Think about it....anybody that is not happy with their current TV service can just go to Best Buy or Amazon and pick up a set-top box and then go online and sign up for the service and begin watching Live TV ...no need to make an appointment for installation.
And since the set-top box will have a WiDi receiver, you can use your WiDi enabled smartphone, tablet or PC to watch stuff from the internet on your TV....ie. Netflix or youtube. Plus WiDi will allow for a new breed of smartphone and tablet apps and games that allow you to interact with your TV. For example, apps that allow you to pick and choose shows to record or games that use your smartphone as a controller.
To big of a potential $$$$$ maker to ignore,nothing ventured nothing gained I say.
Sentiment: Buy
flushing money down the terrlet they are.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Yeah sounds like a HUGE mistake, they can't compete with all the really good players in this field. so sad so bad.
Sentiment: Sell
What's sad is a gutless coward shut in like you that hides behind stupid aliases & spews hate trash 24/7,real good.
Sentiment: Buy
Why do you misrepresent this product so much? It's a good thing Intel's future isn't dependent on this product.
For your first claim to be true the consumer must already be paying for cable Internet service or equivalent from Verizon FIOS. If the consumer has an HDTV package from their cable company they can already watch live TV. Intel's Web TV doesn't offer a la carte selection of programming nor does it lower the cost of content to the consumer. It may offer several options of bundled programming but the cost to the consumer isn't expected to be any less than what they already pay the cable company.
WiDi uses a short range wireless technology to deliver video to another device in the same room - but not to other rooms in the house. There is a noticeable delay from the time the material is displayed on the source device and the WIDI client. The delay makes it less useful for applications sensitive to timing and interactivity.
Intel Web TV can't compete against Netflix or most other movie streaming services in affordability because the movie streaming services are already built into most Smart TV's and virtually every DVD player already, while consumers have to go buy another box for the Intel service. Further, Netflix starts at about $8.00 a month and the Internet service will cost just as much as the cable's HDTV package. Those typically start at about $80 a month and more.
I also note you failed to mention the reasons why consumers won't even consider putting that device in their home and that is the built-in camera designed to turn the occupant's privacy & behaviorial profile into a revenue stream for sale to third parties.
Intel is #$%$ a lot of things right, especially in CPU's and SoC's for mobility. However, Intel's Web TV is misguided and presently on a trajectory for failure.
So is there a way Intel can participate in the media and entertainment business? Yes, but they need to build on their strength rather than get distracted with a project that tries to make a business model selling-off consumer's privacy to the highest bidder.
Today nearly all Smart TV's today use ARM chips. The very first thing Intel needs to do is leverage the performance of its new Atom chips (Clovertrail Plus) to convince TV and DVD makers to put Atom chips inside their devices instead of those from ARM. There are a lot of reasons device makers may want to make the switch. Intel's chip performance is a big benefit because even new Smart TV's are too slow to be really useful. Because of this only about 15% of people who own Smart TV's even use the Smart TV feature.
If Intel gets its chips inside TV's, DVD players and related devices it can offer many of the benefits reportedly available in Intel's Web TV box but without the extra box, the extra cost and without spying on anyone. And repackaging live cable TV at the same price cable companies already charge for the same content wasn't so compelling to begin with.
Did I mention the cloud-based DVR? If you missed your favorite show or forgot to record it, no sweat, Intel has you covered. Your show is waiting for you in the cloud.
Plus, with WiDi, you can watch Live tv from any device connected to your home network. It really is a break thru in home entertainment.

Skip to comments.In shift, GOP wants ObamaCare fix (RINOs are back)
Posted on 11/11/2013 5:34:25 AM PST by Olog-hai
Republicans have shifted their strategy on ObamaCare.
Weeks ago, many Republicans said ObamaCareincluding Speaker John Boehner (Ohio)was too broken to fix. But now, the GOP is drafting legislation that aims to do just that.
The GOP wants to rebuild its political capital and public credibility by solving ObamaCares implementation problems. This pivot comes after Republicans took major hits in polls following the government shutdown.
The House this week will vote on a measure called, Keep Your Health Plan Act. It aims to do what the president promised years ago: If you like your health plan, you can stay on it. Senate Republicans, meanwhile, are pushing for a vote in their chamber. That measure has already attracted Democratic support.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
PRIMARY ANY supporter of ObamaScare !!!
This is patently false, and everyone including the writer knows it.
It's now obvious to even the least astute observers that the insurance companies are complicit in this mess and want their government slave-politicians to save Obamacare and their investment.
Start calling by the millions. Ask for the political vermin of your choice.
Ask for Preibus and give him a dose.
These guys don't know their basic Napoleon:
"Never Interfere With an Enemy While Hes in the Process of Destroying Himself"
It's now obvious to even the least astute observers that the insurance companies are complicit in this mess and want their government slave-politicians to save Obamacare and their investment.Not to mention the rest of Big Business, which wants to detach themselves from their expensive employee health care plans.
Why play by the rules now? They can't just issue another "update"?
I Hate F'ing Politicians.
Of course the GOPe is out to destroy Cruz, Lee and any other actual conservative who might repeal this atrocity. They're all in on it, everyone's getting a piece of the action.
America's voters have one last chance in November 2014 to save the United States. I do think this is will be our last chance. If the Republican establishment is still running the party after the 2014 elections then our children will grow up in an impoverished, totalitarian country.
PRIMARY ANY Republican who supports BONEHEAD !!!
Holding Obama to his promise that if you like your health care you can keep it is a good idea. A lot better that boneheaded shutting down the government.
They will deserve the unwanted surprise at the primaries.
Note to RINO's...start saving cardboard boxes
Yep. Millions of tax slaves in this country have no one in Washington to represent them. The Conservatives tried to speak up for the tax slaves, but the Republican RINOs attacked them for it. That's why the tax paying people don't vote Republican anymore. They didn't leave the Republican party. The Republican party left them.
The only way to keep your plan pre-Obamacare is to eliminate Obamacare. Every aspect of the law drives up costs, reduces choice and shifts decisions to the Federal government. Unless the fixes just gut the entire law, it isn't a fix at all.
Nota bene that the House bill is sponsored by über-RINO, Freddie Upton, who was a major force behind the light bulb ban. He's a scion of the Whirlpool fortune and is another millionaire whose healthcare and retirement we are all paying for. Sadly, this millionaire parasite will probably never be defeated in his MI district. The region has gotten too purple in recent years. His hellacious bill can, however, be defeated.
The only good fix for that monstrosity is REPEAL!
You F'ing SoB Pieces of Shiite.
Republicans are SO STUPID.
Then why did Obama shut down the government?
If it could even work it would be a poison pill. The exchanges need those premium dollars.
The Democrat Collaborators are Back!
Obama didn't shut down the government but he was sure happy when the Republicans did.
Good God, the Gop-e is stuck on stupid.
What about the penalty? 1%, 2%, 2.5%....we all know it's going much higher than that.
What about the fifty new taxes?
Ditch the entire "Affordable Care Act." It's neither affordable nor is it care. The end game is so-called single-payer, i.e., socialized medicine. It's all about power and control. That's all these scumbag statists care about. And money.
Repeal or Revolution. One or the other.
No, Obama shut down the government. With help from Reid. The GOP had nothing to do with it. The record shows precisely that.
First sign of danger ahead.
That measure has already attracted Democratic support.
Yeah...keep thinking that. Perception is reality. Obama has the media in his pocket and the public was going to blame the Republicans. ....and they did. It was such a bad idea even Mile Lee is trying to backpedal from it.
The RINOs can push all the bills they want but if odumbo doesn't want what any bill contains, he can veto it and toss it in the trash. (Too much power for one person to have)
No, perception isn't reality, otherwise you could shape the universe to your perceptions. Truth and lies are the actual absolutes and the devil does not dictate reality. And the reality on the ground is that people are not blaming the GOP, especially for the mess that Obamacare is showing itself to be.
So how can Lee "back down" from something he didn't do?
Holding Obama to his promise that if you like your health care you can keep it is a good idea. A lot better that boneheaded shutting down the government.
You are having another day dream. Boehner has never held obama to anything. This is just another "we tried" vote ploy for the GOP base and dim bulb demo.
Don't be so naive to think Boehner & McConnell will be engaging obama on kenyancare. They haven't done it for 3+ years and they won't suddenly start doing it now.
I don't think they're "keeping" Obamacare.
I saw several conservative commentators say that if they could get a bill through that would stop the cancellations, it would weaken Obamacare even more because there would be no one on the rolls to pay for it. That would drive working folk's premiums even higher.
What we need to do right now is get the word out on Obamacare's cost and what America is getting for that money. Over a trillion? How many uninsured could we have helped with that kind of cash.
Tell me again why we have to hold our (collective) noses and vote Republican to prevent the RATs from winning.
Any Conservative who votes for a RINO is as dumb as an Elmer Fudd supporter.
With the 2014 elections ahead I think there is a chance of the dems to over ride his veto the risk of the 2016 elections has a greater risk for them.
The GOPe's Keep Your Health Plan Act is simply a minor "fix" to Obamacare that solely affects folks who SUPPOSEDLY were grandfathered and SUPPOSEDLY had the right to "keep their insurance if they like it". The sole purpose of this legislation by the GOPe branch of the ruling elite is to save the bacon of Obama and the Democrat branch of the ruling elite in the 2014 election.
This "Keep Your Health Plan Act" should be thrown in the "Scheiße can" where it belongs. The true conservatives in the House need to propose in its stead a "Freedom of Healthcare Choice Act". That legislation would FREE American individuals and insurance companies to establish and have ANY flavor of health insurance that each individual and family decides is best for that given individual/family. These private citizens are PAYING for their own insurance and THEY should be free to choose what is best for them in their given circumstances. They should not have an all powerful state and its ruling elite politicians and bureaucrats deciding what insurance is suitable for them.
OK, conservative Representatives, who of you will be putting together and introducing the "Freedom of Healthcare Choice Act"? The time is RIPE for an attempt to pass such an act. Let the Democrats and leftist RINOs vote against it—I'd dare them to do that. It would be an act of political self-destruction.
I like that title "Freedom of Healthcare Choice Act". Has the kind of ambiguity the Dems wish they could think of themselves, and can certainly mean a massive return of healthcare to the private sector. Of course, expect a massive Alinskyization à la the late Ted Kennedy's "Borking" (which was one of the worst cases of public perjury in history) . . .
Well letting all the sick people stay on Obamacare,then tell all the people on individual plans they can keep them.
Then who pays for the premiums of the sick people,since the younger people will not sign up and everyone else can keep their policies? The stated design for this mess was that younger people and everyone that got kicked off their policies would go on Obamacare and fund the sick people policies,now what,those people who will keep their policies will now pay even higher premiums and the MORONIC republican leadership is the saviour of Obamacare guess who the blame will be foisted upon?
Of course none of those A-Holes will have to worry they are exempt
If this is enacted, people who have already had their plans canceled, like me, are going to have to cough up much higher premiums to pay for the sick and subsidized people who are signing up for Obamacare.
It's totally unfair to the millions who have already had their plans canceled or to anyone else who has to pay premiums based on all the mandated coverage the law requires.
This fix is way too late - it should have been done years ago. Republicans who sponsor this bill are no better than the Rats who are doing it - it's cowardly political posturing at best.
Because they don't want the dems to "own it".
Let them eat their own.
They should be pushing hard how they tried to delay the mandate, but Obozo, Reid and the rest of the Donks would have nothing of it.
Let the Dems own this thing, then campaign hard against them.
Of course, this won't happen. We'll try to fix it, and then for the next 60 years conservatives and the TEA party will be blamed for destroying the "greatest healthcare system ever", and throwing granny and everyone else under the bus.
I say screw it. Sit back and watch the donks implode themselves.
We can fix it when we get the White House, Senate and House back.
You do seem to have a problem with the truth. Obama and the senate dems shut down the government. You can repest it over and over again, like the media does, but it's still not the truth.
Panic-Boy ought to cock that thing before he tries to hit "send". Looks like a Kenyan voter.
In shift, GOP wants ObamaCare fix
What a big surprise...
Those drooling in cups still can't figured out they've been lied to and politically gang banged by their own non-representative representatives.
As far as I can tell there is at least one FUBAR on every one of the 2,000+ pages of kenyancare. I guess that means the "fix " would be at least that long. If I keep ordering copies I probly won't have to cut firewood this winter?
Well the Russians have a better approach at it and goes something like this:
When your enemy is on the edge of the precipice, ... Push!
Also known as the "Let Vulnerable Senate Democrats Off the Hook Act".
OK time to get serious.
There must be some way to remove these clowns from office.
Enough is enough!
You make it sound like it's a bad thing.
Tell us, great one, how would that make anything any worse than the point to which everything has deteriorated?
I want to go down fighting!
The one you're replying to is blaming said shutdown on the GOP rather than Obama and the "true party of no" Democrats.
Vote out the RINOs in 2014!!!!
The GOP and it's Cronies have designs on TEA. Watch out folks!!!

56 year old Grammy winning singer Anita Baker is a wanted woman in Detroit. And she found out while watching television after seeing a report about authorities looking for her.
TMZ reports:
According to court records, the bench warrant was issued yesterday after the singer failed to show up to court for a hearing in her current legal battle with a paint and decorating company.
Ray Smith Painting and Decorating has sued Baker, claiming she owes the company $15,000 for services it performed inside her giant Grosse Pointe home — and so far, she still hasn't anted up.
She shared her surprise to her 290,000 Twitter followers:
"WHATTT??!!… sittin' in the kitchen watching this on TV. BIG time crazy. Atty on his way to TV Station. Devil sho is busy."
Baker rose to fame in 1986 with the release of her platinum-selling second album Rapture. The album included her Grammy-winning single Sweet Love. She has won eight Grammy's, has five platinum albums and one gold album.

don't fly away swellow! i don't know why i picked you even though you're probably going to ru oh... you're still nu :) qc'd: tennis, omicron, zurich gp'd: dtc+rittercat, shame that [Overview]
Despite being a notorious late-game sweeper in DPP UU, Swellow was continuously shafted in the new generation by the physically gifted BW newcomers such as Darmanitan, Conkeldurr, and Haxorus. Since plummeting to NU, Swellow was finally recognized as arguably one of the best sweepers available. Swellow's base stats aren't exactly telling of its might: however, even with an insignificant base 85 Attack stat, access to Guts and a STAB Facade leave Swellow with power comparable to a Life Orb boosted Haxorus Outrage. The lack of reliable Rapid Spin users in the tier makes Swellow even better—all Rock- and Steel-type Pokemon that resist Facade are weakened by Spikes, making entry hazards nearly vital when using Swellow. It also has access to U-turn, wearing down the incoming Rock- and Steel-type switch-ins and forcing them out with an appropriate counter.

However, the prevalence of entry hazards in NU is a double-edged sword for Swellow. Stealth Rock limits the number of times that Swellow can come in to wreak havoc, and it's difficult to spin them away because of the lack of reliable Rapid Spin users in NU. Swellow is also worn down by its own Toxic Orb and Brave Bird recoil, effectively placing a timer on each sweep. Lastly, despite having an excellent base 125 Speed, priority such as Absol's Sucker Punch is disastrous to those hoping for a clean sweep. Regardless, Swellow is easily one of the most prominent offensive threats in NU and should be kept in mind when building a team.
 [SET] name: Guts move 1: Facade move 2: Brave Bird move 3: U-turn move 4: Protect / Quick Attack item: Toxic Orb ability: Guts nature: Jolly evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
This set aims to abuse Guts to the fullest extent. Once Toxic Orb is activated, Swellow's Attack stat is propelled to an imposing 403, nearly as high as behemoths such as Rampardos and Slaking. Facade's Base Power is doubled after activation as well, leaving Swellow with an impressive 140 Base Power STAB move. Brave Bird offers an additional STAB move to hit the Ghost-types immune to Facade, though most of the time Facade is preferable as it has more power and no recoil damage. U-turn is best used when a Rock- or Steel-type is likely to enter the fray; Swellow has no business trying to break through those Pokemon, so wearing them down with U-turn and switching to a counter is the best way to deal with them. The last moveslot is the only toss-up on this set; Protect offers a free turn to activate the Toxic Orb and scout for dangerous moves to Swellow, whereas Quick Attack is more useful to pick off weakened Pokemon who attempt to revenge you. Quick Attack is also notable because it can evade opposing Absol's Sucker Punch.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
Flame Orb does less damage over a longer period of time than Toxic Orb, but is generally a poor choice on Swellow because it will almost never be in for more than three turns, thus taking less damage overall from Toxic Orb. Swellow performs best with Spikes support because all of its counters are grounded and will take full damage from entry hazards. Cacturne can be an effective teammate, as it has no issue coming in on Alomomola and can threaten bulky Rock-types with Seed Bomb. A teammate that can use Rapid Spin is also greatly appreciated by Swellow, as it takes 25% from Stealth Rock every switch-in. Wartortle is perhaps the best partner in this regard, as it can handle strong attacks aimed at Swellow, thanks to Wartortle's bulk after Eviolite. Not only can it act as a bodyguard for Swellow, it can threaten Swellow's counters with Scald. Swellow already has issues with the recoil from Brave Bird and poison damage from its Toxic Orb, so keeping Stealth Rock off the field is of utmost importance to minimize the residual damage taken.

Roost is an option in the last slot, as it can revitalize a sweep when it seems that Swellow is down for the count. Roost is also best used with Flame Orb, as the damage doesn't increase after every turn and provides Swellow with more longevity. However, Swellow doesn't have enough bulk to take a hit while it's Roosting, and would almost always prefer to be using Facade when on its last legs. The best partners for Swellow would be those that deal with Rock- and Steel-types such as Bastiodon, Regirock, and Carracosta. Powerful Water-types such as Gorebyss can blow those counters out of the water. Quagsire can tank Earthquakes and Stone Edges with ease, as well as set up on them with Curse. Bulky Fighting-types such as Gurdurr and Throh have little issues with any of the aforementioned counters as well.
 [Other Options]
A Choice Band set could work decently on Swellow, and would be especially effective if it nabbed a status through Toxic or Will-O-Wisp on the switch-in. Work Up is also a similar option, though with its so-so defenses, Swellow will hardly find the time to actually set up. Endeavor is a last-ditch option to drop the opponent to low health, but in most cases Facade will be more efficient and do more damage. Swellow gets Scrappy through Dream World, but there are very few Ghost-type Pokemon in NU. Scrappy Swellow will also have to rely on the weaker Return, meaning Guts is almost always the superior option.
 [Checks and Counters]
Swellow cannot break through any of the Rock- or Steel-types in the tier without prior damage. Bastiodon, Carracosta, Golem, Gigalith and Regirock are all incredibly solid counters that can OHKO Swellow with little offensive investment. While not a Rock-type, physically defensive Alomomola can tank any of Swellow's hits and stall it out of Toxic damage with a combination of Wish and Protect. Common Choice Scarf users such as Sawk, Jynx, Braviary, and Mesprit can all outspeed Swellow and revenge kill it. Even though it's fairly uncommon in NU, priority moves such as Absol's Sucker Punch or Basculin's Aqua Jet will easily wipe out Swellow. The simplest way to manage Swellow, however, is with residual damage. With Stealth Rock, Brave Bird recoil, and its own Toxic Orb poisoning, Swellow will quickly wear itself out.

Engine Performance problem
1987 Chevy Nova 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic
Have an 87 Chevy Nova with a vacuum leak. Checked all the hoses. Can't find a problem and can't find an accurate diagram. Any ideas on the most common locations of vacuum problems or where to get an accurate diagram that doesn't look like a drunk 2 year old drew it?

After I created an App in Xcode 4.3.1 for Archiving (Product -> Archive) with a Developer Provisioning Profile, i was able to see the App in the Organizer. After selecting the and and clicking the "Distribute..." - Button, i selected the option "Safe for Enterprise or Ad-Hoc Deployment". Next step, i selected the Code Signing Identity, i compiled the app with (the Developer Provisioning Profile). Than i selected the checkbox "Save for Enterprise Distribution" and filled out the Application URL (http://www.mycompany.com/test/MyApp.ipa) and the Title ("My App") (which was required). After Saving the ipa file to a specific folder, i uploaded the mobileprovisionprofile, the ipa ("MyApp.ipa") and the plist ("MyApp.plist") on the server at the given Resource URL (http://www.mycompany.com/test).
Then i had to create a page (index.html) in which a link to the app manifest (MyApp.plist) was being added:
<a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://www.mycompany.com/test/MyApp.plist">
Btw, also a link to the Provisioning Profile was being added, so its easy to install the profile also.
I can install the Provisioning Profile using the mobile safari pretty well, but when i click on the Manifest Link an error dialog pops up and says like "Can not connect to www.mycompany.com".
Is there an issue with the ipa oder the plist file?
Thank you in advanced!

Residents may now pre-apply for disaster food stamps
Published: Monday, June 1, 2009 at 6:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 1, 2009 at 6:14 p.m.
BATON ROUGE Residents looking to avoid the hassle of applying for disaster food stamps in the immediate aftermath of a hurricane now have the option of pre-applying for them with the Louisiana Department of Social Services.
Last year after Hurricane Gustav, the lines were long for those applying for food stamps.
"Collecting the required income information for the Disaster Food Stamp application is easier to do before a hurricane strikes rather than after an evacuation, said state Department of Social Services Secretary Kristy Nichols. I hope all residents who may be eligible will make pre-application for Disaster Food Stamps part of their hurricane preparation plan."
Low- to moderate-income households that dont qualify for regular food stamps may be eligible for these disaster food stamps. However, residents who already receive regular food stamps do not need to pre-apply. If they are eligible for additional benefits, they will be added automatically.
Note that pre-applying is not a lock for benefits. After a disaster, those who have pre-applied just have to visit a site where the disaster food stamps are issued so that they can verify their information and identity. At that point, their final eligibility is determined. Eligibility requirements arent announced until after the disaster takes place.
To apply, visit www.dss.louisiana.gov and provide the following information:
-- Names, Social Security Numbers and Dates of Birth for each household member
-- Current address and parish of household
-- Monthly income for each household member
-- All liquid resources for each household member (cash on hand, checking & savings account balances, certificates of deposit and money market balance)
If residents do not have on-line access, they may call 1-888-LA HELP U ( 1-888-524-3578) to apply as well.
Pre-application can only be done online or by phone. Pre-applications will not be accepted at Department of Social Services offices.

My most favorite jeans. Love the fit. They just feel good on. I think they look awesome too.
05/15/2015By Hafymama
The fit is a little off to be flattering so they have become just riding jeans. Perfect for that.
01/20/2015By Donna
They don't even come close to being as good as the old Cruel girls. Fade after few washings. Fit is poor.
08/02/2013By Dusty
I love my jean, they are great for working in the barn--very comfortable. The sizing was ran true too.
05/11/2013By Chris
I used to love the fit and quality of cruel girl jeans, now they seem to be made cheaper and fit very poorly.

You don't know how happy I am that this is happening.
As soon as I read up on this bill c45 in early Dec.,I knew Harper was selling us out. Canada has the largest amount of fresh water in the world right? Water is set to become a precious commodity, more scarce than oil. I thought, well this is it. No more fooling around. This is an issue worth taking a stand over.
And lots of people agree! The movement is growing.
I really appreciate that INM was started by women, so you know it will have staying power. They are committed to working outside the official system, so it will truly be grassroots change.

Yes it looks as if his agenda is corporate.
I am seeing the foreign investment already in full swing and an example is the chinese owned mine who recently brought in several foreign workers from their homeland who can't wait to send money back home ...as heard on a CBC Radio interview roughly a month ago, give or take.

Your SelectionClear All
Very lightweight and thin material, good choice of colours as well. Goes for the short-short look I was aiming for, the sizing is a bit confusing though. I highly recommend this for shorts for gym, running or cycling- anything really. ... read more
Was looking for a bright pair of shorts for running in the mountains, saw these thought they look like they would do the job, then saw them on sale and grabbed them. Took them for a test through the woods, comfy like an old pair normally wear compression shorts but fine without. Good and bright, put a smile on your face, fabric smooth light polyester with a bit of stretch so am thinking may not snag, I run trail. The inside pants bit could be a bit deeper so can pull up higher, but I guess needs to be supportive. Job done, think they'll be great. ... read more
The shirt is not a slim fit but is not loose either which makes it perfect. Reflective adidas logo and lines on the arms. I like the "watermarked" diamonds design on the front which takes the shirt out of blandness. Just a note, beware that the white one is grayish white, which doesn't show in the picture. true to size. ... read more
This is a great shirt to run in, light, fits well, breathes incredibly well, I have been running on 80-85 degree weather and hav done 5-8 miles on it and it adapts very well as the running and sweating increases. After the workout it's cool and helps me cool off. Highly recommended. ... read more
Love these shirts, bought first 1 about 15months ago and still my favourite running top. Live in China now so difficult to find my size, just been back to UK and bought 5 more, all same size and same fit as the first. Happy. ... read more
I have been for 6 runs in these shorts distances 3 to 10 miles. When I run more than 3 miles in these shorts I have been left with sores on my male anatomy from the inner pant. Never experienced this with any other shorts. ... read more
I have wide shoulders and always have issues finding a shirt that fits correctly. This shirt fits like it was taylor made, amazing! Wiccks moisture and isn't rough on the skin when running, biking or doing crossfit. Seems to wash well and not have any smells. Will by more when they go on sale ... read more
The jacket run small, the zipper is made of poor quality, and the finger holes in the sleeves are rather week. Otherwise the jacket is very light weight and readable and ultimately usable but not perfect, not even close. ... read more
These are a perfect running short. Really comfortable and long lasting. But if you're looking at colours, go by the photo of the short not what it looks like on the model... the light is a little deceptive. ... read more
I am 6'1", 188 lbs, and have a 32" waist and a 34" inseam. I ordered a Medium pair of these tights. Considering the photo of the model and how these tights fit him, I expected them to be slightly looser than they are in actuality. Although they are a bit more snug than I thought they would be, they are extremely comfortable and look very nice as well. Although men's clothing is normally not particularly "stylish", I would define these as reasonably stylish in look. There is a sheen to the fabric when stretched, which I do not particularly prefer; but, it is not excessive like some clothing that was manufactured in the past, and is therefore tolerable. I saw one review pertaining to the low quality of the fabric. At this point, I disagree. The fabric seems to be just fine. I suppose time will tell how well it stands up to being used and washed multiple times. ... read more
I'm glad I grabbed one of these tanks the color is really cool. The teal accent is a bit more on the green side than the image leads you to believe tho. Either way it's a great tank, totally worth the money. ... read more
Have had these for a couple of weeks and have been wearing them as often as I can. Great for running, gym, dragon boating. They keep me warm without overheating or sweating heaps. They don't irritate my leg hairs like lots of tights. The waist band is a bit tight and sits a bit high on me, but maybe I just need to run a bit more!? ... read more
Bought this about 2 wks ago and so far very happy. Shields from the wind well, repelled a pretty heavy downpour, fits well and looks good. Reflective pattern is a nice touch. Could do with a couple of pockets perhaps. ... read more
I purchased this shirt as a workout/running shirt and I was a little disappointed. The shirt is not as comfortable as I would have hoped, and it hindered my workout at times. Maybe I picked the wrong shirt but I have had better experiences with adidas apparel in the past. ... read more
Great colour and comfy I found the sleeves too tight on the large size ,,particularly as I'm not Mr Muscles. The new technology doesn't really make any significant difference to me. Found it a little over priced. ... read more

Guys the supernova t-shirts are excellent. BUT, the colour of the shirt on the web is not the same as in real life. Theres colour is actually neon pink. If you plan to run when its dark then i guess it would be useful- but wearing it to the gym you may need sunglasses from the brightness. Great fit and great shirt- just bad colour for me. ... read more
Climachill has its ideal match in singlet form, to help with cooling during a run, or any exercise. The fabric is soft and comfortable, though there is some minor fraying of stitching. This vest is more fitted, unlike some other Adidas tops. ... read more
The shorts look really cool, and felt okay all during my 22-mile long run, but later that day, my wife was horrified to find the pattern of holes in the liner emblazoned on a certain part of my anatomy afterwards. This took the better part of a week to clear up, during which time there was no joy for Mighty Casey. Suffice to say, I'll be using these for shorter runs in the future. ... read more
Very light weight shirt; not meant for serious cold without layering. The Boston logo is small and hard to see; if you're wearing a Boston shirt the logo should shout out your accomplishment. Fits very well and is comfortable; I like the color too. ... read more
Purchased this for my first half marathon in a long time. Stood up to the job, kept me cool once the going got tough. It's lovely and light and a nice blue colour. Would purchase again, if new colours were available. Fit just right. I'm 6ft, medium build and bought the top in a medium fitting. ... read more
Had a great experience purchasing this T shirt. Very happy with shirt fit quality. The fabric is easy to wear and brilliant for travel (no iron, no crease and dry's in a hotel room after wearing and washing. The delivery from Adidas was amazingly fast. ... read more
The supernova shorts are ideal for running and spinning in. I have just completed a half marathon in them and they were so comfortable and light. They are the usual adidas quality and the fit is very good. Like the little zip pocket which is a very handy feature to have. Definitely recommend this product. ... read more
I love the fit and colour, bought two shirts in green and blue, but the material is rough on the skin causing a very unpleasant itchy sensation mostly around the neck. This occurs often enough to be annoying but I still wear them since they do look good. The thin material doesn't soak up sweat and keeps you cool, shame about the rough fabric as this could have been the perfect shirt. ... read more

Talk:2006 Russia–Georgia energy crisis
|This page was nominated for deletion on 9 August 2009 (UTC). The result of the discussion was keep.
|WikiProject Russia / Economy / History
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
According to the article, only the Georgian government declared it a sabotage. The Russians and Chechens denied involvement, so the title, which is now known as the 2006 North Ossetia sabotages, seems biased towards the Georgian government. Just wanted to point that out.
--Starstriker7(Say hior see my works) 15:49, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Georgian POV[edit]
This article is full of Georgian POV, with the only opposing POV being 5 words from Russia. Although this is hardly a notable incident, within the 3 sources present on the article, there is much more which can be added to help NPOV out the pro-Georgian POV. For example, experts called Georgian claims "infantile". This type of criticism needs to be present in the article before the POV tag can be removed. --Russavia Let's dialogue 15:38, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
- Where do you exactly see the text "full of Georgian POV"? Can you please also give the number of words of Georgian POV so as to compare to the opposing 5 words from Russia? Could you also cite those "experts"? Experts are also in the opposing camp and Wikipedia is not a collection of quotes of "I said 'yes', you said 'no'" type? Playing with POV tags is not going to be helpful unless you are more specific in your grievances. Best, --KoberTalk 15:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Do you suspect that some of your employees take FMLA leave for something a little less serious than tending to the health care needs of themselves or their relatives?
If so, here's some good news: You can and should check up on suspicious FMLA usage. If it turns out all those Friday or Monday intermittent FMLA leave days were really spent playing golf or antiquing instead of getting checkups or nursing a sick child, punish the employee.
The fact is, FMLA leave is protected only if employees actually use it for the purpose it was intended. And it's up to employees to demonstrate that they are using FMLA leave for legitimate purposes.
Recent case: Jennifer Fleece took off from work for two nights, ostensibly to care for her son, who has a serious health condition. She later filed a lawsuit, alleging that the company had violated the FMLA.
Fleece's employer questioned whether she was entitled to FMLA leave, based on a suspicion that she had not really cared for her son those two nights. The employer asked the court to make her prove that she had.
The court agreed. The court said just as time spent on the golf course isn't FMLA-protected time, neither is time that was supposed to be spent caring for a sick relative but instead was spent doing something else. Fleece will have to prove she appropriately used FMLA leave before her case can proceed. (Fleece v. BFP Diversified, No. 1:06-CV-1597, SD IN, 2008)

Nokia 6060
- Sleek black and chrome design looks great, Good features list for the price, simple controls and keypad layout, User friendly interface
- External antenna, no external screen, quality of internal screen could be better
Bottom Line
If you're looking for a very basic handset for calls and messages, then the 6060 is one of the best available. It offers sleek looks and a good features list all for a competitive price.
Price$ 249.00 (AUD)
The Nokia 6060 is the latest entry into the low-end mobile market, which seems to be gaining popularity despite the influx of several advanced multimedia handsets. Nokia has got it almost spot on with this number, combining sleek and stylish looks with a user friendly interface.
The 6060 is a clamshell format and its design really impressed us. The phone is finished in a gloss black sturdy plastic, with chrome trim along the sides creating a business-like look and feel. Despite being a low-end handset, at first glance of the 6060 you definitely wouldn't think this is the case. It looks and feels like a much more expensive phone and the build quality is commendable. In particular, the flip mechanism worked well without any problems to report. Even the antenna, despite being external, was stylish and compact and its sleek black lines blend smoothly into the top of the unit. Despite this, we'd still prefer an internal antenna and we were disappointed with the lack of an external screen. Although this was excluded to keep costs down, we think it should have been incorporated as it is always handy to see who is calling or check the time without having to flip open the phone.
To compensate for the lack of a screen, Nokia has included an interesting feature on the 6060. A unique horizontal LED strobe light is present on the front of the handset. It looks like a thin red strip of plastic, rather than a light. The light flashes frequently when the phone receives a call or message. This is not as good as a screen would have been, but an interesting idea nonetheless.
The 6060 flips open to reveal a sleek keypad and simple, yet stylish control layout. Nokia has kept it user friendly - a 4-way navigational pad is surrounded by two selection buttons and Answer and End Call keys. The navigational pad and keypad are gloss black and chrome to match with the exterior of the phone, whilst the rest of the buttons are matt black and provide a nice touch to the unit. The keypad is extremely comfortable - not too small or cramped, it is spaced out well and is a joy for messaging, so SMS users will definitely be pleased.
The 6060 houses a 65k colour internal screen which measures 128 x 160 pixels. The screen isn't bad in any sense, but we would have liked to seen it upgraded to a newer and crisper 262k display, which seems to be the norm at the moment for new handsets. Once again, this is a cost issue and although it is difficult to juggle cost with quality, a better screen would have suited this model, particularly as it has a range of background wallpapers and themes to display.
The 6060 allows MP3 and MIDI files to be used as ringtones, although there is no USB cable included in the sales package, so you'll have to purchase a cable if you want to utilise this feature. Other features include WAP 1.2 over GPRS, a hands-free speakerphone, a host of PIM applications (calendar, to-do list, expense manager) and a 500 name phonebook. The phonebook supports both multiple entries and the ability to assign pictures and photos to an entry, although with no camera on the 6060, uploading images to the phone would be a tiresome process. The 6060 is also a breeze for messaging and includes support for standard SMS, MMS and email messaging. Of course, T9 predictive text input is provided and we had no issues with keystroke lag or speed. Combined with the sleek keypad, messaging is definitely one of the finer features of this particular handset.
Battery life was slightly above average, with Nokia claiming 150 minutes talk time and up to 400 hours standby time. Because the phone doesn't have a host of multimedia features such as a camera, the battery lasted almost four days (with light use) without needing a recharge during our testing.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Product Description
WINNER 2014 – Canadian Authors Association Emerging Writer Award
"A poignant exploration of love, grief and lucidity."
—CBC Books
"An accomplished, decidedly quirky debut novel."
—Toronto Star
"Seduces immediately by force of storytelling. . . . O'Connell is spot-on about the isolating nature of grief. . . . The story's real weight, its heart's heft, comes with a closing sleight-of hand. In retrospect, it connects with a wallop."
—The Globe and Mail
"A poignant, affecting first novel. . . . The greatest strength of Magnified World lies . . . in moments of quiet yet piercing insight into the pain of losing a loved one."
—Toronto Star
"[O'Connell] possesses a magical, almost fanciful, and rich imagination."
"Powerful and haunting, Magnified World exists in a realm of its own. I greatly anticipate the future career of Grace O'Connell."
—Indigo Fiction Blog
"A very excellent book."
—This Magazine
"There is magic in Magnified World."
—January Magazine
"Part of Random House's well-curated New Face of Fiction series. . . . O'Connell deserves marks for a bold approach to her subject—grieving is indeed a surreal, nonlinear process impossible to prepare for."
—National Post
"She's a beautiful writer. Line by line, her prose is sensate and evocative, toying with words and images and reframing them in wonderfully counterintuitive, surprising ways."
—The Walrus
"O'Connell has a deliriously good style, swooping through layers of consciousness and comprehension with elegance and even a bit of humour. The painful experience of going on with one's life after a loved one commits suicide is examined by stripping bare multiple layers of perception to try to find stability in an unstable emotional world. "
—Quill & Quire
"A haunting story about love and fragility, the permeable line between truth and the imagination, absence and longing, grieving and coming through. Here is a drenching swim in the strongest currents of feeling, the link between mothers and daughters, fathers, lovers and the very fine line between what we know to be real, and what we cannot ever know for certain."
—Lisa Moore, author of February
"Magnified World is a powerful debut that fearlessly tackles the fears and joys of the heart. There is poetry on the path that lies beyond loss, and Grace O'Connell has found it."
—Ami McKay, author of The Virgin Cure and The Birth House
"In its intimate mysteries and wry observation, O'Connell's Magnified World offers something quite rare: a view of grief that isn't sad, but touching, whimsical and wise."
—Trevor Cole, author of The Fearsome Particles
"Grace O'Connell's debut novel is somehow seductive, subtle and stunning all at the same time. She takes the world you know in hand, and tilts it slightly, a bit more, then even more…until everything is something else, and breathtaking. Magnified World is not just big; it is deeper, scarier, more there than the real thing. And although it's a daunting place to be, O'Connell's writing is such that you'd follow her anywhere. You'll want to live inside this language, wrap yourself up in it; she really is that good."
—Shaughnessy Bishop Stall, author of Ghosted
"Charm. It's a rare quality that is in abundant evidence in Grace O'Connell's debut. A whole emotional world—and an intimate take on the city—are drawn by a distinctive authorial voice that's already found itself."
—Andrew Pyper, author of The Killing Circle and The Guardians
"Grace O'Connell's debut, Magnified World, bristles with energy. When Maggie's mother drowns herself in the river, Maggie is left behind, struggling to keep herself afloat in the aftermath. Magnified World is about the extraordinary lengths to which Maggie will go to keep herself from being pulled under by the legacy of family secrets and the ripples of mental illness. A smart, dark, funny, puzzle box of a book that is as much about hope as it is about grief and the grip of a mother on her daughter."
—Alexi Zentner, author of Touch
"O'Connell delves into the murky waters of memory, identity and mental illness with heartbreaking clarity and wisdom. Magnified World is a gem of a book."
—Brian Francis, author of Natural Order
"Magnified World brims with life and magic. In the face of suicide, grief, blackouts and men who may or may not be real, Grace O'Connell's wonderful novel celebrates the inventiveness that allows us not only to survive but daringly reinvent ourselves. O'Connell is a deft and delightful storyteller whose prose has a natural clarity and buoyancy. Her heroine, Maggie, may fear she's going a little mad but O'Connell's belief in the power of stories to save us shines through at every turn."
—Catherine Bush, author of The Rules of Engagement and Claire's Head
"O'Connell writes with assurance and a rare vitality. At once funny and deeply disturbing, Magnified World will remain with the reader long after the book is closed."
—Rabindranath Maharaj, author of The Amazing Absorbing Boy

In her debut novel, Grace O'Connell explores the effects of Carol Pierce's suicide. Profoundly troubled, Carol walks into the Don River with her pockets full of zircon from her New Age shop and leaves behind her husband and 23-year-old daughter, Maggie. Soon, Maggie begins to experience blackouts that signal the presence of an intruding, alternate reality.
The novel opens with Maggie's first blackout and continues on to describe the ways in which she tries to regain control of her life. O'Connell moves seamlessly between the real world and Maggie's consciousness and introduces provocative characters who shift along with this movement: Gil, a man Maggie has never met, who nonetheless sends her sympathetic postcards and strikes an ominous deal with her; Maggie's boyfriend, Andrew, and best friend, Wendy, who appear one way to Maggie and another way to the reader; and the psychiatrists who have varying degrees of investment in Carol's past.
Some of O'Connell's descriptions become tedious and she gets bogged down with details without developing larger plot elements. A potentially horrendous car accident, for example, ends in no injuries, no emotional trauma and gets no further mention in the story. But ultimately, "Magnified World" has a pleasing style and elegantly strips away multiple layers of perception to try and find stability in an unstable world.
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
The characters are rich and deep. They intertwine in ways that make sense, and the heroine, for that she is, is sympathetic even at her lowest points. Her journey is shared in a way that is sometimes vulnerable, sometimes sardonic, and there are - no spoilers though - a few surprises along the way. It is a tale of love and grief, loss and redemption and strength, all beautifully told. I've thoroughly enjoyed this book and will no doubt, at some point, reread it if only to enjoy the writing one more time.
The mother seemed to have more of a personality and a life.
