LABOR frontbenchers have dodged more questions about the adequacy of tougher benefits imposed on more than 80,000 single parents this week.
From January 1, single parents with children aged eight and older were moved from parenting payments to the Newstart allowance, losing up to $110 a week.
Amid growing calls for Newstart to be raised from the current $246 a week - about $35 a day - Labor MPs tried to hose down debate over Families Minister Jenny Macklin's claim on Tuesday that she could live on the dole. Ms Macklin earns about $850 a day.
Asked whether she believed she could live on the dole, Health Minister Tanya Plibersek said: ''Oh, look, I'm not going to get into that.''
She said: ''I think that anyone would understand that it is hard to live on an income support payment, and that's why as a government we've increased the age pension, we've increased disability pension [and] we've increased carers' support, but Newstart allowance for unemployment is designed to be a temporary payment.
''The very best thing that we can do for families that are unemployed - particularly families with kids - is make sure their parents have the skills, the training necessary, and ultimately a job.''
Ms Plibersek - speaking in Sydney - and Treasurer Wayne Swan - speaking on the Sunshine Coast - responded to questions about the adequacy of the dole with statements on Labor's job record.
Mr Swan said it would be ''tough'' to live on the dole, but refused to say whether it should be raised. He said the government provided ''generous'' extra payments to families, including the School Kids Bonus and Family Tax Benefits A and B.
Greens senator Rachel Siewert said she had been contacted by single mothers who were distressed that they had been ordered to destroy their pensioner concession cards when their parenting payments expired, meaning they no longer qualified for the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and cheap medications.
''For a single parent already living on the edge, the extra assistance of the concession card is significant,'' Senator Siewert said.

Members of the public can soon have a first look at proposals for dualling the A30 at Temple.
There will also be an exhibition at Blisland Village Hall on Thursday, January 10 and Friday, January 11 with a computer generated 'fly through' and images of the planned route on display.
Cornwall Council was given the green light to proceed with proposals to dual the three mile stretch of the A30 between Temple and Higher Carblake, after the Government confirmed it would put £30m into the scheme.
The Council will match this funding, as well as finance all the preparatory costs of delivering the scheme on behalf of the Highways Agency. The innovative scheme has been designed by CORMAC Solutions Ltd, the Council's highways service provider.
Initial discussions with local residents and interested parties has helped inform the current design – now as part of the official consultation process, the exhibition will give members of the public an opportunity to view the latest designs and have their say.
"It is really important that people get involved in this consultation process and I look forward to meeting them at the exhibition," said Councillor Bert Biscoe, Cornwall Council portfolio holder for transportation, highways and environment. "We would very much like to get as many people involved as possible – it's your moor, your road."
"I hope everyone is able to attend the exhibitions," said Councillor Mick Martin, Cornwall Council local Member for Lanivet. "And if you can't make either exhibition, there is still the opportunity to have your say – so please do."
The exhibition which will be open between 10.30am and 8pm on Thursday, January 10 and between 8am and 8pm on Friday, January 11.
*If you are unable to attend the exhibition, you can find out more about the proposals at www.cornwall.gov.uk/majorschemes. You can also write to; Engineering Design Group, Cornwall Council, Murdoch Building, Scorrier, Redruth TR16 5EH, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01872 323313.

Groundbreaking Kicks Off Little River Turnpike
Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
June 12, 2003
Groundbreaking Kicks Off Little River Turnpike/
John Marr Drive Streetscape Improvements in Annandale
State Delegates Robert "Bob" Hull and Vivian Watts, Mason District Supervisor Penny Gross, Braddock District Supervisor Sharon Bulova, President of the Annandale Central Business District Planning Committee Dan McKinnon, committee Vice President Eileen Garnett, with other members of the committee and the board of the Annandale Chamber of Commerce broke ground Wednesday, June 11, to commemorate the start of construction of the Little River Turnpike/John Marr Drive Streetscape Improvements in Annandale. The ceremony was at 4 p.m. along the John Marr Drive frontage of the Kmart store, 4251 John Marr Drive.
The Little River Turnpike/John Marr Drive Streetscape project is part of the Annandale Commercial Revitalization Initiative. The project improvements extend along Little River Turnpike from Backlick Road to John Marr Drive along the service drive, and along John Marr Drive from Little River Turnpike to Columbia Pike. The project includes streetscape and minor roadway improvements such as retiming and reconfiguring the traffic signal at the intersection of John Marr Drive and Columbia Pike, and lengthening the northbound John Marr Drive left turn lane at this intersection.
As Supervisor Gross stated, the emphasis of the streetscape improvements is on making, "the area more pedestrian friendly for folks who want to walk from place to place." Therefore, the streetscape enhancements will not only include things to improve the appearance of the area, like landscaping and decorative acorn streetlighting, but also features that will make the street more accessible for pedestrians. These include brick paver sidewalks/crosswalks, bus shelters, benches, trash receptacles, signal replacement and upgrade at the John Marr Drive/Little River Turnpike intersection, and curb and gutter/driveway replacement or repair.
Supervisor Bulova congratulated the committee on their foresight in planning these pedestrian friendly features for the community. She cited data from her recently completed Community Dialog on Transportation and Land Use that indicates, "people want communities with mixed use and walkability - more pedestrian friendly communities," like this one.
Funding for the project is from commercial revitalization bonds. Construction cost for this project is an estimated $2.8 million. The project is expected to be completed in 18 months.
For more information about the streetscape improvements, call Frank Roberts, project manager, or Larry Ichter, chief, Transportation Design Branch, Planning and Design Division, Department of Public Works and Environmental Services at 703-324-5800, TTY 711.

A creative mother-of-two from Ilkley is proud to have flourished in her first year in her vintage business, with the support of other local businesswomen.
Jackie Davison set up Rose Pink Vintage, a vintage china hire and event styling business, in January 2013.
Formerly Head of Lower School at Harrogate Ladies College, she says it was a huge step to take the plunge in business.
She credits part of her success to support she has received from other local businesses and groups. Jackie is an active member of the Ilkley Business Forum and women-only networking groups such as Aspiring Women in Business, based in Ilkley, and Ladies Just Wanna Have Lunch, based at The Leeds Club.
She scours antique and charity shops all over Yorkshire, as well as browsing vintage fairs and making trips to local auction rooms, in order to find china, cake stands, linen and vintage props.
She also reuses old objects, utilising them in unusual ways, such as transforming leather suitcases into table plans for weddings and even hand-makes her own bunting.
"I have met so many inspiring people over the last 12 months, that there has never been a dull moment," she said.
"I am so excited and optimistic about the future and I am really look forward to creating gorgeously-unique weddings, corporate events and vintage-style events all over Yorkshire."

About the Book
A Tribute in art to the 29 men who departed this earth, as one, in November 2010 as a result of the Pike Mine explosions in New Zealand and ascended to continue their eternal soul journey.
Each of them in turn, inspired one, of the 29 series of soul paintings here but I have not identified which individual inspired which work because they are a Soul Group. Accordingly the entire body of artwork and commentary is to be taken as a totality representing the whole: The UNITY.

About the Creator
I am a writer, artist, business journalist, publisher and educator. I have juggled the esoteric with the mainstream throughout East and West for many years after starting out in New Zealand. "How About That" was created in response to a request for an artistic interpretation of the genesis of the 2008 Olympics in China. The resultant work was displayed via media art in a gallery in Beijing at the time. And presented at a convention in 2009 at Fengshan. Creativitiy and right brain thinking are my areas of research and interest. "Creativity for Life" is the product of working with some typical young students in Hong Kong who once encouraged to use their creativity proved how valuable they will be as leaders of the future.

The buildings predate Ebbets Field Stadium, which predate Ebbets Field Apartments....
Most of the buildings are gone, but the one in use by the Spice company remains.
Crown Height's Consumers Park Brewery on Franklin Ave.In 1908, when Charley Ebbets was looking around Brooklyn for a place to build his ballpark, he decided on an obscure part of town near Prospect Park that lay in between the neighborhoods of Flatbush and the St. Marks District. It was called Crow Hill, and was undeveloped, an ash dump, actually, with little going on except for a couple of rambling industrial complexes. One of these industrial groups was the Flatbush Hygeia Ice Company, at 984 Franklin Avenue, and the other was home to the Consumers Park Brewery; a complex of buildings that made the beverage that helped make Brooklyn: lager beer. For Charles Ebbets this was perfect, for what goes better than baseball and ice cold beer.
946 - 978 Franklin
I can still smell the spices when I walk by.
Also, the name of the nearby apartment complex is Ebbets Field Apartments, not Houses. :sunny:
I fixed the name of the complex.
I do find it wierd how much unused land there is around the Spice building.
Assuming it is zoned residential, I suspect we will get some more neighbors.
There also used to be a BRT Consumer Park stop on what is now the Franklin Ave. Shuttle; that stop was later replaced by the Botanic Garden stop. The 1918 Malbone Street disaster was between the Consumer Park and Prospect Park stops.
I believe the Malbone Street wreck was right under Empire Boulevard. The street's name was changed from Malbone Street to Empire Boulevard because of the incident. (There is a stub of Malbone Street near the 71st Precinct.)
I see from the old map posted above that there was a street that ran through what is now part of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. I wonder what used to be there.
is it just me, or do others hear a "tick, tick, tick" noise as one walks by this complex and the surrounding vacant lots?A "tick. tick, tick" that ends in the spices being moved to ENY and the site being converted into condos, and a lot of construction on the surrounding vacant lots.I heard this evening that this site has been sold. No word yet on who purchased this lot; I don't think that info is of public record yet.
Lev stated that at present, the business has not been sold and that there are no plans for it to close and/or relocate.

Topic: My skyline changes, again!!
Hi all,
Just thought I would share a few vids with you again. The skyline and view of Bonnie Dundee changed again today with more of our multi's getting the heave, or being blown up to be more precise!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-t … l-23119212
This time the demolition was slightly different from all of the previous times, as this time there is a very small church between the 2 tower blocks, or multi's as we call them here! My mate Grant lives in one of the surrounding streets and he had to be evacuated before they were demolished along with everyone else. I hope that his window cleaning is going well tonight!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk4yAG82 … e=youtu.be
That's about half a mile from my flat and the explosion was loud to say the least!

Runners run, cyclists cycle and swimmers swim. For the most part that's just how it is: endurance athletes sticking close to their sport of choice, with very few venturing into the forbidden realm of strength training. In fact, if you talk to many athletes and avid exercisers, the two forms of training appear to be totally mutually exclusive.
New scientific findings, however, paint a very different picture. Many experts even point to strength training as a reliable way for endurance athletes, especially runners, to greatly reduce their risk of injury.
The Arguments For
Of course, your musculoskeletal system is deeply involved in everything you do, even when you hardly notice it.
A quick look at the human knee, for example, shows a complicated system of muscles used, not only to move your leg, but also to support the movement. If any of those muscles are weak, it places more stress of the others to compensate.
This effect grows when you widen your lens and look at the body as whole. There are muscles that act as shock-absorbers, muscles that keep you steady and, obviously, those that move you forward. All of these need to be strong enough to meet the demands of your sport and keep you injury-free.
While you could make the argument that running builds the muscles needed for running, that's only true to a point. Any endurance activity builds endurance. In order to build a more solid support system, strength needs to be developed.
Designing Your Program
To be most effective, your strength training program needs to be tailored to your sport. Although balance training would be vitally important to a runner, it doesn't mean as much to a swimmer or even a cyclist. Swimmers would likely also want to put more emphasis on their upper-body than runners or cyclists would.
Consider the unique challenges of your sport, then, when deciding on which exercises to include in your program.
Since the goal here is to reduce the risk of injury rather than to cause injury, it's best to start light on the resistance and work your way up. Body weight training is a perfect modality for endurance athletes since it isolates certain muscle groups, requiring them to bear nothing but the weight you use doing your endurance training. Eventually, additional weight could be added to increase the difficulty of a given exercise.
To keep your progress steady, without interfering with your endurance training, dedicate one day to your strength training each week. If you really have to scratch the cardio itch, you can still do a light cardio cool-down for 10 minutes at the end of your workout.
An example workout, aimed toward a runner, might look something like this:
- One-legged Squats – 3 sets of 15 on each leg
- Back Lunges – 3 sets of 15 on each leg
- Push Up on an uneven surface – 3 sets of 10
- Place your hands on a pillow or balance plate
- Modify the movement to make it easier, if you need to, by kneeling
- Plank – 30 seconds
Rest for 90 seconds after each set before moving on to the next.

The sister of a much-loved Finchley character is "over the moon" a memorial will be put outside the supermarket where he would sit and chat to passers by every day.
Selina Higgins, 68, wept as she spoke of her joy at discovering a bench and plaque will be installed outside Sainsbury's in High Road, North Finchley, in memory of her brother, Horace White.
Mrs Higgins told the Times Series: "I'm on a high – it's so wonderful. Everyone's love for Horace has given me so much joy. I'm over the moon."
Born Stanley Alfred White, Horace was a familiar face in the area and was well known for chatting to people in the street, wishing them the "best of luck".
The 54-year-old died in September 2012 after collapsing outside the Whittington Hospital.
His death sparked a flurry of response on the internet, with more than 10,000 people "liking" a Facebook page entitled RIP Horace.
Last July Barnet Homes also dedicated a garden to his memory in the Grange Estate, East Finchley, where he used to live.
Barnet Borough Council has confirmed it will install the bench and plaque in High Road as part of improvement work in North Finchley.
Mrs Higgins, who lives in Gloucester Road, Edmonton, said: "Horace would love it – especially outside his favourite supermarket."

How To Tell A Man By His Drink
You can tell a lot about a guy by his choice of beverage!
-Dater Julie
Let's face it: a lot of the time we meet men at the bar. We're laid back, having a good time, and it's inevitable that we're checking out the merchandise. But how many times have you gotten stuck in a convo with a dude who was cute from afar, but once you started talking, realized he had the IQ of a thumbtack or the ego of Kobe Bryant?
Read Excuses To Get Out Of A Date
You can learn a lot about a man without even talking to him. It's as easy as observing one obvious detail that you may not notice right away: What he's drinking. Like me after a few too many, an adult beverage says 1,000 words. Including cheap, manly, wimpy, daredevil, boring. You get it.
Beer is probably the most commonly chosen drink by men at a bar. Based on no evidence other than my own two eyes, it's the All-American choice for guys and girls alike. Saying you don't like beer is like saying you don't like apple pie.
But, for as many different kinds of beer, there are as many different kinds of men. There's the Bud/Coors/Miller man, who is as watered down as his drink. Domestic beers all taste the same. It's plain and simple. So either homeboy's just out for a cheap buzz or he's about as exciting as dirty laundry.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. – It may have finished with a tie score, but it might feel like a win for the 10th-ranked Saint Leo men's soccer team as the Lions scored a goal with just three minutes left in regulation to fight for a 1-1 draw with Nova Southeastern. The Lions tallied their first tie of the season in the Sunshine State Conference game on Saturday night.
Before the Saint Leo last-minute magic, the lone goal for NSU came from David Robles. The score came in the 29th minute, when Juan Rodriguez crossed the ball to Robles at the top right corner of the box. Robles' solid strike put the Sharks ahead for the remainder of the first half.
The hosts nearly doubled their lead later in the first half when the Sharks had a breakaway one-on-one play. Saint Leo was caught up contesting a call, while the ref urged play to continue. The Sharks took a quick free kick and played the ball ahead of the defense, but goalkeeper Manuel Schoenhuber made a great save.
The best save of the match came in the 35th minute. The Sharks committed a foul in their own box to set up a Lions penalty kick. Maximilian Schulze-Geisthovel, one of the Lions' leading scorers, sent the penalty kick to the low right corner of the goal. Andrea Giombetti came up with the diving save to keep his team ahead. Giombetti finished the night with seven saves.
The Sharks played a physical second half and maintained their lead for the majority of the period. However, Saint Leo would equalize in the 87th minute on a goal by Chris Lavie. Lavie scored from right in front of the goal on a cross from the left side to send the Lions' bench into a frenzy.
Overtime was a back and forth struggle for both teams, with Saint Leo taking the edge is shots, 6-5. However, the home team pressed right down to the wire and nearly scored in the final minute of play. As an exclamation on the night, Nova Southeastern had two shots on goal in the 120th minute that required diving saves from Schoenhuber.
Saint Leo took its first draw of the season, after entering the match going unbeaten outside of a loss to undefeated No. 2 Rollins. Saint Leo needed six saves against NSU, the Lions' second highest mark this year.
Saint Leo will head back to south Florida when they face Barry on Monday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. in Miami Shores, Fla.

Online Parking games are a sub-genre of online Car Games, just like 4x4 games and Drifting games.
Free online Parking games require other skills that car racing games.
In free car racing games your goal is to ain first place in a race. For that you need to drive as fast as you can, and you need to aquire racing driving skills, like shifting gear quickly and how to handle turns.
In parking games the speed is less important, but more the accuracy and eye-hand connection.
Your goal is to slide the car to a designated parking area without hitting the car.

From all the free online motor sub-genre games, I guess the online 4x4 games are the most popular games.

Life Saving Healthcare
Hoja Verde, Ecuador
Hoja Verde is a family-owned flower estate located in Cayambe, Ecuador, a region known as the The Cayambe center of Ecuador's flower industry. In recent years the flower workers at Hoja Verde have elected to spend part of their Fair Trade Community Development Premiums on medical services for specialized preventative and urgent care. Children and youth who attend school may receive reimbursements for medicines and vitamins purchased. The fund covers 85 percent of the refunds for a maximum of $60 per person. This medical support program also includes vaccinations, benefiting over 100 workers and 150 children.
"The health center program is very important because with regular vaccinations, my children no longer get sick like they used to. It also helps me cover all of my children's medications and the money that I saved helps me provide quality food for my children. " - Rosa García, Hoja Verde Worker
Even though Americans spend $16 billion a year on decadent cocoa products, cocoa farmers face tremendous instability and extreme poverty. Fair Trade certification ensures that cocoa farmers receive a fair price for their harvest, creates direct trade links between farmers and buyers, and provides access to affordable credit. Fair Trade also strictly prohibits slave and child labor. This Valentine's Day, support a better life for cocoa farmers by sharing your favorite Fair Trade Certified confection with your friends and family.

The spirit of the London Marathon was evident in Colerne as friends of retired army officer Bernadette Rigby, 49, packed into The Fox and Hounds pub to cheer her on.
Bernadette, a former warrant officer, completed the marathon in 4hrs and 25mins, raising more than £2,200 for Prostate Cancer UK.
While she was slogging round the 26-mile course her friends and family packed into the local pub to watch the race, while her son Jake prepared a marathon morning breakfast.
She said: "The atmosphere was amazing, the whole of London was buzzing.
"Thirty people turned up for the big breakfast at the pub, and I had a lot of texts from friends saying they were having a full English for me.
"They had a big board up outside the pub, and it was great to know I had that much support back home.
"It was such a special occasion, the people on the sidelines were so supportive and you find yourself forgetting that it's 26 miles, the word marathon disappears into the event itself.
Bernadette signed up for the marathon as the first of a series of endurance challenges before she is 50 in October, with an off-road marathon over the Mendips still to come.
She said: "I'm going to have today off, but I will definitely be back on the road on Tuesday for a no-pressure run, then back in the gym at the Olympiad on Wednesday."

ASCO Annual Meeting
May 18, 2011
In an analysis of the genes of more than 2,200 patients, researchers found that patients with specific genetic variations were more likely to develop peripheral neuropathy from chemotherapy with drugs called taxanes than patients without these changes. Peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage that causes pain and numbness. About one-third of patients who receive chemotherapy with a taxane develop neuropathy, and it can keep a patient from receiving a full dose of chemotherapy. The only other known risks of peripheral neuropathy are older age and a history of diabetes.
In this study, researchers looked for a correlation between changes in a person's DNA called single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, and the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy. Patients who had no changes to the specific gene examined in this study had a 27% chance of developing neuropathy. But, patients who had one change to the gene had a 40% chance and those who had two changes had a 60% chance of developing neuropathy. The study also showed that older patients and African Americans were much more likely to develop neuropathy.
What this means for patients
"These findings may allow doctors to know before recommending therapy whether the patient has a high risk of developing neuropathy from taxanes," said lead author Bryan P. Schneider, MD, a physician and researcher at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center and Associate Director for the Indiana Institute for Personalized Medicine. "This may allow for better counseling, use of alternative drugs or schedules, or not using taxanes when appropriate. These genetic findings might also provide insight into how this side effect develops and lead to drugs to prevent it altogether." Research is ongoing to understand how to better predict a patient's risk of neuropathy, and this type of genetic testing is available only through clinical trials.
Questions to ask your doctor
- What type of cancer do I have?
- What are my treatment options?
- What are the potential side effects from treatment?
- How can these side effects be prevented or managed?

"Bill W." — a documentary about the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous is coming to Philadelphia this week.
"Bill W." tells the story of William G. Wilson, a man included in TIME Magazine's "100 Persons of the 20th Century."
Interviews, recreations, and rare archival material reveal how Bill Wilson, a hopeless drunk near death from his alcoholism, found a way out of his own addiction and then forged a path for others to follow.
In their weekly conversation, WHYY's behavioral health reporter Maiken Scott and psychologist Dan Gottlieb discuss the importance of AA.
The film plays at Philadelphia's Ritz East this week.

p1esk - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkSo, what is the purpose of this thing? The display is too small for browsing or texting. Use it as a dumbphone for old-fashioned phone calls? Maybe, I don't know...
And no, I don't care about music players as a separate device. Reply
Brian Klug - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkSimilar to every smartwatch that's out currently – notification delivery, screening of calls, playback control, and of course information display (weather/time/appointments). I'll have a full functionality rundown soon.
-Brian Reply
p1esk - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkAre there any "smartwatches" out currently? The only one I've ever seen was Nike bracelet with no display.
The more I think about it, I could actually see myself using a "smartwatch" as a dumbphone, especially if it offers good voice recognition for texting.
It has to look a lot more elegant than this one though. Reply
p1esk - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkWell, I guess you can say that Nike bracelet has a "display". Reply
Brian Klug - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkOff the top of my head, there are now:
1) Pebble
2) Sony SmartWatch and SmartWatch 2
3) MetaWatch
4) Motorola MOTOACTIV
5) Samsung Galaxy Gear
-Brian Reply
jeffreytz - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI currently own:
- Martian Passport (my favorite, wear it every day to work)
- Pebble
- MetaWatch (original TI developers version)
- MetaWatch Strata (Kickstarter)
- Sony LiveView (awful)
- Sony SmartWatch (better, but looks like a plastic toy on your wrist)
- I'm Watch (disaster)
Of the new contenders, the Toq definitely looks the best to me, I'm really interested in this one. I'm not impressed at all with the Samsung Galaxy Gear, but I don't use Sammy phones (my old Galaxy Nexus doesn't count) and I'm not going to pair it to my Samsung Galaxy Camera. I think the design of the new Sony SmartWatch 2 looks far better than the last SmartWatch but I need to see it in person.
I like the Martian best because I get all the notifications I want on the OLED screen at the bottom on a device that is a real analog watch. That said I do like the MetaWatch and the Pebble as far as how much information you can see at a glance, so there's trade-offs. The other cool thing about the Martian is you can answer a call on it without taking the phone out of your pocket, it has a mic and speaker, pretty handy when you're driving and didn't put your phone in the cradle.
JT Reply
Brian Klug - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkWow I had no idea about the Martian Passport, that looks phenomenal. Also that's a super comprehensive list there.
I might try and get a Martian Passport, I like the style.
-Brian Reply
dabotsonline - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkBrian, is there any chance that you'll be able to get hold of a review sample of the Omate TrueSmart at the same time the Kickstarter developers receive them (October?) The Sapphire Glass face has now been included as a standard feature and backers can pay $20 to upgrade the RAM from 512MB to 1GB. Reply
Brian Klug - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkGetting review samples of kickstarter products is usually really difficult or impossible, unless you know someone personally.
-Brian Reply
jleach1 - Saturday, September 07, 2013 - linkYep, Motorola has the MOTOACTV, and there are a few others that can not only interface with android, but they run it as well...which means that we can hack, flash, and mod them until our geeky hearts are full of love and are content. Reply
speculatrix - Thursday, October 17, 2013 - linkTI have a "smart watch" called the Chronos, and you can build your own apps for it.
I used quotes because it's really a development platform to help developers get acquainted with a specific SoC.
It uses low power radio rather than Bluetooth. It has a variety of sensors. Reply
Daniel Egger - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkYou basically it's a completely useless gimmick? Reply
kjmathew - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkLooks promising.
Here's what I'd look for in a smartwatch:
* Time! (hh:mm:ss ddd dd MMM YYYY)
* Battery life (4 to 5 days here?)
* Charging time
* Waterproof
* Scratchproof (Sapphire?)
* Timezones with GPS sync
* Do I have to turn this off on a plane?! Reply
kjmathew - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - link+ high pixel density display Reply
kjmathew - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkThat's a 223ppi 1.5" 288x192 display. 'll be interesting to see the 577ppi 600x600 next-gen version (Ref 2:12 of the video at http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/21/qualcomm-miraso... Reply
bah12 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkDon't forget price. Samsung just released pricing on theirs at $299...LMAO as if. Maybe $50-75 definitely not more than $100.
I feel like they are trying to reinvent the abacus here, didn't we kill off watches for a reason? Reply
UpSpin - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - link+ Outdoor readable display with zero power consumption while displaying static content, else the battery life won't survive.
+ Noise cancelling microphones for voice commands/speach recognition (answer short sms, short searchs, calling contacts by names, ...)
+ Metallic wrist band (If I pay $200+ for a watch, it must also look and feel good.)
+ slim design. It must be a device I can wear everywhere and all the time, not just while doing sports. Reply
Muthurasu - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkAny info about "HEAT DISSIPATION". I feel our wrists/nerves won't afford the heat. Any thoughts? Reply
omarccx - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkI want this, but not for $300. That could buy me a new Nexus phone. Reply
Deelron - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkIt at minimum is one step better then the Samsung one, you can actually use it as a watch. Reply
Kidster3001 - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkIs it possible to stream local content via BT to a headset and be connected to a phone for notifications at the same time? It seems I spend a lot of time being away from my phone for 1-2 minutes. BT usually can't reach that far and breaks so I'm either grabbing my phone to carry with me, if I remember, or reconnecting BT all the time. If I could change to streaming from the watch but still be connected to the phone for notifications it would be a great solution for me. Reply

|Raw colostrum
Whole milk, as needed
1-2 tsp salt
Mixing the colostrum with milk is an art one has to learn, but the rule of thumb is that if it's from the first milking, then it should be thinned 1:1, but if it's from the second milking, then it should be thinned with two parts colostrum to one part milk. To make sure you're getting the mix right, do a test batch and cook it to see how it comes out.
|Cooked colostrum
(As a matter of fact, in one recipe I have seen Ábrystir is served much like crème caramel: ramekins are coated with burnt sugar syrup, the colostrum and milk are mixed with sugar and a vanilla bean, poured into the ramekins and cooked in a water bath.)
|With cinnamon sugar
250 g sugar
1/4 litre hot milk
Put the sugar in a saucepan and heat until a white froth starts to form. Add the milk and stir to make a smooth sauce. Serve with Ábrystir, rice pudding, ris a la mande or other white milk-based puddings.

Firing Mike Rice: Too Little, Too Late
"According to an old saying, you play for a coach either because you love him or because you fear him," said Stephen Mosher, author of the book, "Where Have All the Heroes Gone" and an authority on sports ethics at Ithaca College. "But if a coach chooses to motivate his players through fear, he should be aware there's a line between coaching hard and abuse."
According to Rutgers officials, basketball coach Mike Rice crossed that line, and it cost him his job.
Videos of Rice's practice sessions show him shoving, pushing, and throwing basketballs at his players. (A video of Rice's objectionable behavior is available at: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=9125864)
A former university employee gave the videos to Tim Pernetti, the Rutgers athletic director, last November. After viewing the videos at that time, Pernetti recommended Rice for counseling. Today, however, with the videos becoming public, the athletic director terminated his head basketball coach.
Was Pernetti willing to keep Rice as long as no members of the public—including the players' parents—saw the video? Will Rice keep a low profile until it all blows over and get a coaching job somewhere else? Is this kind of abusive coaching the rule, not the exception? Have advancements in technology made abusive behavior harder to get away with?
"Not only was Rice fired three months too late, the evidence on the tape rises to criminal assault," Mosher said. "I'm surprised he hasn't been charged."
Plus, none of this happened in a vacuum.
"All the assistant coaches who allowed this to occur should be fired too, along with the athletic director," Mosher added. "Also, it's hard to believe members of the university administration weren't aware of Pernetti's so-called solution, along with the lawyers who approved it last fall. They too should be held accountable."
"The former employee, if he is a whistle blower, will be vindicated and, I assume, compensated but also blackballed. He'll be unemployable in college basketball. On the other hand, if he is an extortionist, then he's in bigger trouble."
Rice's situation draws parallels to the coaching career of Bobby Knight.
"Nothing about the situation with Rice is surprising," Mosher said. "Coaching through intimidation has been going on for decades. The only thing new is that technology now lets bystanders record everything they see. With so many media outlets, nothing can be kept under cover the way it has been in the past. The result is a democratization of media that is messy and narcissistic on the one hand, but also has the capacity to disseminate the truth on the other."
Mosher's expert page and a video clip of his insights on the contributions of sport to moral development are available at: /news/experts/?item=513
A video of Mosher speaking about the need for college athletes to be treated as professionals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu0iUFOfX4U.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/12/2012 (1716 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I found a photo of a pretty woman hidden under the loose bottom of my husband's office drawer at home when I was snooping. It was a photograph and she had signed it "With all my love." It appeared to be from about 20 years ago by the look of her hair. There was also a slim envelope with a love note in it referring to the erotic times they'd had together. Miss L., we have been married for 30 years, so he had an affair. This woman looks vaguely familiar. I am as jealous as if it was going on right now. Maybe it is! I took the photo and the letter and I hid it in the basement. Within 24 hours, my husband asked me if I had taken anything from his desk. That's how long it took him to miss it. That means he looks at it every damn day. What should I do now? I handed him the picture and said, "Who is she and what does she mean to you?" All he said was, "She's from my past and it's over." Riiiight! -- Second Rate Wife, Winnipeg
Dear Second Rate: Start digging. Confront your husband and find out what went on with her and why he looks at her daily. It may seem at first like it'd be easier not to bring it up and crack open a big mess that could result in the end of your relationship. But, if you try to suppress this conversation and all your festering questions, it will eat you alive. So ask, even demand, to know who she is, what their relationship was like, why they parted, what he feels for her now, whether he is in contact with her on the computer, if they have seen each other and what is happening. It may be there is something wrong in his relationship with you, or not! It may be that he is simply dreaming about her. A relationship doesn't have to go bad before another person can become important to a spouse. Sometimes it just becomes too predictable and a fascination with someone else comes to the fore. Get your marriage into counselling if need be, and you may he able to work this out.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I want a baby more than anything else in the world and I am lesbian. My lesbian wife does not want children of any kind, as it turns out. She says she is through with nurturing dependants as she was forced to play mother to her six siblings while her mom and dad went to work every day. I understand her problem, but she doesn't understand mine. When I left my husband for her, I thought we could have a modern lesbian marriage with the kids and the whole bit. Now I am tempted to go back to my ex-husband (not a bad guy) so I can have my dream of a family back. I thought I loved her more than him, but now she is slamming the door on children, I am wondering if I even love her. How could she feel so cold toward sweet little kids? How could she deny me this? -- Freaking Right Out, West End
Dear Freaking: This isn't fair to your ex-husband although you say he wants you back. Would you not be missing womanly sensuality if you went back to him? You have already rejected him once. Perhaps the answer lies in a different woman as a mate. Perhaps you need a woman who wants or has children. Do a lot of soul-searching this season and get some professional help as jumping back and forth hurting two people who don't quite fit, is not going to solve the problem for you -- which is to form a happy marriage with babies in the picture.

Yes, the job market is tight, but that doesn't leave bosses off the hook when it comes to managing staff.
"There is a management challenge under way," says professional coach Beverly Flaxington. "There is increasing pressure on managers to be more than managers—to be leaders, psychologists, problem-solvers, relationship-builders, and effective technicians."
A recent survey found that 86% of employees plan to switch jobs this year—something employers should take note of, because it's costly and ineffective for companies to keep training replacements, says Flaxington. With companies trying to do more with fewer people "managers have to be creative, they have to pull teams together, and figure out how to meet the (company) goals," she says.
An ongoing discussion in Citi's LinkedIn group, Connect: Professional Women's Network, addresses this topic, spurred by the question, "What makes a great manager?"
"The greatest managers I've worked with, and emulated, were the ones who were regularly engaged with their direct reports, fought for their teams when needed, communicated openly, and focused on employee growth," writes Michelle Sams Marko, a Senior Manager at a wireless communications company in the San Francisco area. "In short, they made me believe they cared about helping me in my career in addition to getting me the right tools to succeed in the current job."
Some of the qualities of a good manager are fundamental: Knowing how to hire good people and fire underperformers before they drag down the rest of the office, and how to run a good meeting, says Quint Studer, founder of Studer Group, a leadership coaching firm in Gulf Breeze, Florida. But great managers are also engaged with employees and ask them for regular feedback to make sure they have the tools they need and are meeting their goals, adds Studer, author of The Great Employee Handbook: Making Work and Life Better.
Good managers "offer priorities, process, and a clear path for those who need it," says Flaxington. One-on-one coaching can help with those skills, says Flaxington, author of Understanding Other People: The Five Secrets to Human Behavior.
"Good managers should not do the organizing on their own. Their most important job is mentoring and delegating," she says.
Good managers offer priorities, process, and a clear path for those who need it.
From both the LinkedIn comments and input from Studer and Flaxington, a few common traits of a good manager stand out:
She sees the staff as people.
"A great leader is concerned about results, yes, but is dually concerned that the people striving to obtain the results learn, mature, and reach for greater goals than just the results themselves," writes Tonisha Swanson, a Business Consultant in the Chicago area.
"The characteristics and skills to being a great manager are the same ones needed to be a great friend. Concern for the other person and leading them to develop," writes Nancy Winkler, an Independent Real Estate Agent in the Knoxville, Tennessee area.
A manager must get to know their employees personally, especially at a time when people are increasingly concerned with achieving work-life balance, says leadership coach Studer. "You have to know something about the person beyond what they do at work … If you work for me, I need to know what's going on. I need to know if your father's ill," he says.
She lifts obstacles for employees.
"I've always viewed my role as a manager or leader as one to set a vision and clear any barriers for people," writes Nancy Koors, President and Chief Operating Officer of Powerhouse Factories, a marketing agency in Cincinnati, Ohio. "Give them the end goal and let them get there in their own way, but be there if they need guidance or help," Koors explains.
Managers need to ask employees regularly if they have what they need to get the work done, says Studer. Employees assume the boss knows when something isn't working right but often, that is not the case, he says. "I need to say to you: 'Are the systems that you need working?' If the answer's yes, fine; if the answer's no, I need to know what I can do to fix it because that's wasted time," he says.
That's not as easy as it sounds, says Studer: "Bosses are afraid to do those things because they don't want to find out they can't fix it."
She asks for feedback.
"A great manager must be able to accept feedback, positive or negative," writes Terri Larry, a Certified Public Accountant in the Los Angeles, California area.
Studer suggests setting up a regular survey asking staffers to submit feedback anonymously: "Ask (on a scale of) one through five: 'How am I at doing meetings, setting expectations, answering questions, rewards and recognition, professional development, and addressing performance issues?'" This approach is not only helpful for identifying issues, but it will help morale to even ask, he says.
"I think we are all asked to be leaders and followers in some way, shape, and form," writes Beth Tunis, a Therapist and Life Coach in New York City. Indeed, the managers she has followed and learned from are those who kept employees informed and engaged with humor, respect, and passion for their work—who "walked their talk."

TPWD Biologists Seek Info on Turtle Collections as Commission Amends Prohibited Nongame Regs
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission acted Aug. 21 on staff recommendations to amend regulations on prohibited nongame species.
Among the changes approved by commissioners:
- Extend "grandfather" period for possession of prohibited nongame species for noncommercial use to Nov. 1, 2010.
- Allow for possession, captive breeding and sale of prohibited nongame species from out-of-state sources;
"These are relatively minor changes to rules that were established in October 2007," said Matt Wagner, Ph.D., TPWD's Wildlife Diversity Program director. "Among other things, the rules created a 'white list' of nongame wildlife legal for commercial collection and sale under the proper permit. Conversely, all nongame species not on the 'white list' are prohibited from commercial collection in the wild."
According to Wagner, TPWD biologists are most interested in hearing from collectors who keep box turtles and other prohibited nongame.
"It appears box turtles are the most common of the prohibited species, and some of the collections are pretty significant," he said. "We want to know who those folks are and what they have in possession."
Wagner pointed-out that contacting the department during the "grandfather" period can actually help turtle owners.
"We understand that collections change over time, especially for people who are breeding these animals," Wagner said. "But sometime down the road, if a collector gets checked by a game warden and the game warden contacts us, we can say, 'We have a record of that. This person has made a good-faith effort to comply with our regulations.'"
Wagner said TPWD biologists also are conducting several studies on turtles; one with Texas A&M University, reconciling TPWD export records of nongame species with U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service records; one with the Fort Worth Zoo, assessing at turtle populations in the Rio Grande and the Brazos River; and a 5-year project with Texas State University designed to assess the effect of commercial turtle harvests on private waters in several areas of the state.
Additionally, the TPWD Wildlife Diversity Program has recently published a turtle identification tool called "Texas Turtle Regulations," available on the department's Web site.
