"I reached out to (team president) David Morehouse and the Penguins about the comments I made yesterday on Philadelphia radio. In hindsight, I realize what I said was inappropriate and wrong, and I want to apologize to the Penguins organization and their fans,"Too late buddy, our coach in his skirt and our captain and his 35 concussions will see you (NBC) and you're favorite team (Philadelphia Flyers) in the first round of the playoffs next week. We'll see who has the last laugh when all is said and done. Also, where are the direct apologizes to Dan Bylsma and Sidney Crosby, the two people who were insulted in the interview?
Mike <3 Peter 4 Life
Shero's comments on the matter:
"If it was an attempt at comedy, it falls real short. It's fine to have an opinion on players but when you're making light of concussions, that's not right," said Shero. "I've gone through this with my own kid (who had a concussion), obviously we've gone through it as a team with Sidney Crosby and saw what it took for him to battle back from it over the past year, there's nothing funny about post-concussion syndrome. I don't think it would have been very funny had he made fun of [concussed Flyers captain] Chris Pronger in that light. There's nothing funny about [former Flyers captain] Keith Primeau having to retire from it. This is an issue that is at the forefront of our league right now and to make light of these concussions is a real lame attempt at humor. He should know better than this."
On Milbury calling Crosby a "goody two-shoes"
"I'm not sure what he's implying there. Sidney Crosby is a fierce competitor, that's what makes him great, that's what makes him a great captain. It's no different than a Peter Forsberg -- they're fierce competitors and they play to win the game."

I was fighting with ActionBar, will give up because it was troubled by bugs.
ActionBarSherlock is a great product.
This is never, ActionBarSherlock is not bad I mean.
The problem is ActionBarSherlock3.5 has not yet support the ICS simply.
Therefore, I had tried a beta version of 4.0, it was still unstable, gave up because of the high possibility of name change method name and style in a future release.
Therefore, in later versions of the honeycomb to implement without the CompatibilityAPI.
And before it was decided to use ActionBarSherlock3.5.
However, the implementation is completely different to MultiAPK. Work is difficult to tackle and from the lower version of many of the features currently working on, so what use is 4.0.
So, I decided to make a first APK since the honeycomb.
It will be published in a range of a small number of users, very sorry.
We can currently about 70%. Since the public a test version, please try to use.
I Beam is a very interesting feature it.

Last week was most certainly not my finest hour with the stats I worked so hard to provide for the Welsh National left blowing in the wind as once again racing makes fools of all of us, though in this case mainly me but nothing new there.
This week's news saw Matt Chapman kicked off Dancing On Ice which is a real shame as I really hoped he would forge a new career elsewhere. But then I am one who thinks his antics and those of predecessor John McCririck cheapen the sport I love in search of being young and trendy.
I am all in favour of attracting the next generation to the track but I want them there because they fall in love with the sport of horse racing and although business decrees pop concerts and craft fairs are the way forward. I see those as short-term fixes and we would be far better simply showing them what it is that we all love or has the human race really changed that much in the last thirty years.
Looking ahead to the weekend and we have, weather permitting, five meetings in the United Kingdom and one from Ireland and I have hunted high and low in what will no doubt prove a vain attempt at making up for last week's embarrassment.
I am so useless in England at the moment that I will start off at Punchestown in what could well be the race of the day at 1.00pm when Willie Mullins has three of the seven runners, Gordon Elliott another three – and Patrick Kelly the other one.
With five of the seven a winner last time out it should be a cracker of a novice chase. but I was very much taken with the way The Storyteller won at Fairyhouse over even further. With Davy Russell in the saddle I have managed to convince myself he is the Elliott first string, rightly or wrongly.
If I am right, and it happens now and then, it might be worth adding the same stable's Mengli Khan to our betting slips despite the five-year-old running out when looking for his fourth win of the season at Leopardstown in the Future Champions Novice Hurdle at the end of December.
Hopefully that was just a one off and you can be sure his trainer will have worked on his issues and he may even run in a special bit this afternoon to keep him on the straight and narrow. We can look back to his earlier form when winning the Grade One Royal Bond Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse with any amount in hand. That run marks him down as top class and he would be odds on barring his recent mishap, and that for me makes him a spot of value this Saturday afternoon.
Finally, congratulations to Nicky Henderson who gets married (some would say "at last") to Sophie Waddilove on Saturday afternoon. Nicky has always given help and advice over the years and I genuinely wish him and Sophie the best for the future.
Sean's Suggestions:
The Storyteller 1.00pm Punchestown Saturday
Mengli Khan 2.10pm Punchestown Saturday

Exactly what is the most effective baby diaper choice for the atmosphere?
I was elevated in disposable baby diapers, as was my sibling and all of our little relatives. Until I started investigating this concern, I thought that I would certainly at some point clothe my little youngsters in disposable baby diapers also. I assumed that cloth diapers would be better for the setting, however going back to the midlifes of childcare just seemed unacceptably messy. Still, I began objectively, considering exactly how the two alternatives are made.
What Does Fabric diapering Takes
It takes a great deal more water to make a fabric baby diaper than a disposable one, primarily to grow and also refine the cotton. When the water made use of to wash the reusables is added to the equation, cloth baby diapers require twice as much water as disposable baby diapers do. I was shocked when I found this treasure of info hidden in the estimations of a UNITED KINGDOM Setting Company record comparing towel and non reusable diapers.
The same record calculated every resource used, from water and power to plastics as well as cotton, throughout production, usage and disposal of the respective diaper items. This even more detailed evaluation computed the family member environmental influence on whatever from worldwide heating to poisonous waste. I'll get into the details in the Basics, however below's the actual surprise: fabric and non reusable nappies involve a close to incorporate total ecological impact.
Video: Diapering in South Lebanon
Does Fabric Have an influence on the atmosphere?
The manufacturing of non reusable baby diapers has a bigger carbon footprint, however the electrical energy used to wash reusable baby diapers cancels out most of the difference. Fabric baby diapers create more harmful waste that could impact human health and wellness, because of the power, detergent and also softener made use of to clean them.
So exactly what will I wrap my kids little buns in?
I don't want to add to the thousands of tons of baby diapers sent out to land fills each year. But the required washing of towel diapers could be similarly troublesome, especially in drought-stricken locations. Towel baby diapers will certainly constantly utilize even more water compared to disposables, yet they additionally offer much more possibilities to lower total ecological influence– by using extra efficient washers, and also cleaner soaps as well as source of power.
Better Fabric diaper style Is the solution
A new style of fabric nappies with a compostable liner may be the option to diaper sustainability. You can wash the external towel diaper less often, and also either garden compost the stained internal layer or purge it down the toilet. With a Do It Yourself diaper, you could clothe up your infant's bum in a funky old performance tee.
Just what else will I need to come to be A Fabric Queen?
And also always remember:
Diapers are simply one product your baby will certainly require. Minimizing your kid's other impacts can be as straightforward as wanting to Craigslist, consignment stores as well as baby swaps prior to you buy brand-new clothing and toys. When in doubt, reduce, recycle as well as reuse– and instruct your youngsters to do the same.

"Mankind, He has told you what is good and what the Lord requires of you: to act justly, to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God." -Micah 6:8 HCSB
It seems that with each passing year, the passage of moving to adulthood gets more difficult. The youth ministry at Pine Forest is designed to help students navigate these waters. We believe that God has called us into ministry with parents to help teens navigate this transition. In order to help parents walk with their youth, we have designed a rites of passage experience for you and your youth. We hope you will look at it in our parent resource section.
As we walk with your family through their teenager years, they will have the opportunity to grow in many different, challenging and fun ways. Everything that we do in our ministry is designed to fit into the three purposes that we have identified: friendship, discipleship, service to others.
While we believe the family is the backbone to the spiritual life of youth, we also believe it is important for you to be in community with other teenagers and adults who model the Christian life style. All of our youth have the opportunity to experience this community in a small group setting.
In our youth ministry we believe in doing life together! We love to grab coffee or ice cream with youth, watch them play ball, hear about their lives and even cry with them. As we experience this passage together, we have lots of activities throughout the year. Each summer we take a youth mission trip; our fall white-water rafting and the winter snow skiing trips have become favorites as well. During the school year we meet for breakfast and prayer each Tuesday morning in the youth wing. There are also days when we work at a local mission project such as the Soup Kitchen or Habitat for Humanity. No matter what we are doing, it is ultimately done to bring us closer to each other and especially to God.
We would love to join you in this passage and walk alongside you and your family as they journey from being a pre-teen to a young adult. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter and check back here often to keep up with all that is going on in our ministry.
In Christ,
Jared Middleton

Rakhi is an important festival in India, claiming its position right after Diwali, Dushera and Holi. It is a festival that is believed to be traditionally a celebration of love between a brother and a sister. Just like any festivals in India gifts form an integral part of rakhi. Gifts that are exchanged are a symbol of love and appreciation and not a means of showcasing your bank account. If you are in college or have limited income, here some gift ideas which you can use while sending rakhi gifts to USA.
Personalized Gift - Personalized gift items do not cost much, yet they leave a long lasting impact on the mind and hearts of the receiver. More these gifts are easily available and are very easy to customise. You can customise gifts like coffee mugs, ladies wallets, or even Smartphone covers with a picture of your sibling. If you wish to send something more customised, you can opt for customized pillow covers, cushion or wall clock. The best part is you need to run to different places to get these items. You can order them on the internet when you buy online rakhi.
Flowers- Flowers are one thing that never goes out of fashion. They may not last long, but have the power the make anyone smile. Flowers fortunately do not cost much and there are many companies worldwide like Giftalove who delivers flowers along with rakhi with dry fruit combo packs. You can choose and customise the type of flower you would like to send to your brother and sister. You can even create a bouquet consisting of different flowers to give them a pleasant surprise. For stunning flowers visit at www.giftalove.com/flowers/
Books- this is one of the most underrated gifts on Rakshabandhan mainly because people do not read a lot. However if you have a brother or sister who is a avid reader , then there can be no better gift than gifting them a good book. You can send a book online through any web store or utilise the same that you would be using to buy online rakhi.
Imitation jewellery- It is a misnomer to assume that imitation jewellery is only worn by women. Of course women wear them more than men, there are many cute and trendy jewellery which you can gift your brother as well for Rakshabandhan. Metal pendants, bracelets, cufflinks are wonderful gifts which you can customise and send to your siblings
Gift Basket – Gift basket are another great and cost effective idea, where you can put a little of everything that your siblings like , you can pack a rakhi with dry fruits, along with teddy bears chocolates, cosmetics, perfumes, shavings essentials and many other such things and create a unique combo , that would not only be useful but also very innovative.
Besides these inexpensive gifts, you can opt for soft toys, cakes and mementos, which are easily available online.

The human factor is the most critical resource for national competitiveness. Launched in 2013, the Global Talent Competitiveness Index (GTCI) is an annual study ranking countries and major cities on their ability to, attract, develop and retain talent.
Developed by INSEAD, the Adecco Group and TATA Communications, the GTCI provides a benchmarking tool for governments, cities, businesses and not-for-profit organisations to help design their talent strategies, overcome talent mismatches and be competitive in the global marketplace.
Global Talent Competitiveness Index
Locates the city and country best suited to your talent
How cities compete and innovate on the global talent scene
The number of cities covered in GTCI has moved from a total of 46 last year to 90 in this edition of the report. This significant increase is due to a combination of factors, including the proactivity of GCTCI's research team in identifying new sources and indicators, as well as the contributions and feedback received from a number of municipalities around the world.
This section presents the findings of the GCTCI, looking first at the overall rankings of the 90 cities covered by GCTCI 2018, and then at specific rankings on each of the five pillars of the GCTCI model.

Former Wofford standout Noah Dahlman caught up with his Wofford family over the holidays.
After shocking his relatives back home in Minnesota with a surprise visit on a break from playing professional basketball in Macedonia, former Wofford standout Noah Dahlman caught up with his adopted family.
Dahlman, who led Wofford to back-to-back Southern Conference championships and was named player of the year, left Braham, Minn., after celebrating Christmas and spent a few days with the Terriers. He was with them last week when they played at South Carolina.
"It's been really good — but strange," Dahlman said. "I feel older. And I miss it. I miss it a lot."
Dahlman finished last season as the fifth-leading scorer in Wofford history and No. 1 in the Division I era with more than 2,000 points. He is third in number of games played and fourth in all-time shooting percentage. As a senior, he averaged 20 points with six rebounds and shot 61 percent in leading the Terriers to a second straight trip to the NCAA tournament.
"What a legacy. Think about what he accomplished," Wofford head coach Mike Young said. "It was great to catch up and visit with him and have him around these guys. He says all the right things."
Dahlman, a 6-foot-5 post player, signed a two-year contract with Skopje in the Macedonian First League. He has averaged 17 points and nine rebounds so far in helping his team to a second place in the standings.
"My game hasn't changed a whole lot," Dahlman said. "I still do what I do. Hustle plays, put-backs, offensive rebounds. I'll find my niche on any team. I could care less about my game as long as we're winning. That's what is going to make me happy.
"We're poised to make a run in the playoffs. We're concentrating on that right now. The team has never won a championship. We'll be remembered more for a championship than stats."
Dahlman said it first seemed an overwhelming adjustment from college basketball to being a professional, especially overseas.
"The toughest thing is how much you are on your own," he said. "In college, you're around your teammates all the time. In Macedonia, only a few of my teammates speak English all the time. It's a new culture and new people and new surroundings. But I dove into it and I'm trying to learn as much as I can and experience as much as I can. It's been wonderful. I miss it a little bit now, which is strange. But I have some unfinished business."
"I think he was struggling early on and had some concerns," Young said. "It wasn't so good. I told him, 'Hang in there. They will figure out what they've got.' The next time I talked to him, they had figured it out. He's a great player."
Wofford this season is 7-6, led by seniors Kevin Giltner and Brad Loesing but loaded with young players and also new players in key roles.
"Any time you have a blend of old and new, you're going to have your ups and downs," Dahlman said. "You'll have veterans carry you one night and then have younger guys show you something on other nights. So it's about finding balance and that medium consistency that you're going to need, especially in the Southern Conference.
"The key thing is to be seasoned at the right time, down the stretch, to make a run come SoCon tournament time. These guys have a willingness to work. They play hard. It will come, I believe. They will have enough experience. The older guys are bringing the younger guys along and they'll make a run in the tournament."
As for Dahlman, he'll be keeping track of the Terriers from afar and counting his blessings that he is also still playing.
"Basketball is what I love to do and I'm getting paid to play," Dahlman said. "How can you ever be unhappy to get a paycheck for playing a game? You just have to smile and thank your lucky stars."

It's that time again, folks.
My beloved Keane have announced the release date for their new album, simultaneously giving me another reason to live.
The new CD, titled "Perfect Symmetry" will be released on October 13th, and you can bet your sweet asses that I'll be first in the perfectly symmetrical line to get it. I'll also be salivating daily at the idea of a tour to back said album. I guess I should start saving my vacation days now.
As we speak, the nice folks at Keanemusic.com have offered up one free download, a song called "Spiralling" which has quickly become a new favourite of mine. It's totally unlike anything the band has done thus far, but equally amazing. Totally catchy, as per yoozh, and danceable. I'm not even sure if "danceable" is a word, but it is now, thanks to Keane.
Do yourself a favour and check it out. And then in October, do yourself an even bigger favour and buy the CD.
Just don't cut in front of me in line. :-)
Random squares never looked so good.

The U.S government has launched its first crowdfunding campaign with help from Kickstarter in order to fund aid for the ongoing refugee crisis in Syria.
This is also the first time that the Silicon Valley startup has hosted a charity appeal, typically reserving its crowdfunding platform for "creative" projects instead.
After requests from the White House, Kickstarter has partnered with the United Nations refugee agency for a week-long event, which has so far raised more than $1 million with over 18,000 people donating.
The Kickstarter page explains where the money will go, with donation options ranging from $15 for a mat and sleeping bag for one person, to $600 to provide a year of care and education for a Syrian child.
The government has also introduced the hashtag #AidRefugees, in the hopes of engaging the public with the plight of those affected, through social media.
A blog post on the White House website says: 'We can join together to provide shelter, food, and medical assistance to these people in need. It's the American thing to do.'
The US government has already donated $4.5 billion to the refugee crisis, with President Obama quoted as saying: 'We have a moral responsibility to do what we can for families forced from their homes.'

One of the biggest thrills I get is when Castaways like yourself share with me your Caribbean and rum adventures. Nearly every day I receive a photo of a beach, asking me about a bottle of rum, or showing me that you're living with your toes in the sand.
I'm floored that you remember to think of this humble website, and honored that you want to share it with me and other salty island lovers. What started as just a simple twitter account over 6 years ago has grown into an amazing community of passionate island travelers. It just goes to show that if you really put your mind to it, you truly can do anything, and go anywhere. That's why I use the hashtag #JustGo.
Stop wishing, put your mind to it, and #JustGo.
Here are some great Caribbean travel stories that hopefully will inspire you to…just go.
Caribbean Weekly Wrap Up
5 Overwater Bungalows to Open at Sandals Royal Caribbean: 5 Overwater Bungalows will become available to guests at the popular Sandals Royal Caribbean in Montego Bay, Jamaica from November 15, 2016.

Caribbean Snorkeling – Unique Spots For The Best Experience: St. Barths and Virgin Gorda offers an abundance of locations that are ideal for Caribbean Snorkeling experience, but only a few distinguish themselves by offering an unmatched experience. Two of these are best Caribbean islands best for snorkeling – mostly because of their diversity in terms of snorkeling spots. We explore these two locations. –Story by Caribbean Charter Flights
Effects of the Barrel and Other Things on the Rum: What is the effect of the charred oak barrels in the rum? The Oak Wood softens the texture of the rum and stabilizes it. In addition it, makes the tannins which are polimericen that give a nicer feel and flavor in the mouth. –Story by Bahama Bob
A Short Look at a Long Cay: We spent a couple of weeks anchored in Cockburn Harbour, over on the far side of this little tropical island nation. We were in a beautiful anchorage, tucked up under the lee of the island of South Caicos. It was the first time we've been able to actually go somewhere new in the sailboat since we got it down here. Our previous post has some photos of the trip, and our first couple of days at South Caicos. –Story by 2 Gringos in the Caribbean

Updated February 2011
I can now confirm that the Young Men were from Phoenix, Arizona. Members included Frank Lacey, Pete Axtell, Dave Killingsworth, Richard Adams (who replaced the Metronomes original guitarist) and Tony Boynton.
They were originally called the Metronomes and most were students at West Phoenix High School, playing the prom there in 1966. A friend of the band remembered Frank Lacey being one of the first students at their high school to be sent home for having long hair.
Their first 45, released on United World #6947 in January '67 has a minor pop song "Too Many Times" on the A-side, written by 'Howie' and produced by Forest Higginbotham. It charted on KRUX 1360 AM, reaching #16 on March 16.
Much cooler is the catchy, upbeat "Go!". The song writing credits list Axtell and Lacey, but as Mop Top Mike pointed out to me, it's really a very close version of the Dave Clark Five's "I'm Thinking", the b-side of a '65 single "Reelin' and Rockin'". On the DC5 original there's a great shout of "Oh!" before the first verse. The Young Men change this to a reverb-laden "Go!" and dub it in before each verse. They also speed up the tempo, drop the organ part and substitute an excellent dry guitar solo for the bridge in the DC5 original.
The Young Men had a second 45 United World #0001 in April of '67, a very competent rendition of the Hollies' "Baby That's All" backed with "Love's Time", a good original by Axtell, Lacey and Froste.
As Dan Nowicki points out in his comment below, Frank Lacey and Dave Killingsworth later were in Thackeray Rocke, and that both records were recorded at Audio Recorders of Arizona.
Thanks also to Mop Top Mike for the dates of the 45s, to John L. for info on the group, and to Brian Kirschenbaum for the transfers and scans of "Baby That's All" and "Love's Time".
Anyone have a photo of the group?

Oregon Chapter Sierra Club members, Jill Workman and Chris Smith recently returned from Washington D.C. where they were lobbying Oregon's delegates on behalf of the Club in support of a good, clean package of lands bills during the 113th Congress. Despite an extraordinarily challenging partisan environment in the Capitol, Great Outdoors America Week served as a positive context for a wide variety of constituents to impress upon their representatives the importance for wildlands across our country. Along with advocating for the creation and expansion of wilderness areas in Oregon and beyond, we also pushed for the Healthy Kids Outdoor Act, a bill that would help improve access and opportunities for kids to get into green spaces. This is part of a broader effort to kick nature-deficit disorder to the curb as kids are spending less and less time outside.
We were met with plenty of pessimism and frustration from our Oregon delegates, many of whom would like to see good lands bills go through this congress. Despite this frustration, there were glimmers of optimism that the Devil's Staircase Wilderness Act and the Oregon Caves Revitalization Act might see some progress. We were also heartened to hear that some of our delegates shared the Club's concern about bad lands bills such as the Sealaska and Resolution Copper, which would greatly damage America's public landscape.
In the end, this work was well worth it in spite of the difficult politics reigning on Capitol Hill. The powerful message that individual citizens can send to their local DC delegates by paying them a visit is crucial as we fight for our environment and, though national-level politics is rife with deadlock and partisanship, there are still consistent environmental champions like Senator Jeff Merkley, who was kind enough to pose for a picture.

We are nearing the end of the dog days of summer -- a time during which only the prospect of a delicious garden tomato can push me outdoors voluntarily. Yet some of our prettiest flowers bloom in August. We can consider them our reward for planting we did earlier.
Today I want to show off two quite different forms of hibiscus, both of which bloom in August and September.
The first is familiar to most of us. Only the names are confusing. Known here as Rose of Sharon and in Britain as Rose mallow, even its Latin name is confusing. Linnaeus, the founder of modern taxonomy, called it Hibiscus syriacus, but it has no connection to Syria. It also has no connection to the plain of Sharon in Israel. In fact, the name first appears as a mistranslation in the King James Bible. Hibiscus syriacus is the national flower of South Korea and has been cultivated there for generations.
Besides its white to red to purple blooms, the Rose of Sharon has many other virtues for the Chicago garden: it is not picky about soil pH; it tolerates a fair amount of shade; it can get by in all but very wet and very dry soil. It is an upright shrub that can reach 8-12 feet high while only 6-9 feet wide. And it is easy to prune in early spring when the weather is cool and you have nothing better to do.
The other hibiscus hardy enough to grow here has the virtue of agreement in the English speaking world on its name. Both the US and the UK call it rose mallow. It is also called hardy hibiscus to distinguish it from its many tropical cousins. In Latin confusion reigns over many sub-species, but most plant are bought as commercial hybrids, so we don't care.
My rose mallows are now about three high and may get a little higher, but there are others that can get up to 6 feet with flowers as big as dinner plates. Perennial hibiscus, too, are tolerant of most conditions we face in Chicago. If your yard has a bit of the blah's in these dog days of summer a few hibiscus may be just what you need.

So, I try and write something serious about Memorial Day every year, because it's a holiday that really means something to me. This year, I decided to just post a link to this article. It talks about it's subject better than I could:
If you don't read it, it talks about America's last living survivor of World War I. This man is 107 years old, and actually had to convince an Army recruiter that Missouri didn't keep records of birth so that he could enlist and go fight in Europe prior to turning 18. Now, he is the only one left. To me, that's incredible.
Reading about this guy made me think about WWI and our current war. While I would never in a million years try to compare the valor of those soldiers to today's troops, I would point out that we are lucky that this current war has had a relatively low human cost. Do you realize that France's male population was reduced by 10% during WWI? More troops were lost in a single day than we have lost in this war. During the Battle of Verdun, which lasted roughly 8 months, the British lost 542,000 troops. That's 67,750 per month, or roughly 2200 per day. The Germans lost about 432,000, or 54,000 per month. That works out to roughly 1800 per day. Combined, that means that in one 8 month battle, 4000 men per day were dying. This, of course, does not take into account French losses and any other skirmishes that were incurred during the 8 month period that the Battle of Verdun encompassed.
Now, those aren't American troops, but the example goes to show what an incredible meat-grinder WWI really was. It is my hope that it also makes you think a little bit about the sacrifices American troops have made throughout our history. Philosophical arguments as to the validity of the war on terror and Vietnam and nostalgic looks back on Korea and WWII aside, American troops have been putting boots on the ground and dying for us for a long time. Please take a second and think about that tomorrow.

Many people seem clueless about electric skateboards today, but soon this technology is going to be in every home, especially children must be encouraged to use electrical boards to skate as this will give them a little help with the effort they put and at the same time let them do some physical exercise. A powered genesis electric skateboard review will tell you how one can enjoy more with an electric skateboard. The review of this site explains the benefits of kids learning skateboard. You will get to know more as you read through this article.
No More Push!
What is most problematic thing about manual skateboards? It is the push one has to give every time he or she wears out after traveling for some distance. However, you can completely get rid of this problem if you have an electric skateboard with you. It will help you move out of the problem zone where you felt tired every time you had to push the manual skateboard, especially in uphill areas. The motor in the electric skateboard reduces human effort to a great extent. You will be delighted to use it more and more once you try it out. There must be questions in your mind as it is a very new technology, but it is worth a try.
Easy To Carry Around!
Electric skateboards are great as they can be carried around wherever you want. It is exceptionally quiet so no noise like the petrol burning vehicles on the road. It is lightweight so even children can use it and enjoy skating all around the city. Technology is incredible on this electric skateboard system. As a science experiment, you can try to build an electric skateboard of your own. It will be a great way to learn more about technical stuff. Especially if your child is a techno freak, then please make them do this as a small project.
However, don't go on the weight if you are thinking about power. This lightweight item has excellent ability to lift even a heavy person and allow him or her to skate. When you go uphill, this skateboard can help you move up to an angle of 10 to 15 degrees without any manual effort. Also, if you are new to skating, there is a remote that comes with the skateboard. You can stop your skateboard down the hill using this skateboard remote. So, no more need to feel scared when you think the board is going out of control.
Great Control!
Technically you will never lose the control as you have the remote with you. By pressing stop, you can make the wheels come to rest comfortably. The wheels of these skateboards are so designed that they have a right grip on the concrete ground. This helps you exercise more and control and prevent any accidents from happening while skating. There is a lot more fun you can have, but for that, you have to bring one board home. So, do it today and get yourself an electric skateboard to have fun.

Cheese fritters are a popular snack made of deep-fried breaded cheese. However, in Rio de Janiero, Brazilians are making the iconic snack a little more interesting.
Various restaurants offer cheese fritters, which are often referred to as mozzarella sticks. In Leticia Moreino Schwartz' Brazil-based restaurant 'Zuka,' Schwartz serves a Portuguese rendition of the fried snack. As mentioned before, cheese fritters are usually made of breaded and deep fried cheese, whereas this Brazilian snack replaces bread with bubbly dessert tapioca.
Though the ingredient list is rather minimal, the cook time for these cultured fritters is quite lengthy. However, upon the first bite into the tapioca crust, consumers can agree these tapioca cheese fritters are worth the wait.

Aquarela do Brasil (Watercolors of Brazil / Brazil)
Music by Ary Barroso, 1939
English Lyrics by Sidney Keith "Bob" Russell, 1942
The Brazil that I knew
Where I wandered with you
Lives in my imagination.
Where the songs are passionate,
And a smile has flash in it,
And a kiss has art in it,
For you put your heart in it,
And so I dream of old Brazil
Where hearts were entertaining June,
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly murmured "someday soon"
We kissed and clung together,
Then tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now when twilight dims the sky above,
Recalling thrills of our love,
There's one thing I'm certain of;
Return I will
To old Brazil.
Brazil Phrasing, as sung by Kate Bush
Bra-zil / when hearts were en-ter-tai-ned in June /
We stood be-neath an am-ber moon /
And soft-ly whis-pered / Some-day soon /
We kissed / and clung to-ge-ther /
Then / to-mor-row was a-no-ther day /
The morn-ing found me miles a-way /
With still a mil-lion / things to say /
And now / the twi-light moves / the skies a-bove /
Re-call-ing thrills / of our love /

This October 2010 accident report is provided by the National Transportation Safety Board. Published as an educational tool, it is intended to help pilots learn from the misfortunes of others.
Aircraft: Cessna 172. Injuries: 2 Minor. Location: Durango, Colo. Aircraft damage: Substantial.
What reportedly happened: The first takeoff attempt was aborted when the passenger's door popped open. The pilot taxied back to the end of the runway, closed the door, and began the takeoff. During the second takeoff attempt, as the airplane reached about 200 feet, the engine sputtered and lost power. The pilot enriched the mixture and applied carburetor heat, and the engine sputtered and lost power a second time. The pilot said that, during the forced landing, he shut the fuel off and turned off the master switch before the airplane came down on a dry river bottom.
A post-accident examination revealed that the fuel selector was found in the BOTH position at the accident site, even though the pilot reported he shut the fuel off prior to impact. The engine was test run to full power, and no anomalies were noted. It is likely that the pilot inadvertently turned off the fuel before the last takeoff, particularly since he was unfamiliar with this model of airplane.
Probable cause: A total loss of engine power due to the pilot inadvertently moving the fuel selector to the OFF position. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's unfamiliarity with this model accident airplane.

How Does Field of Greens Actually Work?
Field of Greens is a 100% organic green drink supplement that has been formulated using a range of carefully selected raw foods.
These nutritious ingredients are carefully dried at a low temperature to preserve as much of their raw nutritional value as possible. Once digested, they release a wealth of micronutrients and phytochemicals into the blood, helping to alkalise your body and boost your immune system.
The powdered alfalfa and barley grasses also release large amounts of chlorophyll when digested, which helps to build healthy blood and improve cell oxygenation.
The cruciferous vegetable powders in Field of Greens also contain sulphur compounds that are immediately recognisable by their pungent flavour. When these compounds break down, a chemical reaction occurs that converts them into valuable isothiocyanates.
You'll find more details about the numerous advantages associated with this powerfully alkalising green drink powder here:
Mark Timon explains the advantages of Vibrant Health's Field of Greens.

Q: Can you cook/bake with Field of Greens?
A: Baking Field of Greens into a food (bread, casserole, soup, etc.) would not nullify its nutritional attributes, but would cause some loss of nutrient value. However, if we keep in mind that the cooked food could be made in a conventional fashion, without the addition of Field of Greens, then adding Field of Greens would nevertheless improve its nutritional content even if some, but certainly not all, of Field of Greens' nutrients were degraded in the process.

... Myth #4"Free software is great, but some projects take real money. There's no way the community can raise those funds."The truth is that it is hard for the free culture community to raise actual cash for projects, but it has been done. And there are parallels with mainstream culture that suggest it can be taken even further.Starting commercial with BlenderA number of large-scale projects in the free software world—such as Mozilla, Zope, OpenOffice.org, and Blender—started out as fairly standard commercial/proprietary development projects. During their incubation phase, the simplicity and structure of a commercial environment with capital investment and salaried programmers made their development fairly straightforward. It was only after these programs had released operational software that their supporting companies made the decision to go to free software distribution....Communities certainly can raise funds if the community is large enough and there is a high level of trust that the contributions will produce results. The free culture community has about an order of magnitude to go to catch up to such mainstream funding levels, but there's every reason to believe that the potential for that kind of growth is there.

Patterns of growth and partitioning of fat depots in tropical fat-tailed Menz and Horro sheep breeds

A total of 147 Menz and Horro lambs of both sexes were serially slaughtered and dissected at five different stages of growth to define the pattern of growth and partitioning of fat among body depots in indigenous Ethiopian Menz and Horro sheep breeds. The GLM procedure of SAS and allometric growth equation were used to assess the effects of various factors on the growth of body depots and to estimate its growth relative to total carcass fat (TCF) and empty body weight (EBW), respectively. Results obtained showed that the growth of carcass fat (CF), non-carcass fat (NCF) and tail fat (TF) is significantly affected by the genotype (P<0.001) and stages of growth (P<0.001) of lambs. Except for CF, the growth of both NCF and TF were also significantly affected (P<0.001 and P<0.05) by the sex and the season in which the lambs were born. Of the two breeds, the Menz sheep deposited more fat into the carcass and less into the non-carcass depots as compared to the Horro sheep and ewe lambs in both breeds deposited more fat intra-abdominally than the ram lambs. The highest allometric growth coefficient was obtained for TF (1.2–2.1 relatively to TCF and EBW) and the lowest for NCF (0.8–1.3 relative to TCF and EBW) indicating that the former is a late developing while the later is an early maturing depot in the tropical fat-tailed Menz and Horro sheep breeds.

It was a little hard to get into at first, just because the world Wells created is so original and so you can't really assume any of the details of what's going on. But once I did get into, I really loved it. Wells is a good writer with an impressive imagination.

Blue Sky Days In The World's Most Polluted City
A few years back, Taiyuan was apparently named, by the United Nations or some other such organization, as the world's most polluted city. In general, the Shanxi region is known outside of China for the mining and burning of coal, and for bearing the scars of decades of industrialization.
After spending a few days in the city proper, our take on Taiyuan is that it is far from the "hell on earth" it has been billed as. One morning, I had a pleasant jog through the campus of Taiyuan University of Technology, where we were all graciously hosted by Zhao Laoshi, Yingping, Li Ling, and company. The day was windy and the sky was bright blue and filled with white puffy clouds. And the evenings were cool and refreshing, great for strolling through the alleyway neighborhoods.
None of this is meant to deny the pollution problems that exist in Taiyuan, in China in general, and in the United States and the world beyond. It is just that one-dimensional portraits of places (e.g., Washington, DC as a murder capital), while they serve valuable purposes, also have the effect of caricaturing the living conditions of entire populations.
For our part, we were glad to have the opportunity to catch a brief glimpse of Taiyuan in its three-dimensional incarnation, as a city that does not appear all that different from any other mid-sized Chinese metropolis. Are we just being utterly naive? Have Taiyuan's problems been overrated? Are things just getting better as time goes by? At least spending a few days in Taiyuan allowed us to change the questions we are asking, even if we don't yet have a good feel for the answers.

Have you ever walked out of a Christopher Nolan movie disappointed? Could you even think about walking out of one? I never have! And this one is yet another signature Nolan movie that ended with applause in the movie hall.
Interstellar is the story of a group of explorers on a voyage to build hope for the food starved and 'about to collapse' mankind.
The treatment of the plot is, not so new with 'the earth is polluted, we need a new place to live …' scenario - heard that before right? But Interstellar has this plot woven wonderfully into a story with classic Nolan flavoured twists & turns, emotions and visual cues. The technicalities used in the story keeps you engaged and intellectually stimulated (just like the multileveled dreams did in Inception).
Add to that the witty, dry comedy that will have you breakout into chuckles right in the middle of an intense twist gives a 100% to the humour quotient.
As for the background score by Hans Zimmer; it is quite different from what you would find in other Nolan movies that Zimmer has worked on. Interstellar's score has an astronomical intrigue value to it, including absolute muted silence at times.
And of course Matthew McConaughey is brilliant as the protagonist, 'Coop' (Cooper). His rendition of a passionate aeronautics pilot, of being a maverick even in tough times, and of being an 'emotional' toughie does justice to what the audience expects from a Nolan movie and so does his sense of timing.
However, there are still some things that I wished were different; Take the cast for instance, this is something that has always wowed me in the past … Inception, The Dark Knight Trilogy and even in Memento. Christopher Nolan is known for repeating his brilliant talent pool across movies (Joseph Gordon Levitt, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Marion Cotillard and of course Michael Caine), but the cast of Interstellar however did disappoint me a bit.
Sir Michael Caine, one of my favourite actors, wasn't convincing enough as a senior NASA physicist. Anne Hathaway (Dr Amelia Brand) is a much better Batwoman than an astronaut. For a critical member of a space mission Hathaway seriously looks like arm candy. Jessica Chastain ('Murph', Murphy) is crassly dramatic and Mackenzie Foy playing Murph as a little girl rendered the character far better.
I found that the first half of the movie dragged a bit as it makes you think 'Okay! What are you getting at? But the second half is a thriller and makes up for the slowness of the first.
Interstellar is not my favourite Christopher Nolan movie, but still one of the best movies one might see this year. Although, I'd want to watch it at least once more, because I liked it and because there are some scenes that you just HAVE to watch twice to really understand, something that was also required in Nolan's Memento and Inception.

Typically, young fish spawning for the first time make up a large portion of the spawning stock and currently there isn't a reliable means to predict how many fish are going to recruit (join the spawning stock) in any given year. This project aims to provide a measure of juvenile herring abundance in order to predict future additions to the spawning stock.
The PWSSC is conducting hydroacoustic (sonar) surveys in November each year in eight bays around the Sound to estimate the abundance of new juvenile herring. We focus on the age-0 fish because they are the easiest group to survey using acoustics. Researchers will then determine the relationship between the number of fish counted during the surveys, and the number of new spawning adults counted 2-3 years later.
By providing a prediction of the herring expected to join the spawning stock, we can greatly increase the accuracy in our predictions of the spawning biomass. They surveys also provide an indication of which areas within the Sound juvenile herring are using as nursery grounds, which provides a measure to test larval drift models against and alerts the scientists to when conditions are favorable for herring recruitment.

Look, I know loads of you are going to cry 'Who cares?' in response to the fact that we're passing comment on the news that Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after ten years together and two years of marriage.
But bear with me here, because I care.
No, not because they're A-listers or in the public eye or even because of the media frenzy around them which makes it virtually impossible to avoid hearing about the details of their divorce. I care because there but for the grace of God go all of us.
News reports allege that Angelina filed for divorce because of the way Brad was parenting the couple's children. She is said to be "extremely upset" with his parenting methods, and a legal representative confirmed that Angelina made the decision for the "health of the family" – whatever that truly means.
Laying aside their stardom and the other alleged issues in the couple's divorce proceedings (as well as the background to how their relationship began and his marital status at the time), this news made me pause because I've had moments in my own marriage where I've wondered if we're just utterly incompatible, and those have almost always been triggered by disagreements over issues relating to our kids.
If there are two opposing ways to tackle an element of parenthood, you can virtually guarantee that my other half and I will find them. I'm a stickler for boundaries and routine but he has an innate sense of adventure and spontaneity - which, indeed, were two of the things I found most attractive about him when we met a decade before we had a child together. But isn't it one thing to pick your life partner based on the things that drew you together in the first place but quite another to navigate your way through different approaches to parenting together?
I can't think of an issue in our marriage that causes more stress or strain than differences of opinion when it comes to our kids. We want and need to be on the same page as each other when it comes to our kids so when we're not, it feels like the family is falling apart. Factor in the kids getting wind of the fact that Mum thinks 'x' but Dad thinks 'y' and it's surprising how quickly family life can seem to unravel before your very eyes.
None of us wants to be there yet I know few couples who - if they were being really honest - could say they've never questioned the future of their family life because of painfully different approaches to parenting. I also know plenty of couples who directly cite parenting differences as a factor in the breakdown of their relationship.
So yes, I care that Brangelina is to be no more but that's not because I'm shallow or celebrity-obsessed. It's because I think the ending of their story points all too clearly to something that many of us know all too well - that you can love someone so much that you want to start a family with them and yet struggle to handle actually being family together.
Yes, there are a million and one more important issues in the news to focus on. But I care because I believe marriage can be 'made' to work if you want it to; that compromise is always key to dealing with conflict, even where kids are concerned; and that differences can always be ironed out. And this news undermined those convictions – even just for a moment.
Because, of course, celebrities don't live the same kind of lives that we do, and the pressures of fame on family life must add something to the mix that I can never comprehend. So, sad as I genuinely am that Brad and Angelina apparently couldn't make things work, I'm all the more determined to keep believing in happy endings.
What's your view? Is your faith in family life challenged by the latest celebrity divorce or does it make you determined to tackle parenting differences for the sake of family life? Share your thoughts in the comments below or join the conversation over on our Facebook page.

Exploring the most Picturesque & Historic parts of England
Planning a visit to Canterbury?
Please support the Pictures of England website by booking your Canterbury hotels & accommodation through this site.
St Martin's Church in Canterbury is the oldest church building in England, and the oldest church in continuous use in the English speaking world.
The Church of St Martin's in Canterbury was the private chapel of Queen Bertha of Kent, whose influence led to the introduction of Christianity to Anglo-Saxon England. Queen Bertha was canonized as a saint for her part in its establishment.
The Equestrian term "canter" comes from the name Canterbury. Pilgrims on their way to Canterbury to visit the shrine of famous martyr Thomas à Becket, would ride at a "Canterbury Trot" as they approached the city, which was less tiring than a gallop. The term was later shortened to canter.More Canterbury facts..

I'm new here as you'll prob have no probs noticing. I have a laptop that boots up but only maintains the desktop for about 20-30 secs and then it and the taskbar disappears. It does come back by itself sometimes just to disappear again. I see that you have discussed this topic before but I don't know if it's ok to just follow the procedures that you point out there as it talks about deleting items. I suspect this machine has a virus of some sort so any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. If we can't clean it, I'll just format and do a fresh install.
Thank you.

Though owning a vehicle is considered a status symbol in some small towns, a major factor to be considered is the mileage of the vehicle. Older and larger vehicles usually have a lower mileage due to lower fuel efficiency and more fuel will be needed to cover the same distance. However it is more safe to use larger vehicles as the occupant is less likely to get hurt in case of an accident.
For a vehicle, the total expenses include the cost of the vehicle, fuel cost and other expenses like insurance, license, maintenance fees, time , effort in driving the vehicle. If the person is not likely to use the vehicle at all, it is better to hire a vehicle for a short time, it can be cost effective.
Need to store your fuel safely? Here you will find high quality bunded fuel tanks for all fuel types.

Troops: Blackwater Shooting "Criminal"
A report compiled by the soldiers concluded that there was "no enemy activity involved" and called the incident a "criminal event," the Post reports.
"It appeared to me they were fleeing the scene when they were engaged," said Lt. Col. Mike Tarsa, whose soldiers arrived at the scene 20 to 25 minutes after the shootings ended. "It had every indication of an excessive shooting."
The soldiers' conclusions - based upon their own observations, eyewitness interviews and discussions with Iraq police - are similar to those reached by the Iraqi government and contradict Blackwater's contention that its guards acted in self-defense after being shot at by the Iraqis.
"I did not see anything that indicated they were fired upon," said Tarsa, commander of the 3rd Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment of the 2nd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division.
He also said several Iraqi drivers had apparently made U-turns and were heading away from the intersection when their cars were hit by gunfire from the Blackwater guards.
On Thursday, families of the Iraqis killed in the shooting filed suit against Blackwater in a U.S. court, saying the firm violated American law and fostered a culture of lawlessness among its employees.
The suit in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., said the contractor has been paid more than $1 by the U.S. government since 2001 and that the company violated U.S. laws in the Sept. 16 killings.
"Blackwater has turned recklessness into profit at the expense of the lives of innocent civilians," said Vincent Warren, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, which brought the suit. Warren made the comments in a brief interview after the suit was filed.
Blackwater spokeswoman Anne Tyrrell said the company was aware of the lawsuit. "Because it is a matter currently under investigation by the FBI, we will refrain from commenting on the specifics of the case other than to say that the company will defend itself vigorously," she said.
In other developments:
The FBI arrived in Baghdad a week ago to investigate the Sept. 16 shootings, taking over a State Department investigation and raising the prospect that it could be referred to the Justice Department for prosecution.
Blackwater protects U.S. diplomats as they move about on Baghdad's dangerous streets. An Iraqi investigation into the killings recommended that the State Department sever all contracts for the company's operations in Iraq within six months.
Blackwater should be liable for claims of assault and battery, wrongful death, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, and negligent hiring, training and supervision, the lawsuit says.
The plaintiffs in the case are an injured survivor and three familes of men who died in the incident.
The United States has not made conclusive findings about the shooting, though there are multiple investigations under way and Congress has opened inquiries into the role of private security contractors.
The Iraqi government report said its courts were the proper venue in which to bring charges.
Iraqi officials say Blackwater's license to operate in Iraq expired on June 2, 2006, meaning it had no immunity from prosecution under Iraqi laws set down after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003.
The State Department has counted 56 shooting incidents involving Blackwater guards in Iraq this year. All were being reviewed as part of the comprehensive inquiry ordered by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

An Arkansas judge struck down the state's 2004 amendment prohibiting same sex marriage on Friday, ruling that the ban violates the state constitution and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
"Arkansas' s marriage laws discriminate against same-sex couples in violation of the Equal Protection Clause because they do not advance any conceivable legitimate state interest necessary to support even a rational basis review," circuit Judge Chris Piazza wrote. The case, Wright v. Arkansas, involved more than 40 plaintiffs, including a "mix of unmarried same-sex couples, families seeking respect for their out-of-state marriages, and children of gay and lesbian Arkansans."
Citing Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court case eliminating the ban on interracial marriage, Piazza argued that "It has been over forty years since Mildred Loving was given the right to marry the person of her choice. The hatred and fears have long since vanished and she and her husband lived full lives together; so it will be for the same-sex couples."
Last week, state Attorney General Dustin McDaniel announced that while he supports marriage equality, he will continue to defend the state's constitutional ban. Piazza did not stay his ruling, allowing same-sex couples to marry as early as Monday, though McDaniel's office is expected to quickly appeal the decision.
Since the Supreme Court struck down a section of the Defense of Marriage Act in June of 2012, at least eight other judges have invalidated laws prohibiting same-sex marriage. This includes judges in Illinois, Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Oklahoma, Utah, Texas, and Michigan.
In 2004, 75 percent of voters approved the state's ban against same-sex marriage.
