Aerosmith + Joan Jett to Headline Backyard Festival in New York City
Keeping track of the ever-expanding number of summer music festivals just got a little more difficult, thanks to the folks at LivingSocial. The location-based deals website is organizing its own event, dubbed the Backyard Festival, and they're busily lining up an impressive list of performers.
ABC News reports that Aerosmith and Joan Jett will be among the headliners for the festival, which is scheduled for July 13 at Randall's Island in New York City. While the complete lineup is still being finalized, LivingSocial is also promising "bocce ball, slides, see-saws, photo booths, art and crafts, swing sets, Giant Twister and much more."
"This is the summer backyard party to end all backyard parties," boasted CEO Tim O'Shaughnessy, vowing that "When the weather gets hot, Americans have always gathered with friends in their yards to listen to great music, eat great food, share cold beers, and create lifelong memories. LivingSocial's Backyard Festival will propel that beloved summer ritual to the next level with legendary bands, world-class cuisine, top-shelf wine and beer, and games for all ages."
The Backyard Festival will be one of only three North American tour dates scheduled for Aerosmith this summer; the band is currently set to play a Connecticut date on July 10 before heading to Randall's Island, to Japan for a brief string of dates, and back to the U.S. for a Milwaukee show on August 30. Jett, meanwhile, will be leading the Blackhearts through a full complement of dates throughout the summer and fall -- check out the complete list at her official site.

With six homegrown breweries throughout the state, Delaware has no shortage of beer festivals. Check out the latest at this weekend's R2Hop2 Festival in Dover.
1 Another festival? What is this one about?
R2Hop2 began three years ago as a way for Fordham and Dominion Brewing to give back to their community. This year, organizers decided to focus on small businesses.
"We took a slightly different approach this year, choosing to focus on pulling the small businesses that Kent County has to offer," said Fordham and Dominion President and CEO Jim Lutz. "Our goal with this festival is to bring the community together for some great beer and great music.
One thing that hasn't changed is the festival's mascot. It has been and will always be the brewery's dry hopping machine affectionately named R2Hop2, who looks rather similar to another popular alphanumerically named robot.
"Dry hopping is an important step in our beer making process as it is integral to the overall character and aroma of the drink," Marketing Coordinator Lauren Bigalow explained the first year of the festival. "So, we named the festival after R2Hop2 to symbolize our striving for quality and excellence."
2 Festival soundtrack
Lutz mentioned "great music." This year, that includes four bands and a local deejay. Guests can expect to rock out to Lower Case Blues, Community Center, River and Epstein's Mother. In between sets, Deejay Sticks will keep silence at bay with his turntables.
3 "My kids don't care about music. I don't either."
Tire out the whippersnappers of your entourage on the rock wall. There will also be a keg toss competition and a corn hole tournament. For beer drinkers interested in giving the big breweries a run for their money, there will also be homebrew demonstrations.
4 "I go to festivals for the food."
Local fare will not be in short supply at R2Hop2 this year. Organizers are bringing in 14 vendors who will be selling everything imaginable. Oysters? Fried and raw will be available from Steve Curran Oysters. Barbeque? There will be more than enough pulled pork and other BBQ treats from the award-winning guys with Pigheaded BBQ. There will also be craft jerky from Dukes Meats, lobster rolls and crab cakes from Doc Magrogans and lots of backyard eats from the likes of 33 West, Frankfurt Bakery and Deli and Lil Shuckers.
For a sugar rush, Little Richards will bring funnel cakes, cotton candy and other walk-and-talk treats. Vitale's will bring the Italian ice, should the weather hold out with warm, sunny skies.
5 All you can eat…for ten
At 2:30 p.m., ten brave souls will have 10 minutes to test the capacity of their iron stomachs and hollow legs in the new "Bier Dawg Challenge."
Based on the prizes, the free-for-all is likely to pull in fans of the brewery who also happen to love brats. Hoffman Meats will supply the "bier dawgs," which will be handcrafted and cooked with Fordham's own Gypsy Lager.
First place will receive a $50 gift card to Fordham and Dominion; second place wins a $25 gift card; third places wins a $10 gift card.
6 Not everybody likes beer
Given the surge in beer sales and breweries, it's hard to imagine that there might be people who don't like beer. Plus, R2Hop2 is a family affair. Surely, there are more options, right? Of course. Fordham and Dominion is not leaving anyone out. The brewery will have its own root beer on tap for underage partiers. Harvest Ridge Winery and Smyrna's own Painted Stave have also been invited.

Joint Hospital Implementation at Hospital Sant Joan de Deu in Barcelona, Spain
ANDOVER, MA--(Marketwire - February 18, 2009) - Capsule (www.capsuletech.com), the leading
provider of medical device connectivity, today announced a partnership
with Philips Healthcare to expand its reach into Europe, helping health
organizations realize the clinical workflow benefits of medical device
connectivity. Connectivity enables all patient vital signs data from each
device to be automatically sent into Philips' information system without
clinicians having to manually chart, saving time and allowing clinicians to
focus more time on caring for their patients.
Through the Philips and Capsule partnership, hospitals can connect
virtually any bedside medical device to Philips IntelliVue Clinical
Information Portfolio Critical Care (ICIP-CC) patient data management
system. Devices can be Philips devices or non-Philips devices including
patient monitors, ventilators, urimeters, balloon pumps, anesthesia
machines, and IV pumps.
The first European implementation of Capsule's DataCaptor 5.0 device
connectivity solution with Philips ICIP-CC system is at Hospital Sant Joan
de Deu in Barcelona, Spain. The hospital has connected devices including
Maquet Servo ventilators, the Alaris Gateway, and Draeger Evita ventilators
into Philips ICIP-CC in the ICU.
"Capsule is a very important international partner for Philips because it
offers a proven, open architecture connectivity solution that provides
integration between the many different medical devices our customers have
into our ICIP-CC clinical information system," said Thomas Kerker, market
development manager for Philips Healthcare. "Our customers can take
advantage of the large library of medical devices Capsule can connect to
and have the benefit of their guaranteed device driver updates.
Furthermore, Capsule's solution will allow our customers to have the
flexibility and scalability they need to add and change devices, as
"We are very satisfied to go live with DataCaptor and the Philips ICIP-CC
clinical information system," said Siscu Torrents, Chief of the IT
department, Hospital Sant Joan de Deu, Barcelona.
"Having device connectivity to ICIP-CC allows our clinicians to spend more
time one on one with critically ill patients instead of being tasked with
manually charting and transcribing data from all of the devices into our
clinical information system. We are focused on providing the best care for
our patients, and having this whole process automated reassures us that the
patient information is residing with complete accuracy in ICIP-CC."
"Philips is clearly a pioneer in clinical information systems, and we are
proud to work with them to expand our reach to leading international
hospitals and health organizations, such as Hospital Sant Joan de Deu,"
said Ken Purcell, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for EMEA of Capsule
Technologie. "Device connectivity has become a major priority for
hospitals around the world as they realize the tangible benefits of getting
this critical data from the bedside devices directly into their patient
information systems to improve patient care and clinician efficiency.
We're very excited to begin rolling out more implementations of DataCaptor
5.0 device connectivity solution and Philips ICIP-CC in hospitals worldwide
over the next several months."
In addition to the implementation at Hospital Sant Joan de Deu, Capsule and
Philips plan additional implementations at hospitals and healthcare
institutions in France, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada and the
United States in the coming months.
About Capsule's Connectivity Solution
Capsule's Open Architecture Connectivity Solution, featuring
DataCaptor™, delivers the largest device interface library available
with over 400 different types of medical devices supported, such as patient
monitors, ventilators, infusion pumps, and anesthesia machines. The
solution automatically converts the medical device data to HL7 or XML
format and integrates it with any Electronic Medical Record (EMR), Clinical
Information System (CIS), or Alarm and Event Management system improving
clinical documentation, enhancing workflow and saving thousands of nursing

So cute! I was thinking of something similar but yours is much cuter!
must come up with a different design now
i'm going to get drawing i want to win a prize to give to my girlfriend, so i'm going to be re-watching all the episodes and then create my Land key chain
wish me luck even tho i might lose compared to most of the other entries so far...
i love this anime
so i'll try to make it and it would be so cute :p
stage is set, the curtain rises , we're ready to begin
Here is my entry, I can't draw well so I decided to do a pixel art version, its simple.
hmmm i guess i can give ti a whirl, lets see what happens ^_^
Not really here for the social network but the anime network ^_^
I think I am going to give it a try! But my drawing sucks! You could say I never draw >.<
Fee Fi Foe Fum
Second Attempt (and entry)
I based both this entry as well as the previous attempt off of episode 5. I was hoping to express with the natural colors the "realness" that Yamato & Mei bring to each other. The gems on the left are to show the growth as both individuals and together as a couple because of their love. The right pearls show that they are still young and have much to grow still, but show promise they will blossom even further.
Key Alone:
I think I had a little too much fun with this..lol..glad i finished in time...was scared there for a little while.
I kept the first attempt below (but above is my entry):
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
This is my entry (unless I can produce something better within the time limit..my first time using these materials)
I based this off mostly episodes 5 expressing the love from episode 5 using the pinks and whites to show the purity of Mei's and Yamato's love. The gold to show how important and rare and true love is, the pink spiraling down shows the twist and turns that love brings you with it, and the main green shows the growth as hope. The start of something new.
You know something's epic when as soon as u finish it, u want to re-watch it
This is bologna, is this really your key? how come one picture? how come there is no paragraph tying the key in with the anime? How come i can google image 'steampunk keys' and keys like that show up.
If this really is your key I apologize for the accusation that it was not made by you.
If in fact it is not your key I suggest you take that posting down, it's not fair to those of us who actually put tangible work into this contest.
It is not his key.
It was made by this user:
If there is anything I don't tolerate at all, it is when people try to steal credit for others hard work in a competition or something similar.
I agree! Even though they aren't worth anything, the badges were really special and collectible. I want more badge contests!
I think it is based on episode 4. The flames I draw horrible:( it represent pain or hurt or thorn cause Mei got hurt when Megu-tan try(?) to break her or their relationship with Yamato. FYI: the hand that I draw with the thumb actully got hurt can't really draw:( >.< And I think it represent all cause I use the star as tear. The bar(?) that conect 2 hearts. The string by the star mean you could take the blue star out. 20 cause the magic key from Say "I Love You". Dimand. represent sharp,hurt, or pain too. Little circles represent friends/friendship,family,bond, and or supported people. My 1st time doing this >.< The marks are there cause I erased and draw to hard and edit it. Oh! I thought puting/drawing a yellow color ribbon on the bottom of the big heart or bar(?) if I put question mark it means I don't know what it is called
My keychain is based off Episode One since i think it's the biggest turning point for those two. It's a tie to the entire episode. The metal wraps around the heart represents a first-aid wrap when she kicked Yamato. [OUCH!] But also showing how it's the major kick off when she begins to unwrap her heart. Embedded with a blue heart gem because she starts off seeming as if she's a cold heart person...but her vulnerable and tender side shows when Yamato comes to rescue her at night. Embedding it with a pink star gem representing her warmer side and her first kiss in a starry night
Here's mine:
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
heh... is it obvious i sorta lost the will to draw half way?
ok so:
My chain was inspired by episode 3, I believe. Believe it or not, mine doesn't actually center around Yamato/Mei. My key chain is about Aiko. She is tied for my favorite character in this series because she's like a human girl in every single way possible and it's possible to feel a connection. Anyways, so how does my key chain show the plot? My key chain is made of two shards of mirror and a key. The first mirror is clouded and dark showing Aiko in her past obsessing over looking perfect to get people to like her. The second mirror, however, is clear showing that she got over trying to look perfect; but instead, natural. And the key well... it's just there. I guess it's a key of love that she found.
hope it's good...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what
These keys represent Yamato and Meis relationship among all the episodes so far,i made each key to suit each character Meis key is more basic and i think it suits her more being a cats paw with a love heart in(more so reminded me of the conversations she has with her cat at the end of each episode and of course the cat Yamato and Mei look after)
Yamato's key inst really related to much but i think it is more his style and it would suit him.
I did the wings on each key because as a couple Yamato and Mei are still just learning and they are doing it together and discovering more about them selves and each other and they cant do that by them self (such as you cant fly with one wing corny i know :P)
also as a set they flags of each key can fit into one another......
that is all

Concord police search for man in theft of restaurant employee's property
August 01. 2013 10:50AM
CONCORD – Police are asking for the public's help identifying a man who was in an employees-only section of D'Angelo sandwich shop last month when an employee's bag containing electronics went missing.
The theft was discovered about 5:30 p.m. July 9 at the 121 S. Main St. restaurant.
An employee left the restaurant for about an hour between 3 and 4 p.m., leaving behind a bag containing her laptop computer, digital camera and cellphone in an employee-only area in the rear of the restaurant.
The laptop is a 17.1-inch blue HP computer; the cellphone is a Verizon Samsung "slider;" and the camera is a silver Olympus 12-megapixel digital camera.
Police reviewed store surveillance video which at 3:05 p.m. recorded a white man, about 40 years old, wearing a Boston Red Sox baseball hat, dark-colored shirt, cargo shorts, and flip-flop sandals, entering the restaurant through a rear door.
He appeared to check the area to see if anyone saw him and then was recorded walking around in the employee-only area before walking off camera. At some point, he walked out of the view of the camera and is not seen again.
The video was shown to both store employees and managers, but none of them recognized the man. Police identified the man as a "person of interest" because he was in the area at the time of the alleged theft.
Anyone who has information relative to any criminal incident is asked to call Concord Regional Crimeline at 226-3100, or submit information online to the website at www.concordregionalcrimeline.com, or text TIP234 and a message to CRIMES (274637).
Crimeline awards cash to anyone whose information leads to the arrest and/or indictment of criminals. All tips remain anonymous.

Crackers sets sail to help tribe
IN AN effort to provide an isolated Papua New Guinea tribe with basic supplies, former Lismore resident Craig "Crackers" Hand will have to navigate danger in a 15-foot boat.
This week, Crackers will sail from Darwin to Papua New Guinea to provide the secluded Sibidiri tribe with 200kg of medical supplies, educational materials and construction tools.
"I'm expecting to run into problems on this trip because I'm going into waters I've never been in, but they're just challenges I'll have to work through myself," he said.
It will be Crackers' third trip to the region and he will be alone for the best part of six to eight months.
However, a "Cracker tracker" device, created by mapping company Esri Australia, will monitor his journey and allow him to upload content to the internet.
"Every four hours a signal is sent to the server to show everyone where I am," Crackers explained.
"When I'm within range of a Telstra tower I'll be able to upload pictures, youtube clips and diary entries.
"The whole idea is people will be drawn to the project; it will raise awareness and at the end of the day, it will help this tribe."
In 2008, Crackers set a record by sailing the smallest boat from Australia to another country, which was Papua New Guinea. When he arrived there, he stumbled across the secluded Sibidiri tribe.
"I came across this tribe in PNG and they had nothing; no electricity, no roads, no anything," he said.
"The tribal king's brother had to paddle for two days to get his son, who had a badly broken arm, to medical care."
When Crackers returned, he founded Friends of Papua New Guinea, a non-profit organisation which aims to develop basic health care and educational facilities in remote parts of the country.
He said isolated citizens of Papua New Guinea endured particularly bad living conditions because there was little to no government support.
"The only government person I've ever seen in Papua New Guinea is a customs person," he said.
"There is no real government over there."
In past months, media and people from around the world have been fascinated by Crackers' projects and he has received many donations. He hoped the interest would increase and draw more attention to disadvantaged Papua New Guineans.

The Fleshlight Flight's opening has an ergonomic whirlpool effect, meaning the entrance sucks you in, turbine-like, with complete ease.

The Kings arrived at Dodger Stadium on Friday afternoon. They found an ice rink surrounded by a stage for the national anthem singer, a stage for the rock band KISS, a beach volleyball court and a roller rink amid the normal trappings of the iconic ballpark.
With all the pregame build-up in the days and weeks leading up to the first outdoor game in NHL history in California, it was easy to forget this was a business trip for the Kings. To be sure, the novelty of the game was to be celebrated as they took their first turns around the ice.
There also will be an important two points in the standings up for grabs when the third-place Kings play host to the NHL-leading Ducks tonight. The Kings are 17 points behind the Ducks after Thursday's 2-1 loss at the Honda Center, their fourth in a row and 11th in 15 games.
All the hype and glory of the occasion won't mean a thing if the Kings (29-17-6) can't play a better game than Thursday against the Ducks (38-10-5). Or than during a string of defeats to the Columbus Blue Jackets, Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings.
"Just a little bit better in almost every area," defenseman Robyn Regehr said when asked what has to change. "When you're struggling to win games, which we are right now, you almost have to play, I'm not going to say you have to play a perfect game, but you have to strive to play a perfect game."
Added center Anze Kopitar: "It's strictly about hockey. We've got to focus on that. It's always important to get the two points, whether it's on the road or at home, inside or outside. You always want to get the two points. I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun and a great experience.
"At the end of the day, we'd like to get the two points."
The Kings had their moments against the Ducks, but they scored only one goal to continue a pattern of offensive inefficiency. The Kings have scored more than two goals only four times in a game over their last 15 contests. They have been shut out twice and held to one goal for times.
Meanwhile, the Ducks go into the game with victories in 20 of their last 23 games, building a comfortable lead over the San Jose Sharks and the Kings in the Pacific as they chase their first President's Trophy as the league's top team in the overall standings.
The Ducks literally took a moment to embrace the uniqueness of playing outdoors in Los Angeles in January, posing for a team photo before their hour-long practice, which followed the Kings' workout. A horde of reporters watched both teams from beyond the glass.
"It's still pretty amazing they were able to do it," Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller said of playing outdoors. "It's a great venue. Sometimes I have to pinch myself that it's actually happening. It's definitely a once-in-a-lifetime thing. If you play in Anaheim, it's not the first thing you think about."
The Ducks also stressed the importance of defeating their rivals.
"I think the reason teams win these outdoor games is that guys are able to buckle down and realize it's a league game, a divisional game," Ducks forward Nick Bonino said. "We'll have our fun during the day. We'll have our fun in warmups.
"When the puck drops, the teams will feel each other out. Then it'll be right back to an L.A.-Anaheim game."

RYA Discount
A massive 45% discount for RYA test centres
Raymarine's new i70 instrument is the perfect companion for sailing, cruising and fishing
New p70 and p70R autopilot control heads complete the look
Raymarine announces the launch of its new i70 instrument and p70 and p70R autopilot control heads; stylish new-look controls and displays packed full of powerful features, stunning graphics and a highly intuitive user interface herald the Raymarine next generation. These products were launched globally at the 2011 Sydney Boat Show, and will be on display in the UK for the first time during the 2011 Southampton Boat Show.
Boasting a 4" over-sized LCD display, the i70 instrument displays maxi 43mm digits in full screen mode. The superior 160˚ horizontal and vertical viewing angles ensure the screen display can be seen clearly from all angles - even sideways on, and is further enhanced by the anti-reflective coating for improved visibility in bright sunlight. Raymarine i70's advanced LED backlighting offers lower power consumption; delivering vibrant colour and contrast whilst using up to 35% less power than other colour instruments.
In another 'world first' for Raymarine, the i70 instrument has the ability to act as an AIS repeater, showing the 25 closest AIS transmitting vessels and enabling vessel information to be obtained from individually selected targets. This new 'AIS at-a-glance' display is an invaluable extra visual reference and adds to situational awareness for all on board.
From traditional analogue dials to engine information and tank levels, i70 has the graphic capabilities to show it all; supported data views include Wind, Speed, Depth, Tridata, Engine (NMEA2000), Environmental (NMEA2000), Fuel (NMEA2000) and navigation.
Sharing the i70's superior display features but in a 3.5" screen format, the equally good-looking autopilot control heads are available in 2 versions; p70 with -/+ 1˚ and -/+ 10˚ push-button controls designed primarily for sailing vessels, and p70R with a combination of push-button and rotary controls for powered craft. Raymarine p70 and p70R autopilot control heads are easily customisable, able to display pilot information in a number of different formats to suit the user.
Raymarine p70 and p70R both support Auto, Standby, Pattern, Track and Wind Vane autopilot modes with the p70R having additional Power Steer and Jog Steer modes. Fishermen will find the wide range of fishing patterns especially useful, freeing them up to concentrate on their surroundings and the all important fish. Able to support multiple data sources, p70 and p70R autopilot heads are compatible with Raymarine SPX Series pilots and Raymarine ST pilots (S1, S2 and S3 including the G variants).
Raymarine i70, p70 and p70R all have Raymarine's new LightHouse user interface on board; it's simple and quick to use and is also consistent with Raymarine's new e7 multifunction display, so once users are familiar with LightHouse they will be equally at home with all Raymarine's new products.
Available from this September, RRPs as follows:
Raymarine i70 - £440 excluding taxes part no. E22172
Raymarine p70 - £450 excluding taxes part no. E22166
Raymarine p70R - £500 excluding taxes part no. E22167

"I'm angry!" Stephen yelled and stormed out of the blocks center.
"No." Ana replied calmly as she rolled the toy fire truck back and forth on the floor.
"I want the fire truck! I'm so angry!" Stephen yelled and stomped his feet.
Ana continued rolling the truck, and Stephen glared at her.
"Stephen," I intervened, "I can tell how mad you are because your arms are crossed and you're using a loud voice. I'm proud that you used your words."
"But I want the fire truck!" Stephen yelled and tears started streaming down his face.
Today, Stephen demonstrated some tremendous progress in terms of social problem solving. At the beginning of last year when Stephen was angry, he would kick, hit, scream, and cry. He did not know how to label his own emotions, and he had trouble taking the perspective of other people. In this anecdote, Stephen is clearly able to label his own feelings, and, while his response is not ideal, it does keep everybody safe. I took this brief "teachable moment" as a time to use physical and verbal cues to discern his feelings, and reinforce all his hard work.
From there, we were able to transform Stephen's frustration into a literacy activity. I knew Stephen needed to distance himself from the fire truck and engage with different materials, so I suggested that he write Ana a note to tell her how he was feeling. Stephen got excited about this idea, and quickly sat down to write. "How do you spell Ana?" he asked. I showed him her name tag, and he copied it correctly. We then thought about what he wanted to tell her, and he decided on, "Let me play with that all by myself." We counted the words in his sentence and I wrote one line on his paper to represent each word. Then Stephen began sounding out the message. He ended up with, "L M P W d o b msAf," -- essentially wroting the beginning sound for each word in his message, plus some middle and ending sounds in "myself." He signed his name at the bottom, and we reread the message together.

Looking for a new set of motorcycle tires for your bike?Well, there's a few things you should consider when perusing motorcycle tires on MotoSport.com:
- What kind of riding will you be doing? Having a cruise with some buddies? A ride that's on and off road? A spirited ride on the back roads or a full-bore track day with the throttle pinned and the engine screaming?
- What size wheels do you have? Does your bike have modern 17" wheels or the older 18" style? Maybe you have cruiser sized wheels with a smaller, fatter rear tire and a taller, skinnier front?
- How long do you want your tires to last? Do you want a no-compromises sticky tire that'll last a summer, or do you want something that'll get some mileage and hold up to multiple seasons?
Sport-Focused motorcycle tires
Let's start off with what most of you are here for: A nice, sticky tire that'll last through a good season of hard riding and maybe a couple track days. Fortunately for you, there's myriad tires that fit the description.
The heavyweights in the tire category are Pirelli motorcycle tires, Dunlop motorcycle tires, Bridgestone motorcycle tires and Michelin motorcycle tires. They all develop their tires through race series like MotoGP and WorldSBK, ranging from something that'll last a couple years to a set that'll last a couple months but will take just about any corner you can throw it's way. Most of their supersport tires are geared for the fat 17" wheels that adorn most modern sport bikes and generally hover between $200-$300 for a set. If you're looking at Pirelli, check out the Pirelli Diablo tires. Dunlop has a huge following devoted to their Dunlop Sportmax Q2, Bridgestone is THE tire in MotoGP with their unstoppable Bridestone BattlAx series and Michelin has their astonishing Michelin Pilot Power line. Also worth a look is the Metzeler Sportec line, of which the M5 Interact actually has a lean-angle indicator to impress your friends with how far you can lean your bike over in the corners. Read the reviews, ask around and make your choice.
Bridging the gap between sport & touring
So, what if you want a motorcycle tire that'll actually last through the summer and possibly even see some rain?
Choices Like the Avon Storm 2 Ultra, the Bridgestone BattlAx BT023 or the Michelin Pilot Activ will fit the bill perfectly. These are long distance tires that bridge the gap between sport and touring. You can get some serious miles out of them and still hit the twisties with confidence. These tires will do both jobs exceedingly well. Additionally, Shinko tires may be your ticket. Priced low and manufactured with high quality standards, they are a great deal.
All these tires come in a wide range of sizes, including the 18 inch wheel size of older bikes.
Adventuring & off-road motorcycle tires
Are you a dual sport rider? The Avon Distanzia or Michelin Anakee 2 tire is just what you are looking for. Built for gripping the road, but with a chunky tread block design to glide over fire roads, charge trails and disperse standing water, they are built to take anything you can throw at them with ease.
Depending on your ratio of road to dirt, look at the tread pattern. Larger tread blocks with more space in between them is better for off-road, easily shedding mud and gripping harder in dirt and gravel but will not last as long on the road. A more street-looking design will still do well off-road, but is mainly geared for well-graded fire roads or the occasional technical dirt track, but will last much longer if it is mostly touring duties you are looking for.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski and defenders Steven Beitashour and Ramiro Corrales will face European Champion Chelsea in the 2012 MLS AT&T All-Star Game on July 25 at PPL Park (5:30 p.m. PT / ESPN2, TeleFutura) after the trio were named to the gameday roster by coach Ben Olsen on Sunday.
San Jose and Sporting Kansas City were the lone teams to place three on the squad. The last time the Earthquakes had three or more players selected to the MLS All-Star game was in 2004 when Jeff Agoos, Brian Ching, Landon Donovan, Richard Mulrooney and Pat Onstad made the list.
The All-Star nod is Wondolowski's second after he suited up against Manchester United in last year's event. After his hat trick against Real Salt Lake on Saturday, Wondolowski leads the Budweiser Golden Boot race with 17 goals through San Jose's first 20 games, six better than the next-closest pursuer. Wondolowski also leads MLS in game-winning goals with eight, one away from tying the league record for a single season.
For his efforts, Wondolowski won MLS Player of the Month awards in April and June, becoming one of four players in league history to earn the recognition twice in the same season. He also received a call-up to U.S. Men's National Team duty from May 26 to June 12, earning his eighth cap in the process.
Beitashour's All-Star selection is the first in his three-year MLS career. The 25-year-old right back is tied for fourth in MLS with six assists, the most by any other defender. His service has generated two game winners for San Jose in 2012. He has also been a key component of a San Jose defense that has kept five clean sheets this season and helped the club to a league-best 12-4-4 record. Beitashour is one of two players on the squad who has appeared in each of the Earthquakes' 20 games to date.
Corrales will make his first career All-Star appearance. The 14-year MLS veteran was one of two picks made by league commissioner Don Garber on Sunday. He is the last remaining player to suit up in the league's inaugural 1996 season. Corrales is all over San Jose's career record books, leading the way in games played (330), games started (212) and minutes played (18,839). He is also one of just 20 players in MLS history to appear in 200 matches for the same club. So far in 2012, Corrales has five assists in 14 games, third-most on the Earthquakes.
2012 MLS All-Star Gameday Roster
Goalkeepers (2): Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA), Jimmy Nielsen (Sporting Kansas City)
Defenders (6): Steven Beitashour (San Jose Earthquakes), Aurélien Collin (Sporting Kansas City), Ramiro Corrales (San Jose Earthquakes), Jay DeMerit (Vancouver Whitecaps FC), Heath Pearce (New York Red Bulls), Carlos Valdes (Philadelphia Union)
Midfielders (6): Osvaldo Alonso (Seattle Sounders FC), David Beckham (LA Galaxy), Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Dwayne De Rosario (D.C. United), Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)
Forwards (4): Thierry Henry (New York Red Bulls), Eddie Johnson (Seattle Sounders FC), Chris Pontius (D.C. United), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)

And Now Your Friday Downer: No 'Golden Girls' Made It To Estelle Getty's Funeral
Uh-oh—don't let that crying kid on YouTube see this, lest we prepare for a tsunami of waterworks that could very well short-out the entire internet: None of the surviving Golden Girls showed up to Estelle Getty's funeral. Not even her own daughter. Inside Edition tracked down two of the three to find out where they were:
Bea Arthur, who played Estelle Getty's daughter on the show, tells INSIDE EDITION she's been grieving for years over Getty's long decline due to dementia, and could not deal with the emotion of a funeral.
Arthur: "She's been out of it so many years, not recognizing anyone. It's a Godsend. She's at peace."
Rue McClanahan, Getty's former Golden Girls co-star who is living in New York, tells INSIDE EDITION that she couldn't attend the funeral because she recently had surgery.
McClanahan: "I'd like them to know that I didn't {attend the funeral} because I can't fly right now with knee surgery. I don't know why Betty and Bea didn't go, maybe because they, too, have said their goodbyes to her when she was alive."
For those keeping track, that leaves the whereabouts of dotty Rose Nylund—aka Bette White—unaccounted for, but once she's gotten a hold of, we're certain she'll have a delightful story about an ancient Viking funeral custom carried over into modern St. Olaf culture that requires you to skip your fellow warrior's services in favor of a cat-neutering rally in the Valley.

Windows Mobile 6 Devices Bark?
Subject description: Network Mobility is Possible using voice phones, pda's
Good Morning, Campers!
A friend walked into the shop last week, hating on Linux as usual. In his hand he had an HP IPAQ 500 Voice Messenger, and said with a sly grin that he would gladly buy a linux machine if he could get internet through his handheld just like he easily does in Windows.
Around and around we went with ttuuxxx's fire-hydrant, Wnop, Seamonkey 301, Lighthouse... There is no joy in Mudville.
Scrounging around the net, I found that Mandriva has addressed this with it's Spring 2008 version which gives the connection option under networking setup. So it is possible under Linux.
So are we going to sit idly and just TAKE this? It even offers compiz-fusion!!!
Please help me sell this system to this infidel by getting puppy to bark WM 5-6. I believe in you!

look promising. I'm not sure if the current version supports USB ICS, but apparently the latest svn does.
Tracing the dependences by hand sugests that dbus is needed. Now, I know that puppy 1,2&3 series lack dbus, but IIRC it's been added to the latest Dingo releases, so I suggest that is the place to start.
It would also seem that once of the dependencies depends on HAL, which, to my knowledge, no puppy has. A search of the dev blog returns nothing constructive. A quick look over the dependecies isn't too daunting though.
You will need the latest patched kernel (Does Barry still patch the kernel?), including config.
Not having such a device I'm afraid there isn't a huge amount I can do to help, but I wish you luck, and keep us informed.

There are many and varied connectivity options available with a smartphone such as the iPAQ 500.
Your query does not make it clear what form of connectivity your friend is seeking.
Regarding accessing the internet, this would fall into 2 categories:
1. Using the iPAQ's GPRS/Edge wireless internet connection as an internet gateway for a Puppy-powered computer.
Typically, this would involve a USB connection between the iPAQ and a Puppy computer.
But I'm guessing your friend wants the other main possibility:
2. Using a Puppy-powered computer as an internet gateway for the iPAQ.
The connection between iPAQ and Puppy could be via:
A. wifi
B. bluetooth
C. USB. The USB option would be just plain silly, since you would be physically tethered to the Puppy computer, and then it would make no sense to use the iPAQ's tiny interface.
All of the connectivity options I have mentioned are possible right now with Puppy. The only components not already contained in Puppy are the bluetooth libraries and utilities. Get them as dotpets here
The Mandriva link you supplied is about synchronisation, which is a separate issue to internet connectivity.
For synchronisation you first need an application in Puppy which understands the Personal Information Management (PIM) data of your iPAQ.
In Linux distros with Gnome this would probably be Evolution. In Linux distros with KDE this would probably be Kontact/KOrganiser.
These will not work in Puppy. The best PIM application for Puppy, in my opinion, is JPilot -
There are no reports on the forum of anyone successfully synchronising WindowsMobile data with JPilot, but it's possible in theory with the addition of the SynCE libraries. Forum member John Doe provided a JPilot/SynCE package here -
Then the actual connection would, as before, be either wifi, bluetooth or USB.

Well, we want to get internet from the phone to the puppified computer. There is some usb stuff going on, which I do not at all understand. A greatly simplified howto would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your continued interest and support in a great project.

right now, as we speak, I'm working on moding the connectionwizard to do just this.
i've got a UT Starcom 6700 (verizon) with WM6 and i can get pupdial to recognize the modem when i set the phone up properly.
here is a screenshot. i'll post up a pet package soon.

go here:
You should be able to get your phone recognized by Pupdial with just a couple clicks of a fresh boot.
Whether or not you can connect after that....that's a different story.

Post subject: Maybe this wvdial.conf will help?
Subject description: (for XV6700 on Verizon CDMA)
[Dialer Defaults]
Stupid Mode = on
Idle Seconds = 0
Carrier Check = no
Init1 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Phone = #777
Username = <cellnumber>@vzw3g.com
Password = vzw
I usually have to watch /var/log/messages to see which ttyUSB[0-9] gets settled upon.
This sort of works on Ubuntu 8.04 once I get the "standard" Gnome Network Manager and WM6 to stop trying to make an NDIS type connection (for PIM syncing I think) - not sure exactly how, but after killing several pppd processes one after another it seems to get settled down. This requires wmodem.exe running on the WM6 side. I have a heavily "cooked" ROM from ppcgeeks.com that includes that and a bunch of other networking goodies (some of which may be causing the extraneous NDIS connections).
I think the ipaq modprobe helps, but would not swear to that. I have thrown too many differing solutions at this, and not sure which help, and which get in the way.
I tried to make a clean break from the Ubuntu confusion by using Puppy 4 a few times on another PC with the 6700, but it was so different from wvdial, and did not seem to find /dev/ttyUSBx, so I was not sure how to proceed. I don't remember what the package was, but seems like there was more than one choice - pupdial does not ring any bells though.
John Doe, did your updates make it into the final 4.0 release? Should I look for pupdial on the menus? Maybe I can take another shot at it with your stuff if so.

Sorry, no stuff this time around.
The update I was planning never made it past the forward looking statement phase.
Had a few PMs with one forum member on the matter and then i just dropped off the radar.
I'd love to push us that far but finally ran into "information overload".
Seem to recall getting to the point where I was convinced that the problem was the difference in the way the 2.4 kernel vs the 2.6 kernel assigned device nodes. Then warmer weather arrived and I just started wandering...

It took me a while to get my WM6's Internet Sharing to work with Puppy 4.0 Dingo via USB, but it's working now and thought I'd write up my experience. Items marked with * have an sfs or pet file that I can share (someone tell me the appropriate locations to upload these???).
The key is to 1) load a working version of rndis-host module, then 2) use the Network Wizard to check for the rndisX adapter and 3) configure with static ip or DHCP.
Problem was, the default version rndis-host module does not seem to facilitate communication with the WM6 device. So, I had to compile a known working version of rndis-host, cdc-ether and usbnet modules. This can be found online and was packaged as "usb-rndis-lite" from synce sourceforge website.
What I did (LONG WAY, see EASY WAY at bottom!):
1. Compile the USB-RNDIS-LITE module:
a. locate and download devx_400.sfs*, then add to boot-up load list
b. locate, download and extract matching kernel source (in my case, I made it into an sfs called puppylinux-22.214.171.124-kernel-src.sfs, which I also added to boot-up load list *)
c. created symlink pointing /lib/modules/18.104.22.168/build to the location of the extracted kernel source files
d. restarted Puppy...to allow the sfs files to load
e. locate, download, compile and install svn (subversion) client (apr-1.3.3-i486.pet, apr-util-1.3.4-i486.pet, svn-1.5.2+with-ssl_noAPR+noAPRutils+upgradedNeon-0.28.3-i486.pet *)
f. use svn client to check-out the source for usb-rndis-lite with this command:
svn co https://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/usb-rndis-lite
2. run the clean.sh script provided with usb-rndis-lite to remove the original module files and then compile and install usb-rndis-lite * (make, make install)
3. load the new rndis-host module via:
modprobe rndis-host
4. use Network Wizard to configure the new rndis adapter
* PM me if you want these interim files
Since I went through the trouble of compiling and making the sfs and pet files, I thought I'd share a simpler procedure (haven't tested it yet, though).
EASY WAY (untested! use at your own risk):
0) save the originals
a. backup the original cdc_ether.ko, usbnet.ko and rndis_host.ko
b. unload the original modules via:
rmmod rndis_host
rmmod cdc_ether
rmmod usbnet
1) load a working version of rndis-host module
a. simply install the pet file I made: usb-rndis-lite_rev3571-i486.pet (pre and post scripts available, too)*
b. load the module in current session:
depmod -ae
modprobe rndis-host
2) start Internet Sharing on the WM6 and connect USB tether to Puppy
3) use the Network Wizard to check for the new rndisN adapter
4) configure with static ip or DHCP
5) surf the web!
6) optionaly, use the Boot Manager to mark the rndis-host module for startup and/or create auto-configuration script for the rndisN adapter
Hope this helps!
My specs:
HTC XDA IIs (aka Siemens SX66, HTC "Blue Angel") running Windows Mobile 6
SX66-USB adapter (aka dongle, tether)
Puppy Linux 4.00 Kernel 184.108.40.206 on i486
Original version of rndis_host.ko, cdc_ether.ko and usbnet.ko kernel modules (supplied with Puppy 4.00 Kernel 188.8.131.52). Save for back-out purposes.
The original location for these *.ko files is /lib/modules/18.104.22.168/kernel/drivers/usb/net.
754 Time(s)
New version of rndis_host.ko, cdc_ether.ko and usbnet.ko modules.
Enables tethering w/ WM6 pda-phone (& Puppy 4.00 Dingo). WARNING: Has no dependency checks or cleanups!
Installs the new *.ko files at /lib/modules/220.127.116.11/extra.

Post subject: Compiling rndis_host for HTC Diamond
Help! I cannot connect Puppy 4 to my HTC Diamond ICS.... Eventually found the following URL.....
.... Only to have my hopes dashed again as I seem to be having all sorts of problems when trying to compile (despite installing all the required components).
Can anyone help by posting a .pet for this? (See steps below)
<<Step 1 - Install Pre-requisites
open a terminal (use same terminal in next steps)
$ sudo apt-get install subversion
Step 2 - Get the Source
$ svn co http://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/usb-rndis-lite
cd usb-rndis-lite/
Step 3 - Modify the source (Diamond only)
$ gedit rndis_host.c
on line 524, find this bit
if (tmp <>hard_mtu) {
"dev can't take %u byte packets (max %u)\n",
dev->hard_mtu, tmp);
goto fail;
change it to this
if (tmp <>hard_mtu) {
"dev can't take %u byte packets (max %u)\n",
dev->hard_mtu, tmp);
retval = -EINVAL;
/* goto fail;*/
save the file
Step 4 - Compile and make and install
$ make
$ sudo ./clean.sh
$ sudo make install
Step 5 - Start the Internet Connection Sharing
On OLD Tytn II's open Comm Manager on your phone and click on the Internet Sharing Now make sure USB is selected and choose connect
On Diamonds it's a seperate program called Internet Connection Sharing
Step 6 - Plug in the Phone (USB)
Plug the phone in, once the Phone has a data connection the Internet connection sharing will say connecting, then connected.
If this takes a while the dhcp may timeout and you will have to run the following command.
$ sudo dhclient
You should then see that you have an ip on the rndis device>>

Buy a Stroller…Plant a Tree
November 25th, 2009
Our blog was not meant to serve as a glaring advertisment for our store, www.PamperedTot.com
Being environmentally conscious, both as people and as a business, Audrey and I implemented a plan aimed at preserving the environment in the only way we knew how…planting trees. We started off by investing is renewable energy projects to offset the pollution we caused by running our business operations and to offest the fuel used to deliver our packages to our thousands of customers around the world. Fearing that this was not enough, we decided to go one step further and plant a tree for every stroller sold in our store
With the help of our partners at www.CarbonFund.orgwww.PamperedTot.com click here
The program has been a huge success so far, but it can always be much better. We are trying to spread the word and save this planet one stroller at a time!Tweet This Post

Let's go down memory lane and project PS4 worldwide lifetime units and games sales based on historic numbers. Factors like strong 3rd party & indie support, common platform architecture, competitors waning popularity, focus on games and 4K media support might drive PS4 units and games sales to near PS2 heights.
PS4 is going to sale like crazy i know one PS4 price is 399.99 and the 2nd is 449.99 i know people at sony who gave me price point cant wait till it comes out
looks like they pretty much pulled that prediction out of their a$$.
PS4 and next gen xbox will struggle at firt just like the wii-u did. People just don't have the disposable income to spend on these things anymore......Vita will continue to struggle too becasue the market has changed. Ipad and smart phones are killing off the vita.
Next year is the year of the PS3 and the PS4. Just like the last 5 years.
PS4, PS3, Xbox 720, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC will all be on the market at the same time.
I don't expect crazy sales of any of the next-gen consoles (including the Wii U) for at least a year after they launch.

I would second Millenium. I rented/kited out of there. Nice place and good overall location for everything. Of course it's also packed with beginners as I mentioned but if you want to avoid that go down wind a 1/4 mile.
Waves are out a bit but not far at all. It's just a small break where there's a reef I suppose it's maybe 400 yards or so.
Not much wave action really but enough to at least entertain. The trouble is there's quite a bit of chop on the inside and no reason at all to go further than the break.
If you go don't miss hitting the flat water spot. Can't remember the name. The restaurant there has the most amazing fish.

Research in Comparative Biology and Genomics use several bioinformatics software applications from the public-domain and home-grown applications.
- POY (Phylogenetic Analysis of DNA and other Data using Dynamic Homology) -estimates phylogenies and alignments of using maximum parsimony or maximum likelihood optimality criteria.
- MAlign - is a multiple alignment procedures that operates on close parallels to those used to search for minimum length cladograms.
- RaxML - is a program for sequential and parallel Maximum Likelihood based inference of large phylogenetic trees. RAxML offers two ways to exploit parallelism: fine-grained parallelism that can be exploited on shared memory machines or multi-core architectures and coarse-grained parallelism that can be exploited on Linux clusters.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A judge has authorized Chilean police to hold 16 suspects in jail while they investigate an alleged child prostitution ring.
Police said the gang was led by four women who forced girls between ages 15 and 17 to prostitute themselves.
Judge Santiago Varas ruled Tuesday night that the four women and 12 alleged clients could be held for 90 days during an investigation.
Among the purported clients detained were Guido Vallejos, 83, head of the Chilean children's magazine Barrabases, and Jaime Roman, 69, a well-known former musical producer for state TV.
Defense lawyers said their clients didn't know the prostitutes were minors and therefore never realized they were committing a crime.
President Sebastian Pinera announced measures this year to combat child abuse, responding to a popular outcry over a 22 percent increase in reports of such crimes in Chile, which is one of Latin America's most socially conservative countries.
The government also banned convicted pedophiles from working near children under a new law requiring people convicted of sexually abusing minors or possessing child pornography to be registered in a database.
Several teachers have been accused in recent months of sexually molesting children at day care centers and schools in affluent Santiago neighborhoods.

Smartwatches are the focus of attention of all the manufacturing companies and there is a very tight competition among them to win the race in this field. They are mostly android based and packed with many features to come as close to smartphones as possible. In the market we have Samsung products with the name Galaxy Gear S, LG's smartwatch "G Watch R" and Motorola's Moto 360 and Apple's "iWatch". They all claim to be the best and containing maximum features and the most versatile piece of equipment on your wrist. Here we are talking about another smart watch that is Zen Watch by Asus which is the latest Android based smart wear competing others in the market. It is not very costly and has the price of just $199 but with in this range is considered to be the best available.
Asus is very careful and meticulous about shaping their products and they measure up to all standards of aesthetics. Asus Zen Watch has a design of state of the art craftsmanship and gives premium look to the consumers who come to compare and purchase one. Zen Watch is so far the most beautiful looking and attractive in design among all the Android wear smartwatches presently available in the market.
This is made of a premium quality material with solid foundation and perfect construction. Recently there has been a focus on round shape smartwatches like Moto 360 and LG G Watch R discarding square and rectangular shapes .Asus has again adopted square shape but with beautiful balance and dimensions in attractive rose gold color band with the steel casing foundation. Apparently the watch casing looks flat but it has curvature to fit nicely on the wrist.
The design is so plain and neat that gives a perfect look without buttons or anything bulging out to break the harmony of smoothness of the watch or the surface area of device. It has some object able features like pin connections, screws, and single power button of course require for charging purposes. It does not have the wireless charging facility like moto360 and it would have been much better and to the credit of Zen Watch if it had the remote charging system.
Now talking about the strap it is really made of good quality stitched leather material which is a change from others. However it has a clasp which is bulging put and may get stuck with clothing and may cause some irritation but good thing is its size that is standard 22 mm that can be replaced with any other strap of their own choice and have variety. Zen Watch is IP55 rated and is water resistant therefore you may not worry about it when put in the rain or minor splashes. It does not mean that you use it goes diving under water while wearing it.
Smartwatches give us an impression that they would be highly technical looking with too many knobs and too many details on the dial. It is not so with Zen Watch which is elegant looking without any buttons and without too many unnecessary details. Previously Moto 360 have been the center of attention of the consumers for its round shape but Zen Watch has proved to be more popular with its square design and a consider to be the best Android based smartwatch. The size is so balanced that it is equally popular among men and women and perfectly in line with current fashion. It does not give odd look and something out dated and odd to wear.
Asus Zen Watch cannot claim that it has better specs than the other competing smartwatches in the market. It has 1.63-inch 320 x 320 AMOLED display already used by Samsung in Gear Live. Screen of the watch is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass type 3 but the display is curved. The display of Zen Watch is match with subtle curve of watch casing to give the proper shape to the display and to give flawless fine finishing to the smartwatch. Users can easily visualize the things because of the optimize pixel density of the screen which delivers 278 ppi to the users and give them a full ease to read notifications, messages and see the time anytime.
AMOLED screen is one of the popular display screen and has many characteristics which is packed full pf technology like the pure black color, wide viewing angles with the iridium effect which can glow in the dark and gives better visibility. In the direct sun light the visibility is poor and not easy to read and you need put a shadow with the other hand to read the message. Although its square design is liked by the consumers but LG G Watch R with its round screen is still more popular.
May be talking to anyone and using any application you will have the same pleasant experience of Android operating system and Asus Zen Watch gives you the same feel. Using Asus Zen Watch would be more different than any other Android based watch therefore from interface point of view there is no difference from others and we cannot add anything to its merits in interface. However like all other Android based devices, this is equally user friendly and easy to use with all applications in any Android based device.
However Asus has tried to make another difference by introducing Zen Watch manager app that includes a few more features. When we have this Z Watch manager we can access features like Asus ZenUI integration, Watch Unlock, Cover to Mute, Find My Phone, Find My Watch, Flashlight, Compass, and much more. Although these features are not new but it is good to have them right from the time you buy and start using it. Zen Watch can have better functionality by downloading other compatible apps, like the Asus Remote Camera app, which allows the Zen Watch to act as a remote viewfinder for user's smartphone's camera.
It is not very surprising to find the wellness application is the Asus Zen Watch; it is factory loaded with Asus Wellness and Up by Jawbone apps that provide us with data pertaining to our life style. Apparently the first look does not give us impression that it is provided with any sort of heart rate sensor incorporated. It relies on a change method to measure our pulse; it obtains the data by placing two fingers along the steel edges of the watch's frame which sends an electrical signal to measure our pulse.
Battery life depends upon the usage of the device and what all applications a user uses on the device. It has 360 mAh Li-polymer battery. Commonly users wish to have always-on screen option of Android Wear to off and would like to turn off after a specific time interval. The battery has 24 hours life in this mode which can be less if we change the mode always on screen to on. But generally the battery is sufficient for one whole day with normal usage. By the time you go to bad the battery will still have 30% power to keep the watch on. This is not a bad timing and the battery power ranges in the average category and quite satisfactory. With the normal usage it will function the whole day without interruption and causing any embarrassment.
We cannot make any judgment just by mentioning a few facts in the above paragraphs. The smartwatches also have their history of evolution; the initial models were not very beautiful or perfect in functionality but they were best of their time and had impressed the consumers. Subsequently later models were improved and better shapes with better performance came in the market. Many manufacturers ventured into this field and presented their products to the customers and a competition emerged among the smartwatches. Lately Moto 360 reached the height of popularity by replacing rectangular design with the round one. Now Asus after producing tablets entered in to making smartwatch and brought Zen Watch into the market which just shook the popularity of Moto 360 by its square designed beautifully architecture.
Since this is also Android based device therefore nothing much different exists in this device and the only competition remains in its look and quality of material used in its designs and physical structure. Each watch has its own special features and differences from each other but in depth they are all Android based and give the same experience. It is an addition here and lack there that matters. Otherwise we cannot give the verdicts in favor of anyone product. They all give the same impression and Asus Zen Watch has an added feature that is health/wellness, and the way it measures our heart rate.
Asus Zen Watch is more appealing aesthetically with its premium design, better material and leather stitched strap. The finish of the body and perfection in craftsmanship is impressive and that is what appeals to the consumers.

Testimony of Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. at U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Hearing on Hurricane Sandy
Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) today joined colleagues from the Northeast to testify at a hearing of the Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works on Hurricane Sandy's impact and the needs of local communities following the destructive storm.
The following is his testimony:
"Madam Chairman, as I've traveled my district, a number of critical issues have come to light that we must address to move towards recovery. First, there is a great need for more temporary housing alternatives, including trailers and mobile homes. Many of my constituents had their homes rendered uninhabitable by this vicious storm. Additionally, we need FEMA to provide emergency funds to the Army Corps of Engineers so they can repair breached dunes and replenish beaches to protect the damaged areas from future storms.
"I have also requested that FEMA waive the 25 percent state/local match for public assistance repair work. Many municipalities in my district, some of which are very small, do not have the resources to contribute after this devastating storm.
"It is also critical for significant funding be made available for homeowners to pursue buyouts or grants to raise their homes in areas that flood frequently.
"The Secretary of Commerce has declared a fishery disaster due to the impacts of Sandy, but that should include both commercial and recreational fishing communities. Fish processors, charter boat operators, marinas, tackle and bait stores and other fishery related businesses have lost their equipment, infrastructure and expected revenues. Congress must ensure funds are allocated for fishery disaster assistance so that these individuals and businesses can receive relief while they rebuild and eventually return to business.
"As FEMA Administrator Fugate noted when I met with him recently, small business failure rates after a major disaster can exceed 70 percent. I believe we must work to avoid this by expanding CDBG grants to assist small businesses facing damage from the storm. I would also like to see CDBG grants available for homeowners whose insurance or FEMA grants do not provide enough funding to rebuild.
"We must continue to work in a bipartisan manner to quickly pass a robust supplemental appropriations package in the lame duck session that will help our communities rebuild after this historic storm."

Confession Tuesday: The No Complaints, Be Thankful Rant Edition
Dear Reader,
It is still Tuesday and I have not forgotten to confess, it has just slid into later than earlier.
Since I have waited for afternoon, let's just get going.
To the confessional--
I confess I have been cranky with people complaining lately.
I always think about how what annoys me tells me something about myself. Mostly, in this case, how lucky I (we) have it. Right now, at this very moment, I feel thankful and maybe that's why complaints are bugging me because I'm looking at people who have a lot to feel grateful for --they have more than most.
If you are reading this, I am going to guess you are in the top 10% of the richest in the world-- or that yes, you are richer than 95% people in the world. If you're reading this from the US, you are most likely in the top 15% of the world. Yes, you. And me.
See where you fall yourself-- Go to the Global Rich List
I know it's winter, and maybe people need their Vitamin D, but I've just noticed a lot of people lately not being thankful for what the have.
Yes, it's easy to fall in this trap-- "My stupid sump pump is broken and needs replacing" (um, true story) can be replaced with "how thankful I am to *own* a home!"
"My heating bill is SO high!" can be replaced with "I am warm and indoors with a roof over my head."
"I hate my iPhone, it's so slow and my apps keep shutting off!" can be replaced with "I have an iPhone!" or "I can watch videos of kittens whenever I like!" or "I am carrying more information in my pocket than in largest library in the world and it only costs me $30 a month for the data!"
Stuff happens. Rejections happen. Life happens.
I confess I have bad days too. I throw a giant pity parties for myself and lay in bed and watch movies while I eat large amounts of Sno-Caps and Raisinettes. (Do you know how many people would LOVE to do this-- this is an awesome life), but don't post your gripes online...it makes you look a little petty and desperate for attention. And guess what, as bad as you have it, someone has it worse. Someone has just lost a loved one, or a friend, or a pet. So don't gripe about the little stuff.
I remember when I did a reading to raise money for the Tsunami Relief Fund. My entire blog post was about how cold I was for eight hours. Oh, the high school gym was so cold and I was hungry because I forgot my sandwich. Um, can you see how foolish this made me look?
That tsunami killed over 230,000 people and people were homeless and without food for months and months and probably longer.
I was in a safe high school gymnasium reading poetry and complaining about how cold I was and I didn't have a sandwich. The irony of this moment has never been lost on me... I could only see myself, I could only see how I was a little uncomfortable, I was missing the big picture. I was missing any sort of gratitude for my life.
Yes, life can feel as if it sucks. Or the day sucks. Or _______(fill in the blank) sucks... FEEL is the key word. But it doesn't suck. Our attitudes suck.
We're alive and that counts. We can change how you feel, what we think, what we do. It can be hard to think good thoughts, focus our minds, but our minds are ours to keep and to think with, we choose what images and thoughts we have.
But I guess it's a choice, focus on the good or the bad. In the end, it's still the same day, but you chose to find what you liked about it or what you disliked. We each decide how we're going to see it. We each get to make the call.
But if you're going to bellyache about something you have that I know a ton of other people would want, then shhhhhhh..... you have no idea how lucky you are. None of us do.

On the other hand...we are in the middle of the most depressing month of winter, flu season, the worst economy my generation has lived through...the news constantly blaring about nuclear wars, global economic problems - in order to stand up and cheer, sometimes you need something to cheer about. Sometimes Princess Bride is right: "Life is pain, anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something."ReplyDelete
But hey that's my Midwestern upbringing coming through :)
On the other hand, nothing bad lasts forever...spring will come eventually, with its tulips and sunshine and baby rabbits, and the economy will eventually right itself (we hope!)ReplyDelete
It's a weird time to be living through. I was reading about the Chinese year of the Snake, and what that means...interesting times, not necessarily happy times, right now.
I confess too that I have whined and moaned and felt sorry for myself when nothing really terrible has happened in my life. I will surely do it again, but right now I am thinking about other people's sorrow. A former student committed suicide last month. Another former student was hit by a car and killed. The mother of two former and one current student just passed away last evening after a heart attack. Their families...ReplyDelete
These were all people who were kind and good. We often say that about people after they die, even when it isn't true, but in this case it is true that Chris and Jon and Karna were good people who made a better place for others in the world and this will be missed.
