dirty or wet clothes or shoes, which is a great addition – especially useful at the end of the week to bring back your dirty clothes/shoes or even your stinky gym gear. This extra bag can be attached at the bottom thanks to two straps and you can release it at your convenience.
- Design
- Quality of the material
- Details
- High flexibility in term of transportability with 3 "modes"
- Two sided zippers offering a 120 degrees opening
- Removable dirty bag
- Impossibility to put a pair of shoes side by side once loaded with a laptop
- Distribution of the internal pockets
- The lack of rigidity of the material
Best Suited to
- Weekend commuters
- 2-3 days trip for leisure or business
- People going to the gym
Not Suited to
- Students
- Courier Messengers
- Bikers
Any Niggles
Apart from the lack of rigidity, it is very hard to criticize the product. The team at Qwstion did a great job.
Any envy for another bag
Nope ?
The Qwstion Weekender holds very well its name. It's the perfect bag for a weekend trip. It offers great quality, good transportability and organization features. Weekend commuters, 2-3 days travelers and sports people will love it. Due to its nature, bikers, messengers and students will choose another option. This piece of luggage is now sticking to me.
Thanks to Julien for such a in depth and detailed review. For more on Julien, feel free to follow him on twitter or check him out on Linkedin.

Calcium and calcium supplements: Achieving the right balance
Calcium is important for bone health. See how much calcium you need and how to get it.
By Mayo Clinic staffCalcium is important for optimal bone health throughout your life. Although diet is the best way to get calcium, calcium supplements may be an option if your diet falls short.
Before you consider calcium supplements, be sure you understand how much calcium you need, the pros and cons of calcium supplements, and which type of supplement to choose.
The benefits of calcium
Your body needs calcium to build and maintain strong bones. Your heart, muscles and nerves also need calcium to function properly.
Some studies suggest that calcium, along with vitamin D, may have benefits beyond bone health, perhaps protecting against cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure. But evidence about such health benefits is not definitive.
The risks of too little calcium
If you don't get enough calcium, you could face health problems related to weak bones:
- Children may not reach their full potential adult height.
- Adults may have low bone mass, which is a risk factor for osteoporosis.
Many Americans don't get enough calcium in their diets. Children and adolescent girls are at particular risk, but so are adults age 50 and older.
Calcium requirements
How much calcium you need depends on your age and sex. Note that the upper limit in the chart represents the safe boundary — it's not how much you should aim to get. If you exceed the upper limit, you may increase your risk of health problems related to excessive calcium.
Calcium: Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adults | ||
Men | Daily RDA | Daily upper limit |
19-50 years | 1,000 mg | 2,500 mg |
51-70 years | 1,000 mg | 2,000 mg |
71 and older | 1,200 mg | 2,000 mg |
Women | ||
19-50 years | 1,000 mg | 2,500 mg |
51 and older | 1,200 mg | 2,000 mg |
Calcium and vitamin D
Your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium. For this reason, some calcium supplements contain vitamin D. A few foods naturally contain small amounts of vitamin D, such as canned salmon with bones, and egg yolks. You can also get vitamin D from fortified foods and sun exposure. The RDA for vitamin D is 600 international units (15 micrograms) a day for most adults.

-- nobody -- -- Well good afternoon everybody.
Of the White House.
I realize.
That the last thing.
Wanna hear on new years the another speech for me.
But I don't need to talk about the progress that's being made.
In congress today.
For the last few days leaders in both parties have been working toward an agreement.
That will prevent a middle class tax like from hitting 98%.
Of all Americans.
Starting tomorrow.
Preventing that -- like it has been my top priority.
Because the last thing.
Folks like the folks up here on this stage can afford right now is to pay an extra 2000 dollars in taxes next year.
Middle class families can't afford it.
Businesses can't afford it.
Our economy can't afford.
Now today it appears that an agreement to prevent this New Year's tax hike.
Is within -- But it's not done.
There are still issues left to resolve.
But we're hopeful that congress can get it done.
But it's not -- and so.
Part of the reason that I want to speak to all of you today.
Is to make sure that we emphasize to congress -- that.
Of both parties understand that all across America this is a pressing concern.
On people's minds.
The potential agreement that's being talked about would not only make sure that taxes don't grow up on middle class families.
It also would extend tax credits for families with children.
It would extend our tuition tax credit that's helped millions of families pay for college.
It would extend tax credits for clean energy companies that are creating jobs and reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
It would extend unemployment insurance to two million Americans.
Who are out there are still actively looking for job.
I have to say that.
Ever since I took office throughout the campaign.
And over the last couple months my preference would have been to solve all these problems in the context of a larger agreement.
A bigger deal a grand bargain whatever you want to call it.
That solves our deficit problems in a balanced and responsible way that doesn't just deal with the taxes -- -- spending in a balanced way.
So that we can put all this behind us and his focus -- gone.
Growing our economy.
But -- this congress that was obviously a little too much to hope for at this time.
It may be we've.
Can do what.
In stages.
We're gonna solve this problem instead in several steps.
Last year in 2011 we started reducing the deficit through one trillion dollars in spending cuts those have already taken place.
The agreement being worked on right now we're further reduce the deficit by asking the wealthiest.
2% of Americans to pay higher taxes for the first time in two decades.
So that would add.
Additional hundreds of billions dollars to deficit reduction.
So that's progress.
Well we're gonna need do more.
You know keep in mind -- just last month Republicans in congress that they would never agree to raise tax rates on the wealthiest Americans.
Obviously -- remember it's currently being discussed would raise those rates and rates them permanently.
But good.
But but keep in mind.
We're gonna still have more work to do we still have deficits -- be dealt with we're still gonna have to.
Think about how we put.
Our economy on a long term trajectory of growth how we continue to make investments in things like education.
Things like infrastructure.
That help our economy grow.
And keep in mind that.
The threat of tax hikes going up is only one part of the so called fiscal cliff that are -- been talking about.
What we also have facing -- starting tomorrow.
Are automatic spending cuts.
That are scheduled to going to affect.
And keep in mind that -- spending cuts.
The congress.
Has said -- automatically going to affect.
Have an impact on our Defense Department.
But they also have an impact on things like -- start.
And so there some programs that are scheduled to be cut that.
We're using.
An -- instead of a -- May not always be the smartest cuts.
And so bat is a piece of business that still has to be taken care.
And I want to make clear.
That any agreement we have to deal.
With these automatic spending cuts that are being threatened for next month.
Those also have to be balance -- are my principles always been.
Let's do things -- a balanced responsible way and that means the revenues have to be part of the equation and in turning off the sequester in eliminate -- -- automatic spending cuts.
As well spending cuts.
Now the same is true for any future deficit agreement.
We're gonna have to do more reduce our debt and our deficit I'm willing to do more but it's gonna have to be.
Balance we're gonna have to do -- a balanced responsible went for example.
I'm willing to reduce our government's Medicare bills.
By finding new ways to reduce the cost of health care in this country.
That's something that we all should agree on.
You know we want to make sure that Medicare is there for future generations.
But the current trajectory of helped -- cross is going up so -- -- We've got to find ways to.
Make sure that it's sustainable.
But that kind of reform has to go hand in hand way -- doing some more work to reform our tax code so that.
Wealthy individuals the biggest corporations can't take advantage of loopholes and deductions.
That aren't available to most of the folks standing up here -- are available to most Americans.
So there's still more work to be done.
In the tax code to make it -- even as were also looking at how we can strengthen something like Medicare.
Now if Republicans think that.
I will finish the job -- deficit reduction through spending cuts law and you hear that sometimes come from.
That sort after today we're just gonna try to.
-- Only spending cuts down.
Well -- spending.
-- spending cuts that us.
There will hurt seniors.
Or hurt students.
Or hurt middle class families.
Without asking.
Equivalent sacrifice.
Millionaires -- Companies would -- -- etc.
if they think that's going to be the formula for how we solve this thing and they've got another -- cup.
That's not how it's gonna work.
We've got to do this -- balanced and responsible way and if we're gonna be serious about -- -- reduction in debt reduction.
It's gonna have to be a matter shared sacrifice.
At least as long as -- president.
And I'm gonna be present for the next four years -- Now for now our most immediate priority is to stop.
Taxes going up the middle class families.
Starting tomorrow.
I think that is a modest.
Goal that we can accomplish.
Democrats and Republicans in congress have to get this done.
But they're not there yet.
They are close but they're not there yet and one thing we can count on with respect to this congress is that.
If there's even 12 left before you have to do where you're supposed to do.
They will use that last second.
So as this point it looks like government -- -- here in DC.
So -- you all are going to be hanging out in DC to.
I can cover your costs.
I don't wanna -- part.
But be.
The people.
Who are with me here today the people who -- watching at home.
They need are leaders in congress to succeed.
They need us they need us all stay focused.
On that.
Not -- politics.
Not on.
A special interests -- be focused on families.
-- -- You know folks that -- out there working really really hard.
And are just looking for a fair shot.
And some reward for that artwork.
They expect our leaders to succeed on their behalf.
-- why and so keep the pressure on over the next twelve hours or so let's see if we get this thing done.
And I thank you all if I don't see if I don't -- up -- your house.
A lot of wish everybody -- happy -- thank you very much.

Market Snapshot for November 5, 2011 (4:22 a.m. ET):
Closing Prices: DOW 11,983.24 (-61.23, -0.51%), S&P 500 1,253.23 (-7.92, -0.63%), NASDAQ 2,686.15 (-11.82, -0.44%), Nikkei 225 8,801.40 (+160.98, +1.86), DAX 5,966.16 (-167.02, -2.72%), FTSE 5,527.16 (-18.48, -0.33%)
Market Sells Off Following Employment Reports
Trading was in a holding pattern heading into Friday morning as market participants patiently awaited last month's employment data. The range heading into the news had a slightly bearish bias despite forming at highs due to the extreme upside that took place on Thursday and a shift in momentum within the range itself heading into Friday morning. This bias was then aided by a dismal response to the premarket news. Even though the unemployment rate slipped from 9.1% to 9.0% in October, job creation was still underwhelming. Nonfarm payrolls fell 5,000 short of the 85,000 that had been anticipated. Nonfarm private payrolls were up 104,000, which was also less-than-anticipated.
Once the news sunk in, the market sunk as well. The selloff continued throughout the first half of the morning, but finally found support from Tuesday's highs. The indices reversed course mid-day, but the reversal was a sloppy one with a lot of price overlap and congestion before finally pulling higher out of the 13:00 ET correction period.
Dow Jones Industrial Average (Figure 1)
Index Wrap-up
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DJI) ended the day on Friday with a loss of 61.23 points, or 0.51%, and closed at 11,983.24. Only five of the Dow's index's thirty components posted a gain after the market reversed course once again into the weekend. The top performers were McDonalds (MCD) (+0.87%) and Alcoa (AA) (+0.55%).

Refocusing on Earnings... Maybe...
While the biggest weeks for earnings are now behind us and announcements are starting to taper off, this week will still be a busy one. Earnings to watch for include Walt Disney (DIS), General Motors (GM), Macy's (M), Nvidia (NVDA), Cisco Systems (CSCO), and Nordstrom (JWN).
The conclusion of last week's G20 meeting and a vote of confidence from Greek's parliament on Friday for its prime minister will hopefully start to move some of the focus away from Europe and the teeter-totter of news reports that have swung the market wildly from one day to the next in recent weeks. Although the latest out of Europe, including Greece's push over the weekend for governmental reforms, and concerns over Italy's future following rumors that its prime minister was on the verge of resigning, have continued to impact trade early this week. Italy is the euro-zone's third largest economy.
The index futures had a strong open to trade on Sunday evening, but fell sharply back to Friday's lows before turning higher once again in early premarket trade to recover most of the losses as we approach Monday's opening bell. Despite an upper-level base on the 30-minute charts though, the larger time frame action makes this trading range susceptible to holding highs in the early morning intraday since the pull off lows will create exhaustion into last week's highs and larger trend resistance from highs last month will limit upward mobility early this week even if the market can managed to shift momentum later on to push through last week's highs.

Providing a forum for prominent members of the community to address the bar
Earlier this week, the Legislature kicked off the Fiscal Year 2014 budget season with the Consensus Revenue Hearing. This annual hearing came on the heels of last week's announcement that there is a $540 million budget shortfall for the current fiscal year – Fiscal Year 2013. The goal of the Consensus Revenue Hearing is to gather information from experts and economists who opine on the local impact of national economic trends. This information is then used to come up with an actual consensus revenue budget number. The consensus revenue budget number represents the level of spending agreed upon by the Governor, the Speaker and the Senate President, and is then used as the basis for the budgets proposed by the three branches.
It's important that the consensus revenue process – and the ultimate consensus revenue number – is supported by outside experts. The public needs to know that our state budget is grounded in facts and reason and not politics.
At the BBA, we've already been talking about the FY14 budget for weeks now. As we do each year, we continue to meet with the leaders of the Judiciary to gather facts about the current state of our Massachusetts' courts. What we are learning from these meeting we are using – and will continue to use – to persuade legislative leaders that the entire justice system is underfunded. All signals from the state on the budget front still point to things looking bleak.
Take a look at what our partners at the Equal Justice Coalition have been working on as they ramp up efforts for the FY14 budget. They've prepared persuasive arguments that demonstrate the need for an increase in the state appropriation for legal services. This week, the EJC released its latest fact sheet detailing the daunting financial burden placed on civil legal services organizations. The fact sheet also shows how state money invested in civil legal services brings in new federal revenue and ultimately saves money for Massachusetts.
Our lawyers get it. They understand the benefits associated with funding civil legal services programs and a lot of our lawmakers do too. But as lawyers and constituents we need to make sure our legislators really get it. Some legislators may not be as familiar with exactly how these civil legal service programs can help their constituents.
Check out the EJC's clear and simple message contained in the FY14 Legislative Campaign Talking Points for the Private Bar also released this week. It's straightforward, hits the highpoints and also provides additional facts to back up the argument that an increase in civil legal aid for FY 14 is smart and a win-win for everyone. The talking points provide lawyer-constituents with the necessary information to give a quick, concise pitch to their legislators for increased funding for legal aid. The goal is to make sure that legislators understand the benefits of funding legal aid for their constituents, support it, and most importantly include an increase in funding for civil legal aid as one of their budget priorities when the time comes to discuss their own budget priorities with leadership.

I live in Sydney, Australia, and bought this rug for my living room. It arrived in 10 days and I was very happy with it. The colour is lovely and the pattern is not too busy and makes me smile. I would recommend this rug to people who want a bit of subtle colour in their space, mixed with a lovely pattern. My only negative is that the rug sheds a lot. Hopefully it will slow soon!
Beautiful blue color! Arrived tightly wrapped and when I unrolled it I was pleasantly surprised. The rug is well made and very thick. It does not shed and we have received many compliments on it. The quality is good and it seems to be holding up well.
For the price I would say its a good rug, however, it sheds like CRAZY! So I am constantly vacuuming our dark hardwood floors. Quality is good (for the price), but the rug has this "barn" smell to it, that kind of grosses me out. Otherwise nice looking rug and good price.
Bought 2 runners to put bedside in our guest room. They match a blue in the room to a "t", are thick and comfortable! Have bought 6 rugs from Overstock in the last few years and have been VERY happy with them!
I read the reviews over and over and it took me 2 weeks to decide to buy this rug in 8X10. It was on another site for $3.00 more, free shipping, free rug pad with no reviews. I decided with my club O rewards, free ship and what I would earn buying it here I would come out ahead, I always do, plus I got this in 4 days, that always keeps me coming back, not having to wait weeks for something. After reading the reviews I knew I would not need the rug pad. I never buy anything online now without reviews. It came today. I opened it in the sunroom, full sunlight and thought, oh no, this is too dark on the tan, off white color. The blue does not look baby blue on mine, but not much darker. Nice easy blue that will go with many things. I had my husband bring it to the living room and open it all the way so I could vacuum it. I have an older Dyson with a huge tank and filled it 6 1/2 times. Never would have believed it but knew from reviews this was a rug that would shed. My husband said he really liked it and after 11 years together I think this is the first time we have ever agreed on anything for the house. It is growing on me. It is in the guest room under a queen bed, the bed is white, the walls medium blue, dresser and nightstand a darker blue. The crown and woodwork white. I thought it was not going to work but it does. The cream now looks almost white, depends on the light in a room. The pattern is more pronounced than I thought it would be and bigger. People said if you want this rug to pop it won't. I disagree. It is not a loud pop but with medium hardwood floors it is just the right amount to "make the room". Gives the room some depth and color and the old room looked very dull compared to now. I do not Love the rug, I think it has to grow on me some, but I find I like it very much. It does have a end that is a tiny bit off. Meaning not perfectly straight but not a deal breaker. All in all I think I made a very good choice. The reasons for not giving it 5 stars are, sheds pretty bad, hope that stops soon, uneven on one end. Nice and thick. A rug pad in my opinion, keep in mind , my rug is under the bed with 3 foot showing at one end and some on each side.
This rug is so pretty and goes well with anything. It's wool, so it has sheds a little and had to be aired out. Other than that, it's been a great rug. I started out with just one runner - then purchased the 8x10 and am getting ready to buy another runner. Great price for a really pretty rug.

-- gives you appetite suppression.
But you know four and 8% weight reduction it it's you know.
And you know the indications going to be you gonna be severely overweight and you have medical complications like diabetes and cardiovascular condition.
The potential side effects are significant in my opinion.
Let's go through a few of these in this Eminem are actual side effects of the drug has.
Has come out with others have decided -- -- regulators are still concerned about they're concerned about cardiovascular health -- -- -- heart rate of medical -- condition that could cause some people to go into a coma potentially kill that there's.
At kidney stone rested damage of -- at risk of birth defects a tingling in hands and feet dizziness insomnia.
You go case all of this to -- And you know especially -- -- for women you mention that birth defects if you take this drug you have to be on birth control.
OK because this is a very powerful medication for potential side effects we have to have the pregnancy test before you start on the medication and then you know monitor and be committed to be on -- If you are very hesitant about this that the government do -- -- for you.
-- weight reduction and the government Greenland green why did this since well one wonders well it well -- -- was made it okay.
Look I mean I don't wanna be a cynic you know -- if -- if that was a bill like that I would taken tomorrow I will look like you.
But unfortunately this side effects that that the prize that you paid and all the consequences.
It really doesn't make any sense now I I get -- this has been the first time that we have broken.
The code to find a pill in the last eleven years.
We have 13 of the -- to be an overweight I get the whole thing.
But in my -- -- and I know this has been approved and by the way this -- -- approved with a lot of conditions attached to this going to be studies about the cardiovascular effects.

I live in a house that is about 100 years old. We have a shower in our mud room (I believe it was a beach shower at one time) and we wanted to remodel it. The floor has a huge cast iron drain. we wanted to make the drain smaller and put down pebble tile. Not quite sure how to make the drain smaller or what we need to do to put the tile down on the cement that has been painted with marine paint. Do we have to put down plastic? Any help would be greatly appreciated. | |||
You'll need to remove most of the paint before you thinset and tile the floor. Assuming that the floor is painted concrete now so adding a layer of tile will also raise the floor up by the thickness of tile + thinset. This means that you should be able to find a more conventional sized shower drain. Hard to describe how to make the new drain fit into the old without seeing what you have now, but the basics would be to somehow fit the new drain assembly inside the old, with it raised up to the point so that the new drain is level with the top of the tile. There are several different styles of drains available in PVC - hopefully one of those will fit inside your drain. Jaybee | ||||
you will have to cut/bust the concrete floor around the drain to change it out i would leave it alone if it was mine kinda,,like,, if it aint broke dont fix it but if you really want to bust the floor and remove the old drain. and replace with new https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn7bkncf1_E | ||||

-- -- now the investigative journalist and author of nineteen books on intelligence and current affairs Ronald Kessler is with us.
He broke the Secret Service prostitution scandal a few months ago his recent books include inside the CIA.
And the secrets.
By the FBI thank you.
Thanks -- do you have a sense yet for whether this thing become something or continues to be mostly about affairs.
I think it's gonna continue to be something important.
I think they're too many people covering up I.
Got call on October 10 from a longtime FBI source who tell me about the whole investigation about Petraeus has said that the whole thing is being kept.
In abeyance until after the election when Petraeus and we'll be asked to resign so.
I was that really sets it up for me that that in fact there was a political decision to delay the investigation.
And the result is that -- -- that time for five months when he was under investigation.
He was in this position where he could have been compromised by.
Russian foreign and intelligence for example if they got onto the affair and blackmailed him and that's why government employees are routinely fired if they have.
Security clearances and they become involved in some.
Compromise and does situation.
I was told by FBI people that if this had happened at the FBI with a high ranking FBI executive -- -- the same day they wouldn't take a chance.
I'm leaving them in office this line so that's that's a seriousness of that and I think.
Is still it President Obama really was.
Disingenuous today by saying well.
If I've been told then.
-- given as a criminal investigation I can be accused of -- well.
Every week Bob Mueller the FBI director -- was with him and -- him on.
Just that very matter criminal investigation such as terrorism.
-- espionage and certainly anything involving a high level.
Official -- the of the administration.
It's possible -- could be compromise where it's possible the person would have to be fired.
This is just routine and so so he's still not.
Telling the full story of what happened and my AI FBI have PI people say that there's no way that.
The FBI would have held up on this until -- election unless given the order from very on high certainly from the attorney general and and possibly the president.
The president says he doesn't know is there evidence or did know is there evidence of the contrary.
You know I don't even -- Except that he didn't say that he -- if I've been told I'm not sure if that's the same as -- as saying I was not told that either way it is so.
-- possible to believe that he was not told.
About something involving frankly this entire -- is pretty impossible to believe I think if you wrote it for the afternoon soap -- it go the way of the afternoon soap operas.
Right into that we don't have that anymore.
Exactly including.
Very stupid FBI agent who seven.
These -- -- Cherilus.
Yeah -- you know as as it turns out that was a picture of the FBI agent and others were now led to believe that they read an affair and some people had shirts on gun and but I hear you it's it's we all send journalists photos and you know thankfully -- we don't.
All right it's nice to see you thank you for being here thanks -- all matters that will be following up in the days weeks months and my fear is years to come.

250$ for a Re-Design? Or am I missing something? Put another 0 at the end and you will get to a whole different level in terms of quality…
thank you very much for your reply guys, unfortunately we're only looking for people who can actually read otherwise it wouldn't make much sense to work together. No harm intended.
But good Luck for your future
For anybody else who still want to apply – please keep it coming.
we're looking for a developer who can convert a PSD into a fully working Child Theme for the wpCasa Framework (Theme Framework for Real Estate Agencies for WordPress). Most functionalities are already included in the framework and can be customized by using actions and filters.
This project should be done within the next 3 weeks and the available budget for that job is 1500€.
If you're interested please send me an e-mail at email@example.com
As Designers we're usually open-minded. We usually hate any kind of boundaries which limits our creativity. HATING something is the opposition of what we stand for. So if someone says to me he hates Comic Sans I always need to laugh and think that this guy only hates it because it is trendy to hate it. But people who say "well, also Comic Sans has its purpose, there must be a simple reason why it is spreaden so far and I respect this"...those people have my respect in turn.
I just started doing new designs on a 1440px width, which scales down depending on the device it gets viewed on. I'm not sure why but I simply love it – looks much more refreshing to play around with the (usually) unused screen estate on the big screens instead of having the standard 960px all the time.
I don't need to calm because I'm not angry or anything similar
Well, what you're actually saying is that coding standards are bullish and you probably even include shortcodes and custom post types directly within your theme instead of putting them into a separate plugin and ship them both together. Basically you don't even care about your customers, right? Because that's what you're saying.
Disabling support for child themes? Basically the greatest "bullish" I've ever heard, sorry. A theme has support for child themes by default. There is actually nothing wrong with it. If a theme developer offers so many options he/she needs to find a way to implement them along the default proper way, instead of forcing users into a specific direction. I for myself don't want to have the mess after an upgrade of the theme to re-implement all the stuff and custom styles over and over again only because the "Top Author" is too selfish and prefers to lock his clients/users into his system instead of offering enough space to let the user do what he/she wants. Funny enough that such themes still gets published under "100% GPL"...
jk000jk said
As an experienced developer why do you need to work with themes in the first places? Second child themes are just bullish, more CSS bloatware that overwrites the main css.
Well, actually it doesn't even matter WHY I need to work with themes. But if you will be happy: I setup a small shop for a friend of mine, and he is just fine with using a theme but only wants a few things customized. Those few things are custom styles and custom functions. For such cases WordPress offers the usage of child themes (that's why they invented it dude). And usually there is no need for a theme developers to SUPPORT Child themes. No one is forced to add additional code to the parent theme just for the few clients who wants to use a child theme. That usually works out of the box. But not in this case.
That child themes are just bullshit is only YOUR Opinion. I have no idea who you are, where you from, or what you've done what qualifies you to make such statements, but I have a different view. Period.
But what's more interesting is that on one side Envato and their Reviewers are always repeating how important coding standards are, while leaving some of the top authors the freedom to re-invent the wheel todo stuff which isn't anythink like "standard". That's actually the whole point of this thread.
But, thank you very much for sharing your insights.
I'm currently in the process of setting up a website for one of my clients. I'm an experienced developer myself and it is the first time I work with a Theme from [name removed]. I really appreceate his work and respect what he has achieved. Unfortunately since I really "work" with one of his latest items I'm actually a bit disappointed. While you (envato) making it pretty hard in the review process (I failed several times myself) I would really love to know how a theme can come through which doesn't allow to use child theme's? Isn't it that you're pretending the wordpress coding standards all the time? But on the same page a theme gets through which effectively do something to prohibit the usage of a child theme?
As much as I'm concerned, Child Theme's usually works out of the box – there isn't even any need for a theme author to explicity ACTIVATE SUPPORT for it. The only thing what is needed is to create a new folder with a style.css where you set some specific data like themename, templatename,...THAT's actually the point of CHILD THEMES. But in this case I have no idea what've been done so that the style.css from the child theme isn't loading properly (and no, it isn't an issue caused from myself – I had also the support staff from [name removed] confirming this issue (more or less).
While I know that you all earn a lot of money I would still strongly admit to soft disable this item until this issue gets resolved properly.
originally submitted as ticket to envato support, still would like to hear your opinion.

I wouldn't say Myspace is dead… the Newscorps version of Myspace is dead.They just re-launched with a new platform solely focused on Music, an iOS app, and a Music Streaming service. They also just had a big re-launch concert and are spending 20+ million dollars on advertising.
I think new Myspace is going to catch on. There's no other place out there that allows artists to share their music, mixes, upcoming events, photos, and social media in one place. Facebook, Soundcloud, Twitter all do just one or two of the things I listed.
+1 exactly – myspace is coming back
I'm using this slider in my options panel and doesn't have any issues.
