It appears there's an app for everything these days, including Bluetooth headsets. The BlueAnt Q1 was the first with an Android app, and now the Sound ID 510 is the first with a custom iPhone app. Though the Q1's Android app is mostly for reading incoming text messages, the custom iPhone app for the Sound ID 510 is designed for enhancing the headset experience; it does everything from fine-tune the audio quality to add a unique headset-locator feature.
And let's not forget the actual headset. The Sound ID 510 is the latest headset from Sound ID, and it boasts three microphones for optimum noise-canceling, an environment-awareness mode, and multiple ear fittings to assure ear comfort. That, combined with the iPhone app, makes the Sound ID 510 one of the best headsets for iPhone owners. Sound ID will release apps for Android and BlackBerry users later in the year, along with A2DP functionality via a firmware upgrade. The Sound ID 510 is available for $130.
The Sound ID 510 looks very similar to previous Sound ID headsets, such as the Sound ID 400. Measuring around 2.1 inches long by 0.6 inch wide by 0.3 inch thick, the Sound ID 510 is so slim and skinny that it looks like a stick of gum. It comes in both black and white, and is encased in a hard plastic shell. The overall design is rather plain, but it does have that sleek minimalist appeal.
On the front surface is a round multifunction call button with a tiny LED indicator dot above it. The button has a curved dome surface, so it's easy to find by feel. The rest of the headset's front surface is home to a touch sensor volume control--you slide your finger up and down it to adjust the volume. This worked well for the most part, but we tend to prefer physical controls so that there's no danger of accidentally increasing or decreasing the volume.
On the left side of the headset is the power toggle, which we like since it makes it easier to power the headset off in order to conserve battery life. The charger jack is on the top. On the back of the Sound ID 510 is the earpiece, clad in one of Sound ID's soft Real Comfort ear loops. The ear loop is tapered down to a spout for a nice, snug fit in the ear. You don't need a hook to wear it, but the headset does come with an optional ear hook for a more secure fit. We found the fit to be quite comfortable and snug, and didn't get tired of it even after hours of wear. The ear loop can be positioned to fit either ear, and Sound ID provides three different sizes for a more customized fit.
Previous Sound ID headsets had special features like Personal Sound mode and Environmental sound mode. All of those controls are now housed within the iPhone app, called EarPrint. The EarPrint app is free to download from the iTunes Appstore, and works only with the Sound ID 510. Similarly, these special features are only available with the iPhone app, and not on any other phone at the moment.
There are four separate components to the EarPrint app. One is a Sound Level indicator, which lets you know how loud the surrounding area is by measurement of decibels. Another is the Personal Sound mode, which acts as a personal audio equalizer that lets you fine-tune incoming audio. The Personal Sound interface is that of a grid, and depending on where you tap your finger, you can adjust the volume and tone of the audio. We found this to be a great tool, especially since not all our callers sound the same. Still, we wish a lot of this were more automated, since we didn't feel like fiddling with the Personal Sound tool all the time.

Governor's Office of Consumer Protection Settles with Time Share Resellers
ATLANTA, GA – John Sours, Administrator of the Governor's Office of Consumer Protection ("OCP"), has announced that the agency has entered into settlements with Safe Hands Transfers, LLC and Direct Transfers, LLC. The businesses, which are owned by the same principals, provide timeshare transfer and lien release services to consumers throughout the country, including in the state of Georgia. OCP began investigating the companies after receiving complaints that they were employing a variety of deceptive and illegal sales and advertising practices. OCP's investigation revealed that the companies were sending out postcard mailers to consumers implying that they would offer consumers money in exchange for their timeshares. Consumers who responded by attending a sales presentation were instead allegedly pressured into paying thousands of dollars to transfer their timeshare deed over to the companies or to sign up for the companies' lien release services.
Consumers who agreed to the company's lien release services claimed that they were not informed that this might have a detrimental effect on their credit score, could result in their being subject to collections or sued by creditors or debt collectors, and might lead to foreclosure.
The companies allegedly failed to inform consumers verbally or in writing of their three-day right to cancel their contracts.
To resolve these allegations Direct Transfers, LLC has agreed to refund consumers approximately $59,000 and to pay $37,500 in penalties and administrative costs. Safe Hands Transfers, LLC is required to pay approximately $29,000 in restitution to consumers and to pay $37,500 in penalties and administrative costs. The companies are also required to cease and desist from offering and performing lien release services in Georgia.
"Consumers have a right to fair and accurate information when entering into a timeshare transaction," says OCP Administrator John Sours. "We're committed to ensuring that timeshare resellers in Georgia play by the rules and that the victims of these acts find relief."

Intel, who's a client for video and audio podcasts, took me on a tour of their newest addition to their Second Life island. This was a true brand experience, that infused the Intel message with a quest to find three parts; A jet pack, and two Intel chips to power it. Why jetpacks? They represent speed, agility, and flexibility. Those who complete the quest can use this jetpack to fly higher than most and fly quickly through Second Life , for geeks like me, it's bragging rights for the second world and first.
Tim who focuses on the gaming market at Intel toured myself, Adam who's reporting from Reuters. (You know Reuters is taking Second Life seriously), and a few others.
This "Journey to the heart of Intel Island" was unlike other simulations, it was multi-dimensional. There are elevators that let users move down several layers underground, as well as above a strategically placed tower. You'll find cross branding events with Orange County Choppers, and a virtual music concert. At one concert hall you can watch videos of the multiply yourself campaign, but this time it features Second Life avatars, great cross-over.
The experience is rich as flying laptops are pets, they provide additional on-brand messages and quest tips.
There are multiple venues to explore in the simulation, from an underground life size chip, to a conference area, to a concert area, this is a multi-purpose environment. What's most interesting is that Second Life citizens will have to ask a jetpack owner where they got the jetpack, it's a brilliant word-of-mouth campaign. But don't ask me for tips, you gotta give it your own try, for some it will take some time to find the pieces, (maybe even 30 minutes) but it's emotionally satisfying when you earn it.
Thanks Intel, and MRM Worldwide/McCann Erickson (Updated July 25th: I forgot to include some of the folks who helped out on this) who was the agency who developed the Island along with developers Millions of Us. Ogilvy, the PR agency and Intel invited me for the sneak preview when the doors opened at 9am today. This was a unique interactive brand quest that left me feeling that by getting the chips would empower the virtual experience better, it make sense.
I was asked for my feedback, and I said it would be interesting if the simulation would create a floating island high above that's only accessible by the jet pack. Heck, take me to the moon or a new planet!
If you're a corporation in SecondLife, I'd love to hear about it, let me know, my email address is on the top right.
The Private Tour starts
Tie ins with Orange County Choppers
Just got my jetpack, but it's unpowered
Second Life avatars dance to "mutliply yourself", very clever cross-branding
Deep inside the Island, this is one of the first simulations to be multi-level
Yes, I got the final chip, and my jetpack is powered (notice full green bars on pack)
I've seen a few corporate Second Life islands, this one is well thought out and is a good example of opt-in brand immersion, for corporations that want to enter this space, take note, this is a good case study.

Dubai's nickname, the "City of Gold", is well earned: gold jewellery is sold here at some of the world's most competitive prices, and shopping among the constant flow of customers, many here for their marriage dowries, is an exceptional experience.
The Gold Souk is a fascinating warren of tiny shops and stalls clustered together in the old quarter of Deira. Visit in the cool of early evening when the souk is at its best, with lights blazing and window-shoppers out in force. Every corner is crammed with jewellery of every style and variety; spotlights pick out choice pieces and racks holding dozens of sparkling gold bangles and chains dazzle the eye.
Buying is a cagey but good-natured process: treat it as the chance to have a friendly chat with the shopkeeper, talking about family, work, life – anything but the item you've got your eye on. Then ask to see a few pieces, while surreptitiously assessing quality and sizing up your adversary, before lighting on the piece you knew you wanted from the start.
When the time comes to discuss money, bear in mind that the gold price fluctuates daily – and every shopkeeper in the souk knows the current price to several decimal places. Whereas in the West gold jewellery is sold at a fixed price, in Dubai the cost of each item has two separate components: the weight of the gold and the quality of craftsmanship involved in creating it. The former is fixed, according to the daily price-per-gram (listed in the newspaper) set against the item's purity; the latter is where bargaining comes into play, with you and the shopkeeper trading prices – always
with a smile – until you reach agreement.
It takes a cool head, amidst all that glittering gold, not to be dazzled into paying over the odds, but the experience is more than worth it.
Most shops in the Deira Gold Souk follow similar hours (daily 9am–10pm).

Featuring nine forward speeds, this automatic transmission takes efficiency, comfort and dynamics to a completely new level. It is the world's first 9-speed automatic transmission with hydrodynamic torque converter in the premium segment. The wider ratio spread allows a reduction in engine speed. Performance remains excellent, while ride comfort is enhanced and noise levels are reduced. Faster shift changes allow even more spontaneity and agility.
The Cabriolet has the option of AIR BODY CONTROL multi-chamber air suspension. Thanks to three chambers of different size in the spring struts of the rear axle and two in the spring struts of the front axle, the driver can control the hardness of the suspension in three stages. In this way, the occupants enjoy soft basic suspension, along with the secure feeling of good handling stability at higher speeds.
This suspension with selective passive damping system ensures well-balanced ride comfort by optimising ride characteristics, damping effect and stabilisation according to the road surface conditions. Lowering the suspension by 15 mm improves driving stability, particularly in corners, due to the lower centre of gravity and gives the vehicle a sportier look.
Using the DYNAMIC SELECT switch, the driver is able to change the vehicle's damping properties. The adjustment options provide a wide spread between comfortable, sporty and very sporty configurations. The driver has a choice between 3 stages, "Comfort", "Sport" and "Sport+". The damping effect of the shock absorbers is increased in "Sport" and "Sport+" modes. The harder suspension tuning allows a more dynamic driving style with a still high level of comfort.

Nuclear Power
NEI's Coyle, Public Citizen's Hauter debate the future of nuclear power in the U.S.
The nuclear industry is running more efficiently than ever, but it faces several huge problems: The plan to store high-level waste at Yucca Mountain continues to face delays and funding battles, and no new plants have been built in decades. Will new nuclear plants be built in the United States? Is nuclear power necessary to meet growing electricity demand? Nuclear industry critic Wenonah Hauter of Public Citizen and the Nuclear Energy Institute's Mike Coyle join OnPoint to debate these questions.

Saying it had the right to block "controversial or unsavory" text messages, Verizon Wireless has rejected a request from Naral Pro-Choice America, the abortion rights group, to make Verizon's mobile network available for a text-message program.
The other leading wireless carriers have accepted the program, which allows people to sign up for text messages from Naral by sending a message to a five-digit number known as a short code.
Text messaging is a growing political tool in the United States and a dominant one abroad, and such sign-up programs are used by many political candidates and advocacy groups to send updates to supporters.
But legal experts said private companies like Verizon probably have the legal right to decide which messages to carry. The laws that forbid common carriers from interfering with voice transmissions on ordinary phone lines do not apply to text messages.
The dispute over the Naral messages is a skirmish in the larger battle over the question of "net neutrality" — whether carriers or Internet service providers should have a voice in the content they provide to customers.
"This is right at the heart of the problem," said Susan Crawford, a visiting professor at the University of Michigan law school, referring to the treatment of text messages. "The fact that wireless companies can choose to discriminate is very troubling."
In turning down the program, Verizon, one of the nation's two largest wireless carriers, told Naral that it does not accept programs from any group "that seeks to promote an agenda or distribute content that, in its discretion, may be seen as controversial or unsavory to any of our users." Naral provided copies of its communications with Verizon to The New York Times.
Nancy Keenan, Naral's president, said Verizon's decision interfered with political speech and activism.
"No company should be allowed to censor the message we want to send to people who have asked us to send it to them," Ms. Keenan said. "Regardless of people's political views, Verizon customers should decide what action to take on their phones. Why does Verizon get to make that choice for them?"
A spokesman for Verizon said the decision turned on the subject matter of the messages and not on Naral's position on abortion. "Our internal policy is in fact neutral on the position," said the spokesman, Jeffrey Nelson. "It is the topic itself" — abortion — "that has been on our list."
Mr. Nelson suggested that Verizon may be rethinking its position. "As text messaging and multimedia services become more and more mainstream," he said, "we are continuing to review our content standards." The review will be made, he said, "with an eye toward making more information available across ideological and political views."
Naral provided an example of a recent text message that it has sent to supporters: "End Bush's global gag rule against birth control for world's poorest women! Call Congress. (202) 224-3121. Thnx! Naral Text4Choice."
Messages urging political action are generally thought to be at the heart of what the First Amendment protects. But the First Amendment limits government power, not that of private companies like Verizon.
In rejecting the Naral program, Verizon appeared to be acting against its economic interests. It would have received a small fee to set up the program and additional fees for messages sent and received.
Text messaging programs based on five- and six-digit short codes are a popular way to receive updates on news, sports, weather and entertainment. Several of the leading Democratic presidential candidates have used them, as have the Republican National Committee, Save Darfur and Amnesty International.
Most of the candidates and advocacy groups that use text message programs are liberal, which may reflect the demographics of the technology's users and developers. A spokeswoman for the National Right to Life Committee, which is in some ways Naral's anti-abortion counterpart, said, for instance, that it has not dabbled in text messaging.
Texting has proved to be an extraordinarily effective political tool. According to a study released this month by researchers at Princeton and the University of Michigan, young people who received text messages reminding them to vote in November 2006 were more likely to go to the polls. The cost per vote generated, the study said, was much smaller than other sorts of get-out-the-vote efforts.
Around the world, the phenomenon is even bigger.
"Even as dramatic as the adoption of text messaging for political communication has been in the United States, we've been quite slow compared to the rest of the world," said James E. Katz, the director of the Center for Mobile Communication Studies at Rutgers University. "It's important in political campaigns and political protests, and it has affected the outcomes of elections."
Timothy Wu, a law professor at Columbia, said it was possible to find analogies to Verizon's decision abroad. "Another entity that controls mass text messages is the Chinese government," Professor Wu said.
Jed Alpert, the chief executive officer of Mobile Commons, which says it is the largest provider of mobile services to political and advocacy groups, including Naral, said he had never seen a decision like Verizon's.
"This is something we haven't encountered before, that is very surprising and that we're concerned about," Mr. Alpert said.
Professor Wu pointed to a historical analogy. In the 19th century, he said, Western Union, the telegraph company, engaged in discrimination, based on the political views of people who sought to send telegrams. "One of the eventual reactions was the common carrier rule," Professor Wu said, which required telegraph and then phone companies to accept communications from all speakers on all topics.
Some scholars said such a rule was not needed for text messages because market competition was sufficient to ensure robust political debate.
"Instead of having the government get in the game of regulating who can carry what, I would get in the game of promoting as many options as possible," said Christopher S. Yoo, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania. "You might find text-messaging companies competing on their openness policies."

For better or for worse, it looks like the aforementioned Toshiba laptop is mine to keep, indefinitely. My offer to return it to its rightful owner today was shrugged off politely.
Oh … joy. … 😦
I still haven't managed to get to the BIOS, it still won't boot from CD and still Slitaz is the only distro that will attack its video card without cataclysmic failure.
And it still has a battered-to-death keyboard, a thick layer of goo and gunk in all the wrong places and the smell of an elderly pet that follows it everywhere. 😐
(It's a shame really: Why is it every machine with a smashed keyboard has an impeccable screen, and every laptop with a fractured screen has a perfect keyboard. Life isn't fair.)
With free reign over the hardware, I felt like I could take a closer look at the original system drive; I made a point of removing the original before trying anything funny.
I don't see any proprietary BIOS access programs anywhere, although the machine has a legitimate Windows ME sticker but runs XP. Perhaps the owner "lost" that program when "upgrading" the system software. 🙄
The only version of the hwsetup.exe program I could find on the Internet was intended for 660-series Porteges, and when I ran it, it tried to unzip to a floppy drive … which this machine doesn't have.
So I'm not really any closer to getting this machine into a workable condition than I was two days ago, when I first brought it home, holding it at arm's length, between thumb and forefinger. …
But in every obstacle, opportunity. I haven't exhausted all my options yet, and just because one or two distros fall flat, that doesn't mean everything is cursed to eternal doom.
Even a beat-up, battered, keyboardless, framebufferless Celeron has a few hoops it can jump through. … 😈

The initial residential core of Kavala was the hill of Panaghia, a neighborhood where several traditional residences can be seen nowadays. On top of the hill there is an imposing Castle, the symbol of the city. Traces of a small settlement dating back to the Neolithic era have been discovered at the eastern extremity of the hill.
During the historic years (mid-7th century B.C.), the inhabitants of nearby Thassos established a colony on the same hill. The colony was named "Neapoli" and its principal aim was to control the commercial activities of the Thassian Peraea and take advantage of the auriferous mountain Paggaio. Due to its privileged position and mainly its commercial port, Neapoli was bound to become very prosperous. It became financially autonomous and obtained the right to create its own coins. As a member of the Athenian League Neapoli was in good terms with Athens, which was very powerful at the time.
During the Macedonian hegemony (4th century B.C.) the town lost its autonomy and became the port of the nearby Macedonian town of Filippoi. During the Roman period the town continued to prosper as a main trade station of Egnatia and port of Filippoi.
During the Byzantine period (probably 8th -9th century A.D.) the town is named "Christoupoli" because of the expansion of the new religion following the visit of Apostle Paul in 49-50 A.D. Nowadays, you can still see many ruins of the Byzantine fortifications on the hill of Panaghia, as well as the imposing Castle, in which the big circular tower still survives.
Christoupoli suffered many raids by the Slavs, Franks, Venetians and Turks. In 1391 the Ottomans conquered the town and in late 15th it acquired its current name. The Turks restored the Castle and the walls and in 1550 approximately they constructed the big imposing aqueduct of Kavala (Kamares), following the orders of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent (1520-1566). The aqueduct was constructed on the traces of the Byzantine wall, comprises of 60 arches of four different sizes and is 54 meters high.
In 1769 the founder of the last Egyptian dynasty Mehmet Ali was born in Kavala. He lived in Kavala for many years and today his residence houses a museum, located on top of the hill of Panaghia quarter, near Panaghia church. Mehmet Ali became a benefactor of his hometown as in 1817 he built the Poorhouse (Imaret), also housing a Seminary and a boarding school. The building is a unique example of Islam architectural tradition and is now property of the Egyptian state. It is currently being transformed in a luxury hotel and you can admire it on your way up to the Castle.
After the tragedy of Asia Minor in 1922 some 25,000 Greek refugees settled in Kavala causing a significant increase of its population. During the same period, Kavala reached a great economic heyday, as it was a major tobacco processing and trading center for the whole region of SE Europe. Many foreign tobacco traders settled in Kavala and built residences and tobacco warehouses. A typical example of such residences is the one of Hungarian tobacco trader Baron Pierre Herzog built in 1890.
Nowadays it houses the Town Hall of Kavala, located at Kyprou Street, behind the War Memorial. Next to the Town Hall another building stands out: it is the Great Club, built in 1909. On the same road you will find the manor of tobacco trader D. Tokkos built in 1879 and today housing the 12th Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities of Kavala.

Did they clean all the dust off all that metal? I dont understand when this picture was taken. Also, this guys response made me giggle a bit. "It's ... from the United Airlines plane that hit Tower 2," Corley states flatly. In reviewing crash footage taken by an ABC news crew, Corley was able to track the trajectory of the fragments he studied—including a section of the landing gear and part of an engine—as they tore through the South Tower, exited from the building's north side and fell from the sky.warriorhun wrote:Dear Simon Shack,

Global Shares Rise Before U.S. Budget Talks, Yen At Two-Year Low
World shares and the euro edged higher on Friday as U.S. lawmakers prepared to resume negotiations on avoiding a fiscal crisis, while the yen hit a two-year low on the prospect of drastic monetary easing in Japan.
U.S. President Barack Obama and lawmakers are set to have a last round of talks before a New Year deadline to reach a deal on averting major tax increases and spending cuts which could drag the economy and others around the world into recession.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will meet congressional leaders from the Republican and Democrat parties at the White House at 2000 GMT.
The MSCI all world share index was up 0.15 percent shortly after trading opened in Europe. With London's FTSE 100 .FTSE, Paris's CAC-40 .FCHI and Frankfurt's DAX .GDAXI all just in positive territory, the regional FTSEurofirst 300 .FTEU3 was up just over 0.1 percent and moving towards last week's 19-month high.
Members of Congress were divided on the odds of success at the budget talks, but IG strategist Stan Shamu noted some hope in the markets. "There is growing optimism that a deal can be knocked (together) before the deadline," IG strategist Stan Shamu wrote in a note.
In Asia, Japan's benchmark Nikkei index hit a 21-month high as markets priced in a huge injection of stimulus by the Bank of Japan following the election of a new government. The expectations also pushed the yen to a new two-year low versus the dollar.
The yen has now fallen roughly 10.5 percent versus the dollar in 2012, its biggest annual drop since 2005. At the same time Japan's benchmark Nikkei is up 22 percent for the year.
"The Japanese equity market has turned positive, providing good sentiment for global investors, with many making money and putting the money into commodity markets such as the oil market," said Tetsu Emori, a commodity fund manager at Astmax in Tokyo.
The euro edged up past $1.325 as trading remained thin as Christmas holidays continued for many investors. It came as France reported its economy had grown 0.1 percent in the third quarter.
European bond markets were largely quiet. German Bund futures rose on concerns that a U.S. budget deal will, after all, remain elusive.

Are You a Masters Coach or a Master of Coaching?
by, October 15th, 2018 at 12:16 PM (1053 Views)
Q: Are You a Masters Coach or a Master of Coaching?
A: Maybe youre both. Fantastic. If youre not both, why?
Most of us can stand on the pool deck and bark out a workout to our swimmers occasionally telling them what they can do to swim better.
Some of us fill our coaching tool box with teaching methods to enhance our athletes swimming experience.
However, only a few of us make the effort to become a master of our trade, coaches who look at each day as an opportunity to boost our skills, deliver a meaningful experience for our athletes, and improve the lives of others.
Do you
- know your swimmers, their goals, motivations, and, most importantly, their name? Do you address each athlete every day, making it a personalized and positive encounter?
- just write a workout or do you deliver a workout and engage with each and every swimmer at practice in an individualized, meaningful, and purposeful way?
- offer stroke technique advice communicating not just the how to do it but the why you should try it method of inspiring improvement?
- care about your athletes on and off the pool deck? Remember this quote from Indy Aquatic Masters Mel Goldstein: No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.
- thank them for coming to practice and invite them to return?
At some level, we all have a passion for swimming. Channel your passion into your coaching and become the best Master of Coaching you can be.

Deadline for EHLP foreclosure prevention assistance in PA is Sept. 30
August 2, 2011
In response to some misleading news reports and confusing messages on the Internet, the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency stressed the deadline for homeowners in the state to apply for assistance through the Emergency Homeowners' Loan Program, or EHLP, is Sept. 30.
Various states across the country are administering the EHLP as authorized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The confusion over the EHLP application deadline has arisen because the program is structured differently in some states and, as a result, application deadlines vary. Some recent news reports have cited the July 22 date without clearly specifying the states where that deadline is in effect, leading to some confusion.
Pennsylvania is one of six states that ran their own foreclosure prevention programs prior to this authorization for EHLP funding. In those six states, the deadline for applications is Sept. 30. However, interested homeowners are advised to apply as soon as possible since some time is needed for application processing. With this in mind, homeowners should not wait until the end of September to apply.
To date, PHFA has received 1,697 EHLP applications, and 854 of those applications meet the requirements of the program and have been approved. The value of the EHLP loans approved so far is $32 million. After Sept. 30, Pennsylvania loses access to any EHLP funding not committed to homeowners approved for the program.
HUD announced April 1 that Pennsylvania would receive $105 million through the EHLP to help homeowners in the state who are delinquent on their mortgages and in danger of foreclosure. Since that announcement, PHFA has been running an extensive statewide public outreach campaign to make homeowners aware of this foreclosure prevention program.

Atmosphere of Earth
Earth's atmosphere is the layer of gases around the Earth. The atmosphere is held in place by Earth's gravity. It is made up of nitrogen (78.1%) and oxygen (20.9%), with small amounts of argon (0.9%), carbon dioxide (~ 0.035%), water vapor, and other gases. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing (taking) ultraviolet rays from the sun. It makes our days cooler and our nights warmer.
Solid particulates, including ash, dust, volcanic ash, etc. are small parts of atmosphere. They are important in making clouds and fog.
The atmosphere does not end at a specific place. The higher above the Earth something is, the thinner the atmosphere around it is. There is no clear line between the atmosphere and outer space. 75% of the atmosphere is within 11 kilometres (6.8 miles) of the Earth's surface.
History of Earth's atmosphere
Originally, the Earth's atmosphere had almost no free oxygen. It gradually changed to what it is today, over a very long time (see Great Oxygenation Event). The process began with cyanobacteria. They were the first organisms to make free oxygen by photosynthesis. Most organisms today need oxygen for their metabolism; only a few can use other sources for respiration.[1][2]
Temperature and the atmospheric layers
Some parts of the atmosphere are hot or cold, depending on height. If something climbed straight up, it would get colder, but then it would get hotter as the object climbed higher. These changes of temperature are divided into layers. These are like layers of an onion. However, no difference can be seen between each layer. They are just places where the temperature changes differently.
These are the layers of the atmosphere, starting from the ground:
- Troposphere - Starts at the ground. Ends somewhere between 7 to 14 kilometres (4.3 to 8.7 miles). The higher, the colder. Weather in this layer affects our daily life.
- Stratosphere - Starts at 7 to 14 kilometres (4.3 to 8.7 miles). Ends at 50 kilometres (31 miles). The higher, the hotter. There is little water vapor and other substances in this layer. Airplanes fly in this layer because it is usually stable and air resistance is small.
- Mesosphere - Starts at 50 kilometres (31 miles). Ends at 80 or 85 kilometres (50 or 53 miles). The higher, the colder. Winds in this layer are strong, so the temperature is not stable.
- Thermosphere - Starts at 80 or 85 kilometres (50 or 53 miles). Ends at 640 kilometres (400 miles) or higher. The higher, the hotter. This layer is very important in radio communication because it helps to reflect AM radio waves.
Where one layer changes to the next have been named "-pauses." So the tropopause is where the troposphere ends (7 to 14 kilometres (4.3 to 8.7 miles) high). The stratopause is at the end of the stratosphere. The mesopause is at the end of the mesosphere. These are called boundaries.
The average temperature of the atmosphere at the surface of earth is 14 °C (57 °F).
The atmosphere has pressure. This is because even though air is a gas, it has weight. The average pressure of the atmosphere at sea level is about 101.4 kilopascals (14.71 psi).
Density and mass
The density of air at sea level is about 1.2 kilograms per cubic meter. This density becomes less at higher altitudes at the same rate that pressure becomes less. The total mass of the atmosphere is about 5.1 × 1018 kg, which is only a very small part of the Earth's total mass.

New Tools For Optimizing Operating Time of Mobile Wireless Devices
This seminar is for engineers responsible for design validation of next generation digital communications devices including 2.5/3G handsets, Wireless LAN, and Bluetooth® devices. This seminar will explore the challenges associated with measuring battery current consumption on digital communications devices. Each measurement challenge will be described and alternatives for making measurements will be discussed.
First and foremost, to accurately determine battery life requires accurate current sourcing and measurement. Sourcing and measurement challenges include: Sourcing high transient speed current pulses; Emulating battery resistance; Determining the effect of battery resistance on device performance; Making wide dynamic range current measurements.
Once you have the ability to accurately source and measure current, you need to log current over the long term and then analyze this huge quantity of data in a meaningful way. Challenges include: Configuring a system to data log current; Capturing rapid events while collecting hours, days or even weeks worth of data. To conclude, methods for determining battery life, based on various methods of analyzing these long-term current measurements, will be discussed. The Battery Drain Analyzer features of the Keysight 66319B/D and 66321B/D will be discussed as appropriate for this application.

PureDWTS New Valerie Harper UP Movie To Premiere In January, Health Update
Hey, for those interested, a new Valerie Harper movie called "The Town That Came A-Courtin'" will be premiering on the UP channel at 7:00pm on January 19th, 2014. If you'd like to read about it, see IMDB.com. You can also see a poster at this link.
Also, after Thanksgiving, People posted an interview with Tristan MacManus and Valerie Harper that was filmed after the finale of Dancing With The Stars. She gave an update on her health. I loved when she said, "What's to complain about?" Note too that she's planning to celebrate the holidays with her family and she's not planning to look back, but, only looking forward. Below is more. She's so amazing and so inspirational.
As she looks forward to celebrating the holidays with her family – something that she wasn't sure she'd live to see – Harper is savoring every day, telling PEOPLE, "I'm not looking back. I'm only looking forward."

There's an interesting discussion underway in the food blogging community today. Are food bloggers "faking it"? Is the surge of hundreds of thousands, actually more likely millions, of food blogs out there "dumbing down" the culinary industry?
You're reading this blog, and probably several others, so I'm going to guess you probably don't agree with either sentiment.
However, a food journalist put forth an opinion piece, "Faking It", on the IACP web site this week, that puts those ideas out there.
The premise is basically this: Major companies in the food industry are paying food bloggers to create recipes with their products, however, there are some food bloggers that do not test the recipes over and over, so therefore, the recipe/creation they put out to the world is an inferior product.
The writer also refers to many food bloggers as "hobbyists" or "stay-at-home-moms" with too much time on their hands.
Umm, do any of you actually know a stay-at-home-parent (because honestly people, there are stay-at-home-dads too, so get over your sexist stereotypes) that actually has "too much time on their hands"?
Also, isn't cooking about experimentation? It's about messing around with a recipe until it's where you want it to be? Does it have to be tested seven which ways to make it "publish-worthy" on the internet?
I don't think so.
Without food bloggers, you wouldn't have that perfect yellow cake recipe that came from someone's grandmother, instead of the dry, complex one that may have come out of the pages and test kitchens of some high-gloss food publications.
Food is NOT reserved for hoity-toity publications, that's where the culinary industry has gone wrong.
There is a place for high cuisine. I truly believe it's an art form and it's beautiful, and it should be left to the people who know how to make it happen with grace and style.
Most of the food bloggers I know or read, aren't aspiring to high-gloss covers, or high-cuisine. They're focusing on bringing good food back to the tables of whatever country they may be in. They're sharing time-tested family recipes, creations that worked in their kitchens, and information that has made cooking accessible again in their households.
Food blogging is not "dumbing down" the culinary industry. Instead, this movement is making cooking "real", "down-to-earth", and bringing people back into the fold of things like from-scratch baking, canning, and preserving.
You all know, I don't write this blog for money. I do get compensated from time to time for certain posts. This isn't my career, it's a love I have for food and sharing it with others. In the end, that's how almost all food blogs begin, with a love for cooking or baking.
Let's all celebrate that cooking and baking is making a comeback among the masses again, instead of tearing down the people that are working so hard to get it there.
Discuss amongst yourselves, while I offer up some nanaimo bars while you chat. Yes, they've been all over the internet already. No, they're not my own creation, but a mish-mash of other people's creations.
Honestly, I never even knew what they were until I first visited the man who would become my husband in Vancouver. His family had made them for years, and it was love at first bite. I now make them whenever possible. Enjoy.
Nanaimo Bars
Sources: City of Nanaimo and the Laura Secord Canadian Cookbook
Note - traditionally you add a 1/2 cup of chopped almonds or nuts to the bottom layer, I do not, feel free to add, however.
Bottom Layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 5 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (about one sleeve of full graham crackers)
- 1 cup shredded coconut
Second Layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons milk or cream (whatever you have is fine)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla custard or pudding powder (custard is traditional, but can be hard to find)
- 2 cups icing sugar
Third layer:
- 4 (1-oz) squares semi sweet chocolate
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Take an 8x8 square baking pan, line with parchment (or wax) paper, leaving plenty of overhang so you can lift the bars out of the pan later.
Bottom Layer:
Melt 1/2 cup butter, sugar, and cocoa in a double boiler.
Add egg and stir until mixture thickens (also making sure the egg doesn't cook either), then add vanilla extract.
Remove from heat and fold in crumbs, coconut (and nuts if using, see header above).
Press into your lined baking pan and place in fridge to cool while you make the second layer.
Second Layer:
Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream together 1/2 cup of butter, your milk, pudding powder, and icing sugar until light and fluffy.
Spread over the bottom layer of the bars and place back in the fridge.
Third Layer:
Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler until melted together.
Allow to cool a touch, but when it's still liquid, pour over other layers, and then place in the fridge to chill until the top layer is hardened.
Lift parchment out of baking pan, and cut into small squares and enjoy!

Days after a scandal erupted over a federal agency's lavish spending on parties, fancy dinners, resort suites and rented tuxes, a music video has emerged by one of the agency's employees, mocking the spending.
The video was made for an employee talent contest for the General Services Administration's 2010 conference in Las Vegas, reported The Washington Post.
A report earlier this week showed the agency had spent $820,000 on the four-day, 300-person event, which included a $95-per-person dinner, $7,000 in sushi, $3,200 for a mind reader, $5,600 for in-room parties and $2,800 in water bottles, the Associated Press reported.
The spending, done at the height of the recession, prompted the resignation of a senior agency official and dismissal of two deputies. The GSA is a large agency that oversees office space and supplies and management duties.
The video, which surfaced Thursday, added more fuel to the scandal. It shows a GSA worker from Hawaii strumming a ukelele to the tune of Travie McCoy & Bruno Mars's "Billionaire."
"Donate my vacation, love to the nation, I'll never be under OIG investigation," the employee then raps.
The video won the GSA's talent contest and was showcased at the agency's awards ceremony at the Las Vegas conference, the Post reported.

First impressions count.
We all wonder how others perceive us, based on how we look or what we wear. Split-second judgments often shape our interactions with one another.
Do you appear more intelligent if you wear glasses? Do those popped collars make you look like the life of the party? How might people judge you if your hair is dyed purple?

text: Illegal immigration, especially in the United States, is a "caustic" subject. Many have raised their voices to enthusiastically condemn illegal immigration, while others defend it just as enthusiastically. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears have been shed on this battleground, since those on both sides are ready to use any available philosophical, psychological, and sometimes physical weapon to defend their viewpoints. The battle is further complicated by politicians, with their divided loyalties and policies. Even religion has been drawn into the fray, to the point that supporters of both sides of the issue seek to justify their positions based on their beliefs. The Lord's church has also been affected. What should the church do? What is the biblical approach to the problem of illegal immigration?

What is a tax depreciation estimate?
A tax depreciation estimate helps to outline likely deductions for any type of residential or commercial property including both capital works deductions for the structure of the building and plant and equipment deductions for the assets contained within it.
A tax depreciation estimate can be very useful for property investors and can:
- Help to inform them before purchase of a property about the likely deductions available.
- Assist after purchase to identify likely deductions available before obtaining a depreciation schedule for use with tax returns.
Kylie, Bruce ACT
How do I organise an estimate?
At BMT, we provide a range of options to help you work out the likely depreciation deductions for your investment property.

As Godiva expanded its global footprint from elegant boutiques to grocery stores, it wanted to build a consistent premium look and feel across all channels, and leverage the brand's unique role in giving and creating enduring memories.
Our Cultural Insight team drew up distinct cultural territories, which served as positioning springboards and provided a perspective on which luxury cues to dial up and the emerging signals that would disrupt the category.
Through tracking what chocolate lovers desire across the US and Japan, we uncovered which retail channels posed the greatest opportunity, the roles different chocolates have in fulfilling different needs and which products pose the highest potential for Godiva's innovation strategy.prev next

In Resto Shop we give first-gens a lot of ink. This month we're giving third-gens some love. We've had a few readers requesting information on the stamped tag on later third-gens. The tag is located on the radiator support structure of the body and has six digits stamped in it. On '85- 86 Camaros the tag is located on the passenger side of the support and on '87- 92 Camaros the tag is near the center of the support, under the intake plenum. The '82- 84 Camaros have a completely different tag format.
We love to research details like these tags, so we inquired with our many sources but came up empty-handed. There were plenty of guesses and assumptions, but that wasn't good enough.
Our hunch was that the tag contained the body/unit production number, which was used to determine the order in which the Camaros were built as they travelled down the assembly line. As a side note, the VIN is not used to identify the order in which the Camaros were built.
The only way to confirm our theory was to find a third-gen Camaro with an original broadcast sheet. This new search led us to two very cool '92 Camaros.
The first Camaro found with an accompanying broadcast sheet was Leonard Stevenson's '92 Z28. His Z28 happens to be the last Camaro built at the Van Nuys, California, plant before it was shut down after 45 years of vehicle production. You can see more than 100 photos Leonard took during his three days at the plant as he followed his Z28 down the assembly line. You can see the photos at www.last1992camaro.com.
If you ever wanted to restore a '92 Camaro to exact factory condition, his site would be all the research material you'd need. We wish there was the same information available for first- and second-gen Camaros. Leonard's car still has less than 200 miles on the odometer. He was nice enough to pull the intake snorkel off to check his tag number against the D.P. Number (097825) and the last six digits of the Schedule/Job number (0097825) on his broadcast sheet. They matched!
The second '92 Camaro we found is a low-mile, well-documented and optioned '92 Z28 owned by Chris Dundon. He originally purchased the car to tear it apart and turn it into a Pro Touring monster with a supercharged LS engine, six-speed, and Corvette IRS, but he hasn't had the heart to modify it. In fact, he's going to sell it and start with a less perfect third-gen. Chris says that it still has the original tires! Could you tear apart a car of this caliber? He checked the tag numbers (079531) against his broadcast sheet and they matched!
Now we need to figure out the breakdown of the numbers and what they designate. The Firebirds came down the same line and have the same number format on their tags. Did the Camaros have their own body number system to designate the build order on the line, or did the Firebirds share the same number system? The journey continues…
If you can help, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

It has been about 3 or 4 years since I've stopped watching TV. Why did I stop watching TV? The reason is quite simple; a lot of the things that I see on TV are affecting me negatively.
Whether we admit it or not, what we see or hear or read affects us. It may have an effect on us mentally, psychologically, or emotionally. But the truth is it affects our chi or aura also, and being exposed to a lot of negative things on TV, even the one that are supposedly or allegedly funny will definitely affect us.
I still watch movies, and I do read a lot, but we have more control on what type of movies we watch, or books that we read. It is not as easy as to get 'hypnotized' to continue watching or reading, as it is on TV.
This has never been more apparent than with a former colleague. She would regularly talk to us about the dramas she watches on TV, and then I also notice that she would regularly complain about the drama that is happening in her life. When she found out that I studied Feng Shui she asked me what she should do to improve her life.
For some reason, I just thought that I should tell her to stop watching drama and horror movies, and any other seemingly harmless shows but affects us more than we realized. Surprisingly she heeded my advice and months later she told me that her life has greatly improved.

Bed bug heat treatment white paper
Read a white paper about heat treatment for bed bugs.
Call us for a free quote at 1-800-837-5520
Are you concerned you may have bed bugs? You can rely on Rentokil for bed bug treatment services that eradicate bed bugs quickly.
Our treatments range from conventional solutions to K-9 bed bug inspections to state-of-the-art heat treatments. Your technician will recommend different treatment services depending on the specifics of the infestation.
We recommend that you hire a professional pest control company at the earliest sign of bed bugs. Bed bugs spread fast - each mature female bed bug can lay as many as 500 eggs in their short lifetime.
Your Rentokil technician will be able to review and recommend multiple solutions that are available to bring your bed bug problem under control.
We take a sensitive and sympathetic approach recognizing how emotional and stressful a bed bug infestation may be.
Our use of trained bed bug dogs, will help to accurately detect and locate the presence of bed bugs. This will enable us to provide targeted solutions to identified bed bug hotspots.
This environmentally-friendly process has now been adopted in the industry for bed bug control. Heat treatment is widely regarded as one of the most effective solutions for bed bugs.
Portable heaters, either electric or propane-fired, are used to gradually heat the ambient air within rooms to above 120º F while monitoring with strategically placed temperature sensors and infrared thermometers.
This high temperature is then held for 1 ½ to 3 hours or more depending on the level of infestation, and relative level of clutter in the treated rooms.
Heat treatment is a low risk option for customers (and their pets), and the environment due to the minimal use of pesticides.
The service can be completed in just one day rather than over the course of a few weeks, and it's effective against all life stages of a bed bug.
Contact your local Rentokil office at 1-800-837-5520 to find out more, as heat treatment is not offered in every service area.
Conventional treatments consisting of insecticides remains our primary and most turned to approach for handling bed bugs.
Several insecticide formulations, including liquids, dusts and aerosols, are typically required for a thorough bed bug service due in part to the varying types of surfaces, materials and situations encountered.
Dusts are an excellent tool to use when treating for bed bugs. These formulations tend to last longer than their liquid counterparts and can be easily applied into voids where liquids may not reach or should not be applied.
Aerosols are also convenient tools, especially when fitted with a crack and crevice tip, allowing direct application into cracks and crevices where bed bugs like to hide.
Vacuuming will be able to remove large portions of a bed bug population from areas where they are visible
Treatment will usually begin at the focal point of the infestation, which is generally the bed in an infested room.
This will be followed by careful treatment of all items in the vicinity, including baseboards, floor/wall junctions, tack strips under carpets, behind electrical outlets and switches, cracks in walls and floors, items hanging on walls and relevant structural voids.
High temperatures are lethal to most insects provided they cannot quickly escape to a cooler location. The temperatures produced by portable steam units are more than sufficient to kill bed bugs and their eggs upon contact.
Steaming allows us to treat all surfaces of mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture, which are often restricted with insecticides.
Steaming tends to get bed bugs to move out of deeper recesses as the temperature begins to rise, making them more likely to expose themselves or cross any applied insecticide.
Using steam treatment, means there is less need for applying pesticides.
Steam may NOT be appropriate for treating all surfaces due to the moisture that is produced.
While not our first choice, bed bug fumigation is also an option in a few select situations.
Fumigation uses materials in a gaseous state, which can penetrate all items placed within a fumigation space and is able to kill all stages of bed bugs present during the exposure period.
Freezing is also an option for eliminating bed bugs from some items which can not be treated conventionally
As a homeowner, you can action this solution by using your home freezer.
Enclose infested items in plastic bags and freeze them for about a week.
A chest type freezer will allow you to freeze larger items too.
While freezing is reported to be effective against nymphs and adults, eggs appear to be more tolerant of cold temperatures and must be exposed for at least 30 days before they become non-viable.
At Rentokil, we ensure that there is a follow-up with every customer.
Our current standard practice is for at least 2 follow-up visits after the initial corrective service, to include inspection and treatment as needed.
We provide this service to ensure that we have effectively resolved your bed bug problem.
Interested in our bed bug treatments? Call Rentokil at 1-800-837-5520 to schedule your bed bug inspection today.

Also, make sure to check out our product descriptions, as they contain specific details about the fit and material of each item! If you still have questions about that flirty little dress that you just can't live without, drop us a line at email@example.com and we will try to provide you with any information you may need to make your decision!
For General Sizing, please see the chart below:

Casey Anthony found competent, trial resumes (video)
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- A judge ruled Monday that Casey Anthony is competent to remain on trial for murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter after her own lawyers questioned her mental health.
Anthony's attorneys filed a motion Saturday asking for a review of her mental competency. The motion halted what had been expected to be a full day of testimony by witnesses. After meeting with attorneys, Judge Belvin Perry told courtroom attorneys and spectators that a "legal matter" had come up that would delay testimony.
Anthony was examined by three psychologists over the weekend. After reading their reports, Perry ruled Monday the trial should continue.
"Based upon the reports that the court has reviewed, the court will find that the defendant is competent to proceed," Perry said at the start of Monday's hearing, the 29th day of testimony.
Anthony has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and could face the death penalty if convicted of that charge. Her defense attorneys claim her daughter Caylee Anthony accidentally drowned in the family's swimming pool. Defense attorneys also contend that Anthony and her father, George, covered up the accident.
George Anthony has denied any such theory.
Detective Yuri Melich of the Orange County Sheriff's Office was the first witness to take the stand Monday.
Under questioning from Anthony's attorney, he conceded that he had never examined George Anthony's cell phone records and that a cadaver dog never sniffed out cars driven by George Anthony and his wife, Cindy.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - After years in the shadows as a reluctant heir-apparent, India's Rahul Gandhi is set for his own tryst with destiny, to lead the ruling Congress party in elections due by May that it has only a slim chance of winning.
Congress, in power for the last decade, is struggling in opinion polls with a string of corruption scandals and a reputation for poor governance engulfing its administration. A resurgent opposition and a neophyte anti-corruption party appear to have a stranglehold on public opinion.
Congress's response is likely to be to bring the 43-year-old heir of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty to the forefront, in the hope that the charisma of the family can still bring in votes.
It holds a meeting on Friday where delegates are likely to formally choose Gandhi to lead the party in the election, although his mother, Sonia, is expected to remain the Congress chief.
Gandhi has much to prove but aides say he has thrust himself into the centre of the campaign, launching a series of moves to clean up the 128-year-old Congress party and stem the slide in its fortunes. They say he has asked for the right to name at least 100 of the party candidates to the 543-member parliament and that he will ditch many of the old guard powerbrokers who have given Congress a bad reputation.
"There are certain changes Mr. Gandhi has been wanting to do, they may come through. Changes whether dramatic or subtle, I don't know what you would call them, (but) they will be substantial," Sachin Pilot, corporate affairs minister and one of the stars in Gandhi's political team, told Reuters.
Critics say Gandhi has depended on his family name for power, that he is too lightweight and has barely registered his presence in parliament although he has been a member for the last decade.
"In a structured party, Mr. Rahul Gandhi would still have been struggling to get his first assignment as an office-bearer in the party structure or in a legislative body," said Arun Jaitley, a senior leader of the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
"It is only in a personality and family-dominated set-up like the Congress that he can be nominated as the unquestioned supremo."
For decades after Jawaharlal Nehru, Rahul's great-grandfather, delivered his stirring "tryst with destiny" speech on the eve of independence from Britain 67 years ago, the Gandhi family has dominated politics in the world's biggest democracy.
The succession of prime ministers and Congress party leaders from the family echoed the right to rule of an English monarchy. And the assassinations of Nehru's daughter Indira Gandhi when she was prime minister in 1984 and her son Rajiv as he campaigned for elections in 1991 brought an air of tragic glamour akin to that of America's Kennedy clan. Rahul is the son of Rajiv Gandhi.
He is a vice-president of Congress and was in charge of the party's campaign in state elections in 2013, in which it fared disastrously.
The Hindu nationalist BJP won three of five state assembly contests and its flag-bearer, Narendra Modi, remains the front-runner by a distance, campaigning on a platform of decisive leadership to revive economic growth that under the Congress fell to its slowest pace in a decade.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh conceded that the government had failed to generate employment in manufacturing, to control inflation and combat corruption. He said he would not be a candidate to retain his post after the election and strongly suggested that the reins be handed over to Gandhi.
"Rahul Gandhi has outstanding credentials to be nominated as the ... candidate and I hope our party will take that decision at an appropriate time," Singh said.
Gandhi has in recent months tried to style himself as a maverick and make clear he condemns corruption. In September, he denounced an executive order from the government allowing convicted lawmakers to stay in office and stand in elections.
But the new Aam Aadmi (Common Man's) Party (AAP), which formed the government in Delhi state after local elections last month, appears to have the lock on the anti-corruption and clean governance platform.
Hundreds of people from students to business executives are flocking to the party, inspired by its promise to clean up politics and the symbols of power that ordinary Indians have come to detest.
"The impact of AAP is there, their messaging has been brilliant. The issues that they are agitating about - simplicity in politics, austerity in politics, these are legitimate values," said Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh, who is involved in formulating Congress strategy.
"Every establishment party is going to hurt."
In a symbolic move this week, Gandhi ditched the party corporate jet and travelled on a campaign tour by a budget airline.
At the airport, barely 20 people greeted him, in line with his instructions, a change from the usual sea of fawning partymen brought in by the busload to drape him in garlands.
But old Congress hands say it's hard to bring change in a party that has ruled for nearly 55 out of 67 years since India gained independence.
Tech entrepreneur R. K. Misra, who was tapped by Gandhi to work on a membership drive in the youth wing of the Congress, said Gandhi had struggled to revamp the gargantuan party because other leaders did not share his beliefs.
Gandhi's lack of proven success in elections was a hindrance, said Misra said, who is no longer with Congress.
"His desire to change things was there from the beginning," Misra said, recalling that Gandhi told him the reason he was starting with the youth wing was because he couldn't challenge the heavyweights in the main organisation.
Now, with the party fighting with its back to the wall, Gandhi may have a chance. "He can say 'Now you let me run the battle the way I want.' He's going to retire the old generals," said Misra.

There have been gamers who've hacked games to ask their special someone to take the plunge, but how many game studios have decided to lend a hand in popping the question?
Q-Games is the Kyoto-based studio behind a whole host of wonderful titles, such as the PixelJunk series. It doesn't only make video games, it also helps people get married.
Gamer Russ and his ladyfriend Jaclyn love playing PixelJunk Monsters together. Russ wanted to ask Jaclyn to marry him, but he wanted it to be special. So he asked Q Games for help.
Q-Games created a video of a mock PixelJunk Monsters level. "Russ installed this video on his PS3, he subtly suggested they should sit down for some Monsters couch co-op, and he pretended to boot up the game by 'playing along' with the video," Q-Games Assistant Producer Ariel Angelotti told Kotaku. "Jaclyn didn't have any idea it was a movie she was watching and not the normal PixelJunk Monsters game."
Talk about going above and beyond! Jaclyn said yes, and now Russ and his new bride are headed towards co-op marriage bliss. Congrats to them.
Q-Games even told Kotaku that it would be more than willing to send along this video to those who want to use it to propose to their squeeze. Remember getting married is like a video game, and Q-Games takes no responsibility for your inability to get to the next level.

The town of Zeitz is associated with Martin Luther's successors. Indeed, Luther's male descendants all left their mark on the town. In 1542 Luther ordained Nicolaus von Amsdorf as the first Protestant bishop at the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul in Zeitz.
There is much to delight today's visitors to Worms, from the Romanesque imperial cathedral to the multimedia exhibition at the Nibelung Museum. For Martin Luther however, this historical town on the Rhine held far less pleasant associations.
Weimar was a centre for German intellectual life long before Goethe and Schiller's day. Indeed, Martin Luther was much taken with the town on the river Ilm.
Martin Luther declared that the buildings in Torgau were more beautiful than any from ancient times. That is still true today. With five hundred Renaissance and late-Gothic buildings, Torgau in Saxony is an architectural gem of international standing.
Speyer is a UNESCO World Heritage town thanks to its cathedral, the largest surviving Romanesque church in Europe. But it is also regarded as the birthplace of the Protestant faith because of the Protestation at Speyer of 1529.
Sonneberg, the historical toy town in the Thuringian Forest nature reserve, is ideal for walking and cycling in glorious unspoilt surroundings. Follow in Luther's footsteps through the Thuringian Forest and discover the legend of the Luther House in Sonneberg!
The romantic medieval town of Schmalkalden in Thuringia has a important place in 16th century European history. In 1531 Protestant princes and representatives of free imperial cities met here to join forces against the Catholic emperor, Charles V.
Pirna, not far from Dresden , is the birthplace of the indulgence preacher and inquisitor Johann Tetzel. Tetzel's actions caused Luther to nail his 95 theses to the door of the castle church and is thus considered a key figure in Reformation.

White Sox lack big hit in one- or two-run games
BALTIMORE -- One of the most frustrating aspects of the White Sox season is they simply have not been able to come up with enough big hits when a victory is within reach.
Chicago is just 32-48 in games decided by one or two runs. After Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Orioles, 107 of Chicago's 139 games (77 percent) have been decided by three runs or fewer.
"We've been scoring some runs of late," first baseman Paul Konerko said. "We usually play hard for nine innings. We try not to think about how other games have gone. But the end result, you can lump it in with the rest of them."
Chicago manager Robin Ventura said all of the team's losses this year have been frustrating, regardless of the score.
"If guys were not continuing to put out effort, than that would be a problem," Ventura said. "But that is not what it is. We're just losing games. We're making one mistake in an inning that can cost you the game."

Q: According to reports, the US side is planning to propose probably later today a 25% tariff on Chinese-made goods worth of $200 billion. This is an increase from previous proposal for 10% tariff on these goods. What is your response to this? Could you also tell us that has there been recently any communication between China and the US about the trade issue, specifically, about how to ease the trade tensions between the two countries?
A: China's position on the China-US trade issue is very firm and clear-cut and remains unchanged. The pressuring or blackmail by the United States will never work. If the US side takes steps to further escalate the situation, we will definitely take countermeasures to resolutely safeguard our legitimate and legal rights and interests.
As to the communication or dialogue between China and the United States, I want to tell you China always believes that the trade frictions between China and the US should be resolved through dialogue and consultation. The international community knows fully well our sincerity and the efforts we have made in this regard. Meanwhile, I would like to stress that dialogue must be based on mutual respect, equality, rules and credibility. Coercing and pressuring others unilaterally will only be counterproductive.
Q: What is China's response to the request by Australia's Foreign Minister Julie Bishop to visit China? Do you expect Foreign Minister Julie Bishop to visit China this year? Does the apparent delay in China's responding to this request represent the tensions in the current bilateral relations between China and Australia?
A: The communication and exchanges between China and Australia are always smooth. I want to stress that a sound and steady China-Australia relationship serves the fundamental interests of our two countries and two peoples. We hope that Australia can work with China on the basis of mutual respect and treating each other as equals to better enhance our mutual trust and cooperation, so as to create enabling conditions and atmosphere for our practical cooperation in various areas and ensure that the China-Australia relations can move forward along the right track.
Q: According to reports, the US side said yesterday that China may be getting in their way on resolving the DPRK issue. Do you have any comment on this?
A: China's position on the Korean Peninsula issue is well known to you all, so I will not repeat it here.
For a long time, China has made unremitting efforts to promote the political settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue, which has been universally acknowledged by the international community. In fact, China and the United States have always maintained close communication and coordination on the Korean Peninsula issue.
We hope that all relevant parties can work with China to seize the opportunity presented by the current detente on the Korean Peninsula and meet each other half-way so as to realize the political settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue and achieve the denuclearization of the Peninsula at an early date.

I know...
He says stupid sh-t and does stupid sh-t and he's isn't always the best example but I'm not calling him a role model, I'm just saying he's hot and T.I. has been sentenced to prison for a year and a day on illegal weapons charges although he says if you don't understand his situation – not to be confused with his Situation – don't judge him for trying to buy a machine gun.
We love to judge. Machine guns are bad.
And this is why he'll be locked up for 366 days. Away from His Situation. T.I. has 30-60 days to report to jail.
For now then, let's enjoy. 366 days is a long time. A lot could happen in 366 days. He might come out and we'll stop caring...
Machine guns are bad, see?
I can never get this song out of my head.

After about a year of discussion, procrastination, and a some actual work, the GNUComm design overview is up on the website. Check it out at http://www.gnu.org/software/gnucomm/gnucomm.html
We are at v0.0.1, so there is a lot of speculative, naive, and otherwise unsafe assumptions that need to be weeded out, but I think the overall idea is pretty cool.

This time change is kicking my butt because Alaia thinks it's party time until midnight. The other night she was dancing to Michael Jackson while I was trying to sleep. She has started to grab at things and flip all the way out when she can't grab something she wants. Yesterday we were on my bed and she was hanging off the side trying to grab my lamp. When I stopped her she grabbed my glass and threw it on the floor. She better calm her little 6 months self all the way down.
My old job contacted me to see if I would be interested in working part time. I told him yes, so he's going to give his boss my information and we'll see where it goes from there. It would be computer work from home which is very easy for me to do. I've been trying to figure out what I want to do this summer. Most of the other teachers are working at camps and such, but I really don't want to do that. During the summer is busy season for my old job, so hopefully this will work out where I can just work for them.
We finally got all our medial bills and credit card bills (which was all medical and car stuff) paid off and it is such a weight off of me. I've mentioned before that last year was super rough financially, but we are finally back on track.
I've had a blog on marriage that I've wanted to type up for weeks but every time I try and type folks start talking and I can't concentrate. Currently there's a student in my ear yapping about absolutely nothing. I sure wish she would hush. Are you reading this girl? Hush up!
I also have a blog on disciplining children I need to type up. The past few weeks I started noticing some undesirable traits in Judah so I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to correct the behavior. It came down to changing the way MrC and I talk to him. Lately we've spent so much time fussing and barking orders at him and we've got to chill out. Of course we want an obedient child, but I have to remember we're teaching children not training animals. I've softened my tone and even remembered to use please and thank you again.
My book club just finished reading Harry Potter. Mannnnnn, it was so good. I was glued to those books for 2 weeks. Next week I start on The Chronicles of Narnia.

West Beverly High School is having a mini-reunion, sponsored by Old Navy.
The comfort clothing retailer has recruited cast members from the original Beverly Hills, 90210 to appear in new ads — and offer winking nods to their teenage alter egos.
One of the ads features Gabrielle Carteris, who played Andrea Zuckerman, as a teacher, still harboring a crush on her now-colleague Brandon Walsh (Jason Priestley).
In another, Jennie Garth, who played perpetually lovelorn Kelly Taylor, laments having to choose among different styles of jeans — and between Priestley and Luke Perry — who formed the Brandon-Kelly-Dylan love triangle that was a staple of the series.
Garth hinted at the reunion on Twitter last month, posting a photo of her and Perry getting cozy, with the caption "stay tuned... "
"The choice is yours," Perry deadpans in the ad, atop a motorcycle.
"So what's it gonna be?" Priestley, holding a stuffed teddy bear, asks.
Watch the video below to see how Kelly responds!
