Testing Spacesuits in Antarctica, part 4
March 13, 2011

We woke up to find a cloudless sky and no wind. This is a rare sight in Marambio, and we quickly got to work. The morning excursion was to make sure that the spacesuit had survived the long trip from North Dakota: all of the jarring, warming up in the sun, cooling down in the snow storm, and being put all back together.
After some careful preparations, Pablo put on the spacesuit (a rather long process) and the little portable backpack that provides life support. The life support pack is a necessity since this is a pressurized spacesuit, and there needs to be a constant exchange of air so that high levels of carbon dioxide do not build up. The spacesuit is commonly operated from a 12V car supply, but the backpack can be used to provide about 20 minutes of life support. For this sort of testing to make sure all systems are functioning correctly, the backpack is just the right thing.
The test involved testing the pressurization of the spacesuit and some of the tools we will be using. One of these is a large power drill. While the surface is easier to explore, it is also where most of the alteration happens: winds blow and bring material from all over the planet, water and ice crack rocks and erode them, meteorite impacts break up material, and any organism that may have been living in the past would have been irradiated by strong (and deadly) ultraviolet (UV) radiation for billions of years. In the subsurface, all of these effects are lessened, and we can get a look at the past conditions of the planet.
In addition, the deeper we go the farther back in time we can see: this is the same idea behind drilling in ice on the Earth to figure out what the climate was like in the past, or drilling in the ground to look at sediments that were deposited long ago.
Other instruments of interest are the simple sampling tools to be used. While in the lab it's easy to use a spatula or a small alcohol wipe to sterilize an instrument, this becomes much harder with winter gloves on (just try it!). Would it even work with the bulky and pressurized spacesuit gloves? In designing a spacesuit, being able to keep the person inside alive, keeping the weight of the suit low, and allowing the person to do the work they need to do are all equally important. Testing a spacesuit involves looking at all of these aspects, and that is why being in an analogue environment and doing scientifically-relevant work is important.

Pablo's testing of the suit went great! He could use the drill, though the handle was not quite large enough for use with the spacesuit gloves, and he could collect both surface and subsurface samples. Our first set of successes in Antarctica! In the afternoon we would do longer and more extensive testing.
As we finished the spacesuit testing, we heard that the C-130 flight for the day was landing shortly. We all ran over to the runway to see the landing, including being allowed to go up in the tower to watch the landing from there. It was an incredible sight! You could see the C-130 descending to the height of the runway from far away, and applying full breaks the moment it touched down.
Ever since I met Pablo, I had been joking around with him that I would perfectly fit into the spacesuit. It really is the right size for me! But I certainly didn't expect it when at lunch Pablo looked at me rather seriously, pointed out the significant weight of the suit and that it's not super comfy, and asked if I really meant it that I wanted to test the spacesuit.
Putting on the spacesuit is an involved procedure. First there are the undergarment layers (in this case my winter clothing so that I would be warm in the Antarctic fall). Next come the electrically-heated socks, gloves and vest. Then there are the rubber tubes that go down the pant legs to help air circulation in the lower half of the suit. Next comes the pressure bladder (very similar to a dry suit for diving) which you have to pull over all the other pieces. And then there is the harder section with its rings and pieces to keep the pressure bladder in check. The helmet portion comes on last – after all the air circulation has been turned and is working properly. Since the afternoon tests were going to be longer, a much larger backpack was used, which would be plugged into the 12V outlet of our support vehicle.
Trying to figure out how to make the drill work – there must be a magic combination! In the picture: M. Marinova. Credit: Jon Rask
The tasks for the afternoon testing were clear: test the full range of activities that are likely to be done during a planetary mission. As our model we used the work that we did in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica just a few months earlier. In particular, my tasks were to take soil samples from different depths (including digging to that depth), find other objects of interest and collect them, use equipment to measure the natural background radiation of the environment, and drill into the subsurface and collect samples. Some of these tasks may seem simple, but when you put on a spacesuit nothing is quite the same. We had to check what tasks could still be accomplished, what changes to the equipment would be needed to make it easier to use, and where we were really stumped. And just as importantly, we need to know what parts of the spacesuit get the most wear and tear from the tasks to be performed.
We started the testing off easy – just collecting general soil samples. The tools were a trowel and sterile plastic tubes (Falcon tubes). While Jon handed these to me, I was left to do everything else – open the tubes, collect the sample, get the sample inside the tubes without contaminating it, close the tube, and label it. Through this whole process an incredibly interesting observation occurred: I could do all of these steps. Certainly these steps were not fast – but working in an extreme environment almost never is. Even with just a set of winter gloves, or being careful not to contaminate a sample, requires doing everything more carefully, and more slowly. The bulk of the spacesuit and the large gloves slowed down the process a little more, but I could even take the cap off a pen and label the plastic tubes with the large gloves.
For me, it was reassuring to know that even if we were told to leave for Mars tomorrow, the spacesuits we have are sufficient to complete the most important tasks we have. Further work on the spacesuit would only make the work of future planetary explorers even more efficient. And while it took some time to get used to the heavy backpack, and how to stand and kneel to distribute the weight better, after 2 or 3 hours of testing I was still ready for more.

Collecting pieces of rock and digging went just as well. To test the robustness of the gloves, I made sure to do some hand digging too. The one step that we skipped was trying to sterilize the trowel with alcohol wipes between samples – this really would have been impossible with the gloves, and a much more sophisticated sterilization method will be available to an actual planetary mission.
Next came using the larger equipment. The Geiger counter – which measures background radiation which is present in all material that surrounds us – was our example of simple equipment that we may want to use in planetary exploration. It was certainly not designed with spacesuit gloves in mind, so operating it took some ingenuity. The handle for holding it was too small, as were the buttons to turn it on and change the measurement settings. But to the rescue came the rubberized fingertips of the gloves – I could use these to turn the knobs. And to hold it I could hold the handle with my fingertips rather than with my whole hand. For an instrument like this, doing a redesign of the interface would certainly be a significant improvement. But again I was amazed that with a little bit of ingenuity in how to operate the equipment, we took the measurements we needed.
To my surprise, the hardest equipment to operate was the drill. This drill was built with work gloves in mind, and in any normal circumstance the hand looks very large. But it was practically impossible to put my hand into the handle without activating the 'on' switch. Without my hand firmly gripping the handle, I also couldn't use that hand to press down on the drill. After a lot of trial and error – and some huffing and puffing under the heavy suit – the solution seemed to be to use just my pinky to activate the 'on' switch, and then lean my whole body on the drill the provide the downward force. The method was by no means elegant, but importantly I was able to drill to about half a meter (1.5 ft) depth, then to turn over the drill and use a plastic tube to collect sample still in the drill bit. Again – success!
Precariously holding the Geiger counter – only one finger would fit in the handle. In the picture: M. Marinova. Credit: Jon Rask
Pablo was excited to get a lot of relevant data on how to improve the spacesuit, and he'll spend a lot more time looking at all the dust embedded in the fabric and any wear and tear on the suit.
For me, as a planetary scientist who works in a lot of field environments, it was incredibly interesting to get a peek into what tasks future planetary explorers will be able to perform, and what activities may be quite difficult to accomplish. All of the work that we did was to collect samples and take measurements that we really would do on another planet, making all the lessons learned especially pertinent.
This project was made possible with support from the NASA Astrobiology Science and Technology for Exploring Planets (ASTEP) program and the University of North Dakota. Travel from Buenos Aires to Marambio and accommodation in Marambio was provided by the Argentinian Air Force and Argentinian Antarctic Program.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Dr. Oz says that if he could only take one supplement this would be it. Omega 3 Fish Oils. Good for your heart, brain, joints, digestive track. And probably more. I like the Carlson brand as they are very carefull about heavy metal contamination and freshness. Don't buy a huge amount at anytime as they are susceptable to going rancid. You can also keep them in the fridge to help extend self life. iherb is very good about always having fresh product so keep that in mind when buying oils. If you found this review helpful, kindly visit my iHerb home page by clicking on my handle name above. There you can read my other value added reviews. Peace and good health.
i think this is by far the best value for money Fish Oil Omega 3 on iHerb,reputable company,no fishy smell and a well balanced formula,i take 2 of these a day to cover my Essential need for Omega's.Omega 3 is not a "HYPE" of the moment,both Omega 3 & 6 is really a necessity and highly essential because our body cannot manufacture these on its own.luckily Omega 6 is all around us in Foods but you can't say the same about omega 3 which we lack,espacially in western diet.i also try to take omega3 from vegetarian sources every day from Flax seeds,Hemp or Chia which i believe not less important that fish oil and covers the body needs,and a great source of Omega3 for Vegans too...you are welcome to rate & read my other reviews

Having the experience of their lifetime
Five Towns teens create start-up companies during the summer in Israel
1 2 Next page >
Though it was their second time visiting Israel, Hewlett resident Alexandra Paul and Jason Lieberman, of North Woodmere, experienced the country like never before with 19 other students through the Science & Start-Up Summer Initiative, an entrepreneurial program that focused on science and technology.
Offered for the first time this summer, students in the program were placed into small groups to develop an innovative idea and researched product development and marketing strategies before creating a product prototype.
Paul, a senior at the North Shore Hebrew Academy High School in Great Neck, lead a group of her peers to design an economical backpack called the Infinity Bag that is customizable by changing the size and usage by adding or detaching extra compartments. "We had several brainstorming sessions and eventually settled on an idea that I came up with," she said. "I was actually CEO of our start-up and I learned a lot about leading a team as well as practical skills that I can apply to my own entrepreneurial ventures."
Lieberman, a junior at North Shore Hebrew Academy High School, also brainstormed with his group and conceived the idea of the Spaceshift, a beanbag chair that converts into a coffee table. "Our target audience was college students who live in small dorms and have little money," he said. "We thought that by combining two products into one, college students could save space and money."
While not busy working on their products, the students stayed at the Art Gallery Hotel in Haifa, and travelled around Israel on weekends to Jerusalem, Acco and Hispin, near the border of Syria. "On my previous trip, I did not experience Israel in the same manner," Paul said. "This country is absolutely incredible; when you're there it's sometimes hard to remember that you are in a country that's about the size of New Jersey and faces numerous hardships — specifically drought and the constant issue of being surrounded on every side by enemies."

I don't want to let go,
But my fingers are slipping past,
You're floating away,
Like a dream from the night before gone to rest.
You were always the love that filled my heart,
The tissue to clear away my tears,
The hand i grabbed when i was in need,
The smile that warmed my life.
And now,
Every time i close my eyes,
There you are,
Smiling at me like nothing went wrong.
Like there is no sadness.
No pain.
That the tears i try to cry don't exist,
Like this pain in my chest was a nightmare.
I can't live without you,
I just can't stand it,
A world without you,
Is a world that just doesn't spin.
But it does.
It all keeps going,
The world it keeps spinning,
The rain it keeps falling.
Round and round,
Down and down,
Like you didn't even exist,
Barely a blip on the earths history.
The sun is slipping down,
And the moons just not enough,
Please don't leave me now,
I just can't walk alone.

Sparda head inked by AleczantenFBWatch
©2012-2016 AleczantenFB
Well here he is inked, I started to think seriously after doing the penciled version about getting a "Sparda" game, so I'm asking does anyone know how to go about that, petition, letters, c'mon people we gotta get that game! So I needs info!
I like this ! he looks is evil and Stronger xD is perfect xD
Appreciated, hope to ink & color the other one relatively soon.
Pure awesomeness!
Looks befitting of Dante and Vergil's ass-kicking dad! There is definitely plenty of good cause to do a Sparda game I think with cutscenes as epic as the opening FMV battle in the introduction of Onimusha 3: Demon Siege.
Wasn't that one BAD-ASS?!! I LOVED THAT ONE! Samanouske just hacking through all those demons, so beautiful(sniff-sniff) Though I think DMC3 had the best opening with the awesome sword battle choreography! The coolest & best of any & all sword fight scenes though are in the movie "Sword of the Stranger". No other animation, live action, or comic has a better choreographed sword fight, give it a look you'll thank me

DOOM, who is part of Clarks' Originals Pioneers 2014 campaign, is part of a preview video and mini-documentary released by the footwear and apparel company.
"Only rich cats had these back in the day," DOOM says in Clarks' mini-documentary regarding his shoes, which are slated to be released March 13. "They always had a classy yet casual look to them. I was trying to think, 'What can I add with a Metal Face touch to it without taking away from that feel?' So we added the reflective piping to the laces, stitching around, a couple little insignias, but it's still the original joint."
Clarks also published the news on its website.
"DOOM's first job as an Originals Pioneer was to co-create a new version of his favorite Clarks Originals shoe," Clarks says on its site. "He was quick to choose the Wallabee – a shoe that boasts a long heritage with hip hop. DOOM has carefully considered every element of this design, from the reflective, metal-like stitching, to the mask logo embossed in to the heel of the shoe."
This is not the first time DOOM has worked in footwear. In July 2013, Green-Label published a retrospective about DOOM's signature shoe with Nike SB, the skateboarding branch of the Nike brand.
"Like MF Doom, these Nike SB High Tops are fresh, limited, and a must-have for any MF Doom fan," Green-Label said at the time. "The shoe features a nice combination of dark shades utilizing blacks, grays, and silvers. Doom added some flavor with contrasting red laces with 'Doom' stitched on the ankle along with a custom mask logo on the tongue. Through the outsole, a drawing of a villain wearing Doom's mask can be seen. If you haven't already copped these, please make sure to go out and grab some as I promise you wont regret it."

Press Release: National Science Foundation Awards DeSales University $100,000 Grant For Collaborative Study On Contamination Of Wastewater
Date: 7/16/2003
National Science Foundation Awards DeSales University $100,000 Grant For Collaborative Study On Contamination Of Wastewater
Lafayette College and Lehigh Carbon Community College join DeSales in the three-year multidisciplinary research project.
Center Valley, Pa. (July 16, 2003) - The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $100,000 grant to DeSales University, Lafayette College and Lehigh Carbon Community College to introduce undergraduate students to state-of-the-art detection methods for estrogen in surface waters. The three-year grant, effective July 2003 through June 2006, will fund faculty research to develop the lecture and laboratory module for students in biology, engineering and environmental science courses at the three institutions.
"This project will enable students to appreciate that chemicals in our water, introduced pervasively through agricultural, industrial and pharmaceutical means, have a great impact on people, ecological systems and the environment," said Joseph Colosi, associate professor of biology at DeSales, who specializes in ecology and environmental science.
Collaborating with Colosi as co-principal investigators on the intercollegiate and multidisciplinary research project are Arthur D. Kney, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Lafayette, and Holly Morris, professor of biology at Lehigh Carbon Community College.
"Estrogen is a powerful hormone that has a great effect on reproductive development in people and animals in the environment," said Colosi. "The project will enable students to view the broad implications of the effects of a common and widespread environmental pollutant that most people are unaware of."
The faculty and student teams will use a recombinant yeast strain - yeast that has been genetically modified by the insertion of a gene from another organism - developed by researchers at Tulane and Xavier Universities to detect and measure the estrogenic compounds in wastewater. In this case, the yeast strain, which is the same species that is used in baking and in the production of beer and wine, has the gene for the human estrogen receptor. The three principal investigators will become familiar with the yeast strain and develop lab protocols during an intensive week at Xavier University in August 2003.
The collaborative study will involve student teams consisting of members from each school. Students will collect, analyze and interpret data and use online courseware to communicate with their peers at the three schools, faculty and professional researchers, as they complete their team projects.
Introductory biology students from Lehigh Carbon Community College will concentrate on the biological implications of estrogen on water, such as the effects on reproduction in fish, amphibians and humans.
Environmental science students at DeSales will focus on environmental, societal and legislative implications of estrogen in wastewater.
Engineering students at Lafayette will study the ways that treatment systems can eliminate estrogen from water.
The entire project will span two academic years and three summers. Faculty and students will work together to delineate the problem, gather data, analyze their findings and make recommendations for action. A scientific style conference will be held at the end of the project in which student teams will present their findings and recommendations. During the second academic year, the study is repeated with the suggested improvements incorporated. During the summer of 2005, the three faculty members will disseminate the concept and structure of the project through presentations at the NSF, professional workshops and published material, so that it could be adopted at other institutions.
Colosi joined the DeSales faculty as an assistant professor in the biology department at Allentown College of St. Francis de Sales, as it was known previously, in 1982. He was promoted to associate professor in 1988, and also served as department chairperson. He earned a bachelor's degree in biology from Rutgers University and both a master's degree and doctorate in botany from the University of North Carolina and North Carolina State, respectively. He is the author or co-author of publications in plant population biology and innovations in teaching biology. He is a member of the American Institute of Biological Sciences, the Botanical Society of America and the Ecological Society of America, among others. This is his fourth grant from the National Science Foundation.
Kney has involved many students in his research program, since joining the Lafayette faculty in 1999. Last year, he was awarded an NSF grant of $49,832 with colleagues in chemical engineering and physics, to fund student-faculty research on improving water and wastewater treatment. He has published several articles on related research. He holds a doctorate in environmental engineering and a master's degree in civil engineering from Lehigh University, in addition to a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the University of Massachusetts and a bachelor's degree in biology from Saint Francis College. He served as a site investigator with Merritt/Osborn Environmental Consulting Inc. in Newtown, Pa., from 1990-99.
Morris began her career at LCCC as a biology lecturer in 1989. She was promoted to full-time assistant professor of biology in 1990, and then to associate professor in 1995. She earned a bachelor's degree in botany from Michigan State University and a master's degree in anatomy from the University of Pennsylvania. During the 16 years prior to LCCC, Holly served as a research specialist in the department of behavioral neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh. This experience included research on Parkinson's disease, peptide hormones, enzymes, and normal and abnormal neonatal development.
For more information on the research study, please contact Joseph Colosi, associate professor of biology at DeSales University, at 610-282-1100, Ext. 1288, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I love ramen, you love ramen, half the people I follow on twitter love ramen, and I am sure those who have not owned up to it love ramen as well.
I guess the only problem with ramen in Melbourne is, none of it is all that great. We have, what you may call, a handful of passable ramens amongst shady imitations. It had taken me a while, but I finally made it to Don Too after all the raving on their soft-centered eggs.
The eggs, the toppings and the noodles themselves don't disappoint. At night, Don Too serve nothing but ramen (there was a suspect laksa ramen which I am not game enough to try) and at a very low price. When ordering Kirin at $5.50 instead of their standard $5 for all other beers, they say, "Are you sure," as if you're about to break the bank. Their servings are generous, but they give you the option to order an extra serve of noodles in your bowl, if you are up to the challenge (don't do it, I have not seen a single human win).
The noodles come with a toothsome bite, the eggs are gooey, the corn is buttered and the charsu is soft againt the crunchy abundance of the bean shoots which have been carefully picked of their tails.
The few complaints are, that while the broth is hot and the noodles are freshly cooked, their toppings are cold out of the fridge and turn a potentially warming dish into a tepid meal, and while their broth is subtle and has a deep depth of flavour, it is not nearly fatty or thick enough to stand up against an authentic tonkotsu.
So, the story continues, and the ramen hunt remains. Don Too does provide a great relief from the constant visits to Ramen-Ya, and is just as good for entirely different reasons, but the unfortunate thing is that I may just have to go to NSW to be fully fulfilled within Australia.

In Response to Tragedy
Racism, Conflict, and the Church's Present Life Together
Since the announcement of the "not guilty" verdict in the case of the State of Florida vs. George Zimmerman, renewed conversations about the nature of racism in the United States, coupled by questions about the equitable execution of justice through the legal system and the troubling rise of gun violence, have emerged. For some, these conversations seem long overdue, while for others, engaging in dialogues on the issues of race, racism, and inequality causes much discomfort. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has a longstanding tradition of equipping the body of Christ in addressing and denouncing the sins of inequality and inequity that diminish humankind as created in the image of God.
Though many other resources and forums exist, please find a concise list of programs, worship aids, study guides, assessment tools, books, and links of interest that help to promote and foster meaningful conversation, reflection, and response:

The Reverend Nancy J. Benson-Nicol, Associate for Gender and Racial Justice
Thus says the Lord: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more (Jeremiah 31:15, NRSV).
In the wake of the verdict of "not guilty" in the case of the State of Florida vs. George Zimmerman, there is one indisputable and irreversible fact: Trayvon Martin, an unarmed African-American teenager, is dead. A promising young life was cut short by an act of violence that could have, and should have, been prevented. That so many lives have been tragically cut short by gun violence is appalling evidence of the brokenness of humankind.
More evidence of our brokenness exists in our all-too-frequent tendency as a society to unreservedly categorize people of color in general, and black male youths in particular, as dangerous threats to safety and security. Be it conscious or beyond our awareness, this pernicious bias pervades all areas of society, and played a fatal role in the untimely death of young Mr. Martin by the hand of George Zimmerman. Had he been perceived to "belong," Trayvon would not have been pursued as a threat at the onset, and would have lived to see the measure of his days. But Trayvon is not alive; he does not possess that privilege, while George Zimmerman lives on; and continues to possess his power, his privilege and, indeed, his very existence.
Though there are conflicting testimonies and pieces of evidence in this case, it is clear that the suspicion of racial difference contributed to how the course of events has been characterized. While an individual court case cannot bear the burden of responsibility for resolving a nation's discord on the subject of race, nonetheless, the verdict rendered in this particular case lays bare the unbalanced scales of justice that would allow for the killing of a young, unarmed black male to go unpunished.
That the value and character of the victim of a fatality would be held under suspicion to the extent exhibited in this trial is an injustice lamented by many people of all shades and colors. The lament by people of color, in particular, rests in the disquieting notion that the safety of their children is of little consequence, and that those who cause them harm will not be held accountable. I cannot help but recall the remarks by a guest on a popular talk show many years ago; she was an African-American mother of a young man slain by gun violence, speaking on her petition to open an investigation into his murder: "a big challenge was in convincing the public that my son deserved to live in the first place." The apparent de-valuing, or under-valuing, of young black life in our society causes deep and profound pain and finds its roots in the plague of racism that infects our history and diseases our present life together as a nation.
The elimination of racism and all forms of injustice, both in the hearts of individuals and as embedded in the systems and structures of society, remains a challenge unresolved by our current generation. It is, however, a task for which we all must rise, peaceably, to the occasion, for the lives of all God's children are at stake. What is more, our efforts in eliminating injustice demonstrates the work that God is unfolding in our midst to build the Beloved Community; to advance God's Realm; in which, as the book of Revelation describes, "[God] will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more…" (21:4).
May it be so.

I'm a 70 year old African American and I am convinced that racism in America will still be here 200 years from now. Today's racist doesn't even know he or she is a racist. Racism still exists in the Presbyterian church.

MP delighted by big fall in Jobseeker's Allowance claimants (From This Is Wiltshire)
MP delighted by big fall in Jobseeker's Allowance claimants
12:01pm Sunday 17th August 2014 in By Julie Armstrong, Senior reporter
The number of Jobseeker's Allowance claimants in the Chippenham constituency has fallen by nearly a third in the past year - its biggest 12-month drop since records begin in 2007.
Those on the benefit reduced by 32 per cent from 1,179 in July 2013 to 798 in July 2014 – the lowest level since September 2008, according to the Office for National Statistics.
For young people aged 18 to 24 in the Chippenham constituency, the number claiming the benefit fell by 29 per cent from 225 to 160.
This compares with a 21 per cent decrease nationally for 16 to 24-year-olds, now down to 767,000.
MP Duncan Hames said: "It's great to see more and more people in our part of Wiltshire finding work, particularly the young people who entered the jobs market at such a difficult time.
"Our economy is now growing strongly again, and I'm delighted that the benefits of the recovery are being seen locally.
"There is still lots more to do to embed the recovery and lots more people to help find work.
"My Liberal Democrat colleagues in Government and I are working hard to help businesses create even more jobs and build a stronger economy."

What a cruel, cruel, cruel…and amazingly brilliant idea. Oprah Winfrey – sometimes referred to as God by a fair majority of housewives and home-bound invalids – has reunited several of her former competitors in the daytime talk circuit, dusting them off and bringing them out of retirement for a show all about their years on the air.
As you can see from the picture above, Sally Jesse Raphael is looking sloshed, Geraldo Rivera doesn't want to get too close to svelte Ricki Lake, Phil Donahue has lost his mind and Montel Williams…well, he's lucky anyone even considers him a talk show host. Two questions:
- Where is Maury Povich?
- Where is Rolanda Watts?
Ah…we just got word Maury couldn't make it. Apparently he's so short staffed that he's processing all of the paternity tests himself these days at home with Connie Chung's help. And consider this my APB on Rolanda…
Yes, I just threw that much 90s trivia at you in one post. You loved it. Can't handle it? Charles Perez. (slams the mic on the ground).

Watch a Full Tegan and Sara Concert From Sydney
Posted: August 21, 2013
While on the road supporting their latest album Heartthrob, Tegan and Sara traveled through Australia, where they played a show at the Sydney Opera House.
The show was originally streamed live around the world in partnership with YouTube, and now that footage is available to watch in full.
The Canadian twin sisters played some of the more electro-tinged numbers off Heartthrob, including "I'm Not Your Hero" and "Closer," but they also included a few of their classic hits, such as 2004′s "Walking With a Ghost."
Watch the entire concert in the video after the jump and visit Tegan and Sara's official Facebook page to find out where you can see them live. (more…)

Tegan and Sara Play New Tunes at Austin City Limits
Posted: October 13, 2012
Tegan and Sara haven't been playing all of the cuts off of their upcoming (January 2013) album, Heartthrob, in their live shows, but the ones they have certainly hit the mark with their rabid fanbase.
Speaking with the twin Quin sisters Friday at the Austin City Limits music festival, it was estimated that approximately four songs from the highly-anticipated record get the live treatment at this point.
Their hour-long set at the Bud Light Stage was chock full with enough familiar tunes to keep the crowd cheering, dancing and screaming, "We love you!" all afternoon, but the taste of Heartthrob certainly leaves one in anticipation.
By now, many have heard "Closer," the opening single off the record.
It was debuted at an intimate Warner Bros. Records summer concert and since been seen on Conan and heard on the radio.
Its synth-heavy vibe and catchy hook make it tough to get out of one's head, but Tegan admits that it's probably the danciest track off Heartthrobs.
Still, there are other fresh gems that pique the interest.
"I'm Not Your Hero" is one new standout that makes it impossible to stand still, another dalliance into 1980s-influenced pop.
Tegan and Sara also did not skimp on the well-known favorites, most-notably with the opening "Walking With a Ghost" and with "The Con" serving as a solid middle reliever.
The siblings, who seemed to be holding a different guitar with every song, delighted the audience with their stage banter.
Over the years, they've been known for telling anecdotes of their childhood, or even sharing their thoughts on politics.
Friday's theme seemed to be the unrelenting heat, as they both regularly cautioned fans to apply sunscreen and hydrate.
"The last time we played a show that was this hot, Sara fainted," Tegan said. "It was like my solo career dream.
"Just kidding," she added with a laugh. "I wouldn't want to have to do all the work."
All jokes aside, there is a dynamic onstage that can only be described as family intuition – whether it is the way they bandy back and forth or how one is just as capable of taking the vocal or guitar lead as the other.
For a couple of sisters that began touring right after high school on the Greyhound bus line, the evolution of their sound hinted at with Heartthrobs coupled with their solid stable of fan-favorites shows just how far they have come over a 13-year career.
For more information, visit Tegan and Sara's official website.

Dave Jorn - Resignation Press Conference
Longtime Arkansas pitching coach Dave Jorn speaks ...
University of Arkansas head football coach Bret Bielema walks past the signing day list of 22 players who committed to the Razorbacks as he begins the press conference Wednesday afternoon in Fayetteville.
It was believed the Arkansas Razorbacks would move up from their No. 53-ranked national football recruiting class, but the jump to No. 31 was because of a great team effort by Bret Bielema and his staff.

Today, businesses vary from small, medium to large operations depending on its cover of operations and consumers catered. These can range from flower shops to grocery stores to complex stores of electronic hardware. In doing purchases and procurement no one can deny that a receipt is an important financial and auditing piece of document. Although we are geared towards a paperless society, thermal receipts as proof of purchase are still in demand.
Most businesses nowadays have their transactions closed over the phone or over the Internet. Sometimes the influx of costumers is causing traffic. This is very true with fax messages and calls. In traffic management you may opt to choose from any of the services provided by RingCentral. They can provide you with different plans and pricing packages depending on the needs of your business or office. And when it comes in providing electronic and system components, you make check out Fujitsu, a Japanese company producing and marketing electronic devices for small to large business enterprise.
Just this year, Fujitsu announced the release of what they call as semi-rugged, USB-handled thermal printer or FTP-628WSL. What makes this thermal printer different from other models and brands?
Feature of FTP-628WSL that Make it Stand Out
The dimensions of FTP-628WSL are 84.0 (W) by 136.5 (L) by 30 (H) mm. Its weight is 220 grams. The weight already includes the battery. The device is very light compared to other thermal printers that are now in the market. Its size is ultra-small compared to others. However, this feature doesn't mean that it is not heavy duty or almost disposable. As a matter of fact, this thermal printer is water resistant so it can withstand harsh moist conditions. It is also drop resistant at 1.5 meters high, but surely folks no one would dare to drop this wonderful electronic device.
Fujitsu's new thermal paper printer prints on 2-inch wide paper. Aside from printing receipts you can also use this for printing thin labels. It is provided with USB 2.0 feature that translates to 12 Mbps data transfer as its maximum. The USB 2.0 port provides an easy and fast connection between FTP-628WSL and your personal or desktop computers.
The battery life can stand up to 3 hours, which translates to a single battery charge. In a single battery charge it can print up to 100 meters or 6 rolls of paper. It uses a 3.7VDC lithium battery and a 120/249 VAC adaptor. FTP-628WSL printing speed is 50mm per second. It is equivalent to 400 dot lines per second. It has the ability to print stacked bar code and 2-D barcodes with clear resolution at 203 dpi. The thermal printer has the ability to print different characters. Indeed it is providing a fast and clear printing on thermal papers, without sacrificing the quality and reliability!
FTP-628WSL is a thermal printer that is USB enabled, infrared and Bluetooth ready, and you can actually attach it to your computers, phones and other computing devices. You can program it in your devices because it is compatible with Windows® 7, Vista, 2000/XP, CE 6.0 and Linux drivers and even with iPhones.
Other Features
Another feature of FTP-628WSL is the Fujitsu Easy-Load Mechanism. This feature gives the device quick and easy, drop-in loading for continued paper use. The unit is priced at 286 dollars per piece at per 100 of quantity. FTP-628WSL units are RoHS and IP54 compliant.

I am testing version 7 before roll-out. I use an external GAL and authentication. When doing a search for locations, it basically finds nothing. However, in version 6.0.7 with the same setup, i find the locations without a problem. If I type the email address of the location when creating the appointment, it fills in the resource field - no problem.. I know alot has changed with calendars, but this is a show-stopper if I cant get the search to find locations in version 7.
Does anyone have an idea?

Power Curbers Extruders excel in job sites that require a less expensive glued on concrete or asphalt curb. Sixty years ago, Power Curbers, Inc. invented the first extruded curb machines in the world.
Turn small curbs into winning profits
Contractors can produce big profits using a Power Curber Extruder. The concrete or asphalt mix is fed into the hopper of the extruder and is forced, under pressure, through a specially designed mold. The result is a pre-shaped, free standing, and structurally sound curb with a smooth finish. The curb may be placed on concrete, asphalt or 95% compacted subgrade.

BOSTON Dan Winslow has a name recognition problem. He's the least known of the five candidates for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts — so little-known that in one recent poll 70 percent of voters had never heard of him. That's even though Winslow is a long-time Boston lawyer who's had high-level jobs in every branch of state government: district court judge, chief legal counsel to former Gov. Mitt Romney, and now a state representative from the town of Norfolk. Winslow's problem was evident at a debate in Springfield where the moderator repeatedly called him "Mr. Winthrop." But Mr. Winslow is still optimistic about his chances.
"People say, 'Why are you an optimist? How can you be an optimist? We've got so many challenges here,' " Winslow recounted. "Well, I'm a Republican in Massachusetts. That's the definition of being an optimist."
Fueled by that optimism, 54-year-old Winslow hopes he can win the Republican primary next Tuesday and become a U.S. senator.
To get his name out there, Winslow has been tweeting prolifically and campaigning so intensively that earlier this month his vocal cords were almost shot from overuse. But before a doctor's appointment, he fit in a high-energy appearance before a group of anti-tax activists.
"I've lost my voice, but I haven't lost my heart," he told the gathering.
Winslow quickly gets this conservative crowd nodding in agreement. He describes himself as "fiscally prudent" and says he wants a balanced federal budget, a simplified tax system and forced spending caps on Congress. He rails against what he calls Washington's wasteful ways.
"The way to grow revenue is not by tax increases but by growth," he said, "and the way to solve our deficit is not by increasing taxes but to stop the profligate spending."
U.S. Senate Candidate Profiles
- 4/22: Republican Michael Sullivan
- 4/23: Republican Gabriel Gomez
- 4/24: Democrat Edward Markey
- 4/25: Democrat Stephen Lynch
- 4/26: Republican Dan Winslow
Complete Coverage: Special U.S. Senate Election
On social issues, Winslow has what he calls a "big tent philosophy." He's pro-choice, pro gay marriage and a self-described environmentalist.
"I'm socially moderate," he said. "But I also understand people can agree to disagree respectfully on matters of conscience."
That balance makes Winslow a quintessential Massachusetts Republican. He's married with three kids — two in college, one in high school — and he's the only Senate candidate with roots in western Mass. He says that taught him the state doesn't begin in Boston and end at Route 128. He's vocal in his judgment that the Massachusetts political system is broken because of its lack of party balance. So he implores these voters to put a moderate, independent, reform-minded Republican in the Senate.
"The thing that's frightening to me is that the Democratic Party — either nominee of the Democratic party, Eddie Markey or Stevie Lynch — they will do whatever this president asks. When he says, 'Jump,' they'll say, 'How high?' "
Winslow sounds like any politician when he says he'll bring new ideas to Washington. But even his detractors say he will do that. Since childhood, he's been what one of his colleagues calls an "idea factory." Growing up in Amherst, Winslow noticed that when police direct traffic it's often hard to tell whether they're motioning for you to stop or go.
"So when I was in high school," he explained, "I designed gloves that were DayGlo green on the back of the hand and DayGlo red in the palm so when a police officer is telling you to stop you see a red glove and when he's telling you to come you see a green glove." He did that not for a class project, but "just because I had time on my hands," he said.
Classic Dan Winslow. Ideas are his hobby. As a judge, he developed a way to schedule trials more efficiently. As an attorney, he invented a cost-reduction technique dubbed the "litigation pre-nup." As chief counsel to Scott Brown's first U.S. Senate campaign, he came up with a method for putting campaign messages on snow banks using colored gelatin.
"Watch out for that guy, Dan Winslow, because he's always coming up with all these crazy ideas" is what Boston lawyer Phil Swain heard from some classmates when he and Winslow were undergraduates at Tufts University in the late 1970s. Some students thought Winslow's habit of always thinking up something new was a little kooky.
"Then I started to listen to his ideas," Swain recalled, "and I said, 'What are they talking about? These are all great ideas.' He was just making all these suggestions, like, 'Why don't we do this? Why do we just continue to follow tradition when we could change things up and come up with better ideas?' "
Winslow's ideas at Tufts and, later, Boston College Law School, were hardly radical — things like installing color TVs in dorm lounges. But his nonstop idea generation also raises eyebrows at the State House, where as a freshman state representative elected in 2010 he filed at least two dozen bills his first few weeks in office.
"You go to Beacon Hill and many people say, 'Well, he's a grandstander. He throws up all these ideas all over the wall, that it's all for publicity,' " said former state Attorney General Scott Harshbarger, a Democrat who worked with Winslow at the Boston law firm Proskauer Rose before Winslow resigned to run for Senate.
"We probably disagree on many major public issues, that's for sure," Harshbarger added, "but I respect his views. I know he is open-minded. I know he believes strongly in a new face to the Republican Party. What you see is what you get: a very innovative, entrepreneurial guy who I believe truly believes he is there to serve the public."
Harshbarger thinks Winslow ruffles feathers because he's not deferential to traditional power structures and has a flair for attracting press. He once delivered 10 jars of marshmallow Fluff to the state budget chief with suggestions for cutting "fluff" out of the budget. Winslow doesn't deny a fondness for dramatic gestures.
"Talk to Sam Adams," he retorted. "He was the one that dressed up in war paint and threw tea over Boston Harbor. Sometimes you have to be theatrical to make a point."
Democrat Harshbarger considers Winslow the most electable of the three Republicans in the race — more moderate than Michael Sullivan, a more skilled candidate than Gabriel Gomez. But in the few days left to campaign, this candidate still has to make sure voters remember it was a Mr. Winslow, not a Mr. Winthrop, who wanted their vote.

Worn with the revived hooped petticoats (cone and dome shaped) of the early 18th Century, the new fashionable cut of gown is the sacque gown (Also known as robe battante, robe volante, innocente OR a flying gown).
This dress appears to hang straight and loose from the shoulders, flowing loosely around the body. Fullness in the back is gathered or pleated into the neckline, creating a "waterfall" of fabric referred to as the back drape.
These gowns were often worn over a decorative corset and/or stomacher and a decorative petticoat (which may or may not be seen).
Silhouettes of this style are wide in all directions, due to the roundness of the hoop shape.
This sacque gown reveals the decorative stomacher center front and is worn with a much smaller hoop than the one pictured above. There is much variation in silhouette size due to personal taste and fashion aesthetic.
The sacque evolves into the gown that is given the name call robe a la francaise (Also known as Watteau gown by modern historians due to Jean-Antoine Watteau's prolific use of them as subjects in his painting).
The gown pictured here dates between the previous image and the one in blue belowt. It shows evolution in progress. Notice that the back drape is maintained, and there is added shaping through the torso.
Here we see the robe a la francaise (in blue) in all of its glory. This painting (by Watteau) shows us both the sacque (in white & pink) and the new style (in blue).
The "french gown" is usually worn with some variation of the wide pannier/panier style support contraption. The silhouette becomes wide from side to side, and narrow from front to back. The back drape is maintained and the bodice is heavily structured (even underneath the drape in back).
During the middle Georgian period floor length trained dresses seem to be the most common. Dress sleeves usually end at or just below the elbow-often practically foaming with lacy ruffles (called engageantes).
Hairstyles are still fairly simple-braided and coiled on top of the head. Hair tends to be worn 'up' rather than down. Notice that there is already the tendancy to accessorize the hair. The woman in white wears a small mob cap or pinner (a lacy mob cap about the size of one's hand) in her hair, while the woman in blue wears a smart little bow at the back.
The alternative to the wide silhouette of the robe a la francaise was the robe a l'anglaise. This gown is rarely worn with pannier/panier style hoops. Instead, a false rump or bustle may be used. This gown usually features a waistline that dips in both the center front and the center back. The skirt is usually quite full and pleated or gathered into the waistline. It, too, often has a train and sleeves that, burst in engageants.
As the name suggests, this gown was more popular with the English and Americans, while the previous style was more popular with the French. However, it was quite possible-and likely probable-that a lady of the mid 18th Century would have both styles of gowns at her disposal. The "English gown", for obvious reasons, was much more suited for everyday living. However, formal versions of this gown did exist during this middle period for court dress.
Favored dress materials differed from France to England as well. French women loved fine silks, while English women loved painted cottons.
In addition to the various gowns already mentioned, women had some bodice & skirt combination options as well.
Pictured here is the caracao or casaquin. This was a fitted jacket-like bodice. It generally features a peplum that ends at the low hips. Sleeve length ranges from long to 3/4 length. These may be made to match or contrast with a decorative petticoat.
As a rule, the more the fabrics of an ensemble coordinate (meaning parts are made of the same fabric) the more formal the ensemble was regarded.
This painting depicts a rather pensive image of Madame de Pompadour.
She wears an elaborate collarette fashioned of fabric (probably silk) roses. The term 'collarette' refers to almost any choker-like necklace. These may range from a simple piece of ribbon tied in a bow, ruffles worn like a small falling ruff, or even fabric roses. The low decolletage of the 18th Century gown heightens the importance of jewelry and accessessories such as this.
Her stomacher is decorated with ribbon eschelles (a series of graduated ribbon bows that are attached to the stomacher with the largest bow on top and the smallest on the bottom). This arrangement helped to accentuate the desired small waist. Stomacher and corset decoration nearly always had this goal in mind.
Finally, we are able to catch a glimpse of her engageantes, the ruffles are literally spilling out of the sides the painting. These sleeve ruffles could feature 1, 2, 3, or more layers of lace. The othermost layer was sometimes made of the gown fabric instead of lace. These ruffles are attached to the gown rather than the chemise (though the chemise sleeve generally ended in a small ruffle as well...adding to the frothiness).
Late 18th Century women's clothing is greatly influenced by the passing of leisure time "in the country." Women start to appreciate looks that are, in their eyes, more "natural." This applies mostly to the clothes themselves, and not necessarily hair and headdress. While clothing styles are "simplifying," hair styles continue to expand, reaching their largest altitudes (12-18" tall) during the 1770s.
"Country" influences include:
-Shortened skirts (ending just shy of the ankle)
-Skirts of gowns looped, draped, and pulled to the back
-Narrower paniers and/or sole reliance on the false rump as an understructure. Wide paniers were saved for court dress.
-Mob cap variations worn as headdress outside the boudoir.
-Wide brimmed, low crowned bergere/shepardess hats.
-More frequent use of bodice & skirt and gown & non-matching petticoat ensembles (like the girl in brown at the right).
-Shortened skirts (ending just shy of the ankle)
-Skirts of gowns looped, draped, and pulled to the back
-Narrower paniers and/or sole reliance on the false rump as an understructure. Wide paniers were saved for court dress.
-Mob cap variations worn as headdress outside the boudoir.
-Wide brimmed, low crowned bergere/shepardess hats.
-More frequent use of bodice & skirt and gown & non-matching petticoat ensembles (like the girl in brown at the right).
Another new 'natural' style is the chemise a la reine (Queen's chemise). This fashion surfaces around 1781, after Marie-Antoinette was spotted wearing a gown in the style of her chemise in her garden. This gown is initially characterized as a light weight gown of white muslin cut all-in-one from shoulder to hem. It generally has a wide neckline, and is drawn in at the waist with a sash. Its popularity marks a revolt against the heavily boned bodices that typify this century. Eventually this style is made in other colors (usually pastel) and regains a bit of the stiffness that characterizes other gowns of this century. It does, however, truly foreshadow the fashions that will dominate the early 19th Century.
This woman's hairstyle is a new "natural" alternative to the architectural coiffures of her day. The hair is cut, curled, and back combed, creating (to modern eyes) a style similar to an "Afro." This look is named the hedgehog hairstyle. Though this look employs hair's natural tendencies, the style remains tall and wide.
Hair reaches its maximum height in the 1770s. It is a towering structure adorned with feathers, jewels, birds, ribbons, and just about anything a lady could perch on top of her head. Women (with the help of some really creative hair dressers) supplemented their own hair with pads (rats) and false hair building the hair up and creating gravity defying up sweeps. Heads carried boats, horns of plenty, entire menageries, scale landscape gardens, and fresh flowers tucked into vials of water hidden in the hair (these were considered sublime simplicity).
They did not stop at the hair. Hats were often just as large, just as decorated, and miraculously balanced on top of the towering hairdo.

Raspberry meringue cake
Ready in 50 minutes, serves 14. Kylie Adams, our expert baker in the test kitchen, makes this raspberry meringue cake for birthdays and special celebrations
Cake base
|90 g
|⅓ cup
|Caster sugar
|Eggs, yolks
|1 tsp
|Vanilla essence/extract
|¼ cup
|⅓ cup
|Plain flour
|2 Tbsp
|2 tsp
|Baking powder
Meringue topping
|Eggs, whites
|1 cup
|Caster sugar
|1 tsp
|Vanilla essence/extract
Raspberry Filling & Topping
|1½ cups
|½ cup
|Sour cream
|1 Tbsp
|Icing sugar
|½ tsp
|Vanilla essence/extract
|2 cups
|Frozen raspberries, (do not defrost)
|1 tsp
|2 Tbsp
|Icing sugar
- Cake: Preheat oven to 160 degC fan bake. Line base of two 23cm cake tins with non-stick baking paper. Lightly grease both baking paper and tin.
- Cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Beat yolks, add to creamed butter a little at a time, beating well.
- Add vanilla and cream, then mix. Sift flour, cornflour and baking powder over top, then mix through the cake batter.
- Divide mixture equally and spread into both tins. These layers will be very thin.
- Topping: Beat egg whites until they are stiff, then gradually add sugar, beating until whites form soft peaks.
- Fold through vanilla. Spread meringue evenly over layers of cake and smooth top.
- Bake for about 35 minutes. Meringue will be quite a deep colour. Check it's cooked by inserting a fine skewer.
- If it comes out clean, cake is ready. Leave cakes in tins for 1 hour before inverting them onto a sheet of foil or baking paper.
- Leave overnight in the switched off oven to cool. This also helps the meringue dry out.
- Don't use a cake rack as this could damage the delicate meringue.
- Filling: Whip cream and sour cream until stiff, then add sugar and vanilla and mix in frozen berries.
- Assembly: Put one of the cakes onto a platter, meringue side down.
- Cover with raspberry cream on top. onto this, add a second layer of cake, this time with meringue side upwards.
- Sprinkle cake top with cinnamon and sifted icing sugar. Leave for a couple of hours for flavour to mellow.
- Once assembled, the cake is best eaten within 24 hours.
- Take cake out of fridge an hour before serving.

Superior Court upholds ruling against city police
The Superior Court upheld a lower courts decision about suppressing evidence in an October 2010 Hazleton police drug case.
The higher court affirmed the Luzerne County suppression court's ruling, stating city police didn't have enough reason to search a man allegedly found with drugs.
In that March Luzerne County Court suppression hearing, court papers state, it was ruled the commonwealth didn't provide reasonable suspicion that Daniel Irizarry, 39, Hazleton, was armed and dangerous and therefore warranting a pat down search during an incident on Fern Street.
The commonwealth appealed that decision to the superior court, which, in a Friday decision, affirmed the lower courts ruling.
Court papers state Cpl. John Leonard saw a vehicle with expired registration on it while on routine patrol. He stopped and intended to issue a citation for it when he spotted two people inside the vehicle and began talking with one of the occupants, Irizarry. During a pat down search, Leonard found alleged drugs in two baggies and confiscated it. Irizarry was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, court papers state. The commonwealth stated the officer was alone with the two people in the vehicle and in a neighborhood known for crime as reason to search, court papers state. It also stated Irizarry had two driver's licenses and the vehicle wasn't registered to him. The commonwealth stated the motion to suppress would terminate or "handicap" prosecution.

When I was in secondary and post-secondary school, I put tons of time into computer and console gaming. These days, I'm lucky if I can plan a time to watch a television show.
What I do usually wind up with are rare, random segments of time, during which I sometimes feel like squeezing in a few minutes of gaming entertainment. The only problem is, over the course of a year, I've found a few games that really want to unleash that old gamer in me and I have to struggle to put them down.
So because misery loves company, here are my top 5 Android games that you'll definitely enjoy. As a bonus, all of these games will look great on your tablet in addition to your smartphone…..and they are Free. Read more

I've decided after so many years to give ASP a shot and here I am now building my first site. Here's the problem I have:
I created the site using their first tutorial in asp.net mvc 4 and deployed it to Azure (I have 3 free months, so I have to learn ASP in three months)...I was pretty happy that it works great and looks exactly like their Razor template. But I started modifying the _Layout.cshtml and the css and testing it in my localhost. Everything great...until I published it. Now I have a flat page with no css at all linked to it. It seems like the css and scripts did not deploy...I checked out the page code and this is what I'm supposed to have in my <head> sections:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="EN" lang="EN" dir="ltr"> <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11"> <title>LOTUS Marketing Solutions</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" /> <link href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="Content/Site.css" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery.jcarousel.pack.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery.jcarousel.setup.js"></script> <link href="/Content/site.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <script src="/Scripts/modernizr-2.6.2.js"></script> </head>
And this is what I actually have in my deployed site:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>Home Page - LOTUS Marketing Solutions</title> <link href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" /> <link href="/Content/css?v=Zxt_kvPMVcEtaCRbYJCSpGOy25BUARXyn8EetggjSF01" rel="stylesheet"/> <script src="/bundles/modernizr?v=qVODBytEBVVePTNtSFXgRX0NCEjh9U_Oj8ePaSiRcGg1"></script> </head>
Any ideas?
