- Silence is golden, especially when it's time to sleep.
- Grab a snore-free nose clip from Stylelife Brands for $3.
- This nifty device is designed to make breathing easier while you or your partner sleeps, thus reducing snoring.
- It's simply to use, unobtrusive, easy to clean, made from safe soft silicone, and comes with a protective shell to make travelling even easier
Just as it is during golfer's swing, a tennis rally or when someone asks you if they look fat, silence is especially valuable during sleep. When silence is broken by a loved one's snoring, everybody loses. You lose a healthy, good night's sleep, and your snoring partner loses a little bit of your patience with every grumbling snore. Today's deal aims to make everybody win.
Grab a snore-free nose clip from Stylelife Brands for just $3, and hopefully enjoy a noise-free sleep for once.
Unlike other devices that try to muffle the sound of snoring, the snore-free nose clip gently opens up the nostrils to make breathing easier - and quieter. It's light enough to slip into your pocket when you're travelling and subtle enough to use on planes without any embarrassment, allowing you - and your partner - to wake up sprightly and energised wherever you might be. Simply place the protruding round tips towards your upper nostrils and insert it upwards. The device is easy to clean with mild soapy water, is made from safe soft silicone, and comes with a protective shell case to make travelling even easier.

UNIDO-Hewlett-Packard (HP) Global Partnership Programme
Entrepreneurship & IT Training for Youth in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East
"Young people can play a greater role in micro-enterprise development, which is one of the best ways to create jobs. Training offers a taste of professional life, making the transition from education to business much easier."
Gabriele Zedlmayer, Vice President of Corporate Marketing, HP Europe, Middle East and Africa.
In most developing countries, micro- and small scale enterprises account for a significant share of the private sector and are important drivers for job creation. However, they often operate below their potential since business owners lack the relevant entrepreneurship, management and IT skills to develop and become more efficient. Entrepreneurship training is thus increasingly being recognized as an important element in tackling unemployment and triggering economic growth. Moreover, it strengthens the social inclusion of marginalized people (the very poor, youth, women, minorities) as it enables them to engage actively in productive economic activities.
Since May 2008, UNIDO has been partnering with Hewlett Packard (HP), one of the world's largest technology companies, to implement a global programme for entrepreneurship and IT education. Together, UNIDO and HP equip aspiring and existing entrepreneurs in developing countries with hands-on business and IT skills to start, run and grow their enterprises. Building on the successful deployment of the "Graduate Entrepreneurship Training through IT" (GET-IT) programme in Africa and the Middle East, in 2010 the UNIDO-HP partnership reached a global coverage including Asia and Latin America. Today at the core of the partnership lies the global Learning Initiative for Entrepreneurs (LIFE) training programme which is available in several languages and covers selected topics in the areas of marketing, operations, communication and finance for different stages of entrepreneurship, from imagining to innovating.
The LIFE trainings are provided by carefully selected partner organizations who receive a HP technology package, access to the LIFE curriculum and to various online tools and a cash grant. Selection of partner organizations is based on a scoring system, which, inter alia, includes gender equality factor. Also, designated LIFE trainers are enabled to take part in a training-of-trainers course to become certified and thus to pass on their knowledge to the students. The UNIDO-HP partnership programme is implemented in collaboration with MEA-I (Micro-Enterprise Acceleration Institute) and EDC (Education Development Center).
Current results
Establishment of 122 LIFE centers in 15 countries (Algeria, Brazil, China, Colombia, Egypt, India, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda and United Arab Emirates)
- Certification of over 310 LIFE trainers
- Training of approximately 50,000 students face-to-face
- Creation of over 20,000 jobs
Following the completion of the LIFE training many of the beneficiaries –of which a large percentage are women and youth - have established a business and thus started to generate their own income, contributing to job creation and economic growth in their countries.
The global LIFE center network will be further expanded in 2012. Linkages with other UNIDO entrepreneurship initiatives, such as the Entrepreneurship Curriculum Programme (ECP) and the Enterprise Development and Investment Promotion Programme (EDIP) will be created to maximize the benefits for entrepreneurs. Furthermore, UNIDO will develop an environmental training module for the LIFE curriculum with the expertise of its Environmental Management Branch. For more information on this project click here

I will forever remember the '97 season. I could tell you what I did for almost every game that year. My dad took us to the State game so I got to see The Interception. We were adding an addition to our house and we had to dig a trench. We had it planned for Sunday after Penn State. It was such a nice day on Saturday that we listened to the second half of the game on the radio, and working with a shovel was never easier. The win over Ohio, then Woodson won the Heisman shortly after the basketball team beat Duke. New Year's Day was awesome. My birthday was one month later so I got totally loaded up on with Michigan National Champs gear. Even got a beach towel that I was able to take with us that summer on a family trip to San Diego. What a season. |

I have been to 3 different Hash Bash's but '06 was a good time for us. On our way into town, we watched a guy wearing a clown suit walking down the street. He walked right up to a fraternity and right in the front door. We were both staring in bewilderment, not realizing the car in front of us had stopped. We rear-ended their Beamer and when we stopped, two very beautiful young ladies stepped out of the vehicle, looked at minimal damage, shrugged their shoulders and left. Needless to say we were both relieved. We got to the parking garage and his car dumped nearly all of his coolant. I think the car was more freaked out than we were. We proceeded to smoke way too much (actually probably just the right amount) and stopped at Hardee's on the way home. I was 19 and still living with my parents and when I got home my dad asked where I had been all day, I proudly proclaimed, "Hash Bash" and went to bed at 8:00. |

Ask an average non-Michigan or MSU fan about that game and they may not remember. For me, Braylonfest and the ensuing Sparty Schaedenfreude win out in this battle. |

With $435,000 Asking Price, Unique Home Has the 'Wright' Look
Designed by architect often compared to Frank Lloyd Wright, this Racine County home in wooded surrounding overlooks a ravine and the Root River.
From elegant and stately mansions to modern, environmentally friendly abodes, southeastern Wisconsin is chock-full of one-of-a-kind homes for sale. Each week, Patch highlights one "Wow House" that caught our attention.
This week, it's a home at 1505 Valley View Drive in Mount Pleasant known as "Trilogy" that was designed by architect John Randal McDonald, whose work is often compared to that of Frank Lloyd Wright. Also known as the John E. and Catherine Erskine House, the home has been featured on tours of homes designed by Wright and architects like him.
According the website Wright in Wisconsin, Trilogy "is designed on an equilateral triangular grid, with triangularity as a repeated design motif throughout the entire home."
The home features stone walls, Philippine mahagony paneling and trim, and a stone fireplace surrounded by a pool and garden. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the home overlooks a ravine and the Root River, providing privacy, tranquility and spectacular views for its occupants, Wright in Wisconsin says.
A triangular roof sunwell permits natural light into the very center of the house into a small pond, raised fireplace and stairway to the lower level.
Built in 1955, the home is being offered by BuyHomes.com for $435,000. It has four bedrooms, four full bathrooms and four half-baths. To schedule a showing, contact Corey Scholtka at 414-940-5555.
If you're a real estate agent and would like to have one of your homes included in our free "Wow House" feature, send an email to email@example.com.

HVAC and stand pipes needed to be hidden on the roof
Bob McBride
7:18 am on Monday, January 14, 2013
HVAC is always a problem with these homes. That's not the most graceful of solutions, but it might have been the only option given the nature of the lot. The regular heating on these tends to be of the radiant floor variety.
McDonald's homes probably come closest to emulating the feel of Wright's Usonian style homes. A number of them were built for people who originally contacted Wright, but who balked at Wright's pricing. I've been in about 5 or 6 of his homes and met McDonald during one of the Wright and Like tours, held in Racine in 98. Got to visit with him again at another Wright and Like tour of homes in the northern Milwaukee suburbs. He was quite a character. Real gregarious, liked his cocktails and enjoyed the attention of the ladies. A friend of mine owned a very small house of his for a short time, not far from the Cousin's center on south Lake Drive.
There was a guy working to put together a catalogue of his works, drawing a lot of his material from the collection of a Catholic priest who lived in a McDonald house in Milwaukee. I think the priest's name was Fr. Benno. I don't know what ever came of the project. We toured another McDonald home just a couple years back owned by an offspring of the Clark Oil company who was, himself, an architect and pretty familiar with McDonald and he said he wasn't aware of anything ever being completed in that regard.

This home likely has less than the usual roof problems that can be found in many, if not all, 'Wright like' homes. One can thank its namesake theme 'trilogy' that allowed for the pitched roof.
12:04 pm on Monday, January 14, 2013
I have toured this home. It has many of the signature elements of a McDonald design. With the good comes the bad. The HVAC only serves the top main floor; there is no AC on the lower levels including the master bedroom. The home site is precarious due to the home's positioning on a hillside. Reinforcements to the "cat walk" which borders the outside foundation were necessary to keep them from sliding down the hill. This house will need a "hands on" caretaker to maintain its integrity.
@Bob McBride-Fr.Beno is trying to sell his JRM home in Beaver Dam, WI. I do not know if the catalog was ever completed.

The Surry County Board of Commissioners showed great wisdom and a willingness to invest in the county's future earlier this week when board members voted to approve a $37,000 financial incentive package for Elkin.
The money will be part of an effort by a private developer to convert the former Liberty Theater building on Main Street into a multi-purpose unit that will include a banquet hall, retail and office space, as well as a restaurant. The hope is that it can attract attention as a reception hall for weddings and other social functions, conventions and other gatherings. In addition, a restaurant, along with retail and office space, would presumably attract full-time business residents.
While it's not exactly clear how many jobs might ultimately be created, some will likely come into existence. Perhaps even more important is the potential ripple effect. Once a business enterprise is up and running, and attracting more traffic into the downtown area, often additional development follows, which in turn brings more traffic into the area.
Soon, hopefully this investment will pay off many times over for Surry and Elkin. Such expenditures are never sure things, but this represented an opportunity for the county to invest in its people and businesses, and the board did the right thing.

Turnaround time for a large shoot
November 13, 2007, 09:23:56 PM »
Can I ask you guys a simple question? How long does it take you to turn around a high volume shoot? I'm talking about 5000-8000 images from a day of shooting, and with a large percentage of those similar enough to batch adjust in camera raw. What do your clients expect, what do you do when you have a rush job, and at what point do you tell them they're just going to have to wait?
Lately I'm feeling bogged down by my workflow. I know the workflow is effective, and has certainly taken pressure off me to remember all the steps...but I feel like the turnaround time is suffering a bit. I convert to DNG on the front end with IIP. This generally isn't a big time suck...I usually manage to get it started the night after returning from a shoot, and it runs into the early morning when no one was going to touch the images anyway. After that, though, I feel like I have three major delay steps:
1) Building bridge caches - Man, this takes forever and isn't even predictable. Bridge 2.1.100 sometimes appears to just stop building the cache, and won't continue without intervention. Granted, these folders (one for each of the day's shots) are large: 400-800 images. It's obviously important to look at a whole shot together when rating, so I can't think of a good way to subdivide for better performance. We had to switch to Photo Mechanic to allow the photographer to rate at a reasonable speed...she's not one to be patient with a slow app, and tends to bang on keys. I still have to build the cache before raw adjusting.
2) Updating full size DNG previews - I don't see a lot of people talking about this, but this can take a long time when adjusting with ACR in batches of 20-40. Really breaks up the flow...it's slow enough to make you want to do something else, but fast enough that you need to keep coming back to see if it's done.
3) Importing into iView/XM - I love the benefit of churning out proofs from the embedded full size preview...super fast. Still, to get to that point, I first have to import the whole shoot into iView. This takes about 1.5 seconds per image, which adds up to another long wait.
All of this is fairly easy to accomplish over several days. When the client calls and tells you the deadline has been bumped up and they need to see the shoot immediately, though, it's tough to rush the process. In one case, I sucked the rated, but unadjusted full size previews out of the DNGs using Breeze Browser before even catalogging. This works, but means the client gets unadjusted proofs in which case you probably would have been better shooting jpg.

My aproach to speed this up would be as follows:
• Don't convert to DNG on the front end. This will speed the ingestion process, and make the ACR work much faster.
• Have IIP divide the images into subfolders of no more than 300 images per folder. You can look at these all at once after an initial pass at ratings by using the filter panel. This will speed up Bridge.
• As you convert to DNG after adjustment in ACR, you can set iView to auto-inport the files. THis makes it a single batch process.
• Try RapidFixer for quick adjustments of a lot of images.
• If you only need to make batch adjustments of the images in Bridge/ACR (and not lots of individual adjustments), then you might consider doing your close examination in iView, since it gives a pretty speedy 1 to 1 view once the DNGs have been imported.

Sorry to take so long to get back to this...been too busy lately. I'll have to do some real world timings, and see which works better/is less frustrating. I had originally decided to convert to DNG on the front end because it seems like not taking advantage of that first night after the shoot where the images are just sitting untouched seems like a shame. If I can leave our server chunking away converting to DNG all night it seems like a good use of time.
Also, given that our camera raw defaults often make it possible to batch out proofs with no further adjustments I think converting to DNG first may still be saving us a little time in the end. I would love to place IIP -> DNG -> iView in one big automatic step on the front end that all happens the first night after the shoot. I could then have the photographer do the rating in iView. Problem is, she hates having to hold down ALT to apply star ratings. We currently have her working in PhotoMechanic. If she rates after the images have already been cataloged, I have to sync the annotations into the catalog...which is surprisingly time consuming. Seemed almost as time consuming per image as importing.
With bridge performance, have you found that viewing multiple subfolders with a total number of images >300 is faster than viewing a single folder containing the same images? If so, this is great: I hadn't thought to try that.
I've thought about RapidFixer, and may give it a shot...does it rebuild the full size previews? If so, does it allow you to continue working on more images while it's rebuilding others?
Re: Batch adjustments via iView: This is a great way to work, as long as I can remember to rebuild the items after adjusting. I've had some problems with strange out of memory errors. I usually work in batches of 20-30 images and choose 'Open in Photoshop CS3' from the right click menu.
When I start working for the day, clicking 'done' in ACR after each batch and waiting for the full size previews to rebuild works great. After working for a half day or so, though, I'll suddenly get a 'There is not enough memory to complete this operation' error after clicking 'done,' and ACR just quits. This causes me to lose my raw tweaks for that batch. I had thought there was some memory leak in the way iView was passing files to Photoshop/ACR. I get the error on all subsequent batches until I restart the system. Is this out of memory issue unique to my setup?
Thanks again for the advice,

Not sure if this will help. Give it a try and report back.

When I use RapidFixer on DNG, I switch off rebuild preview in ACR preferences. Otherwise it rebuilds on each click. Very slow.

Hmmm, I would not expect a memory leak in the passing. This might be an ACR cache issue.
Do you use task manager (PC) or Activity monitor (Mac) to check on resource allocation? I'm finding a strange memory problem on my MacPro. The RAM usage for both Photoshop and Bridge will spike to 16 million terabytes, which is more memory than I though I had in the machine.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I just figured that's how Peter stays so far ahead in the DAM business:

Gen. Mark Welsh III takes over as the Air Force's reputation with Congress is at a low point, a situation he vows to improve. Here, Welsh testifies before Congress last month. (Thomas Brown / Staff)
- Filed Under
A Texas lawmaker has removed his hold on Gen. Mark A. Welsh III's nomination as Air Force Chief of Staff, clearing the way for the full Senate to vote on the nomination.
The announcement came after Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican, met with Welsh on Thursday morning.
Cornyn had vowed to block Welsh's nomination until he was satisfied the Air Force had adequately addressed the sex assault scandal at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, which currently involves 15 military training instructors and 38 alleged victims.
"After today it's clear Gen. Welsh shares my grave concerns over the situation at Lackland. Gen. Welsh demonstrated a genuine resolve to improving Air Force-wide policies to prevent a recurrence of the grossly unacceptable conduct that took place at Lackland," Cornyn said in a statement on Thursday. "Gen. Welsh demonstrated a genuine resolve to improving Air Force-wide policies to prevent a recurrence of the grossly unacceptable conduct that took place at Lackland."
According to Cornyn's statement, he asked Welsh to direct a review of three things related to the sex assault scandal:
Current Air Force policy and training on sexual assault prevention.
Fraternization and inappropriate relationships, including social networking among airmen.
The organizational structure of Basic Military Training units at Lackland — focusing on the ratio of officers to trainees.
Cornyn's hold was the latest test of the Air Force's relationship with Congress, whose members have been angered over proposed cuts to Guard and Reserve units. Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, had blocked all senior Air Force nominations in the spring until the Air Force agreed to postpone the transfer of a fighter squadron within his state.
At his confirmation hearing, Welsh vowed to restore trust with Congress.
"I think what matters the most today is how we move forward from here because we are in a place that we cannot stay," Welsh said. "However we move forward, it has to be together."
Congress is slated to go on recess at the end of the week and will not return until September 10. If the Senate does not vote on Welsh's nomination before then, Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Larry Spencer would become acting chief of staff when Gen. Norton Schwartz retires on Aug. 10.

The New BMW 3 Series Touring.
Arrives September 2012, available to pre-order today. To enquire, or to book a test drive, please click "make an enquiry" to the right.
Larger, and more spacious inside than ever before, this truly versatile vehicle possesses a wide range of practical features in addition to the class-leading driving dynamics expected of any BMW.
The new 3 Series Touring boasts a load capacity that is the largest in its class, complete with innovative storage solutions, wrapped in a dynamically styled, strong but lightweight body that follows the same winning formula of previous BMW 3 Series Tourings over the years. The new rear luggage area is a significant 35 litres greater in capacity than the previous generation model, at 495 litres.
Three advanced, powerful, yet frugal engine choices are available at launch. Further engine variants will join the range in due course.
Model | Power Hp | Torque Nm | 0 – 62mph Seconds | Top Speed Mph | Combined Mpg | CO2 Emissions g/km | Price OTR |
BMW 328i Touring | 245 | 350 | 6.0 | 155* | 41.5 | 159 | £30,400 |
BMW 320d Touring | 184 | 380 | 7.7 | 143 | 60.1 (61.4) | 124 (122) | £29,380 |
BMW 330d Touring | 258 | 560 | 5.6 | 155* | 55.4 | 135 | £34,700 |
*Electronically-limited. **Automatic transmission only.
BMW's Efficient Dynamics initiative means the new 3 Series Touring comes as standard with the Auto Start-Stop function, Brake Energy Regeneration and the ECO PRO function. Advanced ancillary units, such as the on-demand coolant pump and the electronically controlled oil pump, further enhance intelligent energy management.
An expressive front end, accentuated by the 37mm wider track over the previous generation model, creates the perfect foundation for the frontal styling. Twin headlamps, with LED accent lights, combine with the gently forward sloping BMW kidney grille to generate a purposeful face, further highlighted by the additional outer air intakes below the headlamps and the sweeping lines of the bonnet that converge on the grille.
From the side, the new 3 Series Touring is defined by the sweeping silhouette, with its smoothly sloping roofline and glasshouse that extends to the rear of the vehicle. The new car is 97mm longer overall and 50mm longer in the wheelbase than before and that, together with the steeply raked D-pillars, angle of the rear window and the traditional 'Hofmeister kink', adds a real sense of forward motion to the profile.
At the rear, the spoiler 'peak' that accentuates the long roofline, together with the horizontal lines and L-shaped lights set far out to the edges, combine with the 48mm wider track to plant the design on the road.
As standard equipment the new 3 Series Touring receives an electrically powered boot, controlled either via the key fob, a switch on the A-pillar or a button on the boot itself. In addition, customers can enjoy further convenience with the Smart Opener feature offered as part of the Comfort Access option. When specified, the boot can be opened with the motion of a strategically placed foot beneath the rear bumper.
The new BMW 3 Series Touring has a split rear boot opening with the upper glass area able to open independently of the overall unit. This is unlocked electrically via a button located on the rear wiper arm, and then opened manually. It is particularly convenient when loading in small items, perhaps where space behind the vehicle is limited.
The new BMW 3 Series Touring boasts 17mm extra knee room and 9mm more headroom than its predecessor, ingress and egress to the rear seats is easier than ever before.
Equipment and model lines: More choice, more options.
The new BMW 3 Series Touring benefits from a particularly generous amount of standard equipment throughout the range.
The entry-level ES model features 17-inch alloy wheels and chrome exhaust pipe trim, plus the automatic boot opening. Inside, there is automatic air conditioning, the BMW Professional radio with 6.5-inch colour screen and iDrive control, keyless start, cruise control, Driver Performance Control featuring ECO PRO mode, a USB audio interface and the 40:20:40 split rear seats. SE models add PDC front and rear, an automatic dimming mirror, two-zone air conditioning and automatic lights and wipers.
From there, the 3 Series Touring customer has a broad range of model line options featuring the new Sport, Modern and Luxury, and topped by the M Sport variants.
Sport adds further dynamism to the exterior design with black kidney grille slats, in a chrome-coloured surround, and gloss black inserts in the front apron. Alloy wheels are 17-inch or 18-inch items in double-spoke design (18-inch items are bi-colour), while optional high-gloss black for the exterior mirrors and matching paintwork for the B-pillars takes the theme a stage further. Inside, red is used for the trim rings, scales in the circular dials and stitching on the sports steering wheel, while a base trim strip in high-gloss black with coral red accents underlines the sporting ambience of the cockpit. The standard sports seats can be specified in a choice of three different types of upholstery and four colours, while the ignition key features a black finish with red detailing.
Luxury possesses a more elegant, discreet appeal, with 11 chrome kidney grille slats and two slightly offset chrome trim strips in the front apron air intakes, and a high-gloss chrome trim strip running horizontally above the air scoop. In contrast to the Sport, the window frames and weather strip are trimmed in chrome; at the rear, a high-gloss chrome trim runs above the rear apron and there's a chrome tailpipe embellisher. Unique 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels in multi-spoke design add to the visual impression. Inside, chrome elements – such as the surround for the radio and air conditioning units, and part of the ignition key – combine with high-gloss wood strips, seats with distinctive stitching and a choice of two upholstery materials in four classically elegant colours, to create an exclusive ambience.
Modern features satin-finish aluminium for the kidney grille and the double trim strips for the air intakes, complemented by 17-inch or 18-inch turbine-style alloy wheels. The light-coloured dashboard, with a steering wheel in dark oyster, works with leather upholstery or cloth-leather combinations in oyster or black. There're a choice of three trim surfaces with accent strips in pearl-effect chrome, and a unique three-dimensional structure for the surface of the wood. The oyster-coloured ignition key features matt silver detailing.
M Sport
The M Sport option features a new aerodynamic package including numerous body components and the BMW Individual High-gloss Shadowline trim. The optional exterior paint shade of Estoril Blue metallic sets the model further apart, as do the 18-inch or 19-inch M alloy wheels. Inside, features such as the M door sill finishers, an M leather steering wheel and an M driver's footrest create the right sporting ambience, while the M Short-gearstick (in models with a manual transmission), M Sport suspension and the optional M Sport brakes with contrasting blue paint finish define the model from a technical perspective. Dakota leather covers the interior including the front sports seats, while trim elements in Aluminium Hexagon with accent strips in either Estoril Blue matt or high-gloss black add the finishing touch.
Body and safety
The new BMW 3 Series Touring offers its occupants outstanding active and passive safety.
Careful selection of raw materials, a high-strength structure and intelligent use of lightweight design principles, the body meets the most exacting safety standards and, in conjunction with highly efficient restraint systems, guarantees maximum occupant protection. Compared to its predecessor, body stiffness has been increased by more than 10 per cent, and yet the overall structure weighs 40kg less than before.
The BMW 3 Series Touring comes as standard with front and side airbags for the driver and front passenger, as well as head airbags for both rows of seats. All seats are fitted with three-point inertia-reel seat belts, while the driver and front passenger also have belt latch tensioners and belt force limiters, with ISOFIX child seat attachment points on the rear seats.
The new BMW 3 Series Touring features a raft of driver assistance and mobility services at the vanguard of this market segment. BMW groups them under the ConnectedDrive term due to the intelligent way they interact with each other, to the benefit of the customer.
Highlights include the latest full colour Heads Up display, the Lane Change and Lane Departure Warning system – which includes a collision warning system with a braking function monitored by radar and cameras – and the Active Protection Package that pre-empts a collision and readies the car's systems. Further options include the High Beam Assistant and Adaptive Headlights, the Surround view camera and Parking assistant and Active Cruise Control with a Stop and Go function.
ConnectedDrive enables the extensive use of external mobile phones and music players, with offerings from BMW Live and BMW Online. Thanks to new Bluetooth office functions, internet-based services along with calendar entries and text messages can be viewed in the Control Display of the iDrive operating system and read out via the Text to Speech function. In addition, passengers can access their personal music library.
The BMW Connected app allows the use of web radio and social networks like Facebook and Twitter in the car. Using the My BMW Remote app, meanwhile, lets you remotely unlock and lock the car as well as control the auxiliary heating. Finally, information and office services along with travel (RTTI traffic information is a further option) and leisure planners using the Google Maps and Panoramio services are also available.

What is a keloid?
Comment on this
Read 2 Comments
Keloids can be considered to be "scars that don't know when to stop." A keloid, sometimes referred to as a keloid scar, is a tough heaped-up scar that rises quite abruptly above the rest of the skin. It usually has a smooth top and a pink or purple color. Keloids are irregularly shaped and tend to enlarge progressively. Unlike scars, keloids do not subside over time. What is the difference between a keloid and a hypertrophic scar?After the skin is injured, the healing process usually leaves a flat scar. Sometimes the scar is hypertrophic, or thickened, but confined to the margin of the wound. Hypertrophic scars tend to be redder and may subside by themselves (a process which can take one year or more). Treatment, such as injections of cortisone (steroids), can speed this process. Keloids, by contrast, may start sometime after the injury and extend beyond the wound site. This tendency to migrate into surrounding areas that weren't injured originally distinguishes keloids from hypertrophic scars. Keloids typically appear following surgery or injury, but they can also appear spontaneously or as a result of some slight inflammation, such as an acne pimple on the chest (even one that wasn't scratched or otherwise irritated). Other minor injuries that can trigger keloids are burns and piercings. What are keloid symptoms and signs?

Keloids are raised and look shiny and dome-shaped, ranging in color from pink to red. Some keloids become quite large and unsightly. Aside from causing potential cosmetic problems, these exuberant scars tend to be itchy, tender, or even painful to the touch.

Movie talk with Affleck, Bigelow, Gervasi, Hooper, Lee and Russell
When your movie is making a killing at the multiplex and collecting all manner of rave reviews, it's safe to assume that your movie is working. But the six filmmakers who came together for the fourth annual Envelope Directors Round Table looked for a different metric when evaluating their accomplishments.

Celestial Moonstone Platinum Earrings
Always wanted to be in Vogue Magazine? Here is your chance. These earrings are featured in the September 2012 Issue of Vogue page 816!!!
The elements of this 20th century pair of earrings can be typified as a celestial galaxy of platinum. An oval moonstone of about 1.25 carats takes on the role of surmount to suspend an open ellipse set with nineteen (19) old European diamonds (of a total estimated diamond weight of .65 carats). Within the ovoid form a larger planet of an estimated 2 carat moonstone waits in anticipation for that starburst of movement which will persuade the diamond stars to flash their fire with continual life. White gold ear nuts complete the earrings.
Date: Circa mid to later 20th century.
Measurements: 1-1/16 inches (2.7 cm) in length by 5/8 of an inch (1.6 cm) at the widest. Top moonstone is 1/4 of an inch (0.7 cm) in width. Weight of 6.3 grams (4.0 dwt) for the pair including ear nuts.
Hallmarks: "585" on earring backs.
Condition: Excellent.
Note: Stones have not been removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. All diamond and gemstone weights have been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights.

What no Tim Thomas next year mean to the Boston Bruins
Posted by kirsch17 on 5th June 2012
A four all-star, 2 Vezina trophy winner, Conn Symthe winner, Silver medalist and most importantly 2011 Stanley Cup Champion. Those are all the qualities any player in the NHL wants. Those are all of the qualities Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas has. After playing all four year at The University of Vermont Thomas came into the NHL in 2002 after a few years playing in the AHL and IHL. It wasn't until 2005 that he cemented his stay in the big leagues and has never looked back…until he recently decided he was going to take an entire year off from playing the game he loves. News of him not returning shocked the hockey world, most importantly Bruins fans. After witnessing a winning season in 2011, they saw their beloved Bruins fall in game 7 to the Washington Capitals in the first round of the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs. But Bruins fans never thought their starting goalie would leave.
Thomas is 38 years old. He has a wife and kids and claims to be taking time away from the game to be with the people he loves. With his family living in Colorado, after Thomas moved them mid-season, living in Boston would be difficult for him to see his family. But another thing Tim Thomas has is one year remaining on his four-year contract. This coming year while Thomas is enjoying his time away from the ice with him family, the Bruins will be eating $5 million that is left on Thomas's contract, and that is with not knowing what the CBA will be in the coming months. Thomas has really put the Bruins in a bind. Tukka Rask would be a starter on any other team, and now he will get to prove himself in the 2012-2013 season. But knowing they will be out a significant amount of money, and now needing to find a decent backup goalie the Bruins management has their backs up against the wall. Thomas clearly is over playing in Boston after waiving his no trade clause in 2010 and with moving his family to Colorado he is sending a message loud and clearly to the entire league. He says he still wants to play because he has his sights on playing in the 2014 Winter Olympics but in reality, he will be 40 years old and haven taken an entire season away from the game where other US goalies like Jonathan Quick, Ryan Miller, Craig Anderson, among others will have had the time to improve. The 2012-2013 season will be one full of tests for the 2011 Stanley Cup Champs, tests no fans is ready to endure.

Had the most fabulous day with El during my total style make-over!! Can't believe how many outfits El put together out of my clothes bearing in mind I was ready to throw most of them out!! Shopping was brilliant and El really knew her stuff and I bought some gorgeous clothes that I feel lovely in! I actually enjoy getting dressed again in the mornings now rather than getting stressed out about what I'm going to wear! The report is great too and the photos a fab reminder of all the outfits as there were too many to remember! Thanks so much El it was brilliant :-) x EJS

I liked the film only because Monica Bellucci looked fecking horney in it
The film itself never gripped me as all the way through it I was thinking about taking Monica Bellucci home and fu................making her a nice meal.

I agree.
The half hour fight scene in the middle of Reloaded was great. Revolutions... the Zion fight just wasn't that interesting, and there wasn't that much more they could do with Neo vs. Smith. I barely remember anything else that happened, it's been a while.

I think it's rare when Antrax and I agree on tastes
, but Reloaded had incredible fight scenes and I thought the movie itself was as good as part 1 with continuing the storyline. Part 3 had nothing special fight scene-wise and they really dropped the ball with the plot as well.

Jet Li's "Fist Of Legend". The fight scenes in Revolutions were bad, all three of them.

Actually, I always took the ending to be like another version of the Matrix all over again. Like when that guy was explaining to Neo that he was the sixth version, that they now exist in the seventh version, but there is no Smith. People are now allowed to leave the Matrix at their leisure.
I think the plot line sucked, but the fighting scenes were decent.

Basically, Neo is Norton Anti-Virus. And our savior.
Thus, the message is- Norton Anti-Virus is our savior.

As far as the Oracle coming back, to put it simply, she was never gone. Smith was the equivalent of a computer virus and took everyone over by infecting them. Once Neo allowed direct access to the Smith virus through the main computer connection, it was able to delete/purge the Smith virus to restore the original programming...such as a Smith-free (virus-clean) Oracle.

Short version: because it's a dumb movie with a stupid plot.
Light came out because he's our saviour, blah blah, allusions to second coming of Jesus etc. The "thing" was an angel, and it probably took him to heaven, where he can finally get acting lessons. The oracle came back because it's not a mega-happy ending otherwise, or because she's an integral part of the machine world so she was reconstructed after being taken over.

Distance = Mag ( X AS Float , Y AS Float )This function returns Sqr((X ^ 2)+(Y ^ 2)). This is the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle with sides of length X and Y, or the distance of the point (X,Y) from the origin. This is the same function as Hyp. To convert rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates, use this function to get the distance and Ang to get the angle.

At least with this you can analyze the work and see how it ties into the storylines. Yeah, it's done in a completely different style, both artistically and scriptwise, but it's kind of like watching a show from two different perspectives. Often times they have their own lives, but sometimes the two worlds clash.
On that note, I REALLY don't like how Ian drew Tryka. Then again, maybe that's just because she's my favourite demon, and thus nobody can draw her right, other than Pete, in my mind...

The 82 version is one of my favorite films of all time .
The practical effects are amazing , seeing that done with digital does not fill me with hope .
And for fucks sake , they replaced Baddass Alcoholic Helicopter Pilot with Sexy Lady Scientist . Lame .
Well it is technically a prequel, so the did not replace anyone. I will agree that a remake of the 82 version is not needed, that one was brilliant.
I am not bothered by it since they are telling the story of the Norwegians.
from IMDB
Is this film a remake of the 1982 film "The Thing"?
No. This film will actually serve as a prequel to the 1982 movie The Thing (itself a remake of the 1951 classic The Thing from Another World) as the film will detail the events that took place in the Norwegian camp from that film. According to the screenwriter, painstaking care has been taken to assure that the prequel will take into account all the details about the Norwegians and their camp as seen in the original movie. The movie will end approximately where the original film begins. The reason the movie has the same title as the first film is because the filmmakers felt that adding a subtitle such as "The Thing: Begins", "The Thing: Origins" and so forth, did not sound as reverential as just simply naming it "The Thing". If you look up any of the proposed and existing "Thing" projects they all have "The Thing" as their title. Unfortunately, this confuses a lot of the public audience, but that's the title Universal wants. One could also see it tying into the idea of the Thing, which is indistinguishable from whatever it directly pertains to. An identical title, which confuses viewers, much as the creature itself does.
