(RNN) - Steam or hot contents that escaped from Breville pressure cookers and reportedly burned people prompted the manufacturer to recall 35,600 of them sold nationwide and to offer users free replacement lid gaskets and new instructions.
Consumers should immediately stop using the Breville 6-quart capacity pressure cookers with the model number BPR600XL and batch numbers between 1235 and 1529, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission said Tuesday in a recall alert. The model number and batch code are on the bottoms of the stainless steel pressure cookers.
If the sealing gasket is inserted upside down on the lid, built-up pressure can be released unexpectedly.
Breville USA said it has received reports that five incidents of escaping steam or hot contents have caused burns to a stomach, hands or arms.
The pressure cookers were sold at Bed, Bath and Beyond, Best Buy, Macy's, Sur la Table and Williams Sonoma stores and online at Amazon.com and BrevilleUSA.com for about $180.
The company said consumers can obtain a new sealing gasket and instructions by phoning 800-983-3165 or by completing an online form at brevilleusa.com/lidrecall.
The CPSC requests that consumers report incidents concerning the pressure cookers either online at SaferProducts.gov or by phone at 800-638-2772.
Earlier in 2015, Breville recalled pressure cookers in Australia and New Zealand in October and in Canada in November.

Die Hard 5?
First one was set in a building.
Second film was set in an airport (several buildings).
Third was in a city.
Fourth across a country.
Presumably for this film John Mclaine is going to save the world then?
No, it's a prequel.
Set in a wendy house.
- colinzealuk, TheWza, poptimusgrime, badmanreturns, and mug_mug_mug this'd this
He's a bit prominent on that Attack The Block poster on that page isn't he
I hope he's standing in front of Bruce Willis on the Die Hard one.thewarn this'd this
Joe Cornish did a Q+A at the weekend on how much he loves Die Hard
(it was before the Die Hard/Attack The Block screening at Somerset House).
I worry that the idea of Die Hard (putting a lone man in a familiar and intimate location) has been lost if you're going to set it across a whole country.

#CNY Manicure with Little Nails Castle
Today is the 15th Day of the Lunar New Year. Which means it is 元宵节 (Yuán Xiāo Jié) aka Chinese Valentine's Day / Chinese Lantern Festival! In ancient times, streets would be crowded with people trying to guess lantern riddles and matchmakers would be busy pairing up couples. The brightest lanterns were symbolic of good luck and hope.
Besides trying to find love, 湯圓 (tāng yuán – Glutinous Rice Balls) were consumed during the festival as the Chinese believes the round symbolizes harmony within a family.
In view of the festive mood of today, I would be going on a movie date with Sweetie Muffin as I clinched a pair of free Movie Tickets from Sample Store earlier and perhaps we could catch "50 Shades of Grey" since it is a much-hyped movie 🙂
So.. What is a date night without a set of nicely manicured nails right?
|Classic Gelish Manicure with Nail Art
Hence I was really excited that Little Nails Castle sponsored me with a pampering Classic Gelish Manicure session with lovely floral nail art 🙂
Little Nails CastleWebsite: www.littlenailscastle.com.sgInstagram: http://instagram.com/littlenailscastleLocation:14 Scotts Road#03-36 Far East PlazaSingapore 228213Tel: 6737 1516Whatsapp: 9151 2005Operating Hours: 11:00 – 21:00
I specially requested for floral nail art because I am fond of floral prints. Also, the manicurist decided to do an accent nail with a row of bling bling crystal tip on my ring finger which was crafted with much effort.I love how the fine silverish glitter polish looks on my accent nail!
|All ready for date night!
On-Going Promotion
You are in for some pleasant treats!! Little Nails Castle is currently running a promotion for their Express Gelish Manicure.
Each Express Gelish Manicure will now cost you only SGD18 which is very affordable as compared to the usual price of SGD30!

A revolving cast of contributors from the Music 101 and Wireless teams showcase some of the best new music releases from the past week.
Astro Children – 'Play It As It Lays'
With crispy-clean vocals and every word in its place, Astro Children's 'Play It As It Lays' reeks of Built to Spill-esque melodicism, yet the repetition turns somewhat sinister and grim.
Millie Lovelock's building of her half-mock/half-jab - 'you think there's more to me' in that creepy way older dudes corner and look deep into your eyes, and tell you their Older Dude Wisdom. She nails it. It becomes the anti-'Creep' (aka the weirdest song to watch your relations karaoke to on Singstar), projecting how it feels to be the one who is creeped on. 'I think you're watching me' comes up in various guises - from the third person 'I think my neighbour's watching me' to finally the first person, that infamous you.
We're never quite sure who you is, but it sure sounds ominous. Everything marinates for the right amount of time; we have that nervous heartbeat riff ebbing us on whilst the drums smash but never falter, until each verse is delivered with devastating finality and venom. – Eden Bradfield
Hudson Mohawke feat. Antony Hegarty – 'Indian Steps'
BBC 1 premiered a few new tracks from the new Hudson Mohawke album Lantern (due out mid-June), including this total swoonfest of a song that features the enigmatic vocals of Antony Hegarty (Antony & the Johnsons). If you're not particularly familiar with the Scottish DJ, he's held down production duties for the likes of Kanye, Drake, Azealia Banks, Pusha T, and more.
The other album tracks we've been hearing lately have been characterised as 'friendlier' than what we're used to from HudMo, and 'Indian Steps' takes that sentiment even further for a superbly easy listen. It's a warm and ethereal track that's driven in equal measure by his beat and Antony's distinct vocals. Antony's resonant tone and fragile vibrato deliver a message of longing and past-tense: "You wanted me, and I wanted you." Perhaps consider it a taste of Antony's forthcoming album Hopelessness, which HudMo co-produced.
Putting aside a problematic reference to what I assume are Native Americans ("I take Indian steps / because I don't want to wake you"), it's a beautiful - if not slightly out of character - offering. – Sarin Moddle
HalfNoise – 'Inside'
HalfNoise is the moniker of Zac Farro, a Nashville based vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. In recent years Farro has spent a lot of time in New Zealand on and off, even spending seven months here over 2013/2014 recording his debut full-length LP. Prior to all of this, he was a founding member and drummer of Paramore.
Returning earlier this year to the country, Zac worked together with producer Joel Little to create 'Inside', a sonic dreamscape featuring ethereal vocals and sampling akin to the likes of James Blake and Jamie xx. This change for Farro is certainly different coming from his debut LP. In this song he trades his drum kit for a drum machine, and guitar strings for groove laden oscillating synths. While it may feel different instrumentally, familiar HalfNoise vocal melodies ring throughout the track.
If you find yourself swooning over the sonic pleasures of 'Inside', I recommend checking out his debut full length LP from last year, Volcano Crowe. – Joshua Thomas
Adult Mom – 'Survival'
Adult Mom create a tale of acceptance through the sounds of slack. This New York based band's themes seem to surround the idea of understanding self-worth and identity. It begins with "I don't know if my mum loves me anymore" and ends with the heart-breaking line "I will not feel like a bad queer". This is an important song.
What makes 'Survival' noteworthy is the music that accompanies it. Though the vocals have that dramatic wavy croak to them, the track is chirpy. The mix is sloppy and at times, off time. A beautiful almost-'beeping' noise chimes throughout. But it's all intentional and all in good fun. Like Alvvays, Adult Mom use the silliness of the 90s to mask the hurt of prejudice that should have died back then. – Alex Lyall
Shamir – 'Hot Mess'
20-year-old Shamir apparently started making music because he wanted to be a country musician. Instead, his debut album Ratchet is an exploration of disco and house music, genres that have typically created safe spaces for gay and queer-identifying partiers. The music fits well with Shamir's genderless voice and look.
"Feel like I'm right but always wrong." Shamir sings on 'Hot Mess', the acid house ode to not fitting in. Like all good dance tracks, 'Hot Mes's features the pre-requisite cowbell, with the rest of the music built up with programmed drums and synthesizers.
The biggest LGBTQ pop anthems have largely been performed by non-gay artists (think Abba, Lady Gaga…) but here Shamir sings from his own lived experiences. He "feels so alone", but knows that he is "part of a bigger mission". Luckily for us, Shamir isn't following convention. As he sings on an earlier track, "Why not go out and make a scene?" – Ellen Falconer
Refused – 'Françafrique'
Ahead of their first album drop in 17 years, reunited Swedish punk rockers Refused have just released their second teaser track which is sure to have fans talking. A long awaited follow up from their previous album The Shape of Punk to Come, it seems that shape differs from what many fans grew to love.
The album was looking like a return to the band's intense, hardcore ways with their first single 'Elektra' released last month, but while that ticked all the boxes and showed a band back in form, 'Françafrique', while still intense and recognisably 'Refused', carries a more pop-like feel, and builds elements of funk into the bridge.
With a punchy unaccompanied beginning of children chanting "exterminate the brutes, exterminate all the brutes", a catchy electric guitar riff punches through before the word "murder" is repeated as if in the opening of a barbershop group (in a way reminiscent of something out of children's show Blue's Clues - think mail time).
I can't help but like it. Its lyrics are obviously and shamelessly political, the guitar riff combined with funky bass line leave a strong impression while the shouting vocals remind you it's Refused. It's a song that will get you nodding your head in both a curbed headbang, and a sign of yes, I can get into this. But will fans? – Tom Furley
Laurel Halo – 'Blue Notion'
Yesterday Tompkins Square released a new compilation in which artists have covered previously unheard songs and lyrics by the legendary singer Karen Dalton. Remembering Mountains: Unheard Songs by Karen Dalton features an incredible cast of female singer-songwriters, from anti-folk outsider Diane Cluck to woman-of-the-moment Sharon Van Etten, but most interesting to me is the inclusion of Laurel Halo, the boundary pushing electronic artist who would be more at home on an underground techno mix than on a tribute album to a cult folk artist.
Out of all the tracks on the album, Halo's interpretation of the song 'Blue Notion' is undoubtedly the furthest away from the music Karen Dalton may or may not have had in her head when writing these lyrics. Programmed bass drums stagger forward in jarring loops, accompanied by trickling toms and hi-hats that scatter about in the abundant aural void, all backdropped by warping synth-lines that seem to teeter on the brink of purgatory. The vocals drift naked through the soundscape, unaware and unconcerned with what is going on around them. It is a song of loss, of watching life slip through your hands, whole-heartedly believing that you're too inadequate to stop it, to even attempt to slow down the inevitable implosion.
Despite being so stylistically far away from Dalton's own music, the piece manages to perfectly capture the pain and tragedy at the heart of everything she recorded in her short musical career. There's a rawness to it, a gaping wound unmasked and almost tangible, brushing past fingertips, just beyond our grasp. It is infinitely honest but hides something huge and futile. This is 21st century blues.
Laurel Halo has masterfully opened up the windows to let these words breathe, and we can only hope the torment they encapsulate is somehow eased by the fresh air and fresh ears. – Luke Owen Smith.
Jamie xx feat. Young Thug and Popcaan – 'I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)'
Widely known in hip hop circles for his production on Drake and Rihanna's 'Take Care', Jamie xx brings us another solid single in the lead up to the drop of his next album In Colour. Featuring Young Thug, who is on fire right now after the release of Barter 6, the track is fresh and catchy and could be one of the songs of the year.
Jamie xx recently told XXL Magazine that Young Thug has a weird style, but he loves what he does with his voice - the highlight here though comes from Jamaican dancehall artist Popcaan and the island/summer elements xx incorporates into the production. – Aleyna Martinez

The following document is a conclusion of Siera Vercillo's research conducted over a three month Immersion Experience in Northern Region, Ghana. The statistics provided are originating from formal research conducted by EWB. The statements made are based on her analysis of qualitative research conducted in the field. Her findings are based on the limits of her experience and are by no means the exact truth on the ground.
Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) Ghana Policy
The main objective of MoFA is to alleviate poverty and increase food security through the agricultural sector by reaching the majority of people who are subsistence and smallholder farmers. The rationale for this is so government is better able to cater service provision to a larger proportion of those living in poverty and suffering from food scarcity in Ghana.
MoFA is a major player in both internally owned and foreign donor projects as an implementer at the district level. Projects choose to work with MoFA because it has a reputation as being the institution with the longest history working with local communities and its respective farmers, while providing a cheaper service relative to other implementers. A criticism that is often made regarding being a major implementer at the district level is that MoFA staff are often over burdened with too many contrasting roles and objectives, effecting their overall schedule and output. Despite this MoFA districts continue to take on the responsibility of project work because it provides them with additional funds and resources required of beneficial extension provision.
As an EWB Team working in Ghana, we need to acknowledge the constraints our partners, such as MoFA are confined by and work within that system to accomplish our goals of technology adoption for more appropriate and improved extension services to farmers. Working within the system, however is different than working against it. We will have to decide as a team what our focus will be – to progress extension (in any system) or work towards a more enabling environment for MoFA's extension service provision (or additional partner organizations). Depending on the resources available it would be possible to work towards both, however I anticipate a strategic difficulty in moving forward. Developing one off innovations that adapt extension so it encourages greater behavior change is not necessarily contributing to direct systemic change, especially if those innovations are unrelated to government services.
Specific policies MoFA National has set targets for and MoFA districts are working towards:
• Provide agricultural service delivery
• Public-private facilitation
• Facilitate capacity of human resources
• Facilitation of research and technology development
• Facilitation of linking agriculture and industry
• Facilitate integration of cross cutting issues like gender equity
• Facilitate international trade and domestic marketing of commodities
• Coordinate and enforce regulations & partnership activities and policies
Throughout the research conducted during the immersion experience, discussion around coordination and harmonization of donor projects and implementers have continually been raised as an area of concern and needed improvement. Having a better idea of the major players in the field would allow our EWB Team AgEX to better influence for coordinated efforts. This would contribute greatly to systemic change.
Extension Services at MoFA District Level
Agriculture Extension Agent (AEA) Snapshot:
An AEA is appointed to his position for life by MoFA National. Once hired, the AEA can be posted anywhere. The diversity across the country implies that sometimes an AEA lacks knowledge of the local language and customs, making integration required of an AEA in a community more difficult. It is possible to be recruited by a specific office through recommendations, but the letter of offer requires the signature of a chief executive member. To be hired by MoFA as an AEA a minimum certificate from an Agricultural College is required. Having a university level degree proves possibility to move directly into working above the AEA position to a supervisory position, such as a DAO. Despite this possibility and supervisory role, many supervisors or 'DAOs' work directly to provide extension because of resource constraints.
An AEA's work plan and schedule is normally based on national level programs, in addition to community demands. This requires knowledge and records of what farmers are doing in collaboration of sharing that knowledge to other staff. AEAs work around national level programs and adapt their schedule and extension methods to be more suitable for the farmers they cater towards. This is needed to demonstrate results for reporting back to MoFA National and other NGO based projects. For example, in the Block Farm program or Youth in Agriculture (YIA), an AEA might choose to work with individual farmers as opposed to farming based organizations (FBOs).
On average an AEA,
• Works 5.8 hours per day, travels 47.6 km and interacts with 15 people;
• 30% of AEAs average day was delivering technical advice on planting distances or applying fertilizer as well as monitoring application for good agriculture practices;
• 17-21% of the time AEAs had help or were helping beneficiary farmers;
• Majority of time spent was interacting in the field while measuring and demarcating plots 35-68% of the time;
• Interacting with farmer groups doing administrative, supervision, inputs 31%-26% of time;
o Farmer groups has average 15 members and 65% were male;
• 29% of the AEAs' time interacted with individual farmers and 80% of which were male to measure and demarcate plots for YIA (Block Farm);
• Majority 70-75% of the average day spent administrating, facilitating and implementation of national incentives or development partner projects;
• 45-71% spent on enabling farmer access to development partners;
• Majority of time was spent on National level projects leaving less than 1% of time dedicated to responding to local farmer needs.
Constraints to Extension at MoFA:
Averages that projects base their design on, such as when to test soil or plant seeds can vary from local customary good agricultural practices because of diversity across the country and various regions. The experiments are usually conducted based on project level work. Project level work implemented by MoFA dictates when activities occur and is based on national and sometimes regional averages. Projects can be mismanaged or lack coordination affecting the timing of when experiments and activities occur. Timing in agriculture is absolutely critical and planting even two weeks late will have a tremendous affect on the results of yields.
Possible Solution: release funding on time and have triggers in place to cancel activities and provide back up in case funding is not released. This will hope to ensure that the time and trust of farmers with extension agents and MoFA is not compromised. This lack of coordination and poor timing actually works against technology adoption.
The expectation from farmers that things will come for free is a serious concern for any internally implemented activity. Many donor projects provide monetary incentives or other items for free in order to reward farmers for participation, being refreshments at meetings or tractor services. This is problematic as it does not sustain activities advised after project completion and changes the expectations of farmers for when AEAs provide any other type of service outside of donor projects. The reality is that MoFA does not have the resources to provide these types of incentives nor should they. The advisory services and prospect for improving farming productivity provided by extension services should be incentive enough. It is not sustainable to be providing things for free (keeping in mind credit is often perceived as something for free) as an incentive to adopt new practices.
AEAs can lack communication and participatory approaches in their work as formal education and employer resource constraints confine their knowledge and ability. For example, in Ghana the process for how certain people are chosen for decision making and communication in villages is not taught during the training or education of an AEA. Also, coming at the right time for when farmers need, not when projects or AEAs dictate, tend to be constrained in practice due to the way resources and incentives are allocated at the MoFA district level.
Limited access to services by female operators is a serious concern to advisory services provided as cultural and social constraints define women, AEAs and the work they do. Male AEAs (the majority) complain about what they cannot provide to women farmers and community members as their social context will not allow them. Social constraints on women often disallow them to participate the way their male counterparts do with an AEA.
Employee frustration due to lack of support from MoFA (fuel and motorcycles),
o the fuel allowances that are not provided on time (at the moment 8 months late)
o no motorcycle updates or other materials provided,
o no appropriate accommodations available in operational areas,
o low salaries,
o insufficient education development offered – many AEA claim there is not enough service training and learning materials,
o mis-communication and contradictions in what should be training farmers on
Directors decide which activities and projects to focus extension service provision. The process for this is fairly time consuming, complicated and seems to take up the majority of a Directors time. For example, to focus on crop diversification to develop the agricultural sector at the district level, a Director will write a proposal for an activity (demonstration plot) that a donor will have to pay for since MoFA National might not have allocated money for this. The Director believes based on his staff's knowledge that this activity is greatly needed for the development of his district. Since the money provided for these activities is insufficient (or not at all) he has to lobby outside for more. There are projects or activities that are paid for by a MoFA district office, but the money is often tied by MoFA National, effecting the implementation of activities. In addition, this proposal and report writing and accountability meetings to attract and maintain donor project activities and expectations seems to take up the majority time of management staff. Perhaps, a reallocation of responsibilities within the District would be an intervention to test.
Intervention Idea: Coordinate extension services by MoFA staff within and across districts to efficiently maximize resources. Specifically, coordinate the extension provided by other districts that overlap. How is extension coordinated or best practices shared if general extension (even outside project work) is not necessarily a main priority?
Intervention Idea: Peer-peer learning:: those farmers who completed a project will demonstrate to other farmers success of technologies and good agricultural practices. Fostering Peer – Peer learning and sharing of knowledge and resources is what EWB can develop as an innovation. Farmers who wish to try and share resources will work together to try different things. The farmers share the knowledge and have an impact on the community. An AEA will simply play a facilitator and match makers role (matching farmers with peers).
Intervention Idea: Farmer Selection – using Farmer Field Forums (FFFs) FFFs is a seasonal long set of activities with particular topics for impact points. An intervention can use FFFs to convince farmers to participate and use technologies. Using FFFs particular farmers can be picked who arere interested in learning new techniques. The FFFs have been critical to success before asking farmers to adopt new technologies, however there needs to be different knowledge sessions on all sorts of topics, outside of simple technologies application. Topics around attitudes and mindset development for instance.
Intervention Idea: Sensitization meetings at the officeto allow for farmers to be aware of details in a program and build their confidence. These tend to only be successful if farmers trust and have rapport. An exchange of ideas with researchers and other stakeholders (more participatory) leaving it open so farmers can share with each other and make suggestions would also be useful.
Common Barriers Farmers Struggle With
• Low use of improved seeds and fertilizers (limited access, high cost)
• Poor soil health (low application of technologies)
• Lack of land access
• Poor crop management practices and timely field preparation
• Reliance on rain fed production (limited irrigation and water management knowledge)
• Insufficient agricultural marketing system (lack of outlets, harvest losses: storage facilities, limited processing skills and facilities)
• High transaction costs (inadequate road and transport infrastructure, small volumes varied in quality, poor bargaining power, lack of institutional infrastructure and inability to aggregate produce)
• Limited access to credit (high interest, collateral requirements and low investments in agriculture by creditors)
Technology Adoption Constraints
Technology adoption is seen as one poverty alleviation strategy in a broader sense. Most agriculture projects in Ghana and across Africa are about poverty alleviation and nutritional improvements. Better yields implies increased income of farmers. EWB's value add in this approach is that we are working on the ground in the field developing a better understanding of what farmer realities and implementation failures are. And to this reality we bring critical thinking and quick interventions to inform other programs.
Currently, technology adoption is coming from an economic based perspective, which assumes that farmers are rational all the time. The truth is that this is not always the case. Social constraints, level of education and other components that shape and affect farmer behaviours that might be different from non-farmer behaviours. It is farmer behavior, attitudes and on the ground realities that upper level decision makers (donors and central government) do not necessarily account for when making decisions that affect services meant to assist farmers. This is due to not only a lack of understanding of farmer beahviour and on the ground realities, but also a lack of incentive to account for them – political and other competitive incentives are more influential. A farmer first approach is defined as looking to improve farmer's extension services as opposed to the extension services provided by MoFA.
Agricultural best practices cannot just be carbon copied from other places in the world where it once worked since a specific situation and context contribute significantly to the success of the best practice. This supports EWB's team strategy in our rapid-prototyping and searching approach to new interventions, testing and using what works.

The Sky Crane iPad & Tablet Floor Stand is the most advanced, adjustable, lightweight, stable, user-friendly tablet floor stand available on the market today.
Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. (PRWEB) September 22, 2015
There's no doubt that the introduction of the Apple iPad in 2010, followed closely thereafter by the Android Tablet, marked an important departure in the way people the world over conduct their lives. Utilized for everything from communicating via email or chat to locating a nearby posh restaurant, ordering theater tickets, reading a favorite magazine or the latest best-seller, gaming, listening to favorite music, updating a photo album, engaging in social media, catching up on world news, or simply watching a favorite show or movie, iPads and Tablets are powerful tools that have literally transformed the way many people go about their daily lives.
As is often the case, such ingenuity and advancement tends to come with some sort of cost or downside. It seems that griping these cumbersome devices in all sorts of contorted positions, for hours on end each day, can expose unwitting users to an array of physical ailments, ranging from carpal tunnel injuries, to newly introduced maladies, such as text neck and iPad shoulder.
Beyond such physical rigors, there's the reality of never getting quite comfortable, or worse yet, having to be constantly on guard not to lose "the grip." While few admit it, who hasn't had the experience of laying on a cozy couch or in bed enjoying a good read, perhaps listening to their favorite tunes, only to doze off and then be abruptly awakened as their iPad or Tablet first ricochets off their face and then loudly clatters across the floor?
Recognizing that health and enjoyment are equally important components when it comes to fully leveraging the benefits of iPad and Tablet devices, LapWorks, a leader in creating ergonomically-focused mobility accessory products, decided it was time to take the physical and mental stress out of the equation by creating a hands-free solution – the LapWorks Sky Crane. Created as a floor-based viewing stand for iPad and Tablet devices, the Sky Crane provides users with a safe, secure and comfortable way to utilize and enjoy their devices hands free.
Imagine if an iPad or Tablet could be where the user wanted it, when they wanted it, in the perfect position – floating in front of them with no effort on their part. What if it could hover over the user as they laid in bed watching a movie, or if it could be positioned in front of them at eye level as they sat on the couch, worked at their desk or in the kitchen? The Sky Crane does all of that, and more.
Surprisingly lightweight yet durable, boasting rock solid "All Steel" construction and a unique design incorporating a tripod base and folding legs, the Sky Crane offers users unmatched stability and adjustability. The first thing a user notices when pulling the unit out of the box is the sheer number of adjustable locking levers. The Sky Crane is designed with five points of adjustment, enabling it to be easily manipulated for perfect positioning. It can be used to cantilever over a desk, a bed or a lounger, yet remain stable with its counter-balanced arm that can extend up to 24 inches and angles 180 degrees for perfect positioning. The telescoping pedestal, which rises up to 56 inches – 76 inches with the arm angled vertically – can accommodate a variety of viewing positions and options, whether standing, sitting or lying down.
When it comes to usability and protecting an iPad or Tablet, the holding bracket is quick and easy to use, lined with hard rubber non-slip pads and incorporating strong, reliable spring-loaded arms with hard rubber corner captures that are guaranteed not to scratch mobile device surfaces. The unique corner capture system locks into place and never fails. It allows users to select which corners of the mobile device are covered, so buttons, ports and cameras remain available for use.
The Sky Crane's holding bracket stretches from 7.75 to 12.75 inches and easily secures tablets with 7" to 10.50" screens. With a maximum depth of 0.5 inch, it can accommodate thicker devices, as well as newer tablets in a case. The unit boasts a ball-joint swivel that rotates 360 degrees, enabling easy switching from portrait to landscape, or anywhere between. Overall, the Sky Crane's unique holding bracket design makes the unit effortless to use – attaching and removing an iPad or Tablet can be done in mere seconds.
Bottom line, the Sky Crane iPad & Tablet Floor Stand, available in pure white or black satin finish, is the most advanced, adjustable, lightweight, stable, user-friendly tablet floor stand available on the market today. It keeps tablets secure, helps fight fatigue and cramping, reduces tablet heat by as much as 10 degrees, and delivers a hands free, hassle free, comfortable user experiences with each and every use.
LapWorks' Sky Crane iPad & Tablet Floor Stand is now available online. The regular retail price is $139.95, but it's currently offered at the discounted price of $119.95, available with free Super Saver Shipping. For more information visit the manufacturer's website at http://www.laptopdesk.net.

(Oircuit Court, N. D. CctHjornia.
July 27,1891.)
In an action of ejectment in the United States circuit court, plaintiff alleged that it derived title to the lands from acts and grants of congress, and that defendant denied the validity of those grants. Defendant answered adillitting the validity of the acts and grants, and claimed that the land in controversy lay outside of the grants. Held, that no federal question was presented, and the action must be dismissed.
At Law. Action of ejectment by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company against Horace Whittaker. Joseph D. Redding, for plaintiff. A. R. Cot/em, for defendant.
HAWLEY, J., (orally.) This is a suit in ejectment to oust defendant from certain lands situate in Tulare county, Cal., to which plaintiff claims title under the provisions of section 3 of the act of congress of July 27.1866, grantinp; lands to aid in the construction of railroads. 14 U. S. St. 294. The plaintiff alleges, among other things, "that the plaintiff derives its title to said land and premises from acts and grants and laws of congress of the United States of America, and the defendant denies the validity of said grants of the said land, and of the said acts, and of the said laws." To the amended complaint 'the defendant interposed a plea in abatement, and averred that the court "ought not to take and have jurisdiction or cognizance" of this suit upon the ground (1) that said plaintiff and defendant are both citizens of the state of California; (2) that defendant "does not deny the validity of any or either of the acts, grants, or laws of congress to which reference is made in the amended complaint." This plea was referred to the master in chancery to take the testimony and report to the court as to the sufficiency of the plea. The master filed his report to the effect that the plea was good upon the first ground as to the citizenship of the parties, but declined to act upon the second ground, as no answer had been filed. The exceptions taken to this report by the defendant were overruled. Defendant, having filed his answer, now moves the court to dismiss the suit upon the ground that the issues presented by the pleadings do not raise any dispute or controversy properly within the jurisdiction of this court to determine. The answer, among other things, denies "that said land and premiaes are, or that any part thereof is, within the limits of said grant under said act of congress," and admits the validity of all of the acts, and laws of congress mentioned in said amended complaint; but the defendant contends that none of the land in controversy was included in any of said grants. It is evident, from an inspection of the pleadings, that the other denials in the answer to the other allegations of the complaint are governed and controlled by the admissions above referred to, and are based v.471<'.no.8-.'34
vol. 47.
solely upon the ground, as alleged, that the land in question is not within the limits of the grant under which plaintiff claims title. To maintain the jurisdiction of this court, it must clearly and affirmatively appear from the pleadings that there will arise some contested point of law or fact, depending upon the constitution of the United States, or of the construction, operation, or effect of some statute of the United States. TraJton v. Nougucs, 4 Sawy. 178; McFadden v. Robinson, 10 Sawy. 400, 22 Fed. Rep. 10; Hambleton v. Duham, 10 Sawy. 489, 22 Fed. Rep. 465; 1'heurkrwf v. Ireland, 27 Rep. 769; State v.

REMOVAL OF CAUSES-MoTION TO REMAND-'EvIDENCE.
" On a motion to rem$<\ld aicae.e sought to be brought to a federal court from a state court by removal, when.it is alleged the record of the state court misstates the facts because of an'error on the part of a'ministerial officer of the state court in making up the reoorll, va,rol testimony is competent to show the fact, t\lough the same may contradict the record as made up by the clerk.
SAME-CI'rrZENSHIP OF CORPORA'rIONs. '
The St. LOUis & 'San Francisco Railroad Company was first ¢hartered by the state of Missouri. Then it was adopted as a corporation of Arkansas. Such adoption does not take away its character as a Missouri corporation, and, as such, the same , isa citizen of the state:of 1\1Ji'lsonri, and, as a citizeIl; pf sucnstate,' when sued by a citizen of Arkansas in a state court of Arkansas, it may, secure the removal of a suit to the federal court. ',' , ' , ' .,' ',
(SyUabus by the Court.)
At Law. Walker, Walker & Walker and Roger8& Read, for plaintiff. B. R. Davidso'/1, and Clayton, Br!izzolara & Forrooter, for defendant.
PARKER, . J. This is a suit for the recovery of damages of the defendant, which was brought in the circuit court of the state of Arkansas for Washington county; and, as a foundation for damages, the plaintiff states that he bought a tickeh)f defendant's agent, authorizing him, as a' passenger, to pass over said road in defendant's rars from 81. Louis, in Missouri, to'Newburg,in sa:id state, a ,distance of 120 miles; that the agents and servants of defendant, acting for it, before he had, reached the end of hisjoprney, to-wit,at'St. Louis, wrongfully, forcibly,and unlawfully forced, drove, threw, and expelled the said plaintiff from the cars of defendant;' that they struck,beat; kicked, choked, and wounded him; that they tore his clothes, and prevented him from: riding in defendant's carsj that he was pre>lentodfrom completing his journey. For this the plain.
tiff claimed damages to the amount of $4,999. On the 15th of May, 1891, defendant filed a petition and the necessary bond with the circuit clerk of Washington county for the removal of the case to this court. On the same day plaintiff asked permission of the court, and was allowed, to amend his complaint, so that the amount of damages prayed for would be $1,999. By the record as made up by the clerk it appears that on the 15th of May, 1891, the plaintiff asked leave to amend his complaint by striking out the sum of $4,999, as the amount of damages claimed by the plaintiff, and to insert in lieu thereof the sum of$1,999, "which [as the record recites] is by the court granted, and it is ordered that the same be so amended." The record further recites:
"Whereupon comes the defendant, and files its answer, and also files and presents to tlle court its petition and bond in due form of law, praying ill said petition to transfer this cause to the United States court for the western district of Arkansas, which petition is by the court denied, for the reason that the amount of damages claimed by plaintiff in his amended complaint herein is not in amount sufficient to authorize such transfer to said United States court. "
The defendant obtained a transcript of the proceedings, and on July 21, 1891, filed the same in this court. The plaintiff filed his motion to remand the cause to the state court, because-First, the amount in controversy is less than $2,000; and, second, because the court has no jurisdiction over the parties to this action. To sustain the first cause the plaintiff claims that the amendment to the complaint, changing the amount of damages prayed for so that it was less than $2,000, was made prior to the time the defendant. filed its petition and bond for removal, so that at the time of filing the same the amount was not sufficient to authorize a removal. The record, as set out above, shows that petition and bond for removal were filed after the amendment changing the amount of damages had been made. The defendant says this is not correct; that the petition and bond for removal were filed about 1:30 o'clock P. M. on the 15th of May; that the amendment was not asked for and was not made until between ,rj and 6 o'clock of the afternoon of that day. The petition for removal, which is a part of the record, states" that the matter and amount in dispute in the above-entitled exceeds, exclusive of costs, the sum of $2,000." The clerk of the court (Mr. Scott) was called as a witness by the defendant, and he testified, on the hearing of the motion to remand, that the petition and bond for removal were filed at about 1: 30 o'clock P. M. on the 15th of May, and that the order about 5 o'clock P. M. of that amending the complaint was not made day. The plaintiff claims this evidence cannot be heard against the record of the state court, because it cannot be attacked by parol evidence. This is not a collateral attack of the record,-that is, where a thing done is questioned in an independent proceeding; but it iii an attack upon its correctness in the same case, and as though it was made in the same court which made the'record. This proceeding stands as though it was a motion made in the same court which made the record to correct the same because a mistake had been made, for this court takes up the case where the state
court left off, and proceeds in it as that court would have proceeded. The effort here is to make the record speak the truth as to what was done, upon the suggestion that its ministerial officer by mistake has not correctly recorded the proceedings in the order in which they occurred. When this is sought to be done, the fact of the error having been committed may be shown by parol evidence. Jenkins v. Long, 23 Ind. 460; Brown v. Van Deuzer, 10 Johns. 51; Trafton v. Rogers, 13 Me. 315; 2 Whart. Ev. § 983. This being the rule, under it the evitlence of the clerk is admissible. He states as a witness that the amendment to the complaint reducing the amount of damages claimed below $2,000 was not made by the court until some time after 5 o'clock P. M:. of the 15th day of May last, and that the petition and bond for removal were filed about 1: 30 o'clock P. M. of that day. This Evidence of the clerk is streogthened by the petition for removal. I must take the fact that this amount of $1,999 was not the amount claimed in the complaint at the time of the filing of the petition and bond for removal as being established, and that at that time the amount was in excess of $2,000. The case as made by the complaint, and as it stood at the time of the filing of the petition and bond for removal, is the test of the right to a removal. Graves v. Corbin, 132 U. S. 571,10 Sup. Ct. Rep. 196; Jackson v. Allen, 132 U. S. 27, 10 Sup. Ct. Rep. 9. If the amount was $2,000 at 1 :30 o'clock P. M., when defendant filed its petition and bond for removal, and the other fact in the shape of the proper citizenship of the parties existed at that time, the effect was to work a removal of the case, and the rightful jurisdiction of the state court over the case ceased eo instanti. Section 75, c. 17, Dill. Rem. Causes. When the right of removal has become perfect, it cannot be taken away by a subsequent amendment in the state court, such as by a release of part of the debt or damages. Mayor v. Cooper, 6 "Vall. 250; Penrose v. Penrose, 1 Fed. Rep. 479; Dill. Rem. Causes, c. 18, § 75. As far as amount is concerned, it was sufficient, under the law, to give the defendant the right of removal at the time it filed its petition and bond. But plaintiff in his motion sets out that the court has no jurisdiction of the parties. This is because the defendant is a corporation of the state of Arkansas, and the petition for removal shows that plaintiff is a citizen of Arkansaa. The complaint also alleges that the defendant is a citizen of Missouri. This court held in James v. Railroad Co., 46 Fed. Rep. 47, that defendant, a corporation of Missouri, had, by virtue of the act .of the Arkansas legislature of March 13, 1889, become also a corporation of Arkansas. But did this act make it any less a corporation of Missouri, by which state it was first incorporated? The fact that the defendant holds and exercises chartered powers by the common legislation of two states, and.exercises a common citizenship of those states, does not destroy its right as a citizen of Missouri, for it does not take away the fact of its citizenship in such state. Horne v. Railroad Co., 62 N. H. 454, and Borne v. Railroad Co., 18 Fed. Rep. 50; Railway 00. v. Whitton, 13 Wall. 270. The reasoning of the court in Chicago &W. 1. R. Co. v. Lake Shore & M. S. R. Co., 5 Fed. Rep. 19, and in UphOff v. Railway Co., Id. 545,
and Nashua & L. R. Corp. v. Boston & L. R. Corp., 136 U. S.356, 10 Sup. Ct. Rep. 1004, as I conceive, fully sustains the above position. The supreme court in the last-named case said: "From the cases we have cited. it is evident that, by the general law. rail. road companies created by two or more states, though joined in their interests, in the operations of their roads, in lhe issue of their stock, and in the division of their profits, so as practically to pe a single corporation, do not lose their identity, and that each one has its existence and its standing in the courts of the country only by virtue of the legislation of tbe state by which it is created." The effect of the legislation of Arkansas making the defendant a corporation of the state of Arkansas cannot be so construed as to take away the right of the defendant, created by law a citizen of Missouri, from going into the federal court, or hindering a citizen from bringing a suit against it in such courts, as to do so would be an exercise of power by the legislature of the state, which, under the constitution of the United States, belongs alone to congress,-that of defining the jurisdiction of the federal courts. I believe the situation of the parties in the case is such that jurisdiction exists in this court. The motion to remand will be overruled.
(Oh'cuit Court, N. D. Ne'w York. October 8,1891.)
The presentation of a petition and bond for the'removal of a cause to the federal court, to a justice of the state court in vacation, and, on his declining to act thereon, filing them in the office of the clerk of the county, is not a compliance with the removal act, (Act Congo March 3,1887.) which requires that "the state court" shall have an opportunity to act on the petition; and such proceeding will not effect the removal.
At Law. J. K. Hayward, for the motion. R. E. Thomas, opposed.
COXE, J. This is a motion by the defendant to compel the plaintiff's attorney to receive the defendant's answer. The motion is opposed on the ground that the action is pending in the supreme court of the state of New York and was never removed to this court. The summons and complaint were served on the 16th of June, 1891. By the provisions of the New York Code the defendant had 20 davs thereafter in which to answer or demur. The last day to answer, the;efore, was July 6, 1891. It was also the last day on which the cause could be removed to this court. Section 3, Act March 3, 1887, (corrected August 13, 1888,) 25 S1. at Large, 433. Ou the 27th of June, 1891, the defendant presented a petition for removal and a bond to a justice of the state court. The affidavits in opposition to the motion state that there was no court on

One of the most difficult things about owning a garage and working on your own cars is keeping the surface of the floor clean and workable. Using garage floor coverings is the easiest way to make sure that you have the best looking and safest garage around. The three main options for garage floor coverings are mats, tiles, and cement sealants. Each one has its own individual benefits, but they are all very helpful at maintaining the look of your garage.
First off, the most popular style of garage floor coverings are garage mats. These are generally constructed of high-density rubber that can withstand a great deal of weight, wear, and tear. While they are usually larger than garage tiles as far as both thickness and surface area is concerned, they are surprisingly affordable and moveable. They are easily washable and stain resistant to protect the look of your shop.
The second most popular options for garage floor coverings are garage tiles. These tiles are constructed generally from incredibly dense plastic or molded rubber. Since they lock together, it is easier to replace a single tile than to replace an entire mat. If you manage to spill a substance on one of the tiles, it is easy to remove it, wash off the affected area, and place it back without having to move a large portion of the floor.
Third, when considering garage floor coverings, many Toronto consumers decide to have a professional apply a cement or concrete sealant to the surface of the cement slab. Since cement is a very porous substance, it has the tendency to absorb fluids and make it incredibly difficult to clean them out. The sealants fill in all of the gaps and tiny holes in the concrete to make the surface more durable. While this is not as good looking as a mat or garage tiles, it is much more simplistic.

The U.S. Secret Service pushed back Monday against a bizarre report that one of its agents body-slammed a Chinese security official after White House Chief of Staff John Kelly got into a scuffle during a trip to Beijing last year.
The fracas erupted after Chinese security officials blocked a U.S. military aide carrying the nuclear football from entering Beijing's Great Hall of the People with President Trump on Nov. 9, five people familiar with the event told Axios. The military aide who carries the football — a small bag containing the nation's nuclear codes — is supposed to always stay by the President's side.
As the Chinese officials kept blocking the aide with the football, a second U.S. official rushed into a nearby room to alert Kelly about what was going on, the sources said.
Kelly came over and reportedly told the American officials, "We're moving in."
A Chinese official subsequently tried to grab Kelly, but Kelly wouldn't have it and shoved the man's hand off, according to the sources. A U.S. Secret Service agent who stood nearby intervened and tackled the Chinese official to the ground.
The commotion was over in a matter of seconds, but the head of the Chinese security detail nonetheless ended up apologizing to the American delegation, sources said. White House officials briefed on the matter were reportedly told to not speak about the bizarre brawl.
The Secret Service downplayed the allegations Monday.
"A U.S. Secret Service agent quickly intervened and a short scuffle ensued," spokesman Cody Starken told the Daily News in a statement. "The individual complied with the agent's directions and no further action was necessary. At no time did anyone fall to the ground."
The White House declined to comment, referring to the Secret Service statement.
The nuclear football is a small black briefcase that a military aide always brings along on overseas White House trips in the event that the President would need to use the nation's strategic defense system.
The football brawl report comes as Kelly is already under mounting scrutiny over his handling of a domestic abuse scandal involving two ex-White House aides.

Handicrafts of Pakistan are famous for their uniqueness, assortment and quality standards and therefore have established its status within and outside the country. From last few years, handicraft business has flourished remarkably due to high demand of handicraft products like floor coverings, antiques, decorative items, furniture, garments, home furnishing etc. These products can be made from wood and also from synthetic material. High demand attracts many firms to enter in this market. Few firms have started business in urban area while others have established business in rural area. Suppose, Waqar group of industries, a new entrant in handicraft industry, starts business in rural area. This industry manufactures handicrafts from pure wood. Handicraft manufacturing through synthetic material leads to environmental degradation. That's why environment ministry has imposed a tax on the handicraft industry involved in manufacturing of all kinds of synthetic products.
Keeping in view the above scenario, give answers of following questions with proper reasoning.
- How would imposition of tax on synthetic products affect Waqar group of industries in particular and overall handicrafts industry in general?
- Given that Waqar group of industries is working in rural area, which economic benefits this industry would get in the long run? Give answer by using concepts of long-run production and cost theory.
IDEA Solution:
1-Waqar Group is working in Rural area so maybe the percentage of TAX will be low,however tax will not effect of supply or demand.But it will effect on price.
2-Ecnomic Benifit will be low cost Labour.
Tax is imposed on synthetic products, Waqar group is using pure wood, tax should not effect Waqar group directly. If they are using some synthetic material, it would effect but very less or minor.
The rural area, government gives reduced tax packages. Raw material (wood) is cheap and easily available Labor cost will be less. Less cost of raw material transportation. Waqar group can operate as cost reduction industry and get benefits of low cost production.

My Envision LCD Monitor wont turn on when i power up my computer. All i see is a yellow light on the screen power button. I try to hit the power button on the monitor and it turns on but doesn't display windows xp log in screen. So i manually have to hit the power button on the computer to shut it down, then i powder it back up and the monitor becomes in sync with the computer and goes through boot up like it should.
Do know whats causing this? It happens every other day but not all the time.
ATI X1950 Pro video card
Your system credentials indicate you have an Asus p4p800 motherboard which according to what I could find on the net is a Socket 478 motherboard with an AGP slot.
The ATI X1950Pro graphics card seems to be PCIe X16
Would you please clarify exactly what system you are running this card in and include full spec of the powersupply as I suspect you have a PSU issue
Goin' Fishin' (Some day)
The ATI X1950Pro is NOT a PCI card. They made both, PCI and AGP versions. My version is the AGP 8x version. It is impossible to fit a PCI card inside a AGP slot with-out doing heavy modifications.
My power supply is 550 watts i believe, plenty enough for what i am running.
Like it i said, it does this maybe once every 2 days. I shut down my computer about 2 times a day or at least send it to power sleep mode.
do you think it might be the actual monitor failing? Bad driver? Bad bios driver? Today it took like 6 different attempts to turn on the monitor :(
I think it has to do something with my BIOS or windows xp boot up mode. I notice again today that the keyboard light didn't even come on. (usually it comes on by welcome screen) I am thinking it didn't even past the post part.
Anybody know any boot up repair commands but for merged SATA hard drives?
Should i also do a bios flash?

31st Dec 2009
I was leaving to Goa, my train was to arrive at 1:00 p.m. at Majestic Railway Station. Finishing the last minute work at office it was almost 11:15 a.m. I avidly rushed, collected my luggage that was dumped at the security, and sped out as fast as i could. Firstly, it was an odd travel. A train from b'lore to hubli and than another one from hubli to Goa. Almost 18 hrs.
Not bad, for people who like travelling and train journey is fun. A good experience.
Somehow i managed to catch the train right on time. it was 1.00 p.m. and me and the train just arrived together at the platform 🙂
It was a hot afternoon. As the train started moving, and me, all by myself, gazing through the window with my ipod playing my favs, all lost in my own dreams. Next day i was going to celebrate a New Year with my best buddies at the best place! Those golden old days flashed in front of my eyes.
The train was passing by the villages, we were out of the busy city. Now it was a serene landscape.
As i looked out of the window, the train was passing by the lush green fields, it was a huge farmland with a mixture of sugar canes and some paddy, fresh grass with dark & light shades of green. At the back i could see rows of coconut trees swaying gently with the wind with the unending mountain range standing up forming a background. Farmers were at their work beating the hay, layering the ground, splashing water at the paddy. A clear blue sky covered the landscape. Amazing gods creations!
I could feel the gentle cool breeze that helped me proceed further in my fantastic dreamland. With my ipod playing the best of melodies it was a perfect moment which instantly reminded me of that solitary reaper. She was single in the field, fair complexioned, light eyes, silky brown hair. As she worked in the field, cutting and binding grains, she sang a beautiful melancholy with her sweet voice fading in the air. Her voice was more welcomed than any chant of the nightingale.Even a cuckoo bird never sang with a voice so thrilling. A man waited far enough not to disturb the girlie. He eagerly wants to know what she is singing about. Is it about some old far-off things? or is it about the country side battles? or the simple familiar matters of today? Nothing could equal the beauty of her voice.
As the sun sets, so the voice of the solitary reaper and as he moved up the hill, he carried her song in his heart long after he could no longer hear it!
Thudd!!!! i came out of my dream as my train stopped at some station quite unfamiliar to me. O boy!! Yes, and i realized i had just visualized my all time favorite poem "A solitary Reaper by William Wordsworth" i had learnt in my 7th std 🙂
Gosh! what a flashback! i was pleased to remember this beautiful piece.I smiled at myself – a solitary traveller dreamgirl!!
Here is the poem:
Behold her, single in the field,
Yon solitary Highland Lass !
Reaping and singing by herself ;
Stop here, or gently pass !
Alone she cuts and binds the grain,
And sings a melancholy strain ;
O listen ! for the vale profound
Is overflowing with the sound.
No nightingale did ever chant
More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travellers in some shady haunt,
Among Arabian sands :
A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
In spring-time from the cuckoo-bird,
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides.
Will no one tell me what she sings ? –
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
For old, unhappy, far-off things,
And battles long ago :
Or is it some more humble lay,
Familiar matter of to-day ?
Some natural sorry, loss, or pain,
That has been, and may be again ?
Whate'er the theme, the maiden sang
As if her song could have no ending ;
I saw her singing at her work,
And o'er the sickle bending ; –
I listened, motionless and still ;
And, as I mounted up the hill,
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.
I reached hubli station at 9.30 p.m. and the next train was to arrive at 11.00 p.m. well, not a surprise it came 1.5 hrs late
I waited at the station till 12.30 a.m. wished myself "A Happy New Year 2010" 🙂

For the first time in days my stomach is OK, just wish my left knee would start to play ball occassionally.
Have not practiced too much since Friday because of my guts, been trying out various backbend tactics suggested by Yoga Chickie, with some success and hoped this would help to open my stomach.
A few more there than last week, so we did the standing postures and seated up to Navasana before delving in to the new world of second series. I like its emphasis on the backbends, which hopefully will improve my Primary series UD. Urdhva Dhanurasana always strikes me as being a bit isolated in all those forward bends of Primary.
Was adjusted into Pasasana, felt really good much to my surprise, just got to find a way of keeping my heels down.

Ronnie Moore believes Matthew Bates has the chance of featuring in all three of Hartlepool United's crucial triple bill at Victoria Park.
The central defender has been in magnificent form for Pools, when he's been fit.
Bates produced man-of-the-match performances in the 1-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers and the 1-1 draw at Cambridge which should have also ended as a one-goal success.
But his presence has been missed in the defeats at Accrington and against Exeter, the last home game which ended in a 2-0 defeat.
Bates would have returned to the centre of the Pools defence at Notts County on Saturday, only for the match to be washed out less than three hours before kick-off.
He will start tomorrow night's critical League Two clash with Stevenage alongside Adam Jackson at the heart of the defence.
"We need Batesy," said Moore, whose side face relegation rivals Yeovil on Saturday and Notts County a week tomorrow.
"He is in fantastic form and he's got loads of experience.
"The two young centre-backs are good players and have done well, but they are still both learning the game.
"To have both in at the same time is possibly not ideal.
"If you have Batesy in there, he's a talker and very good defender.
"It is a hard schedule of Tuesday-Saturday-Tuesday but it's probably a bit easier for a centre-half to play all three rather than a striker.
"A central defender probably doesn't do as much running as a forward but we'll wait and see how he is.
"After Tuesday, we have three days before the next day so may be Saturday being off might have done us a bit of a favour."
Billy Paynter is set for his first league start since the 2-0 defeat at Wimbledon on the last Saturday of October.
Moore admits it will be a big ask for his captain to play three games in eight days after a long spell on the sidelines.
But the boss says he has "options" for the front position given the competition for places which now exists in the squad.
"If Billy's not right, we have Scott Fenwick who is capable of that job," Moore said.
"Bings may be lacking a bit of confidence at this present time, but he is capable on his day too.
"Luke has not played a lot of matches so we'll have to see how he goes.
"We have options for the positions up top and the formation too."
Moore said he was "gutted" for Luke James that the Pools old boy will have to wait until tomorrow night to pull on the blue shirt again.
"Everyone was frustrated by Saturday's match being off," said Moore.
"But I felt for Luke - he'd been looking forward to it so much.
"Now it's great he'll get the chance to make his second debut at home in front of our fans."

Collective management of copyright and related rights is regulated in Chapter 12 of the Polish Copyright Act. The reporting obligations have been specified in the Regulation of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of 18 April 2011 on the specific scope of the annual report on the activities of collective management organisations for copyright and related rights.
According to the law, collective management organisations in Poland are associations representing authors, performers, producers or television and radio broadcasters. Their main task is to administer an defend the rights entrusted to them, as well as to exercise the rights conferred to them by law. As associations, they are also subject to the Act on associations of 7 April 1989.
In order to conduct collective management of rights, the organisations operating in Poland need to obtain a prior authorisation from the minister responsible for culture. Such authorisations are delivered to collective management organisations which can guarantee they will be able to manage rights in an appropriate manner. Collective management organisations and other entities can also manage rights under more general rules, outside the scope of the authorisations granted by the Minister of Culture. In this situation, however, the rights granted by law to organisations benefiting from an authorisation do not apply (e.g. presumptions of representation).
The minimum tariffs applied by collective management organisations are subject to the approval of the Copyright Commission, a body composed of arbitrators appointed by the Minister of Culture on the basis of proposals made by collective management organisations, organisations representing users and broadcasting organisations. The tasks of the Copyright Commission include the approval of the tariffs and of the changes thereto, the resolution of disputes relating to tariffs, the designation of the collective management organisation which will be managing the rights of a rightholder in the case where there are two or more organisations dealing with a particular type of use and the rightholder is not affiliated to any of them.
Collective management organisations are also subject to rules on competition, as well as to the control of the Minister of Culture (e.g. through the obligation to submit transparency reports on a yearly basis).
There are currently 12 collective management organisations which have obtained an authorisation from the Minister of Culture:
