basically, with this feature you will have 2 couchbase users.
1 - admin (can do anything and everything)
2 - read-only user (cannot change any setting , can only see and access UI and REST API settings - no POST / PUT only GET)
BTW CBD is already restricted to Membase inc.
We've had ticket for more general user management elsewhere. Maybe. But IMHO don't expect that more general stuff be done very soon. I.e. it doesn't make much sense until we can comfortably handle many tens of buckets in cluster.
Thanks Alk. I think the argument still stands even for less than 10 buckets. This is really for their development environment where they may have 10 different "teams" working off the same cluster and for compliance reasons need to ensure that if one team gets compromised, they are not able to see the data for the rest of the company.
Wouldn't it be better to move towards a privilege model where you can assign privileges to roles/users?
You might want to have people who can only add/remove nodes to the cluster, but not create/modify the bucket parameters
You might want to let one role change the number of replicas, or if you should be able to flush the bucket, but not change the bucket size
You might want to have people being allowed to create development views, but not publish them etc..
People asked for "spec". So here's what we will do (and see pm spec for more details):
- read-only user will be able to see everything
- read-only user will not be able to change anything
- we intend to hide all submit/edit/whatever actions for this guy. So basically UI will be same except that we'll cut all "mutation" features (rebalance, create bucket, delete bucket, update settings, edit bucket, create/change views etc — all will be cut from ui)
documentation request from karen:
Read-only User for UI and REST (RN + Doc)
- Where in UI does this appear (Tab, area, install wizard)? Send screenshot when stable.
- REST call:
- Provide example of call,
- List parameters, datatypes per parameter, acceptable values per parameter
- Provide all errors possible
- Provide example success output
- Provide example failure output
is this ready for QE? can u mark it as 'resolved'?
There are few minor changes still pending but otherwise ready for testing
Hey Alk,
one minor thought here: I read that you'll cut out the mutating stuff from the UI - I just wanted to double verify that you also remove the permission on the server endpoints as well? I just want to avoid "security through obscurity".
Michael, please elaborate a bit what "permission on the server endpoints" mean.
Sure, I just meant that those services that got executed when someone would press that (hidden) button like "edit a bucket" is also secured, because it would be very easy to just add that button back or execute the underlying call on its own.
So, simplified, lets say "delete bucket" goes to /foo/bar/deleteBucket/default .. then this URI must also be secured, not just the removing of the button. If this has been already done anyway, consider my input as worthless
Yes. Naturally we've secured API calls too.
I just tried the RO user and it looks good, but one thing I found:
when logged in as RO and you click on documents, it shows the "Edit Document" button.. you cant modify it then, but its misleading.. maybe this can be renamed to "Show Document"? Or just hide the button since when you click on the key you can inspect it anyway.. just the "edit" is misleading when you actually can't edit.
reopening because of ui enhancement.
please determine if this is reasonable - thanks.

Teaching and Learning
The strategic use of information technology has the ability to transform teaching and learning helping institutions realize EDUCAUSE's mission of "transforming education through information technologies." All institutions have made educating learners a critical priority. Technology is a means, not an end, toward that goal.
EDUCAUSE focuses on understanding learners, aligning learning principles and practices together and integrating learning technology—all with the goal of improving student success. EDUCAUSE members also benefit from tools and techniques that enable them to deliver high quality academic programs and support services in a flexible manner. The strategic use of information technology can enhance student engagement, improve access, and make services more convenient. As IT is integrated into the academic enterprise, a number of other issues are raised such as financing, policies, faculty involvement, and assessment.
We encourage you to explore EDUCAUSE's resources on teaching and learning. These include the work of our members as well as material contributed from EDUCAUSE's strategic initiative, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative. We hope you will find the material of use and encourage you to contribute to future EDUCAUSE activities in teaching and learning.

Lerida hotels
General Information
Catalonia is one of the most sought-after regions in Spain, with a distinctive cultural rhythm and a host of beautiful places to visit. From the Costa Brava to the Barri Gòtic of Barcelona, Tarragona and the Aran Valley, the autonomous community in north east Spain is a hefty parcel of land to explore.
One destination that should definitely make the cut in Catalonia is Lleida. The town of over 130,000 inhabitants is relatively far from the beach resorts on the Mediterranean coast but is nonetheless worth the effort. A foremost festival town, Lleida is replete with exquisite and historic architecture. It comes in many forms, from the Bishop of Lleida's Palace to La Paeria, a site that dates back to Roman times. The pedestrian Rambla d'Aragó is the focal point in town and leads visitors past a slew of wonderful attractions, such as the Biblioteca Pública, Art Nouveau gems and the central marketplace.

AbstractThe growth in the skewness of the distribution of income in the US dates from the past decades when the remuneration to chief executive officers (CEOs) has increased faster than the growth in firm size. An explanation for this rapid increase is the contagion of changes in social norms which, through a process of social comparison, propagates higher pay among corporate executives. By analyzing this increase in pay as a diffusion process, this paper compares three candidate explanations for contagion: director board interlocks, peer groups, and educational networks. Through coupling a Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) model to endogeneity tests, the results indicate that contagion is evident for all three kinds of networks, but only the peer comparison clearly survives the selection tests. These results support the argument of DiPrete, Eirich, and Pittinsky (2010) that remuneration policies that are anchored on peer group comparisons propagate the diffusion of higher pay among chief executive officers in the US, though only with weak evidence for a "leapfrog" effect. We show by an agent-based model that the process does not necessarily explode by an unsustainable aspirational bias because of the dampening of the contagion by CEO turnover and tenure effects. A key implication is that internet boom shifted upward the normative expectations of pay through social comparisons.

I'm just wondering what meds and what dose your kiddo is on if they are on reflux meds. Aryn is on liquid prevacid. we've played with her dose several times the past 2 months but it seems to be no longer helping. She gets 10 mg right now upped from 5 mg.
anyone else on reflux meds?
Comments (9)
Carson is on liquid prevacid too. He gets 5 mL twice a day.
Proud mama to Carson James and angel Chase Gabriel born 01.18.10
Jaycee is on Prevacid and Carafate at the moments.half a prevacid twice a day and one ml. Carafate 4 times a day.Weve also been on Axcid.None have helped and she cant keep anything down for longer than an hour. We are considering surgery.
Married to Jacob29,DSS Jake7,dd Jaycee Elizabeth3,My little fighter cf Together we will find a cure.Excited to welcome #3 In April 2014
Drake takes the pill form of Prevsacid. He takes a pill in the morning (10mg), and 1/2 pill at night. It seems to be keeping him under control for now.
Mommy to Griffin- 1/24/07 and Drake- 05/09/10
Jason takes the dissolving pill form as well, 15 mg in the morning. However, he doesn't take it for GERD, he takes it to help his enzymes.
Alison takes a 15mg Prevacid twice a day, not for reflux but to help her enzymes work better. She has been taking it for almost 2 years now.
Mommy to Alison Margaret, born August 26, 2008 with Cystic Fibrosis
Oh god yes...I'm glad I'm not the only one. Mattie has had severe reflux since he was born. He's on prevacid (AM) and Zantac (PM). They also put him on antibiotics to keep the stuff in his stomach moving. Of course that just gave him thrush so if it's not one thing, it's another. They keep telling me that most kids start to outgrow it around their first birthday. I pray they are right.
Becky--Married to Mike and blessed mother of Mattie who was born on May 27, 2010.�
Chase was on Zantac as a baby, and switched over to Prevacid after his 1st bday. As a baby he had horrible reflux and was constantly having "projectile spitup" as I called it! Ha! After he was on all solids, he didn't have reflux anymore, but he takes the Prevacid now to help the enzymes work better.

La Mirada, California (PRWEB) December 26, 2013
The holiday season has arrived, but not everyone is getting their flu vaccinations. Flu vaccinations are important as they are known to prevent an outbreak of the flu, protect individuals from countless viruses and save lives. After all, who wants to be sick during the holidays?
Healthpointe, Southern California's leading medical provider, is announcing that they are proudly offering flu vaccinations within all of their 10 convenient Urgent Care facilities throughout Southern California region. Their medical staff encourages all patients to receive their vaccinations in order to reduce the likelihood of illness from spreading, especially with the holidays nearing.
"In light of the National Influenza Vaccination Week, I believe this is a perfect time for anyone who has not received a vaccination to get vaccinated now," said Dr. Roman Shulze, the Occupation Medical Director of Healthpointe. "It is imperative to get a flu shot, not only to protect yourself, but also to protect those around you. Fortunate

Attraction Details :
Bhubing Rajanives Palace
Bhubing Rajanives Palace is a beautiful and famous tourist attraction located on Buak Ha Mountain, Suthep sub-district, Mueang district, Chiang Mai province. It was built by the order of King Rama V in 1961 to be used as a residence when he came to stay in Chiang Mai. It was also used to receive royal guests at different occasions. The climate here is cool throughout the year. It is surrounded by charming topography among mild fog in contrast with winter flowers well-arranged along the sidewalks leading to the palace. The internal area comprises Phrueksa Wisuitthikhun Palace, a two-storey building with a ground floor on the hillside; Siri Song Bhubing Palace that used eucalyptus wood for constructing a log cabin; and a two-storey applied Thai style guest house that was used as a residence of royal guests and senior civil servants accompanying the king. In the palace compound, there is a large reservoir with scenic and fresh landscape as well as a fountain to provide freshness. In addition, natural green fern garden aged 600-100 years exists together with a building decorated with flower gardens that are suitable for those who adore fragrant and refreshing flowers and love taking photos. While walking, the tourists can experience a wide variety of roses. If they do not want to walk, they can take a trolley car with a service fee of 300 baht per car (maximum three people). Through the passage, shops providing food or snack are available. In case of impolite dressing eg, shorts, clothes rental is available inside.
The travel to the palace is easy because it is the same way to Doi Suthep, a renowned mountain, which is about 5 km from Chiang Mai. You can take a red pick-up passing in front of Chiang Mai Zoo. You can also stop over to pay homage to Khru Ba Si Wichai Monument. Khru Ba Si Wichai is the one who constructed Phra That Doi Sutheip Temple. The red pick-up services are provided to lead to Doi Suthep, Bhubing Rajanives Palace and Doi Pui Hilltribe Village. The distance from Chiang Mai Zoo to Bhubing Rajanives Palace is about 17 km.
It is daily open from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm. The ticket office opens from 8.30 to 11.30 am and 1.00 to 3.30 pm. The palace is, however, closed from January to the beginning of March because it serves as the royal residence during that time. For additional information, please contact the palace at 66 5322 3065 or www.bhubingpalace.org. The admission fee is 20 baht for adults, 10 baht for children and 50 baht for foreigners.

Modern Germany
Lyndal Roper
In January 1669, Anna Ebeler found herself accused of murdering the woman for whom she had worked as a lying-in-maid. The means were a bowl of soup. Instead of restoring the young mother's strength, the soup, made of malmsey and brandy in place of Rhine wine, had increased her fever. The mother became delirious but, as the watchers at her deathbed claimed, she was of sound mind when she blamed the lying-in-maid for her death. As word spread, other women came forward stating that Ebeler had poisoned their young children too. The child of one had lost its baby flesh and its whole little body had become pitifully thin and dried out. Another's child had been unable to suckle from its mother, even though it was greedy for milk and able to suck vigorously from other women: shortly after, it died in agony. In a third house, an infant had died after its body had suddenly become covered in hot, poisonous pustules and blisters which broke open. The baby's 7-year-old brother suffered from aches and pains caused by sorcery and saw strange visions, his mother suffered from headaches and the whole household started to notice strange growths on their bodies. And a fourth woman found her infant covered with red splotches and blisters, her baby's skin drying out until it could be peeled off like a shirt. The child died most piteously, and its mother's menstruation ceased. All had employed Ebeler as their lying-in-maid. Anna Ebeler was interrogated six times and confessed at the end of the second interrogation, when torture was threatened. She was executed and her body burnt on 23 March 1669— a 'merciful' punishment practised in place of burning in the humane city of Augsburg. She was aged 67. Just two months had elapsed since she was first accused.1

Everyone that has fished a reasonable amount has had a northern experience or two they will never forget. These experiences are broad based and include fish that were caught, ones that got away and the ferocious strikes that can occur when a northern hits a hooked fish you are trying to reel in.

It had been a couple of tough days for our group on Rainy Lake. For some reason, we couldn't seem to zero in on an early summer pattern that would provide consistent walleye action for our anglers.
In an act of desperation, I suggested to a couple of people that we should try something different. I thought perhaps there might still be some northern hanging in the shallow bays and we could target these fish for a morning instead of stubborn walleye.

In what promises to be a major boost for northwest Detroit, the Michigan Economic Growth Authority approved tax incentives Tuesday to help Meijer build a $33-million Meijer store on the grounds of the city's defunct Redford High School.
The state board approved a tax credit worth $3.3 million to help Meijer redevelop the brownfield site at 21431 W. Grand River. The school has been vacant since 2007, and the site covers about 22 acres.
The project has been the subject of intense speculation for some time in the city's Brightmoor district, which has been hit hard by poverty, unemployment and ...

Welcome to the new AT&T Community
We've got a fresh look! Take the tour to see what's new.
Got new Uvers on Monday. I have spent many hours attempting to get 3 laptop running Vista connected wirelessly. I read lots of suggestions and none have worked. Any idea. Only resolution from AT&T is to contact ConnectTech and pay $$ to have them help me. I also have 2 machines with XP and no issue getting them connected. It has to be something in Vista that is keeping me from connecting.
On one of your working/connected Windows XP computers follow the steps below and copy the working settings to your vista computers.
Start > Connect To > Show All Connections > Right click the wireless connection the computer it is connected to > Properties > Go to the "Wireless Networks tab" at the top > At the "Prefered Networks" section highlight the network it is connected to and click properties > Here at the "Association" Tab It shows the working settings. Follow the same steps on vista and make sure these settings are the same. Hope this helps. ^.^
When I look at the the Network Connection details the Autoconfiguration for IPv4 has a IP number which isn't in the rate per the 2wire listing. the ip 169.254.178.111. I have tried to release and renew it but it won't allow it. My ip range ins 184.108.40.206 - 149
I have logged in as administratior and done a ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew I get an error unable to contact your dhcp
It looks like you have this machine configured with an static IP address (169.254.178.111) and not configured to use DHCP. To change follow the following steps:
1. In the Network Connections folder, select the connection whose settings you want to change.
2. Use any of the following techniques to open the properties dialog box for the selected connection:
> Select the connection and click Change Settings Of This Connection.
> Right-click the connection icon and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
> Double-click the connection icon to open the Status dialog box and then click the Properties button on the General tab.
3. In the list of installed network components, select Internet Protocol Version
4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and then click the Properties button.
4. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box,

Finally choose "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically"

That's not a static IP. That's the default IP that Windows assigns when it cannot get one via DHCP.
It looks like when the machine is attempting to get a new IP the process times out and a new IP doesn't get assigned so the system automatically assigns the 169 address. I log in as admin and release the IP and attempt to reset and I get an error unable to get new ip. Process times out. I now have all but one laptop connect but with XP and Vista except for this one machine.
So if layer 3 isn't working, let's discuss layer 2.
Does it say it's connected to the wireless network? Have you tried removing the connection and re-adding it, re-entering the SSID and key?
Also, have you tried connecting via an Ethernet cable just to rule out any kind of networking issue?
On Tuesday the day after U Verse was installed I could connect via ethernet card. I tried this morning and no I can not connect via ethernet. When you look at the graphics it appears I getting to the gateway but not beyond. It says connected locally but has a big RED X from the gateway out. So it has to be something on the machine that is keeping me from connecting. I now have 2 XP and 2 Vista machines connected plus my corporate laptop. I have tried to use system restore back to last week prior to attempting to set up the machine but only days this week are available
I'd uninstall the wireless connection on Vista, then restart the laptop. The wireless NIC will be auto-detected and reinstalled, effectively flushing out any wacky settings and configurations that existed previously.
Then see if it detects your 2Wire setup and wants to connect properly.
I uninstalled and shut down and then rebooted and it keeps assign the same ip
I finally gave up and decided to do a system restore to the machine. While that took a while I figured that since I had previously connected via ethernet that it has to be something that changed with all the "fixes" I had tried to get Vista working with U Verse. I was successful. When the machine rebooted after the system restore both the ethernet and the wireless became available. I think the lesson learned here is to first do a system restore point prior to attempting to connect to U Verse with Vista. That would have saved me many many hours and frustration. I also think that the support I concerning my issue was very poor. The only resolution that both the tech who installed and Tier 2 support could provide was to have me pay for ConnectTech. Given the amount of hours I spent and all the suggestions and "try this" that bill would have been huge.
Ultimately it really didn't have anything to do with U-Verse itself; your computer was having a networking problem. There's nothing special about connecting U-Verse versus any other service.
Yes, tech support would've cost you a lot, but in fairness AT&T (or any Internet provider) can't be expected to do your PC support for free.

I agree, but many people think they should do it for free.......I paid for internet access, make it work.....
I am not disagree with any of the last statements. But from a customer perspective there should have be a assistance because my internet which was using a 2wire DLS router through AT&T was working prior to the new service there should have at least have been some suggested path forward. Spending 8 hours in my house for the install and not providing any information on how the TV's work, not identifying support sites to visit and walking away from the customer home with only limited use of the product is not appropriate.

Gemvara vintage-inspired stud jewelry are a classic that you'll wear your whole life. Every pair of our stud earrings is made to order in your choice of gems and precious metals. Most jewelry manufacturers compromise on the quality of the gems they select for earrings, choosing a lower quality than gems for rings. They'll even tell you that quality doesn't matter for earrings because you can't see them while you are wearing them. At Gemvara, we hand select each gem for your vintage-inspired stud jewelry using the same care and quality standards as we use for our gorgeous gemstone rings. Pairs are perfectly matched for maximum impact. We think classics like vintage-inspired stud jewelry should be the same investment quality as all your beautiful jewelry, a quality you'll be proud to wear.

Grand St. + Etsy
To everyone in the Grand St. Community –
Today we are announcing that Grand St. has agreed to be acquired by Etsy, subject to closing conditions.
As you may know, Etsy is an amazing company for handmade goods and a true pioneer in both marketplace development and the maker movement. We have always admired them from afar, especially their dedication to craft and their commitment to their B Corp certification.
While this is a big step for us as a company, we plan to change very little about the site and your experience of Grand St. in the near term. We exist to bring you the best in indie electronics from designers and makers all over the world, and we'll continue to do that at grandst.com. We will continue to launch new features and have a few coming out soon that we think you'll love.
Simply put: the rise of the individual, small-batch maker is changing product development, production and commerce. The process of making physical goods is shifting as consumers are more interested in unique and personalized products. This leads to a greater variety of products, and a fulfilling path to growth for creators. Etsy knows this and everything they do is designed to welcome this shift and embrace it.
We are very excited to be part of a company with such overlapping values, where we'll have a chance to accelerate our mission of helping independent makers grow and scale. Thank you for your continued support,
we really appreciate it.
Amanda, Aaron, and Joe
PS — Questions? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, we always love hearing from you
Introducing the Grand St. Marketplace
Today we are really excited to announce the Grand St. Marketplace.
Our goal has always been to create a better way for hardware creators to find an audience and get their products to market. For this new version of Grand St. we wanted to create a flexible solution that addressed indie hardware makers at different stages in the development cycle. We are launching a self-serve platform today that offers three ways to discover and distribute new hardware:
1. Pre-Orders: These are products that are not yet widely available, but will be in 1-6 months. If you are listing a Pre-Order, note that Grand St. takes 0% commission on these sales. This is possible because of the percentage we take on other types of products — our goal is to grow the entire ecosystem. We know that as a consumer, pre-orders are risky, so we are doing things a bit differently. We hold onto the funds until the product is shipping, so if the product fails to ship you will be refunded.
2. Beta: With Beta products, you can help contribute to the product development process. Beta products are evolving based on user feedback. When you purchase a Beta product, you'll have access to a special discussion section with the testing group. For makers, the goal is to use Beta as a way to build a better product and to gather momentum, whether the next stop is crowdfunding or straight to retail. Grand St. takes an 8% commission on sales for Beta products.
3. Shop: This is for consumer-ready products that are 100% functional, offer guaranteed customer satisfaction and are currently shipping. It's the gadget shop of your dreams, but for real. Grand
St. takes an 8% commission on sales for Shop products.
In addition, you'll notice we completely re-designed the site to make room for these new products, and today we are launching with hundreds of new products…more than we have sold in the past year.
Hope you love it.
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com with feedback!
Happy 2014 from Grand St.
When we started Grand St. we wanted to build the best way to bring creative technology to the world. Over the past year, the community that has come together around Grand St. has been amazing, and fuels the work that we do every day. Thank you for your support, we
<3 you.
As we look forward to the year ahead, I wanted to glance back at a few of our favorite moments from 2013.
1. We released our Android app in June. Our team is extremely passionate about mobile and our goal was to make a mobile Grand St. experience that was beautiful and easy to use. We were selected as one of 11 "Most Beautiful Apps" by the Android Design Team for both their summer and winter lists. Go download it here if you haven't already.
2. We launched Grand St. to the public in July. After a few months of closed beta, we opened Grand St. to the world. The most exciting moment for us was seeing orders come in from all over the country and the world. Grand St.'s community grew a lot in the second half of 2013.
3. We worked with hundreds of creators. The core belief that informs everything we do at Grand St. is that anyone with an idea should be able to make and sell a product, and our goal is to make that easy. What excites us most is the amazing lineup of products we have for 2014.
4. Released some super cool hacks. We sell creative technology, emphasis on creative. And we have fun doing it. Check out these posts on jsTar and Mindwave Mobile. Our #impcube twitter contest was a worldwide trending topic in October.
5. Put together an awesome holiday box for our very first holiday season. The tweets, photos and emails that we have seen from all the Grand St. gifting has made us smile.
Keep an eye out for us in 2014….we are looking forward to introducing you to more awesome products and creators this year.
Today Only: Grand St. Comes to You
It's our first Cyber Monday at Grand St., and we are excited to feature a great selection of indie electronics this year. If you haven't already, check out the site for some amazing gift ideas.
This year, we are also trying something new. Grand St. is all about introducing you to new technology products, and for our friends and fans in Manhattan, we put together an On-Demand Pop-Up Shop, powered by the fine folks at WunWun.
Download the WunWun app and hit "Request Pop-Up" and a WunWun Helper will come to your location with a selection of Grand St. products that you can test, play with, and purchase.
We like to think of it as bringing the store to you.
After all, the best part of experiencing a new product is to see it in person and
play with it yourself. Try it out! Supplies are limited for now but our enthusiasm certainly isn't.
The Long Tail of Hardware
I often think about that Forbes piece "Why Best Buy is Going out of Business…Gradually" that was published nearly two years ago. You probably read
it too; as of today it has around 3 million views. The emotion that author Larry Downes generated with that prescient article was overwhelming — like a collective "we can do better" echoing through the internet.
Two years later, and Downes
is more right than ever. Through Grand St. I've had a front-row seat to the emerging hardware movement, and the big realization I've come to is that it's not just Best Buy that's going to fade away, it's our entire notion of "Consumer Electronics". It will be gradual, but there are already signals that indicate a shift is happening.
It's a tailwind that's supporting a growing long-tail of hardware and a new kind of creator. Continue reading

This paper presents a tool for the visual analysis of navigation patterns of moving entities, such as users, virtual characters or vehicles in 3D virtual environments (VEs). The tool, called VU-Flow, provides a set of interactive visualizations that highlight interesting navigation behaviors of single or groups of moving entities that were the VE together or separately. The visualizations help to improve the design of VEs and to study the navigation behavior of users, e.g., during controlled experiments. Besides VEs, the proposed techniques could also be applied to visualize real-world data recorded by positioning systems, allowing one to employ VU-Flow in domains such as urban planning, transportation, and emergency response

Vietnam Vet Paints Vivid Picture of First Rescue Mission
I try to teach my children that whenever they see someone who is a veteran of our armed services they should walk up to that person and simply say 'thank you'.
I try to teach my children that whenever they see someone who is a veteran of our armed services they should walk up to that person and simply say 'thank you'.
Just when you think you've seen the best video of a returning soldier surprising his family another one comes along to remind you that you definitely haven't.
The NHL's Arizona Coyotes saved the season's best moment for the last game.
Last week, Governor Greg Abbott made the announcement that he was going to designate Monday, February 2nd as Chris Kyle Day in Texas.
Ben Weber died Wednesday at the age 91. The World War II veteran was the special guest speaker at last Tuesday's Huntington ISD Veterans Day event.
Here's a story for Veterans Day that will give you all the feels.
On this date in 1918, in the 11th month, the 11th hour of the 11th day, World War I officially came to an end. Originally called Armistice Day, legislation in 1954 officially changed the name to Veterans Day to honor all of our soldiers.
Lady Antebellum's '7FOR7' project has been a treat to watch as it unfolds. Together, the trio are bringing seven surprises to seven fans in seven days. Their latest episode will hit especially close to home for many country fans, as the bring joy to an Army wife.
Luke Bryan has promised to honor the troops in a big way. The singer, with help from a big beer company, will offer some very lucky servicemen and women an all-expense-paid trip to Chicago for one of his jaw-dropping concerts.
Whatever good Pat McAfee and Coby Fleener do on the field simply cannot compete with what they do off of it.
It's a treat to see members of the military who surprise their families by returning home unannounced. This video proves that the sheer joy of that is as strong as ever.
18 years and it just keeps getting better.
Every Veterans Day since 1996, Huntington I.S.D. has put on a program honoring our soldiers. What started as a gathering of about 25-30 veterans at the Huntington football field, has now blossomed into a full 2 hour spectacle at the high school's main auditorium in which this year nearly 150 veterans were in attendance and recognized.

Lost Planet 2 Hands-On Campaign ImpressionsBy Sterling McGarvey - Posted Apr 15, 2010
Although Lost Planet 2 utilizes similar mechanics to its 2007 predecessor, it feels like a dramatically different approach to Capcom's series. On the surface, it seems rather obvious, based on the aesthetic transition from frosty tundra to wet jungles, but at its roots, this sequel has taken a turn toward another popular Capcom franchise; at least, a Capcom franchise that's wildly popular in Japan. I invested some time in a late build of LP2, and while my disc doesn't represent the complete product you'll have a chance to play in a little over a month, I've gleaned one fairly indisputable observation from it: Bring some friends over, or find some online. You probably won't want to go through this one alone.
Though the first game had a passable plot, Capcom seems to have decided to make the sequel less character-driven and more like Monster Hunter, at least from my impressions. If the big raids and swords are a turnoff, but the idea of teaming up with three other people to tackle big battles is appealing to you, then you'll feel cozy with what's at hand. Lost Planet 2 seems much less plot-driven than its predecessor and more focused on creating set pieces that will force you to work alongside your compatriots to get from spot to spot. The action opens up in the snowy locales of E.D.N. III, but quickly shifts to newer geography.
I've never had much of a taste for playing Monster Hunter in solitude, and the transition from a focused single-player story to a multiplayer-centric game is one that I'm still not completely sold on at this point. Capcom's focus seems to be lasered in on creating a sense of playing online throughout the experience, and from what I've played, it includes simulating some of the less pleasant aspects. Pausing the game (yes, pausing the game) is an ordeal, at least in this build. I got up to fix myself something to drink while the timer counted down between stages and it booted me back to the start menu without saving. I'm not thrilled. For now, I'll attribute it to having an incomplete build, but if these features make the final product, it'll be infuriating.
Once you're in the action, Lost Planet 2's campaign loads you up with objectives that'll force you to work in tandem with friends. Granted, there's no shortage of big monster takedowns, but there are a lot of environmental scenarios that will push you and friends to tackle together. As partners, the A.I. doesn't come off as overly dimwitted, though there were times I wish they'd prioritized attacking an energy-sapping sniper instead of a less-threatening grunt.
In one early mission, I was tasked with destroying a mining factory by overloading the core machine. It was a two-tiered operation, as my A.I. cohorts and I had to activate six power cores to turn on the operation. Easier said than done, of course, since each core was guarded by heavily armed guards and lethal turrets. After a few minutes of back and forth battles (and some teeth-gritting shootouts), I was able to get all six cores up and running. With the machine running, the gameplay shifted to a "defend the base" style scenario, in which I and my A.I. pals needed to guard four giant drills as they bored their way to a massive system overload that would bring down the mine. Waves of enemies jumped out to deactivate the drills as we fought to keep them active for 90 seconds.
Despite the passable teammate A.I., Lost Planet 2 comes off as even more multiplayer-driven than I'd ever anticipated from Capcom. We're still about a month off, but based on what I've played, I find myself questioning if the team's focus on a Monster Hunter-like multiplayer experience hasn't come at the complete expense of a much more interesting single-player campaign. I don't doubt that plenty of gamers will enjoy what Lost Planet 2 offers them, their friend on the couch, and a few more buddies online. But if you're a gamer who likes kicking back and playing through games solo, be warned.

Just wanted to say that Red Dead Redemption is going to spank almost every up and coming game besides Halo Reach.
Bring on the Hate Mail Bitches!Posted: May 9, 2010 7:42 PM
I want to know if the energy supply aspect is still a main part of the game. I got annoyed with the first one when I had to constantly abandon my current task or fight in order to go hunt down some little orbs to "keep me wanrm."Posted: May 5, 2010 6:36 PM
i really wished they would have kept the main characters from the first one they were cool but getting to play as the snow pirates that is just as good when i read this it said that it takes place from 4 solders prospectives i wasnt to found of that but i seen a 15 minute multiplayer video on g4on demand and this game looks killer but i will wait till it goes down some im just buying all my games used from gamestop now they got great deals i hope this game gets sold there soon usedPosted: May 2, 2010 8:57 PM
From all the trailers it looks like theres a good story. When they say it's not character driven im pretty sure they're saying the story doesn't revolve around the character like halo or uncharted, so that they can make it co-op. It's kinda of dumb to have 3 master chiefs or drakes running around isn't it?Posted: April 21, 2010 12:14 PM
Ryne S.
Look at all the trailers and video footage of the game and you will see theres no story driven game here. Why don't you do research before making yourself look bad. The article reads its not character driven like the 1st one...meaning story. As I said I'm not buying a 60 dollar game for co-op multiplayer with no story. Sorry you don't understand.Posted: April 21, 2010 3:13 AM
Roomer that lost planet is Six player co-op and sixty player multiplayerPosted: April 19, 2010 7:12 PM
@ Lowkevmic
And all the 360 has is Halo 3, Gears of War 1/2, L4D 1/2, Mass Effect 1/2. Sorry if Sony does something called diversity where the entire console isn't based off of shooters and one franchise (maybe two, Gears is pretty popular anymore), but you know what they say about fanboys and facts.
Anyways, to digress looks awesome and should be a first week buy for me. I still can't find anything about 4 player local multiplayer (if anyone can confirm that would be great) but even if it isn't included I'll be getting it anyways. The demo was awesome, and the closer we get to release date the more excited I get.Posted: April 17, 2010 3:32 AM
Ryne S.
I was going to buy this game but I'll wait until it's cheap because I love story in my games and I'm not going to spend 60 dollars on just multiplayer.Posted: April 16, 2010 5:09 PM
Multiplayer is gonna be fun. But I really enjoyed the single player on the first one. So I'm hoping that they won't stray too far from the single player aspect of the game. Actually who cares, this game is gonna be awesome!!Posted: April 16, 2010 3:50 PM
Cathartic Denoument
Well, if I remember correctly, it was really Co-Op Multiplayer that the fans of the 1st game were mostly asking for. So that may not be so bad, once the game's out.
And that trailer's freakin' AWESOME, omg. LoLPosted: April 16, 2010 3:02 PM
i need to make some friendsPosted: April 16, 2010 2:56 PM
@xdeadwaterx- It's more than obvious that you're a PS3 fanboy. Because first of all Lost Planet was a Xbox 360 Exclusive. Let's not get into some argument about who has the better exclusives, when you can count on one hand how many good mentionable PS3 originals there are: GOW3, Uncharted 1&2, Infamous, Killzone, Resistance, and MGS4. Thats about it!! As for FFXIII, the only reason why they made that originally for the 360 was because they knew it would sell. Frankly that's why a majority of Multiplatform games make their way to the 360 first, because the developer and publishers know it will sell more copies on the 360 then the PS3.Posted: April 16, 2010 2:28 PM
LOL funny how all multiplatform games are directed to the 360 *sigh* Is it because the 360 doesnt get much good exclusive content? And I love how they came out with the commercial for FFXIII when its originally a PS exclusive, well, was. Well I hear PS3 might be getting portal 2 so that should be cool, maybe.Posted: April 16, 2010 1:29 PM
In 10 years? In 10 years it went from a frozen wasteland to lush overgrown jungles!?Posted: April 16, 2010 12:27 PM
can already see some plot coming making the snow pirates look like merciless killers (besides the basic premise of the game of course) who knows maybe they will be in this onePosted: April 16, 2010 12:10 PM
Sterling let's play!Posted: April 16, 2010 11:40 AM
el oh el
looks better than the first one, but dont get me wronge i liked the first game just the ending battle, giant robots wait ive seen that somewhere else............. Power rangers dunah dun da dun, but all im saying is this game has alot of potential and i hope it can live up to more than just standerds.Posted: April 15, 2010 6:12 PM
Hm that does kinda have me worried a little bit. I can't really play Live due to a slow connection but hopefully I can find some way to make it work. Or hopefully the final build will be better than it seems.
Guess I'll just have to wait and see.Posted: April 15, 2010 5:33 PM

What have the coaches been saying in their weekly news conferences? Tristan H. Cockcroft takes a quick-hitting look at the goings-on for each of the 16 AFC teams:
AFC East
Buffalo Bills: QB J.P. Losman suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in Week 3, according to the team's official Web site. "It's a Grade 1 [sprain], so that's a couple of weeks probably," said coach Dick Jauron on Sunday. "When he came back he said he could go if needed, but as the day moves on it's just going to get worse and worse and stiffer and stiffer." The Bills won't formally announce how much time Losman will miss until Wednesday, though it's likely he'll be out until after the team's Week 6 bye, if not longer. With Losman sidelined, Trent Edwards becomes the Bills' starting QB in Weeks 4 and 5, not terrible weeks for a passer since they're home contests against the Jets and Cowboys. Still, those can be opportunistic defenses, and Edwards was only 10-for-20 passing for 97 yards (4.9 yards per attempt) and an interception in relief in Week 3. He's not a useful pickup, but his starting role is secure. QB Craig Nall, who was released at the end of training camp, was re-signed Monday to back up Edwards. Most notable for fantasy as a result of Losman's injury: WR Lee Evans, who has only five receptions for 29 yards in three games, becomes a less attractive buy-low candidate in the short term.
Miami Dolphins: Once expected to be one of the better units in the game this season, the Dolphins' defense has struggled through its first three games, ranking 20th overall (336.0 yards per game) and 26th in points per game allowed (28.0). It didn't help that MLB Zach Thomas (concussion) was sidelined in Week 3, though DE Jason Taylor, the 2006 defensive player of the year, accepts a good share of the blame. "I [stink] right now," Taylor told the New York Daily News. "It's as simple as that, so there's your headline." Still, coach Cam Cameron expressed confidence in a rebound during his Monday news conference. "I know [Taylor will] do whatever he can to get himself and our entire defense playing better," Cameron said, according to the Dolphins' Web site. Fantasy owners shouldn't trust the Dolphins' defense until it begins to show signs of improvement on the field, though with matchups against the Raiders, Texans and Browns due up next, that could happen quickly.
New England Patriots: Though the Patriots rank first in total defense (207.0 yards per game) and third in fewest points per game allowed (11.7), coach Bill Belichick during his Monday news conference addressed concerns about the unit's performance in the red zone thus far. "We have to do a better job down there," he said, according to the team's official Web site. "You can't let them in the end zone every time they cross the 20-yard line. It's ridiculous. It's a combination of bad coaching and bad playing. Hopefully we can do a better job going forward." Patriots opponents are a perfect 5-for-5 in the red zone through three games, something fantasy owners of opposing players should note. While a matchup against the Patriots is on paper a terrible one, it's the opponent's yardage total that's more likely to be held in check than his scoring potential. Owners of the Cowboys' Marion Barber, the Patriots' Week 6 opponent, for instance, should be pretty happy to hear that.
New York Jets: Thomas Jones managed his first 100-yard effort of his Jets career in Week 3, earning the praise of coach Eric Mangini. "I was pleased with Thomas Jones," said Mangini, according to the team's official Web site. "He had somewhere close to 100 yards in the second half, which is always a good second half." Mangini was off by a tad in his estimation of Jones' second half. Jones managed 92 yards on 19 carries after halftime against the Dolphins. Still, that's a rather encouraging performance, and it helps ease concerns that Jones might not yet be fully healed from his calf injury. With RB Leon Washington complementing him nicely and Jones himself back at 100 percent, Jones should roll off a few productive games the next several weeks. Keep in mind the Jets get the Bills (Weeks 4 and 8), Giants (Week 5) and Bengals (Week 7) in four of the next five weeks.
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens: Coach Brian Billick revealed in his Monday news conference that he pulled Steve McNair in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game after the QB "tweaked" his groin. McNair has been limited by the injury since the regular-season opener, though Billick was confident that the injury would improve this week. However, Billick also stressed that he wouldn't be afraid to lift McNair for backup Kyle Boller in future contests, perhaps a result of McNair's so-so play recently. Boller isn't anything intriguing for fantasy owners, but he's a little better at flinging the deep ball, something fantasy owners of WRs like Mark Clayton and Demetrius Williams would prefer. Keep tabs on Baltimore's quarterback situation the next couple weeks, because it'll have a profound impact on those players' numbers looking forward. TE Todd Heap suffered a mild concussion on Sunday, but is expected to play in Week 4 against the Browns. He'll be someone to monitor during practice this week, but Heap does have an extensive history of minor bumps and bruises, yet he continues to find ways to play through them.
Cincinnati Bengals: Rudi Johnson left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with a hamstring injury, though the Cincinnati Post reports there was no word late Monday on his status for Week 4. He endured a terrible game up to that point. He ran 17 times for only 9 yards on the day. Kenny Watson, meanwhile, managed 60 yards and a score on nine carries in relief. Fortunately for Johnson, the Bengals get an extra day off before their Week 4 contest; they play on Monday against the Patriots. Still, don't be shocked if Johnson sits out knowing there's another week for him to rest in Week 5, when the Bengals have their bye. Watson would start if Johnson sits, and is a worthy pickup in that event.
Cleveland Browns: Coach Romeo Crennel said in his Monday news conference that TE Kellen Winslow left the Week 3 game with a bruised shoulder. "I'll be all right," Winslow said following Sunday's contest, according to the team's Web site. The Browns expect Winslow to suit up for their Week 4 contest against the Ravens, though because that's a tricky matchup for him, his status should be monitored throughout the week. Fortunately, though, Winslow has at least four catches and 83 yards in each of his three contests, a level of consistency fantasy owners can rarely expect from a tight end. He has averaged five receptions and 90 receiving yards per game thus far, and been targeted 26 times total, a sure sign he's a favorite target of QB Derek Anderson. A healthy Winslow is clearly a trusted weekly fantasy TE at this stage.
Pittsburgh Steelers: WR Hines Ward suffered a knee injury during the third quarter of Sunday's game, though the Beaver County Times reports that an MRI taken afterward didn't reveal any damage. "Right now, it appears to be a bone bruise," said coach Mike Tomlin, according to the team's official Web site. "I'll leave it at that. Of course, there will be further tests and we'll have more information on that area later on." That Ward hasn't missed a game since 2004, and has caught a pass in a team-record 136 consecutive games, bodes well for his chances of playing in Week 4. Still, if Ward suffers a setback, Nate Washington would likely get the start in his place.
AFC South
Houston Texans: The Texans were hit hard by injuries in Week 3. RB Ahman Green left early in the second quarter with a sprained left knee, though the Houston Chronicle reports that an MRI exam taken Monday revealed no damage. "It's nothing bad, just swelling," Green said. "I'm taking it one day at a time." If Green can't play in Week 4, either Samkon Gado, who managed 12 yards and a score on six carries in relief of Green on Sunday, or Ron Dayne, who was inactive with a chest injury, would get the start. Dayne is expected to be 100 percent for Week 4, so a time-share between the two could be in order if Green needs to sit out, limiting both Dayne's and Gado's fantasy appeal. WR Jacoby Jones, meanwhile, suffered a separated shoulder in his first career start on Sunday. "I thought I fell on it bad and banged it or bruised it," Jones told the Houston Chronicle. "But when I tried to move it, I could hear it. It didn't sound right. I knew something was wrong." Jones will miss two to three weeks, and with WR Andre Johnson (knee) also on the sidelines, the Texans are down to Andre Davis and Kevin Walter as their Week 4 starters. QB Matt Schaub will have his work cut out for him in the next couple games, and Texans offensive players should be downgraded as a result.
Indianapolis Colts: Perhaps the most improved aspect of the Colts this season has been their defense, particularly against the run, where they rank 14th (95.7 yards per game) after ranking dead last in the category in 2006 (173.0). "We're playing better against the run," coach Tony Dungy said during his Monday news conference, according to the team's official Web site. "I do think we're more physical." Interestingly enough, the Colts have accomplished their current ranking despite the occasional absences of LBs Freddie Keiaho and Rob Morris. Morris' (abdominal) status for Week 4 wasn't addressed on Monday, but his presence would only boost the team's defensive line. With those two, DTs Raheem Brock and Ed Johnson, and FS Bob Sanders, the Colts' defense is a vastly improved unit, even if it's not yet an elite one. That's something to keep in mind when considering opposing running backs. Facing the Colts is no longer a slam dunk matchup.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Though his numbers aren't exactly eye-popping for fantasy, QB David Garrard has done nothing but please his coach, Jack Del Rio. "What's happening now is David is gaining in confidence," said Del Rio in his Monday news conference, according to the team's official Web site. "He's always been a playmaker, with his feet and throwing the ball. He's become a little more accurate and certain of where to go with the ball." Garrard is one of only three QBs without an interception through three games -- Jeff Garcia and Chad Pennington are the others -- and he's seventh in the league in passer rating (103.8). Continue to play the matchups with Garrard, though he's seemingly a safe No. 2 option for fantasy teams at this stage. Del Rio also addressed comments by Matt Jones' agent regarding the WR's inactive status for Week 3. "My thoughts are that first and foremost my responsibility is to make decisions that are best for this football team," he said. "We're going to take the best 45 guys into each week. It's always about what's best for the football team." Jones' stock has clearly dropped, and with his agent requesting he be traded if he continues to be deactivated for games, this is a situation that could only get messier. At this stage, it might be best for both Jones and the Jaguars if he is granted a change of scenery. Fantasy owners, though, can feel free to cut him.
Tennessee Titans: QB Vince Young missed one series of Monday's contest due to wrist cramps, though coach Jeff Fisher seemed unconcerned in his postgame news conference. "He was just dehydrated and cramping, so we gave him an IV," said Fisher, according to the team's official Web site. "He came back and was fine." Young finished the game with 14-for-22 passing for 164 yards, two TDs and one interception, his most effective game as a passer so far this season. Granted, it helped that he faced a favorable matchup against the Saints' secondary, but this should be a good building block toward what so many believed might be a breakout season from him. Young was an efficient game manager and looked comfortable in the pocket, and should have his share of respectable fantasy efforts looking ahead, especially against softer defenses.
AFC West
Denver Broncos: QB Jay Cutler suffered a mild ankle sprain during Sunday's game, though the team's official Web site reports that an MRI exam Monday revealed no damage. He said he should be able to practice Wednesday. "Everything's fine," Cutler said. "We've got a lot of time left. I'll take it easy these next couple of days. Maybe it'll be a little sore on Wednesday, but I should still be able to practice and get a full week in." Patrick Ramsey would presumably assume the reins if the worst happens and Cutler suffers a setback, though Ramsey's shaky history says he wouldn't be trustworthy to fantasy teams. The Denver Post also reports that Cecil Sapp was used more extensively at fullback than Mike Bell in Week 3, after the two split time in Week 2. That, as well as Selvin Young's emergence, continues to demonstrate how much Bell's stock has slipped in Denver. At this point, owners in deep leagues can feel free to let him go.
Kansas City Chiefs: With WR Eddie Kennison (partially torn hamstring) out for a second consecutive game on Sunday, rookie Dwayne Bowe stepped up with a breakout effort. As the starting flanker for a second consecutive week, Bowe hauled in another TD pass, totaling five receptions for 71 yards on the day. Coach Herm Edwards told the Kansas City Star that he considers Bowe an integral part of the offense, much like RB Larry Johnson or TE Tony Gonzalez. "I told him all week: 'Your number is going to get dialed,'" Edwards said. "He's big and he's powerful. That's why we drafted the guy. When you think you've covered him, you really haven't, because he's going to jump up and catch the ball." Expect inconsistency from Bowe in his rookie season, especially accounting for the shaky nature of the Chiefs' QB options, but he's looking as if he can help fantasy owners right now, and not simply those in keeper leagues. Edwards, incidentally, said earlier in the week he plans to shift Bowe to the "X" position after Kennison's healthy return, a sign that he views the rookie as a starter for the full season. Pick Bowe up if he's available.
Oakland Raiders: The Raiders added rookie QB JaMarcus Russell to their 53-man roster on Monday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. With the team releasing CB Duane Starks, the Raiders now have four quarterbacks on their roster, a surprise considering most expected the team to cut QB Andrew Walter instead. That could be an indication that the injury to Josh McCown's left foot, which forced him from the Week 3 contest, could be a bigger deal than the team is letting on. Coach Lane Kiffin said during his Monday news conference that other teams are interested in acquiring a QB -- perhaps Walter -- and that the team wouldn't carry four QBs for long. Kiffin offered no further update on McCown's status on Monday, though he should know more on Wednesday. If McCown can't play, Daunte Culpepper, who completed eight of 14 passes for 118 yards in relief on Sunday, would get the start in Week 4. Neither is much of a fantasy option, though.
San Diego Chargers: Among the Chargers' problems in compiling a 1-2 record in their first three games has been the lackluster performance of their running game. "There's no question we need to run the football," said coach Norv Turner during his Monday news conference, according to the team's Web site. "That's what this team has been built around: the runner. We need to continue to get back to running the football the way we are capable of running it." Unfortunately for RB LaDainian Tomlinson, the Chargers have faced a good share of eight-man fronts, as opponents key on shutting him down coming off his record-setting 2006 campaign. "We need to get him in space and the variety of screen-type plays and swings," Turner said. "Getting the ball thrown to him quick certainly will help him." Tomlinson's owners hardly need to be told to be patient with him, but as he's the focus of increased defensive attention, expecting him to be a two-TD-per-game performer is asking too much this season. Expect the Chargers to get things straightened out, with Tomlinson still capable of 20-plus TDs and better than 100 yards per game the rest of the year.

Currently, Frank says an earlier model of the SMT is being tested in a high-profile clinic in Germany as well as at the University of Pennsylvania. Frank says the SMT customer base would be primarily otolaryngologists and neurologists.
"The whole test is based on the very simple observation that when you sniff and you detect a smell, you take a smaller sniff than if you inhaled and didn't detect a smell,?Frank explains. "For someone with normal sense of smell, the size of the sniff when detecting an odor is cut in half. For someone who cannot detect odor, the size of the sniff for just air and the size of the sniff for an odor are the same.?
In humans, Frank says the sense of smell is one of our less robust senses. He says it's more susceptible to harm because there is less neurological machinery in the brain devoted to processing the sense of smell. "So, that's the reason it might be acting a little bit like the canary in the mineshaft. Because it's more fragile, when you have insult to the brain, it may be sensitive to loss earlier in th

Statement Nails
Held in the iconic white tents at Bryant Park in February, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week 2010 in New York featured a bevy of unbelievable fall styles, as well as an array of nail trends that made our hearts go pitter-patter. Some of the major nail styles that populated the runways this season included dark enamel in shades of green and blue for a touch of drama; grays and browns lent an edgy, modern feel; neutral shades were of course present for a clean, natural look; and the en vogue nail shape? Short and oval. Another major trend on the runways was textured nails, which allowed nail techs to get extremely creative with their nail designs. Nail teams used a multitude of techniques including polish layering and matte lacquers, as well as elements like crushed crystals and glass on nails.
Here's a look at some of the beautiful runway nails created by the highly-skilled nail teams (including China Glaze, CND, Dashing Diva, Deborah Lippman, Minx, OPI and Zoya) that awed the fashion-forward crowds. Plus, get the scoop on nail trends and backstage antics from some of the nail techs that worked the shows!
