Many people who have asthma also suffer from chronic sinusitis.
Sinusitis is an inflammation or swelling of the lining in your sinuses, the air-filled pockets in the bones around your nose. This swelling and postnasal drip may make asthma worse.
Sinusitis has many causes. It can stem from a virus, bacteria, fungus, allergy, or even a reaction to medicine. The American Academy of Family Physicians recommends that those with asthma get treatment for sinusitis. It should be considered a part of your asthma-management plan.
Depending on the cause of your sinusitis, medications may include decongestants, antibiotics, nasal corticosteroid sprays, mucus thinners, nasal saline, and oral corticosteroids. If you think you have sinusitis, talk with your health care provider.
For more information, visit the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology website.

Trey Hodgkins
Senior Vice President of National Security and Procurement PolicyTechAmerica
Trey Hodgkins was assigned a daunting task: Give Office of Management and Budget officials recommendations for improving IT acquisition and program management — and do it in 60 days.
Hodgkins and TechAmerica jumped on the opportunity to participate in OMB's project, despite the tight timeframe. Hodgkins gathered a commission of former government officials and senior industry representatives to develop the recommendations. As the meetings became more frequent and the pressure of completing the work continued to build, Hodgkins recognized the importance of the project and voluntarily postponed a scheduled vacation.
TechAmerica delivered its report to OMB last Oct. 25, and the agency incorporated many of the organization's recommendations into its reform plan.

The Long March of the Liberal Left

Harlingen, Texas, August 27, 2011: Following a recent media announcement concerning a school abandoning prayer before the start of sporting events, a friend confessed his frustration at the decision and similar left-of-center proclamations being made across the United States. "If conservatives outnumber liberals two to one in this country", he lamented, then why do all of these public pronouncements seem to favor secular or progressive agendas?"
Though conservatives outnumber liberals 43% to 21% in the United States, many conservatives still feel they have a small voice in the public debate. They find it difficult to understand why they keep getting beat down in the public arena, when their philosophy is more widely accepted. The simple answer is the liberal-left is very patient and long-suffering. Conservatives, on the other hand, have always sought instant acceptance.
My early college experience dates back more than 50 years. As a freshman at what was then called San Diego State College, I remember the student body had a strong contingent of both World War II and Korean War veterans. In fact, they dominated student government, social organizations and the classrooms. They were so actively patriotic that when a single member of the faculty was discovered to be a Communist, the students drove him from the campus.
Now flash forward to 1990. It was a struggle for me to gain any whisper of a conservative voice on a university campus. In fact, only a single fine arts professor stood beside me declaring his conservative label out of 350 or more faculty members. Now, there may have been a few more conservatives within that mix, but they were well hidden. Over the many years of faculty hiring and determinations of tenure, those of a progressive persuasion kept advancing their numbers until teachers harboring conservative thought were almost non-existent. When a faculty senate is 99% liberal, a conservative has small chance of them voting him or her tenure. As most people realize, with tenure comes job security on any campus and for progressives, a strengthening of their ranks.
These liberal advancements took place, not only at the University of Texas-Pan American, but also in public institutions across the United States. The progressive professors preached their gospel to politically ignorant teen-age students assembled in their classrooms. Four years later another progressive was turned loose on the country. This was particularly the case in our schools of education. Every new teacher pressed out from those molds was a carbon copy of a progressive professor.
The various schools of journalism were also targets of the liberal-left academic invasion. Schools of the early fifties taught us that journalism was a trust and that news was "a here-to-fore unreported FACT of significant interest to the public." Those ideas of trust and fact vanished as the liberal-left captured our journalism schools and eventually dominated almost every mainstream media outlet.
By controlling both education and the media, a liberal agenda was given center stage in America. Democrats dominated the political arena for decades and still are deeply rooted inside those institutions that seek to control both thought and action.
Conservatives were almost voiceless until the dawning of Talk Radio. Fact centered media information was further advanced with the birth of Fox News. The two outlets, along with a sprinkling of news magazines and newspapers have finally given the conservative movement a voice that can be heard nationally. It is not a giant voice yet, but it is growing in volume almost daily. Is the message being heard? Well conservatives are growing in number...and the liberal-left is no longer accepted as the herald of the people.

Great response Senior. It seems that in most cases verbal attacks by the left are necessary because of a lack of fact upon which to base a logical argument. Of course if any conservative even approaches the left's venomous verbiage, that individual is branded as being outrageous, reprehensible and offensive. As Winston Churchill said "Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without it being extolled. But some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anthing back, that is an outrage." His vision of todays left was right on target.

Just Me, I think your message would best be addressed to the liberal left. When have you heard Pelosi or any of her followers try to make a point? ... all they do is belittle and besmirch their opponents. Instead of presenting their message, they try to shoot the opposing messenger. For example, why was it necessary to try to make George W. look like a simpleton? Could they not have argued point for point for their liberal ideas? No. Instead, they try to smear.

Conservatives should back off from judging and believing that others who do not instantly agree with them are idiots. Take care not to force their beliefs on others but rather be patient. Too much one-sidedness in education and media is a turn off. Present both sides and trust the receiver of the information. Stop brain washing.

The Cold War Preview & Gallery!
We're just five days away from Cold War, the hotly-anticipated third episode in the current run of Doctor Who which features the long-awaited return of the Ice Warriors!
It's difficult for younger or newer fans to appreciate just how exciting this is for some of us without squeeing everywhere (something that really isn't my style), but for many of us the Ice Warriors – Doctor Who's Martians are as important to the series' lore as the Daleks and Cybermen, and were key to the Second Doctor's era, the so-called "Monster Era". It can be no coincidence that both Great Intelligence and the Ice Warriors have been seen in the 50th anniversary year as foes for a Doctor that isn't so unlike the second incarnation.
But enough of this – what's the episode about?
The Doctor and Clara land on a damaged Russian Submarine in 1983 as it spirals out of control into the ocean depths.
An alien creature is loose on board, having escaped from a block of Arctic ice. With tempers flaring and a cargo of nuclear weapons on board, it's not just the crew but the whole of humanity at stake!
Executive produced by Steven Moffat and Caroline Skinner, Cold War is written by Mark Gatiss and directed by Douglas Mackinnon. Marcus Wilson is the producer.
And now, the main feature: the Cold War gallery, courtesy of the BBC!
A hi-res collection of the images above can be found on the Kasterborous Facebook page.
Cold War airs Saturday, 13th April at 6pm on BBC One/HD and 8 ET on BBC America. We'll have a preview of the episode in a couple of day's time.
6 Responses to The Cold War Preview & Gallery!
A gallery that makes me all the more eager to watch the episode. And its nice to add David Warner to the list of actors who've done work for Doctor Who audios that finally get to be in the TV series as well, like Anthony Head and Derek Jacobi.
This is such a wonderful season! I can't wait to see the next episode.
I'm dancin' like a monkey!
So David Warner is in this one… add that to Richard E Grant and that's two alternative doctors that have shown up this season…. not to mention Arabella Weir showing up in the 2011 christmas special
I'd love it if that was leading up to something but it probably isn't, can't wait to see "Cold War"!
This has got to be better than The Ringpiece of Akhaten…..looking forward to it muchly….
Ice Warriors AND David Warner? Brilliant.
well, i keep wondering if they are gonna do a reverse War Games on the Doctor and make HIM lose his memory, judging by how:
Matt Smith's fave Doctor is Troughton's Doctor
A lot of stuff from Troughton's Doctor is featuring so heavily recently
Clara keeps telling him to RUN CLEVER BOY and REMEMBER.
Also, WHERE's ROMANA? -sigh-

A GOP Economic Myth Bites the Dust
It's one of the most enduring myths in American politics; that if you increase taxes for the wealthy (or, in the right's favorite BS term, "job creators"), the rate of employment will take a nosedive. Nothing about this makes any sense at all, but with a media environment that values a false "balance" above truthtelling, it's much easier to gloss over that fact. What the right is saying when they make this argument is that it would be too expensive to make profit — a ridiculous claim that ignores simple math, not to mention logic.
So, in our current political and media environment, even obviously bogus claims need to be debunked. And two top economists — Nobel Prize winner Peter Diamond and John Bates Clark award winner Emmanuel Saez — probably felt more than up to the task when they took it upon themselves to bust this rightwing myth. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Diamond and Saez set the record straight.The share of pre-tax income accruing to the top 1% of earners in the U.S. has more than doubled to about 20% in 2010 from less than 10% in the 1970s. At the same time, the average federal income tax rate on top earners has declined significantly. Given the large current and projected deficits, should the top 1% be taxed more? Because U.S. income concentration is now so high, the potential tax revenue at stake is large.
According to our analysis of current tax rates and their elasticity, the revenue-maximizing top federal marginal income tax rate would be in or near the range of 50%-70% (taking into account that individuals face additional taxes from Medicare and state and local taxes). Thus we conclude that raising the top tax rate is very likely to result in revenue increases at least until we reach the 50% rate that held during the first Reagan administration, and possibly until the 70% rate of the 1970s. To reduce tax avoidance opportunities, tax rates on capital gains and dividends should increase along with the basic rate. Closing loopholes and stepping up enforcement would further limit tax avoidance and evasion.
But will raising top tax rates significantly lower economic growth? But will raising top tax rates significantly lower economic growth? In the postwar U.S., higher top tax rates tend to go with higher economic growth—not lower. Indeed, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis, GDP annual growth per capita (to adjust for population growth) averaged 1.68% between 1980 and 2010 when top tax rates were relatively low, while growth averaged 2.23% between 1950 and 1980 when top tax rates were at or above 70%.
So no, raising taxes on the wealthy won't harm job creation — mostly because the "job creators" aren't the wealthy, they're consumers as a whole.
"With the 'taxes harm growth' and Laffer curve arguments undercut by research such as this, Republicans have fallen back on the argument that it's unfair to take income away from those who earn it," comments economist Mark Thoma (link mine). "But that presumes that the system allocates income fairly, a claim that is hard to swallow given how much financial executives are paid relative to their contribution to the productive process (to name just one example). There's nothing unfair about using taxes to 'clawback' misdirected income, and it won't harm growth to send income where it should have gone in the first place."
In other words, the dreaded "redistribution of wealth" — although it would be more accurately described as the "re-redistribution of wealth." Insanely low tax rates and a corporate culture that rewards even failure with tremendous bonuses represent "Robin Hood in reverse" economics, where those least able to afford it take the hit, in order to take the burden off the wealthy.
Does this create jobs? We've already established that the answer is no. And the reason is simple — producers will only offer the goods and service that people will pay for. The less money consumers have to spend, the fewer employees will be needed at any given workplace. By taking money from consumers to cover tax breaks for the wealthy, you do the opposite of creating jobs. Take a look at that chart at the top of the page — tax rates for the top earners are the lowest since 1950 and jobs follow that downward arc. Money in the hands of consumers, not employers, creates jobs. This is not a hypothesis, this is as solid a fact as gravity.
It's really very easy to explain all of this: employers don't hire people any time they can afford to — they only hire people when they can't afford not to. Anyone who argues otherwise is either a liar or someone who doesn't understand economics, business, or math at all.

Israel stunned by Egypt decision to cancel gas contract
Egypt has canceled an agreement to supply gas to Israel. This move came after 14 as acts of sabotage against the gas pipeline from Egypt to the Jewish state since the fall of Hosni Mubarak in February 2011. Ampal -American Israel Corporation announced Sunday it had received the information from the Egyptian side.
The Egyptian national natural gas company Egas and the Egyptian General Petroleum Authority announced the termination of the contract signed with the Egyptian company East Mediterranean Gas (EMG), said Ampal, a partner of EMG, which exports gas from Egypt to Israel.
Shoeib Mohamed, director of Egas, confirmed the decision, explaining that this 20 year old agreement had expired Thursday. "Egas has terminated the agreement because the other party has not fulfilled its obligations," he told Egyptian television station Hayat. "This is a commercial disagreement, without political consideration," he said.
The Israeli Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz expressed his "great concern" after the announcement, saying that it created "a dangerous precedent that casts a pall over peace agreements and peaceful relations between Egypt and Israel."
Israel imports from Egypt between 40 and 45% of its natural gas consumption, under a contract signed after the 1979 peace agreements.

My Lady friend loves it !
I am a bit disapointed..it is much much smaller in size than your catalog foto shows. In the book, you see the footprints easily, whereas the actual item ...you really need a magnifying glass to see the footprints. However, because it's a gift, I opt to overlook this. Actual item much smaller than represented.
She is very happy with it, says she loves it!
Very nice.....
I received it in time for Christmas. In the book, the cross looked wider, but I still like it.

LAHgrtUmtr. 5) Ml l J i- J s Students part By Jennifer Larson news editor The Signpost By Bobby Callegos correspondent The Signpost More than 60 percent of Utah's military reserves have been deployed. This semester, Weber State University's ROTC has been a part of that percentage, with the deployment of six ROTC cadets from the Army ROTC. "It's been whirlwind excitement around here this last semester," said Lt Col. Gregory Stuart, WSU assistant professor of military science. "We have had six freshman and sophomore students called to active duty this semester." Students in the ROTC can only be called to active duty if they are part of a national reserve unit and are not juniors or seniors who have 60 or more ROTC credit hours. Rich Rankin is one of the six soldiers recently sent to Camp Williams, although Rich and the other five are not in Iraq, it is still a scary thing for their families. v - m - t i .: ' X ) , (wff v .

People waited outside for about 15 minutes before clearance was given to re-enter the building. This is the third time this building's alarm system has gone off in the last week. 'It's been whirlwind excitement around here this last semester. We have had six freshman and sophomore students called to active duty this semester' Lt. Col. Gregory Stuart WSU assistant professor of military science "There is always a concern he could be sent out, but there are others at a greater risk than my son, so I am not too worried at this point," said Ronald Rankin, Rich's father. With so many of Utah's military reserves being deployed, Ronald assumed the men and women must be trained and prepared and, therefore, ready to go. Which is why they are the ones being deployed. When the United States goes to war, a war plan is made, Stuart said. The government decides what kind of war is going to be fought and then sends troops according to those needs. Utah has the highest percentage of deployed troops because they have the skills needed by the government for the type of war anticipated in the of troops deployed Middle East. Those most commonly deployed have included units skilled in linguistics and engineering. Utah has the largest linguistics training facility in the nation, and he theorizes this is because of the LDS missionary program, and the missionaries that join after they return from their foreign speaking missions, Stuart said. In the wake of a potential war, whether or not families agree with war, they have to wait for President Bush to weigh all the options. Many hope his decision will have troops home as soon as possible, Ronald said. "I like to think there is another solution, but after the 911 disaster we have to do something," Rankin said. See Troops page 3 Senate discusses budgets cuts By Jennifer Compton Lee asst. news editor The Signpost The student senate discussed the effects of potential budget cuts, "Last Lecture" nominations and students with disabilities emphasis week. Brody Barnes, Weber State Uiversity student president, encouraged the student senate to be aware of the impact budget cuts will have. He said higher education in Utah has taken a $36.9 million budget cut during the year. When unfunded enrollment growth is added in, the total leaps to $77 million. The legislature proposed an additional 2 percent cut for the 2003-2004 school year. Higher education will lose 770 courses, 106 faculty members and 111 staff if the budget cut is approved. "Our education is being hurt," Barnes said. "We need people to write to our local legislators. Tell them why these budget cuts make it hard for you." If students reach out to the legislators, it will bring the cuts to a halt, Barnes said. Mike Danso, international students senator, said he wonders if the legislature ever takes international students into consideration when proposing budact cuts.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

For two-time world cyclocross champ Zdenek Stybar, Sunday may mark an end, and a beginning. Stybar is just 26, and would seem to have a bright future ahead of him in cyclocross. But like another young past CX champ, Lars Boom, Stybar has his sights set on different things.
After a steady rise on the 'cross-centric Telenet-Fidea team, Stybar switched to Quick-Step last season for a rookie year on the WorldTour road circuit. In that, he's following most recently in the footsteps of Boom, who won the U23 world cyclocross title in 2007 and then the elite title in 2008, and has gone on to ride road for Rabobank.
Also like Boom, Stybar hasn't made such a clean break with his first discipline just yet. Boom rode for the Rabobank continental team and did nearly full road seasons in 2007 and 2008 before switching full-time to the road on the Rabobank ProTeam in 2009; since that switch, he's dabbled in 'cross, even winning a couple of Dutch national titles, but has not raced more than a handful of events each season.
Stybar's in a similar place to Boom circa 2008. He finished his road season in late August and promptly hopped into training for a full slate of 'cross races. He's had a pretty good year, if maybe not quite to his standards. He was strong in the World Cup, with a win and every finish inside the top 5. But he stumbled a bit in the Superprestige with two uncharacteristically mid-pack finishes.
The biggest factor to give pause, though, is simply volume. Stybar will race 31 CX events this year. Because of 'cross, he didn't start a road race in 2011 until early May. He skipped recent Omega Pharma-Quick-Step team camps and his road director, Wilfried Peeters, said last month that Stybar needs to decide which discipline he should concentrate on. "He wants too much," said Peeters, who seems to favor dropping 'cross to focus on the road.
Stybar's entry to the Quick Step team last year coincided with a new owners, fellow Czechs Zdenek Bakala and Bessel Kok. Bakala's cash provided Quick Step manager Patrick Lefevere with some much-needed fuel for a program that had started to fade, and the merger with Omega Pharma this past off-season has put the team back at the top of the sport, with a strong road roster that is—for a Lefevere team—extremely well-balanced for almost any type of race.
So Stybar faces a somewhat difficult choice. In cyclocross, he's a star; on Omega's road team, he'll be a 26-year-old second-year pro learning the ropes. Similarly, Boom was huge in cyclocross but at Rabobank he is often second seat to Robert Gesink or Bauke Mollema.
Ultimately, Stybar's choice needs to satisfy only one person: Bakala (who has taken a more visible role than Kok). Peeters can stew all he wants but he's not in a position to tell either Zdenek what to do. But personally, I think Peeters is right. Stybar's strength is obvious, just as Boom's is. But racing a half-season on the road is neither a good way to progress there nor is it the best prep for 'cross.
It's not clear whether road is Stybar's best discipline (the jury's still a little out on that for Boom too) but trying to race full seasons in two disciplines simply isn't helping him. Boom is widely seen to have left 'cross because he'd accomplished what he wanted. In another parallel to his Dutch predecessor, Stybar has little to prove to anyone in 'cross; the road represents a new challenge.
Win or lose on Sunday, I'd like to see Stybar commit to at least two years focused on the road. Sure, enter a few cyclocross races here and there. But with his obvious talent, a singular focus and the balance of training and racing required could yield huge dividends. If he is unable to choose, Stybar may find himself unsatisfied with his results in either discipline.

Get out & grow
Now is the time for transplanting herbs
By Michelle Ensinger
Spring is the best time for repotting herbs. When I transplant, I usually add one teaspoon of lime per 4-inch pot, as most herbs prefer a more alkaline soil. Borage, dill and parsley have a taproot and will grow better in a deep pot. Lovage and fennel may attempt to set seed after the first growing season in a pot and may not produce succulent leaves. I find it best to use the leaves when the plant is young. If you wish to start from seed, three seedlings per 12-inch pot should be usable for about two years. To keep your herbs bushy, continuously pick the leaves.
If you are introducing indoor grown herbs - or seedlings - to the outdoors in spring, I find it best to introduce them to full sun gradually. A lot of herbs would rather have part sun/part shade, than direct sun all day.
When planting herbs together in a large container, it is best to ensure that their growing requirements are similar. Also, I usually put in a long 3/4 of the way into the pot (especially clay) to ensure the roots receive water and food. Sun loving herbs, include sweet marjoram, lemon basil, sweet basil, and oregano.
Parsley, coriander and chervil enjoy bright light, but not necessarily direct sun, and cooler/wetter growing conditions. A unique way of growing and displaying herbs is in a hanging basket. Please note that the basket should not be placed in a windy location.
Here are some herbs for the sunny side of the container: the creeping thymes, catmint, ivies, lady�s mantle, prostrate sage, prostrate winter savory, chives (a center focal point). For the shady side of the basket: periwinkle, variegated mints and penny royal. Herbs can become spiky in appearance and lose their lower leaves if watered irregularly or are too confined.
I find it best to place the wire basket on a bucket or overturned plant pot. Line the wire basket with moss, then place a black plastic bag inside that you have punctured with drain holes.
Fill the basket half full with a good compost/hanging basket mix with about six teaspoons of lime. The trailing herbs should be planted in the sides through the plastic lining and the taller herbs in the middle.
If you have extra compost, top the container with it and water. The plants may look sparse, but before you know it, the container will become full and useable.
Finding the perfect rose depends on color and size
By Michelle Ensinger
There are thousands of named roses out there, most of which fall into three broad groups.
Wild roses include both the truly wild species and those garden forms that are associated with them. Old garden roses are those groups of horticultural origin that were already established prior to the year 1867. Modern garden roses are the predominant roses of today and still, unlike the garden roses, in active development by hybridists.
From these three categories comes all the roses as we know them today. Choosing the right rose depends on the space you have and what you want the rose to do, climb the fence, cover a trellis or fill a pot on the patio.
When you have the right rose picked out for the job, next is picking the color! There are so many roses in so many colors it becomes mind boggling. So think again of the use of your roses. Will it blend with your landscape or is it for indoor fresh flower arrangements?
Small plants that are great for pots or hanging baskets
with all the beauty of big roses.
Floribundas: Full sized roses with multiple blooms on a single stem. Makes a very showy garden.
Hybrid Teas: The most popular rose bush with usually a single stem for great cutting of long stemmed roses for arrangements.
Tree Roses: Great for patio pots to bring color to those areas where you can�t plant anything - around the pool or on your deck.
Shrub Roses: Free blooming bushes that are great for hedges, borders or for those hard to maintain wilder areas.
Antiques: Old fashioned roses with a delicate fragrance and tremendous vigor.
Arbor Foundation: Ten free oaks
Ten free oak trees will be given to each person who joins the National Arbor Day Foundation during the month of April 2003.

�The people chose well in selecting the oak as America�s National Tree,� said John Rosenow, president of the Arbor Day Foundation. �Oaks have long been prized for their shade, beauty, and strong wood. The oak�s strength, longevity, and grace make it a fitting national symbol.�
The free oak trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting in April or May with encloseed planting instructions. The six or 12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge.

WISCONSIN DELLS, WI (WTAQ) - Fire destroyed the famous ark at Noah's Ark waterpark near Wisconsin Dells early Monday.
But the driver of a construction backhoe saved a life-sized, man-made wooden elephant on the deck of the ark.
Delton Fire Chief Darren Jorgenson said the huge wooden ark was a total loss. The blaze started around 2:30 a.m. in a part of a storage building, which also had restrooms.
The excavation workers which brought the backhoe removed a number of stored items from the building.
Jorgenson said it took an hour-and-a-half to get the fire under control – and firefighters stayed throughout the morning to handle hot spots. No one was hurt.

He later pursued certification as a performance enhancement specialist, and currently specializes in injury prevention through strength training and conditioning. In addition, Fenster holds a national "B" level coaching license from the United States Soccer Federation.
Adam is one of three siblings, including NAIA All-American soccer player Tiffany Fenster, to attend The Evergreen State College. Head Men's Soccer Coach John Purtteman was delighted by the move, "Evergreen has just picked up a fantastic soccer coach and, even more, a fantastic person who is highly engaged with student development and will undoubtedly move the program forward."

I did insane amount of research before zeroing on to purchase this mobile. Here is the abstract of my research! This phone has the highest desired features to cost ratio among all the higher end Smartphones. It has absolutely no drawbacks, unlike the Samsung galaxy counterparts - which suffer from the absence of flash for camera, low resolution front camera and of course the plastic back body. If you compare with HTC Desire S, for just a little extra price, a bigger screen and higher resolution camera can be got. That's what I thought before buying the mobile. Now, let me describe the expe... (Expand)
After days of being confused and lost, as to what smart mobile device to buy, I decided to go for this one.
From the experience of using it for, about 2 weeks and a bit now, I can say that I am not disappointed. The phone is slightly larger than the usual smartphone, and feels solid in the hands. It performs well, scrolling and sliding is smooth, and the large 4 inch screen makes ebook reading, news feed reading, tying (especially with the landscape keyboard) very comfortable and enjoyable. Web browsing is smooth and the lag is not noticeable. Picture quality from the 8 MP camera is averag... (Expand)
Iknow you all know the advantages of this phone by many sites. But disadvantages are:-
1. If even a single drop of water falls on screen, the screen will stop working (not stop working but acting weirdly) until that single drop is removed.
2. When you snap a pic it will look awesome when you see that pic in mobile but quality goes down when you see that pic in laptop.
3. Android 2.2 is better than android 2.3.3 (my own experience). So dont update your mobile please.
4. HTC own preloaded navigation map is good and 3D but all the places is not mentioned and a bit slower than Google map.

It's been about a week since I bought this Phone for my Wife. I have an HTC Desire and quite like it also.
At the time of purchase, my criteria was Android, 4" Touch Screen, Good Camera and a fast phone. I finally short-listed HTC Incredible S and Samsung Galaxy S Plus and then compared these two -
1. Android Version - Samsung Has Pre-installed Gingerbread however, HTC Incredible can also get updated to Gingerbread and it took about 20 minutes..
2. Display & Touch - Both phones almost same.
3. Processor & RAM
Samsung 1.4 GHz Processor, 512 MB RAM
HTC 1 GHz Pro... (Expand)
I am in love with this phone. Its actually admirable. The only issues are that the low sound of loud speaker and a bit of battery concerned. Apart from that Its 10/10.
Few words for Flipkart:
Flipkart is setting up the international standard in India. They commit and they do. I have got my order with 40 hrs of placing the order.
I got my money from EPF.
Heart was pounding when i bought my first ever smartphone and that too online..
The product was amazing, delivery was timely and packaging was impressive, given that i was living in a college hostel that time and delivery guy found me personally through so many guys..

"Good to the last Draw"
WOW. I really liked this Cigar. I smoked it until I burnt my fingers on it. Very flavorful and sweet. I love the oily flavor of it very rich. My only complaint is it was over before I wanted it to be. Please Drew make these bigger they are awesome.Colby Curtis in Wichita Falls TX December 28, 2008
Mind sickenly sweet.John in Jim Thorpe September 28, 2008
"Just right for that relaxing cigar."
one of the best cigars ive ever had not to strong nor weak but just right. Different than all those foreighn cigars that taste like tarPFC RODNEY in KOREA July 24, 2008
"They're Kidding, Right?"
I'm amazed that anyone could like this cigar. Before I lit it , I put it in my mouth to taste the wrapper and got a mouth full of off sweet taste that won't go away. I decided to be brave and light the thing and put it down after one puff. I knew if I continued I was gonna be sick. I may try lighting the wrong end, but not until this taste goes away. If you like diet cola syrup, you'll like these.DAJ in Indiana December 27, 2007
Like some others who have tried "Dirt", I found it to be almost sickeningly sweet & was going to throw the rest in the trash, before my wife came to the rescue. Not being a cigar smoker, she mistakingly lit the wrong end of a dirt while I was not home. just for the heck of it, I took a few draws, and to my great surprise, when smoked from the wrong end, this is a very good cigar, & avoids the overly sweet candy taste. I know it sounds crazy, but try it & I think it will change your mind about this cigar.JB in MILTON, MASS. October 15, 2007
"My favorite"
This is by far one of the best cigars I have had it is very rich but not over powering.The smell of this cigar remindes me of a pipe and the tase is just wonderfull, people seem to think this is a flavored cigar just because it is from Drew Estate but it is not, so if you like rich, chocolatey and wet tasting cigars with no dry or harsh aftetase this is one you should try.Todd in Cedar Sprinds Mi May 7, 2007
"The best small cigar EVER !"
Tried this when I picked one up in a small shop and have been hooked ever since, my humidor is always full. Above any I have had the BEST, including Cubans'and it is great with coffee.Leo in LA December 12, 2006
"Dirt? More like mud."
My last order from Famous came with a sampler of a Natural Dirt and a Natural Root. I lit up the Dirt the other night, and nearly spit it out on first light. It had this off-sweet taste to it, almost like there was a cross between sugar and Sweet N Low in the entire wrapper. I hoped it would go away after a while, so I gave it a fair try. It didn't. This is the first cigar I have tossed away in under a half-hour of smoking and not even tried to finish. Avoid at all costs.Chris in San Antonio, TX May 29, 2006
"Quickly became my favorite"
I picked one of these up when my friends and I went to the local cigar shop on a nice afternoon to sit outside and relax. I had Acid cigars before, and love the Drew Estate company, but they COMPLETELY outdid themselves with this one. It is a smooth, creamy smoke, tastes delicious, and lasts just about the right amount for me. I like petit coronas and robustos, and it is just the right size. Burned perfectly and drew quite nicely. I am hooked.in February 19, 2006
"Different Type of "Flavored""
A customer of mine gave me a Natural Dirt to try. After a meal, I sat down with a coffee, and fired this stick up. The taste from both seem to compliment each other. Smooth, and somewhat creamy, I would recommend this for a once in a while "change". Like other products I had from Drew Estates, they are, to me, smoked once in a great while. As with all of their products, I found out that over indulgence is a bad thing.Dennis Lavallee in Conn. December 10, 2005

(We have updated this post with a statement from Allen's publicist)
Woody Allen's latest movie "Blue Jasmine" will not debut in India this weekend after the filmmaker objected to anti-tobacco ads that the Indian government requires cinemas to play before and during movies that feature scenes with characters smoking.
Allen refused to make "customisations" in the film to accommodate the ads, which led to distributor PVR Pictures cancelling the release, said two sources familiar with the matter. Both sources declined to comment because they were not authorized to talk about it with journalists.
"Blue Jasmine," which critics have praised as the 77-year-old Allen's best work in recent years, stars Cate Blanchett as a wealthy New York socialite who endures a humiliating fall from grace after her husband is arrested for financial crimes. The film was supposed to come out in India this weekend, three months after its U.S. release.
"Allen was adamant that he wanted the film to be shown as he had made it, without any additions to the print," one of the sources said.
One of Allen's publicists confirmed the sources. "Due to content in the film, it cannot be shown in India in its intended manner. Therefore, the film is not scheduled to play there," said a spokesman for Allen at the firm 42 West.

I switched out my old Nashbar MB clipless pedals for this new one; I adjusted then new pedal, installed the new clips on the shoes and locked in. Much easier than earlier product used.

Second pair for second bike
By Snowbird Bob
from SC
About Me Avid Cyclist
I have wide feet and most shoes are too tight on me. Using a typical mountain bike shoe works well for me and I use these pedals on my Trek road bike. The fact that they can be clipped into from either side is a plus and regular shoes can be worn for a really quick, casual ride. I bought a second pair of pedals for a bike I keep at a second location.
Great Product
By Catracho Biker
from Lincoln, NE
About Me Commuter
The pedals work as described. I like using them and would recommend them to a beginner. I am a beginner and this pedals made it easy for to transition from regular pedals to cleats....you will still fall the first times you use the cleat system, it happens to everyone I guess, but dont get discouraged, you will get used to it :) The product brought clear instructions and also the cleats!! Cleats alone are like 20.00 so this is a pretty good deal!
Good pedals
By Stan
from Northeast, PA
The platform makes it easier to locate where the cleat goes without your foot slipping off the pedal and causing a scene. Also, the pedal is comfortable to wear regular sneakers with if you were running a short errand, etc.
Pedals for all.
By keithrods
from Chatanooga TN
Pedals were for a bike I provide for others to ride. The fact that they work both clipless and have standard pedal platform works great for all. The price and value are spot-on in my opinion.
Why did I wait so long to go clip less?
By Andy
from Indiana
These were my first clipless pedals, so I was a tad apprehensive when they arrived. Now that I've had my first few rides with them, I don't no why I waited so long. I have been very please by the easy of entry and release. The only concern I have, and I'll assume it's the same for similar pedals, is that when the circumstances dictate that I pedal without the cleats engaged, then the pedals feel very slick, kind of like skating on ice. They are functional with athletic shoes for short rides, but if I'm leaving my bike shoes at home I'd probably swap out the pedals first.Instructions were okay. Print and illustrations were to the small side (an issue to cyclists of a certain age). If you've done clipless pedals before, you should have no problem. I imagine there are better systems out there for experienced riders, but these are certainly a good choice for someone just starting out with a clipless pedals and shoes.
On every bike I own
By Crankenstein
from Midland, MI
Got them on my fat tire, hybrid, single speed, and geared race bike. no failures after hundreds of miles on trails and lots of crashes...buy them!
Great For First Clipped Pedals
By acwes10
from Peoria, Il
These pedals are great for a first time user. Easy to set up and I put 200 miles on them in 4 days (Katy Trail) and they held up to a couple of falls in there too! These pedals are great for the starter.

great with or without SPD shoes
By all around biker
from NY
I have these on every bike I own..mountain and hybrid and now for my road bike. Love these for use as clip in which is done with ease either side of the pedal. They are durable and secure and best of all can be used with any type of shoe, which I like when I don't want to wear SPD shoes. The part I like best about these is when I have to unclip pulling a hill on the trail and don't have to worry about getting that connection to get back on it or looking down to assure i'm clipped in if needed. These pedals give me the security of a good platform for my shoes..clipped in or not.

The European Commission's 2011 "EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard" shows that R&D investment by top EU companies recovered strongly in 2010, with a 6.1% rise following a 2.6% decrease in 2009.
However, data for the world's top 1400 companies show EU companies as a whole lagging behind major competitors from the US and some Asian economies on R&D growth. There was a general positive trend in 2010, as global R&D investment increased by 4%, a robust up-turn after the 1.9% drop observed in 2009. The global top 50 in terms of total R&D investment includes 15 EU companies, 18 US firms and 13 from Japan. Two pharmaceutical companies occupied the top spots: Roche from Switzerland (€7.2bn) followed by Pfizer from the US (€7bn). Volkswagen (€6.3bn), in sixth place, is the biggest EU investor in R&D, followed by Nokia (11th with €4.9bn), Daimler (13th with €4.8bn) and Sanofi-Aventis (14th with €4.4bn).
