Is it OK to Clean your Laptop with Cleaning Wipes?
Praise be to the person who invented cleaning wipes, am I right? They're lifesavers when it comes to cleanup duty if you have mess-makers like small children, pets, or you know, hands. Hands, no matter who they belong to, spread a surprisingly icky amount of dirt and germs.
And since chances are you've got at least one tub of Clorox or Lysol wipes lying around at any given moment, it can be really tempting to whip one out when your laptop starts to get scuzzy (the culprit of which is mainly — you guessed it — your hands). Is it even safe to use a cleaning wipe on your laptop, though? Considering computers aren't exactly chump change, they're not an investment you want to ruin.
Technically, Yes...
A cursory search of the internet will yield many answers on this subject. Even tech-giant Apple advocates the use of household cleaning wipes. "In order to properly disinfect these areas," Apple's support blog says of the keyboard, mouse, and trackpad, "you should use Lysol Wipes or Clorox Kitchen Disinfecting Wipes and follow the general rules below when disinfecting your Apple product." These rules include suggestions such as turning off devices prior to cleaning, wringing out excess liquid from wipes, and avoiding any product with bleach.
...But There Are Better Methods
In order to cut through the confusion, we reached out directly to a tech expert: Michael Russell, the director of digital marketing and information technology for RatchetStraps.com. Unlike Apple, Russell does not recommend using standard household cleaning wipes like Clorox and Lysol on your laptop. Rather, he suggests a more thorough method using a different cleaning product.
"The best way to fight against germs — and how to clean a laptop or keyboard properly — would be to purchase a keyboard key remover. It's a simple pull-up of every key. Then, use a clean alcohol wipe for each key," Russell shared. (A small phillips screwdriver works just as well as a dedicated key remover, as seen in this how-to video from Snazzy Labs on YouTube.)
Does removing the keys on your laptop void the warranty? Maybe, maybe not. Many policies (like AppleCare) include language that voids the warranty if there is damage caused by "misuse." But as long as you're careful, snapping the keyboard keys on and off your laptop should leave no trace at all.
CNET bolsters Russell's suggestion, outlining a cleaning process that entails using a mixture of Dawn dish soap and water for the laptop screen and a wipe or lint-free cloth of isopropyl rubbing alcohol to gently clean your laptop's keyboard.
As for why rubbing alcohol is such a solid choice for keyboard cleaning, CNET elaborates, "For one, it evaporates almost immediately, which greatly reduces the risk of liquid getting inside your laptop. Secondly, it's effective in removing the oily residue left behind by your fingertips."

7. We are in the third year of a newly established planned giving program. It is hard to believe we took as long to do this as we did, given that other charitable, nonprofit and eleemosynary institutions have, historically, found this to be a strong source of support. The function is simply that of providing stimulation and assistance for those who are able to plan to give to the UUA, either during their lifetimes or in their wills, making use of various legal and tax saving methods. A program such as this takes a lot of lead-in work and a certain amount of time for commitments to mature. This year, the Board reviewed the accomplishments of the program to date and decided to make the Planned Giving Office a permanent part of our fund raising effort.
8. Last year at this time we faced the culmination of a crisis in our health insurance coverage for ministers. Two years previously, the UUA took over the UUMA plan which had become fiscally unworkable. A generous benefit structure, an aging covered group, and rising premium costs combined to create a plan which young ministers could not afford to join. Without going through an enormously detailed review of what happened, let it simply be said, that through the combined efforts of the Council on Church Staff Finances and the Treasurer's office, a new program was secured which will continue the coverage to those in the original plan who could not obtain coverage elsewhere, keeping the commitment made at the 1988 General Assembly.
Nothing is more tiresome than the person who goes out of office leaving behind a list of things that his or her successors should accomplish. In reality, it is a list of things left undone by the departing.
I do have a thought I want to leave you with however:
Planning. This has been my great failure. I have tried since the first regular board meeting I attended in October of 1981 to bring about an institutionalized planning process for our Association -- and it has not happened. Sometimes it has been lack of money; sometimes the departure of key staff at key moments.
We have during this time created two Board Long Range Planning Committees. One did its work, completed its report and -- nothing happened. Another is now at work essentially with no budget and no staff or consulting support.
We get into trouble when we have no plan because we have nothing against which to measure what happens to us. Do us all a favor -- worry about this after I am gone from office.
Baseball, unlike any other team sport with which we are familiar, is a game which is played until it is finished, regardless of how long that takes. Clearly a game from another era, it has a majesty and a logic unintimidated by the clock. Holding office in the UUA is no baseball game, and when the Moderators' gavel falls at the end of this General Assembly, whether I have finished everything or not, I am history. I certainly know I haven't done everything I should have, but it's goodbye, nevertheless.
I remember my predecessor remarked, eight years ago on this occasion, "It is said the two best days in office are the first and the last." There is a bit of truth in that, but I kind of liked the days in between, too. One of my friends back home in The Unitarian Church in Westport has asked me numerous times over the past eight years, "Bob, are you having any fun?" Then, the inevitable follow-up, "Are you making a difference?" My answer to each was always, "Yes," but I always had to think a bit on the second one.
I have had fun and I have savored the days in between the first and the last -- and it is all because of the great group of UU friends with whom I have been associated. I have to pick some out; the rest will know I love them, too. Bill Schulz and Gene Pickett, it is said, are somewhat different in style. Working with each has been an enormously rewarding experience, one I wish all of you could have shared as closely as I did. Two men, each in his own way, with great dedication to our Association, have given more than those not watching them close up will ever know; I hold them both in high affection and so should we all. Sandy Caron and Nat Gulbrandsen have been great to work with; their friendship, support and good humor have meant much to me. Finance Committee Chairs Ted MacRae, Mary Hart, Chuck Wyatt and Larry Wheeler each made important contributions to our process and our accomplishments. Bob Chapman and Bob Johnson, Chairs of the Investment Committee, in quieter, less visible ways, have contributed greatly to the improvement in our investment strategies and results. MacRae, Hart and Chapman have gone to the great committee meetings in the sky; warm memories of them catch at my throat, blur my vision.
Good relations with our Treasurer and Vice President for Finance are important for any UUA Financial Advisor; this has certainly characterized my work with Bob Sallies and David Provost. Many on the UUA staff headed by Kay Montgomery who has become my good friend -- a lady of wit and style whom I shall miss -- many have helped me in countless ways, even though some of that assistance may not have seemed of major import to them -- it helped me to do my job and I am most appreciative.
So as you can gather, it has been the association with a particularly talented and dedicated group of UUs which has made the past eight years so rewarding. Take care of yourselves and of our Association; give to the Annual Program Fund; love your officers and trustees, -- they are warm and wonderful people doing their best for the institution we all care about greatly.

Serious dieters know that thermogenesis, or increasing your internal body temperature, is a great way to literally burn away fat cells as you strive toward your ideal weight. However, most thermogenics on the market can't distinguish between unwanted fat and desirable muscle mass, burning both away indiscriminately. Naturally, this makes it very difficult to build muscle while losing weight.
The experts at Force Factor have crafted a new product intended to solve this problem once and for all. LeanFire Diet Aminos is a workout powder containing VeriLean, a proprietary green tea extract clinically proven to improve the ratio of fat to muscle lost by as much as 2.5x! Some muscle loss is still inevitable while dieting, so Force Factor LeanFire Diet Aminos also contains BCAA amino acids in an ideal 2:1:1 ratio to help the body quickly replace the lost muscle. The result is a slimmer, more sculpted physique.
Who Is Force Factor?
Force Factor is one of the leaders in the fitness nutrition industry. Founded by a pair of Harvard University rowers in 2009, the company met critical acclaim shortly after launch due to their commitment to well-dosed, all-natural, and premium quality ingredients. Notably, they earned GNC's coveted Rising Star award within a year of their launch.
Today, Force Factor is a lifestyle brand dedicated to helping consumers reach their full potential, whether that means losing weight with LeanFire Diet Aminos, building muscle with WHEY30 Protein, or restoring ideal testosterone levels with Alpha King.
How Does LeanFire Diet Aminos Work?
LeanFire Diet Aminos works in a number of ways. First, it promotes an increased internal body temperature to promote rapid weight loss. Verilean, the green tea extract discussed above, focuses this weight loss on fat cells in order to preserve as much of your muscle mass as possible.
There is no way to completely shield your muscle tissue from thermogenesis, so LeanFire Diet Aminos contains BCAA amino acids to help rebuild any muscle loss. Amino acids are the biological building blocks of protein, so your body needs them to build protein-based muscle tissue. BCAA stands for branched-chain amino acid, the most bio-available amino acids to help more rapidly rebuild muscle mass. Best of all, LeanFire Diet Aminos delivers these vital amino acids in an ideal 2:1:1 ratio for the best possible results!
Many thermogenics incorporate caffeine into their formulations, producing the energy needed to get through an intense workout at the cost of jitters or a debilitating crash after the fact. Force Factor understands that modern individuals have no time to wait out a crash period, so they virtually eliminated it with their thermovigilance system.
Caffeine and L-Theanine are precisely dosed in LeanFire Diet Aminos so that the caffeine gives you smooth energy now without the jitters or crash later typically associated with caffeinated products. The result is a powerful supplement delivering the physical and mental edge you need to head to the gym without the adverse side effects found in other products.
Is LeanFire Diet Aminos Easy To Use?
Yes, LeanFire Diet Aminos is very easy to take. Simply mix one level scoop into an 8-oz glass of water with your first two large meals of the day. Force Factor LeanFire Diet Aminos delivers an immediate energy boost, so it's not recommended to take the product within four hours of going to bed.
Dieters are frequently concerned with their caloric intake, so adding flavoring to a cup of water may seem counterproductive. Rest assured that LeanFire Diet Aminos is calorie-free, so it won't hinder your diet at all while helping you burn away stubborn fat.
LeanFire Diet Aminos tastes great too! They currently offer 3 flavors to choose from, Gummy Bear, Blueberry Lemonade, and Strawberry Pineapple.
How Can I Maximize My Results With LeanFire Diet Aminos?
LeanFire Diet Aminos contains BCAA amino acids already, but consuming additional protein will help it work faster. Therefore, stacking Force Factor WHEY30 with LeanFire Diet Aminos significantly boosts the effectiveness of both of these powerful products.
Force Factor LeanFire Diet Aminos is on sale at ForceFactor.com in jars containing 45 servings each. Keep checking back for the latest updates on this exciting product!
Serious dieters know that thermogenesis, or increasing your internal body temperature, is a great way to literally burn away fat cells as
|LeanFire Diet Aminos
SummaryLeanFire Diet Aminos is a great new BCAA supplement that includes thermogenic ingredients to speed up your metabolism. We think it's an effective way to burn fat and replenish lost nutrients during a grueling workout.

Puntland President blames local traders for supporting Al shabaab
President of Somalia's northeastern semi-autonomous region of Puntland Abiweli Mohamed Ali Gaas has accused the local businessman community of supporting Al shabaab.
Speaking at a press conference in the port city of Bosaso, President Gaas said some of the traders pay taxation to Al shabaab, in fear of their punishment instead of his administration.
"The traders who pay the tax to Al shabaab are same the militants we are fighting, because they are financing the terrorists," said Puntland President Abweli Gaas.
The President added that a section of the business people rejected to pay the tax to Puntland state; instead they give it to Al shabaab in fear of the group's threats.
The President's accusation came after traders in Bosaso, the regional capital of Bari region shut down their business centers last week, in protest of increased tax by the local authorizes.

Victory Lap!
Really! At Last!
And it was lovely! No strings attached. Warm and affirming. Free and happy. Open and comforting. I actually didn't know I had it in me - to be able to be in that physically intimate space with someone and NOT connect into a deep and complicated space.
I met a clever Environmental Scientist on a conference I was leading this week. We met at breakfast as we were in the same bed and breakfast joint. He offered me a lift to the conference venue and we ended up sitting next to each other during the sessions. At some stage in the afternoon, our arms brushed. And some sort of chemistry started cooking. Another 'innocuous' brush here and there, and that chemistry escalated. Like there was a magnet between us. Then more intentional touching, still, of course, invisible from the rest of the conference delegates.
By dinner he was sitting up close next to me (in a booth where all of us were squashed and up close, granted, but not all of us were surreptitiously touching fingers and thighs under the table). We drank and talked and laughed with our conference colleagues, and played tentative sexy touch games under the table. It was playful and light. Nothing heavy at all.
I suddenly realised I had had far too much wine for my own good, said goodnight to everyone, and headed home with a friend of mine. On the way home I saw lights in the rear view mirror (was a very remote venue, so unlikely to see that at that time), and wondered if it was him. Thought about whether I wanted it to be him. Decided that I was happy if it was him, and would let the evening unfold the way it took itself. By the time I had let myself into my room, there was a knock at the door. I opened the door and he stepped in and kissed me. Then he said "I thought you may need someone to put you to bed". I smiled. And closed the door behind him.
And we made love. Again - not the mind blowing soulful sex that comes from deep connection, but rather 'good enough' sex. We had hardly shared 10 sentences with each other directly since we'd met - all conversation had happened in group contexts, but we still found a comfort and rhythm with each other that surprised me. It was like all the terms of our engagement had been communicated in touch and nuance, and no words were necessary - no discomfort felt. And it was just so incredibly lovely to touch and be touched after all these months of touch free desert. I just didn't want to stop touching him and kissing him in his neck, and back, and face and running my hands all over his broad hairy chest. Feeling this man under my hands with all his hardness and solidness and masculinity was just like a dream.
We lay together for a few hours in the too-narrow 3/4 bed, and he eventually left me to sleep away the last few hours before morning.
He came to me again the following night. Earlier this time. Less alcohol in both our systems. Both of us almost falling over with tiredness after a full day's work on only a few hours sleep from the previous night. We got into my bed, naked, and just held each other for a while. He played me some Leonard Cohen music that he loved on youtube on my phone, and we talked a bit, just holding each other, until we fell asleep. And then, once we had rested, we woke up in the early hours and made love again. Slower this time. Better. Warmer. No rush. Just nice.
And then it was time for him to leave my bed as the daylight started creeping in. He kissed me.
We spent the rest of that day working in the conference space, and when the conference ended I had to leave very fast - I had 4 hours of driving to get to the airport through very remote rural country, so couldn't dally about. I collected all my luggage about me, and rushed to say goodbye. He looked at me with his lovely blue eyes and I said "I have to go now. Goodbye" And smiled.
"Goodbye" he said, with a matching smile.
And that was all.
No numbers exchanged. No 'I'll call you'. No 'let's do this again sometime'. Nothing. And that was as it should be. It felt right.
To just walk away with a secret smile.

United States ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has said that the rumours of her having an affair with US President Donald Trump are "disgusting" and "highly offensive". While talking at Politico's podcast 'Women Rule', Haley said that these rumours were typical of the challenges faced by strong women who manage to work their way up to positions of power, according to The Guardian.
She said, "It is absolutely not true. At every point in my life, I've noticed that if you speak your mind and you're strong about it and you say what you believe, there are a small percentage of people that resent that. And the way they deal with it is to try and throw arrows – lies or not – to diminish you".
The rumours were sparked by the comments made by Michael Wolff, author of the book 'Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House', during an appearance on HBO's 'Real Time with Bill Maher'.
In his interview, Wolff had said that he was "absolutely sure" that Trump is having an extramarital affair, but said he omitted the claim from his book 'Fire and Fury' because he was not able to substantiate it.
The comments led to speculations that he was talking about Haley, who, he wrote, spends a "notable amount of private time" with Trump on Air Force One. "I have literally been on Air Force One once and there were several people in the room when I was there", noted Haley.
Haley also shared that the attacks don't deter her from doing her work. She explained, "Do I like it? No. Is it right? No. Is it going to slow me down? Not at all. Any time this has happened, it only makes me fight harder it only makes me work harder. And I do it for the sake of other women that are behind me".
This is not the first time such claims have been made against Haley. She encountered similar claims throughout her political career, including during her campaign to become governor of South Carolina.

The most-planted Rhone varietal in the state, syrah offers gamey, leathery, black fruit and peppery spicy notes and is a fine companion for meaty autumnal fare.
Made on its own, the grape is also often blended with other red Rhone varieties — most commonly grenache and mourvedre. The grenache is known to add additional red fruit components and acidity; the mourvedre provides rich, earthier overtones.
Oded Shakked of Longboard Vineyards (longboardvineyards.com) in Healdsburg has been making single-vineyard designated syrahs since the 1990s, sourcing grapes mostly from the Russian River Valley.
"Syrah is a wine that fits my eclectic personality; the grape adapts well to the cooler growing region of the Northern Russian River Valley appellation and produces wines of layered complexity with just enough acidity to let them age well," Shakked said. "Syrah is the wine for those who are passionate enough to be wine geeks but can't stand 'outstretched pinkies,' a noble wine dressed in faded jeans and steel-toed boots. Syrah is what made me fall in love with Sonoma to begin with!"
Shakked thinks the Upper Middle Reach, the northeastern section of the Russian River Valley appellation where it meets Chalk Hill, Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley, is in fact the perfect spot for syrah, warm enough to bring out its meatier characteristics yet tempered by enough coolness to draw out intriguing streaks of wild fennel and spice.
The vineyards there also provide structure, an essential ingredient for aging. And Shakked's syrahs do age. A recent tasting of the 1999 and 2000 vintages in particular displayed exceptional structure and a freshness of fennel, abetted by black licorice, leather and herb.
Meanwhile, the current release 2012 vintage syrah offers plum, meat and subtle spice around a core of buoyant acidity.
Other recommended Rhone reds:
Campesino Cellars (campesinocellars.com) sources syrah from the Sangiacomo Old Lakeville Road Vineyard, a cool site within the Petaluma Gap portion of the larger Sonoma Coast. The vineyard is entirely inspired by the Northern Rhone. The 100 percent syrah that comes off it is a study in how the grape responds when given a chillier climate, providing smoky flavors of dark fruit, bacon and dried herbs around lilting aromas of violet. Campesino is owned by Griselda Montoya, who grew up in Carneros; her brothers are the founders of Ceja Vineyards.
A pinot noir and chardonnay producer based in the West Sonoma Coast, Chasseur (chasseurwines.com) also makes a quintessentially restrained syrah. The 2012 from Russian River Valley is elegant in cherry, leather and white pepper.
Cornerstone Cellars (cornerstonecellars.com) taps the REI Soda Canyon Vineyard in the eastern mountains of the Napa Valley for its 100 percent syrah, aging it in French Burgundy oak to produce a wine with plenty of vibrant red and blue fruit that shines aromatically in violet and lavender. Accenting the fruit are the variety's classic characteristics of licorice, dried herbs and wild game.
Crux Winery (cruxwinery.com) is a tiny operation in the Russian River Valley focused on Rhone wines as well as sauvignon blanc and zinfandel. The Crux 2012 grenache is sourced from several Russian River Valley vineyards, including Greywacke, Force 5, Atoosa's and Windsor Oaks, with small amounts of syrah and mourvedre blended in. The acidity is alive and bright, providing a freshness to the wine. The 2012 GSM combines 52 percent grenache with 30 percent syrah, 16 percent mourvedre and 2 percent petite sirah for a heartier expression of dark fruit and spice.

DISCLAIMER: Desperate Housewives and its characters are the property of ABC. No infringement intended.
AUTHOTS NOTE: Okay, first time for me writing DH and Katherine/Robin. But I just can't get them out of my head. So I somehow HAD to write this *lol*
ARCHIVING: Only with the permission of the author.
Being Who She Is
By little_ruby
Katherine turned around when she saw Robin walking up the stairs. Her heart was racing from the confession she just had made. She couldn't quite believe that she, Katherine Mayfair, just told a beautiful young woman that she had feelings for her. For another woman. A young woman. A damn beautiful and hot woman. Seeing Robin in her bra again had just triggered something inside of her. In that moment she couldn't deny anymore that she was attracted to her. But of course it wasn't just her body that made it. No, Robin was kind and funny. She cared about other people, especially Katherine. They could talk about everything and nothing, laugh about everything and nothing. Being with Robin was being herself again. After such a long time, Katherine could be again who she really was. Not that crazy woman that belonged in a mental hospital. No. A proud woman in her fifties, who lived her life the way she wanted.
She looked around her living room and a tear fell down her cheek. Even though Robin was just upstairs packing her things, the house felt lonely again. Katherine realized that the last days, she had been happy. Happy with her life, with herself. Happy with Robin. And was that really interfering with her recovery? Was her doctor right? She couldn't believe it. The goal was for her to live again, to be happy again. And she was. The redhead turned around walked slowly upstairs. She tuned out the warning voice of her therapist and all the other alarm bells that went off inside her head. In some way she knew that this was right, especially when she saw Robin sitting sadly on her bed packing her belongings. With a shivering hand Katherine closed the door behind her, when Robin looked up at her. And with closing the door, she shut out all the doubts and warnings inside of her and just looked at the woman who made her happy again.
The End

Product Description
Premium Usability in Digital Radiography
Through Samsung's advanced technology, the XGEO GU60 lowers radiation exposure, while maintaining a higher level of imaging. Real-time monitoring ensures high-level performance.
Through Samsung's advanced technology, the XGEO GU60 lowers radiation exposure, while maintaining a higher level of imaging. Real-time monitoring ensures high-level performance.
The ultrasensitive FPD (Flat Panel Detector), developed based on Samsung Electronics' outstanding TFT technology, features proprietary ALDAS (Advanced Low Dose Amorphous Silicon Sensor) technology. ALDAS improves patient safety and the reliability of the diagnosis by acquiring high-resolution images with a very small amount of radiation.
The compact, light-weighted, and portable detector will provide a better medical environment by improving user convenience and the efficiency of work.
ALCOS is an outstanding post image processing technology that automatically determines suitable image conditions depending on the target body parts and tissues. This proprietary technology provides qualified images for diagnoses by applying high resolution image contrast and edge sharpness enhancement functions.
Users can acquire more accurate imaging data at a faster speed, which ultimately leads to a highly productive medical environment.
Adaptive Multi-Scale Processing adjusts multiple frequency levels depending on the target body parts or tissues. Using a funnel structure, it prevents frequency breakdown performance from dropping in lower levels and maintains highly accurate images.
Based Image Enhancement improves the contrast and resolution of the tissue images according to the scanned region and its characteristics.
Noise can be partially removed while preserving raw data by using noise filters and edge modeling. Even when the noise is removed, the clarity and resolution of bones and tissues is not lost.
XGEO GU60 is a universal arm-type equipment that can easily be adjusted to scan various parts of the patient. Thanks to U-arm's broad shoulders, which can be rotated from +120 degrees to -30 degrees, and the SID adjustment range of 100-180 cm, the XGEO GU60 can scan the patient from various positions in a small space.
The users and the patients can easily follow the progress of the scan by looking at the 4 different colors of the LED lighting. Green indicates "ready", blue indicates "adjusting", orange indicates "scanning" and red indicates "emergency". This user-friendly function makes it easy to check the status of the device.
The Auto Positioning Function remembers the most frequently used positions and automatically swivels the U-arm to those positions.
The visual guide provides various scanning positions to help the user acquire images easily.
The integrated UI (User Interface) used in the THU (Tube Head Unit) and simple and intuitive GUI (Graphical User Interface) make it easier to use and understand the equipment, providing high levels of ease and conve- nience. Various elements of AUI (Audio User Interface), corresponding with the THU's movement, provide an intuitive user experience. In addition the XGEO GU60 is designed in a refined and elegant manner.
Most functions of the equipment can be controlled by a remote control, which allows the user to work with the scanner more conveniently without going back and forth between the scanning room and the control room.
The large 12 inch touch screen on the THU enhances the usability by quickly displaying the captured image and providing easy to use GUI.
(4-way Control Device)
When scanning an area that is smaller than the area of the FPD, the individual blade control moves the four axes of the area to lower unnecessary radiation exposure. By adjusting the area, the amount of exposed X-ray radiation dosage is minimized. This function is especially effective when scanning the chests of children.
The AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) function controls the X-ray dosage to prevent the patient from being exposed to unnecessary radiation. The DAP sensor of the collimator shows the X-ray dosage for the patient and the operator can manage the dosage effectively by utilizing the DAP information sent to the PACS.
The THU has 6 anti-collision sensors that sense objects and people's movement to prevent the equipment from colliding with users or patients.

Transformers TRU Exclusive Masterpiece Grimlock
Hi guys, back with another review and this time we are looking at...........
Masterpiece Grimlock! This is the Toys R Us exclusive version made by Hasbro and released in the US just this month. As I write this, I've only had the figure a few hours but I can definitely say that Grimlock is every bit as impressive as Masterpiece Optimus Prime. The amount of gimmicks he has is amazing, both in robot and dino mode. and each form is articulated enough for great poses. In the box with Grimlock are his Energy Sword, Twin Barrel Blaster, and the Dinobot Crown of Leadership that was part of Takara's MP-08X "King Grimlock". Now lets get a good look at each mode shall we.
Grimlock's T-Rex mode is done faithfully to his original G1 figure, fitting in as a robotic version of what people thought a t-rex looked like in the 80's. He is also highly accurate to what he looked like in the G1 cartoons and comics, complete with a dial on the inside of his head that lets you choose his eye color. He has chromed teeth, claws, and a tail as well as a gold chromed belly. His toes and the parts his legs connect to are made of die-cast metal. The robot modes crotch is also die-cast. In dino mode, Grimlock has articulated arms, claws, legs, tail and head. His mouth opens and closes and he has a gimmick where when you move his tail from side to side, his head will turn left and right. The only thing i don't like is that he cant look down at his foes. The molding is done excellently, hinges used for transformation are well disguised, like the ones that are attached to his robot mode wings look like rocket thrusters in dino mode.
Grimlock's transformation to and from robot mode is a bit trickier than the G1 version but the end result is most stunning. Grimlock is every bit a dead ringer for his cartoon self as MP Optimus. His right hand doesn't have finger articulation but it does have a led light that will show through either his gun or sword, making them glow red. The left hand doesn't have the light, but is fully articulated. He also has full arm, leg, head, and waist movement. A switch on the back of his head will allow you to change the color of his visor from cartoon blue to comic red and back, and the Dinobot Crown of Leadership looks most regal on him with his red visor showing. The level of detail in robot mode is just as amazing as dino mode. He seems near perfect.
Size wise, Grimlock could be compared to a Leader class figure. He seems rather short compared to MP Optimus, but when you put him with the Classics/Universe/Generations series figures, he fits right in. In the G1 series, Grimlock was a big guy, just as tall if not taller than Optimus himself. Even Megatron had to look up at Grimlock at times. This fact makes MP Grimlock feel in perfect scale next to the Classics line and makes him a worthy candidate for any Neo G1 display.
Hope you guys enjoyed this little review and I'll see you next time. Take care.

Moonah Links (Legends Course)
Golf course
The Legends course might have been the second course built at Australian golf's new home, but it was so well received by golfers that today it is regarded as the better of the two. The course officially opened for play in 2004, about three years after the adjoining Open layout, and within a year it had cemented a place among the top five public access courses in the country. It was the first Australian design of Ross Perrett, who at the time was third partner in the successful design team headed by Peter Thomson and Mike Wolveridge. Perrett's brief was to create a course that complemented the brutish Open layout by offering a fun and friendly golfing experience. He succeeded on all fronts.
Although the 1st tee is no more than a well-hit seveniron away from the 18th green of the Open course, the Legends course sets out across a vastly different landscape. It begins with a series of parkland-style holes that rise and fall through valleys and between long, dense stretches of ancient moonah trees. The high ground off to the side of these fairways will eventually be dotted with houses overlooking the course. After a while the moonah trees thin out and the course takes on a new complexion. Tall sand dunes and wild, rugged bunkers sit alongside gently rolling fairways, giving rise to a links-style layout. Precious little earth was moved during the creation of the Legends course; it feels as if it has been here for decades. Perrett did a wonderful job in routing the course to follow the roll of the land, sticking to the low ground wherever possible. The bunkers, visually, are both appealing and intimidating, and an interesting feature of the course is its commemoration of past champions. Each hole is named after an Australian Open winner, with the likes of Tom Watson (the 3rd), Greg Norman (4th), Arnold Palmer (6th), Jack Nicklaus (7th) and Gary Player (9th) all represented.
Particularly enjoyable is the variety of holes and the different strategies required to play them well. Each of the par-fives demands a fresh approach, depending on the strength and direction of the wind and the boldness of your play. On the 495-metre 9th, for example, the shortest line to the green is down the right half of the fairway. Yet this is also the most treacherous route. Eight bunkers line the right edge, as the fairway winds its way through a valley between rows of mounds. The green is set in an amphitheatre created by high, deep, grass covered dunes. With the prevailing wind pushing in from the right, smart play rather than brute strength is needed to break par here.
Soon after comes one of the finest short par-fours on the entire peninsula. Named after the great South African golfer Bobby Locke, the 272-metre 11th is reachable from the tee – but wind conditions have to be conducive. Any hint of a southerly breeze will be tempting enough for most long hitters to pull out their driver here. Yet to find the sanctuary of the green, they must first clear four punishing sand traps. A wide fairway lies to the left of the bunkers, making a long iron from the tee followed by a short-iron approach shot the more conservative play. The standard of presentation on both the Legends and Open courses is unforgettable, earning Moonah Links a reputation for some of the best playing surfaces in the country.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Central banks are largely powerless to revive euro zone economic growth, and the responsibility instead lies with governments, Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann said on Friday, warning against overburdening monetary policy.
Trying to solve Europe's structural problems with loose monetary policy risks not only failure but a repeat of the mistakes of the 1970s, a period characterized by high unemployment and high inflation, said Weidmann, a long critic of the European Central Bank's unprecedented stimulus.
Weidmann's comments highlight the long-standing rift between the ECB and Germany, the euro zone's biggest economy, which argues that stimulus achieves little and low borrowing costs actually reduce the urgency of painful but necessary reforms.
"We are not primarily dealing with weak demand but with slow growth," Weidmann, who sits on the ECB's rate-setting Governing Council, said. "Monetary policy is largely powerless in battling that."
"Politicians hold the key to stronger growth, not the central bank," Weidmann said in Frankfurt. "I have been pointing out for a while now that we cannot demand too much of monetary policy."
Since the start of Europe's economic and debt crises, an increasing burden has been placed on the ECB, and in some countries the bank is the only player working on reviving growth, Weidmann said.
For years he has opposed the bank's bond buying program, known as quantitative easing, and voted last week against expanding it to 2.3 trillion euros.
Weak growth is mainly due to structural issues, Weidmann said. Productivity growth has halved since before the bloc's economic crisis, and high debt levels are still forcing both households and governments to deleverage.
Weidmann also warned that giving central banks too many responsibilities, including over banking supervision and financial stability, could create tensions between conflicting objectives.

On the one hand, I'm glad to see technology being used to show what's happening in Baghdad but I am deeply saddened by the apparent and complete lack of historical context. A couple entries made it sound as though America ruined a perfectly peaceful country run not by a brutal dictator but by an Arab version of Santa Claus whose "supposely" brutal actions only get a "aw shucks, you silly meglomaniac…" with a friedly pat on the shoulder. Where are the stories of people who were brutalized by the former dictators regime? You speak of Beirut. What about Haifa? What about all the Israelis living in bunkers…unable to function normally because a terrorist organization rains down munitions over their otherwise peaceful lives. Let your city be blasted by missiles for days and see if you look at the fight for life in terms of "what's fair". This is a matter of confronting evil. Evil wants to kill and destroy ALL. Good wants to protect even if it means such drastic means as retaliation or pre-emption. Quit buying the lines of the Hamas's and the Hezbollah's of the world and recognize it for what it is - propaganda meant to insight further hatred. There are many innocents caught in the middle. Show their stories…but don't forget that there's a larger war being waged for the future of the planet. To ignore context is to ignore the larger truths. Truth isn't always shiny and neat and…nice. But truth is truth. There's good. There's evil. America is NOT the bad guy in this and for all your negativity…sure Iraqis are in a precarious situation and I'm not discounting that fact….let's not lose sight of the good (yes, good…and a lot of it) that we've been able to bring and will bring in the future. You don't actually think the Taliban would bring back Blue's clubs and art gallery shows were they to take over control, do you? Keep up the good work but don't forget to seek truth and not just the truth you WANT to see. ~ Jon H
Rethinkthank: Analyzing media coverage of the Middle East conflict(s).
Check it.
I'm sorry anonymous, but no one here is trying to make Saddam Hussein out to be 'Santa Claus', the reason so little is mentioned about him is that he is no longer a player in the Middle East; he is in jail. As for those "Israelis living in bunkers…unable to function normally because a terrorist organization rains down munitions over their otherwise peaceful lives" - I take serious issue with your stance. With terrorists raining down munitions I expect yu are referring to Hezbollah. If this is the case, have you stopped to consider they are a political party? They have leaders within the Lebanese government! Just because you don't agree with their stance or tactics does not make them terrorists. I don't think the confederate leaders of the past U.S. history were right. I agree with nothing they held dear. They killed men, women, children, and promoted slavery. Were they terrorists? - Absolutely not.
But that's different you say these people use rockets and attack seemingly randomly trying to kill any Israeli they can … well this may be true, or it could be that they are trying to protect for a much more sophisticated and wealthy enemy by any means possible. Is israel any better? They use precision guided missles and mmillion dollar jets to hit… hospitals, nursery schools full of children, U.N. peacekeepers.
Stop picking sides because the Whitehouse told you to. Last time I checked Israel had a slogan: "from the Euphrates to the Nile" and Hezbollah had a flag with a gun on it.
Who is to blame here? EVERYONE WITH A WEAPON.

Rosie Dolly and Irving Netcher decided to get married in New York and so travelled from France to America in March 1932. Before sailing from Cherbourg, Rosie announced to the press that they would not purchase joint property in France because of the high taxes and because their future life would include too much travelling, so she must have already sold her properties in Paris. 'If this marriage doesn't take, I am entering a nunnery,' Rosie added, as she sailed away aboard the Olympic with 12 trunks containing 40 hats, 50 pairs of shoes, 15 evening gowns and 20 dresses of green, black and white and beige made specially for her honeymoon. On arrival in New York, Rosie and Irving were guests of Mr and Mrs Nate B. Spingold, a motion picture executive and his wife, who had formerly been the famous New York modiste Mme Francis, in their apartment at the Waldorf Astoria.
At a civil wedding ceremony on 17 March 1932, conducted by Mayor James J. Walker of New York, Rosie, wearing an almond green gown, green shoes and a hat to match, tied the knot with Irving. Irving's brother Townsend, his wife Constance Talmadge and the Manhatten millionnaire William Seemen and his wife, the former movie star Phyllis Haver, were witnesses. Norma Talmadge was also one of fifty intimate friends in the wedding party. Rosie said that she was prepared to be a playmate bride not a drudge to her new husband: 'Men want companions when they marry . . . they want their wives to play, to be merry and happy not to take life too seriously . . . You see I've had experience . . . I think I know what men want. I've tried marriage before, so I should be better qualified to make this marriage successful.'

SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. — The place where Civil War Gen. Stonewall Jackson launched his famous flank attack against Union troops during the Battle of Chancellorsville has been preserved by the National Park Service.
The Park Service paid $775,000 for 40 acres of private land to be included in the Fredricksburg-Spotsylvania National Military Park.
Vast fields and dense woods that were Civil War battlefields blanket much of Spotsylvania County, and large chunks of land remain in the hands of private owners or developers. Parcel by parcel, the Park Service is hoping to buy 380 acres of the Chancellorsville battlefield.
Confederate soldiers were outnumbered, 2 to 1, by Union troops during the four days of combat in May 1863. Jackson decided to blast the Union line by attacking diagonally from the west, rather than face on. At the time, it was an unusual military maneuver that caught Union Gen. Joseph Hooker and his troops off guard. The ferocious battle resulted in nearly 30,000 casualties.
"This battle was by most accounts Jackson's greatest accomplishment. The Confederates absolutely demolished them," John Hennessy, the assistant superintendent for the military park, said Wednesday.

It is that time of year when a lot of triathletes are forced indoors by the 'challenging' British weather and many of us will start to invest a bit more time in good ol' winter weights. But what should we be doing? Will it help us come the spring time? Do you really need it? Well unless you're routinely doing squats on a physioball the answer is probably yes!
There is so much information out there that it can be a little overwhelming and it is difficult to know where to start, but taking the time to invest in a good functional strengthening programme might just be the key to an injury free season. So what to do? There are good books addressing exactly this issue. There are also programmes on the internet from legendary triathlete Mark Allen and an interesting article from beginnertriathlete.com on just how beneficial it can be.
If you are truly wanting a specific programme to address your weaknesses the best thing just might be investing in a few sessions with a personal trainer. Our very own Jon Munroe or Harry Boyle obviously come highly recommended and remember Harry is offering a half price assessment sessions to all Premier Tri members. So remember, train your fear to make it disappear.

It's that time of year! Whether you're diving headlong into spring break activities or planning your upcoming summer vacation, here are a few must-haves that deserve a spot on your packing checklist.
As multitasking moms (c'mon, we all know who packs the suitcases!), we deserve to be as comfy as possible. Cue the cozy zipper hoodie, slip-on sneaks and cushy yet stylish headphones. (What's that? Bickering in the backseat? Mommy can't hear you!)
Speaking of kids, keep them busy with fun doodle books that also spotlight attractions in the city or town you're visiting. Keep your own thoughts in order with a travel journal that inspires and challenges you to explore (and record) roads less traveled.
And everyone knows that bringing the right bag is essential, particularly one with wheels that will colorfully (yet tastefully) call your name at baggage claim. Be sure to pack a fold-up reusable bag for grocery shopping or souvenirs.
Whatever you do, don't forget to bring backup. A portable electronics charger is a must, along with a travel adapter for plugs outside of the U.S.
Wherever you and the fam are headed — whether you're taking a short road trip or an hours-long flight across a major body of water — snacks are always necessary. Make your own granola bars or coconut macaroons, and ride off into that sunset that looks so different from home.
Bon voyage!

If you have not read parts 1 & 2, please click the numbers to spin yourself up to this post.
We have already talked about roping management into understanding the why's of safety. If you chose to shove it down their throats with rules and policy, you've already lost and should look into the many books, articles, and rules on leadership (both with authority and through influence). -This one is my favorite, but the verbiage does not coddle.
In my first post after saying to give a damn, I mentioned being hands-on, showing forgiveness, reinforcing policy, and patience. What exactly does that mean? What does it look like?
Hands-on: Never ask someone to do something you yourself would not do. When starting to steer your safety culture, get into the trenches with your folks. Have them teach you how to do their job so you can feel the lower back pain from stooping to tie hotdogs; understand just how hard it is to cut and peel metal sheets; and feel the burn in your calves and backside from pulling 100′ of 3″ hose full of fuel on concrete covered in slippery deicing fluid. This not only increases your credibility with those you need to buy-in the most, but also tunes you into understanding them as people first; some of the more difficult ergonomics issues; and possible procedural deviations.
Showing Forgiveness and Reinforcing Policy: When taking over a facility that has safety culture problems, you will notice systemic problems with safety (no seatbelts, partial or no PPE use, etc. by all personnel). -You can't fire all forklift operators because they are complying with long-term accepted norms! Praise in public. Coaching on the right way and zealously voicing gratitude when compliance is demonstrated via initiative goes a long way. Continued coaching in hushed tones for brief engagement and pulling supervisors into longer conversations is effective in the steering process with the late (non) adopters for the right trajectory.
Patience: Everything one does to influence safety culture must be done with the patience of Job. Leading with the approach that they can't quit or be fired keeps one's mind on working with folks to steer the culture in the right direction rather than divert valuable focus to hiring/firing and unnecessary drama. Steering culture is a long-term goal with failure, unprecedented success, backsliding, jokes, as well as overt and covert resistance by individuals or organized groups all hitting at different times (or sometimes it feels like all at once) throughout the process. Another reason for patience is that sometimes that light at the end of the tunnel is a train… Groups may begin to reform from within with the new knowledge and empowerment of your new, great training. At some point enforcement may become the way to go for hold-outs or egregious violations, but one must be very measured in this approach if you recognize the group is already in or about to tip into a storming phase.
Perception is Reality. One must be at their most calm and engagement should be above professional to avoid getting pulled too deeply into the storming phase as taking a side (or appearing to) can tank your credibility.
Stay tuned for the last post in this series where we will discuss what some symptoms of early success are and how to deal with kick-back from other areas.

On Jan 14, 2018 I had got a Sony TV as an exchange for a better one for the one I previously had. It was the XBR-800e for an upgrade to the 900e. After roughly a few weeks, I had decided I wanted the XBR-930 due to the reason being that it was on sale for a little bit more. However, I was a few days out of the return policy, so I called a store other than the one I usually go to because it was closer at the time. I called them and they told me I could bring it in for a return or an exchange. I asked them to confirm if they were going to actually take it or waste my time. They told me to bring it and they would take care of it. I took the TV a few days later and they opened it and the TV was intact, not broken and they can acknowledge that. However, when they tried to pull up the tv on my account, it was nowhere to be found. They told me that the only way to return or exchange was to take it back to the original best buy where I had bought it. So, they repackaged the TV, and here is where the story takes a huge turn. In the box, there is a cardboard which is to be placed in front of the TV in order to protect it from damage. This employee, put the TV in the box, and put the cardboard BEHIND the TV, and the metal stand that is supposed to be in the back, was put in the front of the TV where it can be scratched. A few days go by and I decide to go to the store, I speak with the magnolia people and they tell me I can exchange it for a better one and it would be final purchase. I said ok and I was happy. I told the man I would bring the tv back because I needed to speak with my wife about the exchange. I come back on a saturday, and they open the TV. To my surprise, the TV is scratched, and the stand is in FRONT of the TV. the cardboard is incorrectly placed in the back and the screws are obviously worn out due to the scrateches. The manager denies to take it back and he tries to take advantage of me and he tries to sell me an Open Box version of the TV I wanted for an extra $1000 more. I refused because I did not even break the TV! WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY 1000 EXTRA FOR SOMETHING I DID NOT EVEN BREAK INTENTIONALLY! I go back home very sad because I dont know what to do, and I go the the best buy again the next day because I had realised what had happened. The employee at the first best buy incorrectly packaged the TV and in transit, it scratched the TV. I cannot be blamed for what had happened because there was Best by tape put over the TV when the best buy I bought the TV opened it. So to say I opened it and scratched it is a very flawed statement. The best buy employee who packaged my TV can acknowledge that the TV was in prestine condition when he put the TV in the box. Now, it is a sunday and I go back to the best buy i bought the TV from and I tolde them what happened. He emailed the other best buy for "footage" and they conducted an investigation. A week goes by, and he tells me that the store has no knowledge of seeing me in that store. This makes no sense, AT ALL. They tell me they checked 3 or 4 DAYS of footage and they cant see me? what nonsense. I go to the best buy that had incorrectly packaged the TV and the manager who had gave the information denied anything we had told him. The manager who had told the employee to handle our TV that day had acknowledged we were there. I told him the exact date we came and he would check the footage AGAIN. However, he said he was gonna go on vacation and I had to wait till next week. I had no other option, so I waited. nothing happened and I called their customer service last saturday to report what had happened. I decided to bring this to the forums to make sure I can get this resolved.
The title says Broken TV incorrectly packed by best buy but I meant TV broken by best buy incorrectly packing
Hello R1968,
Thank you for joining us at the Best Buy Community forums. That sounds like a very disappointing and frustrating experience.
Under our Return & Exchange Promise damages items such as scratched televisions cannot be returned. That said, I'd like to take a look a little deeper into this for you. To do that, however, I'll need a bit of additional information about this purchase. Because we respect your privacy, I'll be reaching out to you through a private message to gather this information. You can check this message by logging in to your forum account and clicking on the orange envelope in the top right corner of the screen.

It's not often that you get to witness true compassion in action. But what this police officer did for an injured dog brought tears to my eyes.
Officer Carlos Sosa helped a dog after the dog was hit by a car on a Spanish highway. The kind-hearted police officer refused to leave the side of injured dog and gave him comfort before taking him to a veterinary medical clinic for medical attention.
Sadly, veterinarians couldn't save the dog's life and he was humanely euthanized, but Officer Sosa made sure that he didn't die on the side of the road that night. The veterinary caregivers with the dog made sure the dog knew he wasn't alone and felt love and care in his last moment before leaving this world! Thank you, Officer Sosa!
