HILLSBOROUGH, N.H. — People here treasure their rugged surroundings and relative isolation in the hills of southwestern New Hampshire. They welcome winter, and consider their distance from urban sprawl a clear advantage.
But for many, the benefits of living in rural New Hampshire have also become burdens. Gasoline and home heating oil are no longer comfortably affordable, especially for the roughly 60 percent of residents who commute more than 25 miles to work.
Of about two dozen people interviewed here in late December and early January, nearly all said energy policy was a top concern as they looked to the presidential primary on Tuesday. Some said they had bought wood-pellet stoves to supplement oil heat; others said they had looked into installing solar panels or even living off the grid, with no reliance on public utilities.
"Oil affects everything," said Paris Wells, who owns the Central Square Ice Cream Shoppe on Main Street. "We need someone in office who's going to look seriously at alternative power of some form."
Mr. Wells said he was spending more than $1,000 a month on heating oil in winter, which, judging from the estimates others gave, is within the norm. Because of its old housing stock, New Hampshire is more dependent on oil heat than any state except Maine and Vermont, according to the Energy Information Administration, with 58 percent of homes using it. The average national cost of home heating oil was $3.34 a gallon last month, up from $2.44 a year earlier.Continue reading the main story
But despite what many here consider a rising crisis regarding dependence on foreign oil, most said the presidential candidates had disappointingly vague approaches to energy policy or, worse, little interest in the subject.
Some, like Mr. Wells, spoke admiringly of Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico, a Democrat and former energy secretary, who they said seemed more passionate than most candidates about reducing oil prices and consumption.
Mr. Richardson is a long shot — he won only 2 percent of the vote in Iowa's caucuses last week — but some of the other candidates have focused more on gas and heating oil prices in the last few days.
In the Republican debate on Saturday, most candidates said they wanted to wean the nation from dependence on foreign oil and to expand domestic energy sources, like nuclear power. In the Democratic debate that followed, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York said energy costs for families in New Hampshire had tripled during President Bush's tenure and called for more heating assistance for poor families.
Still, voters here said that they doubted the winners would make energy policy a priority if elected, and that polarizing subjects like the war in Iraq and illegal immigration had largely eclipsed the kitchen-table economic issues that affected daily living here.
"I remember when the center of a presidential campaign was a promise to take care of people in our country," said Norma Hubbard, who runs the local food pantry and feeds about 100 families a week. "That is not there for most of the candidates now."
Christopher Duncklee, a longtime resident who raises sheep and grows vegetables on a small farm, said he liked Mr. Richardson for his energy proposals but could not support him after his poor showing in Iowa. Mr. Duncklee normally votes Republican, he said, but is considering Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, a Democrat, and Senator John McCain of Arizona, a Republican.
Mr. Duncklee predicted that the Iowa results — especially the victory of former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, a favorite of evangelical Christians, on the Republican side — would not sway many New Hampshire voters.
"People here do not think religion belongs in politics," he said.
Almost everyone interviewed said they were not only undecided as the primary drew near, but also considering candidates from both parties. Surprisingly few said they liked Mrs. Clinton or former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, who were long perceived as front-runners in their respective parties here but face steeper challenges after losing in Iowa. Forty-two percent of the state's registered voters are independents, and they are famous for waiting until the last minute to choose a candidate.
Like other small New Hampshire towns once dominated by families who lived there for generations, Hillsborough, with about 5,700 residents, has seen an influx of people from Massachusetts and other points south. Drawn by lower taxes and housing costs, they came willing to commute to cities with plentiful jobs. But high gas prices are making the tradeoff less worthwhile.
"People buy houses out here and commute a long way," said Carl Goodman, who owns a small electrical contracting company in Hillsborough, "but then they find the cost of the commute and everything else is too much."
Mr. Goodman, an independent, said he would vote for former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina, a Democrat who placed second in Iowa, after Mr. Obama.
"I just think Obama is a little wet behind the ears in the political system," he said, "and Hillary has as many enemies as supporters. I think Edwards is the most electable nationwide."
Among cities and towns with more than 5,000 people, Hillsborough had New Hampshire's highest per-capita rate of foreclosure auction notices last year, according to the Warren Group, a real estate research company in Boston. While the state's overall foreclosure rate trailed the national rate in recent years, it rose sharply in 2007, almost catching up. In November, the number of foreclosures statewide was up 68 percent from a year earlier.
Sara Randall, a bartender at Tooky Mills Pub, said pocketbook issues loomed largest for her, especially the cost of health care. A diabetic who spends about $400 a month on health insurance, she is torn between Mrs. Clinton and Representative Ron Paul of Texas, a libertarian-leaning Republican.
"They both have a lot to say about health care," Ms. Randall said, "so they are who I'm focusing on."
Glenn Mathison, an apprentice electrician who said he had been out of work for two years, said that he liked Mr. McCain's position on the Iraq war but that no candidate stood out in terms of improving the economy.
For people like Mr. Mathison who want to work in Hillsborough and the immediate surroundings, options are few. A century ago, Contoocook Mills, which made hosiery, provided steady work. Now the biggest employer is Osram Sylvania, a lighting manufacturer that employs about 700.
Some residents, like Pete Colbath, drift from job to job. He worked in a real estate office, a video store and a fireworks store before opening a drive-through coffee shop, Java Pete's, in Hillsborough last year.
"Business is not growing fast," said Mr. Colbath, who added that he would probably support Mr. Huckabee in the primary. "The price of fuel and heating oil, that's making decisions for a lot of people."
With unleaded gasoline averaging $3.05 a gallon in New Hampshire — 2 cents lower than the national average but up from $2.41 a year ago — several people here said bringing more shops and other businesses to town was crucial. A Wal-Mart Supercenter was to open in Hillsborough, but the company changed its mind in the fall.
"The people who have to drive to Concord or Keene to buy shoes for their kids are really disappointed," said Kim Wells, who owns a gift shop here with her husband.
Mrs. Wells, the mother of Paris Wells, said she was an independent who liked Mr. Richardson, Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain. Her son praised Mr. McCain for realizing "we need to do something" to curb oil consumption, but he said he was not counting on the next president to make radical changes in energy policy.
Instead, Mr. Wells said he intended to cut his own energy costs.
"It's going to get tougher and tougher," he said. "I'm buying stuff now so when I retire, I can live totally off the grid."
Mrs. Hubbard, who said she would vote for Mr. Edwards, Mr. Obama or Mr. McCain because they seemed compassionate, wondered aloud why the candidates were not talking more about the need to conserve.
"We need leadership — someone to say, 'This is what we need to be doing, so let's all pull together,'" she said. "I'm just not seeing it."Continue reading the main story

When we speak of office furniture, it's not only referring to chairs and desks, but it also includes cabinets where you can keep files and documents. In today's time, cabinets come in so many shapes, sizes, materials, and designs. They are also available both in light and heavy-duty welding. A chemical storage cabinet for the workplace is flexible when it comes to storage capability.
These types of storage cabinets are a must in heavy-duty industries because there is a need to keep hazardous chemicals, as well as heavy tools. Thus, investing in a high-quality storage shelves is very important for the industry. Such cabinets are often welded in steel and having them in industrial places and factories will serve the following benefits.
- Easy Maintenance
- Durability
- Mobility
Aside from the benefits above, having a dangerous good storage cabinet will ensure that all substances are properly organized. As a result, this reduces workers time to search for the right materials which will increase the productivity of the employees. At the same time, these types of cabinets come in a variety of designs that does not only provide enough space, but will also make every space more elegant. These storage cabinets are available in the market in different types. Here are some of them.
1. Chemical Storage Cabinet
This one is designed to be a storage for combustible, flammable, corrosive, and pesticide materials. It is important to label the cabinets so it will be easier for all employees to locate the right materials. These cabinets can be placed in factories, laboratories, etc. They come in different sizes and even some extra shelves. There are chemicals that can cause health problems in case they come in contact with the skin. Therefore, it is a must that chemicals are properly stored in the cabinets.
2. Workshop Tool Storage
These are best for warehouses and workshops like cabinets. These are also ideal for accessories and heavy tools storage that are needed in factories and different industries. Cabinets need to be strong so heavy tools can be kept inside.
3. Metal Storage Cabinet
This type of cabinet is used indoors to keep linens, pantry items, and other materials. Outdoor cabinets are used to keep hardware items, tools, and paints. Since paint seldom flakes or peels, there is no need to repaint it.
The majority of these cabinets that are available in the market come with locks. These locks are helpful in keeping sensitive and important materials safe. They are also very important in case of hazardous chemicals as there is always a tendency for a fire breakout in factories. Therefore, to be on the safer side, it is important that organizations find and invest in the right kind of heavy-duty storage shelves.

Why we built Carrot
In the age of Slack and fast-moving conversations, the lack of focus and clarity have become a huge problem in the workplace.
Chat apps keep everyone connected throughout the day, and yet it's become even more difficult for teams to stay aligned around what matters most. How can that be?
This is the question that led us to build Carrot. What we found is that leadership is getting lost in the noise.
Sharing important team updates, news, and decisions alongside random chats just increases the likelihood it will scroll by without being noticed. It's difficult for the team to know what matters, and leaders have no idea if anyone even heard what they said.
Heavy Slack users ourselves, we wanted to design a Slack-friendly approach to handle must-see communication. We wanted this "non-chat" communication to be as fun, delightful and interactive as chat; but we also wanted it to be asynchronous so people could get caught up on their own time.
The result is Carrot - a platform for must-see communication that keeps everyone focused on what matters to build transparency, trust, and stronger teams.

Exploring the promise of technology for genotyping to improve seeds
Eric, Alessia, Madeleine, and Cyril are students from ETH Zurich participating in a northern California study tour, "Tackling Food System Challenges with IT Innovation." The tour explores the role of IT in addressing the food system challenge of ensuring food and nutrition security for a growing global population. In this post, they consider the potential of high-tech solutions being developed to improve seeds and ultimately contribute to global food security.
Monsanto offers us a way to improve seeds, but can we outsmart an ever changing nature?
We were impressed by the high degree of automatization utilized in the genotyping laboratories of Monsanto in Woodland California. This futuristic research site is geared to offer high throughput analytical services to breeders.
As we learned, Monsanto first grinds leave tissue samples to extract DNA and then analyzes the genetic material for the presence of traits that are of interest for the different stakeholders. To keep track of which sample belongs to which plant the actual macroscopic field or greenhouse is structured in the same architecture as used by the microscopic 96-well robot in the laboratory. The scientist in the group were amazed to learn how Monsanto is blurring the line between bench and farm work.
This process indicates a way to move away from the random selection of the next seed generation towards a more rational approach. Crop producers can already use this analytical service to screen the genetic potential of their plants to identify the most promising variants.
The variety of traits the breeder can emphasize on is virtually endless, from the color to the sweetness of the cultivated product. However, we feel that Monsanto is addressing an important issue by prioritizing resistance to both biological as well as physical stresses. Physical stresses include droughts and other adverse weather effects, which will be of ever growing importance.
It remains to be answered how much this research can contribute to global food security. While this approach allows to pick the most promising seeds based on the current knowledge it also drastically reduces diversity, which, to our understanding, makes the entire system extremely vulnerable to unforeseen challenges.
Blog Authors: Eric Stirnemann, Madeleine Widmer, Alessia Delbrück, and Cyril Statzer are students from ETH Zurich, and are participating in a study tour of ag and food tech innovations in northern California.
This study tour is part of ETH Meets California, a 10 day event organized by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) that brings some of its top researchers and students to California to unravel the mysteries of science and technology in an exchange of ideas with west coast counterparts in academia and industry.

As parents, we LOVE to do things for our children.
After all, it's an expression of love.
How could it be a bad thing?
There comes an age where doing too much for our children WILL negatively impact their future relationships.
In a word –
It's called self-responsibility and it is our job as parents to raise our children to learn to take accountability and responsibility for themselves, their choices and their actions.
You need to ask yourself if you are still driving forgotten homework or lunches to school is it age appropriate? Likewise, doing all their laundry and other chores which symbolize a start to maturity and accepting responsibility for themselves and being a part of a family.
There is a reason for the popular expression: We aren't raising children we are raising adults.
Add to that, an expression I myself coined: I am tired of watching children walking around masquerading as adults.
It is hard for parents to pull in the loving reigns; however, if our children are not taught self-accountability it will hurt them in their adult lives.
They will be the person who turns their spouse into a mommy or a daddy rather than a healthy relationship equal.
For instance, the spouse who is asked to bring milk or diapers home and forgets. The true problem with this scenario? The spouse shouldn't necessarily be asked at least not constantly. The spouse should recognize the need to be self-accountable for their lives and family and make the occasional call to see if something needs to be picked up.
Another example – the spouse who is constantly late. It's not up to the other spouse to turn into a parent and nag or beg them not to be late. It is up to the adult who is late to take accountability for a behavior which often stresses the people it impacts and take responsibility for themselves and address it.
If these two scenarios do not grab your attention perhaps this will.
The relationships in the home often go out into the world and manifest themselves in the workplace as well. This means a child who is not taught to be self-accountable will have someone who assumes the position of work mommy or work daddy and prods, reminds and rescues them at work as well. This a proven phenomenon. It's because in unhealthy families we play roles enabler, the golden child, etc. and then we go out into the world and attract ourselves to romantic relationships that replicate this and we remain in work relationships which also duplicate this.
Therefore, in the name of LOVE…
One of the best things we can do for our children is teaching them to be self-responsible.
It need not be filled with drama or emotion or fights but rather a plan.
In the second grade, I went into one of my children's teachers and explained I would be allowing him to forget his homework for the week. And would it be okay with her as I believed if I didn't do it now it would continue into high school. Her response surprised me. She told me she absolutely supported that and she wished more parents would do so. Then I explained to my son I was teaching him to remember his own homework.
There were no tears or drama or yelling. A week later we had resolved the situation. My son never forgot his homework again. That is the magic of consequences. They speak so much louder than yelling and frustration.
Of course, both parents have to be on the same page.
When my divorce began and my husband contradicted my parenting I had to once again deal with the subject of self-responsibility. It caused chaos and stress and yelling. It temporarily damaged otherwise wonderful relationships.
Because when one is a part of a relationship, family or workplace their behavior impacts others.
It's not okay to act and do as one pleases.
One must be self-responsible.
If not, they selfishly dump onto those they love and make them have to be overly responsible for them because they lack self-responsibility and are under accountable for their own life.
We must teach our children to be responsible for their own behavior good and bad and their own choices and responsibilities.
It will allow them to walk through life as capable and mature adults, not needy children.

I needed to read this hub because I don't really know my skills apart from the nursing world.I was just offered a job as a fill in Chef, what do I do with this? I love the idea but I have often said that cooking in the kitchen 7-days per week was not for me. I love to cook sometimes and on my turf, but can I hack this one? This certainly will be a challenge and its an opportunity to expand and evolve, to see what God have for me down the road. What do you think?
Wow! This one is really a treasure from heaven! Thanks for sharing! Voted up for a useful hub! =)
An excellent list for almost any professional.
I suggest people write the skills they need to develop down and note down what activities they do in a given day that helps build them.
Excellent down to earth advice. Great hub.
Great compilation of traits/skills for success. It does take a village . . .
Very inspiring and motivating - I will share it.
Also, I think I need to add to my skills. :)
That was a real inspiration to me. I have been blessed with many talents and skills and sometimes I feel that I am just spinning my wheels and not getting anywhere. Thanks so muc for the information.
You really got me to thinking this morning. I am now retired but I often think back on those times with great love and fondness, but this morning you got me to thinking about one person who was on my team..just before I retired who did everything she could to undermine the work of the team and of me. To put it mildly she tried to "stab me in the back" but I had something and someone greater on my side that stood in the gap for me. You got me to thinking about her so I said a prayer hoping that she is OK. Treasuresofheaven you really blessed me today.
Not sure if you are asking me or asking in general, but after spending close to 40 years in various senior management positions 17 of those as a CEO many of those skills were just part of me....some evolved...some eveloped...because it was a non-profit organization I because a really good technical writer, grant writer, report writer, but I think the one that I have been told is that I could inspire people to go the extra mile when they thought they couldn't. Relationship building is something I love. I love turning a group of unrelated, unalike people into a team. For what it's worth...
I agree, excellent list of skills. We should all stop and access or reaccess self from time to time. It should also serve as a way for leaders to access their team. Love this one.
Treasuresofheaven: That was an excellent list of valuable skills. I went down the list and mentally checked off which ones I have. I could zip right through most of them; however, I must admit I did have to wonder if I was up to par on a few of them.
Your list gave me a good idea of the skills I have and those I need to work on.

I've been up to my elbows in paint. We finally tackled the massive project of painting over the lemon-yellow family room. It really was a cheery yellow, and it was always very bright in there, which we loved, but it was also verrrry overpowering. I say massive project because the walls needed lots of touching up and scraping and sanding, plus there are a lot of those walls, and lots of windows and trim to paint around. I'm also a very slow painter. Thankfully my mom came over and helped, speeding up the process immensely. Thanks, mom!
A road trip to Ikea was also on the agenda. How do we manage Ikea on a busy Saturday with three tiny babes, you ask? The carts twirl very well on the floors, that's about all I've got.
It was 67 degrees here today, but we're back to cold starting tomorrow 🙁 Come on warm weather, I miss you so so much. What's the temp where you are?!

In our latest 20-minute journey across Trump-Land, I joined Alexis Conran of talkRADIO and conservative activist Alex Deane.
First, we assess the revelation of the "Quiet Resistance" within the Administration, and what — in combination with ongoing developments like the Trump-Russia investigation — it means for Donald Trump's future.
Then, after the break, I take on the questions of Deane as he tries to establish a level of Trumpian competence benefiting both the man and the country. After settling that assertion, we conclude with a quick look at the significance of November's mid-term elections.
To see Trump go in studs-up on John McCain, trying to present himself as the hero and McCain as the traitor — that may be a line that even my God-fearing folks in Alabama won't cross.

Tuesday, August 3, 2010
Phone operators generally promise to offer you loads of benefits. They give ads about nation-wide coverage that the pursue the consumers into availing the connection. Once the connection is taken, we come across dead spots somewhere or the other in the network coverage. Especially hitch-up's in Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) connection is common problem with most operators. This technology enables a user to access the Internet in Wi-Fi hotspots without network coverage. With the cost of wireless routers going down, now is the time to invest in a Wi-Fi enabled mobile phone.

10. BlackBerry Curve 8900
The BlackBerry curve 8900 is the best iteration of BlackBerry Curve. It's loaded with a number of apps that makes it a handy accessory for any professional. The design is extremely sleek and looks really stylish for a BlackBerry. The 480 x 360 resolution screen ensures that the picture clarity is exceptional. Wi-Fi ensures that the speed of surfing the net is truly great.

9.Sony EricSSon P1i
The Wi-Fi phone flaunts of a compact design that makes it good purchase. With a 3.2 Megapixel Camera interface is very responsive and has a host of application to enhance office productivity. The keyboard has an uncommon layout and needs some practice. Another problem with the phone is that the standard headphones are not compatible with the phone. Most importantly, it looses out on points for its HSDPA connectivity. This means that there are a limited connectivity options for this phone.

8. MOTOROLA Droid X
This is an ideal choice for Wi-Fi phone if you have big hands. Motorola has done a fine job of making the phone as slim as possible without cutting out on features. This phone features a fully skinned version of the Android 2.1. The TI OMAP3630 processor, in the phone performs better than the Nexus 1's Snapdragon processor in some occasions. The browser is virtually lag-free, scrolling down a page and zooming is a breeze. The Droid loses out on other phones of the same category as the camera interface can be sluggish. This phone could be better with a clutter-free interface to ensure better access to social networking updates. It is almost as if the OS of the phone bottlenecks the extremely capable hardware. On a rather serious note it is being reported that the Droid X is unmoddable and may be rendered useless, if you try to mod it. The story was covered by Gizmodo.

7. BlackBerry Storm 2
The new BlackBerry Storm 2 is the newbie from BlackBerry with some impressive features. One of the issues with the original BlackBerry Storm was that it did not have Wi-Fi. It was a major reason that BlackBerry Storm could not be made the standard of connectivity for which BlackBerry stands out. With "out of the box" support for push email, integration with MS Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino etc. SurePress is another feature that will stand out in its execution.
- Camera: 3.2 MP camera, Flash, Auto-focus, 2x digital zoom, Image stabilization1
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi Enabled, Supports BlackBerry App World, Bluetooth Enabled
- Multimedia Player
- Wireless Email
- Organizer
- Browser
- Phone
- Corporate Data Access
6. HTC Hero
The stylish HTC Hero is a delight to use. Even though it is almost identical to the HTC Magic in terms of technical specifications, it was the first mobile that had an aesthetical appeal equivalent to iPhone. The look and feel of the Wi-Fi cell phone sets it apart from its fore-bearers. The 5 mega pixel camera makes it an outstanding product. The battery power of the phone needs a special mention for its longevity that can extend to a day while surfing on a Wi-Fi network. The touchscreen interface can be a little sluggish at times, this is because the processor is a paltry Qualcomm 528MHz CPU. The Sense onscreen keyboard can be quiet unresponsive.
Display: 3.2-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen with 320×480 HVGA resolution
Camera: 5.0 megapixel color camera with auto focus
Audio supported formats: MP3, AAC(AAC, AAC+, AAC-LC), AMR-NB, WAV, MIDI

Capacity: 1350 mAh
Talk time: Up to 420 minutes for WCDMA
Standby time: Up to 750 hours for WCDMA
microSD memory card (SD 2.0 compatible)
5. Nokia N900
The processor that runs the Nokia N900 is a monster and a totally customizable home screen gives this phone a clear advantage over other Wi-Fi phones in our list. Nokia promoted the phone as a "phone for tweakers". The Maemo 5 may be the most beautiful platform to grace a Nokia cell phone. The standout feature for this device is of course the Skype integration. All you need to do is add your Skype account and make VoIP calls just as you would make a GSM call. The built-in Ovi Maps is not that efficient as it requires a clear GPS line of sight. Running on a BL-5J battery the charge should last a day with moderate usage. The Keyboard may seem to be a little cramped. Overall a solid experience.

- Resolution: 800 x 480 pixels (WVGA)

4.NEXUS One
The fast Snapdragon processor makes the Nexus One almost the definitive Android set. The stand out features are the 512 Mb RAM and ROM. Google did not pull any punches when it came in the mobile phone market. The display is AMOLED 480 x 800, which means that the image quality is generally crisp throughout. The mighty 1GHZ processor means the online experience is generally hassle-free. The low power AMOLED screen means that the battery lasts for a long time. A major issue is the absence of multi-touch. Gaming options for this phone is very limited.
- Size: Height 119 mm Width 59.8 mm Depth11.5 mm
- Weight: 130 g (with battery), 100 g (without battery)
- Display: 3.7 inch (diagonal) widescreen WVGA AMOLED touchscreen, 800 x 480 pixels, 100,000:1 typical contrast ratio

Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
A2DP stereo Bluetooth
- Memory: 512 MB Flash, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB Micro SD Card (Expandable to 32 GB)
3. Palm Pre
The most complete Palm phone till date. This phone marked Palm's arrival in the modern smartphone generation.
This is the first phone we have reviewed that is based on Linux. The Web-OS is very intuitive and user-friendly. The killer feature in this phone is The Synergy. This feature will create linked accounts for any account the user may have. This means that all your Facebook, Gmail, AIM account will be clubbed into one.
Any messages or updates into the account will be sent to the phone directly. The cache management with its integrated web browser is expertly done this means that moving back a web page is very fast. The phone comes with a TI OMAP3 processor.
The camera is a 3.2 mega-pixel camera. But the image quality is superb. Furthermore, the image processing is done in almost real time. It eliminates almost any shutter lag.
- Display: Type Color, Technology TFT
- Size: 320 x 480 pixels
- Physical Size: 3.10 inches
- Camera: 3.15 MP, 2048×1536 pixels, enhanced fixed focus, LED flash
- Memory: 8 GB storage, 256 MB RAM
- Geo-tagging
- Touch Screen
- Multi-touch
- Proximity Sensor
- Light sensor
- Full keyboard (QWERTY)
2. Apple iPhone 4
When Steve Jobs said that he wanted the iPhone to look like an antique Leica camera he was on top of his wits. This iteration of the phone has been made a lot slimmer. Just holding it gives a sense of class. The design is amalgamates three metallic parts that are sandwiched together. If we consider the design it is clearly the best Wi-Fi enabled handset in the market. The 960 x 640 IPS display has been hyped by Apple as 'The Retina Display'. The detail of the screen is simply mind blowing. Apple has upped the ante with a 5 Megapixel camera in the back. It also features a VGA camera in the front.
The main reason why the iPhone 4 doesn't top the list is the "deathgrip" issue. Holding the iPhone 4 in a certain way results in loosing all its reception. The problem can be so intense that that the users may be dropped from a call. Apple has announced that they will provide a "bumper" free of cost that will solve this issue. However its remains a serious drawback particularly for right handed users.
- Size: 4.5 inches (115.2 mm), 2.31 inches (58.6 mm), 0.37 inch (9.3 mm)
- Weight: 4.8 ounces (137 grams)
- Display: Retina display, 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen Multi-Touch display
960-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi
800:1 contrast ratio (typical)
500 cd/m2 max brightness (typical)
Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating on front and back
Support for display of multiple languages and characters simultaneously
- Assisted GPS
- Digital compass
- Wi-Fi Cellular
The HTC EVO 4G is a power-house. The phone wears a cool look enhanced with bright red accents. The 8 mega pixel camera with auto focus and dual LED flash makes the photos extremely vibrant. The much-hyped 720 p video capture in the phone is simply great. The image clarity is awe-inspiring. The phone has the option for recording in MPEG4 as well as a H.264 output.
The Android Os 2.1 built into the phone feels really responsive and runs smoothly. The phone has a number of connectivity options like WiMax, Wi-Fi and supports 4G as well. The browsing experience on the phone is fast. HTC EVO allows smooth loading of websites that consume much resources and make calls with the help of CDMA simultaneously. The download speed can reach upto 7.5 Mbps depending on the network. In short this is one of the most complete devices we have seen in a long time. It even adds flash support with the new Android 2.2 update.
- Display: 4.3 inch LCD screen.
- Processor: 1 Ghz processor.
- Memory: 1 GB ROM, 512 MB RAM.
- Camera: 8 MP camera with HD quality video recording.
- Connectivity: Wifi, Wi-Max
- Storage options: 8 GB microSD card
The mobile phone market has opened up a lot over the past three years. This is because Google's Android OS has improved a lot it is now very user-friendly and a lot of phone manufacturers are using it on their phone. With a lot of anticipitated cell phones yet to launch in 2010 the list is set to change. Check out these phones and tell us how you feel about them.

icebreakers, it can be hard meeting new people so sometimes you need a few questions that will help get you both talking! Step 1: Decide what you want your team members to learn from one another: Whats the one thing I could do to be a better co-worker? They then have two minutes to learn about their team building partner. The main variation is in the content of the questions you suggest the answer.
Politics: This is another one of those topics that is easy to disagree on, and you really dont want to get into a heated debate (unless, of course, the two of you are into that). Topics to Avoid With a list of questions to ask, it becomes necessary to provide a list of topics that should probably be avoided on a first date. Participants can tell their partner: their name, their contact information, what they do for a living, and why they attended the training session. Foot rub or back rub? (You can do this same setup with fewer or more people.). In essence, you leave them wanting to know more from and about one another aka real deal team building at work!

Sometimes I am asked, "When are the best times to shop?" For spring/summer, the time is NOW. Actually, it is a little late in the sale season now. Sales have been going for at least a month or more; however, we are now in prime time for final markdowns, which is when you find your best deals (but there is also less selection).
The other question I am occasionally asked, "Where do you like to shop?" My broad answer to this question is "everywhere." I pick up finds at vintage shops, boutiques and "regular" mall stores. I also enjoy shopping when I travel because when I purchase pieces outside of Dallas I have a greater chance of having things no one else will have in their wardrobes.
To be more specific, here are my top four spots for clothes shopping in Dallas:
(1) Nordstrom Northpark is where I pick up work basics like cardigans, pencil skirts and trousers. Ask for Jennifer Parsons to assist you. She stays very busy, so if she is not available to assist you, she can set you up to shop with one of the store's other personal stylists. Shopping with a personal stylist is a service offered free of charge by Nordstrom, and it is a service I highly recommend. It is a great time-saver, and their stylists have the eye for what looks good.
(2) Tootsies is where I like to pick up pieces that are one step beyond basic like printed jeans, colorful blouses and funky jewelry. Ask for Pat or Betsy to assist you. They are fun and knowledgeable about the store's merchandise, and they are also honest about what looks good and what pieces can be tailored to fit well. Here are my finds from this week's consolidation sale, which ends tomorrow: J. Brand printed jeans (love!), three dots white tank top (a basic I needed) and a Lulu Guiness cosmetic case (I had been looking for a new case for my handbag for months).
(3) Elements is where I shop for cool wardrobe treasures, pieces I know I will have for many years and love wearing because of their unique design. Elements carries lines you may not have heard of, but you think you should like Mackage and Plein Sud. Ask for Stevie. She's a brilliant stylist, always spot on with what works for you, and she's just plain cool. Here I am wearing a pair of high-waist, white flair jeans by Notify I snagged at their final markdown sale last August. When Stevie said I look like Olivia Newton John in these jeans, I practically threw my dollars at her feet.
(4) Forty Five Ten is a shop you may be afraid to go into because they carry the top designer goods, and they are repeatedly featured in fashion magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Elle. However, if you have all of your wardrobe basics covered and you would like to start adding designer pieces to your "collection," this is the place to go. Their final markdown is the time to go if you have a limited budget (as I do). Here I am wearing a Comme des Garcon skirt I purchased at this year's final markdown sale.
Lastly (but certainly not least), I would like to give a shout-out to Lou Lou, located across the street from Elements on Lovers Lane. They carry all kinds of fun shoes and great handbags at prices that won't break your bank. The owner Molly Thayer Justman, a fellow Louisiana girl, has the eye for what we'll love having in our wardrobes.
To close, I must brag on my finds from Gap this week. I have enjoyed my cotton pants I've bought there the last two summers, so I decided to go in this week to see if I could get another pair for a good price. Well, I not only found another pair of cotton pants (in cobalt blue, no less), but I also scored three tops and a pair of hot pink shorts. All five pieces rang up for a grand total of $67, including tax. Wow!
So, there you have it – Bethany's shopping haunts revealed. Nothing too exotic or crazy is on the list, as you can see. The key is knowing what you want and need, and being sure of your brand and what pieces will best communicate it. If you need help, let me know. I'd be delighted to assist you!

Non-Toxic Beauty Must-Haves for Your Wedding Day
Green beauty is one of the top wellness trends of 2018 and it's easy to see why!
Whether you're prepping for your wedding day or hosting a swanky soirée, you should feel gorgeous without compromising the ingredients in your beauty arsenal.
After years of trial and error for my personal makeup + beauty routine, I've learned the do's and don'ts of green beauty so you don't have to. Browse my top 5 non-toxic beauty must-haves below!
1) Sappho New Paradigm Essential Foundation
Rated the #1 foundation on The Detox Market, this beauty dynamo leaves your skin glowing and dewy so you'll be camera ready!
2) Ambre Blends Perfumes
Finding a fragrance that is truly all natural AND smells beautiful can be a wild goose chase. Either they don't smell good, don't last long or they're not really all natural. Ambre blends are made from essential oils and actually smell amazing. The Ambre (brown) and Ahnu (purple) are my personal faves, but each one is beautiful!
3) RMS Beauty Living Luminizer
A favorite with a cult following by both mainstream and non-toxic makeup lovers alike, this luminizer is sooo flattering! Add to your cheekbones, browbone or eyelids for the most natural and swoon-worthy glow.
4) Piperwai Natural Deodorant
Natural deodorants can be tricky. Piperwai's formula features activated charcoal which can absorb up to 1000x its weight in moisture, keeping you dry from your morning latte to your late-night dance moves!
5) Lily Lolo Vegan Mascara
This vegan mascara is dark, buildable and comes in a sleek, stylish package. It's long-lasting and doesn't run, making this a green beauty winner! Tip: curl your lashes before applying for extra wow factor.
That's a wrap, beautiful friends!
Remember that green beauty products do not have preservatives or toxic ingredients that keep them "performing" for long hours like conventional beauty staples. Keep these items close at hand for touch ups on days when you need extra-long wear time!
Interested in Green Beauty but overwhelmed by the thought of swapping out your go-to products with healthier options? The Detox Market offers a great sample program for almost all of their products. You can order four samples for just $7.99 – that way you can try out some new green beauty brands before you commit!
Cheers to you, lovelies!


text: Politics 2 March 2013 28 Dates Later by Willard Foxton: Part Six, The Farmgirl In which Willard gets his first proper kiss since the project began. NSSign UpGet the New Statesman's Morning Call email. It's fair to say a great many of my friends have commented on my dating adventures. Most of them have just laughed, but a select happy few have pointed me in the directions of dating sites that they themselves or friends have used successfully - or alternatively, ones that they think me going on would be hilarious: My friend Janine (who is now becoming a regular feature of the blog) would like to make it clear she's not into polygamy personals, or threesomes, she just thinks it would be funny to see me blunder into them. Another ludicrous favourite that has been suggested is Sea Captain dating, which measures your distance to your dates in Nautical miles - but more on that later. (Yarrrr). While some of them have been a bit optimistic - for example, my friend who met her husband through millionaire dating ("I was sick of being taken out in Birmingham, decided I wanted to be taken out to Barbados") - there was one message from an old university friend that caught my eye. Hi Willard, I hope you are well. I saw your blog post - I think you beat some of my crackers! That said I thought I'd share with you that Tom and I met on Muddy Matches, it's an agricultural / country dating website. There were some astounding men on there, and not in a good way. Having been assessed by some as to whether I'd breed well (estimated breed value ebv is a common term in ag) I was lucky to find Tom. If you're in need of entertainment then it's worth having a look! Just thought if you were looking for a different type of women it does have a good mix on there!! So, farmer dating. Yes, we're definitely back in the twilight zone. As my ex-Sun journo housemate said, taking a drag on his cigarette "I dunno mate, Muddy Matches sounds like a cover for shitlovers.com". As a confirmed urbanite - I live in the middle of London and love it - I was a little nervous about logging on to a site which enables you to meet "muddy" country types. I couldn't help flashing back to one afternoon in a rural barrister's chambers in my mid twenties, when a man wearing tweed with bushy white sideburns & wellies walked in, laid his double barrelled shotgun on the clerk's desk and said, in a broad west country accent "Oi'll be needin' a lawyer, Oi've just shot moi woife". Indeed, much of my mercifully brief legal career consisted of defending tractor thieves who hailed from a hamlet near Bath called Norton Radstock. I was slightly worried anyone I might meet on the site would be the sort of ruddy faced person who chews tobacco and readily uses a bit of rope as a belt, but at least the Radstock experience would stand me in good stead if the conversation turned to the value of agricultural machinery. I was slight reassured that the site's "rate your own muddiness" calculator proclaimed me to be "Muddy at heart, but you think civilisation also has a lot to offer", but equally worried that the top three options on "how did you hear about this site" were "Horse & Hound magazine", "The Field" or "at a cross-country point to point", none of which were things I was that into. So, I put myself out there. After a couple of days, I had a couple of messages, but one leaped out at me. There were plenty of "country girls at heart" who lived on the King's Road (it seems very good for finding those - if you're a bloke who loves horse riding with women called Persephone, you probably couldn't find a better site), but there was only one actual farmer. She was a fruit farmer from Berkshire, and she was very flattered by my offer to come out to her village for a swift pint. So, one evening, I jumped on a train from Paddington, and ventured out into the wilds. We'd agreed to meet at the station, and so I waited there for five minutes in the freezing rain before she pulled up, in her battered Land Rover. I laughed, but what did I expect? She flung open the door, invited me to jump in, and we sped off to a local pub. She was very pleasant - late thirties, had worked in the City for a few years before jacking it in to take over the family farm. She'd been with the same bloke for about 8 years, but had broken up with him last year when it turned out he was a bit of a shit. We had a lovely chat in front of the pub fire, decided to extend the evening into dinner. We talked about how we'd both dodged the bad marriage bullet, politics, how rubbish the EU is, our families - we'd both had parents in the military, so we were able to compare notes on growing up as army brats. She had a great dirty laugh, and was seriously flirtatious, in a kind of wax jacketed, upper class, graduate of Cheltenham ladies college way. She told me of the difficulty of meeting a man when her main concern was often making supermarkets pay on time for tons of raspberries; her last date was with a Bulgarian farm worker called Dmitar, although it was "less dating, more just sex really. His English wasn't really up to conversation". The mind boggles. Farming was never like this on The Archers. After dinner, she drove me back to the station, and I got my first proper kiss of the dating project! Hurrah! This post originally appeared at 28 Dates Later.

2014 - Transplant Infectious Disease Conference
Drugs and Devices
5.1 - VAD\'s infection and prophylaxis
Presenter: Oriol, Manuel, Lausanne, Switzerland
Authors: Oriol Manuel
Ventricular assist devices (VAD) are an established option for patients suffering from end-stage heart failure waiting for heart transplantation or as a destination therapy. While patient survival after VAD implantation may reach up to >80% at one year, a major complication associated with VAD support is the high incidence of infections of the devices, ranging from 25-70%. VAD infections can be life-threatening and/or may jeopardize subsequent transplantation. Any part of the device can be involved in these infections, including the driveline, the pocket or the pump itself. Although Gram positive cocci are the most common pathogens involved in VAD infections, other pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacteriaciae and Candida have also been described as a cause of VAD infection. Prevention of infection after VAD implantation is challenging, and includes perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis and a strict care of the driveline exit.
The presence of VAD at the time of transplant has not been associated with the development of post-transplant infections and on an overall increasing mortality. However, patients with a pre-transplant VAD infection may have increased early post-transplant mortality. Despite that, heart transplantation is not contraindicated in patients with VAD infection as it may be curative because of the removal of the device during transplantation.
As infection is one of the more worrisome complications after VAD implantation, it is essential to develop new strategies and prospective studies to optimize prevention and treatment of VAD infections.
