Jetcam, InspecVision announce collaboration
Jetcam International s.a.r.l., Monaco, a developer of CAD/CAM software, and InspecVision Ltd., Ireland, a manufacturer of photogrammetry measuring systems for flat and folded parts, recently announced that they will collaborate on technical and commercial levels to provide enhanced integration between their products.
Companies that are looking to reverse-engineer components will benefit from the ability to scan a previously manufactured part and generate NC code for a nest of those components within seconds, Jetcam reports. Once parts are manufactured, they can then be scanned and compared with the original electronic file for accuracy.
InspecVision users will be able to use Jetcam's SCAP (Single Component Automatic Processing) facility. This allows the InspecVision system to provide the Jetcam Expert CAD/CAM software with a CAD file produced from a scan of a component, which then is automatically tooled, nested, sequenced, and generated as NC code for a specified machine. The process is completely automated, and CAD files can automatically be tooled or profiled for any CNC machine tool configured within the Expert system.

"I made these cards as invitations for my father's "Second Bar Mitzvah." (i.e. his 83rd Birthday). EVERYONE just loved them. We received so many compliments for the invites. It was great that we were able to make them very quickly ourselves.
I love Shutterfly. It is the best photo product website ever!"
"I have ordered invitations on numerous occasions. I have never been disappointed that which is something that I can't say about all my online purchases on the internet. The cardstock is very durable pictures come out as you see them. My issues are very minor. I would like the ability to customize more of the text on the cards. I'd also appreciate a couple of extra envelopes for when I have an error. These complaints are minor in comparison to what I am getting which is why I have used them so often in the past and will continue to order my cards and invitations in the future"
"I loved the cards I received. The paper used is thick and good quality. The pictures are very clear. They turned out great."
"Couldn't be more pleased. The quality of the print perfection, the card stock superior. Very, very pleased. It made my sister's birthday. The best gift ever. Take the time to make a card!"
"These cards turned out really beautiful. Everything Shutterfly does is so beautiful. I make albums here and now first time I did cards - love them!!"
If you are ready to start planning a bar mitzvah for that special boy in your life, don't forget the custom bar mitzvah invitations. Although there is nothing wrong generic, custom invites happen to give the event the personal touch and warmth it deserves. You want to encourage everyone that you invite to this event to come, and the best way to do that is by creating personalized bat mitzvah invitations and bar mitzvah invitations that speak to their beliefs, heart and eyes.

Making Sense of One Dollar CEO Salaries

Contemporary Accounting Research, September 2015, Vol. 32, No. 3, pp. 941-972.
We examine the determinants and outcomes of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) accepting a $1 salary, a compensation practice that occurs relatively frequently in high-profile firms and is debated by regulators, investors, and the media. Using a hand-collected sample of 93 CEOs from 91 firms between 1993 and 2011, we examine the triggers preceding the $1 salary decision, the factors associated with the decision, subsequent stock returns, and the outcomes for the CEOs. Our evidence is consistent with two explanations for the phenomenon: 1) it is a gesture of sacrifice by CEOs of firms in crisis, and 2) it is a signal of better future performance by CEOs of growing firms. Our analyses highlight the two different circumstances and shed light on an interesting debate that has thus far been supported only by anecdotal evidence.

- Floating 'Pro' ear loops deliver professional comfort
- CSA, HECC, CE Certified

Comments: This helmet is awesome, cheap and amazing style while still protecting the old melon, only downside is that its not the best vented with someone with long flow like myself but it looks amazing with a visor, or CCM 580 cage on it. 18U AA player.
From: Ryan, Clovis, CA
Comments: Excellent helmet. I use this for men's Roller Derby, and it definitely stands up to the test.
Comfort is fine - one thing about these compared to normal derby helmets is that it really does not move at all (I see this as a safety feature) - it slides straight down on your head to one position, and then really cannot be adjusted from there. The downside to that is getting an itch on your head can be difficult to deal with, but if you wiggle it a bit it tends to take care of that. I wear this with a bandanna underneath (just for sweat), and it does sometimes take two or three tries putting it on to get it to settle right, but that's a bandanna issue more than a helmet issue.
The reason I bought this over others is for the removable ear-covers. My hearing isn't great, so taking the ear-covers off helped a lot with hearing my teammates and refs. I've never really taken any impact to the ear-region even before this helmet, so the protection there has been a non-issue for me.
From: Christ, Dallas, TX
Comments: I had first gotten a CCM V08 but that had become unbearably uncomfortable so I bought the 4500 at the pro shop at my ice rink and I couldn't be happier. At times it gets a little uncomfortable, but to fix that all you have to do is take the helmet off and put it back on. Oh, this helmet also has unreal sty and looks great with a ccm 480/580, bauer rbe iii, and a bauer fishbowl. This helmet also isn't as bad as everyone says. the thick white foam protects you from when you are being pushed around in every day hockey play, the black foam under that protects from harder hits, and then the red foam on your temples and the top of your head protect from the hardest hits. There is a reason that almost every college hockey team in the nation uses this helmet, and then most of the American Junior Hockey Teams. This is a must buy if youre in the market for a new helmet because it goes great with every cage, is extremely comfortable, and also protects very well. It also is under $100. Great Purchase.
From: SnipeShow, WA
Comments: ok so this is my first hockey helmet. I am using it for Roller Derby and it is so much better than the skateboard helmets I have used in the past. I actually fits my head without a bandana or 3, breathes well, and I am no longer afraid of getting kicked in the head by a roller skate! I can't wait to see how it performs in a bout! The foam is a little hard when ya first put the bucket on, but quickly forms to your head. The color is true to the description, the fit is true to its size, it is light weight and the price is right. This helmet is a great option for the hard core derby girl or other athletes' in hard hitting contact sports.
From: twisted skipper #313, Marquette, MI
Comments: Great helmet, comfortable, and looks really great. Ive had mine for about 2 years now and couldn't be happier with the protection and comfort
From: Kelso, CA
Comments: Great helmet..Makes kids with no sick flow have flow. Also I broke in 3 concussions with this helmet...Why do I keep using it? Well Ill tell you why...Its all about looking like a true beaut on the ice
From: Anonymous, NJ
Comments: Still the best! Fits true and looks nice. Does it's job = protection. Great product!
From: Peter, PA
Comments: Bought the 4500 in black size medium. I wear a 7 1/8" fitted hat and it is pretty tight fitting. Got a CCM 580 cage size medium which fits pretty well except if you want to use J-hooks to secure the cage even more. Classic look, should last me for a long time.
From: Grant, CA
Comments: This helmet is great. Manny NHL players use them and they have been a classic for
a long time. The thing i love about this helmet is that it can be used for a beginner
recreational player all the way to pro! Overall great helmet highly recommend it anybody
looking for a helmet.
From: Gabriel, NY
Comments: Decent bucket that is pretty light and fairly comfortable. It
adjusts easily enough on the bench if you keep a Philips screwdriver
nearby. It's angled a bit odd though and has some pressure points for
me, but if you have more of a round head it'd probably fit well. It's
not a big deal anyway since the VN foam isn't overly hard or
From: Jack, Ontario, Canada
Comments: This helmet is excellent, and there's a reason why many pros still wear it. Classic look, simple design, and a great price. Plus, the XL fits my size 8 dome, although the padding is a bit stiff. Overall, this is what I think a hockey helmet should look like, and I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone I know! In fact, I just bought my Dad one to replace his wasted Cooper bucket from the early 90's.
From: Will
Comments: retty decent helmet for the money! its light, fits well, comfortable and it does its job well. not a big fan of the cage but thats an easy fix.
From: Michael
Comments: Love this helmet. My small is a little loose, but it's nice and cool, and I really like the profile of it.
From: Chris
Comments: This helmet is perfect for any player. The fit is nice and the price is even better. Any bauer shield will fit on this helmet too!
From: Ryan
Comments: Decent Helmet. I have a huge head so I have to extended the biggest size all the way but the fit is similar to all helmets so no need to size up or down. It offers average protection and for the price you won't find anything better for the price. All these reason are why this helmet has been around and a staple at rinks for years. The only complaint I have is the foam padding is hard so it has little give and can be uncomfortable for some and during long periods of use. This padding keeps it from having great protection but is also what keeps it at a great price, so if you're really worried about protection and have the cash I'd suggest going up to the 7500, 9900, or Cascade M11.
From: Adam, Cinnaminson, NJ, USA
Comments: Great helmet. Fits nice, looks nice, and relatively cheap for what you're getting. I recommend it to anyone from the beginner to intense player, nice and cool while playing too.
From: Ryan

Goldman: Investors More Likely to 'Punish Misses Than Reward Beats'
Some early lessons from the start of earnings season: Investors have been more likely to sell stocks of companies that miss expectations rather than buy those that beat estimates.
That's what Goldman Sachs concludes about 20% of the way through the current reporting period.
So far 52% of the companies that have reported results and have beaten estimates on either earnings or revenue have witnessed their stock prices outperform the S&P 500 the next trading day, according to Goldman.
Meanwhile, 77% of the companies that have missed on at least one metric have underperformed the next day, Goldman says.
Earnings season will pick up in earnest this week, with more than 80 S&P 500 companies scheduled to report quarterly results DuPont fourth-quarter profit fell 70% from a year ago, although the diversified manufacturer said it expects earnings to rebound in the second half of the year. Shares rose 1%.
Shares of Verizon Communications also edged up even after the company reported a fourth-quarter loss Johnson & Johnson fell after forecasting lower-than-expected 2013 profits.
Tech stocks in particular will soon take the spotlight as more than half of the S&P 500′s tech sector is scheduled to report this week. Google and IBM are on the docket later Tuesday, Apple Inc., and Netflix are scheduled to report on Wednesday and Microsoft and Nokia will report Thursday.
"The tech sector represents the biggest risk to earnings," says Amanda Snieder, an analyst at Goldman Sachs.
Analysts currently expect fourth-quarter earnings to grow 4% from a year ago, according to S&P Capital IQ, down from the 9.6% growth projection in October.
With the S&P 500 up about 4% throughout the first three weeks of the year, it's no wonder investors may not be so forgiving when it comes to rewarding or punishing stocks based on earnings results over the next few weeks.
"So far, the market appears more likely to punish misses than reward beats," Snieder says.

Let's see, we have a flower bed, a wind sock, a dominatrix bride, a slutty bride and…
Actually, I like Zendaya's outfit. Edgy, good color and shows the assets in an interesting way.
Amber rose looks matronly but classy.
Pia? Who?
Well let's just say you can tell whose advertising for trax.
I emptied my shredder's bin yesterday, didn't even realize that Karrueche person was going to steal it for her dress.
I don't know who Pia Mia is, but if you took away the head kerchief, that outfit is smoking. Poor Ashanti, she needs to look into that boob duct tape they use for the Miss America pageants.ReplyCancel
Pia Mia is channeling Lucy Ricardo and Ethel Mertz working in the candy factory.ReplyCancel
KaHoochie Tran – she is no
Model! (As Enty had called her)
Ashanti – that's a big fat nooooo. That reminds me, I have pancake batter left over that I can have for b-fast.ReplyCancel
Zendaya FTW!! IMHO.
Gabby Unions outfit prob felt good to wear. I love dresses like that AND over the knee /thigh high boots! Not sure what I think that looks like. But I know I'd feel comfy wearing it.ReplyCancel
What's with all the Angie legs?ReplyCancel
Reno, cause both legs showing looks like a diaper/breechclout?ReplyCancel
I see your point.ReplyCancel
God I wish K would go away. Kerry looked stunning, but wth Enty, these were the nobodies of the show. Amber?ReplyCancel
Nelly – roll that joint bro!ReplyCancel
Lots of bad fashion last night and everyone was sweaty.ReplyCancel
Ashanti. Your tits look horrible in that dress.
Who the fuck is this Zendaya person, and why do I hear about her? Ah, I still don't care.ReplyCancel
Those things hanging off Karrueche's dress look like rice vermicelli noodles.ReplyCancel
i dig pia mia's style there. never heard of her before today.ReplyCancel
Oh, gawd, Ashanti! Put a f-ing bra on, FFS!ReplyCancel

Utah's 2009 population 2.8 million
The Utah Population Estimates Committee announced Utah's population was an estimated 2,800,089 on July 1, 2009-up 42,310 or 1.5 percent from July 1, 2008.
Emery County's population was an estimated 10,848 on July 1, 2009-up 2.2 percent from July 1, 2008. Southeastern District (Carbon, Emery, Grand, San Juan) population was an estimated 55,752 on July 1, 2009-up 1.4 percent from July 1, 2008.
"In 2007 we added 84,425 people to our population, the equivalent of a city the size of Ogden; last year we added 58,225, a city the size of Taylorsville. In 2009, we added 42,310 people, a city the size of Draper," said Michael Mower, Utah Population Estimates Committee Chair.
Utah's unique characteristics of a high fertility rate and low mortality rate consistently contribute to strong natural increase, the difference between births and deaths. In 2009, the number of births did not surpass the record of 55,357 set in 2008. However the 54,548 births led to a strong natural increase of 40,763. Deaths within the state totaled 13,785 in 2009. Natural increase accounted for about 96 percent of total population growth.
The committee estimated net in-migration in 2009 was 1,547, or only 4 percent of total population growth. Net in-migration the previous year was 16,648, or about 29 percent of total population growth.
Juliette Tennert, a member of UPEC and Utah's State Demographer said, "The estimates show the severity of the economic contraction we've experienced in Utah-net-in migration reached a historic high of 44,252 people in 2007, this year the net was only 1,547. Though net in-migration is much lower than in previous years, it is still positive, which suggests that Utah's economic opportunities are still better than in other states."
This year, the most rapid regional growth rates occurred in counties along the Wasatch Back and in the Uintah Basin area of the State, as well as in counties adjacent to larger population centers. The populations in Duchesne, Morgan, San Juan, and Wasatch counties are all expanding faster than the state average. Washington County has shifted from the fastest growing county in the state in 2005 with a growth rate of 8.4 percent to the second slowest in 2009 with an increase of 0.5 percent. Carbon County was the only county to have a population decline, with a loss of 0.4 percent.
For 2009, the following counties had the highest population growth rates: Duchesne 3.6 percent; Morgan 3.1 percent; San Juan 2.9 percent; Uintah 2.8 percent; Wasatch 2.6 percent; Sanpete 2.5 percent; Daggett 2.5 percent; Utah 2.3 percent; Emery 2.2 percent; Rich 2.2 percent. For 2009, the following counties had the highest population increases: Utah-11,810; Salt Lake-11,606; Davis-5,741; Weber-2,723; Cache-2,435; Tooele-903; Uintah-845; Washington-756.

Court will hear oral arguments in the case dealing with a proposed senior living facility in Port Richmond on March 11.
Monsignor William Lynn, locked up since his historic June 2012 child endangerment conviction, is no longer in custody.
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has rescheduled its 26th annual Christmas Concert due to last Sunday's snow storm. The concert will now be held on Sunday, Dec. 15, at 7 p.m. at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary. Admission is free.
Outlook: The Railsplitters have sandwiched the season's only win (a 6-2 victory in Week 2 over Overbrook) around two ugly losses, first a 47-21 defeat at Truman to open the year followed by last week's 31-0 shutout at the hands of Upper Dublin. Lincoln hasn't seen much develop in its rushing attack (LeRon Strothers leads the way with 56 yards on 20 carries), but QB Devon Thompkins has shown signs of improvement in taking over for the graduated Miguel Sanchez. Though he's thrown only one TD pass so far, Thompkins has completed 28 of 60 passes for 306 yards, and is developing a nice chemistry with Ryan transfer Travon Williams, who has caught half of Thompkins' passes for 164 yards. Head coach Ed McGettigan's team will continue trying to get better when it opens up Class AAAA Silver Division play at South Philadelphia; after two defeats to open their season, the Rams responded last week with a 33-14 win over Valley Forge Military Academy.
A convicted felon with a history of assaulting police shot and critically wounded a Philadelphia police officer during a violent struggle inside a Feltonville corner store on Tuesday afternoon.

Stolly does his former team proud
August 13 2008 08:24PM
It's pretty rare that we get star-struck, unless Georges Laraque rolls passed us in a pearl-white Escalade, rolling on dubs, being driven by the Nation's own Robin Brownlee (we've never actually seen this, but we often dream about it). Right now, we can't help but feel a little excited, a little proud, and maybe even a little aroused at the big news today.
Yes, it's true. What once belonged to Rod Stewart will soon belong to Jarret Stoll: Rachel Hunter and young Stolly are reportedly tying the knot. From the Mail Online:
They have not named the day but Stoll told the same radio station [in Hunter's native New Zealand]: 'The proposal was romantic.' The couple have been dating for two years and live together in L.A with Hunter's children by crooner Stewart, Renee, 16, and Liam, 14. The engagement news comes almost ten years after Hunter split from Stewart - who at 63 is 37 years older than Stoll. Last year, he wed Penny Lancaster, 37, also a model, in Italy.
Now, we'd be a hell of a lot more excited about this if Stoll were still rocking the copper and blue. But there's the whole "he dated her when he was still in Edmonton" claim to fame that we like to toss in the faces of our out-of-town pals when we get together to drown our sorrows in moonshine and stolen chocolate bars behind the Mac's on Jasper and 112 Street.
According to our sources, Stolly stands to gain:
- Two children belonging to Rod Stewart
- A smokin' hot beauty wife
- Admiration from citizens of the Nation
Ah, the trickle down effect of a former Oiler shacking up with a leggy beauty. It brings a tear to our remaining good eye, lambs.
(Tip 'o the hat to David S for bringing this to our attention.)
August 13 2008, 08:33PM
As I posted in the article this story originally broke in:
""As Hunter visited Hautapu Primary School near Cambridge yesterday with her Canadian ice hockey star boyfriend Jarret Stoll to help launch a reading initiative for children, all eyes turned to the glittering rock on her finger."
(To the popular sesame street song) One of these words is not like the other…"
August 13 2008, 11:33PM
Is it the STAR in "Hockey Star" that doesn't belong? Cause if he were a star I am sure he would be able to score at even strength....Come to think of it how does he score with a hottie like Hunter? Well at least she won't have to worry about getting pregnant, Stoli can't hit the net and then he tries to hard and breaks his stick in the middle of the shaft....Maybe he just grinds her in the corner?
Gentlemen I stand corrected for that earlier sass about the tank having been sucked dry.
Now this is a hockey story we can sink our teeth into. Which is more than Rachel Hunter can say. Why she's old enough to have wooden chompers and charcoal eyeliner.
Jonathan - Here's an opportunity to dive into a statistical analysis that would tie an actuary's jock in knots.
At what point will Ms Hunter qualify for US social security and will it coincide with Stoll's retirement and elegibility for his NHLPA pension. Posit: could this be a ploy to qualify herself and her rockin' progeny for those Saskatchewan Health Care Benefits?
There may be a plot here. Now we're talkin' hockey. Go Oilers.
Hollywood takes yet another Oiler from us via wedlock.
Congrats and good luck Mr & Mrs Stollie!
I dont think that Souray
gets enough love.
August 14 2008, 09:00AM
I was originally going to post an article about this, but I lack the strength to smash my fingers into the keys about this sad turn of events.
Stoll - you don't marry Rachel Hunter unless the year is 1986 you are Rod Stewart. She has seen more weiner than Oscar Meyer, and you are better than this.
Spyn Cycle - you are completely out to lunch. This isn't cool at all, nor should Stoll be commended. If he signs a long term deal in LA, I will bet $100 that the marriage is shorter than the contract.
After witnessing her performance in Celebrity Circus, we can all look forward to her next project - starring in Cocoon 5, and that is just gross.
August 14 2008, 09:18AM
Maybe I AM completely out to lunch. But Wanye, my genitals are so shriveled from sitting in from of this infernal machine posting your semi-coherent ramblings that I'll take what I can get: and what I can get is news about a young hockey player marrying the cougar of all cougars.
In conclusion, suck it. Go Stoll!
She looks a peace, he looks like he has a sand issue. Honey, where's the Polysporin?
Wanye: "Stoll - you don't marry Rachel Hunter unless the year is 1986 you are Rod Stewart. She has seen more weiner than Oscar Meyer, and you are better than this."
That's just wrong, man. Come on Wanye, you're better than this! Well, then again, you do live in a van down by the river.
August 14 2008, 12:10PM
Robin -
Friends don't let friends marry Rachel Hunter. Remember when you and her were serious in the late 90s? I stepped in then too as I recall.
If you think Hunter's a cougar, here's Souray's wife's music vid... keep in mind she's had two little Sourays prior to this...
..sorry Sheldon, and thank you.
How about Anderson's contributions to Edmonton and the Oilers teams? Isn't that a worthy discussion guys? Enough of these Hollywood moments.
August 14 2008, 01:26PM
sorry to say but...rachel hunter is by no means beautiful anymore. she's way passed her prime. back in the day she was hot. i feel bad for stolly though getting Rod's leftovers. eeewww!!!

Wednesday morning, I had the opportunity to ride in farmer Chris Gould's combine as he harvested corn from his field in Maple Park.
As a photojournalist, I''ve been advised that if someone asks you to ride something, climb something, try something, you always say 'yes.' In real life, as in photojournalism, it also never hurts to ask.
So I did just that and Chris was more than accommodating as I climbed into the combine for a short ride around the field.

Strength in Numbers: How Does Data-Driven Decisionmaking Affect Firm Performance?

We examine whether firms that emphasize decision making based on data and business analytics ("data driven decision making" or DDD) show higher performance. Using detailed survey data on the business practices and information technology investments of 179 large publicly traded firms, we find that firms that adopt DDD have output and productivity that is 5-6% higher than what would be expected given their other investments and information technology usage. Furthermore, the relationship between DDD and performance also appears in other performance measures such as asset utilization, return on equity and market value. Using instrumental variables methods, we find evidence that the effect of DDD on the productivity do not appear to be due to reverse causality. Our results provide some of the first large scale data on the direct connection between data-driven decision making and firm performance.

Providing quality health care for our patients is our greatest priority.
In order to do this, our hospital family is committed
to the education of our medical caregivers.
We provide accredited training and
educational programs for physicians, nurses,
allied health professionals and technicians.
Staten Island University Hospital and its enlarging health care delivery system offer excellent clinical and academic opportunities to provide quality clinical care in a nurturing educational environment. The members of the Department of Surgery have succeed in producing Centers of Surgical Excellence and expertise in many areas including laparoendoscopic surgery, surgical oncology, trauma, burn and surgical critical care, bariatric surgery, minimally invasive cardiac and general thoracic surgery, and surgical research. The surgical training program was expanded to include a fully-accredited vascular fellowship program.
The completion of the Heart Tower in 2000 created a major on-campus center (center on campus) for the management of cardiac and vascular diseaseallowing for recent advances including minimally invasive procedures to be applied to our expanding patient base. The completion of the new Elizabeth A. Connelly Emergency and Trauma Center with the expansion of the number of emergency beds and trauma facilities makes this yet another addition to the level of patient care within state of the art facilities.
The construction of the Regina McGinn Educational and Conference Center is scheduled for completion in 2010 and will further project the Staten Island University Hospital to the forefront of venues for in-house training of residents and for holding local, regional, and national meetings in an environment conducive to learning. The Center will house a multipurpose simulation laboratory in addition to the usual conference rooms and class rooms.
Because of the changes in health care, there continues to be the need for competent, compassionate surgical care with ever increasing technical support. The population of Staten Island looks to the Staten Island University Hospital as the premier facility for the nearly one half million residents of the island. Evidence of this demand is the continued increase in surgical services provided at Staten Island University Hospital over the past few years. The increase in surgical cases has translated to over 18,000 cases done here annually. The Department of Surgery will continue its momentum in meeting the challenge to provide outstanding primary and tertiary surgical care in a cost efficient manner while maintaining advanced educational, academic and research programs.
The surgical department provides care in 24 operating room suites, including suites in the Heart Tower and the on-site Center for Ambulatory Surgery.
Staten Island University Hospital provides an extensive array of surgical care services:
Advanced technology is utilized in all areas including laparoscopic surgery, microsurgery, endovascular surgery, laser surgery, imaged guided surgery and other minimally invasive surgical procedures.

With a variety of TVs, gaming consoles, smartphones and tablets communicating with one another via DLNA/AirPlay technology, traffic on your home network is congesting. Belkin is looking to add more lanes to free this congestion up with their new 802.11 ac dual band router.
The company has launched a wireless router that jumps on the ac standard, enabling speeds almost "three times faster than [the] existing 802.11n technology." This technology endows Belkin's AC1200DB router with the ability to stream videos across multiple devices easily.

"The enhanced speed and expanded coverage of Belkin's AC router enables families to achieve the truly seamless online experiences they crave."
The AC1200DB provides gigabit speeds wirelessly over an extended range with greater reliability. It also features two USB ports along its spine which can be used to wirelessly access a printer or hard-disk drive.
Belkin's AC1200DB will be available mid-August for a recommended retail price of $279.95. Over the page is a break-down of its specs as per its press release.

"Love this boots. They are perfect with the heel being not too high and narrow."

Love these boots!
"I love these boots (got 'em in brown), and I wish I had been able to get them in black too before they ran out of my size. I am a consistent size 8, and that's what I purchased. If you are a borderline between sizes, go up a half size. I was concerned at first that I should have done that, but fortunately the 8 worked after all. I have skinny ankles and muscular calves, and it's hard for me to find boots that fit. These zipped up (pretty snugly) around my calf, but they are very comfortable due to the elastic gusset on the boot. The heel height is perfect for me - not too low, not too high. The first time I wore them it was for an all day shopping trip, and they didn't hurt my feet at all. That's a pretty big deal, since I always have trouble breaking in shoes (high maintenance feet, I guess!). I'm so happy to have found such beautiful boots, at a great price, that feel good. If you're lucky enough to be a size they still have in stock, stop reading reviews and buy these boots right now!"

Nice Boots but Too Narrow
"Really liked these boots. They have good cushion for the balls of your feet. Unfortunately, I have a wide foot and the regular width was too tight. The wide may have fit fine but were not available in my size. Will have to return them."

False description
"I was looking for a boot with a narrow shaft circumference for my skinny legs. This was advertised as having a 13 1/2" shaft circumference. When I tried them on there was a huge gap between the boots and my legs. So I took measuring tape and low and behold... the circumference measured at 15". Very disappointed!! I will be returning these and will have to continue looking."

i believe shunpu was introduced properly when yoruichi rescued ichigo, but i don't believe the guy learned to master shikai, bankai in flash and couldn't master shunpu before he came there. And how stupid does it sound that he just randomly learned shunpu while being in the middle of the fight and used it so profecciently with his bankai.
Ichigo learned/mastered Shunpo on his way to learning his Bankai. Kinda like how he learned to use Getsuga Tensho on his own without actually being taught how to do it. But it stands to reason that if Ichigo was going to fight on par with Byakuya, he would have had to learn Shunpo. The only logical place to have learned it was during his Bankai training. Yoruichi taught it to him or he picked it up on his own having witnessed it a few times. Either way is acceptable.
Not sure if it was the Bleach Databook as my knowledge of bleach is a little foggy.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
People still seem to shunpo great distances just fine though; Kyuraku did and Nanao complained because she couldn't keep up with his pace.

The four surviving puppies found abandoned in a trash can at Highland Heritage Park in May are now available for adoption through the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region. A fifth puppy did not survive being abandoned.
The two male and two female dogs found alive in the Highlands Ranch park are believed to be shih tzu-Lhasa apso mixes. They have spent the last month-plus in foster care at Douglas County Animal Control Officer Caitlyn Cahill's Bennett horse ranch.
Cahill, who wasn't working when the puppies were discovered May 21, brought them home a few days later after her mother offered to help nurse them to health.
The puppies, which were estimated to be between three and seven days old when they were found, are each beginning to show off their individual personalities, Cahill said.
There's Gus Gus, the go-getter of the group, who has been the first to do everything and consistently underfoot. There's Brutus, the cuddly runt of the litter. There's Lilo, the loner. And there's Bridgett, the playful one of the bunch, who likes to wrestle.
According to the humane society's website, the puppies will remain at Cahill's ranch until they are ready to go home with their new owners and will not be at the humane society for viewing.
Those who are interested in adopting are required to fill out an application at www.hsppr.org/whatsnew and mail or drop off the completed application to Douglas County Animal Services, 4556 Castleton Court in Castle Rock, or fax it to 303-484-4172. The deadline for applications to be received is 10 a.m. July 22.
All valid applications received by that time will then be entered into a random drawing and four winners will be selected and contacted. The adoption fee for each puppy is $500, which helps to cover surgeries, procedures and care for all animals that are cared for by the humane society.
There are other animals available for adoption through the humane society for a lesser fee and they can be viewed at www.hsppr.org.
All dogs adopted out from the humane society are spayed or neutered, have received their initial vaccinations, come with a voucher for a free veterinary exam at a participating veterinarian, 45 days of pet health insurance, a microchip and a one-year dog license, depending on local ordinances.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office is still asking for help in finding the person responsible for abandoning the puppies and Sgt. Erica Dalton said that the perpetrator would likely be charged with felony aggravated cruelty of animals.
"We have had a couple leads, but they have been dead ends," Dalton said. "This is definitely still an open investigation. One of the puppies died a needless death."
Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for any information leading to an arrest, and the reporting person can remain anonymous if they desire. If someone has information, they can contact Douglas County Animal Law Enforcement at 303-660-7529 or contact Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 (STOP).
Cahill said the department hopes to be able to use this "unfortunate incident to educate pet owners and prevent something like this from happening again."
"There are so many opportunities available for people who don't want to have a litter of puppies or don't want to keep the dogs for one reason or another," she said. "Neutering and spaying are always a great option, and you can always take unwanted animals to a shelter. We have a long list of resources we can provide if people don't know where to turn, too."

Milwaukee-area businesses have strong expectations of business growth in in the second quarter, according to the Business Outlook Survey conducted by the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC).
Seventy-six percent of businesses surveyed see sales increases in the second quarter, 63 percent see profit gains and over half expect job gains for the new quarter.
Local expectations toward quarterly growth levels have largely reached pre-recession levels.
Business optimism in the Milwaukee area has been gathering momentum for over two years and has reached healthy levels. The hope is that this optimism is finally translated into a robust and sustained economic recovery.
The positive survey results are in part a reflection of the improving national business environment. Unemployment rates have started to inch downward and GDP growth has firmed, giving businesses greater confidence in a lasting recovery.
Quarterly sales expectations are as high as they have been in six years. Seventy-six percent of those surveyed expect second-quarter sales gains (vs. 2011's second quarter), 5 percent see sales declines, and 19 percent expect no change. The current percentage predicting a quarterly sales increase is up from the 72 percent who forecast first-quarter sales gains (vs. 2011's first quarter) three months ago. Expectations last exceeded current levels in 2006's second quarter when 77 percent of those surveyed saw quarterly sales gains.
Manufacturers are particularly optimistic on future sales levels. Eighty-two percent of manufacturers surveyed see improved real sales levels in 2012's second quarter, vs. the 72 percent of non-manufacturers who see such gains.
Likewise, large employers (100 or more employees) are more likely to forecast second-quarter sales gains than small companies (83 percent of large employers see gains vs. 69 percent for small employers).
Regarding profits, 63 percent of all Milwaukee area businesses see higher profits in 2012's second quarter (vs. year-ago levels), matching the percentage who forecast first-quarter, 2012 profit gains. Currently 10 percent predict profit declines while 27 percent see no change.
Expectations expressed in each of the past two quarterly surveys equal the highest profit optimism levels posted since 2006's third quarter.
Small year-over-year employment declines have been posted in 2012's first two months. These losses come after gains were posted in 11 of 12 months in 2011, leading to a moderate aggregate job increase of 1 percent in 2011.
Despite 2012's early weakness, area businesses see rising job levels for the coming quarter. Over half of businesses surveyed (54 percent) expect employment gains over year-ago levels, while only 9 percent predict job declines. Second-quarter expectations rank higher than the 49 percent of businesses who forecast first-quarter gains.
Employment gains in 2012's early months have been led by the manufacturing sector. This trend is likely to continue with manufacturers significantly more likely than non-manufacturers to predict second-quarter job increases. Sixty-seven percent of manufacturers predict second quarter job gains (vs. year-ago levels), 20 percentage points higher than the 47 percent of non-manufacturers who see growth. An expectations gap is also evident by employment size. Small employers – with 59 percent seeing second-quarter 2012 gains – are more likely to predict employment growth than large employers – where 48 percent see gains.
A slowly improving labor market situation has future wage and salary increases on an even keel. On average, the change in per person employee wages and salaries is forecast to rise 2.3 percent over the next 12 months, marginally above the 2.2 percent annualized increase predicted three months ago.
Calendar year sales projections reached pre-recession levels. Currently, 79 percent of businesses surveyed see real sales gains for 2012 as a whole, only 2 percent see declines while 20 percent see no change. The percentage predicting annual sales gains was last higher in the third quarter of 2006 (when 80 percent saw gains), while the percentage currently forecasting declines is the smallest on record (since 1994's first quarter).
The Business Outlook Survey, conducted by the MMAC, contains responses from 129 Milwaukee area firms, both large and small, employing more than 49,800 people.
Local economic recovery picks up steam
Milwaukee-area businesses have strong expectations of business growth in in the second quarter, according to the Business Outlook Survey conducted by the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC).

For the best flavor, Brie should be very ripe. Select a round of Brie that is plump; the rind might have some pale edges. Use Brie within a few days, as it does not keep well.
This upscale egg dish is great for brunch, paired with your favorite fresh fruits.

Next, sew your green to the red fabric so you have your front and back pieces of your dress.
1) I added a ruffle of green ribbon between the red and green fabric. I did this by gathering the ribbon with a hand-stitch and pinning it in place. I then stitched the ribbon down the center onto the dress, and removed my hand stitching.
2) Last, I added the seeds. I used the same technique I used for my watermelon skirt below. I've copied and pasted those instructions here, so ignore the fact that I'm showing you a skirt here and not the Strawberry dress. :)

Rated 4 out of 5 by NY Gardener from not for smaller breasted women I've been having upper back pain and working on improving my posture, so I thought this would be great. I wear at 32C at a national lingerie chain, although the are the queens of bra size hyperbole. So I ordered the 32B in this bra, which is usually accurate. Unfortunately, the cups were too big and this bra cannot be adjusted in anyway. I have large breasted friends who get back aches and I think this would be perfect for women with this issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Picture Perfect from busty boulder holder I have been carrying around these 2 watermelons for years. My back hurts. I have been wearing sports bras and was not happy with my smashed look. The bra department in stores is a maze. Thank you Vermont Country Store for being my solution to back pain relief and an a true uplifted figure. I admit, the closures were difficult because I could not see them. My mom in Florida shared, "Make believe you can not see." Wah La. Despite my challenged hands, I can now complete the job easily without my male caregiver. The crisscross well constructed back is truly an engineering feat. I gently place both cantaloupes in the "Exquisite Form" 40 DD and they are secure until they are released. Wash, hang dry and wear. The washing makes the material softer but it truly maintains support. The first size did not work. I confused myself for being smaller. Ladies getting fitted with this bra is worth the process. Push up and on...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Loves The Keys from Most comfortable bra I have ever worn I have some back pain and a bad posture so I thought maybe this would help. I read all the reviews and decided I would just order one. I have never had such a comfortable bra. It helped my back pain. I am not sure if it has done much for my posture. The straps are great and do not dig into your shoulders like all the other bras I have had. I had no problems hooking the bra. I was worried as there were a few complaints in the reviews about hooking it. I am ordering a bunch more and trashing my old bras. My only regret is that it doesn't come in some other colors like maybe pink or blue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Globug from Hard to find comfort is here! Many years ago I discovered this bra and was so impressed that "someone" had finally found a way to make a bra that the shoulder straps stayed in place and did not cut into the shoulder, that I have not worn any other bra. They became hard to find a few years back and I was absolutely thrilled to find the at the Vermont Country Store! They have cotton cups which allow your skin to breathe and are all around more comfortable than any other bra while giving good support at the same time. I am now 70 years of age and have been wearing them since I was in my 20's. Thank you Vermont Country Store for deciding to continue to carry them.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Annoyed from Improper Closure I was extremely disappointed with the hook and eye closure. The eye was sewn in almost even with the piece on top so that it is almost impossible to hook it. It took me 10 minutes to hook it this morning. Also, I had originally ordered a 36B size (which is what all of my bras are) but it was too small. I ordered the 38B size, which fits but with the caveat above. All in all, I am now going to other manufacturers to test their products.

Wicks put a little Monkey Business into their careers
Party supply store and party venue caters to kids and moms
Staring vacantly out his office window one day in late 2010, Ken Wick experienced a moment of clarity.
"I was day-dreaming about the future, thinking how I don't want to be working in the corporate world for 20 more years, when it suddenly came to me that I should start my own business," said Wick, who now co-owns Monkey Business, a party supply store and kids party venue in Brookfield with his wife, Mary. "So, I put together a business plan, attended night school at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and in March of this year opened our store."
Located in the Sendik's Towne Centre in the 19000 block of West Capitol Drive, Monkey Business hosts children's theme parties and carries gifts, greeting cards and candy, in addition to a selection of party supplies and accessories.
The store's party room, extensive inventory and "fun factor" separates Monkey Business from its competitors, Wick said.
"We're bright, clean and have trendy products, like bacon Band-aids and mustache magnets, that you can't get elsewhere, as well as a party room, which other area party supply stores don't have," he said. "My experience as a consumer and working in the corporate world taught me that people need to be treated better. We want our store to be a fun place to visit. That's why everyone who enters our store is greeted warmly and every child receives a free balloon animal."
Open daily, Monkey Business' target market is females age 25 to 55, who have children and grandchildren, Wick said. Future plans include opening two more Monkey Businesses in the next four years in the greater Milwaukee area. In the meantime, Wick couldn't be happier with his transition from corporate life to the retail world.
"I'd much rather work 72 hours a week here than 40 hours a week in the corporate world," he said. "When a child smiles at me after I've made them a balloon animal, or a customer says that our store is cool and fun and that they'll be back, then I know our business is on the right track."

Comments: The Nike Zoom Vomero +8s are not your average nike running shoe. They are MUCH better. My pair held up incredibly well (unlike some other Nikes) and lasted me an incredibly long time. I am a high school athlete and I ran in these shoes ALL summer for a total of 800 miles. No shoe I have ever worn before has lasted 800 miles!! Not only did the cushion hold up for so long but the shoe itself didn't fall apart or anything. I am not a heavy person, only 130 pounds, but I ran just about everyday all summer which put these shoes through a lot. If you are going to get this pair I recommend the Volt/Blue/White color because even when it gets dirty it still looks clean when your running because it is so bright.

Ben Foden scored two tries to help Northampton to a 32-15 bonus-point win over Wasps at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday.
Ben Foden scored two tries to help Northampton to a 32-15 bonus-point win over Wasps at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday.
Northampton made it six wins in their last eight games in the Aviva Premiership to keep pressure on the top four in the standings.
Wasps meanwhile have now only won one of their last eleven, and stay firmly rooted to the bottom of the table.
It was the visitors who started the better here, creating a few chances in the early stages, but failed to take full advantage of their opportunities.
They did take the lead after ten minutes though, when fly-half Nick Robinson kicked a penalty.
Both sides had penalty chances soon after, but neither could hit the target.
Northampton had been rather slow out of the blocks, but approaching the end of the first quarter, they went over for the first try of the game as Ben Foden grounded after the hosts had men over.
Ryan Lamb added the conversion and the game was shaping up nicely.
Wasps didn't take long to hit back and Robinson added another penalty midway through the half.
It was Northampton who were looking the most threatening at this stage though, and on the half hour mark they had their second try. Centre James Downey pierced through the Wasps defence to dive over the try-line.
Lamb failed to add the extras, but the home side looked to be firmly on top.
The Saints extended their lead five minutes before the break when Lamb kicked a penalty, and when Foden dived over for his second, and Northampton's third try of the game, the signs were looking ominous for Wasps. Lamb converted to leave it 22-9 at half-time.
Wasps started the second half promisingly when Robinson scored his fourth penalty of the game early on.
Both sides then lost a man each to the bin with a quarter of the contest remaining, but that didn't stop Northampton increasing their lead further from a Lamb penalty.
Robinson reduced Wasps' arrears with a penalty with fifteen to play, but they just couldn't get back into the game, Northampton themselves pushing for a fourth try late on.
That try came late on as Martin Roberts secured the bonus point for the Saints.
