- Description:
- In this military training film, the use of DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) as an insecticide and larvicide is explained. The first sample of DDT was submitted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, Division of Insects Affecting Man and Animals in November 1942 for evaluation. It was found to be effective in small quantities when mixed with fuel oil and spread over a large area. DDT affects the nervous systems and motor coordination of insects.The proper ways to handle pure DDT concentrate in powder form, to mix the powder with fuel oil, and to mix the powder with a dry medium (flour, road dust, etc.) are shown. The most efficient methods of spraying DDT in solution or powder are illustrated by malaria control teams in an abandoned native village and in military barracks, in mess halls, on screening and garbage cans, in a bivouac area, in the interior of an airplane, on a man's hair and beard, in a food storage area, on a pond, and in standing water. Larviciding with DDT from an airplane is also shown. Shots include: Laboratory scientists working with DDT; insect larvae; insects swarming. Received: Oct. 13, 1960 as a donation from the U.S. Navy

Burned porket
Last updated by chinatravel at 2015/11/10
Burned porket is one of the best dishes for entertaining guests among Dai people. Dai people would choose small-eared pigs produced in Dehong. Those porkets of half a year are thin-skined and tender, and are the best choice. Remove the bowels of the porkets, cram the seasonings, and stitch it together with thin bamboo strips. After that, bake the porkets with slow fire until it becomes brown and the oil leaks out. Puncture the skin of the porkets with a dagger while baking them. Dust them with wet ashes of straws and bake them again. Finally the porkets smell good and you can slice them up, and serve them with seasonings of Dai.

Here's a success story to inspire anyone who wants to make the leap from hobbyist mod maker to full-fledged developer: it's possible if you put love into your creation and catch someone's attention. Alexander J. Velicky, the fellow who created the popular Falskaar mod for Elder Scrolls IC: Skyrim, is now working for a big studio – and it isn't Bethesda.
Posting on the official Skyrim forums to thank everyone, Velicky revealed that he has been hired by Bungie – apparently to help out on the company's upcoming next-gen game Destiny.
"Never be afraid to try," Velicky wrote on The Elder Scrolls forum in a 'thank you' post. "I set my sights on a professional design job pretty early, I lowered my head, charged forward, and rarely looked back."
"Of course, I ensured what I was doing had a reasonable chance for success from time to time," he continued. "But the most surprising of all, is who I've ended up with. I applied to many companies, and Bungie was in my 'huge company that will completely ignore me' category. Well, they didn't and look what it got me."
"Bungie is an awesome company with an amazing team, and I'm very lucky that they've decided to give me a chance! Never be afraid to try," Velicky concluded. "I spent the time it took to apply and the rewards are proving to be greater than I could have possible imagined."
Congratulations to Velicky for landing the job at Bungie. They are lucky to have you! If you aren't familiar with the mod he created, check out the wonderful video to your left.

Time to move on from what was or could of been. Lets look at it now as a fresh look at what the team can do and be resonable. Ill assess my opinion.
The first line the khl line, has the ability to be as good as any line in the east, grant it call it a slump or whatever, they need to play to there capabilites, all i really see there is Lucic is the one that has to be the motivator and get his game going.
The 2nd, we all bergeron is the key here and the best at what he does, marchand has nights off lately but seems to be coming out of it and seguin as well, like last night played a physical game.
The 3rd line has been a mess all year, and that needs fixing and fast, even before kelly went down.
The 4th line as really no surprise to me, finally playing to there style and will be fine.
The defense right now is a mess also, i see ference as a guy who loses too many battles and gets pushed around alot and with JB and AM out, its a struggle, Johnson at least is steady. The call ups is the best they have and do what ya can with that.
The goaltending im not concerned about.
So if im PC im looking at a solid 3rd liner and a top 6 d man right now, try and stabllize this team to at least play on a 60 minute competetive level into the playoffs.
Ive went thru the list of ufa's and who are trade bait and theres alot to be had that can be added to solidfy this teams chances. II like ryan whitney and ryan clowe but the price might be too steep also.

Carmaker plans to sell about 2 million units to maintain 40% market share by 2016
It took almost three decades for Maruti Suzuki to reach annual volumes of a million cars, but the market leader is confident that rapid domestic market growth will help it reach the next million in just the next three to four years.
Maruti aims to double volumes at home to 2 million cars and utility vehicles by 2016, helping it maintain a 40% share of the market it projects will touch 5 million units by the time, top company executives, including chairman RC Bhargava told suppliers at a conference in Malaysia earlier this month.
With annual output currently at about 1.2 million units across at its Gurgaon and Manesar plants, the major chunk of the fresh capacity about 0.5 million cars from two lines will come from its upcoming 1,200 acre mega twin-facility in Gujarat by 2015-16. Meanwhile, the Manesar plant will add a third and the final line later this year with a capacity of 2.5 lakh units a year.
The company wants to maintain a 40% market share, for which it aims to sell about 2 million by 2016. For this the Gujarat plant, will have to manufacture at least 5 lakh units a year, if not more. It has asked vendors to be tuned to this number in terms of investments on capacity, while improving quality and reducing costs, a leading supplier said.
So by 2016, the twin Haryana plants would annually make 1.5 million cars, the rest 0.5 million being produced at Gujarat. In fact, the latter is being developed by Japanese parent, Suzuki Motor, as a global small car export hub especially for emerging markets in Africa and South-east Asia.
Bhargava confirmed the development, We have given our projections on the basis of the last three years and not only the last year which was bad for the industry and does not indicate the future. Gujarat will likely see two plants coming up which together will produce half a million cars, but the final expansion plans will depend on the market demand over the next two years.
For the entire FY13, Marutis market share stood at 39%, though in the last quarter (Jan-March 2013) it had climbed to around 41%. Last fiscal, sales had grown 4.44% at 1.05 million units largely on the back of high demand for its diesel variants for

With March generally being the windiest month of the year, the state of Mississippi has declared this Wildfire Prevention Month. That's why attention is being called to the need for extra caution when burning.
Last year, 99 percent of all the fires in Mississippi were caused by humans or were preventable.
"You hear this all the time when you go to a fire. They express, 'I was burning and there wasn't any wind and the wind just came up of a sudden and it just got in the fire and spread'. " said Bill Kitchings of the Mississippi Forestry Commission. "And it doesn't take long for a wildfire to spread and get out of control."
Kitchings says people doing timber or agricultural burns are advised to get a permit from the forestry commission prior to burning.
He reminds residents about the importance of having a water hose, rake and shovel nearby when burning.

Despite the centrally-managed nature of and critical infrastructure provided by enterprise networks, analyses of their characteristics have been limited. In this paper we examine the dynamics of enterprise networks from two distinct perspectives, namely traffic and addressing. Using a large packet trace spanning approximately 3.5 weeks coupled with diverse other data sources, we pose and answer a series of questions pertinent to understanding the aforementioned aspects of today's enterprise networks. Our analysis results reveal characteristics regarding the geographical spread of traffic observed at a site in the enterprise network, the validity of the client-server model and mobility patterns within the Enterprise. Finally, we discuss the implications of our findings for tasks such as network management and dimensioning.

NEW YORK – This nicely sums up Tommy Rees' Notre Dame career:
The senior threw for 319 yards with no interceptions in his final college game, leading No. 25 Notre Dame to a 29-16 victory against Rutgers that was far from pretty but ultimately successful — and an offensive lineman won the most valuable player award in Saturday's Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium.
"I was giving Tommy a hard time," said senior tackle Zack Martin, who took home the award. "I think he got snubbed a little bit."
Rees finished four years of football for the Fighting Irish packed with both memorable and forgettable moments with a solid performance, going 27 for 47. He has been "The Closer," rallying Notre Dame to victories with late drives, and "Turnover Tommy," making crushing mistakes at the most inopportune moments, during his time in South Bend, Ind.

For his finale, against one of the worst pass defenses in the nation, Rees was virtually mistake-free and productive. He missed some throws that could have broken open the game, but, typically, he persevered.
"I'm a Tommy Rees fan for life," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said.
Kyle Brindza kicked five field goals for the Fighting Irish (9-4), who completed their follow-up season to last year's run to the national-championship game a long way from the Bowl Championship Series — facing a two-touchdown underdog that was trying to avoid a losing record.
Notre Dame's play was less than inspired — Kelly said about a dozen players were fighting a flu bug — but the victory prevented the Irish from finishing with eight victories for the third time in his four seasons.
"A good season that could have been a great season," Kelly said.
Notre Dame dominated in yards (494-237) and time of possession (38:49) but bogged down in the red zone repeatedly against the Scarlet Knights (6-7).
ESPN play-by-play man Chris Fowler posted on his Twitter account he needed broadcast partner Jesse Palmer to perform the Heimlich maneuver on him during halftime to avoid choking on a chicken sandwich.
"Never before needed a Heimlich at halftime. (Or any time)!" Fowler posted. "thanks Jesse Palmer! He saved me from death by dry chicken sandwich. Really."
Kansas St. wins
TEMPE, Ariz. – Jake Waters threw for 271 yards and connected with Tyler Lockett on three touchdowns, leading Kansas State to its first bowl victory in 11 years, 31-14 over Michigan in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.
Kansas State (8-5) scored on its first three possessions, all touchdown passes from Waters to Lockett, and its defense dominated the Wolverines (7-6) to end a five-game losing streak in bowls.
Michigan freshman Shane Morris was steady in place of injured starter Devin Gardner, completing 24 of 38 passes for 196 yards. Morris is the first Wolverines quarterback to make his starting debut in a bowl game.
The Wildcats, who won five of their last six games, had 420 yards on offense and limited Michigan to 261.
The Wolverines limped to the finish after a 5-0 start to the season.
N. Carolina rolls
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – T.J. Logan returned a kickoff 78 yards for a touchdown, and Ryan Switzer scored on an 86-yard punt return to help North Carolina defeat Cincinnati 39-17 for its first Belk Bowl victory in four attempts.
Marquise Williams threw for 171 yards and a touchdown for the Tar Heels (7-6) in their first bowl victory since 2010. Romar Morris scored on two short touchdown runs as North Carolina closed the season by winning six of its final seven games.
Cincinnati (9-4) couldn't supply an encore to last year's 48-34 Belk Bowl victory over Duke.

About the Habitat Furnishings Team
The people at Habitat Furnishings have been involved in specialty bedding since 1994. Marc Anderson, the company president, started out in retail bedding, as the original founder of Ellen's Futons, a Washington, D.C. based chain of futon (convertible couches) stores. He also created and founded Habitat Futons and Furnishings, a New Orleans, Louisiana based chain of futon stores, which also featured Tempur-Pedic® memory foam products, and he eventually became one of the largest web based dealers of Tempur-Pedic® products, being ranked as the 35th largest volume dealer, out of 6,500 during 2005-2006.
The business ultimately became Habitat Furnishings, and his experience with other kinds of bedding expanded, as he frequented trade shows, visited manufacturers, and developed a reputation in the bedding industry for finding and developing unique products as customers asked for them. As time went on, Marc sensed that the bedding industry's climate was changing, as customers became more interested in green, natural products, such as Latex, and he began aggressively researching the subject, since many of his customers were beginning to ask if he carried natural Latex mattresses in his line. Already hugely popular in Europe, the all natural Latex mattress tidal wave was sweeping into the U.S., so Marc intensified his research, and established a relationship with a Boston based specialty bedding manufacturer who was willing to work with him to create a line of all natural Latex mattresses that had absolutely no synthetic ingredients.
After the Natural Latex line took off, Marc responded to many other customer's requests for a high quality Air Bed system, much like the leading brand's so called Number bed. What intrigued him the most was why people would pay so much money for the leading brand's bed, when after doing some simple research and designing what he believed was a superior air bed, he found that the cost to the consumer should be astronomically less. Soon, Marc worked with another manufacturer, designed the Habitat Air Bed system, and consumers were saving literally thousands of dollars, and getting a much better, more thought out product.

Most handheld gamers will rarely complain if offered an extended battery life for their portable system, and Sony has done just that for its PlayStation Portable.
John Koller, Senior Marketing Manager for the PSP, announced today that Sony would be releasing a brand new PSP Extended Life Battery Kit to give gamers more playing time with the handheld.
The new Extended Life Battery Kit includes a 2200 mAh battery pack that can double the battery life of the new PSP model (PSP 2000). The extended kit is slightly larger than the original battery packed in with the PSP redesign and because of that new battery covers in Piano Black and Ice Silver are included as part of the kit.
To make the new PSP slimmer, the capacity of the battery was reduced by about 1/3. Due to more efficient power usage, the runtime of the PSP is still the same as the original model. Extended life batteries used in the older model will still work with the redesigned PSP, though the battery cover on the newer design does not fit over the older battery due to its bulkier size.
The new battery kit will be available at retailers for USD 44.99 USD in mid-December, just in time for the holidays.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Fresno State offensive coordinator Dave Schramm is one of 40 nominees for the 2013 Broyles Award, which honors the top assistant college football coach in America, the Rotary Club of Little Rock announced Wednesday.
The award was established in 1996 to honor legendary Arkansas head coach Frank Broyles, who had a track record of producing some of the most successful assistant coaches in college football history.
The 2013 Broyles Award winner will be announced on Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 11:30 a.m. at the Marriott Hotel in Little Rock, AR. The Broyles Award is presented by The Rotary Club of Little Rock. The winner of the 2012 Broyles Award was Bob Diaco, Notre Dame. Bulldog defensive coordinator Nick Toth was one of last season's honorees.
Schramm has been instrumental in Fresno State's 10-0 record this year, leading the Bulldog offense that is one of the most prolific in the country.
His offense ranks No. 2 in the nation in plays per game (87.4), passing yards per game (399.9) and total offense (573.9) while ranking fifth in scoring (46.8).
His offense has produced the national leader in touchdown passes (Derek Carr with 39) and the FBS leader in TD catches (Davante Adams with 19).
Fresno State has gone for over 600 yards of offense in four out of its last five games and has scored 35 or more points in all 10 games this season with eight games scoring over 40 points.
The Broyles Award is a member of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA) which encompasses the most prestigious awards in college football. The 21 awards boast 678 years of tradition-selection excellence. Visit www.NCFAA.org to learn more about our story.
Other nominees from the Mountain West include Colorado State's Dave Baldwin, San Jose State's Jimmie Dougherty and Utah State's Todd Orlando.
"Catch the Wave" - Tickets for Fresno State regular season finale against New Mexico on Nov. 23 are still available and can be purchased online at gobulldogs.com, over the phone at 559-278-DOGS (3647) or in person at the Bulldog Ticket Office located at Bulldog Stadium.

Valentine's Day food coverage is full of theoretically sexy foods and spurious aphrodisiacs, but there is nothing more fun or sexy than a good cocktail. In spite of that, many bartenders have felt compelled to gild the lily with some overtly sexy cocktail names, resulting in a menu full of erotically themed cocktails that are so embarrassing to ask for that you'd have to be drunk to order one.

Throughout the world, managing protected areas involves people and organizations in widely differing roles. Field managers, whether working for an agency or for a community, deal with concrete problems and responsibilities on a daily basis and directly enjoy the rewards that only nature and culture at their best are able to provide. Local authorities and residents – administrators, community members, land owners and businesses – "live with" the protected areas, face restrictions, harness benefits and are variously involved in relevant concerns and decision making. Agency managers at the national level are concerned with systems of protected areas and the conservation benefits they provide as a whole; they, in turn, are account able to the general public and taxpayers for official expenditure on protected areas. Natural and social scientists, and conservation and human rights advocates engage in under standing and refining management options and practices. And policy makers and legislators at the national and international level help shape the overall context in which protected areas exist.
Conventional protected area approaches dominant over the past 100 to 150 years have tended to see people and nature as separate entities, often requiring the exclusion of human communities from areas of interest, prohibiting their use of natural resources and seeing their concerns as incompatible with conservation. While some kinds of protected areas (e.g. those corresponding to IUCN categories V and VI) are assumed to accommodate human communities, more prestige seems to have been attached to those designed to exclude them both as residents and decision-makers (usually corresponding to IUCN categories I, II and III). Since most protected areas in the world have people residing within them or dependent on them for their livelihoods, the conventional exclusionary approaches have engendered profound social costs. This is particularly true when the affected indigenous peoples and local communities were already, even before the protected area intervention, among the most marginalized groups.
CEESP—in particular through its Theme on Governance, Equity and Rights (formerly Co-management Working Group) and Theme on Indigenous and Local Communities, Equity and Protected Areas— has been for a long time concerned with approaches and models that see conservation as fully compatible with human communities – as managers, decision-makers, residents, users, caretaking neighbours – and that regard such communities as an asset to conservation rather than a liability. Drawing on recent experience and best practice from around the world, as well as from reflections and guidance developed at the local, national, regional and inter national levels, CEESP members have developed numerous considerations, concepts and ideas that can be accessed through this web page and that revolve around two main concepts: Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs) and Shared Governance.
Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas:
Natural and modified ecosystems, including significant biodiversity, ecological services and cultural values, voluntarily conserved by indigenous peoples and local and mobile communities through customary laws or other effective means.
Complex institutional mechanisms and processes are employed to share management authority and responsibility among a plurality of (formally and informally) entitled governmental and non-governmental actors. Shared governance, sometimes also referred to as co-management, comes in many forms. In "collaborative" management, decision-making authority and responsibility rest with one agency but the agency is required – by law or policy – to inform or consult other stakeholders. Participation in collaborative management can be strengthened by assigning to multi-stakeholder bodies the responsibility of developing technical proposals for protected area regulation and management, to be submitted ultimately to a decision-making authority for approval. In "joint" management, various actors sit on a management body with decision-making authority and responsibility. Decisions may or may not require consensus. In any of these cases, once decisions about management are taken, their implementation needs to be delegated to agreed bodies or individuals. One particular form of shared governance involves transboundary protected areas, which involve at least two or more governments and possibly other local actors.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Derek Anderson quickly said he didn`t know, then shook his head slowly several times.
When the quarterback doesn`t have an explanation, it`s time to consult the offensive line.
"I`m sure I`ll have the answer," right tackle Kevin Shaffer said. Then the question was asked. "I guess I don`t have it. I don`t know."
"I don`t know, either," tight end Kellen Winslow said.
The stumper: Why have the Browns started so poorly in road games?
They fell behind 16-0 at Oakland, 20-0 at New England, 14-0 at St. Louis and 14-0 at Arizona. They rallied to beat the Rams, but lost the other three, including a momentum-stalling 27-21 defeat last week in Arizona.
"We have to come out and try to start fast," guard Eric Steinbach said. "I really don`t know what the magical answer is. It`s our goal every week."
The next challenge is today at 4:15 p.m. when the Browns, 7-5 overall and 2-4 on the road, visit the New York Jets (3-9), whose wins have come against Miami (twice) and Pittsburgh.
"The biggest thing is not to make the turnovers," said coach Romeo Crennel, whose team is 0-4 when committing two or more turnovers. "It`s tough to win on the road, particularly when you give yards away or give the ball away."
The Browns need to look no further than Arizona for proof. Anderson threw two interceptions and lost a fumble and Joshua Cribbs muffed a punt; the four turnovers leading directly to 21 points.
Today is the end of a difficult stretch of four road games in five weeks. The Browns are tied with Tennessee for the second AFC wild-card playoff spot, a game behind Jacksonville and a game ahead of Buffalo.
A loss to the Jets would hurt the Browns in the record and in the tiebreakers with the Titans, if necessary. The first applicable tiebreaker is conference record: The Browns are 5-4 and Tennessee 4-4 and both teams will wind up with 12 games. The Jets are in the AFC.
The next tiebreaker, if needed, is record versus common opponents. By the end of the season, the Browns and Titans will have played the Jets, Texans, Bengals and Raiders. Tennessee is 3-1 with a game left against the Jets, and the Browns are 2-1 with games left against the Jets and Bengals.
The next tiebreaker would be strength of victory, which is figured by calculating the winning percentage of opponents a team beat. The Titans` victims have combined for 35 wins; the Browns` for 28 wins.
The Browns finish with the Jets, Bills (6-6), Bengals (4-8) and 49ers (3-9). The Titans have the Chargers (7-5), Chiefs (4-8), Jets and Colts (10-2).
Plenty can happen to affect the records and the tiebreakers, so the Browns are trying to adhere to Crennel`s instructions to focus on the next game only.
"You never want to count your eggs before they`re hatched," Shaffer said. "We gotta win the next game. If we continue to win games, we`re not going to have anything to worry about."
The same could`ve been said before last week`s trip to the desert to face the short-handed Cardinals. But the Browns played their sloppiest game since the opening loss to Pittsburgh and gave away their one-game lead in the playoff chase.
"It`s real frustrating," linebacker Antwan Peek said. "We know how crucial each game is. Things are too critical.
"A lot of people don`t have these opportunities. We have to seize this moment."
The Browns will once again rely on the resilience they`ve shown all season. They haven`t lost consecutive games, which is quite a transformation for a team that had gone four years without back-to-back wins until breaking the string in October.
"We just all believe in each other," Shaffer said. "You`re not going to win every game and you can`t do anything about the past. All you can do is something about the future. And our future right now is this game, Sunday, versus New York."
The bounce-back principle was first evident in Week 2. The Browns held a players-only meeting following the 34-7 debacle versus Pittsburgh, rallied behind Anderson and outscored Cincinnati 51-45. They proved it wasn`t a fluke by recovering from difficult losses to Oakland, New England and Pittsburgh to win in Weeks 4, 6 and 11.
"Our confidence level stays high," center Hank Fraley said. "We trust in each other.
"We know we`re a better team than the week before. We screwed up last week, let`s make it right this week."
The Browns have shown the ability to rally within games and a season, but Fraley would like to take a detour on the road of least resistance.
"Good teams have got to be able to go on the road and win," he said. "This week hopefully we can right that ship, start fast and actually finish a game on the road. We haven`t played a complete game this year.
"Hopefully this week we can start it and you don`t ever have to ask these questions again."

Browns: Team has been slow starter on the road

The heavily hyped Segway scooters hit a speed bump. Every unit sold-all 6,000 of them-was recalled after three people were injured. Apparently, the futuristic vehicles sometimes throw riders off when the batteries get low.
America Online settled an unfair billing dispute with the Federal Trade Commission, promising to fix its method for accommodating customers who cancel their accounts. The agency charged that America's largest Internet provider kept billing people after they asked to drop the service. AOL vowed "exceptional customer service" and neither admitted wrongdoing nor paid a fine.
Visa is trying a new service that allows cell phones to store credit-card information. About 10,000 people in Japan can use their handsets instead of plastic to make purchases. If successful, the system could be available to the public as early as next year.
MusicMatch, the maker of popular song-playing software, jumped into online music sales, offering 200,000 tunes for 99 cents a pop. Tracks can play on up to three computers at once and a playlist of favorites can be burned onto a CD five times. The store at musicmatch.com is expected to push Apple toward making its iTunes service available to PC users.
Microsoft is retreating from the DSL business. The software giant decided to stop leasing lines from BellSouth, Qwest, and Verizon and reselling them under the MSN name. Remaining customers have until mid-November to transfer their accounts.


text: Fab.com on track to make $100m in sales in 2012 Silicon Europe 19 March 12 by Olivia Solon Fab.com / Screengrab Wired.co.uk Online design retailer Fab.com is on track to take more than $100m (£63m) in sales in 2012, having only launched in February 2011, according to founders Jason Goldberg and Bradford Shellhammer.The company famously pivoted from being a social networking site with 150,000 users to an "Amazon.com for design" last year. "We didn't want to spend another dollar or another day working on something we didn't believe in," said Goldberg, speaking at the London Web Summit.They shut down the old business and developed a new vision for a design retailer with discoverability at its heart. "A lot of the time people don't know what they need and just want to discover," Goldberg added.They put up a splash page on Fab.com announcing that a new daily design and inspiration service would launch with discounts of up to 70 percent. They had 50,000 members join within the first 30 days based solely on that splash page."We then got scared because we had no sales launch until June," Goldberg explained. As a result the team built an inspiration wall that let people upload pieces of design that they loved. "We were giving people something to do while they waited for our sales to start," he added. By June they had 165,000 pre-launch subscribers who had invited 500,000 people.On the first day they took more than $65,000 (£41,000) in sales. They had convinced designers including Milton Glaser, the creator of the original I love New York design, to sell products through Fab.com. Within a month of launching, Fab had doubled its membership to 350,000 members and had closed a funding round."In August 2011 we realised we weren't in the design sales business, but in the business of making people smile every day. We decided we'd be guided by emotion first. Our job is to wow and excite them. We look at products that wow people first and sales second. If we get people to share products on Facebook or Twitter, the sales will happen over time," Goldberg said.The company got more than a million members by November 2011 and is now running more than 30 flash sales events every day. It raised an additional $40 million (£25m) in December to expand and acquired German design site Casacanda in February, rebranding it as Fab.de. In the last month it has doubled both membership and sales.Since January 2012, Fab has grown its total membership from 1.5 million to 3 million. 50 percent of new members have come from social sharing. "You can't force that to happen. This is not about spamming people's address book but people taking the initiative to share," said Goldberg.Forty percent of the company's daily logins come from mobile, with iPad users being especially valuable members -- they have twice the lifetime value of web users and ten percent of all iPad users on Fab convert to purchase in the first week of having the iPad app. "We have had nine months of sales, and sold one million products as of 12 March. That's 111,111 per month, 2.6 per minute," said Goldberg. "For a company that didn't exist a year ago, it's phenomenal." Edited by Dan Smith Latest on wired.co.uk

Brief Synopsis
The author addresses the ways that the age of terrorism is affecting American grand strategy. He contends that terrorism has made many of the basic concepts of international relations and national security obsolete. Declaring war on a tactic—terrorism—erodes the clarity necessary for coherent strategy. Dr. Worley then develops what he calls a "guerra strategy" more appropriate for dealing with terrorism and other nonstate threats.

Obama Enacts Order On Cuts
Both sides refuse to budge on $85 billion spending reduction
March 2, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — Gridlocked once more, President Barack Obama and Republican congressional leaders refused to budge in their budget standoff Friday as $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts......
If that is the joint effort outcome, THEY have squandered the peoples time and resources for 18 months on the farce.

Liberals think that giving food stamps and welfare to millions of lazy ass Americans will "stimulate" the economy but that spending a fraction of this money to employ highly paid defense industry workers who pay taxes will NOT "stimulate" the economy.
Now, I know that most libbies don't understand even basic economics but people working and paying taxes is FAR more advantageous than people not working and collecting tax transfers.

"Mein Kampf author Adolf Hitler (who, as I understand it, campaigned on the slogans of "hope" and "change") said all the problems of Germany were the result of Jews. He also said Jewish politicians were responsible for the Armistice of 1918, and they forced Germany to pay huge amounts of money and goods for reparations."
obama, who also campaigned on the "Hope and Change" slogan said all the problems of America are the result the Republicans. He also said police, fireman, teachers will lose their jobs. Borders will be unsecure and children will go without food and medicine, etc.
What we are hearing today is right out of the Hitler playbook!

Weekly Standard 3/2/2013
Its Official: Obama the $6 TRILLION dollar man!!
Since President Barack Obama took office in January 2009, more than $6 trillion dollars has been added to the national debt.
"Without fanfare, the Bureau of Public Debt at the Treasury Department quietly posted its daily debt report showing the total public debt of the U.S. government topped $16.687 trillion"On January 20, 2009, the day Mr. Obama took office, the debt stood at $10.626 trillion. The latest posting reflects an increase of over $6 trillion."
And debt is expected to increase by nearly another trillion this year.
It's an historic achievement for Obama, CBS notes.
"It's the largest increase to date under any U.S. president. During the eight-year presidency of George W. Bush, the debt soared by $4.9 trillion."

We need to have the showdown before the dollars is completely worthless and China owns most of the country from loans made to Obama. Now is better than later. Obama does not compromise but the Republicans in the House have compromised several times to avoid these showdowns. Obama's power comes from purchased votes of the 47% and the emerging illegal vote. He has to pay them from our money to keep them. He has never visited very many place in America (would never have come to WV if not for the Big Branch disaster) and does not care much for America as a nation. His problem is that the Constitution allows (for now) people to vote and they voted in a GOP majority in the House after Obama's first two yrs in offce when he controlled both Houses of Congress. Why do we assume that a political party controls the House? We voted those people in and we dumped out of town Mollohan and put in a Republican. The House is doing it's job, like it or not. Exactly what they are supposed to do.

Click here for the latest Swimming World coverage of the FINA World Championships, including full results and recaps
UniversalSports.com Daily Coverage, including webcasts
ROME, Italy, July 29. IN an incredibly fast finale, South Africa's Cameron van der Burgh claimed the world record in the men's 50 breast at the FINA World Championships.
van der Burgh topped the world record with a 26.67, lowering the 26.74 he set in earlier heats.
Brazil's Felipe Silva placed second for silver in 26.76, downing his top time of 26.89. Mark Gangloff of the United States rounded out the podium with a bronze-winning time of 26.86. That swim beat Kevin Swander's American record of 27.14.
Germany's Hendrik Feldwehr and Australia's Brenton Rickard both missed the podium with sub-27s as they tied for fourth with matching 26.95s.
Slovenia's Matjaz Markic (27.10), Slovenia's Emil Tahirovic (27.31) and Brazil's Joao Gomes Jr. (27.31) completed the final heat.

The beginning of film is often dated to 1895 when the brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière introduced their "cinématographe" to the public in Paris with the film "La Sortie des usines Lumière" (engl.: Workers leaving the Lumière-Factory). The impression of a moving image starts for the human eye at 16 to 18 pictures per minute. The traditional sound film is shot in 24 pictures per minute on 35-mm-film. The idea that film could be an art form of its own and not just an attraction for the masses did not establish itself until the 1920s.
Hollywood and Film: Inextricably
Hollywood has become a synonym for film industry. The so called Golden Age of Hollywood between the 1930s and the late 1950s bore a lot of motion pictures that still today are very popular, like for example those of Alfred Hitchcock or Billy Wilder. Hollywood had a huge influence on film all over the world – an influence that was also watched critically. For example the French film makers of the Nouvelle Vague rejected the "industrialized" production of film, the star system as well as the power of the studios and contrasted it with the author's film that was to be more independent and of greater artistic value.
Videos and Movies
The video is different from film concerning aesthetics, purpose and also technical and financial aspects. The digital age has changed the attitude towards film once more. Expensive material or expert knowledge are no longer needed to produce a film. Cameras are affordable and basic film editing can easily be done at home. Digital cameras are picking up and even movie theatres are changing over to digital screening technology.

HP Envy 700-056 More Problems
I have had ongoing issues with my new HP Envy 700-056. I have already posted to the forum site regarding the constant problem with my monitor going black....some of the solutions have included getting a dedicated graphics card, to adjusting the "sleep" function etc. I finally decided to add a NVIDIA graphics card. The card is a GEFORCE GTX 630. I was told this would work, went to install it only to find out that is requires at least 400 watts of power and this Envy only comes with 300 watts....so back to the store to buy a power upgrade. Purchased a 700 watt power supply (which I was told was ok by HP) got it installed, installed the graphics card only to have it give me an error message. The error message stated that this graphics card was not compatible with this model desktop. So, now I have a new power source, a monitor that constantly blacks out, a non-working graphics card......what next???????
Anyone with any explanation(s)????? HP, why to low watts on a desktop????? Aren't desktops meant to be upgradable???? Thought that was the whole point behind desktops??????
Re: HP Envy 700-056 More Problems
HI nohelpbb:
Thank you for your reply.
I regret that your graphics card is not compatible.
I am sending you a link to the specifications for your system click here.
If you notice your system has 1 PCI Express x16 (Gen2.0).
A card matching these specifications should work. Most 2.0 cards are backwards compatible but not all.
Any cards that are above 2.0 are not backwards compatible.
The only way to know for certain if it works, is to try it and see.
I hope this helps.

Re: HP Envy 700-056 More Problems
Hi, nohelp:
Check out this thread on Tom's Hardware. i did a little research and found a Radeon graphics card that is supposed to work best with teh A-10 Richland processor and its embedded ATI Radeon HD 8670D Graphics.
I just ordered the new card, 16G of additional RAM and a 700w power supply. They all just showed up at my doorstep. I'll be installing today, and will let you know here how it goes!

Why wasn't this problem detected and solved before the the computer went to
the market place ??
Re: HP Envy 700-056 More Problems
Hi HP700-056,
You shouldn't have to buy an additional graphics card the original poster was trying to upgrade and that is what was causing their problem. Are you getting a black screen? If so, when does it happen? What operating system are you using?

Thank you,

The longer I live in China the more I am thankful my parents made the decision all those years ago to move to England. I hear many stories of horrific experiences Chinese friends have when trying to apply for visas to travel abroad.
In the last month I've heard of two completely independent stories relating the the Canadian visa centre in Shanghai that I found shocking.
My friend is Canadian but his wife is Chinese and they have a young child who was born here. The list of complaints is quite long and started with the usual ones, such as being incorrectly informed of what documents needed to be presented, resulting in wasted trips back and forth. Fine if you are unemployed, more problematic if like most people you actually work.
When my friend's wife returned to the visa office with the correct documents, they had to wait for 2 hours with the small child who understandably became restless and started crying as babies are known to do from time to time. The response to this by one of the Chinese visa centre staff was to mutter "I wish I could just slap that baby across the mouth to shut him up"!
Another friend also applied in July for a visa. She has family / friends there so the apllication was classed as "family visit". For this the Canadian visa office demanded the following:
1. An invitation letter stating the purpose and duration of the visit (quite reasonable).
2. A list showing the number of people in inviter's household (erm, okay).
3. A copy of the inviter's citizenship or immigration status document (e.g. Permanent Resident Card – please copy both sides, Study Permit, Work Permit, etc.)
4. Proof of inviter's income and financial situation in the form of independent, third-party documentation from a Canadian source which is reliable or easily verifiable (seriously??).
When my friend called the visa hotline, she was also told she needed the inviter to visit the visa office in Shanghai. Yes, in addition to providing the items listed above, they were suggesting the inviter fly from Canada to Shanghai to visit the visa office in person! My friend pointed out that this could not possibly be correct but the girl on the phone insisted this was a requirement. When my friend went to the visa office in person, she was told this was (of course) untrue and there was no need for the friend in Canada to fly over.
Throughout the whole process the visa centre staff seemed unsure of the process and constantly referred to the staff manual whenever they were asked a question.
In a word, it was a shambles and my Canadian friend wrote a strongly worded complaint letter to the consulate. Apparently one change has already been implemented as a result : people with infants no longer need to wait in line.
My friend eventually gave up on the friend visit visa and applied instead for a standard tourist visa, which is what you apply for if you know nobody there and just want to go travelling. Surprisingly, it seems easier to get a visa if you don't know anyone there!
So both friends eventually got their visas so it has all worked out nicely. And this little story is nothing compared to the US visa application story I have lined up for you, so stay tuned!

It has nothing to do with the fact that Thanksgiving signals the beginning of the holiday season – I actually hate the holiday season – and it has nothing to do with family togetherness, either – I'll leave you to fill in that blank. It's just that I kind of have a thing for reflective holidays, and Thanksgiving is the king of them.
My life is crazy and frenzied, and the good majority of it is spent running around trying to fit two days worth of activities into one. And then, of course, the time that isn't spent running around is spent complaining about how I'm always running around, and this state of affairs just doesn't lend itself to much reflection upon the things in my life that are actually good. And so, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I'd like to take this opportunity to list the things for which I am thankful. Now, this isn't going to be a sappy list. The big things (kids, husband, health, home), those go without saying. My intention here is to give thanks for the little things in life; the things that make my running around, tired, complaining, frenzied life just a little bit more tolerable each day.
And so, without further ado, here are the (Almost) Top Twelve Things For Which I Am Thankful This Thanksgiving.
12. I am thankful that the Disney Channel does not run commercials for toys (unlike Nickelodeon), as this allows me to get through the morning lunch-packing, breakfast-making, teeth-brushing rush without my having to be summoned to the couch every twenty minutes in order to be told just how much my daughter really, really, wants something.
11. I am thankful for Annie's Organic Macaroni and Cheese, because somehow, the word organic makes me feel infinitely less guilty about serving Mac & Cheese for dinner multiple times in one week.
10. I am thankful for Nancy Pelosi.
9. I am thankful that my digital camera has the capability to take one-minute videos, because without it I would have virtually no live footage of my children during their childhoods, save for a few school events and one birthday party where I actually remembered to both charge and bring my video camera.
8. I am thankful that sand, dirt, worms, sequins, beads and small rocks can be flushed down the toilet without incident.
7. I am thankful for nap time, especially when it lasts longer than expected.
6. I am thankful for my Blackberry Handheld Wireless, as it allows me to pretend that I am working when in fact I am watching my daughter's ballet class, playing with my son at the park, or shopping for new shoes at Barney's.
5. I am thankful for the shoe department at Barneys.
4. I am thankful for Target.
3. I am thankful that my son can easily be bribed with chocolate.
2. I am thankful for those adult musicians who make children's music that is not only tolerable, but even somewhat enjoyable, for other adults.
And, finally, the (Almost) Top Thing for Which I Am Thankful This Thanksgiving:
1. I am thankful that my husband and I had the foresight to pick out dark carpeting for our house, as the dirt, chocolate milk, crumbled cookies, and other unidentifiable stains that are ground into them and that I neither have the time nor the inclination to clean (okay, let's not kid ourselves, that the carpet cleaners whom I keep forgetting to call to come clean), are that much less obvious.
And there you have it. I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving, I hope you take some time out to reflect, and I welcome your posts about the little things that anyone else might have to be thankful for this year.

America's Next Top Model
Why Laura LaFrate Will Win America's Next Top Model Cycle 18
Zagilicious or Illuminata? Blonde or pink? Pirate or pixie? Rocker or fairy? Edgy or feminine? The last episode of America's Next Top Model Cycle 18: British Invasion will air May 30 and it's not exactly a shocker who made the finals — American Laura LaFrate and British Sophie Sumner — but it's a total toss-up who could win. Here are some reasons why the win could go to Laura. Check back later for reasons it could go to Sophie.
1. She's American
It's not like they couldn't give the title to a Brit, but it is America's Next Top Model and after AzMarie left it was pretty clear Laura was going to take the top U.S. spot.
2. Her makeover was huge
Total game-changer. Do you even remember what she looked like with her (cringe) crimped mousy brown hair on the premiere? When she got her platinum makeover, it made her features stand out and instead of just being the crazy comic relief who overshares about her orgasms, she became a major contender. Best makeover of the season.
3. She's had the top photo three times
That's once more than Sophie — plus, she had back-to-back wins on late-in-the-cycle episodes 9 and 10. And she has kind of her own signature pose, the Zagalicious body bend. She knows her angles and shows them off well. Sophie never takes a bad photo, but Laura's photos tend to be more striking.
4. Kelly Cutrone loves her
We all have favorites, but we're not all judges — Kelly hasn't even tried to hide that her heart belongs to Laura. She said she wanted to set her up with a rock star and each week she usually saves her biggest praise for the edgy girl.
5. She's sexy
Some of the models think Laura's too sexual to be a good role model, but her wild child charms worked on guest judge Nicholas Tse and won her a trip back to Hong Kong. Her mature, hard-edged sexuality may actually give her an advantage and definitely sets her apart from the more spritely Sophie.
6. She has a transformation story
ANTM loves inspiring stories — overcoming obstacles and rising from tough backgrounds to find success, etc. Laura has talked about her rough tomboy childhood and insecurities, sharing a memory of being age 9 and coming home to the smell of stale beer. She felt like she wasn't good enough for her parents to stay sober for her. She also talked about how her best friend died right before she went on ANTM and it made her frustrated when the other girls got upset and cried over nothing.
7. She's passionate
Yeah, sometimes her passion turned into too much aggression (especially at Kyle and then at Eboni) but she's great at showing raw, genuine emotion in photos and just being up for almost anything on set. She was one of the only models not terrified in the Hong Kong tower shoot and she loved bonding with the silkworms. Her only struggles have been with her walk and being feminine — but even her Dream Come True photo on Episode 12 was actually pretty beautiful, so when she has to do classic pretty she can pull it off. As the judges noted, she's the "total package."
Catch the finale of ANTM Cycle 18 Wednesday, May 30 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
