DAVID Howell was one loose hole away from his best round of the week as he signed off at the Qatar Masters today.
The two-time Ryder Cup winner carded a three-under-par round of 69 at Doha Golf Club and finished in a tie for 22nd.
Howell had previously fired rounds of three-under, one-over and four-under and finished on nine-under overall, a figure which would have been better had the Swindonian not slipped to a double bogey on 15.
But otherwise the 37-year-old was in superb form, getting off to a flyer with birdies at the first, second and seventh.
After dropping two shots at the 15th, he immediately made up for it by making gains at the next two holes.
Bristol's Chris Wood secured overall victory by a single shot following a dramatic eagle at the 18th.
The focus of Dubai resident Howell now turns to his 'home' tournament, the Dubai Desert Classic, which begins at the Emirates Golf Club on Thursday.
Howell seized his first European Tour victory at the tournament in 1999, although that year it was played on a different course, the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club.

Kingsley looking for fresh start with Tigers
Former Geelong forward Kent Kingsley says he is determined to finish his career on a high note, after being picked up by Richmond in the AFL preseason draft on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old was the leading goal kicker in four of his six seasons with the Cats, however injury saw him post just 10 majors from nine matches in 2006.
Kingsley said he felt he had a lot to offer to the Tigers.
"I probably had a lot of confidence in myself that I still had some value to a side," he said.
"I wasn't too far off my best form I don't think early last year and I've just turned 28, so I still like to think I've got a few years left in me."
Richmond coach Terry Wallace said Kingsley had been training with the Tigers squad for the past month and was confident he could make an impact.
"We wanted to sort of see him on the training track and make sure that he was playing for all the right reasons and that's exactly what we saw," he said.
"A professional player wanting to finish his career on a high note."
Kingsley made his senior debut for the Kangaroos in 1999 before moving to Geelong in 2001.
He has so far played 122 matches while managing to register 237 goals.

Second Congressional District Rep. John Kline has raised $428,000 in the second quarter of the year, according to a campaign spokesman.
The Republican incumbent has made about $1.7 million since the start of the cycle and has about $1.3 million in the bank.
The state's political boundaries were redrawn earlier this year, and in the process, Kline lost conservative Carver County and gained more DFL voters.
As a result, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which helps Democrats get elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, thinks it can flip the 2nd district, and has pledged to help DFL Party-endorsed candidate Mike Obermueller with his campaign.
Nevertheless, Kline appears to be having a particularly fruitful fundraising year.
The last time Kline made roughly $428,000 in the second quarter was in 2002, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission; typically his 2nd quarter fundraising numbers were lower than that. And Kline has more cash-on-hand than he did in previous years.
The latest round of campaign finance reports are due July 15, but books closed on June 30.
Kline's primary opponent, David Gerson, and Obermueller have not yet released their fundraising hauls for the quarter.

POST chiefs have revealed there has been a 64 per cent increase in dog attacks on postmen and women in the town in the last year.
Royal Mail figures found 18 employees were bitten over the last 12 months from April 2014 in WA postcodes and hopes this week's 'Dog awareness week' will help highlight the need for 'responsible dog ownership'.
Owners are being urged to keep their dogs out of the way when the postman calls to prevent incidents and warned MPs, councillors and other campaigners are also at risk from dog attacks when out canvassing and leafleting.
Tony Baxter, delivery director, said: "We know that most dogs are not inherently dangerous, however, even the most placid animal can be prone to attack if it feels its territory is being threatened.
"We appeal to dog owners in the WA postcode area to keep their pets under control, especially if they know their pets have a territorial nature."

Albert Laessle's sculptures of insects, lizards, frogs, and snails were not always taken as seriously as the works of other animal sculptors. Laessle chose to sculpt animals because he found them to be as expressive as people. He enjoyed working with animals so much that he eventually moved his studio to a farm in the Pennsylvania countryside. Laessle gave this turkey enormous tail feathers to emphasize the bird's proud preening in the farmyard.

Some have the NBA Jam logo printed on them along with Pass/Shoot/Turbo over the buttons and red or blue in the circle at the foul lines, while some are just a plain court with white lines.

Macomb Township
Macomb to hire six new firefighters
By Jeremy Selweski
Posted June 19, 2013
MACOMB TOWNSHIP — The township will soon be bringing in half a dozen new members to its squad of paid-on-call firefighters.
At a June 12 meeting, the Macomb Township Board of Trustees voted unanimously to allow the Human Resources Department to extend offers of employment to the six new firefighters. According to a memo to the board from Fire Chief Robert Phillips, the recruiting process to fill these open positions has been underway for nearly 18 months — or since Dec. 28, 2011 — but all testing and interviewing of the applicants has only taken place since April.
The township received applications from 12 candidates, who each underwent some preliminary written and physical testing. A group of seven finalists were then interviewed by a selection committee that included Phillips, Township Supervisor Janet Dunn, Township Treasurer Karen Goodhue and Trustee Dino Bucci.
In a subsequent interview, Phillips said that the new firefighters still must complete post-offer procedures, such as a physical examination, a drug test, a psychological evaluation and a background check, but he expects all of them to begin their service on or around July 1.
Phillips noted that, not including the new employees, the Macomb Township Fire Department currently has 79 paid-on-call firefighters and seven full-time officer positions. He stated that his goal has always been to have at least 100 total firefighters in his department, with 25 assigned to each of the township's four fire stations. However, according to Township Clerk Michael Koehs, that has proven to be a very difficult task.
"We have always had quite a bit of turnover in our staff of paid-on-call firefighters," he explained. "Things change in their personal lives, and frankly, a lot of them receive offers from full-time fire departments, so they move on."
Koehs added that the pool of potential firefighters is further limited by the fact that they all must be Macomb Township residents in order to be considered for the job.
Of the six new employees, four are certified firefighters, while two are still only recruits at this point. As Phillips pointed out, the number of hours that paid-on-call firefighters work in Macomb Township varies significantly, but they make about $17 per hour while on standby and about $25 per hour after being called in for duty.
"We have fire protection services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but we operate differently than most other departments," Phillips said. "Our firefighters are on standby for eight-hour shifts, but some of them work a lot more shifts than others. It all depends on the individual and what they're able to do."
Recruits, meanwhile, are not yet full-fledged firefighters but are on track to get there in the near future. Phillips stated that all recruits have 18 months to complete the two phases of their firefighter training, as well as basic emergency medical technician training.
"This is mainly a learning process for them while they undergo their fire and EMT training," he said. "Until then, they have a very limited role with what they can do on the job because they can only perform the services that they are certified to perform. But it's a good experience for them to see how our department operates in the meantime."

Parissa Wax Strips Mini Eyebrow Design Reviews
Great at home WaxI usually do my own brows because of an unfortunate salon incident that resulted in my losing half an eyebrow. These are easy to use, quick, and affective. I also like that they include the oil to help sooth any irritation. — 6 years, 7 months agoCliniqueLover | 297 reviews

New favorite productI will use this wax kit until it stops being made. The strips are completely clear so you can see exactly where you're putting it. The wax is in a thin line making it easy to pull off some detailed work in the process. You can keep using a strip for several pulls before it stops sticking. The only wax that got left behind was a slight residue which came off instantly with the included azulene ...read moreoil. A little redness immediately following but when waxing at night it has completely subsided by morning. Most importantly, of course, it grabs the hairs easily and successfully, so only minimal tweezing has to follow. Love this stuff! — 6 years, 6 months agoazdrienne | 120 reviews

Automated Unit Testing of Embedded ARM Applications
The performance of today's ARM microcontrollers allows for more features and functionality to be implemented in software. Unlike a hardware implementation, software appears easier to change to accommodate changing software requirements and specifications. On the other hand, the debug capabilities available for the typical developer often only comprises run control, but lacks tracing or code coverage analysis of the application. This article discusses the debug capabilities of ARM microcontrollers and the benefits of testing applications at unit level.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This little add-on works exactly as it says. Very good replacement for new tab homepage. This is what i wanted. Thank you!
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Very nice, I give it 4/5 only because I'm used to start typing immediately when I open a new tab. With My Homepage I have to manually click in the Address Bar and then type. Perhaps add a checkbox option to choose if you want to switch to Address bar automatically or not?
I take this up as a very good suggestion
Thank you for the review.
I take this up as a very good suggestion. Infact when a user opens up a new tab and does not want a home page, the shortcut key ctrl+alt+m works. But the focus is not in the address bar. But i will fix this soon and will update you. Thanks, Manish

After a false start until I worked out that the AVG toolbar was resetting my new tab homepage, this is now working fine. It does exactly what it said it would!
Thanks, Manish, for writing this neat little add-on, and for helping me diagnose the AVG problem.
works as stated Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Works well as stated and the developer promptly replied to confusions i had for my one PC. Thanks. Appreciate its development.

Excellent!! simple work as it says. no extra click is required for my default google page which opens alwayz in the new tab and keeps the cusror in the search box. I was earlier facing this problem with the other addon i was using. This one is the best of best replacement. I will always support its development.

Great add-on Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I agree with all the comments posted in the other reviews. Add-on works perfectly, just as the title description says.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thanks. This comes in very handy, since I don't like looking at blank pages every time I open up a new tab. Please keep this updated. Very good add-on.
does exactly what it says on the tin Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I also used 'New tab homepage' until the focus problem came up, this seems to be the perfect replacement.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This a great add-on! I previously used 'New Tab Homepage' but its developer has been inactive for the past several months and seems to have abandoned further development. This made me start looking for a replacement.
'My Homepage' works as advertised and feels quite snappy. The author seems to be very receptive to user reviews and suggestions which is good to see. I would highly recommend this add-on over others that offer similar functionality.
If I had to suggest a feature, it would be an option to customize the keyboard shortcut for opening a new tab without loading the homepage. This isn't a biggie for me because I find 'Ctrl + Alt + M' just fine but others may prefer a one-handed combination.
Thanks for suggestion.
Thank you for the review Siddarth. Your suggestion is nice and but i got some mails stating that some other add-ons use that shortcut key for some purposes.Thats why upon requests i changed it to the combination of CTRL+ALT+M to keep it a bit different sort of.

Sorry for the trouble u faced. Here is the link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/my-homepage/versions/?page=1#version-1.2
Please open this link and click on Continue to download against Version 1.2.
I have also added the link to main page.
Cntrl+C?? Rated 4 out of 5 stars
It appears that this add on has automatically mapped a new tab popup with control+c. What the heck is this? Now I can't copy text anymore. Instead when I highlight text and do a control+c, I get a new blank tab instead. Lame!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.1-signed.1-signed).
Issue given by shakedog fixed
Thank you shakedog for pointing the issue. I had to change the key to CTRL+ALT+M to open the new tab without opening the homepage into it.
Now you can easily copy using ctrl+c. Please download the latest version 1.2

Feet Pain: Why Do My Feet Hurt? (cont.)
Another common foot problem is plantar warts. Plantar warts are a virus that specifically infects the superficial layer of skin. When the virus is given the opportunity through some type of mechanical breakdown of the skin, it will infect the skin and grow there. When one gets a wart on their hand, that virus will grow above the level of skin, but when it occurs on the bottom of the foot, because you walk on it, the virus will grow within the layer of skin. It won't grow deep into the deep layers. Because this is a virus, there's no medication that can be given orally to eradicate the virus. The virus would have to be treated locally at the site of infection. This is done with topical acid preparations, freezing, injectable medications, and removal. Removal of the wart can be done in several different ways, utilizing cautery agents, and/or laser techniques. Keep in mind whichever way your wart is removed, they can reoccur, they can spread, they can reinfect. Warts are usually found in the younger population, and not in the elderly. Important things to do to prevent this problem is generally good foot hygiene, and disinfecting areas of the home, such as the bathroom and shower. It is not possible to totally eradicate the virus, and usually most people who are susceptible to the virus will contract it.
Moderator: mgonzales asks: "The arch on my right foot has been hurting for the past week. It has become so bad, that I can't walk. It feels like the arch in my foot is falling. What should I do to get rid of the pain?"
Dr. Mauser: It is difficult to determine whether the problem is truly in the arch, or the heel. A lot of times, pain from arches are deferred from the heel, but there are things you need to be aware of in the arch that could be a problem. If you are active, one would have to consider the possibility of a stress fracture. There is also the possibility that a tendon can rupture in the arch, causing pain and problems. There are also accessory bones that can occur that may become symptomatic over time, specifically, the best option would be to be evaluated, take some X-rays, and other diagnostic testing to determine the exact cause of the arch pain.
Moderator: Let's talk about shoes. What should we be looking for besides style?
Dr. Mauser: I will give my view on shoes, and this is what I tell my patients. Shoes are a shell that go around your foot. The shoe is only as good as the foot that goes into it. Shoes can make your feet feel better, but won't correct problems. There are things you should look for. I don't recommend a particular brand of shoe, because no sooner than I recommend it, the patient can't wear it. People need to be consumers of shoes, meaning they need to try many types and brands on, and walk around the shoe store walking around, and should go at the end of the day when their feet are tired and swollen. They should look for shoes geared towards specific activities. If the shoe doesn't feel good in the store, it won't feel good at home. A good sensible walking shoe is usually best, and there are many different brands. Women's dress shoes are not necessarily the best thing for your feet, and I certainly do not recommend four-inch heels. Again, when purchasing dress shoes, you need to be a careful consumer. In terms of the specific attributes of the shoe, they should have a good sturdy soul, wide base, the toe box should be deep enough to accommodate any deformities, the heel counter should be fairly stiff, lace up or slip-ons are your preference. A lot of shoes come with a removal insole. That is what they consider the arch support, when in reality it is nothing more than a little pad in the shoe. Often times the insole can be removed and replaced with something more supportive that you can buy over the counter in a running store, or this is an excellent place for the custom orthotic devices. Again, shoes are activity specific. You should not run ten miles in your basketball shoes, nor should you play a day of basketball in your running shoes.
fcrockow_lycos: My toes and the balls of my feet have hurt, increasingly so, for years. My primary care doc seems to have ruled out all ideas he is aware of. When I stand or jump they are particularly painful, and when I lay down they are excruciating. Walking around actually seems to help. Please help.
Dr. Mauser: It is certainly difficult to get the complete idea of your situation over the Internet. I encourage you to obtain a copy of the book I mentioned earlier. Entrapment of nerves are possible in the front of the foot, and we call those neuromas. It sounds like you've been evaluated fairly extensively, and in some cases, as mentioned before, there is no known ideology as to why people have some conditions. It does sound like you have a generalized neuropathy in which there is no specific cause. Perhaps the book can give you some good information.
Moderator: Jeanhoney says: "Dr. Mauser, my daughter has been diagnosed with plantar fibromatosis. Her doctors told her there is nothing they can do for her. She has too many nodes to be operated on. Do you have any experience treating this condition? I am in a discouraging and bewildering situation. Thank You."
Dr. Mauser: In this situation, if plantar fibromatosis is a single isolated nodule, or several small nodules, they could be removed. If the problem is related to a more systemic problem, such as neurofibromatosis, there is probably not much that can be done in terms of removing the lesion. I would encourage you to seek out a podiatrist or an orthopedist as someone who can make an accommodative orthotic or an accommodative custom made shoe.
Moderator: Colleen asks: "My mother is 70-years old, and insulin dependent. No heart problems. She suffers from arthritis. Her feet have started swelling and her ankles hurt when she walks. The doctor has given her water pills and she takes Naprosyn (naproxen sodium). We are not sure what line of treatment she should pursue. Can you help?"

Presumably the gold disc on the wall is for Chilton's work with The Box Top's.
Great pic, wonder who took it? Eggleston was a friend of Chilton's family (Indeed Eggleston can be heard playing the piano on the version of Nature Boy included on the CD of Big Star's Third)

Glenbrook's Bryan Derman is live blogging from FinovateFall 2010. This is one of several posts; you can find an index to his coverage here.
First, a quick congratulations to the seven Best-in-Show winners (out of 56 presenters) from this year's event:
Having listened attentively to all the demos, I have to say that this list makes sense to me. These were clearly some of the best presentations from an overall strong field.
Now, just a couple of observations that occurred to me as I tried to look across the program for some themes:
Mobile or Bust. If you haven't ported your every online application in your product suite to a mobile app, don't show your face at Finovate. It's great to see so many tech providers are getting the message that mobile access will soon be more important than desk-bound access. On the other hand, I couldn't escape the feeling that it was a kind of brute force movement to bring all of the web to that very small screen. Do I really want to receive an SMS alert every time the cocoa market is in contango?
In our view, the beauty of mobile applications is the way the best ones utilize the available tools (location, time, typical behavior) to efficiently deliver the most critical information to the user. In a word, they demonstrate an intuition about the user. We need to guard against the bloat that can happen when we strive to deliver extensive functionality.
PFM or TMI? Aggregation and organization are admirable goals to be sure, but I am beginning to fear that the number of companies providing PFM software will exceed the number of consumers using the technology. Mint had a nice exit and remains an interesting asset within Intuit, but probably doesn't justify the feeding frenzy. I was very encouraged to see several providers focusing on PFM technology on the under-served small business market, which may be a more natural audience for this kind of disciplined approach to financial management. Easy to use, forward-looking cash flow projectors have real value to businesses and should also trickle down to consumer apps.
Show Us Your Home Run Swing. A lot of presenters showed clever approaches to, and mash-ups of, technologies that have been around for a while (think account aggregation and ACH transfers). But a few really stood out for their introduction of fundamentally new technology. A couple of companies (Dynamics, Emue) appear to have succeeded in putting the major elements of a computer (processor, keyboard, monitor) onto the form factor of a credit card and are deploying a range of interesting applications. It would be great to see more big picture attempts like these in our space.
* * *
I'll close by offering kudos again this year to Eric Mattson and Jim Bruene for a great job on a big, complicated show — two days, 56 presentations, 600 attendees, 6 meals, one tired reporter….

Release Notes for Cisco Aironet 350 Series Workgroup Bridges Running Firmware
Release 8.89
August, 2004
These release notes describe caveats in firmware maintenance release 8.89 for Cisco Aironet 350 Series Workgroup Bridges. These release notes also contain important information about the device.
These release notes describe the following topics:
•Upgrading to a New Firmware Release
•Obtaining Technical Assistance
•Obtaining Additional Publications and Information
Workgroup bridges are small, standalone units that provide wireless infrastructure connections for Ethernet-enabled devices. A device connected to a bridge communicates with a network infrastructure through Cisco Aironet access points.
The workgroup bridge connects to a hub through a standard Ethernet port using a 10BASE-T (twisted pair) RJ-45 connector, and up to eight wired Ethernet client devices can be connected to the hub. You can use an Internet browser or Telnet to configure the workgroup bridge.
System Requirements
You must have a Cisco Aironet 350 Series Workgroup Bridge to install firmware version 8.89.
Minimum Firmware Version Required on Access Points
Access points with which the workgroup bridge associates must contain firmware version 11.06 or later.
Upgrading to a New Firmware Release
Finding the Firmware Version
The firmware version number is in the upper-left corner of most management screens in the web-browser interface and at the top of the home (Summary Status) page in the command-line interface.
Obtaining the Workgroup Bridge Image
The workgroup bridge image file can be obtained from the Cisco.com software center using these steps:
Step 1 Follow this link to the Software Center on Cisco.com, and download firmware version 8.89:
Step 2 Click Option 2: Aironet Wireless Software Display Tables.
Step 3 Find the workgroup bridge firmware and utilities section, and click Cisco Aironet 350 Series.
Step 4 Click WGB350v889.exe, the workgroup bridge image file.
Step 5 On the Encryption Authorization Form, enter the requested information, read the encryption information, and check the boxes that apply.
Step 6 Click Submit.
Step 7 Read and accept the terms and conditions of the Software License Agreement.
Step 8 Select the image file again to download it.
Step 9 Download and save the image file to your hard drive, and then exit the Internet browser.
Step 10 Double-click WGB350v889.exe to expand the downloaded file, and record the location where you stored the expanded .img file.
Upgrading the Workgroup Bridge Firmware
Follow these steps to upgrade the workgroup bridge firmware image by using an Internet browser:
Step 1 Open an Internet browser on a computer that is on the same network as the bridge.
Step 2 Enter the bridge IP address in the browserlocation field. Click Enter.
Step 3 When the bridge management home page appears, click Allow Config Changes in the upper-left corner.
Step 4 In the Diagnostics menu, click Load.
Step 5 Enter the path and filename of the new image file in the entry field, such as c:\firmware\WGB350v889.img.
Step 6 Click Send. The workgroup bridge loads the new firmware and reboots.
Step 7 If an error message appears stating that the page cannot be refreshed without resending the information, click Cancel. The workgroup bridge loads the new firmware, and you can ignore the message.
Step 8 To verify that the upgrade is successful, repeat Step 1 and Step 2. When the bridge management home page appears, verify that the new firmware version number (8.89) appears beside the model name in the upper-left corner of the page.
New Features
There are no new features in this software maintenance release.
Installation Notes
Verify Mounting Hole Measurement
If you make a photocopy of the mounting template (included in Mounting Instructions for the Cisco Aironet Access Points, Base Stations, and Workgroup Bridges with Plastic Cases), make sure that the distance between the holes is 4 3/4 in. (12.06 cm) before you drill the holes. Some photocopy machines do not make exact duplicates of the original.
Important Notes
Cisco Aironet Software Requires Completion of Encryption Authorization Form
To access Cisco Aironet software from the Software Center on Cisco.com, you must complete a form to receive authorization to download encrypted software. Registered Cisco.com users are required to fill out the form only once, while public users must do so once each session, each time software is downloaded. A form is automatically created for public users. The form for registered Cisco.com users is at the following URL:
Bridge Loop Can Occur with Incorrect Network Topology
If the workgroup bridge is connected to the wired LAN and is communicating with an access point on the same LAN, a network problem known as a bridge loop can occur. Avoid a bridge loop by disconnecting the workgroup bridge from the wired LAN immediately after you configure it. Figure 1 shows the network configuration in which the loop occurs.
Figure 1 Bridge Loop Caused by a Workgroup Bridge Connected to the Wired LAN
A bridge loop can also occur if two or more workgroup bridges are connected to the same remote hub. To prevent this bridge loop, always connect only one workgroup bridge to a remote hub.
Figure 2 shows the network configuration in which the bridge loop occurs.
Figure 2 Bridge Loop Caused by Two Workgroup Bridges on the Same Remote Hub
This section describes the resolved caveats for firmware version 8.89.
Getting Bug Information on Cisco.com
If you are a Cisco.com registered user, you can use the Cisco TAC Software Bug Toolkit to identify existing bugs (or caveats) in Cisco software products. Access the TAC Software Bug Toolkit at:
Open Caveats
•CSCea59101—Signal strength test does not display level until a warm reload is performed.
When the workgroup bridge has been running for a day or more, performing the signal strength test does not display the signal level bar unless the unit is restarted (warm reloaded) using the Telnet or browser interface.
Resolved Caveats
The following caveats were resolved in firmware version 8.89:
•CSCee83100—Workgroup bridge does not automatically LEAP reauthenticate after a failure.
•CSCea64630—Workgroup bridge resets to factory defaults by itself.
•CSCed33613—Link tests parameter is reset to factory default by rebooting the workgroup bridge.
For the most up-to-date, detailed troubleshooting information, refer to the Cisco TAC website at this URL (select Product Support > Wireless > Wireless LAN):
Documentation Updates
This section describes errors, omissions, and changes in user documentation for workgroup bridges.
Staleout Time Setting
The workgroup bridge management system includes a wired LAN staleout time setting on the Configuration > Ethernet page. Use this setting to control the number of seconds that the workgroup bridge continues to track a device in its association table when the device is inactive. Enter a value between 5 and 1000 seconds. (Five minutes equals 300 seconds; ten minutes equals 600 seconds.)
If the same devices are always connected to the workgroup bridge, enter 5 for the staleout time setting. If the devices connected to the workgroup bridge change frequently, enter 300 (equal to five minutes) for the staleout time setting. If you disconnect the Ethernet cable from the workgroup bridge and reconnect it, the workgroup bridge removes all devices from its association table and relearns them, regardless of the staleout time setting.

One of the most important factors in improving indoor air quality is to
humidity control
! High humidity levels breed mold, mildew and dust mites.
Your air conditioning system not only cools, but it should also dehumidify the air correctly. For example, if your air conditioner is oversized, it will not run long enough to remove humidity from the air. Consequently, your home will feel like a cave…cool and clammy. This creates the perfect breeding ground for unwanted biological growth. If the air in your home is too moist, it will encourage the growth of bacteria and
, common allergies.
For optimum air quality, Indoor Relative Humidity should always be maintained between 40% and 60%!
How Does Relative Humidity Affect Us?
Humidity control isn't only important for health issues related to respiratory problems, humidity affects our ability to cool down. We cool down by releasing water through our pores in the form of sweat, which then evaporates carrying away excess body heat.
The evaporation rate depends on the humidity of the surrounding air…the more humid the air, the slower the evaporation process. When we are in humid air, the sweat evaporates more slowly then it does in dry air. Consequently, less water molecules are leaving our body and carrying away heat, which means that we are left with more heat. This makes us hotter, and we are also sweatier and uncomfortable.
A dehumidifier is used to remove excess moisture from the air and create a more dry, comfortable home environment!
Some of the most common indications that you might need a
dehumidifier are:
• Stuffy feeling in a room
• Allergies
• Wet stains on walls and ceilings
• Musty smells
• Rotting wood
• Condensation on windows

Waratahs members say they are disappointed after technical problems meant they were overcharged or left with only bad seats for the Super Rugby final on Saturday night.
When members tried to log onto Ticketek at 1pm on Monday for a pre-sale, around 2,000 discovered the unique passwords sent to them did not work to access the promised 20 per cent discount.
To avoid missing out, some people used a generic password to log in to Ticketek. However, Ticketek charged them the full, non-members' price for the tickets.
By about 2pm the problem had been fixed and the Waratahs were assuring members that the discount would still be honoured. But fans were already disappointed.
Amanda Kemp from Merriwa tossed up between paying the extra with the generic password, or continuing to wait. She chose to wait, and when the unique password started working an hour later she said there were only bad seats left.
"Why have I gone from getting front-row tickets to last week's game to about the worst seats I can get after finally getting in using my unique password, which I have paid to have the right to have. Not happy. Ticketek was working fine, it was the passwords that were not. Extremely disappointed and peed off," she wrote on the Waratahs Facebook page.
Her husband Chris has a lifetime membership which costs $550 each year.
Shane Clements said the best tickets that he was able to get were level four, the second highest level of seating.
"Unique password's not working so when I finally tried to get general admission best tickets are level 4. Great way to reward loyal members. I'm bitterly disappointed Tahs ... bitterly disappointed," he wrote on Facebook.
@lazyseagull @NSWWaratahs I feel your pain $100 worse off for 5 tickets and seats between the goal line and 10m line. #NotGreat — Chris Lawes (@c_lawes)
July 28, 2014
A Waratahs spokeswoman said that members who overpaid should contact them directly on firstname.lastname@example.com before 10am on Tuesday to claim back the discount.
The spokeswoman also said that members did not get worse category seats as a result of the glitch.
"We understand that access to the best seats is an important member benefit," she said.
"Whilst we understand the frustrations of the small number of members who feel that they have missed out on the best seats as the result of this issue, we can assure members that they did not get worse category seats as the result of this issue.
"Tickets in all categories are still available for members to purchase before public sale starts [Tuesday] at 1pm."
The Waratahs play the Crusaders at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night. The game is on track to break a record with a crowd of more than 55,000 expected to watch the Waratahs shoot for their first Super Rugby title.
It is also likely the game will set an Australian benchmark, surpassing the 52,113 who watched the Queensland Reds beat the Crusaders 18-13 in the 2011 final.
Fairfax Media has been unable to reach Ticketek for comment.

Hospital's volunteers
logged 68,000 hours last year
A computer printout tallying Carl Johnson's volunteer hours at Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville runs four pages.
Soon he'll need a fifth, and surely more to follow.
The 40-year-old Eagan resident has logged 532 hours over 202 visits since he started volunteering in October 2008.
Johnson puts together education packets for patients on the hospital's third floor, which houses a medical surgical unit and the intensive care unit.
Johnson, who has restrictive lung disease and scoliosis, has been an ICU patient himself and considers his regular Wednesday volunteer gig a way of giving back to the hospital.
"This is where I want to be," Johnson said. "I like it. I blend in with everyone. I know a lot of people here. They know me. It's a nice place to volunteer, and a nice place to get treatment."
He first came to Fairview Ridges in December 2006, with pneumonia followed by respiratory failure. A ventilator allowed him to breathe.
"That's why I'm on oxygen" today, Johnson explained. "I use a vent at night when I sleep. I hook it up to the trach. I had the trach put in in January 2008."
Johnson had two more hospital stays in the year after his first, which included insertion of the tracheotomy tube.
"That was the best-case scenario for me if I wanted to live," said Johnson, who lives with his mother and older sister and worked in accounting for many years.
The scoliosis inhibits his lung function and caused one leg to be shorter than the other, Johnson explained. But his life is full.
"I'm doing the volunteering and exercising," he said. "I drive a car. I live a pretty normal life. I go to the State Fair."
Johnson comes to Fairview Ridges on Mondays and Thursdays for a wellness and exercise program, which he said includes treadmill and weights.
"Between January last year and this year, I lost 15 pounds," he said. "It's helped me a lot with the breathing. I don't have to use as much oxygen as I used to. There's not as much weight on my lungs."
Johnson is one of about 550 adult volunteers at Fairview Ridges and a "very dedicated" one, said Debbie Hummel, the hospital's volunteer services leader.
The adult volunteers and 152 junior volunteers 14 and older devoted more than 68,000 hours of service in 2012, Hummel said.
Johnson's work assembling information packets for incoming patients is indispensable, she said.
"I don't know how it would get done, I honestly don't," she said. "The nursing staff is here for patients. These are clerical items that people just don't seem to have the time to do, but they're important. It would be much more costly if we had to send this kind of stuff out to be put together by a third party."

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
25.10.2011 - 26.10.2011
View Long Way Home on Long way home's travel map.
25.10.11 – After several hours on the train, and several more hours at the border crossing, we eventually arrived in Ulaanbaatar. Our hostel had sent a driver to pick us up, which at 6:30am was thoroughly appreciated! We made our way to the hostel (Zaya Hostel), and were given our room straight away, another plus!
After a few hours sleep to try and catch up on the sleep debt, we head out and explored the town, taking in the main square, Genghis Khan monument and Peace Avenue. The Asian influence on Mongolia is very evident, and things are already very different from Russia. The people are friendlier, the shops and restaurants have a lot more English, and customer service has re-appeared. After a dinner of steak and we were done for the day, ready to enjoy our bed and start again tomorrow.
26.10.11 – This morning we visited the Gandantegcheniling Monastery, a set of Buddhist temples canvassing gold, tapestries, spinning cylinders for good luck, and chanting monks. It was our first real taste of Asia since we started the trip and we can only begin to imagine that this is what China is going to be like.
Afterwards, we caught up with our Belgian friends from Irkutsk. We had swapped details and were keen to book a tour together to bring the costs down. When we caught up, they had also met 2 girls from England and Ireland, so with the buying power of 6 we approached the tour companies and settled on Golden Gobi offering a trip to the South Gobi, to see the Flaming Cliffs and sand dunes. All happy, we did some last minute grocery shopping for the trip before parting ways for the evening, but not before running into the 3 Swiss girls again, and the Swiss couple from Olkhon Island. Sometimes this trip feels like a small world!
Lyn and Lisa, the British mother and daughter we met on the train had told us about a Mongolian Singing and Dancing ensemble that performs nightly at 6pm. They gave it rave reviews, so we decided to head down and find it. We had also told some of the others, so a small group of us went and watched the amazing show, consisting of Mongolian throat singing, contortionists, and a singing/instrumental/dance ensemble. Afterwards we headed to Luna Blanca, a well rated vegetarian restaurant which the girls were keen to try for some good food and great service. A quick drink after dinner and we said farewell to the girls, hopefully our paths will cross again in Australia or Switzerland!

It's not often that I get to escape out of the beach side garden gate alone… so when the chance came recently, I grabbed it with both… well, with both feet really.
I fancied a walk… and I had a good few hours' ticket of leave… so I thought I'd walk over to Hyams Beach; why not?
I wandered along the walking/biking track along Elizabeth Drive and then down onto the beach and then the rock platforms towards Plantation Point.
Here's the entire route that I took.
This is the beach as you look back towards Vincentia and Collingwood Beach with Plantation Point behind.
It was low tide so I walked around the rocks at the Point and then on to the pretty beaches that dot the coastline here, all sparkling and blue and freshly wave-washed.
There's Blenheim and Greenfields beaches, there's Chinamans and Seamans…
Mot of the walking is done along with beach.
And this day I did see dolphins playing in the Bay, but too far away to be made out in this photo!
There are some information boards along the tracks.
A bit of shade as you dodge along through the trees.
Information about the Marine Park, how it's zoned and why it works well.
The White Sands Walk itself is pretty short – more details on that at the bottom of this post. It's a handy one to do with children, not too challenging but with cake and coffee and gorgeous white sands at the end.
My life is mostly busy and noisy, so to be out in the bush and beach, with just my shadow for company, was such a rare treat.
And look, there's the little township of Hyams Beach right there.
I try for a bit of a moody shot here…
The great thing about getting to Hyams after a 7km walk from home is that the sublime Hyams Beach Cafe awaits with open arms… and coffee and muffins.
No need to think great thoughts, or even to write them.
Sometimes a simple walk with just the sound of the birds and the waves is just enough.
The White Sands Walk
The White Sands Walk starts officially at the Greenfield Beach picnic area, which is at the cul de sac at the very end of Elizabeth Drive, Vincentia. See the info on the Jervis Bay National Park website here.
Check out a map of the walk here, there is also info there on the Scribbly Gum Track which is a return loop inland.
For more info on Jervis Bay National Park click here.

Which players this season have been hits, without recording any?
What's a baseball fan to do when The Day After Ubaldo coincides with Strasburg Eve? If you answered, "Watch and chat about the draft," well, you can take that kind of attitude elsewhere, mister (or ma'am). As the baseball world passes the time until 7 PM Eastern, let's explore a statistical oddity, and see what (if anything) we can uncover.
My buddy Craig Glaser tweeted an interesting factoid on Saturday: Brewers catcher George Kottaras is one of only three players with at least 75 PA this season to have more walks to his name than hits. The other two are somewhat more accomplished: Nick Johnson, and presumptive Hall of Famer Chipper Jones. Rather than devote my energies to a pursuit that might leave the world a better place than I found it, I decided to take a quick look into what makes these players tick. From 2000 to 2009, 28 players (in 35 player seasons, since some players were repeat offenders) managed to accumulate at least 75 PA in a single season while maintaining a higher walk total than hit total. Of those 28, 6 were pitchers, whom I'm removing from the sample on the grounds that they shouldn't have been batting in the first place (yeah, I went there). That leaves us with the following 22 players (and 29 player seasons), whom I'm dubbing the Perambulator Posse:

A rundown on all the Opening Day decisions in the junior circuit.
Purchased the contract of 4C-R Robb Quinlan from Salt Lake (Triple-A); placed LHP Scott Kazmir on the 15-day DL (hamstring), retroactive to 3/31; placed RHP Anthony Ortega (triceps) and OF-S Reggie Willits (hamstring) on the 15-day DL, retroactive to 3/30; placed OF-R Chris Pettit on the 15-day DL (labrum), retroactive to 3/26; optioned C-R Ryan Budde and CF-R Peter Bourjos to Salt Lake. [4/3]
Designated C-R Ryan Budde for assignment. [4/5]

The Red Sox continue to invest in defense, a non-tender returns, and a questionable trade by the Mariners.
At long last the Beltre/Kotchman wheel spins. I know I've been Tweeting (@ChristinaKahrl) about the eventual publication of this article for days, but as the non-trade of Mike Lowell reflected, there's a benefit to waiting to evaluate a deal involving players with injury histories until after they have their physicals. Beltre passed his, so voila, there's finally something to talk about.
Signed 3B-R Adrian Beltre to a one-year, $9 million contract, with a $5 million base player option for 2011; traded 1B-L Casey Kotchman to the Mariners for UT-R Bill Hall, a PTBNL, and cash. [1/7]

The Mariners' skipper on his relationship with GM Jack Zduriencik, the expectations on his club for 2010, and the acquisitions of Cliff Lee and Chone Figgins.
There are some loud tremors emanating from the Pacific Northwest this offseason, and nobody feels and hears them more than Don Wakamatsu. The Mariners skipper isn't quite quaking with excitement, but with the recent acquisitions of Chone Figgins and Cliff Lee, there is clearly an extra bounce to his step. There may also be an elevated heart rate, as Mount Rainier-sized expectations are already beginning to cascade down upon a team that won 85 games in Wakamatsu's first year at the helm. The 46-year-old skipper talked to Baseball Prospectus via phone-a conversation briefly interrupted by a call from GM Jack Zduriencik-to discuss the season that was, and the future of what clearly seems to be an organization moving in the right direction.

Bass-ackwardness in pinstripes, Phillies penmanship, and multiple reasons to mention Rob Deer.

As in the AL, the Central division is as tight as can be, while in the East two Mets are predicted to take home some hardware along with their division flag.
Today we reveal the Baseball Prospectus staff predictions for the division standings and the major player awards (MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year) in the National League, along with the staff picks in some fun miscellaneous categories.
Each staff member's division standings predictions may be found later in the article. Here, we present a wisdom-of-the-crowds summary of the results. In each table you'll find the average rank of each team in their division, plus the results of our pre-season MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year voting.

Putting the finishing touches on the better (fielding) mousetrap.
"Baseball is Darwinian in its results but Newtonian in its processes. With rigorous empiricism fielders built up a solid foundation of knowledge through generations of trials and thousands of errors. Their peer-reviewed results quickly became standard operating procedures."

The good doctor returns with some interesting notes on Khalil Greene, Troy Percival and Mike Maroth.
Between now and Opening Day, I hope to mine the data of baseball statistics from last year to bring you at least one interesting nugget from each team. Some of this information will be genuinely useful to know, and some of it will be pure meaningless fun, so don't take it too seriously. I'm not trying to recreate the Elias Baseball Analyst here; I don't worship at the altar of the small sample size. But I hope these findings whet your appetite for the statistical sm�rg�sbord that starts once again on March 25th. (Yes, March 25th. We must have been very good this year.)

Replacement Value isn't something quite so fixed and abstract as some might posit.
There's a process to writing these pieces. I can't generally do things as quickly as most of the other writers here at BP; I used to be able to, but that's not a skill I managed to retain over time. However, one of the benefits of having a longer process in place is that I get a lot more feedback before the piece is published than I did previously; it's nice to have a few people who serve as crap detectors in the loop. If I'm overinflating something--as I'm wont to do to make a point--I find that out before it gets wide exposure. Similarly, if I'm making my most common error, which is failing to explain how I got from Point A to Point B, I hear that as well. But it's kind of like asking engineering to vet marketing copy. You might ask them just to review the technical specs to make sure everything's kosher, but they inevitably comment on other stuff, like the ad creative, or the overall communication strategy. In my experience, the worlds of these two groups don't mesh well together. Most technical people aren't really certain about what marketing people actually do, and most marketing people would prefer the technical folks stick to the technical stuff, and leave the marketing to those who know how to do it.

How different ballparks affect velocity, whether pitchers use the fastball more early in games, and the challenge of quantifying plate discipline.
"Plate discipline though is difficult to measure. Good plate discipline can mean swinging at the first pitch, fouling off the fifth, taking the tenth; it's about hitting when it's possible to do so and walking when not. If it's possible to hit, a walk is a relative failure. Ultimately though, because information as to just how many juicy pitches players swing at and how many unhittable ones they take is non-existent, though walks are an imperfect measure, they will have to do."

FORTUNE -- The scientific test to gauge if a computer can "think" is surprisingly simple: Can it engage in small talk? The so-called Turing test says a computer capable of carrying on a natural conversation without giving itself away can be considered intelligent. So far, no machine has made the cut.
Eric Brown, a research scientist with IBM (ibm), is charged with changing that. The 45-year-old is the brains behind Watson, the supercomputer that pummeled human opponents on Jeopardy! in 2011. The biggest difficulty for Brown, as tutor to a machine, hasn't been making Watson know more but making it understand subtlety, especially slang. "As humans, we don't realize just how ambiguous our communication is," he says.
Will.i.am: Corporate America's hit machine
Case in point: Two years ago, Brown attempted to teach Watson the Urban Dictionary. The popular website contains definitions for terms ranging from Internet abbreviations like OMG, short for "Oh, my God," to slang such as "hot mess."
But Watson couldn't distinguish between polite language and profanity -- which the Urban Dictionary is full of. Watson picked up some bad habits from reading Wikipedia as well. In tests it even used the word "bullshit" in an answer to a researcher's query.
Ultimately, Brown's 35-person team developed a filter to keep Watson from swearing and scraped the Urban Dictionary from its memory. But the trial proves just how thorny it will be to get artificial intelligence to communicate naturally. Brown is now training Watson as a diagnostic tool for hospitals. No knowledge of OMG required.

Summer is the perfect time to get your grill on and invite your family and friends over for a fun and flavorful cookout.
If you've seen my meal plans, then you know that grilling is one of my top time-saving methods for quick weeknight dinners. But it's also one of my favorite ways to entertain too! That's because it's so easy to get everything ready in advance. Then when guests arrive, you can continue to converse in the beautiful outdoors, while flipping real food on the grill.
Of course, there are a few tricks of the trade that I've learned through the years that really do make a significant difference in turning grilled foods from mediocre to magnificent! I'm sharing these with you, so you can avoid some common pitfalls, and instead experience all the benefits of successful grilling!
Top 10 Best Grilling Tips:
By following these 10 simple steps, you'll find grilling to be one of the easiest ways to get delicious, healthy meals on the table in a snap!
1. Before You Light Up … The key to great grilling is preparation – mise en place is essential. So get your grilling tools, meat, vegetables, brushes, platter, glazes, sides and hungry mouths ready before you light up the grill. Once you've got food on the grill, you want to be sure you have everything ready in advance, so you can focus your attention on grilling for best success. In other words, don't try to grill and cook the rest of the meal at the same time. Your kitchen is inside; your grill should be outside. Trying to run between the two usually ends with less than satisfying results.
2. Turn Up the Heat! Another secret of success is to be sure to preheat your grill at least 10-15 minutes before cooking. A properly preheated grill sears foods on contact, which helps to prevent sticking, and even more important, results in a more flavorful and moist outcome.
3. Keep It Clean. The easiest way to remove debris is when the grill is hot. So after preheating, give the grill racks a good scrub down with a wire brush to remove any remains from the previous cooking session. Then, wipe the racks down with oil, and that's basically all the maintenance necessary.
4. Taste is Always in Season. When it comes to grilling, there are several methods for infusing grilled foods with extra flavor. A quick way is to use glazes (like BBQ Sauce) – sweet coatings often made with honey, maple syrup, or molasses that are brushed on during the last few minutes of grilling. Similarly, flavorful dry rubs applied a few hours before cooking also add a delicious burst of flavor. Dry rubs consist of herbs and spices, while wet rubs include the addition of oils, dijon mustard and such. For an even deeper infusion of flavor, use sweet-n-tangy marinades made with acidic liquids, such as citrus juices and vinegars. Marinades not only enhance your grilled foods' flavor, when it comes to meat, they also help to tenderize as well.
5. Take the Chill Off. Cold meat and poultry doesn't cook evenly. So be sure to take meats and poultry out of the fridge about 15-20 minutes before grilling to bring them to room temperature. You'll be amazed at what a difference this simple step makes in locking in both flavor and moistness.
6. Let it be. When grilling, resist the urge to repeatedly flip your food. Instead, give it time to sear; turning only when grill marks form. Waiting for meat to sear not only creates a more flavorful result, but also helps to reduce sticking.
7. Not to be Overdone. To avoid overcooking, it's best to remove meats, poultry and seafood just before they reach the desired doneness since they continue to cook a bit after coming off the grill. An instant-read thermometer provides the most accurate results, but you can also gently poke steak and chops with your index finger; the firmer the meat feels, the more well-done it is. With seafood, look for opacity; well-done fish fillets will be opaque all the way through. For chicken, make a slit in the thickest part of the cut. Any juices that escape should run clear.
8. Another trick of the trade … If your food starts to get too dark before it's cooked through, turn down the heat and move it to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking. Or turn off the grill and cover, until food reaches desired doneness (keeping in mind point #7 above).
9. Lock in Moisture. Once your food has been grilled to perfection, give it some time to rest. Allowing grilled meats and poultry to rest on a clean platter, tented with foil, enables the juices to redistribute evenly. This leads to a moist, flavorful result. (The general rule of thumb is to allow small-to-medium cuts to rest about 5-10 minutes, and larger cuts or roasts to rest about 15 minutes.)
10. Just do it! Now that you've got the low-down, it's time to throw-down some meat and veggies and get your grill on! There are so many great grilling recipes out there, so if you're new to grilling, start out with something simple (like my Grilled Herb Chicken with Pineapple Salsa shown above).
Then, build on your skills from there by giving some of my Top Reader Favorite Recipes a sizzle, such as:
• Grilled Fajita & Veggies Steak Salad
• Grilled Ribeye Steak with Cilantro Lime "Butter"
• Grilled Southwestern Chicken Burgers
• Grilled Shrimp Kebobs
Wishing you and your family a very blessed summer! Happy Grilling!
