Dallas – Momentum: No team needs a better start to their season than Dallas, and no player needs a better first few weeks than Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Every week 1 game for Romo is like starting a new diet or fighting adolescent acne…it needs to go well early for him, or it's not going to go at all. Not to overstate a single win, but that divisional victory over the defending champs was huge. If the Dallas QB can get the team through the next few weeks while their playmakers heal, their defense gels and the offensive line learns what a snap count is, they could surprise some people. Going to Seattle in Week 2 should help too, but Romo should stay away from the shellfish.San Francisco – Attitude: Fear the Sharpie. Although a year removed from the college game, Jim Harbaugh still has his squad playing like they are all under scholarship. Each player carries Harbaugh's attitude like they just left a pep rally and eagerly await the post-game co-ed bonfire. They play hard...

New smart phones easily run out of supply within hours of release then become difficult to obtain in the next months. Google and LG currently face the supply issue with the Nexus 4. As a result, the Nexus 4 device started to appear in usual retail places with a high price. The question is: Are you willing purchase the overpriced device?
Google sold the Nexus 4 8GB model for just $299 and $349 for the larger 16GB version during its launch. On eBay, the Nexus 4 units have prices ranging from $425 to $640 depending on the smart phone's capacity. The top result in searching eBay shows an 8GB Nexus 4 for $549 with free shipping. The seller has more than 10 units available and has already sold 43. The seller has already made a profit from people who are unwilling to wait for the Nexus 4 to return in stock. eBay seller "photon_express" offers an astounding price of $1,749.99 for 16GB Nexus 4 models.
The deals web site "Daily Steals" offers a price of $499 for the 16GB Nexus 4 with free shipping. Daily Steals has initially listed the price of the Nexus 4 at $799.00. This means a $499 price tag will still give discount to the consumers a $300 off the retail value. T-Mobile, another retail outlet, offers the price of $500 but sells the device for $199 with a two-year agreement.
Limited stock of the Nexus 4 causes the consumers to purchase the smart phone at a higher price where it is easily available compared to the gadget's official price offer at the Play Store.

State looking for nearly $395M in back taxes, interest, penalties
Published: November 19,2012
Tags: back tax, government, interest, penalty, state, tax, tax collection
ACROSS MISSISSIPPI — The Department of Revenue has dunned 154,300 taxpayers for a total of nearly $395 million in back taxes, interest and penalties, The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reported.
The department has collected $1.2 million mailed by 4,000 taxpayers, department spokeswoman Kathy Waterbury said last week. She didn't know how many paid online, or how much they paid.
The Legislature gave the department an extra $5 million this year to hire people and add technology for the more aggressive tax collections.
And Gov. Phil Bryant has noted that his fiscal 2014 budget includes $3.5 million to continue the push to collect overdue taxes.
Waterbury said the department has received numerous calls from people questioning the statements. She said checks find the statements match original tax returns.
"We have received a lot of phone calls, mostly from people with older liabilities that either forgot they owed, or hoped we had forgotten," she said. She said the main reason people forgot was that the state didn't have the money to keep reminding them. Even a taxpayer's death doesn't cancel the debt, she said.
State options to collect unpaid taxes include garnishing wages, filing tax liens, denying homestead exemptions, keeping future income tax refunds that might be owed to a person and intercepting federal income tax refunds.

Kate Middleton in Diane Von Furstenberg With William and David Beckham
Kate Middleton Makes a Bright Appearance in LA With Prince William and David Beckham
Kate Middleton and Prince William showed up at their second event in California after Kate and Will touched down in LA yesterday. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were honored with a reception at the Hancock Park home of the British Consulate after sitting down for the Variety technology conference earlier in the day. Governor Jerry Brown and his wife were on hand for the party as was fellow Brit David Beckham. David looked dapper in a suit, just as he did during the couple's April nuptials that he and Victoria attended. David Beckham said to Prince William that "Victoria really wanted to come but she is just so tired at the moment. She sent you both lots of love." Kate wore color in the form of a green Diane Von Furstenberg dress, which she paired with a leopard clutch by the same American designer. Today Kate and William will continue their West Coast visit at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club, where William will participate in a polo match and Kate will award the winning team their prize.

A few days ago it wa house cleaning day. About 7 or 8 pm I started having BH (it was low front & back cramps) that eventually went to every 5-7 minutes…for HOURS. The pain only increased mildly, but ppl keep saying BH can lead to preterm labor, but I didn't want to go to the ER. So I checked my own cervix. No dilation. About 3 am I decided to go to sleep. The next morning they were every 10 min. My midwife said I had overdone it and to stay off my feet, and to keep checking my cervix. (she thought it was great I could do that). She said if I had any dilation or bleeding to go in, but otherwise just stay hydrated (I had) & take it easy that day.
Checking your cervix may prevent an ER trip
Posted 10/05/2012
I don't even think I would know what to feel for checking my own cervix....how far along are you??
Posted 10/05/2012
I doubt I can reach mine. The woman at labor and delivery couldn't reach mine a couple weeks ago either.
Posted 10/05/2012
I wish I could check my cervix and actually know what to look for..

I learned from doing natural family planning in the past. Just from a book and practicing. It was harder to reach with the big belly in the way though.

I have checked my cervix for nfp before, but I guess I was afraid that, without being able to see where I was "going", I might, like, accidentally break my own water or something, especially since, after having baby number one, my cervix is always a little dilated. Is it really not risky to check your own cervix? If not, awesome- knowing I could check on my own really would ease my mind during some of my intense bh moments!
Last edited 10/05/2012
I learned all about my cervix when i had my IUD in. I was told to check the string every month to make sure it was not dislodged. I haven't thought about checking my own cervix for dilatation...
Posted 10/05/2012
People do it. But I think it's warned against. Like it can introduce infection, etc. wash you hands first!
Posted 10/05/2012
Also you can be in active labor without your cervix dialating. I was for over 20 hours with my 11 month old.

"We had three major challenges before we decided to go ahead with the surgery. Firstly, control of her Sickle cell disease - Rebecca had 93% 'haemoglobin S' (HbS). Subjecting her to trauma of a major surgery like joint replacement, associated blood loss and stress would have precipitated a life threatening sickle crisis. To reduce her HbS to about 30% we had to perform an exchange transfusion. Exchange transfusions involved removing blood with HbS and replacing it with fresh blood of compatible donors. It took about five days to restore the HbS to a safe level, after which she was ready for surgery.
Secondly, there was the challenge of doing a shoulder and hip replacement at same time. Thirdly, when doing a joint replacement on very young patient it is important to perform a joint replacement surgery which would give her a long lasting and better quality of life."
After proper examination we decided to go ahead with the replacement of right hip and shoulder. A decision was taken to use an 'uncemented hip replacement' of a robust construction, which has a potential to last a lifetime. A ceramic bearing was chosen for this hip which again will never wear out.
Dr. Bhonsle used a minimally invasive approach to replace Rebecca's right
hip whereby the hip joint was reached by minimal

Tow Truck
Purchasing a used tow truck in South Africa can be a lucrative small business venture to consider. Locals and visitors may find themselves stranded on the side of the road or in a collision. When these situations arise, towing services are often needed. While searching for the right truck it is also ideal to search for extra accessories and equipment for the truck.
Search for Used Equipment
When you buy a tow truck, there are used options that have plenty of life left in them. What you want to look for is a strong transmission, strong engine and low miles. Checking the hydraulics on a flatbed option is also important. Improperly working hydraulics will not allow the bed to rise upward or come back far enough to safely load the vehicle. The tyres on the truck should be free of bulges, dry rot and thread showing.
Consider the Hauling Capacity
There are different classifications for a tow truck. An experienced tow truck driver should be aware of the maximum number of autos that the truck can carry safely. In most cases, a civilian classification allows for two vehicles per flatbed. A hook wrecker can only carry one vehicle at any time. Larger trucks can carry pickup trucks, mid-size vehicles and even sprinters. For autos such as a semi, bus or other large commercial vehicles, a heavy wrecker is needed.
What Equipment is Included
Tow trucks require the use of additional equipment. A good, non-kinked wench cable is a requirement. Kinks reduce the effectiveness of the wench cable, which can cause it to snap. Several tow hooks also need to be in place. Axles on autos are different sizes, and when hooking to this portion of the auto, a snug fit is required. Other equipment that is important is collision clean up materials and emergency roadside assist tools. This includes tyre irons, floor jacks, wrenches, and pliers.
Buying a used tow truck is a good way to get your feet wet in the emergency assistance industry. One single truck is able to make short trips and assist multiple customers per day. The addition of additional trucks expands the business and lets the company branch out to neighbouring villages or cities. Keep in mind that a used truck can suffice just as well as a brand new piece of equipment.

said by sbrook:I saw it reported in the press at that. I suspect that they actually paid more than that, and that 20% covers one part of the service.If it was only 20%, there's no way that @home could make money! Not a hope in hell.
said by F1Sushi:The second link is priceless! Regardless of the mechanism between @home and Rogers, the customer is left with higher prices (acceptable given the current reality), and half the bandwidth (not acceptable + cloak and dagger approach to customer relations).

Day 1
From Marrakesh, a morning drive brings you to Essaouira, a charming seaside town enclosed within 18th century ramparts. After checking in at your hotel, enjoy a typical seafood lunch at the fishermens' market hall at Essaouira's small port. Fishermen sell their catch here—just-caught fish on display range from fresh scampi to sardines—and you can have it cooked in small stands nearby. After lunch, enjoy a guided tour that includes the waterfront, where wooden fishing boats are still built the traditional way, and the old 16th century Portuguese fort, with its cannons and battlements. Much of the town you see today was laid out in the 17th century by a French architect at the request of Sultan Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah. Orson Welles filmed scenes for Othello in Essaouira in 1949, and on your explorations you may see a small bust of him in a tiny garden square. Jimi Hendrix spent time in Essaouira in the 1960s—Essaouira is said to have inspired his song "Castles Made of Sand." Overnight at hotel...BL

3/half years ago I weighed in at 458lbs. At the behest of my doc I started a diet-exercise program that included mtb to a large degree. I lost a BUNCH of weight but then had a bad mtb accident and was off the bike for awhile, and thus the lbs. began to creep back on. On thanksgiving last year I weighed 380lbs. and decided to take up roadbiking as well. I'm addicted to both forms of cycling now!!! Yesterday I stepped on the scales at 278 lbs., over 100 lost since t-day and 180 overall. At 6'1" i've gone from a size 60" waist to a now borderline 42". I have a goal of 220lbs. still big by mosts standards but I'll be happy. When I've reached 200lbs. overall lost I'll post before, during and after pics. Just wanted to say thanks to all involved with this site, I've learned a ton and gained passion and inspiration within its threads. .

Peckinpah's only war film, based on a novel by Willi Heinrich, displays his familiar preoccupation with the individual confronted by events beyond his control. Dealing with a German platoon involved in the 1943 retreat on the Russian front, the film reveals a special feeling for the universalities of war: lives in the balance, the single-suppression of emotion. Sombre and claustrophobic photography, an intelligent script, and Peckinpah's clear understanding of a working platoon of men, are all far removed from the monotonous simplicity of most big-budget war films.

Plugging in a five string electric bass invites energy into a room that will remind you just how low you can go. The extended range, while only one added string, offers an original tone that you can easily incorporate into your band's signature sound. It goes without saying that you'll stand out from the sea of four stringed bassists when you're playing one of these instruments. The modern five stringed bass is a prime example of how an artist can not only shape music, but the instruments themselves. Fender guitars, wanting to create a new niche, commissioned the first five stringed bass back in the mid-sixties and the rest is history. This new arrangement shaped a new age of music that echoed through to funk, metal and even gospel. Everyone was after this rich and hearty tone. Giving the gift of a higher register allowed musicians to experiment with incorporating more eclectic and unique bass lines into musical compositions. The extra chords and higher melodies that were now able to be used blended beautifully with guitar riffs and stand-out solos like never before. You can work smarter, not harder, when experimenting with a five string. The extra note gives you the leeway to create a new arrangement in a jam with little effort. Walking the bass line can sound heavy or light, depending on the genre. Prog rockers can weave a full strum or pop and tap into a particularly complicated guitar solo, while the funk artist can form a truly unique bass line that gets the crowd moving. Choosing hardwood, softwood or mix wood for a six string is all a matter of preference. Hardwoods give the bassist a crisp, hard sound that lends itself to plucking and slapping. The pop is undeniable when you tinker with a mahogany or hard maple body. Softwood ash or alder offer that smooth and mellow texture you might find in a slowed down R&B number. Blended woods can give you the best of both worlds if you are looking to experiment in a range of musical genres. The possibilities are truly endless. The sturdier the neck, the longer life you and your six string will have together. After all, extra strings equal extra pressure. Thankfully with modern technology, most five strings are equipped with double truss rods and a range of bolts meant to allow you to really rock out. These metal components, surrounded by a sturdy hardwood construction, allow you to slide up and down the fret board as fast or as slow as you need. When you tout yourself as a master of the five string bass, your services are going to be sought out. This instrument is not for the faint of heart. It brings the beat, the bass and the deep tones that can truly make or break a good song or jam. Adding rich bass lines is an ideal way to tie a song together making it truly memorable for the listener.

It's funny you ask about Cdn Food. Our neighbourhood held a pot luck dinner for it's residents, but the catch was you had to bring a dish native to your country.

We ended up with Polish, Portuguese, Italian, Dominican, Argentinian, Guayanese and Jamician foods...it was great. |
Indian Cuisine at Yonge and Eglinton Thanks everyone.....I'll try them. I did find another restaurant, just opened 5 wks ago. It's called Tabla, it's about 1/2 block north of Sporting Life on Yonge St. Food was good, but the servers are still trying to figure their way around. |

Expanding access to open source hardware
Last week I bought a Raspberry Pi 2 computer.
I didn't pay anything for the USB keyboard and USB optical mouse that I use with this tiny computer, because they were donated to the public library where I work. Two weeks ago someone dropped of 10 new USB keyboards and 10 new USB mice; they were surplus from a computer upgrade cycle at a nearby office. To be sure, the value of the $35 USD Raspberry Pi 2 computer is extended when free USB keyboards and mice are available. There is a role, then, for schools, libraries, and makerspaces to collect these donated items in order to redistribute them to those who need them.
In this article, I'll share some ideas for how schools, libraries, and makerspaces can similarly expand access to open source hardware.

July 27 - August 8, 2015
Volunteer project: Wando is an island located in the south-west, about 500 km away from Seoul. There is a bridge to the mainland so that people can reach there conveniently by public transportation. Wando is famous with its seafood and beautiful landscapes.
However, Wando faces depopulation problems especially among the youth, who move to bigger cities for better educational opportunities. International exchange and experience is also rare for the local children. Therefore, this project aims to provide new experiences for the local children and youth with the help of international volunteers through diverse cultural and education programs. The project is run in cooperation with a local children's center providing social and educational services for children and youth in Wando.
The volunteers in this project will organise Global Culture Camps. There will be 20-30 local children in each camp who don't speak English very well. Participants will design and develop the whole program with indoor and outdoor activities such as traditional cultural activities, sports, games, choir, drawing, educational workshops, etc. It requires creative ideas and a lot of energy to get local young people exposed to new experiences.
Language: English
Free time: Wando has a beautiful beach and famous tourist sites around, which you will have the chance to visit.
Accommodation: In the local children's center

Cadip volunteer project review:
"I did my volunteering in Wando Island in South Korea. During the 2
weeks program, I volunteered with about 14 other volunteers who came
from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Russia, Germany, Poland, Mexico and South Korea.
Our mandate was to organize activities and teach English to the kids who
attend the center (where we stayed). This is my first time doing
volunteering abroad so I did not know what to expect but it was an
amazing and learning experience. To be able to provide my help,
knowledge and my time to kids was very rewarding.
The director and
coordination were involved throughout the program. They made sure we
were provided with everything we need but they also got involved during
the activities which made the kids very happy. The group leaders (2
Korean) were very organized and made a great job. Although they were
leaders, they participated in all the housekeeping and never acted as if
they were in a 'superior' position.
Overall, the volunteering
experience was very memorable and I would do it again anytime."

Extended Depth-of-Field 3-D Display and Visualization by Combination of Amplitude-Modulated Microlenses and Deconvolution Tools
Journal of Display Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 2, pp. 321- (2005)
Acrobat PDF (771 KB)
One of the main challenges in 3-D display and visualization is to overcome its limited depth of field. Such limitation is due to the fast deterioration of lateral resolution for out-of-focus object positions. Here we propose a new method to significantly extend the depth of field. The method is based on the combined benefits of a proper amplitude modulation of the microlenses, and the application of deconvolution tools. Numerical tests are presented to verify the theoretical analysis.
