NORWOOD – Runners, walkers, cyclists and revelers are invited to partake in the fourth annual Wright Stuff Challenge, Saturday, June 30, a major fundraiser for Prime Time Early Learning Center. Along with the usual 5k/10k for walkers and runners on the county roads south of Norwood, this year the Wright Stuff Community Foundation has added another challenge: The Oak Hill Climb – an 8.5-mile bicycle race up Oak Hill on Norwood's Lone Cone Road. After the races, participants can join in on Norwood's Star Spangled Saturday, beginning with a parade on main street at 11 a.m. and ending with live music by Durango's Lawn Chair Kings and fireworks (fire-conditions permitting) at the San Miguel County Fairgrounds that night.
The Wright Stuff Challenge 5k/10k is an out-and-back race, 3.2 or 6.4 miles over gently rolling pavement, starting and ending at the "Pig Palace" at the San Miguel County Fairgrounds. Participants can run or walk, and parents with young kids and strollers are welcome to partake (no dogs, however). Organized groups are encouraged to dress up in costume and compete for the best team spirit award.
"It's not a competitive event. I don't want people to think they have to be a runner to participate. Kids with trikes, parents with strollers, friends in capes and tiaras – they're all welcome," says Wright Stuff Executive Director Andrya Brantingham.
Adding the Oak Hill Climb bike race was Norwood resident and cycling enthusiast Tony Daranyi's suggestion. "He thought it would be a great way to strengthen our fundraiser and it would be a great training ride for cyclists from around the region," said Brantingham. The Oak Hill Challenge will have an untimed, or neutral start, from the Pig Palace, traveling east to Jack's Hitchin' Post, where the clock begins. Cyclists will ride their mountain or road bikes east down Hwy. 145 to the Lone Cone Road, where they will turn south and make their way 8.2 miles and 1,525 feet up Oak Hill, where the race ends. (The race elevation climbs from 6,986 feet and 8,511 feet. For a profile of the race and a road map, go to wrightstufffoundation.org)
Wright Stuff Challenge race-day registration takes place at 7:30 a.m. sharp or advanced reservations (recommended) are available online at active.com or wrightstufffoundation.com. The bike race starts at 8:15 a.m. and the walk/run starts at 8:30 a.m. Entry fees are $35 per person for either race; teams of four or more people may register for the 5k/10k as a group for $25 per person. Prizes will be awarded for both events and all race participants will receive two tickets for door prizes, which will be drawn during the Lawn Chair Kings performance at the fairgrounds, between 6 and 8 p.m. Extra tickets may be purchased for $2 apiece or $5 for three. Prizes include overnight stays at condos in Telluride, a Peak Fitness membership, Ouray Hot Springs Pool punch passes, Happy Belly Deli gift certificates, Looney Bean gift cards, Ruth's Toffee, fitness training with Melissa Curry, Norwood Farm & Craft Market gift certificates, and a bike tune from Lone Cone Sports.
The annual Wright Stuff Challenge is the foundation's major annual fundraiser, with proceeds going directly toward programs that serve youth living in Norwood, Nucla, Naturita, Redvale and surrounding communities. A demonstration site for Pyramid Plus, The Colorado Center for Social Emotional Competence and Inclusion, Prime Time offers a high quality learning experience from qualified instructors who receive coaching from certified coaches. Before- and after-school care is also available for school-age kids, kindergarten through age 12, as well as the Explore! summer program, providing day camps that focus on outdoor activities, art, theatre, and more.
"The majority of the fundraising that we get out of this event goes to the food program for Prime Time kids, which we provide throughout the year," says Brantingham. "We're able to provide wholesome, nutritious, fresh foods as long as funding is available."
This year's Wright Stuff Challenge sponsors are Alpine Bank, Telluride Alpine Lodging, Grand Avenue Auto Parts, The Coach's Mother, Uncompahgre Medical Center, Tomboy Soap Company, Clark's Market, Road ID, City of Ouray Hot Springs Pool, Peak Fitness & Physical Therapy, Energy Fuels, Gurley Land & Cattle Company, Davis Watson Appraisal Services, Ruth's Toffee, and Lone Cone Sports.

Prices vary depending on what you want to run in a power outage situation. Do a google search for Guardian generators, check out the guardian web site. I checked locally here in Northern Ohio, and I can have the 10k nat gas with transfer switch installed for around $3800.00. If you can get by with the 7k, it would be less and if you have the ability to install it yourself, much much less.

I had called ahead to tell them it was my husband's birthday & they assured me that he would be greeted with a "Happy Birthday" and when it came time for the dessert menu he would receive a dessert. Well needless to say, we received nothing! My daughter ended up going to the hostess and she just handed her a tiny box with "Happy Birthday" scribbled on it w/marker. Very disappointing!! The food was good but pricey. Didn't appreciate that the tip was included in bill. Didn't appreciate being told what tip to give. Overall not extremely impressed
Just OK – Food was pretty good. Not sure the my 8 oz filet was worth $34. My boyfriend had to send his steak back b/c it was not cooked right. That was kinda of annoying since Outback can always get his rare steak right.
I also did not appreciate the 20% added to my bill without any notification! My receipt from the meal did not include this! However, when I checked my bank account I noticed 20% added!! I called the restaurant who said they always do this and I would be refunded the amount in a few days?! They said it was just something they do!
I will not be eating here ever again! I would have expected better!
Food OK, service not!
The Best. – Very popular for a reason. This restaurant was suggested to us by a business client for the excellent service as well as a la carte steak menu....great city view from second story of the Westin downtown. Best service I have ever had at a restaurant anywhere--and my dad is a prof in hotel tourism management, so I've been around the block when it comes to restaurant service!
Fliet Mingon was amazing--melt-in-your-mouth dreamy. While we are talking about mouth melting experiences..the chocolate lava cake creation was the perfect ending to a meal and a dining experience we tell everyone about!
Can a buddy get a table for 5?? – We had out of town visitors in for an event in Indy last weekend and we thought we were taking them to a nice restaurant. We had a part of 5 and they could not come up with a table large enough so we crammed onto a four-top with a seat on the end.
This was followed by the drink order which consisted of two glasses of watered-down lemonade, which the waiter eventually got around to replacing with the real good overpriced stuff.
The food was actually good, to our surprise (It had better been, considering the cost)., but when we were checking out, the waiter left us waiting, and waiting and waiting. Half of our party left before I could pay the check. The waiter said he didn't know we were ready to check out....right!
So, in summary: Food 4-5 stars; Service 1-2 stars.
Take your chances!
In a word....Terrible – i would like to start off by saying I really wanted to love this place. But the poor service. The complaining waiter (he was tired), and the dirty dishes we were served on, it was horrible. The burger was tasteless, the fries over fried...if that is possible! Then when we asked for a simple item such as salt, it was stuck in the shaker....all of it, it was that unclean! I would put Shula' below golden corral, at least they can wash their dishes!
Steaks Tender Juicy And Delicious Served By Professional Staff – I am amazed and puzzled by the negative reviews of this restaurant. I can't believe that these other reviewers are even eating at the same restaurant as me. I dine with friends and family regularly here (at least once a month, if not more often). The food has always been hot and delicious. The steaks are the best in town in my opinion and I've eaten at all the other steakhouses in town. The steaks are tender, juicy, and flavorful. I can cut my filet mignon with a butter knife. The service has always been friendly and topnotch. Our favorite servers are Rolf, Kevin, and Marie but all the servers are older pros and not kids and take professional care of their guests. The great service we get, I've seen provided at the tables around us as well.
Shula's winning tradition on the field continues at this classy steakhouse chain. – In Short
The chop house's elegance is indisputable, yet there is an oddly casual spirit to a place in which the menu is written on a football and set at your table on a kicking tee. Certified Angus Beef doesn't come cheap, and the sides are priced a la carte, but the nationally renowned steakhouse always finds a way to make the cut for those willing to pay for quality.
Poor Service, Worse Food – Shula's is by far the worse resturant that I have visited. The food lacked flavor. The service was slow and poor. The food was overpriced. There is no reason to return to this place. Stay away, save your money, buy some gas.
money wasted – My family and I (we have two young children) was going to go to Ruth Chris for lunch but they was not open so my husband suggested shula's When we first walked in the men at the desk looked at us like why would you bring kids in here? They said "do you want a highchair or somrthing" Then they werent that busy but they sat us right in the middle of the room surrounded by what looked like lunch meetings. Usually if you have kids most places will sit you over to the side somewhere out of the way lets face it kids are loud. The waiter didnt ask us if we have been their before or didnt offer to explain things about what came with the meals etc. so I started asking questions and he didnt act like he wanted to answer them I then asked if one of the childs meals could be split (I have a 3 year old and 1 year old) He said "ive never seen it done) We asked for a shrimp cocktail he suggested something else and wouldnt let it go we told him 3 times no we want the shrimp cocktai The waiter didnt take our dirty dishes we had to ask the water boy to get them finally because the baby wouldnt leave them alone. It was an awful experience, the atmosphere was bad the staff was bad the meal was bad and it was way over priced. It was more than Ruth Chris and they have friendly servers the best steaks nice atmosphere and you dont mind paying for a good meal their because its a great experience has been every time. But when you throw your money away on an awful experience it kinda makes you sick when you think i could of filled up the gas tank.
Poor Steak and worst service. – I have eaten at 3 diffrent Shula's and found not one worth my time. They all produced poor service and cold food. Save your money unless you feel a need to get upset.

Restaurant is insulting to an entire culture! – If you ate nothing but processed food your whole life then maybe you think few vegetables put together can be called delicious. Here's my challenge to all of you who had anything remotely nice thing to say about this place. Instead of wasting your money at this restaurant, save some cash and travel outside mecklenburg county and even perhaps out of the country. Then, maybe you'll understand what words like delicious, tasty, savoring actually mean. Thai are gracious hosts and have an indulging cuisine. Both things are absent from here. The owner of this place is laughing to the bank making fools of everyday patrons who have no idea what delicious means. If you frequent this place, take a long hard look in the mirror because it's people like you who settle for anything that as a nation we are in money mess. If you pay for something then atleast expect some quality in return!
Not Thai-riffic, But Terrific Enough – Decent food. Pad Thai a trifle dry. Best Thom Kai Gai I have ever tasted. Great and friendly service.
The Best Thai Food – I ate at the Thai Orchid last night, it was as good as it was years ago when they opened, I actually followed them from Central Avenue.
I've eaten Thai from New York to Miami to LA to San Francisco and it is by far my favorite restaurant.
When I read the negative review on this site my first thought was "they must own a Thai restaurant and are competing for business, or they know nothing about Thai food, because this is not true"
The food was perfect and the servers are always so gracious. I love this place and the people.
Totally worth it! – I find it interesting that a previous reviewer fusses that Thai Orchid is not authentic but then goes on to fuss because they aren't adventurous. Ummm, which is it??? I've tried many Thai restaurants in town and Thai Orchid is consistently the best, specifically concerning the taste and quality of the dishes. The setting is also very pleasant, and I love the staff. I think some people may be confused about what constitutes rudeness vs. a lack of traditional Southern perkiness that they come to expect in many of the wait staffs in Charlotte. The staff here is great, and they are very funny and conversational if you engage them like normal human beings instead of treating them like servants.
BTW, the Red Coconut curry is excellent.
Good Thai Food – We went here on a Saturday night, and it was not crowded at all. Got seated right away, and had ample time to order. The selection was good and a lot of items can be made vegetarian as well. The chicken was tender and coconut curry was amazing. Service was prompt, and food was fast and hot. I do reccomend this little gem in south Charlotte.
pretty sad... – Not even close to authentic.To know the pride the people in Thailand take in their food and how directly related to quality of life it is, I can honestly say they should be ashamed. Very unadventurous, but I suppose the people who continue to eat there are to blame for that as well, for god sakes order something other than Pad Thai. Oh, and just because it comes out in a flamming dish doesnt mean its authentic.
Avoid this restaurant altogether – The most rude staff I have ever encountered!! My main entree was the Curry Duck and the hair was still attached to the skin. I was appauled and went to ask if I could speak to the manager....when I told her the problem she looked confused! I asked if she could take the Curry Duck off the bill. After I went to my table she arrived and told me that I ordered it so, I need to pay for it and slammed the bill down and walked away abruptly. After this incident I paid the bill and left everything as is and vowed never to go back.
Best Thai Food in Charlotte – Well, if you have any taste buds or know anything about authentic Thai food you would certainly go here. I have been to every Thai restaurant in Charlotte and Matthews; this is by far the best. Thai Orchid is rated in the Top 10 in restaurants in Charlotte and the food is excellent. The other person that made a recommendation concerning this restaurant is way off base. I live near this place and dine there often and each time it has been wonderful. The staff is cheerful providing quick service; and each time I recieve a hello and goodbye. It is not great for large parties unless you call ahead because the dining area is small and they are always full of customers especially on a friday or saturday nights. The pad thai is wonderful for newcomers to Thai food and for those who like spice can certainly find something on the curry menu. They do infact have YELLOW CURRY which is fried rice with meat containing pineapple served in a pineapple half I highly recommend this dish.
Will Not Go Back – This is the first Thai restaurant my fiance and I have tried in Charlotte. We were very disappointed with the food. The pad thai sauce tasted like ketchup and was lumpy. It had been sitting for hours because a big chunk of it formed into a rounded corner of a pan--this chunk was hidden under some loose noodles in the presentation of the dish.
We also got massaman curry with chicken, which contained a bit of chicken with two pounds of potatoes and carrots. The flavor was okay, but it was too thin. Not enough rice was provided with the curry. We were also disappointed that neither yellow nor green curry were on the menu.
No one acknowledged us on our way out. I will not go back to Thai Orchid, nor will I recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially if it is your first time trying Thai food.
Fresh, exotic foods and excellent presentation have helped Thai Orchid blossom on the local scene. – The Scene
With a plain pattern of orchids on the wallpaper, this place doesn't feel much like a traditional Thai restaurant. The Thai servers even slip in a "y'all" from time to time. It's a bright, airy place: ethnic for those who might be timid about ethnic. South Charlotte couples and familiesAmerican and Asiancrowd the restaurant on weekend nights.
The Food
All your Thai favorites are here: pad thai, fried noodles, soups, salads curry dishes and stir-fry, available with a choice of seafood and meat. The meals are uniformly excellent ... the shrimp tender, the vegetables bright. Treat yourself to one of the house specialtiesfried whole fish in curry sauce, jumbo shrimp in a clay pot, fried rice served in a pineapple, or seafood in oyster sauce served in an egg noodle basket. You'll have enough for leftovers, and that's a good thing.

MSUM students learning how to take step after college with Job Search GuruMoorhead, MN (WDAY TV) - A man known as "America's Job Search Guru" says you can get any job with any major.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Moorhead, MN (WDAY TV) - A man known as "America's Job Search Guru" says you can get any job with any major.
Donald Asher spoke at MSUM tonight with some job-searching tips for college students and graduates.
Fifty-percent of recent college graduates are taking jobs that do not require a college degree.
Asher says part of the problem is that young people tend to hide behind their computers.
Donald Asher, Job Search Guru: "I'm trying to teach them to use social media not to interact with computers, but to interact with people. Find them and actually get out of their apartment, get out of their closeted life, and go meet people for coffee, and go meet people for lunch. You get jobs by talking to people, not by applying for them."
Asher is the author of 12 books.

An idea I saw on another base, threads like this are fun.
I have a Grand Moff Tarkin Episode 4 currently submitted for approval in the 501st. If approved it will be the 1st Tarkin in the legion. It will also be the 1st face character officer from one of the movies. I am really excited.
I am currently researching a clone commander to build, not sure who just yet. As well as a Galactic Marine.
What does everyone else have?
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

all finished and just have to touch up on the compad and rank badge.
Plus to work on my own helmet
Once we get the kids Tron outfits for Halloween done and out of the way I'll
get back to finishing everything...I hope
Started out with nothing and still have half of it.

Working on my X-Wing Pilot costume. My goal is to have it ready by Halloween.
In the "somewhat close but still far away" future I plan to upgrade my ROTS Obi-Wan and my ROTJ Luke. I also may consider Clone Wars or AOTC Obi Wans as well.

I have no costumes.
I am/will be working on:
Mara Jade (for both light and dark sides)
Aayla Secura
a certain metal bikini... I just need to deplete my fat stores and find my abs. Jill and I vowed a year ago to finish 'em or at least be in shape for them by CVI. (We thought we'd have a bit more time though... ;-))
Later I want to make a Mirax Terrik, maybe a Wookiee...
After that, I have no idea.

Lichtenstein Whaam! plane cushion cover
Bold cushion cover focusing on the plane side of Roy Lichtenstein's 'Whaam!'
'Whaam!' is based on an image from 'All American Men of War' published by DC comics in 1962. Throughout the 1960s, Lichtenstein frequently drew on commercial art sources such as comic images or advertisements, attracted by the way highly emotional subject matter could be depicted using detached techniques. Transferring this to a painting context, Lichtenstein could present powerfully charged scenes in an impersonal manner, leaving the viewer to decipher meanings for themselves. Although he was careful to retain the character of his source, Lichtenstein also explored the formal qualities of commercial imagery and techniques. In these works as in 'Whaam!', he adapted and developed the original composition to produce an intensely stylised painting.
Made in the UK. Cushion pad sold separately. Dry clean only.
- Exhibition Lichtenstein: A Retrospective
- Artist Roy Lichtenstein
- Artwork Whaam!
- Material 100% half panama cotton
- Dimensions 45 x 45 cm

The t-JAYS One uses JAYS silicone sleeves which work to lower any intrusive surrounding noise by up to 40dB, ensuring a better listening experience in ambient environments. And in turn this means the 10mm earphone speaker does not distort as the media player's amplifier does not get overloaded.

Dave Brubeck was jazz pioneer, helped define the rhythms of the 20th century (+video)
Dave Brubeck was best known for pieces such as 'Take Five,' which featured challenging rhythms.
HARTFORD, Conn.
Jazz composer and pianist Dave Brubeck, whose pioneering style in pieces such as "Take Five" caught listeners' ears with exotic, challenging rhythms, has died. He was 91.Skip to next paragraph
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
Brubeck died Wednesday morning said his manager Russell Gloyd. Brubeck would have turned 92 on Thursday.
Brubeck had a career that spanned almost all American jazz since World War II. He formed The Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1951 and was the first modern jazz musician to be pictured on the cover of Time magazine — on Nov. 8, 1954 — and he helped define the swinging, smoky rhythms of 1950s and '60s club jazz.
The seminal album "Time Out," released by the quartet in 1959, was the first ever million-selling jazz LP, and is still among the best-selling jazz albums of all time. It opens with "Blue Rondo a la Turk" in 9/8 time — nine beats to the measure instead of the customary two, three or four beats.
A piano-and-saxophone whirlwind based loosely on a Mozart piece, "Blue Rondo" eventually intercuts between Brubeck's piano and a more traditional 4/4 jazz rhythm.
The album also features "Take Five" — in 5/4 time — which became the Quartet's signature theme and even made the Billboard singles chart in 1961. It was composed by Brubeck's longtime saxophonist, Paul Desmond.
"When you start out with goals — mine were to play polytonally and polyrhythmically — you never exhaust that," Brubeck told The Associated Press in 1995. "I started doing that in the 1940s. It's still a challenge to discover what can be done with just those two elements."
After service in World War II and study at Mills College in Oakland, Calif., Brubeck formed an octet including Desmond on alto sax and Dave van Kreidt on tenor, Cal Tjader on drums and Bill Smith on clarinet. The group played Brubeck originals and standards by other composers, including some early experimentation in unusual time signatures. Their groundbreaking album "Dave Brubeck Octet" was recorded in 1946.
The group evolved into the Quartet, which played colleges and universities. The Quartet's first album, "Jazz at Oberlin," was recorded live at Oberlin College in Ohio in 1953.
Ten years later, Joe Morello on drums and Eugene Wright on bass joined with Brubeck and Desmond to produce "Time Out."
In later years Brubeck composed music for operas, ballet, even a contemporary Mass.
In 1988, he played for Mikhail Gorbachev, at a dinner in Moscow that then-President Ronald Reagan hosted for the Soviet leader.
"I can't understand Russian, but I can understand body language," said Brubeck, after seeing the general secretary tapping his foot.
In the late 1980s, Brubeck contributed music for one episode of an eight-part series of television specials, "This Is America, Charlie Brown."

How do I update my phone software?
We periodically release Windows Phone software updates to add new features you've asked for and to maximise your phone's performance. When a software update is available for you to download, we'll notify you so you can download it directly to your phone over a WiFi or mobile data connection. To see what features or improvements have been added in the latest update, see Windows Phone 8 update history.
Before you download and install an update:
- Make sure your phone is well charged, so you don't lose power during the update.
- If you're worried about mobile data charges, use WiFi and manually download the update. See How can I minimise my data usage? to learn more.
- Make sure you have enough storage space on your phone for the update. To see how much you have available, in the App list, go to Settings > Phone storage. For more information about how to move things off your phone to make more room, see Making room on your phone to update it.
How to download updates automatically
In the App list, tap Settings > Phone update.
Tap the Automatically download updates if my data settings allow it checkbox.
Updates won't download if data settings on your phone prevent it. For example, both Data Sense and Battery Saver can limit how your phone uses data. To learn more, see Using Data Sense to track data usage. (Not all mobile operators offer Data Sense.)
How to check for updates manually
In the App list, tap Settings > Phone update.
Tap Check for updates.
Make some room on your phone for the update. If necessary, remove a few unwanted apps or other large items.
Windows Phone will let you know when new updates are available. If you check manually for an expected update and your phone appears to be up to date, it may be that it isn't available yet for your specific phone, mobile operator or market.
How to install an update
If you aren't set up to automatically download updates, tap Download when prompted after checking for updates or receiving an update notification.
Do one of the following:
- Tap Install, tap Show details, then tap Install again. Your phone will restart, then install the update.
- Tap Postpone if you want to go back to Settings > Phone update later to install the update.
It usually takes 5 to 10 minutes to install an update, but it could take longer.
After your phone restarts, wait for it to migrate your settings, then tap Done to finish the update.

The Enhancement Themes programme aims to enhance the student learning experience in Scottish higher education by identifying specific areas (Themes) for development. The Themes encourage academic staff, support staff and students to share good practice and collectively generate ideas and models for innovation in learning and teaching. Each Theme is written up in a paper summarised on the Enhancement Themes website.
The review method we use to review standards and quality at higher education institutions in Scotland is Enhancement-Led Institutional Review (ELIR). An important element of this are the Themes that drive enhancement of the student experience. The findings of ELIR reports are analysed in the Learning from ELIR series. The topics on which papers are available are listed below.

Fold each rope in half, twist strands once, pinch ends to seal and place on lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheets 2-inch apart. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after touching.
5. To glaze, brush egg over twists. Bake in centre of 425°F oven for about 15 minutes or until twists are golden brown. Remove form baking sheet; let cool on racks.
*You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) yeast in place of Active Dry Yeast. When using Instant Yeast, expect your dough to rise faster. Always let your dough rise until ripe. Traditional methods: use equal amounts; Bread Machine: use 1/2 tsp Instant Yeast OR 3/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast per cup of flour in your recipe.

The Triumph Thruxton is a great looking retro cafe racer, which just doesn't have the punchy power you'd expect of a big twin. It also sounds dull, boring almost. Compared to buying a well restored Triton 650 for the same money, the modern day Triumph Thruxton is a weak imitation of genuine cafe racer cool.

Somehow you already know if you want the BMW R1200S. The looks divide opinions, but only half as much as the Boxer engine and the Telelever/Paralever suspension do.

Fund Goal and Approach
The fund seeks long-term capital growth consistent with the preservation of capital. Current income is a secondary goal. To pursue its goals, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks. The fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities (i.e., securities issued by companies organized under the laws of countries other than the U.S.). The fund invests principally in common stocks, but its stock investments may include preferred stocks and convertible securities, including to a limited degree, those purchased in initial public offerings (IPOs).
The fund invests in stocks selected by a team of core research analysts, with each analyst responsible for fund investments in his or her area of expertise. As the fund's portfolio managers, these analysts utilize a fundamental, bottom-up research process to identify investments for the fund. The fund invests in those companies in which the analysts have the highest degree of conviction or have identified a strong near-term catalyst for earnings growth or share price appreciation. The analysts, under the direction of the director of the core research team, determine the fund's allocations among market sectors. The fund's portfolio is structured so that its sector weightings generally are similar to those of the Russell 1000� Growth Index, the fund's benchmark. The Russell 1000� Growth Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of those Russell 1000 Index companies (the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000� Index (the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization), which represents approximately 90% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index) with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.
The fund typically sells a security when the research analyst responsible for the investment believes there has been a negative change in the fundamental factors surrounding the company, the company has become fully valued, or a more attractive opportunity has been identified.
Although not a principal investment strategy, the fund may, but is not required to, use derivatives, such as options, futures and options on futures (including those relating to stocks, indexes and foreign currencies) and forward contracts, as a substitute for investing directly in an underlying asset, to increase returns, or as part of a hedging strategy. The fund also may engage in short-selling, typically for hedging purposes, such as to limit exposure to a possible market decline in the value of its portfolio securities. The fund also may invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in order to provide exposure to certain equity markets.
An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit. It is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. It is not a complete investment program. The value of your investment in the fund will fluctuate, sometimes dramatically, which means you could lose money.
* Risks of stock investing. Stocks generally fluctuate more in value than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is the chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The market value of a stock may decline due to general market conditions that are not related to the particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. A security's market value also may decline because of factors that affect a particular industry, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry, or factors that affect a particular company, such as management performance, financial leverage, and reduced demand for the company's products or services.
* Growth stock risk. Investors often expect growth companies to increase their earnings at a certain rate. If these expectations are not met, investors can punish the stocks inordinately, even if earnings do increase. In addition, growth stocks may lack the dividend yield that may cushion stock prices in market downturns.
* Foreign investment risk. To the extent the fund invests in foreign securities, the fund's performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign issuers. Special risks associated with investments in foreign issuers include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political and economic instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are subject to the risk that such currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the value of these investments held by the fund.
In addition to the principal risks described above, the fund is subject to the following additional risks.
* Market sector risk. The fund may significantly overweight or underweight certain companies, industries or market sectors, which may cause the fund's performance to be more or less sensitive to developments affecting those companies, industries or sectors.
* Derivatives risk. A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the fund's performance. The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value, and there is the risk that changes in the value of a derivative held by the fund will not correlate with the underlying instruments or the fund's other investments. Derivative instruments, such as forward contracts, also involve the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the derivative instruments to make required payments or otherwise comply with the derivative instruments' terms. Many of the regulatory protections afforded participants on organized exchanges for futures contracts and exchange-traded options, such as the performance guarantee of an exchange clearing house, are not available in connection with over-the-counter derivative transactions. Certain types of derivatives, including forward contracts and other over-the-counter transactions, involve greater risks than the underlying obligations because, in addition to general market risks, they are subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk, credit risk and pricing risk. Because many derivatives have a leverage component, adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, reference rate or index can result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. The fund may be required to segregate liquid assets, or otherwise cover its obligations, relating to the fund's transactions in derivatives.
* Leverage risk. The use of leverage, such as lending portfolio securities, entering into futures contracts or forward currency contracts, and engaging in forward commitment transactions, may magnify the fund's gains or losses.
* Exchange-traded fund (ETF) risk. ETFs typically trade on a securities exchange and their shares may, at times, trade at a premium or discount to their net asset values. In addition, an ETF may not replicate exactly the performance of the benchmark index it seeks to track for a number of reasons, including transaction costs incurred by the ETF, the temporary unavailability of certain index securities in the secondary market or discrepancies between the ETF and the index with respect to the weighting or number of instruments held by the ETF. Investing in ETFs, which are investment companies, may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses. The fund will incur brokerage costs when purchasing and selling shares of ETFs.
* Short sale risk. The fund may make short sales, which involves selling a security it does not own in anticipation that the security's price will decline. Short sales expose the fund to the risk that it will be required to buy the security sold short (also known as "covering" the short position) at a time when the security has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the fund.
* IPO risk. The prices of securities purchased in IPOs can be very volatile. The effect of IPOs on the fund's performance depends on a variety of factors, including the number of IPOs the fund invests in relative to the size of the fund and whether and to what extent a security purchased in an IPO appreciates or depreciates in value. As a fund's asset base increases, IPOs often have a diminished effect on such fund's performance.
* Other potential risks. The fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. In connection with such loans, the fund will receive collateral from the borrower equal to at least 100% of the value of loaned securities. If the borrower of the securities fails financially, there could be delays in recovering the loaned securities or exercising rights to the collateral.
Under adverse market conditions, the fund could invest some or all of its assets in U.S. Treasury securities and money market securities. Although the fund would do this for temporary defensive purposes, it could reduce the benefit from any upswing in the market. During such periods, the fund may not achieve its investment objectives.
At times, the fund may engage in short-term trading, which could produce higher transaction costs and taxable distributions, and lower the fund's after-tax performance.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. Download a prospectus, or a summary prospectus, if available, that contains this and other information about the fund, and read it carefully before investing.

Make sure you have a fast internet connection. To experience smooth high quality video playback, your Philips internet ready device by itself should receive a bandwidth of at least 3.2 Mbps consistently.
Smooth high quality video streaming requires high speed internet connections which maintain consistency in bandwidth. If your internet is being shared or your line quality is poor it can cause blocky artifacts and video re-buffering during playback.
Most services such as NETFLIX, BLOCKBUSTER, etc. perform a bandwidth test when you first start playing a video at any given time. Based on the results of this test, the video is streamed to your device at the appropriate bitrate (quality).
For NETFLIX:
NETFLIX has three grades of SD streams and a 720p HD stream. 720p HD and High Quality SD will always look better and sharper than the two lower quality SD streams.NETFLIX recommends at least 3.0 Mbps speed connection for high-quality video and at least 1.5 Mbps for basic-quality video.
