The display unit is connected to the computer via the USB port. It then appears on the desktop as a USB Mass Storage Device from which you can easily transfer files.
With the EasyLink™ database program you can save and organise all your measurements in one place, produce reports with both data and images and export to your maintenance systems. You can customise what your Excel reports should look like and what data should be visible and where it should be positioned. The program has a clear folder structure, where you drag and drop files from the display unit to the database. Create your own structure with folders for manufacturer, department or machine type for example. The database can also be located on a common server and shared with other users. For extra safety you can use EasyLink™ to make backups of what you have saved in the display unit.
Quickly print all measurement data locally with a thermal printer (accessory).
The barcode reader is used to enter the measurement object data automatically before measurement, which can save you time, and minimizes errors. Barcode reader is an accessory.

Mo. Supreme Court Considers Discipline for Judge
JEFFERSON CITY - The Missouri Supreme Court is considering discipline for a judge accused of misconduct.
The judicial disciplinary commission has recommended removing St. Louis Associate Circuit Judge Barbara Peebles. It says Peebles was tardy and did not sufficiently supervise her clerk. The commission also says Peebles left for a vacation without making proper arrangements and removed a court document.
Missouri's high court heard arguments Thursday. Peebles has been a judge since 2000 and was defended by former Supreme Court Judge Ronnie White.
White says Peebles made some mistakes but that removing her is too harsh. He says Peebles started work later to allow a clerk to handle housekeeping matters and was intending to streamline the process. He says Peebles removed the court document because she was confused about its origin and purpose.

Royal Ballet Principals including Tamara Rojo will perform in Metamorphosis: Titian 2012, a unique collaboration between The Royal Ballet and the National Gallery.
Leanne Benjamin, Carlos Acosta, Ed Watson, Sarah Lamb, Nehemiah Kish, Steven McRae, Federico Bonelli and Marianela Nuñez will all perform in what will be Monica Mason's last production as Director of The Royal Ballet. The former dancer retires this year after a career that has spanned 55 years as both artist and administrator.
The performances will also be Tamara's last appearances as a member of The Royal Ballet at Covent Garden before taking up the post of Director at English National Ballet.
Beatriz Stix-Brunell, who earlier this season danced the titular role to acclaim in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Melissa Hamilton, who modeled for Yinka Shonibare's Globe Head Ballerina, will also perform.
The collaboration is part of the Cultural Olympiad's London 2012 Festival and features three works created by seven leading choreographers, including Royal Ballet Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor, Kim Brandstrup and Christopher Wheeldon. Music for the three pieces is by Jonathan Dove, Nico Muhly and Anna Nicole composer Mark-Anthony Turnage.
Bringing together new dance, music, poetry and visual arts, the collaboration celebrates creativity across art forms, drawing on inspiration found in Italian painter Titian's masterpieces.
The production of Metamorphosis: Titian 2012 opens on the 14 July, and will be broadcast live across the country for free as part of BP Summer Big Screens on 16 July. The exhibition opens at the National Gallery on 11 July and runs until 23 September. Admission to this is also free.
The Royal Opera House is hosting a wide range of events and performances as part of the London 2012 Festival, including a water-based opera, The Owl and the Pussycat, and The Olympic Journey, an exhibition focusing on the history of the Olympic Games. Click here for full listings.

Oakmont Candle Co.
Our company has been in business for 10 years. We are going thru an identity crisis at the moment.
We are a manufacturer of natural soy candles. Our business is mainly private label for other companies. For example, large hotel chains such as 3 Starwood brands, Soap and Paper Factory, Lather Inc, Wyk Candles...
Also, we do fundraisers with local organizations such as schools, bands and non-profit agencies.
Our desired target are companies that are looking to add a candle line to their existing business. Wether it be a boutique or a large perfume company.
I am looking for a site that makes us appear much "larger" than what we are. Please be creative.
this is our site now. http://www.oakmontcandlecompany.com
We want to get rid of the "crafty" look of our site and create a more insdustrial feel. (like our business is in the city) I don't want our site to look Victorian either. Our retail shop was in an old home so we went with that look.
I am thinking our pictures should be in black and white. I have some factory shots I can send over.
I like the look of this site:

Correction Appended: Feb. 12, 2010
On some level, the very idea of a McDonald's chef sounds preposterous. Burgers, fries, the McRib is this really the work of a chef? The food at McDonald's tastes partly of nostalgia and partly of marketing; the rest is surely salt.
And yet have you eaten at a McDonald's lately? In the past five years, the company has started to serve genuinely edible salads, unlike those dry iceberg-and-carrot things it used to offer. The Southwest Salad, which appeared in 2007, comes with a lime wedge and a credible corn salsa. Similarly, the new Angus Third...

It's that time of year again: The sidewalks are filled with ghosts and ghouls -- or, at least, plastic renditions of random celebrities, children's TV show characters, and teenagers seeking candy. Here are some common-sense tips for maximizing the treats and minimizing the tricks on Halloween.
- Plan your route. Sure, it's easy to hit plan to every house in your neighborhood. But are the Smith's away for the weekend? Are the Howell's on a three-hour cruise? Are the Saunders' still renovating? Stick the houses of people you know -- and the ones you know are home.
- Bring a flashlight. It seems so obvious, but how many times have you walked out the door at twilight and stumbled home in the dark? Tuck a small flashlight in the treat bag. You might not need it, but if you do, you'll be glad to have it.
Make sure your kids can be seen easily. If that means adding a little reflective tape, a glow stick, or an armfull of glow-in-the-dark silly bands to the costume, so be it.
- Don't go out alone (and be suspicious of people who do). Even if you're a teenager who is waaaay too cool to dress up for Halloween, go with at least one or two other people. Younger kids should be in a pack as well, and that pack should include at least one parent (who can stay on the sidewalk while the kids ring the bell).
- Test-drive your costume before the big night. Costumes and masks should be comfortable and well-fitting in order to avoid tripping, obstructed vision, or falls.
- That includes your makeup. Make sure any face paint won't cause an allergic reaction by testing it on an inconspicuous spot (like the inside of your wrist) before Halloween.
- Wear the right shoes. Does your outfit require a crazy high heel? Fine... but wear comfortable, sturdy shoes as you walk from house to house, and slip on the crazy shoes just before you shout "Trick or Treat!" Blisters are definitely not a treat.
- Take care when carving. If you're going to carve actual pumpkins, The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons suggests that adults wield the knives -- and that you use special pumpkin-carving tools, rather than utility knives or kitchen knives, to do the job.
- Beware of dog. If you have one, keep him or her indoors during the Trick-or-Treating hours; be aware of other pets in your neighborhood, and remember that, if you or your kids are dressed up, they may think you're a threat.
- Check your treats. Don't let kids raid their goodie bags until parents have had a chance to inspect the haul first. You're not looking for anything as obvious as razor blades in apples these days; be on the lookout for ripped wrappers, ingredients that may aggravate allergies, or homemade treats from cooks your don't know well.

As a Plymouth, MA-based company full of runners (and riders), the tragic events of Marathon Monday hit particularly close to home for SmartPakers, both emotionally and geographically. But if you've been on Facebook, Twitter or just about any other social media platform within the last few days, you've probably witnessed the amazing outpouring of support the entire country has been showing our city. One of our personal favorites is the repeated use of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s quote, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Thanks to a very cool social campaign, Bostonians now have the opportunity to show just how much light and love we have.
Today has been dubbed as "Boston Spirit Day," where Bostonians have a chance to show our strength, solidarity and pride by rocking the gear of the city we love. SmartPakers were eager to participate, and now we're excited to share with you some photos from our day, and some thoughts about our city.
God Bless all the people of Boston. SmartPak has its roots in Boston and takes great pride in being a part of this magnificent city. It is the home of great leaders, an outstanding equestrian community, successful businesses, elite universities, wicked awesome sports teams, and most importantly strong-willed people that can overcome any challenge with morality, integrity and pride. We are honored to call this city our home and its people our family.
Paal C. Gisholt, President & CEO
Thomas K. McCain, Executive Vice President & CFO
What I love most about Boston is all the memories it's given me. They're too many too list but the least of which will be the memories from this week. It will always be difficult to remember the horrible things that have now happened, but I never want to forget how much goodness Boston has shown during it all. – Laura P., Customer Care
Large enough to be one of America's greatest cities, small enough to call my home. Boston xo – Susan T., Barn Sales
As a native New Yorker, I am still a Yankees and Giants fan, but I have embraced living in Massachusetts and have come to love the city of Boston, mostly for its spirit and pride. For the past 3 years I have spent Marathon Monday rooting on the runners, including my husband. The energy of the day is unexplainable and it's unlike any other event. As the President said on Thursday "this time next year, on the third Monday in April, the world will return to this great American city to run harder than ever, and to cheer even louder, for the 118th Boston Marathon." Knowing the people of Boston and the nationwide support, I am betting on it. I am proud to call Boston home. – Kate M., Marketing
Though I'm technically born and raised on the South Shore, about 40 minutes from the city, I've always taken pride in being "from Boston". No matter where I've travelled, I have always found comfort in finding anything that bears the name or symbol of my home. I'm sure that's true of anyone. Whether an image of my beloved Fenway Park, a silly cartoon teasing us about our use of the term "wicked", or a serene shot of rowers on the river. Boston is history, beauty, strength, and love. Boston is my home. – Sara R., Customer Care
I'm from Sandy Hook, CT, and the outpouring of support that Boston and the rest of the world showed my hometown made me so humbled during our time of need, and the support from my hometown for Boston even though we're still struggling to overcome our own tragedy is absolutely amazing. I was proud to be a transplanted "Bostonian" then, and I'm even more proud now as people from all over pull together to support everyone that has been affected by such a terrible event. I am Sandy Hook, I am Boston, and I choose love, I choose hope, I stand with Sandy Hook, and I stand with Boston. – Jess D., Customer Care
I was born and raised in New York, and with that comes an inherent dislike for all things Boston. When I moved here to work at SmartPak, I thought I'd forever be an outsider. Boy was I wrong. There's something so incredibly wonderful about Boston that you just can't help but fall in love with the city and consider its people your family. I lived in New York in 2001, and I know that cities and people can bounce back from tremendous tragedy and pain. I have no doubt in my heart that Bostonians will come back stronger and more united than ever. I can't wait to watch the runners cross the finish line next year. Heck, maybe I'll even be one of them! – Sarah P., Marketing
I can't put my Boston pride into words. It's such a part of the fabric of me that maybe there are no words—I was born here, went to school here, graduated from 2 Boston colleges, and started my career here. All I can really say is, "We are Boston, and we are strong." – Kristin P., Creative
It may not be my hometown, but Boston is a part of me. It's a part of anyone who has ever visited. It's about the history, it's about the sports, and the music, and the culture. Most importantly it's about the people – that is Boston Pride! – Cathlin B., Finance
I grew up in Vermont, but attended UMass Amherst and have lived in Massachusetts for 14 years. Also, my parents lived, worked, and were married in Boston before settling in Vermont. Boston is the heart of what it means to be a New Englander; kind, quirky, tough, proud, and badass. – Jessica N., Marketing
Boston isn't a place it's an identity. – Lara F., Merchandising
I worked on Boylston Street for three years and can honestly say that once Boston it is in your blood, you're a Bostonian for life. It is a city that wears its heart on its sleeve – especially its sports hearts. Boston Pride was practically palpable in the air during things like playoffs, holidays and Patriots Day. My former offices have been part of a crime scene all week, and I can't imagine my beloved neighborhood being the same for a long time. But I know that Boston Pride runs deep and will remain Boston Strong! – Elizabeth R., Customer Care
The history engrained in every winding street is palpable, as you walk through Boston. The mix of long established educational institutions, legendary music venues and cultural centers makes for such a dynamic city. Even though I don't live in Boston proper, I feel a pride for the city, and all the memories I have growing up around its culture. – Bjorn M., Marketing
Boston pride is special. When someone asks a us to tell them about ourselves, we don't begin with "Well, I play tennis," or "I'm a writer," we always start with "I'm from Boston". – Annie C., Marketing
B-O-S-T-O-N, born and raised – my home.
Boston is all I know. It is where I was brought up & has molded me to be the person that I am.
I have walked the streets of this city with my mother & sister shopping every weekend since childhood,
For Celtics, RedSox, Bruins, & Patriots celebratory parades.
As a child, constantly being taken to the historical locations to remember those that have helped create this country.
Cruising on the Boston Harbor with my father after docking for lunch.
It's where I fell in love.
The North End's Little Italy is where our love flourished.
It's where I overlooked the city at Priscilla of Boston's when choosing my wedding dress.
Fenway Park is where I celebrated birthdays, graduations, and my bachelorette.
It's where I have worked before, and during college, and learned the knowhow of my trade.
I am Boston, and no matter where I go in the future, it is the place I love to call home. – Brett P., Customer Care

Monkey in the Middle
For my regular readers:
I have been in the hospital for the last 5 days, missed the first Seder night, and haven't been able to post in all that time. So I'm posting these old posts for the holiday of Passover.
A young boy returned home from Hebrew school, washed his hands and sat down to dinner.***********************************************************************
His father asked him what he learned that day in school.
His father smiled and asked his son to relate the story the Rabbi told them.
"Sure Dad," the boy said. "Now this story happened a long time ago, before the time of CNN. Before the time of computers, and cell phones. Before even TV. I think it was in the 1920s or so it happened.
"Egypt was ruled by this guy named Pharaoh. I think it means "Nasty Egyptian". And we Jews were his slaves. We didn't like being slaves and prayed to G-d to set us free. G-d heard our prayers and sent us a miracle.
"G-d sent the IDF back in time to rescue the Children of Israel (I think they rescued the parents too.). The Commandos diverted the Egyptian Army while the Children and their parents fled to the Red Sea (It was red because G-d turned the water to blood like in Zombie Killers 3.). There the IDF built Pontoon bridges across the Red Sea for the people to go across. When the Egypt Army tried to follow, the IDF blew up the bridges.
Moshe Dayan (He is the head of the IDF, I think. Rabbi said he was G-d's greatest profits.) lead the Children of Israel (and their parents) to Mount Sinai where Moshe lays down the law, destroys the Golden Calf and leads them to Israel.
"But it took them 40 years because nobody had a GPS and Moshe would not ask for directions."
His father had a look upon his face that was a cross between total astonishment and WTF. "Is this what the Rabbi taught you?"
"No Dad," the boy said. "But you wouldn't believe the crazy story he did tell."
Actually I'm not sure that is not the correct story. It could be giving that a certain Time Lord, his TARDIS and a few units of the IDF could have pulled it off.
But perhaps G-d did it this way:
From Chabad*********************************************************************
After many decades of slavery to the Egyptian pharaohs, during which time the Israelites were subjected to backbreaking labor and unbearable horrors, G‑d saw the people's distress and sent Moses to Pharaoh with a message: "Send forth My people, so that they may serve Me." But despite numerous warnings, Pharaoh refused to heed G‑d's command. G‑d then sent upon Egypt ten devastating plagues, afflicting them and destroying everything from their livestock to their crops.
At the stroke of midnight of 15 Nissan in the year 2448 from creation (1313 BCE), G‑d visited the last of the ten plagues on the Egyptians, killing all their firstborn. While doing so, G‑d spared the Children of Israel, "passing over" their homes-hence the name of the holiday. Pharaoh's resistance was broken, and he virtually chased his former slaves out of the land. The Israelites left in such a hurry, in fact, that the bread they baked as provisions for the way did not have time to rise. Six hundred thousand adult males, plus many more women and children, left Egypt on that day, and began the trek to Mount Sinai and their birth as G‑d's chosen people.
Or maybe not. Any way that G-d performed the miracle of the Passover was the correct story.

They may not be related in real life, but these days California Governor Jerry Brown seems a lot like another Brown, this one the unsinkable Molly.
You may remember that Molly Brown was the socialite and philanthropist who gained fame through heroic rescue efforts of passengers on the Titanic as the ship sank to the bottom of the Atlantic in 1912.
Prompting the nickname (and inspiring the Broadway show, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown"), she ignored the orders of crew members and did what she thought was right under the worst possible conditions. And she lived to tell about it.
So how does this relate to our current governor? Symbolically, perhaps in more ways than might meet the eye.
Jerry Brown is the captain of his own Titanic, otherwise known as California, a state that has for years been drowning in economic, social and political chaos.
In his 18 months as governor, Brown has had to guide the state through the worst economy in memory, often sacrificing with his vetoes those who are most vulnerable to survive these turbulent times with massive cuts in the social safety net.
U.S. & World
These painful decisions have been undertaken with the intent to show the voters that he's squeezed out every ounce of fat from their anti-new taxes diet.
Unable to gain any traction with obstinate legislative Republicans, Brown has turned to the people for support of his temporary tax hikes this November.
That's controversial enough, but he's also moved ahead on two expensive goals, first the high-speed rail project and now the peripheral tunnel proposal, barely looking over his shoulder in the process.
Why now? Because in Brown's eyes all these efforts--new taxes and infrastructure repair--are part of California's desperately needed renewal.
Critics have cast Brown as a leader out of touch with California's limits. They argue that the state is already burdened with too many commitments and that public opinion does not support the governor's lofty goals.
But Brown says California has no limits other than the lack of vision suffered by doubters.
He is resolute, charming, and demanding all at once. And he's not about to give up.
His is a daunting task filled with political risk, yet the governor believes. Just like the unsinkable Molly Brown did.
Say what you want about Jerry Brown, but he's a force, an advocate, a leader.
And he may yet prevail.

Varnava (Prokofiev) of Cannes
His Grace, the Right Reverend Varnava (Prokofiev) was the auxiliary Bishop of Cannes in the administration of the Western European diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia. Now retired, Bp. Varnava is an extremely controversial figure in the history of the ROCOR because of his leading role in ROCOR's involvement in Russia in the 1980s and 1990s, and subsequent schism following the 2001 Council of Bishops of ROCOR.
The future bishop was born Vladimir Nikolaevich Prokofiev in 1945 in Paris, France, to a family of Russian nobility émigrés. He served obedience on Mount Athos before being ordained to the priesthood and subsequently becoming rector of St Michael the Archangel Cathedral in Cannes, France.
The Controversy
In 1980, by the decision of the Council of Bishops of the ROCOR, made in complete secrecy, Fr. Vladimir was consecrated Bishop Varnava and appointed to serve secretly the needs of the Russian Catacomb Church. In 1981, through connections at the French embassy in Moscow, Bp. Varnava clandestinely entered the Soviet Union, using a tourist visa as cover. He then single-handedly consecrated Archimandrite Lazar (Zhurbenko) a bishop for the Catacomb Church. Archimandrite Lazar was a member of a group of Russian Catacombists who joined the ROCOR in 1975.
In 1990, after a decision of the Synod of Bishops, Bp. Varnava openly revealed his episcopacy. At that time, he was appointed Bishop of Cannes, Vicar for the Western European diocese. In 1992, the Synod sent Bishop Varnava to Russia for the purpose of organizing a Synodal epitropy in Moscow to administer ROCOR's growing number of Russian parishes. After entering Russia, Bishop Varnava immediately came under the influence of Protopriest Alexey Averianov, who became his secretary and assistant, helping the émigré bishop "acclimate" to the rapidly changing Russian social and political environment. Protopriest Averianov subsequently was suspended by the Synod for bigamy. In March 1992, Protopriest Averianov arranged for a portion of the former Ss Martha and Mary Convent of Mercy to be converted for church use and become the Synodal epitropy (representation) in Russia as well as headquarters for Bp. Varnava. At that time the former convent housed a state-run hospital. At the same time, through Fr. Averianov's connections, it also became the unofficial headquarters of the Patriotic-Nationalist front "Pamiat" (Remembrance), a far-right Russian extremist group. On March 19, 1992, a press conference was held at the convent, at which Protopriest Averianov announced the endorsement and alliance with Pamiat of Bp. Varnava and Metr. Vitaly . It later turned out that Metr. Vitaly knew nothing of this announcement. Then, in May 19, 1992, Bp. Varnava participated in Pamiat's public demonstration in Moscow.
Bp. Varnava's involvement with Pamiat quickly and irrevocably hurt the reputation of ROCOR in Russia. The democratic press, previously supportive of ROCOR as an alternative to the "communist" Patriarchate became highly critical of its perceived affiliation with marginalized far-right groups. In addition, Averianov's meddling in the affairs of other ROCOR dioceses in Russia led to a full blown conflict among Bishops Varnava, Lazar (Zhurbenko), and Valentine (Rusantsev), the other ROCOR bishops in Russia. This placed ROCOR's affairs in Russia into total disarray. Metr. Vitaly repeatedly distanced himself from the actions emanating from the Martha and Mary Convent of Mercy. His vicar, Bishop Hilarion of Manhattan was sent to Moscow and gave an interview to the Russian journal Ogonek (the Little Light)
In mid 1993, Bp. Varnava wrote to the head of the self-proclaimed Kiev Patriarchate asking for eucharistic communion to be established between it and the ROCOR. This letter forced the Synod to respond by removing Bp. Varnava from his position as Synodal Representative in Moscow. Bp. Varnava continued to serve at the Ss Martha and Mary Convent before being ousted by members of Pamiat, who decided to return to the Moscow Patriarchate. After briefly serving in Valischevo village near Moscow, Bishop Varnava returned to France.
The Mansonville Schism
In April 2001, Bp. Varnava was suspended by an ukaze of the Synod of Bishops of the ROCOR for numerous serious canonical violations, including the "distortion of ecclesiastical discipline and disobedience to the Supreme Administration and for refusal to commemorate during the services the diocesan ruling bishop". Subsequently, Bp. Varnava failed to appear for a spiritual court hearing in May 2001. The Synod of Bishops declared that Bp. Varnava was under suspension until complete repentance and that all sacramental acts performed by him or anyone under his authority are incorrect and unlawful.
In November 2001, following the retirement of Metropolitan Vitaly, Bp. Varnava travelled to Mansonville, Quebec. There, he became the de-facto head of a new organization called the "Russian Orthodox Church in Exile" (ROCiE, also ROCOR (V)). He participated in the consecration of Archimandrite Sergius (Kindiakov) and hieromonk Vladimir (Tselischev) to the episcopate. On November 5, 2001, he was appointed by the ROCiE synod as ruling bishop of Cannes and all Europe, with elevation to the title of Archbishop.
However, in 2003 a full-blown conflict erupted in the ROCiE synod between Bp. Varnava and Protopresbyter Benjamin Zhukov, the rector of ROCiE's largest parish and secretary of the ROCiE synod. Bp. Varnava refused to particpate in the consecration of new bishops for ROCiE's parishes in Russia, which previously were administered directly out of Cannes. In response, the ROCiE synod issued a December 2003 ukaze suspending Bp. Varnava. Bp. Varnava accused Protopresbyter Zhukov of forging Metropolitan Vitaly's signature on the synodal document and suspended Zhukov. Not recognizing the validity of the ukaze, or all subsequent synodal actions, Bp. Varnava became de facto autocephalous.
In February 2006, the ROCOR Synod received a letter from Bp. Varnava, in which he repented of all illegal and uncanonical actions, including disobedience to lawful authority, unilateral acceptance of the title of archbishop, performing services and consecrations as a vicar bishop and while under suspension, and inciting schism. He confirmed that the ordination of Sergius (Kindiakov) was performed by him single-handedly because Metropolitan Vitaly was too ill to participate. He confirmed that other Mansonville ordinations were performed without his knowledge or agreement. And he requested to be accepted back into the ROCOR in his original title, as vicar bishop of Cannes under suspension.
The ROCOR Synod resolved to accept Bp. Varnava as a vicar bishop of Cannes and lifted all suspensions. However, he was placed in retirement, without the right of serving outside of the cathedral in Cannes, without the right of performing any ordinations, and without the right of participating in any ROCOR council or synod meetings. On July 2, 2006, Bishop Gabriel of Manhattan served at the Cannes cathedral together with Bp. Varnava, marking Bp. Varnava's reacceptance into the ROCOR.
The ROCOR Synod announced that the Cannes cathedral of the Holy Archangel Michael returned to the ROCOR together with Bp. Varnava, its rector. However, it soon became evident that the situation in Cannes was not clear-cut. Before petitioning to be reaccepted into the ROCOR, Bp. Varnava changed the Statute of the Cannes cathedral in order to ensure that the he could take the cathedral with him. However, a group of clerics led by Protodeacon Herman Ivanov-Trinadtsatiy left for a self-proclaimed sect, the "Russian True-Orthodox Church (RIPTs)" and attempted to take the cathedral with them. A legal battle errupted in Cannes and, as of March 2007, a French judge ordered a restraining order against Bp. Varnava and priests loyal to him not allowing them to serve in the cathedral, where only reader services are now served. The final status of the Cannes cathedral, a monument of historical significance, will be decided in the French court system.

Nashville, Tenn. – The Ohio Valley Conference announced Sunday that Tennessee State redshirt junior kick returner Martin Stevenson was named Co-Specialist of the Week for his play against Florida A&M.
Hours later, Stevenson was named National Kick Returner of Week by the College Football Performance Awards.
Stevenson had two kick returns for 111 yards including a 95-yard touchdown during Saturday's 27-7 drilling of the Rattlers in Tallahassee.
The Detriot, Mich. native's special team's touchdown was TSU's first since Weldon Garlington's 100-yard return on Oct. 1, 2011 versus Austin Peay.
Stevenson's first return of the season went for 43 yards in week one against Bethune-Cookman and he is now second on the team in all-purpose yards with 154. He is averaging 51.3 yards per return in 2013.
Chad Zinchini of Tennessee Tech shared this week's OVC award with Stevenson.
Stevenson and the rest of the Tigers will take on Jackson State on Sept. 14 in the Southern Heritage Classic in Memphis. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Imagine yourself standing up in a convertible. It is a calm day, so there's no true wind. As the convertible starts forward, you will begin to feel a breeze on your face that increases as the speed of the car increases. At 10 mph you will feel a 10-mph breeze on your face. This is apparent wind.
Now imagine yourself in the same car heading north and there's an easterly wind of 10 mph blowing. This nature-produced wind from the east is what we call true wind. It is hitting the right side of your face. As the car starts forward you will not feel two different winds, one on the side and one on the front of your face, but a resultant wind coming from an angle forward of the true wind. What you feel is the apparent wind.
In this example (see Figure 1), the apparent wind (the diagonal) measures 17 knots and bears 27 degrees from your heading versus 40 degrees for the true wind. Notice how the direction of the apparent wind changes with the true wind in the subsequent diagrams. (For the purposes of these diagrams we'll keep true-wind speed and boat speed constant, which would only be the case at different points of sailing if the boats were different sizes.)
Four points are obvious from these diagrams. First, the apparent wind is always forward of the true wind (unless the true wind is dead ahead or astern). Second, as the true wind comes aft, the apparent wind lessens in velocity. Third, when the true wind is well aft, a small change in true-wind direction makes a large change in apparent-wind direction. And fourth, when the boat is on a beam reach or close-hauled, the apparent wind is of greater velocity than the true wind.
A more positive way of determining true-wind direction is by heading off momentarily until the apparent wind and the true wind line up, i.e., dead downwind. The difference between the new heading and your former heading, 20 degrees in the example above, when doubled (40 degrees) is the number of degrees through which you'll jibe.
This reduction of the wind speed you feel on the boat and thereby the force of the wind on the sails can lull you into forgetting the difference which becomes evident when you round a mark and start on a beat. You may have started your sailing outing on a run, so you had no idea of the apparent-wind strength on a beat. Or the wind may have increased during the run. Either way you must consider the possibility that you may have to shorten sail on a cruising boat when you come up on a beat, and it is easiest to change jibs while still on the run.
Let's say a boat is going nine knots in a 16-knot breeze. If dead downwind, the apparent wind is the true wind minus the boat speed, or just seven knots. This doesn't feel like much wind and the force on the sails is relatively light. When the boat starts beating, she may slow down to six knots, but the apparent wind increases to almost 21 knots. You would assume that, since the apparent wind is now three times greater than the downwind velocity, it exerts three times the force against the sails. Wrong. The force of the wind quadruples as the velocity doubles (the square of the velocity), so the wind force is nine times greater on the close-hauled course than on the run in this case. Couple this with the increased heeling moment of the close-hauled course, and the boat may very well be overpowered. So you should have the forethought to shorten the sail during the run.
The third point we made about the apparent-wind diagrams was that when the true wind is well aft, a small change in the true-wind direction makes a large change in apparent-wind direction. (Compare Figures 2 and 3 with Figures 4 and 5.) In our example, a 30-degree change in the true-wind direction made a 38-degree change in apparent wind. In comparing Figure 4 with Figure 5, we find that a 16-degree change in the true wind makes a 28-degree change in apparent wind. This, among other things, is what makes steering dead downwind so difficult. A small swing by the lee actually results in an exaggerated swing of the apparent wind by the lee. This can cause oscillation as the apparent wind swings madly back and forth from one side of the boat to the other on relatively minor changes in heading. At worst, it can force an inexperienced helmsman into a flying jibe.
|Figures 4 and 5: A small change in the true wind direction makes a large change in apparent wind direction.
The fourth point was that when a boat is reaching or beating, the apparent wind is of greater velocity than the true wind. You are, in effect, "making your own wind." In iceboating this is an important part of the resulting high speeds. Some iceboats, for instance, can reach speeds five to six times the speed of the wind and can attain speeds of 120 knots in 24 knots of wind. The faster the boat goes, the higher the wind velocity it creates. Only because of the lack of friction can these high speeds be attained. A normal sailboat is limited in speed by hull resistance, skin friction, and wave-making drag, so it cannot take full advantage of the increased apparent-wind velocity. A planing sailboat is more apt to get up on a high-speed plane while on a reach rather than a run just because of this apparent-wind increase. Even so, the faster a boat is to windward, the more close-winded (able to head close to the wind) it must be.
In the first set of wind diagrams, everything remains constant except the direction of the true wind, which moves farther aft in each subsequent diagram. Now let us change the boat speed and the wind velocity, keeping the true-wind direction at 45 degrees off the bow.
We already know that we point higher in order to reduce heeling when hit by an overpowering gust. This axiom shows another reason to do the same thing. As the gust hits, the apparent wind goes aft causing more heeling and less drive and changing the angle of incidencethe angle the apparent wind makes with the sailsso that the sails are now improperly trimmed unless you head up or ease the sheets or traveler. This change in apparent-wind direction is important to remember even on light days. When you have a three-knot breeze, the wind velocity in a puff is apt to be more than double the regular breeze. When it is blowing 15 knots, gusts may get to only 20 or 22 knots, or about a third higher. Thus, the change in apparent-wind direction aft is often greater on light days than on heavy ones.
The dot-dash lines in the diagram show the resulting change in apparent wind when the wind dies suddenly. With the boat speed remaining constant and the wind velocity lowering to six knots, the apparent wind goes forward. This is one of the reasons that small catamarans rarely carry spinnakers. If they do carry a spinnaker, it is a flat, asymmetrical sail much like a reaching genoa. The hulls have very little resistance to the water, and the cats sail downwind almost as fast as the wind, making it very difficult to keep a spinnaker drawing. If the wind dies for a moment, the spinnaker collapses and it is very difficult to get it filled until the boat slows down. Therefore, small cats, much like iceboats, tack downwind by jibing. By sailing from reach to reach, they pick up greater speed and make up the extra distance sailed.

On July 31st celebrities and elite music enthusiasts gathered rooftop to watch London born Grammy award winning singer-songwriter Estelle. The "invite only" affair took place in Hollywood at the beautiful London Hotel where guests sipped Rosa Regale while overlooking the city.
VIP guests were treated to personal bottles of champagne and gourmet hors d'oeuvres while others buzzed in anticipation for Estelle to appear on stage. As the background singers and musicians appeared, the excitement arose as guests moved quickly toward the stage to get a first glance of the singer. Estelle appeared on stage and immediately thanked the crowd while engaging in charismatic banter. Her British accent and beautiful features took the crowd captive as she belted out her first song with the L.A skyline as her backdrop.
Mixing in familiar songs like "American Boy" with songs from her new album "All of Me". Estelle's wit and charm was refreshing as she interacted with the crowd and even brought a lucky male guest on stage to serenade.
At the end of her set Estelle raised a glass of Rose Regale and asked the crowd to raise theirs and toast to a wonderful life before closing the show with her new single, "Wonderful Life."
Estelle will also be joining forces with Anthony Hamilton on his newly announced 15-city Back To Love tour. Visit ticketmaster for details!

Hello everybody,
Since the 8th of May this year, my iPhone suddenly lost Bluetooth, Phone, Sms, Wifi, Egde and my speakers also won't work.
Shutting down takes ages.
Its now basically an iPod Touch without wifi.
What exactly happened?
I bought a first generation iPhone, got it jailbroken, unlocked and downgraded the bootloader to 3.9FB.
He worked perfect, but then the other day, while I was surfing the web, he gave me aan Error message.
"Repair needed".
I restored the phone and since then I always get the message.
What I tried
I googled litterally my ass of the couple of months.
I saw alot of "Solutions" that didn't work for me.
Like restoring tot 1.0.1 and then again to 1.1.4.
Alsof 2.0 came out so they told me restoring to that firmware would probably help, but it didn't.
Also tried to manually reflash the baseband with an terminal, nope didn't work.
I even put it into the freezer for 24 hours and got the battery totally drained, they said on low power
I could probably flash my baseband, didn't work.
Winpwn 2.5 has the ability to create custom firmware, wich can wipe my phone, create new baseband files and even change the root partition, but I can't get the iPhone pwned.
Not on Linux, Apple or Windows.
I think my baseband is corrupt.
Do you guys think you can help me?

CALGARY — Honey, a 21-month-old black Labrador, was introduced as the newest member of the Calgary Fire Department with goals to lead to quicker fire assessments, fewer man-hours, and a minimal cost to the city.
The pooch will act as an accelerant detection dog, going into buildings once the fire has been extinguished and sniffing his way to the fire fuel.
"She leads investigators to the point of saturation, which is where we will find the best samples for laboratory testing," said fire investigator Brad McDonald, who handles Honey. "She will either lead investigators in the proper direction or be able to support what we found."
Last year alone, the fire department was not able to determine what caused about 107 fires.
With a nose that can pick up accelerants in the parts per billions compared with the parts per million in standard equipment, Honey should be an integral tool to the department.
During the introduction, Honey proved her purpose.
Sniffing out four cups with different liquids in it, she was able to determine each time which one held a few drops of liquid accelerant.
"It's pretty impressive what they can do," McDonald said.
The pair spent five weeks training in Maine with tests to determine scents of various fire fuels, completely paid for by State Farm Insurance.
As well, Encana Corp. sponsored a natural gas truck and fuel for the duo for the next five years.
That means the cost to the fire department will be minimal, said Acting Chief Ken Uzeloc, with the department picking up the bill for general pet costs like food and veterinarian services.
"If Honey can help determine whether they were suspicious in nature or accidental, that's a bonus to help us work toward bringing people who find the need to intentionally set fires to prosecution," Uzeloc said, adding there was 168 arson cases over the past three years.
It's been so far so good for the pooch, having attended six fires over the first eight shifts.
Honey acts like just another dog away from the scene, licking his owner and begging for attention, but knows when McDonald buckles on the food pouch and leashes him, it's go time for the black Lab.

Exploratory Data Analysis: The 5-Number Summary – Two Different Methods in R
August 12, 2013 6 Comments
Continuing my recent series on exploratory data analysis (EDA), today's post focuses on 5-number summaries, which were previously mentioned in the post on descriptive statistics in this series. I will define and calculate the 5-number summary in 2 different ways that are commonly used in R. (It turns out that different methods arise from the lack of universal agreement among statisticians on how to calculate quantiles.) I will show that the fivenum() function uses a simpler and more interpretable method to calculate the 5-number summary than the summary() function. This post expands on a recent comment that I made to correct an error in the post on box plots.
> y = seq(1, 11, by = 2) > y [1] 1 3 5 7 9 11 > fivenum(y) [1] 1 3 6 9 11 > summary(y) Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 1.0 3.5 6.0 6.0 8.5 11.0
Why do these 2 methods of calculating the 5–number summary in R give different results? Read the rest of this post to find out the answer!
Previous posts in this series on EDA include
- Descriptive statistics
- Box plots
- The conceptual foundations of kernel density estimation
- How to construct kernel density plots and rug plots in R

I am a sucker for handmade tree decorations, they don't have to be fancy, clever or time consuming, just simple suits me fine, and they don't come much more simple or quick than these. I've been trying this year to use up whatever I can of my scraps and my stash of, well everything. I'm sure I've mentioned it before but I collect even the smallest pieces of ribbon from anywhere I see them, handles from falling apart Paper and Card Bags, from the shoulders of new clothes etc etc, so I have a ton of too small to be useful pieces of ribbon in every colourway imaginable. I kept them in a shoe box just waiting for some idea to make them useful again, until now.
What you will need for this Tutorial:
Sheet of Green Felt or other non fraying fabric
Scraps of Brown Felt or other non fraying fabric
Old Cereal Box
Hot Glue Gun or a decent white glue
A roll of 1/4 inch Ribbon
Scraps of assorted Lace/Ribbon/Trim of all sorts
Sturdy Needle
Chop stick/Toothpick/Skewer (will save you from burning your fingers if using Hot Glue gun)
1. Start out by cutting a template for your Trees from your old Cereal box, mine were roughly 3 inches high by 2 inches wide you could do them all free hand but as you'll need two triangles for each decoration you want them to match. Cut an even number of these from your Green felt, if you want 6 decorations cut 12 etc etc.
2. Now for the fun part, take out your ribbon scraps and decorate your trees, in one colour, multicoloured, however takes your fancy. Glue them down and leave a bit either side to wrap around the felt piece.
3. When all ribbons are stuck down, flip over the piece and glue down the ends of the ribbon. Using the toothpick/Chopstick/Skewer push down each ribbon end until they are secure.
Here you see the messy back part and the front looking all tidy with loose ends tucked away.
4. Next up cut a piece of Brown felt for the tree trunk roughly 1/2 inch by 4 inches, add glue along the back and fold it in half lengthways.
5. Stick the tree trunk to the messy side of your Tree piece and cut another card triangle just a hair smaller than your felt piece. If you made a template at the beginning use this to trace around then cut it smaller, trace the new smaller piece for other decorations, you need one for each tree. Take an undecorated triangle of Green felt and stick your smaller card triangle on to it, there should be a gap around it.
6. Glue both pieces together, making sure you seal up the edges (glue then press together) to stop the card showing. Next up Marvel at your creative skills then take a ribbon, thread your sturdy needle and pierce the top of the Tree (making sure you are poking the needle through the card), pull the ribbon all the way through and tie in a double knot. Knot the ends furthest way from the tree together to then hang your tree decs.
Other Ideas:
Make these as cute Gift Toppers, with Ink just stamp the persons name across one of the ribbons.
Then add a Card stand to the back and they could be Place cards.
pr leave as is but attach to the front of a card (using foam adhesive tape) for a reusable Xmas memento.
Hope you enjoy making these, I just kept going until I ran out of all my Green Felt leftover piecess.

Q: My daughter's having a friend over for a sleepover. If the friend trips and falls or something, would my homeowners policy cover her medical bills?
A: Generally yes, since most modern homeowners policies have what's known as "guest medical" coverage. This is designed to pay the medical bills -- up to a specified dollar limit per accident -- for accidental injury to guests. But it doesn't cover you or other resident family members.
The coverage is a no-fault type of coverage that is designed to apply to accidents with no determination of fault or negligence on your part. Your insurer will still do an investigation to gather the facts of the accident.
Note: This is one of a series of common -- or in some cases, particularly unusual -- questions received by our consumer advocacy staff, who answer questions from consumers.

Maori (mä´ōrē), people of New Zealand and the Cook Islands, believed to have migrated in early times from other islands of Polynesia. Maori tradition asserts that seven canoes brought their ancestors to New Zealand. The Maori language is closely related to Tahitian, Hawaiian, and other languages spoken on the islands lying E of Samoa in the South Pacific. In the early 19th cent., at the end of their war against European encroachment, the Maori in New Zealand numbered about 100,000. The number later dwindled to 40,000. Largely through the efforts of their own chiefs, however, they have reemerged as an economically self-sufficient minority in New Zealand, and their population today is more than 500,000. The Maori maintain their own cultural identity apart from the general New Zealand community, while at the same time sending representatives to parliament. Since the 1970s the Maoris and the government have negotiated several settlements of land and other claims lodged by various Maori groups; the claims date back to the 19th cent., when land was seized by British colonists in violation of the Treaty of Waitangi. See also New Zealand.

Motorola Mobility does not infringe a Microsoft radio interface patent, the lower regional court of Mannheim ruled on Friday, denying Microsoft another sales ban on Motorola devices in Germany.
Microsoft had accused Google-owned Motorola Mobility of infringing on a patent that describes a radio interface layer that provides a level of abstraction between the radio and software on a cell phone. This patented technology allows applications on the phone to access the phonebook entries, restrict access to data and access file and message storage among many other functions, according to the patent.
Microsoft sued Motorola in Germany, asking the company to pay licensing fees on its Android-based smartphones as rivals HTC and Samsung Electronics have done.
"This decision does not impact multiple injunctions Microsoft has already been awarded and has enforced against Motorola products in Germany," Microsoft said in an emailed statement. "It remains that Motorola is broadly infringing Microsoft's intellectual property, and we hope it will join the vast majority of Android device makers by licensing Microsoft's patents."
Motorola did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Microsoft already has three injunctions against Motorola in Germany for infringing an SMS patent, a FAT file system patent and a patent describing a method for handling communication between a keyboard and an application.
The two earlier German injunctions are being enforced and the third one will be soon. One of the rulings included a sales ban on the Motorola Atrix, the Droid Razr and the Droid Razr Maxx.
Microsoft also has an injunction against Motorola in the U.S., where the International Trade Commission ruled that Motorola infringes on an ActiveSync patent. That ruling prevents Motorola from importing infringing products into the U.S.

My Bainbridge connection
I have not yet managed to track many of my Bainbridge ancestors. The first Bainbridge in my pedigree is my 2x great grandmother Eleanor Bainbridge born about 1829 in Walker in Northumberland. As with many of my Eleanor grannies we have had some confusion trying to trace appropriate records as the Christian name tends to vary between Eleanor and Ellen on different documents. Next in line after Eleanor is 3x great grandfather John Bainbridge. Need to make an effort to find out more about him.
A family rumour suggested initially that Eleanor was some connection to the Bainbridge family who owned the department store in Newcastle, but closer investigation showed her father to be a pitman.

Keswick's Black Cat Road is a microcosm of Albemarle County. Starting at the corner with elegant Belcort Farm and its stable of championship horses, the road winds past trailers, old farmhouses, McMansions, shacks, churches, modest bungalows, and open land, a little neighborhood all by itself.
This tidy farmhouse on two acres fits right in. From the outside, it seems typical not only of its era (early 1900s) but also of the road itself, with the boxwood bushes at the entrance, a sweep of daffodils along the bank in front, and a garage and garden out back.
There's even the ever-present wrap-around porch with traditional blue ceiling, and just a step or two away, a hammock stretched between two Virginia pines.
A sort of after-thought addition leans against the back of the house in front of a small slate patio. (This room houses the laundry facilities.)
So from the outside, everything seems unexceptional not ho-hum, certainly, but maybe just okay. When you drive by, it will be the daffodils and the boxwoods that catch your eye.
But step through the front door into the wide entrance hall, and the word "average" evaporates from your consciousness. Almost everything about the interior of the house is exceptional, beginning with the arrangement of the space.
Right inside the door, the appealing layout is striking. Instead of a cramped entryway leading to traditional room arrangements, here is a wide reception room with glowing red heart-pine floor and dark walnut stairs and railing leading up.
There's a half-bath tucked to the side, but with the door closed, you'd swear it was a coat closet so neatly has it been disguised.
On the left, just inside the door, the owners have turned the original living room space, with a huge slate- and walnut-surrounded fireplace (converted to gas, alas), into a spacious dining room. There are only three windows in the room, but by some combination of paint, lighting, or what-have-you, the whole area seems exceptionally bright and airy.
It leads to the kitchen, which is open and also quite bright. Here the pine floor is covered with rosy tiles, but in the renovation the owners had Mountain Lumber mill heart pine to create counters to match the old floor.
The kitchen opens to the living space across the back; the yard and garden area are just beyond new French doors. The walls are white-painted paneling, but it's not offensive. In fact, it's barely noticeable.
Maybe it's the judicious placement of minimal furniture that makes the whole area seem so appealing. Whatever it is, for a house so seemingly mundane from the outside, this whole first-floor area is amazingly spacious and light almost breezy.
The illusion of space continues on the second level. At the top of the stairs, as at the first-floor entrance, what might have been just a utilitarian landing has become a room. The owners are using this space as a sitting area, but with the lovely walnut stair railing at one side and large window in the front, it could be an elegant office.
The three bedrooms are large and painted in pastel colors, which create a feeling of tranquility and calm (the periwinkle blue guest room had the effect of a field of poppies we wanted to lie down on the big bed and stay all afternoon).
There's only one bath up here, but what a bath. As in most old houses built before the advent of indoor plumbing, this was probably originally a bedroom. Now it's a big bathroom with midnight blue tiles, and the best thing in the house a glass-bricked shower in which the bricks (topped with marble!) go only about two-thirds of the way up, so while you shower, you can gaze on the tranquil view out the back window. What a nice touch.
In all, this house proves the maxim that appearances are deceiving. No one driving down Black Cat Road would know that within such an ordinary-appearing old farmhouse lurks a beautiful, open expanse of sweetness and light.

The Cheetah 3-Way Toggle Switch from Leviton is your basic 3-way toggle switch that works in a not so basic system. This toggle switch is part of Leviton's Cheetah Speed System, meaning installation could not be easier or quicker. This UL listed switch is for 3-way applications and is compatible with any Cheetah box and replaces your standard single gang switch.
CHEETAH SPEED DEVICES - Cheetah devices (switches, receptacles, dimmers, GFCI, etc.) are pre-assembled with Cheetah Speed Anchors fastened with standard 6/32 screw (for easy removal or adjustment after installation). After you wire the Cheetah speed device (quickwire or side wire terminals), just push it in! The Cheetah Speed anchors zip-tie into the patented Cheetah Speed wallboxes - always centered and flush with the wall - requiring no screws for installation or finish!
CHEETAH SCREWLESS WALLPLATE - After the device is pushed (zip-tie) into the box, the Cheetah device is flush to the wall. Each Cheetah device has 4 holes which the Cheetah screwless wallplates simply snap into, flush with the wall. Cheetah matte finish wallplates are made from high strength thermoplastic. Each wallplate has eight (8) tabs to ensure a tight snug fit always flush with wall.
CHEETAH SPEED BOXES - Cheetah Speed Boxes (1 - 4 gang boxes) are made from high strength thermoplastic composites with specially designed speed anchor slots. Each slot has teeth molded to receive Cheetah Speed Anchors. As the speed anchor is pushed into the speed anchor slot, the teeth on the box and speed anchor engage in a zip-tie fashion to securely hold the anchor.
