Old dreams die hard. Take the paperless office. A 1975 article in Businessweek was one of the first to use the term to describe the big changes just around the corner as companies replaced typewriters with new technologies such as word processors. Experts predicted that new-fangled electronic documents would banish paper to the recycle bin of no return.
George Pake, head of Xerox's famed Palo Alto Research Center, told the Businessweek reporter at the time, "I don't know how much hard copy [printed paper] I'll want in this world."

10 ways telework will change in the next 10 years
Turns out it could be a lot. Thirty-six years later, nearly four out of five organizations still say going paperless is a priority, yet half expect to print more paper in the future than they do now, according to a recent survey by industry trade association CompTIA.
Does that mean the paperless office is an impossible dream? There is no question that many organizations have made a lot of progress in automating paper-laden business processes, boosting their productivity and doing the environment a big favor in the process.
But many of those gains have been cancelled out by office workers who refuse to cut back on all the paper copies and printouts they make. A recent study of federal printing habits by printer manufacturer Lexmark found that 35 percent of office printing jobs were unnecessary, and nine out of 10 feds admitted that they print more paper than they use.
So where have federal leaders been while users have been going all Gutenberg on them? Unfortunately, they have been classic enablers.
The IT staff doesn't say no to requests for new printers when someone else is picking up the tab, and upper managers are usually too focused on other things to notice how all those invoices for stand-alone printers, paper and toner are adding up.
"Print services [are] one of the last remaining unmanaged IT expenses," said Alan Weaver, vice president and chief marketing officer at PrinTree, a managed print services provider.
In short, no one has owned the problem. However, staying in denial is getting harder. A pair of executive orders — 13423 and 13514 — aim to increase the government's energy efficiency and reduce its environmental impact by holding agencies more accountable in achieving goals in those areas. Better print management is part of the program.
This fall, the General Services Administration will introduce a PrintWise campaign with a seven-step guide for lowering print costs. If the changes are adopted across the government, GSA estimates it would save $330 million. GSA also unveiled 11 blanket purchase agreements for printer products and managed print services that could save as much as $600 million in the next four years.
It's hard to say whether those eye-popping numbers are realistic, but if the experience of the Census Bureau is any indication, taking the printer problem seriously can yield savings.
The bureau's year-old initiative could easily serve as a print management playbook for others. Its measures include conducting an inventory of all printer assets and current printer use; removing unnecessary stand-alone printers and underused networked devices; strategically locating new energy-efficient network printers; and setting printer defaults to black-and-white, draft-quality, two-sided output.
From May to August, the bureau's headquarters saved an estimated $120,000 just by changing the printer default settings, said Patricia Musselman, chief of the bureau's LAN Technology Support Office.
Those stubborn dreams of a totally paperless office might be unrealistic, but that doesn't mean agencies can't do better when it comes to paper consumption and print expenditures. Musselman illustrated that kind of pragmatism in the way she and some colleagues pitched a proposal in the Census Bureau's employee suggestion program.
"We submitted something called the 'Less Paper Office' since the paperless office is unattainable in the near term," she said.

I work for a government construction and maintenance group, and we have engineers reviewing actual hard copy plans and specs. We don't have the means to recieve these documents electronically, and reviewing full size building drawings on a 17 inch computer monitor is not ideal. We also don't have the ability to recieve contractor bids on many of our larger projects. One of the projects we had last year, generated a stack of full size drawings 5 feet tall, with all the copies required for review by our office. The spec packages were at least twice that tall, but only 8 1/2 by 11 inches instead of the 2 by 3 foot drawings packages.
Part of the problem is government managers that want a hard copy of everything. One supervisor I can name has an extra large wraparound desk filled with documents 5 or more deep, none of which he has time to read. Legal also discourages going paperless. We are required to sign financial disclosure forms, training certificates and many other documents on hard copy for their files, because they don't believe that electronic signatures are binding enough. At least we don't have to sign in blood any more. Executives in my office, commonly go to meetings with a stack of papers, and come back with more.

It was wonderful to be part of the ISES Indiana Education Conference last week.
Every session I sat in on was thought-provoking (Ryan Hanson has got me thinking still about "designing" versus "decorating").
But one comment from Todd Lloyd has really stuck with me.
In his presentation on success, he explained that before he founded Chair Covers & Linens, he had a job selling financial products. On his desk, he kept a cup holding 100 pennies. Every day, he would dump the pennies out, putting one back in the cup each time he made a sales call. He didn't stop making calls until all the pennies were back in the cup.
He did well selling financial products.
So often, people complain that work is too hard, the competition has an unfair edge, the business climate is too tough. We forget that there is just no substitute for sticking with it until you win.

Like Coastal Georgians, New Jersey residents had all kinds of explanations why they'd never get hit by a hurricane.
At least they did before superstorm Sandy.
"The good people of New Jersey always knew storms were going to parallel them and they were going to be on the weak side of the storm," said Al Sandrik, warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Jacksonville. "How's that working out for them today? Not very well is it?"
Similar myths in Georgia include how the curvature of the coastline saves us and how the Gulf Stream current steers hurricanes away. Both phenomena exist but can't be relied on as absolute protection.
"That works really well a lot of the time until the day it doesn't work," Sandrik told an audience of emergency managers, first responders and others Tuesday at the Chatham County Hurricane conference. The Georgia coast was walloped by hurricanes five times in the 1800s, he noted.
These and other lessons learned from superstorm Sandy dominated the conference, which attracted more than 300 people to the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center.
Mayor Andy Skibitsky of Westfield, N.J., told how his town of 30,000 benefitted from a series of community-wide conference calls in which up to 4,600 residents at a time participated, most on cellphones. Through the calls, officials updated residents about when they could expect power to be restored, which roads were open and even when Halloween would be celebrated. Participants listened in for an average of 26 minutes each.
"It was a great way to reach out to people," Skibitsky said.
The town spread word of the calls through automated calls to land lines, Twitter messages, Facebook postings and hand-delivered flyers. About 80 percent of the town lost power for an extended time after the storm in late October.
The exchange of ideas like that one are exactly why Chatham hosts the annual hurricane conference, said Clayton Scott, director of the Chatham Emergency Management Agency.
Hurricane season begins June 1 and continues through November. The 2013 season will be one of higher than average activity, said Ron Morales of the National Weather Service in Charleston. The service will release its detailed hurricane season outlook, including the predicted number of storms and their intensity, in late May.

Chris writes: "Digital Reality have answered the question today on Facebook with a "unfortunately, no". The reason behind this is that the games have different feature sets. "
oh wells. Have been looking forward to this title even before it went xbox "exclusive". I'll go for the portable option. If they're still rocking stereo 3D on the big brother version, I'll bite too.
Things lacking Cross-Buy is not a surprise, developers can't afford to do that and I am sure many of them would much rather sell them on both systems instead of giving one away for free.
Even though yes in some situations it could actually make more interested in purchasing the game, people who wouldn't simply because it isn't Cross-Buy but is isn't big enough for many developers to take that chance.
Cross-Buy is excellent in the sense that it even exists at all but I for one am never expecting it to be a huge thing for a lot of games due to how bad the economy is in general. For me it's a bonus nothing else.
Developers just don't seem or from a common perspective would want to use Cross-Buy. As it seems more like a gamble right now than a guaranteed profit.
Sine Mora for what i have heard is a great game, a rebirth to those classic SHMUPS of yore. I really hope more of these games particulary from developers like CAVE to bring these games to the Vita.
I saw someone on Youtube play the classic Squaresoft game Einhander & on the Vita it looks absolutely beautiful for a game over 14 years old.
That's a poor excuse to be honest. That excuse might make sense if people were asking about Cross Play, but Cross Buy? How does slightly different content mean you can't support Cross Buy? Shit, you could do Cross Buy with a spin off Vita game if you wanted to, there's nothing that limits it.

"All TIE bombers, commence bombardment. Set the skies on fire if you have to, but find those ships.D'orsay Johnson Women's Pewter Prince Betsey Pump vpz7aqaw"
"Aye-aye, captain. I love my job."
- ―An Imperial captain and a TIE pilot
The TIE/sa bomber, also known as the TIE bomber, was a bombing variant of the TIE line used by the Flat Print Tiki Women's Fiona Grey Funky Sanuk 6Wqxfwzgtc, and was their main source of anti-emplacement air-support.
The TIE/sa bomber was specifically designed by Sienar Fleet Systems for use in the military of the Flat Print Tiki Women's Fiona Grey Funky Sanuk 6Wqxfwzgtc. A model of light bomber, it was part of the TIE line of starfighters,Fashion Mesh Natural Women's Mini Sneaker Chillax Eyelet Keds vqxg16OXwn distinguished by their Slip ons Sty Flat Fangsto 1 Slipper Silver Loafers Leather Women's Shoes 0Zxwx8Yq and solar collector panels.Comfort Casual Flats Women Black Shoes Wedge Slip Yzhyxs 11 Sneakers Platform On xf1zpwxYHq The bomber measured 7.9 meters long, 10.6 meters wide, and 5.4 meters high.Fashion Mesh Natural Women's Mini Sneaker Chillax Eyelet Keds vqxg16OXwn In keeping with the Empire's preference for muted colors,[10] it was painted a bluish gray.Fashion Mesh Natural Women's Mini Sneaker Chillax Eyelet Keds vqxg16OXwn
Like the TIE Advanced x1 prototype, the TIE/sa bomber had inclined wings, which maximized its speed and maneuverability while carrying mass of heavy ordnance. Unlike the other models in the TIE line, the bomber had not one but two central pods: a starboard cockpit for the pilot and a portside ordnance bay for the munitions. The cockpit featured two forward-mounted laser cannons, the standard transparisteel viewport, and an ejector seat in case a pilot on a distant bombing run needed to abandon ship.Fashion Mesh Natural Women's Mini Sneaker Chillax Eyelet Keds vqxg16OXwn
The ordnance bay was divided into two sections. The forward ordnance bay carried either eight concussion missiles or four proton torpedoes. The main ordnance bay carried either four proton torpedoes and eight concussion missiles, or eight proton bombs and sixty-four thermal detonators, or six orbital minesJewel Badgley Flat Ballet Women's Silver Cabella Mischka fATwqcAR, or even stormtroopers. Located underneath the ordnance pod was a bomb chute connected to the ship's targeting systems, a Elysian Ugg Fashion W Coconut Shell Women's Boot qArAxER targeting computer and a 398X bomb sight. The pod also featured a missile port that allowed for front-launching and torpedoes.Fashion Mesh Natural Women's Mini Sneaker Chillax Eyelet Keds vqxg16OXwn The ordnance bay could also be swapped for a passenger cabin with room for six.[5]
TIE bombers were a main source of anti-emplacement, anti-trap air support for the Empire.[11] They often served in the first line of attack, and Star Destroyer captains liked to send them out to carpet bomb and weaken large targets like capital ships in space or buildings on the ground.Fashion Mesh Natural Women's Mini Sneaker Chillax Eyelet Keds vqxg16OXwn
HistoryEditNeo Shoes Running Mid Peak Women's Lone 3 Blue Altra IqFYwI
A decade after the rise of the Empire, one was deployed by the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Ultimatum in order to attack the mobile refinery Forager used by the corrupt Count Denetrius Vidian.[12]
Three years before the Battle of Yavin, TIE/ sa bombers were being launched from a Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier above Ryloth to attack Cham Syndulla's rebel cell. When the Lothal rebel cell attacked, trying to capture the carrier, most of the TIE bombers were shot down by the rebels, who were manning gun stations on the carrier.[5]
At least one was present aboard the Death Star during the Battle of Yavin.[13] After the Battle of Hoth, they were sent to flush the Millennium Falcon out from the asteroid field it was hidden in.[6]
The bombers also played a role during Imperial reprisal raids after the Battle of Endor.[14]

How To Use a Laser Printer to Transpose Photos Onto Furniture
Here's a unique way to put a laser printer to use beyond printing out TPS reports, Peter. Reddit user jmsndrnkr and his brother put their carpentry skills to work, assembling handsome all-wood coffee tables, and then embellished the tabletops with photographs transposed using large format laser printer printouts!
So how does he get the image from the laser printed sheet onto the furniture pieces? According to jmsndrnkr's answers over at Reddit, transfers are made by applying medium acrylic gel or Mod Podge onto the sheets faced down onto the transfer surface, with sections of the large format print removed piece by piece in the final stages of the transfer process!
"...the thicker [the paper] is, the easier it is to remove. I get it done at Staples (which as a photographer who prints his own images, is very embarrassing to admit). You want it to actually be pretty heavy so that you can tear away large parts at a time. Staples can Laser print up to 40 inches wide and as long as the roll, so it is a good resource. The employees are not very careful, so there are some gouges and whatnot... adds character IMO."One doesn't have to aim for a large coffee table as a canvas. A spare side table or stool could get similar smaller scale treatment with a letter-sized home laser printer (or perhaps your office's machine if you've got the a-ok). Here's a video of someone showing how to use an iron and single sheet laser printer transfers:
Check out more photos and a glimpse behind the process over here, dust off the old laser printer, and get planning!

UPDATE: Suicide by cop? Dead man had lengthy criminal career
UPDATE:The man shot and killed after he opened fire on Beaumont Police Officers Thursday morning at his residence on Harriot Street has been identified as 37-year-old Lee Adam Dixon (DOB 10-18-1974) of Beaumont. Dixon, was no stranger to police, having been arrested more than 30 times with, at least, five convictions for evading detention, unlawfully carrying a weapon, theft, possession of a controlled substance and reckless conduct.
Dixon died after being shot multiple times in response to him pointing a small caliber revolver at police and shooting three time in their direction - one of the bullets struck a tree being used as cover by an officer.
A 37-year-old man who muttered, "I'm going to die today" and brandished a small caliber pistol while walking down the street in the South End of Beaumont, was shot and killed after he fired three rounds at Beaumont Police Officers, who were forced to returned fire to protect themselves and citizens nearby.
According to BPD Sgt. Rob Flores, the man was originally approached by officers after police received a call of a man dressed in all black, who had a weapon and was acting suspicious.
"We received the original call at 7:53 a.m. about a suspicious man in the 1500 block of Elgie(Street)," Flores said. "When officers arrived they found the subject and began talking to him. He had his hands in his pockets and at one point indicated he had a weapon. As the officers spoke with him and tried to contain the individual, he continued walking two blocks to the south and two blocks to the west. When he pulled his hands out of his pockets he was holding a small caliber revolver and began saying that 'I am going die today.' He then put the gun back in his pocket and continued walking."
Flores said officers on the scene had already called for the SWAT team and had crisis negotiators in place when they contained the man between a fence and a home in the 1700 block of Harriot Street.
"When SWAT officers arrived the man kneeled down and as he stood up he pulled the gun and fired several rounds, which resulted in those officers shooting back," Flores confirmed.
According to the official press release, the man had knelt on his knees and began walking back and forth in the yard on his knees and then pulled the gun back out of his pocket and fired at officers. An EMS unit was immediately called to the scene but the man was pronounced dead upon arrival at CHRISTUS St. Elizabeth Hospital. The man's name is being withheld until his family is notified. He was a resident of south Beaumont.
A reporter at the scene was able to determine that seven officers returned fire and between 12 to 14 rounds appear to have been fired by officers, based on evidence tags placed near bullet casings. Additionally, officers were observed removing what appeared to be the bullets fired by the suspect from a nearby home and a tree that, at least, one officer had used for cover. Officers were also observed conducting a digitized "drawing" of the scene using a laser device to indicate exactly where police and the suspect were at when the shots were fired.
The officers involved have been placed on paid administrative leave until an internal investigation and grand jury review has been completed, which is standard procedure in officer-involved shootings.
The Examiner will continue update this story as more information becomes available.

VIENNA >> Geoff Cameron's header off Michael Bradley's corner kick deflected off an arm of Marko Arnautovic and appeared to cross the goal line in the 17th minute before it was swatted away by goalkeeper Robert Almer.
Hungarian referee Istan Vad and his linesman failed to rule it a goal, and the United States ended a record-setting year with a 1-0 exhibition loss to Austria on Tuesday night.
"It's a friendly game, so I'm not wanting to make a big deal out of it. But I'm still asking why we are in 2013 and not have goal-line technology," U.S coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "It's just a joke."
Marc Janko scored Austria's goal in the 33rd minute after lax defensive marking.
"Disappointed in the result, but I think we played pretty well," goalkeeper Tim Howard said before adding: "The year 2013 has been one of our best years ever."
The U.S., which tied 0-0 at Scotland on Friday, qualified for its seventh straight World Cup and finished 2013 with team records for wins (16), winning percentage (.761), goal difference (plus 28) and scoring average (2.14). The Americans started the year with a 0-0 exhibition draw against Canada, then wasted a lead in the opener in the final round of qualifying and lost 2-1 at Honduras.
"It's been a fun ride, and it's been amazing to be a part of watching this team grow from the loss to Honduras to how we picked ourselves up," forward Jozy Altidore said. "It's been inspiring."
Geoff Cameron shifted from center back to the right — his position with Stoke — because Brad Evans had a groin issue and Michael Orozco wasn't feeling well.
Defender Anthony Brooks and forward Aron Johannsson — making their second U.S. starts — were inserted into the starting lineup with midfielder Brek Shea. Evans, midfielder Sacha Kljestan and forward Eddie Johnson came out.
Janko's 16th international goal developed when David Alaba played the ball wide to Gyorgy Garics, who got away from left back DaMarcus Beasley. Garics crossed and Martin Harnik touched the ball to Janko, who was open between central defenders Omar Gonzalez and Brooks. Janko kicked the ball over Howard with a right-footed shot from 6 yards, ending a 453-minute shutout streak in international and club play for the goalkeeper, who is Everton's starter.
Altidore came closest to tying the score, but his low shot in the 74th lacked pace and was saved easily by Almer.
"Over both wings we didn't develop enough clear creation of chances," Klinsmann said.
The U.S. is off until a January training camp for players from Major League Soccer and Scandinavian clubs on winter break. Time to impress Klinsmann and make the 23-man World Cup roster is dwindling.
"You learn a lot about the guys when you are in camp," he said. "We don't have that many opportunities anymore. We have obviously the March FIFA fixture date, and then we start in middle of May with the group that goes towards Brazil."
And on Dec. 6 comes the even that likely will have the most significant impact on U.S. results in Brazil: the draw.
"We look back with pride for sure," midfielder Michael Bradley said, "but now we all know the real stuff is still to come."

In case you missed it, popular beauty blogger, Juli aka Bun Bun from Singapore, experienced a facial at a spa that left even the strongest of stomachs churning with horror.
Our estheticians at ZENMED have always been anti-extractions due to the high risk of scarring, infection, and/or permanently damaging the skin. Every time an extraction occurs, the skin is broken on purpose. It must now heal and everybody's skin heals differently. In Bun Bun's case, it looks like she is suffering from a chemical reaction of some sort to the herbals used in the products at the spa.

In other news, a recent medical study discovered the secret to looking young forever: Sunscreen. The Australian government funded a specialized study of 900+ people to gauge the success of using sunscreen on a daily basis opposed to just when required/desired. The results were astonishing. The participants that used the sunscreen on a daily basis showed 24% less skin aging than people who used sunscreen as they normally would. The FDA in the US recently stressed the importance of broad-spectrum sunscreen (UVA and UVB protection) as both rays are known to accelerate phot-aging and cancer.

Press Conference: Faith-based, human rights and ex-military leaders speak out against John Brennan to head CIA
WASHINGTON - Press Conference: Faith-based, human rights and ex-military leaders speak out against John Brennan to head CIA
When: Monday, February 4, 12:00 pm
Where: National Council of Churches, 110 Maryland Avenue NE, Washington DC
Speakers include:
Marie Dennis, co-president of Pax Christi International
Matthew Southworth, legislative associate for Foreign Policy for Friends Committee on National Legislation, President of the Washington D.C chapter of Veterans Against the War and a member of the Board of the Directors for Veterans for Peace
Medea Benjamin, cofounder of Global Exchange and CODEPINK, author of Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control
Jesselyn Raddack, attorney, National Security & Human Rights Director, Government Accountability Project
With John Brennan's Senate confirmation hearing to head the CIA scheduled for Thursday, February 7, human rights advocates are speaking out against his nomination. At the press conference, Marie Dennis of Pax Christi will release a letter signed by 100 faith-based leaders urging the Senate to reject the nomination of John Brennan, who is the mastermind behind the administration's lethal drone program that is killing innocent civilians abroad and sowing anti-American sentiment. It urges the Senate to redirect the CIA to its role of intelligence gathering and implement strict regulations for the use of lethal drones. "To summarily execute people on what has become a battlefield without borders violates the moral sensibilities of people of faith who believe in the value of every human life and the right to a fair trial," says Dennis.
"Brennan--the drone program kingpin--has had the sole power to play prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner. As head of the CIA, will continue to turn the agency into an extralegal paramilitary operation," says attorney Jesselyn Raddack. "Brennan was also intimately involved in the U.S. torture program, which created an indelible stain on America. He would now head the very agency that implemented that program.
"With his out-of-control drone killings, John Brennan should be even more toxic now than he was in 2008, when he was 'unconfirmable' as CIA director because of his involvement in CIA torture and extraordinary rendition during the Bush years," says Drone Warfare author and CODEPINK cofounder Medea Benjamin. "Anyone who takes the rule of law seriously should reject Brennan's nomination."
CODEPINK also plans to be present at Brennan's February 7th hearing. "We plan to pack the hearing with people outraged by John Brennan and his support for lethal drones, torture and extraordinary rendition."
Additional quotes:
John Brennan could be called the Darth Vader of the drone strike program that President Obama has so readily employed. No doubt the Congress--many of whose members constitute a purblind group of Sith Lords--will confirm Brennan's nomination to be Director of the CIA. One has to wonder, however, if a majority of the American people would affirm that confirmation if they knew the full details of the drone strike program and critically considered those details in light of some fairly significant principles such as the rule of law, their own civil liberties, and just basic human decency. Lawrence Wilkerson, retired United States Army Colonel and former chief of staff to United States Secretary of State Colin Powell
Making John Brennan chief of the CIA, which is now executing people outside its borders and outside the bounds of law, is bad news, especially for people in Waziristan as he will kill more civilians. Brennan as CIA Director simply means there will be more CIA killings with no accountability or transparency. Shahzad Akbar, Director of the Pakistan Foundation for Fundamental Rights and Lawyers for Drone Victims
Yemenis are against terrorism and condemn Al-Qaeda, yet we are also against the violent and unethical use of predator drones in combatting them. Brennan's drone policy might have been killed a few key militants, but they have helped al-Qaeda expand from 200-300 fighters in 2009 when the drone campaign began, to more than 1,000 fighters today. That's why the appointment of John Brennan to head the CIA is not in the best interest of the people of my country, Yemen; nor it is in the best interest of the American people. Noon Arabia is co-founder of SupportYemen.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Kelyn Rowe had two goals and one assist to lead the rampant New England Revolution to a 5-1 win over the Rochester Rhinos (USL PRO) in a third-round Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup meeting on Tuesday night at rain-soaked Sahlen's Stadium.
The Revs will now host either the New York Red Bulls (MLS) or Reading United AC (PDL) in the fourth round of the competition on Wednesday, June 12 at Harvard University. New York and Reading meet in the third round on Wednesday, May 29.
Tuesday night's match was delayed for almost an hour early in the second half when lightning rolled through the area, but it couldn't halt the Revolution's offensive explosion. Rowe and Andy Dorman scored to give the Revs a 2-0 lead before the delay, while Chad Barrett, Jerry Bengtson and Rowe scored on the other side of the delay to round out the Revolution's scoring.
Rochester – an affiliate club of the Revolution – registered a consolation goal through Kendell McFayden in the 77th minute.
Both sides created a series of half chances in the early stages, but it wasn't until the 23rd minute that the Revolution took a 1-0 lead through Rowe. Barrett worked his way from left to right across the box before laying a pass back to Rowe, who curled a first-time effort into the far upper corner from 18 yards.
Rowe came inches from doubling New England's advantage two minutes later, but his shot struck the post at the end of a scramble in the box.
Rochester had a golden chance to pull level before the halftime break when the ball popped free to Tyler Rosenlund at the top of the box, but the former Toronto FC midfielder directed his 39th-minute shot narrowly wide.
It didn't take long for the Revs to add a second after the interval as Dorman extended New England's lead to 2-0 in the 53rd minute. The veteran midfielder took a feed from Rowe and finished calmly into the upper right corner from the center of the box.
But as Dorman scored, lightning almost simultaneously halted the match, which was delayed for 52 minutes.
The delay didn't halt the Revolution's attack, however, as Bengtson – who replaced Saer Sene at halftime – made it 3-0 just moments after the match was restarted. The Honduran striker intercepted a loose back-pass and slotted his shot underneath charging Rhinos goalkeeper Brandon Miller.
Rowe notched his second goal to make it 4-0 in the 64th minute with a strong individual effort. After receiving a pass from Tyler Polak – recalled from Rochester along with Gabe Latigue for the match – Rowe worked his way past a Rhinos defender down the left side before finishing to the far post with the outside of his right foot.
The Rhinos pulled one back in the 77th minute when McFayden's 25-yard curler kissed the inside of the post and settled into the upper corner, but Barrett restored the Revolution's four-goal lead in the 81st minute when he used a clever back-heel flick to finish a Darrius Barnes setup.
McFayden's night ended short of the final whistle as he was issued a straight red card in the 90th minute.
The Revs return to league play on Sunday, June 2, when they'll host the two-time defending MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy at Gillette Stadium. NBC Sports Network will televise the game nationally at 4:30 p.m.

Standard 90.1 open for public review
Proposed changes to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2010 would improve lighting and equipment efficiencies.
Seventeen addenda to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2010, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, are currently open for public review.
Among them are five proposed changes related to HVAC+R equipment efficiencies. These include addendum bp, which would add minimum efficiencies for evaporative condensers used in ammonia based refrigeration systems, and updates references to cooling tower standards published by the Cooling Technology Institute.
Specifically, the proposed requirements of addendum bp will help users to select energy efficient evaporative condensers as well as encourage manufacturers to develop more energy efficient designs in the future. It is also anticipated that future editions will incorporate requirements for an independent, third-party thermal performance certification program for evaporate condensers, which has proven successful for both open and closed circuit cooling towers.
Also among the proposed changes to the standard is addendum bh, which would modify the long-standing interior space-by-space lighting power density (LPD) tables for a variety of purposes, according to Eric Richman, chair of the lighting subcommittee. This includes an adjustment to some of the space type LPDs based on the light level design recommendations found in the new 10th edition Lighting Handbook published by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES).

There's nothing more stressful than a baby who cries incessantly. These groundbreaking new treatments just may restore some calm.
My son, he was a crier. He howled in the middle of the night. He wailed during the witching hour. In fact, he started screaming as soon as his eyes popped open. "How can he be pissed already?" I'd wonder. The baby was exhausted. My husband was exhausted. I was looking for a window to jump out of.
Did my son have colic -- a newborn condition loosely described as "excessive crying" that occurs at least three hours a day, three days a week, for three weeks? I didn't know. Colic isn't like an ear infection or pinkeye. You can't just go to the doctor, get a diagnosis, fill a prescription, and move on. Colic is more complicated. Indeed, Barry Lester, Ph.D., who runs the highly respected Colic Clinic at Brown University, in Providence, disputes the colic "rule of threes," preferring instead to call it a "behavior disorder" that interferes with the rest of a baby's life (not to mention his parents'). "We know it's developmentally normal for babies to experience an increase in crying over the first four to six weeks, but colic is about crying way too much and figuring out what might be causing it," says Lester. Adding to the confusion are dozens of products billed as colic remedies: swings (relied on them), vibration (tried it), gripe water (contemplated it), and the list goes on. Many work briefly, and then the baby goes right back to crying. Blessedly, most babies outgrow colic by 3 or 4 months of age, but you may not have to wait that long. Parenting investigates the latest breakthroughs.
Special Formulas
Name any formula and you'll find a baby whose colic has been alleviated because of it -- or at least it would seem. "About one fourth to one third of mothers change formulas within the baby's first six to eight weeks," says Carol Lynn Berseth, M.D., director of medical affairs at the formula manufacturer Mead Johnson Nutrition. "Many moms want to make a change, any change, to see if it will work." Pediatricians generally recommend starting out with a traditional cow's-milk formula, such as Enfamil and Similac, which contain a blend of whey and casein proteins. While the majority of infants do fine on these, colicky babies sometimes benefit from a different variety. Options include formulas that have only whey protein, such as Gerber Good Start Gentle Plus; soy protein, such as Enfamil ProSobee Lipil; or a low-lactose variety like Up & Up Lactose Sensitive. Usually there's no harm in trying a new formula -- just don't switch willy-nilly without talking to your pediatrician, Dr. Berseth notes.
Why they may work for you: A study published last year in the journal Clinical Pediatrics found that fussiness and crying were greatly quelled when the babies were switched to a soy-based or a low-lactose formula. Other studies show that 5 to 15 percent of babies may have a cow's-milk allergy, so for those who have related symptoms like mucus or streaks of blood in their stool, or a scaly rash, a trial of hypoallergenic formula such as Nutramigen or Alimentum is worth attempting, says Robert Baker, Jr., M.D., a pediatric gastroenterologist at Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo, in New York.
These beneficial bacteria are supposed to help, uh, keep things moving and the immune system functioning well. Gas and constipation are thought to contribute to colic. So it stands to reason that scientists have begun lacinginfant formulas and baby food with the stuff. And an Italian study seems to support the benefits: After a week of being given drops of Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis (a particular probiotic strain), colicky babies' crying time was reduced by 74 percent, compared to a 38 percent dip in the control group.
Why they may work for you: "Probiotics can decrease gas and increase bowel-movement patterns. Clearly, establishing healthy flora early in life and maintaining it is important to one's health," says Leo A. Heitlinger, M.D., a pediatric gastroenterologist in Bethlehem, PA. Ask your pediatrician about trying either probiotic infant drops (like BioGaia Probiotic drops) or a formula with probiotics, such as Nutramigen with Enflora or Gerber Good Start Protect Plus.
Diet Tweaks
Breastfeeding? Nursing moms are still eating for two, so those with colicky infants are often advised to eliminate potential offenders from their own diets, including dairy, soy, eggs, nuts, and shellfish. If your baby has a true allergy to one of these foods, she'll likely also have loose stools and vomiting. However, you don't need to be allergic to have a food or an herb disagree with you. For instance, fenugreek, an herb found in tea often used by nursing moms to up their milk supply, can upset the baby's system and cause pain and crying, says Rochester, NY, pediatrician Ruth Lawrence, M.D.
Why they may work for you: "If you didn't have foods like garlic, onions, peppers, cabbage, or broccoli while pregnant, and then began eating them again while breastfeeding, they may make the baby uncomfortable," says Dr. Lawrence. Eliminate the possible culprit from your diet for a week or so to see if it helps. "It won't hurt to limit caffeine, too," she adds, because it can make some babies jittery and fussy.
Chiropractic Care
My dad sees a chiropractor. Some of my runner friends do, too. But babies? And for crying? It's true. "Today about twenty percent of my pediatric patients come in because of colic or digestive issues," says Elise G. Hewitt, a board-certified pediatric chiropractor in Portland, OR. Baby chiro care is not as scary as it may sound. The adjustments involve short, quick impulses delivered to the spine with the hands, as well as using very light touch on the bones of the skull. It's quite comfortable for the child and can be done while he lies on a parent's lap or chest. "Babies often fall asleep during treatment," notes Hewitt.
Why it may work for you: Soon-to-be-published research found that parents were eight times as likely to report a significant reduction in crying when the baby was treated with chiropractic care three or four times over a ten-day period than if the baby wasn't, says lead researcher Joyce Miller, associate professor in clinical sciences at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic, in Bournemouth, England. The theory behind it : The practice helps alleviate tightness and joint issues that were caused by a cramped position in utero or during birth. To find a chiropractor experienced with infants, talk to your pediatrician or go to the website of the American Chiropractic Association Pediatrics Council: Acapedscouncil.org.
Reflux Meds
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) occurs when the contents of the belly -- and the burning acid that goes with it -- come back up into the esophagus. It may or may not meet the definition of colic, but it sure can cause the same symptoms (read: crying, crying, and more crying). "Essentially, it's colic if the inconsolable crying is causing a disruption in the family. If you think it's a dysfunction, it is," says Lester.
Why they may work for you: Almost all babies spit up to some extent, but those with true GER feel pain associated with it. Many pediatricians will prescribe a trial of an acid blocker or antacid, such as Zantac or Prilosec. These medications are generally safe for little ones but can cause side effects like constipation or vomiting. Before trying one of them, Dr. Baker suggests smaller, more frequent feeding; lots of burping; keeping the baby upright for at least 15 minutes following a feeding; and elevating the head of the crib.
Infant Massage
While chiropractic care treats specific joint issues and needs to be done by a professional, baby massage is something you can do at home and is more about learning to feel comfortable with your baby and understand her cues. "Over the past two years, there's been a dramatic increase in interest in infant massage to improve bonding and treat fussy or colicky infants," says Betsy L. O'Hara, occupational therapist and certified infant massage instructor in the neonatal intensive care unit at Cook Children's Medical Center, in Fort Worth, TX.
Why it may work for you: In one study, 28 percent of parents who practiced infant massage said they felt they understood their baby's needs better, which, in turn, seemed to help curb the crying. Another 2009 review of studies echoed these findings. "The baby can relax enough to focus on feeding, sleeping, and growing instead of crying," notes O'Hara. Find a local massage instructor at Lovingtouch.com.
I spent six weeks going to birthing classes and a grand total of zero minutes attending any "so-yeah-you-have-a-baby-now-what?" classes. And that's part of the colic problem, says Shawn Patrick, Ed.D., assistant professor in the professional counseling program at Texas State University in San Marcos. In a recent paper she coauthored, published in the journal Families, Systems & Health, it's noted that early-parenthood education -- including learning baby-soothing methods -- can significantly ease infant irritability and the stress of parent-kiddo relationships. Post-counseling, moms perceived their infants as less difficult.
Why it may work for you: If parents recognize colic and have some background understanding of it, that can reduce some of the stress of the situation. "With help, parents can learn strategies for coping. When they are less stressed and more confident, babies can sense that," notes Patrick. Then they can feel better, too.

Former champions cannot afford to lose inside the Palms on Saturday
By:Mike Sloan inLas Vegas: Compared to the hostilities of the Amir Khan-Danny Garcia press conference a few miles away and a few hours earlier, the final pre-fight presser featuring Anthony Mundine and Bronco McKart was tame. Never bordering on tasteless or aggressiveness by any means, both former titleholders were respectful of one another, though both predicted a victory.
The Mundine-McKart card will be held inside thePearlconcert hall in the Palms Hotel & Casino on the same night as the aforementioned Khan-Garcia event, but the promoters of this card claim they have the all around better night of action. Sporting a bill full up up-and-comers as well as established contenders, the event is punctuated by the ultimate crossroads bout in Mundine v McKart. The winner will certainly remain alive in the picture of the bigger fights but whoever loses will fall back to the bottom of the pile, maybe for good.
Mundine was once a top-flight contender who became world champion after he turned to professional boxing at age 25. Having first been one of the greatest and most successful rugby players in his nativeAustralia, his transition to the sport of professional boxing was nothing short of astonishing. He's achieved great success inside the ring and Mundine (43-4, 25KOs) was the best boxer from the Land Down Under (next to Kostya Tszyu) for many years and scored some terrific wins in his career.
McKart is also a former champion and has taken on some of the best fighters of his generation, though he was never able to really take that next step into greatness. At 41 years old, the time is now for McKart (54-9-1, 32KOs) and he simply can't afford to lose to Mundine, a man considered by many experts as past his prime.
"It's going to be a great night, a great fight," McKart said at the dais on Thursday. "There's no two ways about it. I'm an old school fighter. I don't do anything (fancy), I don't train any special way; I just train hard. I fight hard and I consider myself a blue-collar fighter. I also consider myself a champion."
McKart always has been that sort of throwback fighter because he always been ready and willing to fight anyone at any time. Mundine, though not known to the casual boxing fan inAmerica, has a ton to prove to the masses in the States and he needs to put his talents on display for all to see. He's been quoted in the days leading up to the McKart fight that he wants to fight Floyd Mayweather at some point in the near future. For that to even be considered, he'd have to throttle McKart and possibly score another major victory or two, something the Aussie understands.
"Of course I'd love to fight Mayweather," Mundine said. "Will I get the chance to fight him just by beating Bronco McKart? I don't think so. But this is the first step I need to take in order to get that fight. I believe I am one of a few people who has the ability to give him a great fight. I think I could beat him."
Still, the Mayweather fight is the last thing on his mind because if he's not focused 100% on McKart, his potential plans could go flying right out the window.
"Right now I'm thinking only about Bronco and how I'm going to beat him," said Mundine, who also gave a heart-felt apology to the American people for his disparaging comments he made more than a decade ago about the terrorist attacks onAmericaon September 11, something he said was taken out of context. The media applauded him and several people, including McKart, thanked him for apologizing and by all accounts, being sincere about it.
After that brief moment of emotions, it was back to business and the main event fighters spoke for the last time before exiting the stage. Both oozing with confidence and without even a hint of trash talk, McKart and Mundine respectfully gave their final two cents worth of pre-fight banter.
"I'm coming to win, he's coming to win," McKart said with a smile. "And when you got two guys who want the same thing, only one of them can get it. So, it's going to be a great fight and I'm looking forward to it."
"I'm looking forward to this fight, man; it's been a long time coming," Mundine countered. "I believe I'm here for a reason and that is to invade theUS. I want to display my skills and show that I'm the best all-around athlete ever. You just need to check my resume to see what I've done in my life. See what I've done in my career in two sports. I've won three world championships in boxing, which I think is harder (than rugby). I'm going to razzle, dazzle, bring buoyancy, you're going to like my style. I'm very charismatic. Bronco is going to come and bring it, too, but like he said; only one man can win. But I know that is going to be me. Peace."

Living without electricity isn't that bad. What is bad is when the running water stops. What is pure chaos is when there is no gasoline in a combination with the previous two, people can no longer be mobile at that point forcing them to deal with their problems in only the immediate environment around them.
No electricity isn't a big deal, I've lived without it for a long time after large storms have brought down power lines. Always remember to keep canned goods and some propane handy, that way you have at least several days worth of food noms to eat!
Now, for water... if that stops working then sanitation stops working. Not being able to get rid of the refuse causes some major issues if it is not restored in time, disease, illness, etc. This is often seen in large storms that take out swaths of a city.
The final thing is lack of quick movement. When the world shrinks around a person and they can no longer move quickly, then the problems only fold in on themselves. Amazing how many Americans freak out when they can't get gasoline. Japanese cope better since they do walk / ride bikes many places and still are based on a small business / environment setting. Much of American cannot do that, it is wholly reliant upon the car.
Electricity is nothing... Water is the most important thing ever.... I lived off the grid for 10 years... on a generator.... so I know how to live without electricity... but the most important thing is water..... no water no life..
I guess I'd go hunting with my horse more often... I havent rode him in 3 months
I wouldn't take it too bad tbh, i guess figuring out the main source of the issue would be my first idea, after that prolly go hang out with my friends, do some of my old hobbies again like skating, football(not handegg..), and hey maybe if im bored enough get a gf
fish go m00
be bored as fuck and get mad
I would be dead since by body runs on electricity.
i'd make it
ummmm..... bitches.
I would probably grow an obsession with chess or checkers.
Or read..FOR FUN. Yuck.
Ugh I hate this.
Shiiiit, I'd be outta the job. I am an electrician afterall
Thinking of something cool to say...
I think frankly for most of us in this world, living without electricity would be frankly quite difficult. Likely not impossible, but difficult. Modern society as we know it would crumble without it.
About 7 years ago, when I lived in an apartment, there was a big fire, and while my unit remained habitable, the power was completely out for 5 days. I wore sweatshirts and pants inside (no heat), and took a chair into the hallway where the emergency lights were on, and read after work, and then maybe went to bed by 8pm as there was really nothing else to do. By day 3, the fridge began to smell, and so I had to throw everything out. I ate out at the same Chinese nearby restaurant everyday that they started recognizing me when I came in. I do keep emergency stuff around now, but still, it's only for temporary purposes with eventual restoration of electricity a necessity.
Of greater impact was a recent power outage affecting parts of Reno a while, which included the pathology office where I work. Modern microscopes, lab equipment, and computers and electronic medical records all rely on electricity. Fortunately, I drove off to the hospital office which had power and worked there, and just wrote my diagnoses down (until the power could be restored to the servers which normally hold the medical record data). However, if the entire city went dark, much of the entire healthcare system (not to mention all sorts of other things) would have ground to a halt. It'd be a disaster.
People are incredibly adaptable.

AHL Game Day: 11-25-12 Crunch at Sharks
The Sharks get bit by one of Syracuse's star rookies.
Dustin Tokarski allowed one goal on 26 shots for the victory.
First Period
SYR Brown, (2) (Connolly, Cote), 2:14
SYR Brown, (3) (Nightingale, Devos), 5:55
SYR Johnson, (12) (Panik), 6:16
WOR Kearns, (7) (Pelech, Kennedy), 16:37
Second Period
SYR Johnson, (13) (Killorn, Taormina), 13:33 (PP)
Third Period
SYR Korobov, (2) (Connolly, Brown), 14:05 (PP)
SYR Brown, (4) (Connolly, Devos), 17:31
J.T. Brown (pictured), Tyler Johnson, and Brett Connolly were the game's three stars. This was inevitable. J.T. Brown has too many gifts to not have an outburst like this from time to time, especially when he's playing with guys like Connolly who are just as talented and creative.
Lost in the jet fuel fumes of Brown's game is the fact Tyler Johnson just pulled into the league lead in goals with 13 in 17 games. TJ could hit 60 goals this year. He's got one of the best shots in the league, amazing wheels, and a talented supporting cast around him. Conacher got all the awards last year, but we may well see Johnson carrying the bulk of the hardware in 2012-2013.
The Panik attack hit 10 games today with an assist on one of Johnson's goals. There's one more game left on the schedule for Syracuse in November, and here's an interesting philosophical question for the league to ponder. If a player gets a point in every single game in a month, should not said player be the Player of the Month? Am I wrong? Right now, Richard Panik has 7 goals and 13 points in 10 November contests.
Dmitry Korobov scoring his second goal of the season gives me an opportunity to dote on the young KHL transplant. At +12 he's tied for third in the AHL in +/-, and 2 goals and 5 points in his first 14 games in North America is nothing to sneeze at. The big Belarussian is going to get better as he continues to settle in, and he's already pretty darned good.
Syracuse sits in first in the Eastern Conference, and has another 3 games in 3 nights weekend starting on Friday against the Penguins.

Franz Drappier, better known under only his first name, studied Plastic Arts at the Institut Saint-Luc in Brussels and Fine Arts in Mons. He worked as an illustrator from 1966 until he began making comics in 1969. After drawing several historical comics for both Spirou and Tintin, Franz made the humorous series 'Korrigan' with writer Vicq in Tintin. In 1972, he briefly appeared in Pilote, and he created 'Les Aventures de Christopher' with writer Yves Duval in Le Soir Jeunesse. The same year, Franz joined the art studios of Henri Desclez, where he made the drawings for seven episodes of 'Commissaire San-Antonio'.
Starting in 1975, his name appeared more frequently in Tintin. He took over the series 'Jugurtha' from Hermann and he started his own series 'Hypérion' with scripts by André-Paul Duchâteau and 'Lester Cockney', for which he wrote the scripts himself. Besides his several series, Franz also drew independent comics, such as 'Bruxelles, Mille Ans d'Épopée', '1830, La Révolution Belge', 'Captain Tom' and 'Pur-Sang'. He began an association with the magazine Charlie Mensuel in 1982, where he started the series 'Thomas Noland' with scriptwriter by Daniel Pecqueur. Two years later, he did several short stories scripted by José-Luis Bocquet and Jean-Luc Fromental in Métal Aventure.
Thomas Noland
While continuing 'Jugurtha' and 'Lester Cockney', Franz began 'Poupée d'Ivoire' in Vécu in 1987 and he drew a new episode of the late Jijé's western comic 'Jerry Spring' in 1990. In 1991, he began to work on the comic adaptation of Paul-Loup Sulitzer's novel 'Hannah' with scripts by Jean Annestay for Dupuis. In addition to his artwork, Franz wrote scripts for Jean-Louis Pesch ('Les Primeurs' in Tintin), Christian Denayer ('Gord' in Tintin and Hello Bédé), Éric ('Les Perdus de l'Empire'), Jarbinet ('Sandy Eastern' for Éditions Blanco), François Plisson ('Akarad') and Odrade ('Ishrum'). In 1994 and 1996, he created 'Irish Melody' and 'Shamrock Song', two comics about the youth of his character 'Lester Cockney'. In 2001, he started his final series, 'Compagnons de Fortune' at Delcourt. Franz Drappier passed away on 8 January 2003.

Speculation of an Apple iWatch shows no sign of going away, with another prominent news source reporting that the Cupertino company does indeed have a wrist-based device of one form or another up its sleeve.
According to a Bloomberg report on Tuesday, the iWatch project is far from being some kind of part-time Blue Sky personal project. Apparently, "a team of about 100 product designers [is] working on a wristwatch-like device that may perform some of the computing tasks now handled by the iPhone and iPad."
One hundred. That's a lot of people and a lot of designing and certainly suggests that "Apple is beyond the experimentation phase in its development," as Bloomberg puts it.
The project team reportedly comprises "managers, members of the marketing group and software and hardware engineers who previously worked on the iPhone and iPad."
Bloomberg cites "two people familiar with the company's plans" as its source, though of course they remain nameless.
Earlier this week both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal published pieces suggesting the tech giant was in the midst of designing an iWatch. Bloomberg's report goes one step further, however, naming two individuals it believes are directly associated with the project.
It says James Foster, Apple's senior director of engineering, together with Achim Pantfoerder, who has a number of Apple patents to his name, are both key members of the development team.
"…and we're calling it….iWatch"
With so many iWatch-related reports appearing in recent days – and from mainstream media outlets at that – is it now safe to assume that Apple's next big thing is a little wristwatch?
Are you able to imagine Tim Cook at some future Apple event pulling up his sleeve and saying "…and we're calling it….iWatch" with all the heartfelt passion and intensity with which Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone in 2007?
In his piece Why iWon't buy Apple's rumored smartwatch, DT's Simon Hill sees it merely as "a device we think we want, but we don't really need and won't really use." Could you see yourself laying down the cash for one?

Question: How important is the presidential campaign to the outcome in your race?
Answer: "I think it will be significant. Clearly, people are watching the presidential race; if they are excited by a candidate they are going to be more likely to vote." And that excitement will be in McNerney's favor, he said.
Q: What steps would you take to break down the polarizing politics in the House?
A: "That's a big challenge. One of the most significant problems, I think is campaign finance. ... I'd like to see some reduction in independent expenditures. That would help quite a bit. ... This negative advertising is a big part of the problem."
Q: How would you describe your political philosophy?
A: "We live in a great country that has freedoms that we take for granted, and it's important everyone understands how critical and how fragile democracy can be and we all participate in the democracy. ... I think the founding fathers had an idea in terms of balancing government between the forces of capitalism - which are very important - and the power of government to regulate capitalism. You need both. I understand and sympathize with people who think that government is too bureaucratic, that it's wasteful, that it needs to be improved. And I think we need to work together to solve that and not work against each other to solve that."
Q: What can you do to help unemployment, poor academic achievement and high crime?
A: (By) bringing money back for infrastructure projects, for education and to support public safety. ... The real thing is to work together at all levels, not only in government, but all levels to find an end to the violence in Stockton. ... That's absolutely critical; we can't do anything until we've done that. The second thing that is almost as critical is education. We need to have schools with good reputations, so that companies want to move their businesses here, will feel that they will have good employees and feel that their employees will be safe. ... The infrastructure in San Joaquin is actually pretty good, so if we can get public safety, and a good reputation for our schools, I think the economy is going to take off."
Q: What can you do to alleviate the impact of the foreclosure crisis, which has hit San Joaquin County and Stockton harder than most places in the country?
A: "I'm going to be instrumental in bringing foreclosure workshops here. And I'm going to continue working on that. It's important that people know what's available out there. ... I've continued to put pressure on the administration for principal reduction plans and for other federal measures to make sure the mortgage contracts are simple and understandable, so that people don't get taken advantage of. We want to make sure that the big banks are being watched and don't feel like they can take advantage of consumers. And (they) don't cause a bubble in the system like we had that caused this whole foreclosure crisis in the first place. ... I've taken several very specific steps with legislation with foreclosure and also general steps in supporting the kind of reform that would prevent the bubbles from re-emerging that caused this crisis in the first place."
Q: Would you vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act?
A: "Absolutely not. ... The health care system in this country desperately needed reform. ... The Affordable Care Act is not perfect (and) needs work, but it's going to make a difference, because the reforms enacted ... are going to reduce the cost of health care in this country and improve the quality in the long run."
Q: What is your signature issue? The one thing you'd like to accomplish if elected to the 112th Congress?
A: "I have three. ... The economy has got to be our big thing, we have to figure out and create jobs, nationally and locally. The other two top issues are veterans and protecting the Delta."
Q: Many have identified your race as a toss-up. What's going to make the difference?
A: "I've been in the district for six years; I've been at town hall meetings and Congress at your Corners. I've been accessible. I've made it clear I've helped with the veterans hospital. So people know what I've accomplished. People know me, they're familiar with me. I'm not a surprise; I'm not an unknown quantity. I work hard for the community and people accept that. That's going to be an important factor."

Can I buy nicotine e-liquid in Australia?
Yes you can. Under the Personal Importation Scheme (Australian Government Department of Health Therapeutic Goods Administration), Australians can import Nicotine e liquids and Vaping products for personal use from offshore websites like Caktus Vape.
You are allowed to order up to a 3 month supply of nicotine containing e liquid at any one time.
As a 3 month supply really does come down to personal consumption, for reference a 30ml bottle of e liquid should last on average 7 days. This is to be used as a reference only.
What do I need to get started?
We advise that you have a read through our TOP 2 Kits & E Liquid for beginners. Especially those transitioning from Cigarettes to Vaping. Click here to have a browse.
Due to Shipping Restrictions on loose 18650 batteries we are not able to ship loose 18650 cells to Australia. If the device you purchase requires 18650 cells you will need to purchase these local in Australia.
This only applies to devices that have interchangeable 18650 batteries. All other devices where the batteries are pre installed are fine.
What Coils do i need?
You will find on our coils pages a list of all the devices that coil is compaitble for on the product image itself as well as in the overview tab. Alternatively if you check the coil type inside your device on the coil iteself or in the manual that is in the box of your device. Visit our Coils Page or contact our support team via the chat service or email firstname.lastname@example.com for further assitance.
What is the cost?
The costs of electronic cigarettes vary depending on the type. Most beginner kits range from $20-$70, intermediate kits usually cost between $60-$120 and advanced kits costs $100 upwards.
In terms of the maintenance cost, it is relatively low. The only items that need to be purchased on the regular are; replacement coils (a 5 pack will usually last you over a month) and your preferred choice of eLiquid.
Frequency of purchase is dependent on you personal use, as the higher the voltage the less the lifespan of the coil head will be and the faster you will go through eLiquid.
What are the shipping options?
We offer free shipping on all orders over $120 to ALL Australian addresses. For orders under that amount your rate will be calculated on checkout . For more information on shipping please visit our Shipping & Deliveries page
How do I use the products?
The majority of our beginner products are very straightforward to use and have online videos as well as instruction booklets that are useful should you need some help.
Can I Travel or Fly to/within Australia with my Eliquid, E-cigarette or Vaporizer?
If travelling to/within Australia - Yes you can - Australia is fine with you traveling with your eliquid and vaporizer as long as you meet the travel guidelines:
1. Keep all vaporizers / mods / batteries / tanks in your carry on luggage when traveling at all times. (This is mainly due to battery safety on board the aircraft)
2. On international flights; Individual eliquid bottles must not exceed 100ml (The same for all types of liquids on board a flight) place eliquid in your carry on luggage.
3. If asked what any of your kit or eliquid is, tell the truth. Its not illegal in Australia to use or travel with any vape related items.
For traveling outside of Australia the rules are generally the same but its always best to double check with your airline or research online according to your destination.
What is MTL (Mouth to Lung) - DTL (Direct To Lung)?
Mouth To Lung - Vaping with a coil resistance of 1.0ohms and higher will create a hit of vapour inhaled to your mouth which best simulates smoking a real (analogue) cigarette. This is why Starter Kits are basic devices with MTL hits because simulating the same hit as smoking is the best way for someone to kick the habit for good.
Direct To Lung - Vaping with a coil resistance lower than 1.0ohms creates more vapour and requires more power from your device. The increased hit of vapour goes directly to your lungs and can be compared to big draws from shisha.
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards via pay pal.
What nicotine strength should I choose?
As a beginner coming from cigarettes, we would recommend Med 12mg strength. This is to mimic the harshness of a cigarette and also to provide you with a similar amount of nicotine that you would be used to. For heavy smokers we would recommend High 18mg. If you are wanting to Direct to Lung / Sub Ohm vape we would recommend a max of 6mg of nicotine but preferably 3mg or lower.
What are the ingredients in eLiquids?
- All E-Liquid consists of Vegetable Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, flavourings, nicotine
- Some Juices are 100% VG which means they contain no Propylene Glycol.
- Max VG does not mean there is no Propyene Glycol in the juice
Propylene Glycol (PG):
- Propylene Glycol is high quality pharmaceutical grade, in combination with the nicotine and flavours this gives you more of a throat hit.
Vegetable Glycerine (VG):
- Glycerine helps to produce more vapour and holds more flavour. VG is thicker in
Is nicotine harmful?
On it's own nicotine has never been shown to be harmful through scientific research. Much of the negativity surrounding nicotine stems from it's combination with tobacco cigarettes.
How long does a bottle of E-Liquid last?
A 10ml bottle should last you approximately 2-4 days, A 30ml bottle should last 7-10 days. This is for an average user. A standard tank has a 2ml capacity and this often lasts a whole day for the average user. This is all of course subject to how much you vape and what type of device you use. The higher the wattage the faster you will use the eliquid.
Customer Reviews
I haven't tried a lot of different e-liquids. But for me trying to quit smoking and start vaping again for a second time it's great. Lovely tobacco taste. Much better than the previous 5 varieties I've tried. It's hard to pick a favourite they all have a slightly different flavour. Will probably be buying Solo and Quartet in 30ml bottles so I can mix and match.
I tried The Notebook (on a mtl device 1.2 & 0.9 ohms) as I had been looking forward to it for a while & was slightly dissapointed. I found most of the flavours not to my expection (maybe too high) wiith perhaps Prelude & Forte being the nicest but not amazing. Solo was the most disappointing as it tasted quite underwhelming & I only detected a hint of mint on 2 occasions. I don't doubt this is a quality product with beautiful presentation, but not for me at the moment. I will go back to it at a later date & experiment to see if I can get more from them (maybe i was meant to steep them), i dont know as I am relatively new to vaping.
Good selection of flavors. Enjoyed most. Worth a try if you like natural tabacco flavour.
This is great stuff. Tried them all over a few days. Saved quartet until last as thought I would really enjoy it but found it had a taste a bit like the smell of bandaids? Maybe I'll warm to it when I'm out of juice.
Sonata is my favourite. Prelude nice with forte equal second, then legato. Solo was surprisingly good as a non menthol Ex smoker. Quartet last.
A good kit to see what flavour you prefer.
Glad I tried the book. Found my favourite in Sonata. Thanks caktus.
