Gaga, ooh la la, you're on the cover of "Vogue"!
The icy blond diva, known for her outlandish fashion sense and pop-meets-techno songs, is covering the March issue of "Vogue," which was recently leaked, MTV reports.
The cover shows Gaga in a bobbed bubblegum pink wig (what is it with celebrities and brightly-colored wigs these days?), in a beautiful draping Grecian-inspired dress.
This is the singer's first "Vogue" cover, and Gaga (born Stefani Germanotta) seems to be taking the high honor appropriately. "They used to call me rabbit teeth in school, and now I'm a real live VOUGE BEAUTY QUEEN!" Gaga tweeted, along with a photo of her cover.
Gaga is slated to perform her new single, "Born This Way," at the Grammys on February 13th.
U.S. & World
She gave fans a bit of a preview of what to expect via Twitter earlier this week, tweeting "So many nights I've wept, too many thoughts to say. But now it's less than 12 days left, till I was Born This Way. X Mother Monster."

Blue Jays plan to give recalled Rowdy Tellez plenty of opportunity
It's Rowdy time – again.
With the Blue Jays' latest recall of powerful first baseman Rowdy Tellez on Tuesday, you get the sense that there could well be more on the line than during his previous stops in the big-league clubhouse.
For the strapping California native, the final month and a half of the season could emerge as a crucial audition to prove definitively that he can hit and stick at this level and cement himself as an essential component of the young team's promising future.
After sending him down to triple-A Buffalo on July 13 to recalibrate, the Jays are clearly hoping that a month in the minors will help Tellez bring some consistency to that power and that he'll join his young pals and emerge as the Jays first baseman of the future.
To that end, manager Charlie Montoyo acknowledged prior to Tuesday's game that Tellez will be given every opportunity to prove just that. When it comes to playing-time distribution down the stretch, Tellez is expected to get more opportunity than veteran Justin Smoak.
"Rowdy is probably going to play more than Smoak," Montoyo said of the first-base distribution between the young prospect and one of the few veterans remaining in the clubhouse now that Freddy Galvis is a Cincinnati Red. "I want to see Rowdy. I want to see what kind of adjustment he's made. We need to find out. He's going to get enough at-bats now that he's back because he's another guy we have to find out about."
It's not atypical for a veteran to lose opportunities late in the season, especially when September callup time comes and the team is nowhere near a playoff race. And in Smoak's case, given that he was shopped at the July 31 trade deadline, there's a strong likelihood he doesn't return next year, anyway.
This will be more than a September callup for Tellez, however, as he gets a two-plus weeks head start and there is arguably more on the line. Besides what was ailing him at the plate – more often than not chasing too many bad pitches was the culprit – Tellez could lug around a sour disposition, especially if things weren't going well.
But by all accounts, the 24-year-old went about his business in Buffalo in a professional and productive manner and has returned with a fresh mind and a straighter stance at the plate, which he believes has helped get his swing back on track "I wouldn't say I was surprised, but I definitely wasn't playing up to what I was supposed to," Tellez said when if the July demotion caught him off guard. "They had to do what they needed to help the team win and that was an option they had to make.
"I accepted it and went down there with the positive mindset and the mindset that I had to improve on what I was doing to get back here."
Under the stewardship of Bisons manager Bobby Meacham and hitting coach Corey Hart, Tellez did just that. In his 26-game farm assignment, Tellez hit .366 (24-for-93) with nine doubles, seven home runs and 21 RBI. He returns to the big leagues with 14 homers on his stats line, which at one point in the season had him a share of the team lead.
While in Buffalo, there was an emphasis for Tellez to simplify his approach at the plate and stop chasing bad pitches, particularly the high fastball that major league pitchers were getting the best of him with.
"I was trying to minimize the strike zone as much as I can to get into hitters counts and force the pitcher to come to me rather than chase," Tellez said. "I felt like I was back to normal. I was searching the last month up here when I got down there, I figured out where I needed to be. They really got me back on track. I'm grateful to those guys.
He's also keen to return to the show, see what the fuss is all about with his young teammates and join in on the fun. If you're young and well thought of by the organization, this is a good time to be a Blue Jay, after all.
"It's pretty cool," said Tellez, who was forced to watch from afar as Bo Bichette made his spectacular big-league debut and had plenty of company from the young core that is actually making waves around the baseball world. "I'm excited to get in this clubhouse and see how it goes. We've got a lot of young guys here, a good core group.
"I'm just going to do my best to fit in and keep this going. I'm excited to be here."
To make room for Tellez on the 23-man roster, relief pitcher Brock Stewart was sent down to Buffalo. Stewart is a young arm who had a couple of decent outings but has options, which of course made him an easy candidate to board the shuttle.
As for Rowdy, he returns to the big leagues with a .227 batting average and with what appears to be a determination to show his bosses who the first baseman of both the present and future should be.
"What do I want to see?," Montoyo said when asked just that on Tuesday. "Him hitting bombs. I want him to see something better than what he was doing. Getting better at-bats, better approach at the plate. Working hard on his defence. When he went down (to triple A) he worked hard. That's what we want to see here."

Parents and real families are a powerful voice for children and child care. Many of our parent and family advocates have participated at past Symposiums, sharing their stories with Members of Congress and strengthening their advocacy skills through workshops and training. This year we decided to do things a little differently and hold another kind of event, separate from Symposium, fully focused on families and amplifying their messages. If you weren't able to participate, here's a quick run-down of the two-day Summit.
Parents and quality child care advocates from all across the country landed in Washington D.C. as early as Sunday for the first-ever Family Advocacy Summit. Monday morning kicked off with an advocacy training presented by Jennifer Greppi, Efuru Lynch and Michelle Garcilazo of Parent Voices of California. Advocacy leaders Efuru and Michelle spoke to fellow family advocates on developing brief but powerful personal testimonies.
Here's a quick rundown of their surefire tips for capturing the attention of policymakers:
- Start with the basics. State your name, the state you're from, and what groups you are connected to (i.e. I am Jane Doe, a family advocate and member of Child Care Aware® of America/Parent Voices/etc. from Virginia).
- Follow with why you took the time to reach out to them. Paint a clear picture of the issue you want addressed and how it is affecting you and those in your community or state (i.e. I am here because last May, I was forced to leave my job because I had no access to quality, affordable child care…)
- Finally, leave the policymaker with a call to action. Tell them what they can do to help solve the issues you're facing (i.e. reauthorize the Child Care and Development Block Grant this November).
Efuru and Michelle also reminded family advocates to share their plans for following up, especially if the meeting is with policymaker staff rather than the elected official. By letting staff know when to expect your call or email, it gives them a deadline for regrouping with his or policymaker to gather his response to your message.
After the first workshop ended, parents Avonda Fox, from Texas, Vicky Dougherty from Pennsylvania, and Elly Lafkin, of Virginia shared their own compelling and inspiring child care experiences with the group during a panel discussion. Avonda talked about her efforts to pass Jacob's Law on behalf of her son, who died from heatstroke after his caregiver left him in a van for an unknown period of time in 103 degree temperatures. Vicky, who lost her son Warren when he was placed to sleep in a faulty crib, discussed her grassroots advocacy for the licensing and inspections of all child care providers. And Elly, an experienced campaigner for comprehensive background checks, discussed her experiences working with press and the media to gain exposure on the tragic and preventable death of her daughter Camden. Elly and her husband helped pass Cami's Law in 2013, after their daughter died in the home of a provider who used five different aliases to hide a criminal history. All three of these women demonstrated their courage and conviction by sharing their tragedy and committing to taking powerful action toward change.
Staffers from U.S. Representative George Miller (D-CA) and Senator Barbara Mikulski's (D-MD) offices joined the group for lunch. Both talked hopefully about the passage of the Child Care and Development Block Grant when Congress returns from recess in November, and shared updates on what their respective officials were doing to support quality child care and early learning.
In the afternoon, parents gathered for a facilitated discussion around building a national policy agenda that would reflect child care and early learning issues facing parents from all walks of life. Health, safety, access and quality were key themes of the conversation. The parents also came up with solutions and advice they would give to all working families grappling with finding and affording quality child care. The discourse was thoughtful and eye-opening and left us energized as we concluded the day with preparation meetings for the following day on the Hill.
The next morning, over sixteen family advocates from eight different states boarded a bus with Child Care Aware® of America staff and travelled just over the Arlington Country line into D.C. The advocates separated into small groups as we all arrived at Capitol Hill and the families dispersed for their respective meetings with Congressional staff. As each group returned, they recounted their stories on camera and to each other. Together the families celebrated an overwhelming feeling of progress as a result of sharing their voice.
The Family Advocacy Summit attendees returned to Arlington for lunch with the former Child Care Aware® of America executive director and current Deputy Assistant Secretary and Inter-Departmental Liaison for Early Childhood Development for the Administration for Children and Families. The conversation ranged from the progress the Administration has made on issues related to children and families, to how our parent group could be an action task force for child care across this nation.
The Family Advocacy Summit was an incredible success and left both our family advocates and Child Care Aware® of America staff with renewed energy to work toward solving the complex issues with our current child care system. Our first hurdle is just around the corner, as we continue to push for the reauthorization of the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) when Congress returns from recess in November. We know one thing for sure, without our exceptional family advocates we would not be on the brink of celebrating such a win for millions of children and families across this nation.
We hope that those of you who were unable to attend the Summit will be inspired by the work and dedication of these families to take action in your own way and help us in the campaign to strengthen the quality of child care for working families in every state.
We look forward to sharing important updates on CCDBG in November, and in the meantime, ask you to keep your advocacy efforts going. Child Care Aware® of America will continue to share ways for you to raise the volume on child care and early learning issues. Be sure to bookmark usa.childcareaware.org and watch for video clips from the Summit coming soon, including videos of our families telling their story on Capitol Hill.

Functional Neuroimaging of Reward and Motivation Deficits in Schizophrenia (DAY2
This study aims to better understand the reward and motivation system of the brain and how brain activity can change in people with schizophrenia. We are actively recruiting first-degree family members of individuals with schizophrenia; we aim to compare our results from these family members to healthy controls and individuals with schizophrenia who have already completed our study. Participants should be between the ages of 18-60.
The study involves two visits. Participants will receive $80 for their time and effort on the first visit, and $45 on the second visit. Additionally, participants have a chance to win up to $120 in addition to the $45 on the second visit from the games they will play. Each study visit takes 4-6 hours to complete.
The first visit involves clinical interviews as well as self-report questionnaires asking about the participant's feelings, emotions, and behaviors. Participants will also complete computerized tasks that include memory and puzzle-like problems, and they will have a small blood sample drawn.
On the second visit, participants will complete a one-hour MRI scan, during which they will play games that will allow them the chance to win money. The second visit also involves additional interview questions. Lastly, participants will play some gambling-like games on the computer, which will give them another chance to win money.

Old Trail welcomes eateries
Old Trail Village in Crozet is welcoming a trio of eateries to the new commercial center, as Trailside Coffee, which is already open, will soon be joined by da Luca Cafe' and Wine Bar, and Anna's Ristorante Italiano and Pizza, (the latter a not-so-distant relative of Maury Avenue's Anna's Pizza #5, which is being opened by the daughter and son-in-law of Anna's owner Maria Buzzetta.)
Dish caught up with the owner of da Luca Cafe', Domenico D'Auria, an Italian-born home builder who wears a tool belt and a cooking apron. In fact, D'Auria built several of the homes at Old Trail before deciding to get into the restaurant biz.
D'Auria, who grew up in Naples, Italy, says that having commercial areas in close proximity to where you live is common in Italy. "It was very friendly and efficient," he says. "Community is very important to my family and me."
Whether or not Old Trail will become a full-blown community–- these three places are true trail-blazers, as they are seriously out-numbered by the un-leased and unsold places around them–- remains to be seen, but D'Auria's enthusiasm is certainly good PR.
"I am truly drawn to the concept behind Old Trail Village and wish for it to prosper," he says. I am from Italy, so I have a love of architecture and design, food and wine and–- most importantly–- building relationships with those in my community."

Well, it is only the 3rd of the month, but October is shaping up to be busy, busy, BUSY!
October 3: International Walk to School Day
Did you know that today is International Walk to School Day? I didn't either until my super awesome friend, Jil Littlejohn, who happens to be Greenville City Councilwoman, filled me in! Over the last several weeks, I have been coaching Jil to race her first 5k at the end of this month. We are currently in Week 5 of her 8-week training. Normally we run at Cleveland Park, near downtown Greenville, but today we ventured over to Nichol Town Green. The new route brought on lots of twists and turns and steep hills! After the run, we went over to the playground area where all of the children were gathering before heading off to school. Jil put on her City Councilwoman hat and helped present a check for $39,474 to the neighborhood. The money will go to making improvements to the trail so that the children will have a safe path to travel on to get to the school every day! Thanks, State Farm for helping to improve our community!
October 4 – 7: Chicago Marathon with Nuun Hydration (Chicago, IL)
I'll be working the Nuun Hydration booth at the expo for the Chicago Marathon! If you will be there too, swing by Booth #584 and say hello! One of my best good friends, Valerie, will be running her very first marathon ever in Chicago and I cannot wait to cheer her on. Plus, I will get to see Jocelyn, one of my Nuun-mates from Hood to Coast, again! All around WIN!
October 8 – 15: Ironman World Championships with Timex (Kona, HI)

This particular design/style is sold only at the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii and the social ambassadors are the first ones to receive them! AWESOME.
October 18 – 21: Runner's World Half Marathon (Bethlehem, PA)
I am so excited to be able to participate in this inaugural event! Again, I will get to reunite with a few of my Hood to Coast Nuun-mates…Elizabeth, Jess, and Laura! I will be going up a day ahead of time to participate in some blogger activities like a BBQ at the Runner's World headquarters and a shakeout run with the editors of Runner's World. This will be super fun! Plus, I will get to hang out with my boy, Bart Yasso again! Good times! If you have not signed up for this race, but want to register, use code BLOGGER23 to save 10%!
October 27: Spinx Run Fest (Greenville, SC)
This is the big day for Jil and I! I will be pacing Jil during the Big Punkin 5k for the Spinx Run Fest. I have run the half marathon that is part of this running festival and I loved it! Maybe next year I will do the full marathon. Who knows, maybe next year I will be pacing Jil through the marathon! All of the races that are part of this running festival offer beautiful courses and I would highly recommend them if you are looking to run a race in SC! This is also the same weekend as the Marine Corps Marathon. My friend, Tess, will be running her first marathon there, so I will be cheering her on from afar!
October 31: Halloween!
This will be Baby Key's first Halloween! Woo hoo! I am a total GEEK for Halloween, so we need to come up with a good costume for him! Should we do coordinating family costumes, or is that totally nerdy? What do YOU think?

For scale the cardboard plaque is 2 meters or 6.56 feet tall
and together the tusks weigh 183g or 403.45lbs
and together the tusks weigh 183g or 403.45lbs
In WMD 'karamojo' Bell's 1923 book 'The Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter' he mentions a tusk in the 'South Kensington Museum'. About ten years later it was later reunited with its twin, and there hangs a tale.
The tale as Bell tells it:
On our arrival at Mani-Mani we were met by one Shundi--a remarkable man. Karirono by birth he had been captured early in life, taken to the coast and sold as a slave. Being a man of great force of character he had soon freed himself by turning Mohammedan. Thence onward fortune had smiled upon him until at last he was, the recognised Tajir (rich man) of all the traders. Having naturally the intelligence to recognise the value of bluff and from his primitive ancestors the nerve to carry it off, he was at this time the greatest of all traders. Just as he had been a leader while slave-raiding was the order of the day, so now he led when ivory had given place to slaves as a commodity. One other thing that makes him conspicuous, at any rate, in my mind, and that he had owned the slave who who had laid low the elephant which bore the enormous tusks, one of which now reposes in the south Kensington museum. these tusks are still, as far as I know, the record. The one we have in London scales 234lb. or thereabouts. According to Shuundi his slave killed it with a muzzle-loader on the slopes of Kilimandjaro.

The Bulls just got a little more interesting. On Tuesday they announced the signing of 5-foot-9 guard Nate Robinson, the seven-year vet known for his leaping ability and free-flowing ways with the media.
Robinson, who essentially replaces John Lucas III (who signed with Toronto), joins a Bulls backcourt with Kirk Hinrich, Richard Hamilton, Marquis Teague, swingmen Jimmy Butler and Marco Belinelli and the on-the-mend Derrick Rose.
The well-traveled Robinson appeared in 51 games (nine starts) for Golden State last season, averaging 11.2 points, 4.5 assists and 1.16 steals in 23.4 minutes. The 28-year-old native of Seattle shot .424 from the field, .365 from downtown and .832 from the foul line.

UNC awarded $1.7 million to curb the spread of HIV in North Carolina
A team of researchers from the Institute for Global Health & Infectious Diseases at UNC has received a $1.7 million grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to study novel HIV testing methods to detect acute HIV infection and target sexual networks to curb the spread of HIV in North Carolina.
The four-year study will assess the performance and cost-effectiveness of a new, 4th generation test to diagnose acute HIV infection (AHI). AHI is the period between infection and detection of HIV antibodies and lasts up to 12 weeks. During this brief window of time, the virus replicates rapidly, and the probability of transmission is very high.
"We believe that a significant proportion of HIV transmission by the sexual route is driven by AHI," said Peter Leone, MD, MPH, professor of medicine in the UNC School of Medicine and co-principal investigator of the study. "Identifying individuals with AHI could have a significant positive impact on the spread of the virus."
Study investigators say the findings will likely have critical implications for the use of 4th generation HIV testing methods. "If these methods are shown to be accurate and cost-effective, their use would allow more widespread screening for acute infection and help with prevention," said co-principle investigator Cynthia Gay, MD, an assistant professor of medicine at UNC.
The Screening Targeted Populations to Interrupt Ongoing Chains of Transmission with Enhanced Partner Notification, or STOP, study will use the AHI diagnosis to identify sexual networks where there is a high risk for HIV transmission and target them for prevention interventions, particularly partner notification.
Men who have sex with men (MSM) increasingly use the internet to find sexual partners. "The anonymity of the internet can limit the ability to perform partner notification by traditional means," said Lisa Hightow-Weidman, MD, MPH, assistant professor of medicine at UNC and the study's third co-principal investigator. The study will utilize online social networks, internet-based notification and text messaging for partner notification and education. "These technologies will include real-time linkage to information about HIV testing sites for AHI, symptoms associated with AHI and referral to HIV and STD care," Hightow-Weidman said.
The study is a partnership between UNC and the Communicable Disease Branch of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Two additional sites have been awarded funding for this project, the San Francisco Department of Public Health and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The CC Vector Home is a more powerful WiFi solution than a standard wireless Wifi Extender.
- Works With All Devices.
How it Works: Our antenna can be located so it more favorably connects to a distant WiFi signal from your router. The antenna is wired to the CC Vector which transmits and receives a new reliable WiFi signal to all types of devices. It uses the most popular 2.4 GHz band which also is the longest-range band. The newly created signal by the CC Vector has the same strength and coverage as a router.
Great for extending the range to upstairs, back rooms, garage and garden. The CC Vector is a good choice to deliver a new signal across a street. Bob's shop is about 50 ft. away from the router in the house and there are several walls that make the WiFi signal from a standard range extender unreliable. The CC Vector Home easily picked up the signal when the antenna was put in a shop window toward the house and delivered a robust signal to his Internet radio and phone in the shop.
The CC Vector advantage is a high power omni-directional Antenna which allows for better placement and pickup of the host router signal. The antenna's sensitivity exceeds average WiFi range extenders designed for in-home use and the system works on all Windows®, Android®, Apple®, iPhone® and Smart TVs.
It is small and can be mounted on a wall, to a window with suction cups or outside for improved coverage and stability. The host signal can be rather weak and the CC Vector Home will do a good job.
There are two available Ethernet ports on the CC Vector for hardwiring additional computers or routers. The setup is straightforward for basic computer users.
The CC Vector Home is capable of supporting two users watching standard quality video like Netflix™ or several users browsing the Internet simultaneously. As distance is increased, speed is reduced.
Comes with C. Crane US based tech support.

I have a garage about 75 feet from my home. The garage is heavily built to withstand hurricanes. Lots of concrete and rebar that makes getting a signal through tough. When I first set the system up I had very weak reception and MPS of about 3.0, Very disappointing as the house mps was about 75. I put a wireless router in the system per the manual suggestion and the mps jumped to 40 mps. Now I can support 4 cameras and another monitor, plus stream HD video on a laptop.
Easy installation
Need a router to get acceptable speed.

I am in a detached office only about 35 feet from the modem. The WiFi signal is great, all the way to the front door of the office. But when I sit at the desk, 6 feet inside, there is No WiFi Signal. Enter the CC Vector! Now I have the CC Antenna mounted outside on the exterior garage wall and I'm getting 20MB/s downloads speed.
Quality products backed up by superior customer service. I got my Dad their flagship AM/FM Radio as an early Christmas gift and he loves it too.

While this may be ideal for stationary applications (hence the name home), it still gives good improvement in mobile (RV) use. We get a faster connection when using it, and can usually connect to distant routers from at least 100' farther away than if we didn't have it. Often, simply being inside our RV is enough to block incoming Wi-Fi signals, so just being able to have the antenna mounted on the outside lets us use our laptops and phones inside the RV when we otherwise couldn't.

After 9 months of use, my unit failed to show any available AP's or other secured personal WiFi. Contacted support. Stayed on phone with them for 45 minutes the first time. They suggested that I try using a different browser such as Google chrome, etc. Still no joy. They immediately sent me another whole unit which did not identify anything. Called service back and said they were going to send me another one that had a firmware update. Apparently when Apple updated their IOS the repeater would not recognize any AP's The updated one worked perfectly. On our first use with the new one in a motorhome, we were parked on Perdido Bay. I fired up the unit and it picked up the parks AP and about 10 more locals using their system, hotspot, etc. directly across the bay is another campground (KOA). It is also on the water with a direct line of sight. IT IS 2.5 MILES AWAY! Incredible! In closing, I cannot say enough about the support staff of CCrane. Very knowledgable, courteous, and d

I bought this kit because out in my garage my Wifi was weak and I couldn't stream youtube video's and even email was on again/off again. Once I opened the box, it took me about 30 minutes to get the various parts hooked together and mounted on a wall of the garage. I followed the instructions for a quick start, and set it up to repeat my main wifi router's signal. My laptop went from one or two bars for reception strength to the top: four bars. Streaming youtube is perfect, no different than plugging an ethernet cable into my router directly. This kit really performed for me. I can easily perform any task on the interweb out in my garage as easily as I can anywhere else in home. I highly recommend this product bundle.

The antenna has great range, as advertised. I purchased it to extend my signal to an external garage, and it does so very well. After the easy set up, however, I had very poor speed, only 2Mb/sec. I needed to use the advanced setup options to choose 11n only and change the channel bandwidth from 20 to 20/40. And possibly most important, I had to place the antenna as far away as possible (the whole length of the supplied cable) and several feet higher than the Alfa R36 USB router. After making those changes, the speed I was getting increased by more than 6x, to be comparable to what I was previously getting with a Netgear extender (which has nowhere near the same range).

it puts out a great signal that easily covers the house and part of my yard.
The set up seems easy BUT if you have a Belkin the IDs might clash and the unit will not work.,The only way to fix it is to change the ID number of the unit so it won't conflict. I called tech support support and they walked me thru it quickly.
If you have a large house or in my case the wifi is in a different building that doesn't quite reach into the house. This makes it so you have full power by repeating the signal.

My wireless router is in a room downstairs, whereas my computer is upstairs on the other side of the house. The repeater system allowed me to get the full 100 meg out of my router. Amazing.
Very easy to install

Thanks for the reviews! I went ahead and ordered the Super Wifi 3 with the Hotspot Repeater and got it last week. I took it out to my Motorhome to do a preliminary test. after closely following the instructions, I was able to connect to my home with just the antenna and I had 2 Bars showing. After firing up the hotspot repeater the signal went full scale! I then tried it with my Amazon Fire Stick and was able to stream a few YouTube videos and movie content. Of course streaming at an rv park might not always be possible with their old wifi systems. I was able to connect my iPhone and Kindle Fire HD to the internet with no problem. I can not wait to hit the road in our MH to give it the real test. Richard Smith Magalia, CA
Will be using this in our Motorhome while traveling.

Although not an expert on WiFi set-ups, I took a chance this combo would be compatible with my iPad & Apple TV after reading a few reviews. I didn't want to have to take my laptop with me so I set up the antenna/repeater here at the house, then transferred them to my camping trailer on the side of the house. Picked up a couple of dozen local routers' signals including my home office connect right away. That was fine, but would this work with my iPad in the woods? Happy to report, it worked great. Just use the Safari browser and tap in the IP address to pull up the Alfa page. Go through the site survey routine to locate all the nearby routers. I found the local RV camp router and proceeded to set it up. The combo didn't seem to work at first, but after I got over my button-punching frenzy, just stepped away for a few mins and voila!, was tickled to see the Alfa repeater/Crane WiFi antenna combo had connected and was up and running...apparently, after tapping in al
Works as advertised.
No negs at this point.

I will be buying another one, maybe two.
Works great
Haven't found any
Just having this would be the best use,Picks up distant wifi signals which can be repeated giving a stronger signal for connecting

(Pocket-lint) - The Range Rover arguably invented the sport utility vehicle genre when it was launched in 1970. The brainchild of engineer Spen King, his objective was to build the ultimate go-anywhere vehicle. Later it became the default choice for those looking to pair that ability with unparalleled luxury.
That goal is still clear in the minds of the designers and engineers who have spent the past five years developing the fourth generation of this iconic product. To find out what improvements they had made to the new model, we headed to Morocco to test the new car on an array of different terrains.
A familiar face
The Range Rover has become better with each generation, growing slightly larger in size but also becoming more luxurious. As such, this latest design is a gentle evolution of the characteristic shape. Its clamshell bonnet, tall side glass and generous approach and departure angles are all design hallmarks of the Range Rover, but it has also become more modern and energetic.
It is also more aerodynamic, achieving a .34Cd figure thanks to a steeper windscreen and near-flush glazing, underbody panels and active grille vanes that shut at speed to reduce drag. Lamps that impart a family connection with Range Rover's most recent offering, the Evoque, also now flank the front and rear ends.
READ: Range Rover Evoque Victoria Beckham edition pictures and hands-on
The power-operated split tailgate – a design feature that's been integral since the original vehicle – has been re-proportioned to enable better access to the boot, but the lower half is now so small that it seems far less functional than when the Duke of Edinburgh stood on it to watch a horse race back in the Seventies.
Big but not bulky
The previous generation Range Rover was sold in its current form for 10 years, which makes it prehistoric in automotive terms. But the fact that Land Rover has left it alone for a decade – changing and adding a few details to bring it in line with the times – just reinforces its relevance.
For 2012, engineers have designed and developed a new platform and air suspension system and cloaked the vehicle in aluminium body panels to significantly reduce weight. The new £71,000 entry-level model now weighs 420kg less than its forebear, which means it is not only more fuel-efficient but also more sprightly.
The new construction has also enabled engineers to downsize the Range Rover's engine while still maintaining nearly identical performance figures. The newly developed 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 can achieve 62mph from a standstill in 7.9 seconds – one tenth of a second faster than its V8-powered predecessor – while returning 29.8mpg in real world driving conditions.
If you do lot of trailer towing (or can't think of anything better to do with £7,000) you may want to opt for the 4.4-litre V8's extra 100Nm of torque. Otherwise, don't bother. Though the two extra cylinders shave one second off 0-62mph sprints, they also add 200kg to the car's overall weight, a further detriment to its economy. The new 3.0-litre diesel unit is more than adequate and both engines are mated to a new 8-speed ZF transmission, which provides smooth shifts.
Like the new Jaguars, the new Range Rover now has stop-start engine capabilities and in the city it is disconcerting at first because you'll think you've stalled it, but it's all designed to save you running the engine when you're not going anywhere.
Interior, redefined
Inside, the front seats are comfortable and supportive; retaining the "command" driving position Range Rovers are known for. However, as the beltline is higher you feel more cocooned behind the wheel.
Just as well that the interior is so lavishly appointed. With 50 per cent fewer switches than the outgoing model the cabin is a cleaner, calmer environment, swathed in high-quality materials and detailing. The dashboard is covered in leather, the tactile characteristics of the controls are decidedly upscale, and the metals and wood veneer all combine to exude quality and refinement.
To alleviate any sense of claustrophobia the new Range Rover is also available with a massive panoramic sunroof, which floods the cabin with natural light. It's quite simply the must-have luxury amenity and beautiful for watching the night sky or bright city lights.
The 42mm longer wheelbase translates into more leg and knee-room in the second row, where the Range Rover can now be specified with a new Executive Class seating option featuring two individual seats and a large centre console rather than a conventional bench that mirrors the Jaguar XJL Ultimate design. The power seats offer an enhanced range of movement for the rear seatbacks and cushion, and can recline up to nine degrees (two more than the standard seats). That said, the rear seating isn't perhaps as comfortable as you might expect: it's a firm experience rather than one to wallow in.
As expected, the Range Rover comes fitted with a range of technology to make life on board more plush. Everything is contained within a central touchscreen interface, which sometimes means navigating through a labyrinth of menus.
To simplify this process, the 8-inch monitor is flanked by shortcuts on either side of the display to access commonly used features. The screen offers everything from parking assistance and vehicle guidance via five camera screens, to mood lighting, seat massaging and climate control, and a dual view system, which displays vital information to the driver while the front seat passenger watches TV or a DVD. You can also specify twin 8-inch monitors in the front seat headrests for rear passengers.
The 12.3-inch TFT gauge cluster is familiar to anyone who's spent some time in the outgoing model, but it now includes a central display, which adds navigation and other ancillary information. It also features a shadowing mode, which highlights the speed and rev numbers while keeping the others dim, making them easier to spot quickly.
USB ports, 12v and audio connections reside inside the deep, refrigerated centre console, which proved to be a great space to keep 500ml drinks bottles cool while travelling over sand dunes and through the desolate Moroccan landscape. The Executive Class console also includes additional USB ports at the rear.
READ: Land Rover Discovery 4 SDV6 HSE review
The icing on the cake is the Meridian sound system, of which there are three available. Our test car was fitted with the top-of-the-line 1700W Signature Reference 3D surround sound system with 29 speakers, including a subwoofer. The system features a series of amplifiers and digital processing technology to optimise sound quality (especially bass) – it has to be the best car audio system we've ever experienced.
We don't need roads
If that term hadn't been coined by Doc Brown in 1985 and affiliated with a time travelling DeLorean, Range Rover would have probably owned the copyright.
As well-heeled as this car is on-road, it's the technological advancements achieved in its second-generation All Terrain Response system that make it even more of a compelling offering off-road.
During our time with the car in Morocco we had the opportunity to use three of the five off-road settings – General; Grass/Gravel/Snow; Mud/Ruts; Sand; and Rock Crawl – to adjust the vehicle's height, throttle sensitivity and wheel slip. In the Automatic mode, the system gathers information from a series of sensors and selects the best setting – or combination thereof – in less than a second. It was a very intensive off-road program of which the car sailed through every inch.
The Range Rover is without a doubt one of the most luxurious and refined vehicles in the world today. That it can also climb up a mountain, navigate through rivers and across sand dunes just makes it all the more amazing.
For this latest model, Land Rover has taken the iconic SUV to new levels. It is well and truly a remarkable vehicle.

Christian Reformed Church Cutting Staff From Publishing Arm
The Christian Reformed Church of North America will be cutting staff from its publishing arm in response to profits that, while increasing, are still lagging.
The Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Church's reduction in staff at Faith Alive Christian Resources is expected to be about 18 percent. Mark Rice, director of Faith Alive, told The Christian Post that this transition was part of the rapidly changing world of denominational publishing.
"Faith Alive has been experiencing declining revenues for several years and across many of its core categories like Sunday school curriculum," said Rice. "We have implemented numerous revenue-producing initiatives (e.g., digital publishing, hiring field sales representation, expanding distribution, etc.) and those initiatives are having an impact."
Rice told CP that while last year marked the first time since 2006 that revenues increased from the year before, the progress has not been enough to avoid the cost-cutting measure.
"But the revenue growth has not yet been enough to sustain Faith Alive long term and we had to face the reality of looking at staff reductions," said Rice. "The reductions, while difficult, are designed to help Faith Alive better focus on its core faith formation strengths."
According to a press release from CRC Communications, Faith Alive's "multifaceted initiative" to increase revenue has been working. This plan has included an increase in digital publishing and the receiving of additional support from the Ministry Shares program of the Church's synod. The synod's additional funding was approved at the annual meeting held in the summer. The reduction will involve cutting some positions and not filling others.
Faith Alive is not the only denominational publication recently looking to altering its activities in response to revenue issues. The United Methodist Publishing House's announced in November that they would be closing all Cokesbury bookstores over the next year.
According to UMPH, Cokesbury's services will be focused on four different venues: online sales, phone center, sales representatives, and involvement at various local events.
When asked by CP if he felt Faith Alive would survive this revenue issue and staff cutting, Rice responded that he did but that it would not be easy.
"I do, but the next nine to twelve months will continue to be a challenge," said Rice. "We will have to continue to live within our means and make choices about where to focus our limited resources in order to create the greatest value and most effective ministry for our customers."

P43. SD recalls being sought out by Egan in Paris; Egan tells Irish indep mvmt war stories & asks SD 2 tell son in Ireland that he's ok.

Man claims tampering in case over bombing videos
SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah lawyer suing the FBI over his public records request for surveillance videos from the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing said Tuesday that one of his witnesses backed out after being visited by government officials last week.
Utah attorney Jesse Trentadue made the accusation Tuesday to U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups during the second day of the trial, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
"I think this is a serious matter," Trentadue said.
Waddoups agreed and ordered lawyers representing the FBI to find out if anyone told John Matthews not to testify. The attorneys said they were unaware of what happened.
Trentadue says Matthews was set to testify about a government operation that had ties to the Oklahoma City bombing investigation.
The trial stems from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit Trentadue filed against the FBI in 2008.
Trentadue says the agency is refusing to release videos that show a second person was with Timothy McVeigh when he parked a truck outside the Oklahoma City federal building and detonated a bomb that killed 168 people. The government says McVeigh was alone.
The FBI has given Trentadue 30 video recordings in response to his FOIA request, but none shows the explosion or McVeigh's arrival in the truck.
Unsatisfied by the FBI's previous explanations and citing the public importance of the tapes, U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups ordered the agency to explain why it can't find videos that are mentioned in evidence logs.
The FBI has brought employees to the stand to explain how the agency has thoroughly searched its archives and found no evidence that more videos exist. Additional searches would be burdensome and fruitless, FBI attorney Kathryn Wyer argued during the first day of a bench trial.
Diane Lang, an FBI evidence technician in Oklahoma City, said Tuesday that she is convinced all videotapes of the bombing have been located, echoing what other FBI employees said Monday.
The trial is scheduled to continue Wednesday with Trentadue bringing at least four of his witnesses as he tries to show Waddoups that the FBI has not adequately searched for the videos.
If Trentadue wins at trial, he hopes to be able to search for the tapes himself rather than having to accept the FBI's answer that they don't exist.
Trentadue believes the presence of a second suspect explains why his brother, Kenneth Trentadue, was flown to Oklahoma several months after the bombing, where he died in a federal holding cell. Kenneth Trentadue bore a striking resemblance to a police sketch based on witness descriptions of the enigmatic suspect "John Doe No. 2," who was never identified.
Trentadue's 44-year-old brother, who was a convicted bank robber and construction worker, was brought to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons' Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City after being picked up for probation violations while coming back to the U.S. at the Mexican border, Jesse Trentadue said.
Kenneth Trentadue's death was officially labeled a suicide. But his body had 41 wounds and bruises that his brother believes were the result of a beating. In 2008, a federal judge awarded the family $1.1 million for extreme emotional distress in the government's handling of the death. The amount was reduced to $900,000 after an appeal.

Q: What is the global assembly cache?
- Definition
Each computer on which the common language runtime is installed has a machine-wide code cache called the 'Global Assembly Cache'. The global assembly cache (or GAC as it is commonly known) stores assemblies specifically designated to be shared by several applications on the computer. The global assembly cache is located in 'Windows/WinNT' directory and inherits the directory's access control list that administrators have used to protect the folder.
Assemblies installed in GAC should adhere to a specific versioning scheme that will allow them for side-by-side execution (multiple versions of the same assembly can be maintained in the GAC) of different code versions.
Shared Assemblies including all the important .NET System assemblies implementing the Framework Class Library reside within GAC. The GAC was originally called Fusion Cache and is implemented using Fusion.dll in .NET Framework.
Assemblies placed in the GAC must have the same assembly name and file name (not including the file name extension). For example, an assembly with the assembly name of 'myAssembly' must have a file name of either 'myAssembly.exe' or 'myAssembly.dll'.
- Scenarios for installing Assemblies in GAC
There are multiple reasons why an assembly should be installed in GAC:
- File Security:
Administrators usually protect the 'Windows/WinNT' directory using an access control list (ACL) to control access. Because the GAC is located in 'Windows/WinNT' folder, this means that the GAC folder inherits the access rights from the 'Windows/WinNT' folder, and only administrators can modify the contents of the GAC. This will ensure that assemblies that are installed in GAC are not being accidentally removed/modified by in-experienced users.
- Shared Location:
GAC acts as a common place for installing assemblies that are shared by multiple applications on the same machine. A common misconception is that in order to make the .NET assemblies available to COM InterOp or to the unmanaged code, the assemblies should be installed in GAC. However, this does not mandate installing assemblies in the GAC. Only those assemblies that are shared with other applications on the same machine should be installed in GAC.
- Side-by-Side versioning:
Side-by-side execution means having the ability to install and use multiple versions of the same assembly. In simple words side-by-side versioning means having the same assembly present with multiple versions but with the same name. GAC can contain multiple copies of the same assembly with different versions, which allows a robust support for versioning in the Common Language Runtime.
- As an additional search location:
When an assembly needs to be loaded by the Common Language Runtime, the CLR first checks the GAC for the assembly.
- Pre-Requisites for installing an assembly in GAC
To install an assembly in GAC, the assembly must be signed with a strong name.
In order to help assemblies to sign with a string name, one can use the Strong Name Tool. Further information can also be found in the following article.Originally Posted by .NET Framework Documentation
- Installing/uninstalling an assembly in GAC
There are multiple ways of installing an assembly in GAC:
- Using Windows Installer:
This is a preferred way for installing shared assemblies and should be the only way to install the shared assemblies on production systems (or non-development machines).
- Global Assembly Cache Tool:
The Global Assembly Cache Utility Tool can be used to install or uninstall assemblies in GAC. It also allows us to view or manipulate the contents of the GAC. The common syntax of 'GACUTIL.exe' is:
To install a strong named assembly from the command prompt in the GAC use:Code:gacutil [options] [assemblyName | assemblyPath | assemblyListFile]
To uninstall a strong named assembly from the command prompt in the GAC use:Code:gacutil /i myAssembly.dll
To view the contents of the GAC we can use:Code:gacutil /u myAssembly.dll
To check if an assembly ('myAssembly.dll') is already present in the GAC:Code:gacutil /l
Code:gacutil /l myAssembly.dll
- Other ways:
There are other ways also to install/uninstall the assemblies to/from GAC and to view the contents. Following links will give some insight on these tools:

To have another language is to possess a second soul.
— Charlemagne (742/7 – 814), King of the Franks
Multilingualism is the natural potential available to every normal human being rather than an unusual exception: "Given the appropriate environment, two languages are as normal as two lungs" (Cook 2002:23).
It need not even require the ability to speak two unrelated languages; a user of e.g. the 'literary' and a vernacular/dialectal variety is already multicompetent, with today only "a handful of isolated pockets of 'pure' monolinguals, now hard to find even in the mountains of Papua New Guinea" (ibid.). At the same time, multicompetence does not require perfect fluency in all the languages at one's command; thus, setting the boundary would probably be a mission impossible.
The advantages that multilinguals exhibit over monolinguals are not restricted to linguistic knowledge only, but extend outside the area of language. The substantial long-lived cognitive, social, personal, academic, and professional benefits of enrichment bilingual contexts have been well documented. Children and older persons learning foreign languages have been demonstrated to:
- have a keener awareness and sharper perception of language. Foreign language learning "enhances children's understanding of how language itself works and their ability to manipulate language in the service of thinking and problem solving" (Cummins 1981);
- be more capable of separating meaning from form;
- learn more rapidly in their native language (L1), e.g. to read, as well as display improved performance in other basic L1 skills, regardless of race, gender, or academic level;
- be more efficient communicators in the L1;
- be consistently better able to deal with distractions, which may help offset age-related declines in mental dexterity;
- develop a markedly better language proficiency in, sensitivity to, and understanding of their mother tongue;
- develop a greater vocabulary size over age, including that in their L1;
- have a better ear for listening and sharper memories;
- be better language learners in institutionalized learning contexts because of more developed language-learning capacities owing to the more complex linguistic knowledge and higher language awareness;
- have increased ability to apply more reading strategies effectively due to their greater experience in language learning and reading in two—or more—different languages;
- develop not only better verbal, but also spatial abilities;
- parcel up and categorize meanings in different ways;
- display generally greater cognitive flexibility, better problem solving and higher-order thinking skills;
- "a person who speaks multiple languages has a stereoscopic vision of the world from two or more perspectives, enabling them to be more flexible in their thinking, learn reading more easily. Multilinguals, therefore, are not restricted to a single world-view, but also have a better understanding that other outlooks are possible. Indeed, this has always been seen as one of the main educational advantages of language teaching" (Cook 2001);
- multilinguals can expand their personal horizons and—being simultaneously insiders and outsiders—see their own culture from a new perspective not available to monoglots, enabling the comparison, contrast, and understanding of cultural concepts;
- be better problem-solvers gaining multiple perspectives on issues at hand;
- have improved critical thinking abilities;
- better understand and appreciate people of other countries, thereby lessening racism, xenophobia, and intolerance, as the learning of a new language usually brings with it a revelation of a new culture;
- learn further languages more quickly and efficiently than their hitherto monolingual peers;
- to say nothing of the social and employment advantages of being bilingual – offering the student the ability to communicate with people s/he would otherwise not have the chance to interact with, and increasing job opportunities in many careers.
Thus, just like Latin once used to be taught as an academic exercise, mental gymnastics with the aim of cognitive training, it has been demonstrated that people who know more than one language usually think more flexibly than monolinguals. Many celebrated bilingual writers—such as John Milton, Vladimir Nabokov, Samuel Barclay Beckett, or Iosif Brodsky—attest that knowing a second language enhances the use of the first.
