SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/18/12 -- Blue Box, a leading cloud hosting and managed services company, today announced the availability of its new "Trade Up" program for customers who are dissatisfied with their current managed cloud application hosting platform provider. As part of this program, Blue Box is offering a limited time, 50% discount on standard recurring monthly service fees for the first three months of an annual contract. With nearly 600 clients including MTV, VH1, Seeking Alpha, Pivotal Tracker, Agawi, and Crowdstar, Blue Box provides a highly automated application infrastructure that enables customers to focus their energy on building and improving their Web applications.
"The past few months have seen a number of critical data center outages which brought a number of high profile Web applications to their knees. Every minute that an application is down, someone is losing money and potentially customers," said Jesse Proudman, CEO of Blue Box. "Blue Box maintains one of the highest uptime rates in the industry and because we own and manage the entire infrastructure stack, we're able to remediate issues significantly faster than the typical hosting provider. We're kicking off this 'Trade Up' promotion to showcase the benefits of the Blue Box solution and are confident that once companies give us a try, they'll become customers for life."
Blue Box has built a significant amount of intellectual property focused on orchestrating the infrastructure that supports critical applications, enabling their customers to focus on building better applications. Blue Box's ownership of the hardware infrastructure illustrates its core philosophy and commitment to owning the entire customer experience and assists in providing unparalleled "white-glove" service. As the company acquired additional customers, Blue Box began to codify many of its best practices to automate its platform service. In addition, Blue Box leverages an assortment of open source technologies including OpenStack, EMC Razor and Opscode's Chef coupled with Blue Box intellectual property and technologies.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

I loved this book or most of the book. I loved how it began and loved the middle and then suddenly the story changed hated the rest of the story. To me it seemed like two different stories. I just did not understand the last half of the book. I would give the first half of the book five stars and then the last part a one star. I really am kinda pissed at this book because the first half was so damn good and really wanted to know what happened with all the main characters but you never find out it is like the story stops at a chapter and the next chapter there are different characters and different story line just did not make sense almost stopped but thought the ending would wrap it all up for me but did not...

The central problem considered in this introduction for graduate students is the determination of rational parametrizability of an algebraic curve and, in the positive case, the computation of a good rational parametrization. This amounts to determining the genus of a curve: its complete singularity structure, computing regular points of the curve in small coordinate fields, and constructing linear systems of curves with prescribed intersection multiplicities. The book discusses various optimality criteria for rational parametrizations of algebraic curves.

I didnt even catch that this was a mosquito spray. My first thought was this was some kind of wood polish spray, and it all went downhill from there. :)
Here, let me save everyone the trouble of asking. "Do you even work in advertising?"
osea que si el mosquito se va por la ventana será mucho más difícil encontrarlo porque tiene mas espacio a donde huir...
en tal caso hubieran puesto una ventana falsa como se usa en las caricaturas osea que simule ser una ventana!!!
it's a good photo but i don't know it's too easy, it's not the good visuel for this idea.
it's a good idea !
I like it, this shows that when you spray the mosquito spray the mosquitoes will die because it's so strong that they have absolutely no escape.
good work!
La vuelta es bastante interesante, aunque el producto final no lo sea tanto.

You can now begin automations based on dates. An automation can start before, after, or on a specific date.
This trigger is particularly useful for events, and recurring transactions, such as a subscription, or contract renewals.
You can now begin automations based on dates. An automation can start before, after, or on a specific date.
This trigger is particularly useful for events, and recurring transactions, such as a subscription, or contract renewals.
Today we are releasing the ActiveCampaign Gmail Chrome extension as a BETA release.
Now, without leaving Gmail, you'll be able to:
Add contacts to your ActiveCampaign account
We've added onto the Goals feature we announced last week, making it even more helpful. Now you'll be able to see how many of the contacts going through your automations have completed goals.
You'll be able to see the goal conversion rate next to any automations with goal actions in them:
Mousing over that will bring up information about the conversion rate for specific goals:
In the image above, 432 is the number of times contacts have entered the automation and 112 & 130 are the number of times contacts have met each respective goal.
This addition makes our new Goals feature a way to track how effective your automations are at accomplishing their purpose.
Let us know what you think about this update in the comments section!
You can now define goals for your automations. As goals are achieved, contacts will jump to other locations in your automation.
The goals you create can be used to begin other automations, send more targeted messages to your contacts, adjust contact and lead scores, and more.
For instance, you might have a series of emails motivating a contact to request a free consultation. You could create a goal that is "Appointment booked through Acuity Scheduling."
When that goal is met, the contact can skip the rest of the marketing emails and jump deeper into the automation; beginning a new sequence of messages that helps the contact prepare for their consultation.
You might also create a goal for "Contact makes a purchase." When that goal is achieved, your automation could immediately mark any open deals as won and begin a sequence of new customer onboarding emails:
You can find the Goal action under the "Conditions and Workflow" section of the automation actions menu.
When you add a goal action to an automation, you'll be presented with a modal window that helps you set up the goal. You can give the goal a name and you'll be prompted to specify the conditions that define the goal:
You could use any condition in our segment builder to create a goal including:
By using "And" conditions, you can create multi-dimensional goals such as "If a contact has visited my pricing page AND they've submitted a form requesting our whitepaper AND their contact score is greater than 75."
Using "Or" conditions, you can create goals triggered when one of many criteria are met. For instance, "When their deal score is over 60 OR their deal moves to the 'Contract signed' stage of the pipeline."
Next, you'll define whether the contact should jump to the goal from anywhere in the automation or only if the goal is below the contact's position in the automation. "Below contact's position" is a way to make the goal conditional. If they've already passed the goal in the workflow, they won't trigger the goal (even if they match the conditions you've defined).
With this new action you'll be able to consolidate and simplify your automations. Automations that previously would have to be split into parts can now be combined into a single automation. Automations that were only possible with multiple "If/Else" checks are easier to create.
We've added the 18th way to begin an automation: the Goal trigger.
Now automations can begin when a goal is "achieved" or "skipped." This trigger is useful for situations where the achievement of a goal begins a complicated, multi-step process. For instance, the achievement of a goal "Makes first purchase" might begin a series of automations with specific purposes.
There are now additional options for creating segments.
Four new conditions have been added to the segment builder under the "Actions" category:
Goal conditions make it easy to:
The possibilities opened up by the addition of goals are endless. It's a change that naturally shifts our mindset to where it should be: working toward specific, measurable results at each stage of our marketing and sales processes.
Now we are able to define the purpose of our marketing and sales processes and use the completion of those goals to measure our effectiveness, automatically pivot, and create modular workflows that automatically progress to working toward the next goal as the previous one is achieved.
Are you as excited about Goals as we are? Let me know how you'll be using Goals in the comments section.
We've added a new way to begin an automation bringing the total number of triggers to 17.
Now, when any default or custom field changes, you can begin automations to track & manage contacts, deliver automated follow-up, adjust contact & lead scores, and more.
Have you ever changed an automation only to regret it? Do you ever hesitate to modify an automation because you are worried about messing it up?
Worry no more. From this point forward, your changes will automatically be tracked and saved as you work. Now you can build and edit automations with confidence knowing that rolling back to a previous version is simple and easy.
As you are creating automations, you may wish there was a way to leave yourself reminders and explain the purpose of each step.
Or, you may have an automation you created a long time ago and now you no longer understand it.
For these reasons we've created Automation Notes. You can now add annotations to any action or trigger in an automation.
Last week we made the automation builder drag-and-drop, this week we've made it easy to see exactly where your contacts are in your automation workflows and how many contacts are in each Wait action.
A Wait action with contacts in it will display a Queue button with the number of contacts in parenthesis:
Today we are releasing a new Social Icons widget. You can now quickly and easily insert a variety of beautiful social icons into your campaigns.
We offer 16 triggers and 26 actions in our automation builder. That means there are 7,311,616 possible automations — and that's just for a 5-step automation!
There are near limitless possibilities for what you can build by combining actions and triggers in innovative ways. When you factor in the flexibility of webhooks and Event Tracking, you're limited by creativity and imagination more than anything else.
That open-ended flexibility has a downside for some people — it can create uncertainty:
Now, when you create a new automation, you'll be presented with a menu of pre-assembled automation workflow recipes that you can use for inspiration, as a starting point, or put to use immediately in your business:

How to beat homesickness when studying abroad
January 9, 2012
Traveling to another country to pursue your education can be an exciting adventure, but sometimes being so far from home can be difficult. Even if you think there's no way you'll miss the familiarity of being home, you may find that you were wrong once you actually arrive at your destination and get settled in. The best bet is to be prepared to deal with homesickness, even if you think you'll be fine.
There are a number of things you can do to help curb the longing to be back home in your own bed or surrounded by loved ones. First and foremost, keep in touch. Hearing a familiar voice, whether it belongs to a parent or a friend, can go a long way to making you feel less homesick. However, long-distance charges can be expensive, so you might want to bring along a few international calling cards. This way you can call home without running up a big phone bill.
Since you don't want to spend all of your free time on the phone, you can always talk to other international students about home. They're likely feeling the same longing for their loved ones, and sharing stories about families and life back home can be therapeutic for everyone.

My stay at this hotel was just great. The owners and the work they're doing make it a very welcoming and unique and I would stay there again anytime. They pay special attention to their guests, offering chips and salsa while you move into your room! The breakfast was satisfactory and as advertised, the room very clean with real towels. The only drawback was that there was no coffee maker in the room, but all of the other amenities and friendliness of the owners more than made up for it. They even have a desertscape in the courtyard complete with a desert tortoise! I highly recommend it.

The present invention is concerned with a light-emitting device coupled to an optical fiber. The light-emitting device is an essentially Lambertian source of emission on the surface of a semiconductor crystal mounted on a base. The receiving end of at least one optical fiber is held in position in front of the emitter with the aid of two flexible rings fitted in a cavity in a metal sleeve. The rings, sleeve, and base together form an air-tight protective container having an axial passage through which the optical fiber passes.
It is known in the field of telecommunications that certain electrical coaxial connections can be replaced by optical connections with the aid of optical fibers placed in a suitable envelope and interconnecting a light-emitting source and a light-receiver. These optical fibers, consisting of a cylindrical core and a sheath with a refractive index different from that of the core, in fact offer the advantage of being insensitive to unwanted external interference. They also have a lower attenuation coefficient than traditional coaxial cables, so that they can be used in high frequency ranges on the order of gigahertz.
A single fiber is generally used to form an optical connection. It is either single-mode when it operates with very directional and coherent source of radiation, it is multimode when the source is not monochromatic. Nevertheless, in certain cases, particularly for reasons of security in transmission, a number of fibers may be grouped into a bundle in an envelope to form an optical connection.
The use of an optical fiber or a bundle of optical fibers nevertheless presents a certain number of difficulties, particularly with regard to its or their coupling to the source of emission.
It is known that the angle of acceptance of an optical fiber does not exceed 10� generally. Consequently, if the source of emission is highly directional, such as a laser, its coupling with the fiber can be satisfactorily effected. However, if the source of emission radiates into space essentially according to Lambert's law (a Lambertian source), only a small quantity of the light emitted by the source is able to enter the fiber.
In most applications, the sources of emission used are light-emitting diodes formed on the surface of a semiconductor crystal. These diodes transmit light from that surface either directly to the outside, or indirectly after passing through the material composing the crystal. The light is emitted according to a law comparable to Lambert's law. to ensure optimum transmission of data, it is therefore desirable to maximizing the light entering the fiber, or the bundle of fibers, and therefore to exercise the greatest care in centering the source of emission and fixing its distance in relation to the receiving face of the fiber or bundle of fibers. The severity of this problem increases as the cross-section of the receiving face of the fiber or of the bundle of fiber becomes smaller than the surface of the source of emission.
The mutual centering and the maintenance in position of the source of emission and of the fiber or the bundle of fibers may be effected by a well-known procedure which consists principally in fixing the source of emission on a base and applying a radial pressure to the fiber or bundle of fibers with the aid of, for example, at least one flexible and elastic ring.
The best known means of applying this radial pressure to the ring are relatively varied. One of the simplest of these known means consists of inserting the ring in a nondeformable housing of configuration and dimensions essentially identical to the configuration and external dimensions of the ring. By now applying to the ring a pressure in the longitudinal direction, since the housing is nondeformable the ring necessarily undergoes a centripetal deformation.
This deformation must be sufficient to keep the optical fiber in place but must not cause the fiber to crack or break.
This clamping problem, which is complicated with even a single ring, becomes more difficult to resolve when there are several rings placed at the end of the fiber to ensure that it is optimally centered.
In fact, the existence of several clamping points means that the radial pressure applied to the optical fiber should be equally distributed between them so as to avoid internal deformation of the crystal structure of the fiber or even its breakage. This problem becomes more acute as the diameter of the fiber becomes smaller.
A solution recently proposed by the applicants in French patent application No. 79 11 451, consists in clamping the end of the optical fiber in a rigid sleeve which is itself subjected to the radial pressure exerted by the flexible and elastic rings.
This solution requires some care and precision in the positioning of the sleeve and in the insertion of the assembly in the rings, each previously inserted in a housing hollowed out inside a metal sheath.
Furthermore, certain applications may necessitate hermetically sealing the device against ambient atmospheric or chemical agents. However, a sequence of rings or tubes of various natures means as many successive interfaces which, in the event of a fault, however slight, may contribute to the occurrence of leaks.
An object of the present invention is to provide a simple and effective optical coupling device which can be rapidly implemented and which is suitable for various kinds of optical fibers, particularly small-diameter optical fibers.
The invention provides a light emitting device coupled to an optical fiber comprising an essentially Lambertian source of emission on the surface of a semiconductor crystal mounted on a base. At least one optical fiber, whose end is adapted to receive the radiation emitted by the source of emission, is held in position by two flexible rings fitted into a cavity in a metal sleeve. The metal sleeve and the base form a protective air-tight case having an axial passage through which the fiber passes. The rings each have a conical portion, the first ring fitting into one end of the cavity which has been given an essentially identical shape and the second ring fitting into a corresponding conical recess formed in a movable end fitting which slides freely in the cavity in the metal sleeve. The non-conical portions of the two rings face each other and are separated by a rigid bushing. The rings are compressible against the end of the cavity in the metal sleeve so as to immobilize the optical fiber in the appropriate position by means of a clamping ring inserted in the sleeve and pressing on the movable end fitting.
The assembly formed by the two flexible rings, the bushing and the clamping ring is used for placing the optical fiber essentially on the axis of the metal sleeve and for essentially hermetically sealing the fiber in the sleeve. The fiber is subsequently aligned with and spaced from the source of emission by other means.
The source of emission and the end of the optical fiber enclosed in the protective housing formed by the substrate and the metal sleeve form a fixed and preset subassembly which can be used to advantage to form a connector.
To improve the efficiency of transmission still further, and according to a preferred mode of implementation of the invention, the distance between the semi-conductor crystal and the receiving end of the optical fiber is occupied by a transparent resin with a refractive index equal to that of the core of the fiber.
The dimensions of the flexible rings and their housing in the sleeve, and also those of the rigid bushing, having been suitably chosen in advance, placing the end of the fiber in relation to the source of emission at the appropriate lateral position and at the appropriate distance is ensured by a simple operation providing sufficient guarantee of precision.
The substrate carrying the source of emission, and the metal sleeve are generally cylindrical. Advantageously, all the main elements in the subassembly may also be cylindrical.
It is advantageous if the clamping ring acting on the movable end fitting is a threaded ring screwing into the wall of the cavity of the metal sleeve.
The source of emission in the optical device according to the invention may be a light-emitting diode made from a Group III-V compound.
In a first embodiment of the invention the flexible rings are made of a polymerized synthetic material such as polyamide, tetrafluorethylene or acetal, with the bushing being made preferably of iron-nickel and the sleeve of nickel.
In a second embodiment the flexible rings may be of a deformable metal such as tin, lead, indium or gold or of an alloy comprising, inter alia, at least one of those materials.
The present invention also provides a process for implementing the optical coupling, in which the end of an optical fiber is inserted in the cavity of a metal sleeve having at one end a first flexible ring separated from a second flexible ring by a rigid bushing. Each of the rings comprises at least one conical part. After the receiving end of the fiber has been placed through and at the desired distance from the rings, a movable end fitting and a clamping ring are inserted successively into the cavity. Finally, the sleeve is fixed on a base which is at least partly of metal and holds the source of emission which is connected electrically to the outside by output terminals.
The longitudinal positioning of the optical fiber in the sleeve is carried out with the aid of a gauge placed flat against the receiving end of the fiber in order to precisely set the distance between the receiving end and the source of emission. The alignment of the source of emission with the receiving end of the fiber, already partially achieved by centering the fiber in the metal sleeve during the clamping of the flexible rings, is improved further by lateral adjustment of the base relative to the sleeve before the latter is fixed in position. This adjustment is achieved by suitable means. It is, for example, possible to use a light-receiver coupled to the other end of the optical fiber, which receives the light from the source of emission when the latter is operated. The best adjustment corresponds to the maximum light received.
It is advantageous if, before the receiving end of the optical fiber and the semiconductor crystal carrying the source of emission are aligned, a drop of polymerizable transparent resin with a refractive index equal to that of the core of the fiber is deposited on the end of the fiber.
The optical fiber generally consists of a core and a cladding both of transparent substances such as glass but with different refractive indices. The fiber is covered with a protective coating of an opaque plastic material. Also, the flexible rings may be made either of a synthetic material or of a soft metal.
Consequently, in a first embodiment of the process corresponding to the case in which the rings are of synthetic material, it is preferable to keep the plastic coating of the fiber at least within the rings.
In a second embodiment of the process corresponding to the case in which the rings are of a soft deformable metal, it is preferable to eliminate the protective coating of the fiber at least within the rings.
Both embodiments of the process are prompted by the desire to ensure a hermetic seal.
The description which follows, taken in conjunction with the appended drawings, which are given by way of indication only and are not exhaustive, will facilitate the comprehension of what constitutes the invention.
FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively, are cross-sectional views of embodiments of the metal sleeve and the rings forming part of the invention.
FIG. 3 shows schematically and in cross-section an entire optical coupling device according to the invention.
It should be noted that the dimensions in the figures are considerably exaggerated and are not in proportion, the aim being to make the drawings clear.
As FIG. 1 shows, the metal sleeve 1, which forms a portion of the protective housing of the optical device, contains a cavity 2. End 3 of cavity 2 has a conical configuration. Cavity 2 is generally cylindrical in shape.
An axial passage 4 connects end 3 of cavity 2 to the outside of sleeve 1. An optical fiber can be passed through passage 4. End 5 of the cavity 2, opposite to end 3, is threaded over a predetermined distance. Towards this same end 5, the metal sleeve ends in a shoulder 6 which has on its surface 6a a continuous ridge 6b which is essentially triangular in section.
The metal sleeve 1 will preferably be made of nickel but might be made from any other metal which is sufficiently rigid, is not porous, and which can adhere to the substrate which will carry the source of emission. Referring to FIG. 2, flexible rings 7 and 8, separated by a bushing 9, will be inserted in cavity 2 of the sleeve 1 upon assembling the optical coupling. Rings 7 and 8 have the shape of a truncated cone, the cone angle of ring 7 being essentially identical to that of end 3 of cavity 2 in sleeve 1.
The rings 7 and 8 may be made from a polyamide such as that known under the trade name of "nylon", or of tetrafluoroethylene, or preferably from an acetal resin such as, in particular, that known under the trade name to "Delrin". They may also be made from a deformable soft metal, chosen either singly or in any combination, from the series comprising tin, lead, indium and gold.
Bushing 9 is made of iron-nickel and forms a tube whose external diameter, d, is essentially equal to diameter, D, of the cylindrical portion of cavity 2 of metal sleeve 1.
FIG. 3 shows the construction of an optical device embodying the invention. The optical device comprises an optical fiber 10 consisting of a cladding and a core of transparent substances with different refractive indices. The cladding and the core are represented in the fiber by a single reference 10a. This fiber 10 is covered with a protective coating 10b of an opaque plastic.
In the example chosen, in which the flexible rings 7 and 8 are of soft metal, the fiber has been stripped of its coating 10b over the portion which has to be introduced into metal sleeve 1.
The optical fiber 10 introduced into sleeve 1 via passage 4 is clamped by means of rings 7 and 8, which are separated by bushing 9. The pressure exerted on the rings 7 and 8 is obtained by tightening a threaded clamping ring 11 in threaded portion 5 of cavity 2. The ring 11 rests on a movable end fitting 12 containing a conical recess 13 with a cone angle essentially identical to that of ring 8.
When ring 11 is tightened, the axial pressure undergone by ring 7 against end 3 of cavity 2 and by ring 8 immobilized between bushing 9 and end fitting 12 is partly transformed into radial pressure which causes a radial deformation of the rings. This deformation, which can only take place in holes 7a and 8a in the rings, causes the optical fiber 10 to be clamped in a position determined in advance with the aid of a gauge.
After positioning optical fiber 10 in sleeve 1, the sleeve is placed vertically against a metallic base 14 carrying the source of emission 15 and incorporating output terminals 16 and 17.
With the aid of the source of emission, 15 and of a light-receiver connected to the output end of the optical fiber opposite the receiving end 19, it is possible to determine the optimum site for the sleeve 1 on the base. Once this site has been determined, the sleeve 1 can be fixed permanently to the base, preferably by crimping ridge 6b.
In the example chosen, the source of emission 15 is preferably a light-emitting diode radiating from its acitve surface 15a in accordance with Lamert's law. Diode 15 comprises two regions with opposite types of conduction, one of which is connected directly by the base to output terminal 16 and the other to output 17 (insulated from the base) via a wire 18.
This diode may consist of, for example, a semiconductor crystal made from a III-V compound.
Additionally, the optical connection between the receiving end 19 of fiber 10 and the source of emission 15 can be improved by applying a drop of transparent polymerizable resin (not shown in FIG. 3) with a refractive index equal to that of the core of fiber 10. This drop will, in that case, preferably be deposited on the end 19 of fiber 10 before it is lined up with surface 15a of crystal 15.

A smashing pumpkin! The giant vegetable weighing in at 1,100lbs that took six months to grow
- The pumpkin was grown by twins Ian and Stuart Paton
- Ian currently holds the national record for a 1,300lb specimen
- World record recently set at 2,009lbs by a grower in Rhode Island
With Halloween just weeks away, parents across the country will be no doubt planning to turn a pumpkin or two into Jack O'Lantern to scare would-be trick-or-treaters.
But anyone wanting to use this particular vegetable for their frightful plans may want to start carving now.
The giant vegetable stands one metre high and weighs more than 1,100lbs.
Ian and Stuart Paton, 51, who grow flowers for a living, have nurtured the gigantic vegetable for the past six months in their bid to grow the largest one for miles around.
Toddler Bailey Martin is dwarfed by the giant pumpkin, which weighs 1,100lbs
Ian, from Pennington, Hampshire, has been growing pumpkins - which are part of the squash family - for 40 years and currently holds the national record for a 1,300lbs specimen.
The gardener has been hard at work all year to overcome the poor weather conditions in his attempt to retain the winning title at the Jubilee Sailing Trust's pumpkin festival next month.
He said: 'This year was not very good because of the weather. We got three good pumpkins after planting out six.
'That's really important. But there are a couple of other good growers around that we need to watch out for.'
'Our secret is just very good feeds and keeping them topped up with a balanced diet of waters and fertilisers.
Ambition: The growers hope to break the world record next year
Toddler Bailey Martin, one, was pictured having fun climbing over the gigantic gourd - which sits at a staggering one metre high - at their nursery near Lymington, Hampshire.
The record for the world's heaviest pumpkin has been shattered twice in the US in the past five days.
On Sunday, organisers at the Topsfield Fair in Rhode Island said Ron Wallace of Greene, Rhode Island, had broken the world record with a pumpkin weighing in at 2,009lbs.
Just a few days earlier, on Thursday last week, a pumpkin grown by Steve Geddes of Boscawen, New Hampshire, weighed in at 1,843.50lbs.
Organisers at the Deerfield Fair in New Hampshire claimed then that Geddes' gourd had broken the world record.
Despite this year's poor weather, Mr Paton has stated his determination to beat the world record next year.
He added: 'We're going to put the flowers under a shade and put buckets of ice with the plants to keep them nice and cool.
'Because we grow flowers for a living, we have a bit of an advantage.
'We're definitely going to go after that world record next year - we want to be remembered in the books.
'It's a costly hobby, keeping a 650sq foot greenhouse going, but its worth it to see the kids' faces at the show.'
The brothers will be using a small truck and a forklift to carry the pumpkin, plus its 800lbs and 900lbs neighbours, to the show.
In previous years, pumpkins have been carved into miniature boats with motors and massive jack-o-lanterns.
The pair have said that all money raised will go straight to charity.
Some of the UK's most super-sized vegetables are showcased every year at the UK National Giant Vegetables Championships.
The monster veg can be so gigantic that forklift trucks are used to move them into display.
A new world-record breaking 18.5ft parsnip was one of more than 200 vegetables unveiled at the competition in the Somerset town of Shepton Mallet last month.
root vegetable is an eye-popping 36 times bigger than the standard
parsnip and was lovingly grown by Peter Glazebrook, 68, from Newark,
The retired chartered surveyor has previously held the world record for a 8lbs 40oz potato.
He has also been the double Guinness World Record holder for the heaviest parsnip, at 13lb, and the longest beetroot, at 21ft.
The veteran grower's record-busting reputation is rivalled by Joe Atherton, 56, from Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire. He snapped up the world record for the longest carrot, which he grew to an enormous 19ft 2inches in 2007.
He also held the world record for the heaviest leek, at 6.6kg, in 2001.

This is bad. BAD movie. I didn't realize the Block Buster had section
for B Movies.
I agree that actors were not at fault with this. Problem is, they tried to make up low budget with CGI. The writer should be sent back to writer school. I felt it was written with little understanding what they were writing about. Battleship's handling submarines? American's using Russian Nuclear Submarines?
Kookie billionarie, wants nuke the world and make them live under the seas in ruins of a ancient civilization, thinking hiding under the sea is after destroying surface of the planet will result in better society? Unless your one those people who see this film as potential movie to use old Mystery Science Theater 3000 dialog. Stay away from this film, its not worth the rental. Maybe laugh at writer's cheap gimmick movie.
I took my gf to this movie, it was great.
The movie struck me as it dug into my psychie movie on how you perceive the world and the relationships we have. Not everything is what it seems. The director/write did great job putting this together, from the cast to dialog story itself. Emotional roller-coaster that Juno has to go thru, dealing with issues which would not normally be dealt with with her tender age.
Only quirks i though were little unusual, was Juno herself was incredibly rare. A girl, 16 into so many old old rockin roll (1970s) and pop culture things stuck me being cool but high unlikely. However, its still movie not suppose to be dead on. Specially in comedy.
Great movie, sharp pop-cultured dialog and great story telling. Anyone who isn't up on the their pop-culture however, maybe thrown off by the dialog and not understand whats people are talking about.
I can't believe they thought this movie was worth producing. It maybe
the number 1 in box office, doesn't make it a good movie. Just a lot
people who thought it was 21st Century's version of Airplane (type
parody). Sorry, I think pop culture spoofing of other movies are
generally good when its actually done with someone who actually has
talent in writing funny things.
That was simply a stupid filler movie with bits for 2007. With very few bits that were funny enough to smirk. I've seen TV original comedy movies, like example Men in White, being funnier than this train wreck of a movie. It could be just sign of me getting old, but only people generally laughing in theater was teenagers who properly haven't seen a decent comedy movie before.
I and my girlfriend wanted to see a nice comedy. We got it.
This isn't like the heavy, edgier comedies that have come out within last couple years. This is a mice and balance comedy, that isn't too wishy washie for people whom don't care for "bland" comedies.
Stiller is top notch for the father and everyday man. A lot surprises and funny moments for kids and adults alike. Its nice seeing him play the straight man for once. With all his Edgier/"dare i say stupid" comedy movies he's done in the past. This was certainly nice change pace.
Good Flick, lite plot, but don't get too picky. Take as it is.
Its heck of nice advertising movie for museums and history!
This was great movie, little goofy for some people.
Bringing the (semi-fictional) Radio Show's last night on the air to life was wonderful. Such great cast with great chemistry.
I think Kevin Kline's sense humor was bit over the top, but his character fin with the unusual cast. With improving seem to make it better.
I think its was good ending to Mr. Altman's career. I wish he was able to continue "rebeling" as he did in this film. Against the big movie companies that made movies just another product and not something better or more.
This was one the many quaint and amusing cartoon shows produced in the
70s. The art was so-so, among 2nd to the last American made cartoons.
I watched this show as it was aired on its Saturday morning cartoon slot. (yes i am old.)
One of the lesser known things about this show is that character known as Chopper (voiced by Frank Welker) seem to carry-on beyond this show. Chopper (aka a talking, winter hat wearing chopper motorcycle) and leader of gang had this particular speak-problem. A lisp when he talked that sounded like a mechanical "cha-pa" kind noise, sounding like a motor sputter. This was some how carried over to the a early 1990s cartoon character in show named "Bonic Six" and again character's name was Chopper.
The 2006 Pixar movie, Cars, has strong resemblance to this old cartoon.
The Muppets Tonight was 1st serious attempt to make a dedicated
television show for the Muppets. It was different, and it had
potential. The guest stars of amazing quality, and new spin on how
original Muppet Show was done.
However, it had to deal with changed world. After 2 brief seasons, Oklahoma City bombing accrued. Which rattled America, and it was key factors of the cancellation of the this young and potential show. The episode which was to be are, if memory services right few weeks after the bombing, introduced an old character. Crazy Harry, one of the Muppet show's original characters, a mad bomber. Television executives made the decision that this was too much and too soon after the Oklahoma bombing, so the squashed the episode.
Later entire show was squashed. America changed, it became hyper sensitive about its viewing content on Television. Thus, Muppet Tonight one of its very first victims. Disney owned show transferred the show to its Disney Channel and it quietly shown in reruns for short while and died. Creative of the Muppets had been lost with the passing of Henson, thus no new motivations to push keep the new show going and being original as "Show" was. This is a private view, but I believe is the correct one. As of that date of this review. No new original Muppet oriented material has come out since Muppets Tonight. Only re-has, redo, television movies and Direct to video material.
Shadow Chronicles is a relaunch of the US Robotech Animated TV Series.
The movie/OVA deals with events that accrued on last episode of its "third" series. A key character from old series, Scott Bernard, leaving his beloved "Marlene/Ariel" begin the search of giant warship named SDF-3. By joining the surviving ships of the Robotech Expedition Force to discover what happened to the Invid and SDF-3.
From what has been printed about this OVA, it is a modified story based on the Robotech novel "End of the Circle" which was suppose to be the completion of the original series in printed form.
This is the strongest attempt to produce a actual sequel to the series. Previous attempt, Robotech II: The Sentinels (1986) which failed to be completely produced due to production cost changes between Japan & USA.
Sentinels was published in Novel form as well in form of a successful comic book series till it was canceled in mid-90s by Harmony Gold.
Thou it is high quality, i do not think its as good as the original series. I know its tough act to follow. However, the CGI does not blend well with hand drawn animation.
Well, was lucky to have seen the series before it came to USA and i
think its not too bad.
I grew up on watching later doctor who series with Tom Baker and successors.
I think people maybe bit too critical at the moment. Christopher Eccleston is only actor, but he chose how to play his role he knew historically was going be different from those played it before him.
Series, canon is completely different universe. Timelords are dead. The Doctor has no nemesis who just as crafty and as intelligent as he is.
I do think series needs branch out and try exploring again. Freshing out the series is something to has to be done. Now Christopher Eccleston is no longer the doctor. Maybe the writers will allow character to take on different persona. If any old Dr. Who fans remember, each time he generates a different personality quirks had come up.
Also, a lot people forgetting. Show has to keep the attention of the young generations. It has to be relevant to current popular trends since it show more expensive to produce and harder to keep kids attention span. It not just for the Generation X anymore! It sounds like a lot people want to resume the where the old series left off.
I don't think its going to happen. Slow stories seldom survive on short-attention span television anymore. Which is unfortunate, but i believe is true.
I do hope those series will survive long enough to satisfy & entertain everyone it was intended for.
This was not what i had expected from hearing of the film. I'm not big
on mafia or crime based movies. However, this was certainly brilliantly
executed story. Vin Diesel is very good at putting himself into the
soul of the person he was portraying in this film. It shows, he was
convincing in his part of this film.
Not everyday, you can actually want this case go well for the defendant. It is specially when it was true case about people who were in very well in within term "bad people".
However, Vince show that his character despite all his flaws. Meant what he says that "I love ya u guys" and about "family" in real sense of the word. He was very good in his role, along with rest of the supporting cast members. I hope that this film gets the support it deserves and people will give it chance.

Against this backdrop of hope and change, a friendship begins to blossom between high school students Umi (Sarah Bolger) and Shun (Anton Yelchin) - but a buried secret from their past emerges to cast a shadow on the future and pull them apart.

Really good movie! I got the Japanese BD as soon as it was released last year, but I might get this as well as I want to have access to the English dub. I usually go with the Japanese track but I like to mix it up sometimes.
Should get Kurenai no Buta early next week.

I have chosen the title "New Beginnings". Although we all have but one life here on earth, I do believe we have new beginnings within our lives. My life has changed drastically since my accident and I felt that I needed to find a new avenue to take and to rediscover myself.
I love photographer. I was injured years ago in a MVA and for the past few years have not been able to work. So, I have been looking into an activity that i can enjoy and am not in severe pain from. So far this is the one I enjoy very much. My husband and I go out each weekend, weather permitting, and randomly drive around southwestern Ontario looking for things that peek our interest.

Average Rating: 4/5 stars (7 reviews)
86% would recommend it to a friend.
I found that I needed to add a more heavy duty tool to my arsenal for cutting the binding wire for both my Cinch and Zutter. I was having to apply allot of pressure with the other cutter I had and was at times hard for me to do with my hand. I love this tool not only because of how easy it cuts the wire, but then without having to switch tools I can bend the end of the wire if I need to.
These work great! Very easy to use and cuts wire like butter..
Haven't used yet, but seem to be good quality.
they work well and they're pink.
I was reluctant to get Cinch Wire Clippers because we had something similar in our tool box. Well, those were not adequate, so I did buy these. It works great, it's sturdy, and does its job well. I have problems with my wrist and this not only fit comfortably in my hands, but it didn't require much pressure at all to cut the wires were and how I needed to.
I wouldn't cut my cinch wires with anything else.
Used in this image: Maya Road Tab Mini Album
I was a little bit disappointed in these wire clippers. They do not have a spring in the handle so you have to open the handle.
I received a simple wire clippers , unlike what I see in this picture .... 😰😡😢😥

Benefit of Taking Noni
Posted by 4684959341893246605 on Jun 13, 2016
More then a decade ago, I had a down time and was suffering from severe insomnia and didn't sleep well for 3 months. Felt like heart attack anytime and torturing. An acquaintance asked me to try Noni juice after he did some research on the benefits that legend has it some 2000+ years. After my first intake, I slept deep like a baby after months and it is immediate effect. Recently due to stress, I wasn't able to sleep well, half asleep, sometimes few days not able to sleep. My healthy like deterioration, I remembered Noni Juice, immediately I bought 3 bottles from Herb. I took 5 big tablespoons (3 big chinese soup spoon) full of Noni Juice and I tell you, not only I slept deep it also helps me in my health. Take honey lemon for cleaning in empty stomach first thing in the morning, drinks lotsa clean water during the day. Take Noni Juice before sleep.

Posted by Reviewer2625821 on Dec 09, 2011
I was given Noni Juice by my nutritionist as a possible help for the pain of fibromyalgia. I used it for months and then decided it was too expensive. However, after a month or two without this juice I was in so much pain and misery that I ordered it again. Within a few days I could tell the difference. I won't "dicker" with what works. I highly recommend it to anyone suffering from Fibromyalgia. It helps me stay away from prescriptions with only dump acid into my system and that makes fibro worse or just masks the symptoms.
