Top Five Trade Destinations for Leo Komarov
Ryan Fancey
February 08 2016 01:54PM
Leo Komarov has turned in an impressive season for the Leafs so far, which included an early-season spot among the league's leading goal-scorers, and has even gone as far as earning him an All-Star nod. But in the second half of the season things have not gone so easily, and while his goal tally is still impressive, Komarov's output is now settling back near the pedestrian pace he's shown in the past.
While Komarov was setting the league on fire at the beginning of the season, many folks argued for trading him while his stock was highest, especially considering he turns thirty next January and the team is still somewhat in blowup mode. We obviously don't know if that had ever been a consideration earlier this year, or if this make-believe market of GMs falling over themselves to get him was ever a reality. But either way, it's still something the Leafs should probably explore, and if they do, here are five destinations that could make sense for Leo Komarov.
Guess Who's Back: Leafs Recall Arcobello, Leivo and Clune From the Marlies

With the Maple Leafs about to embark on a four-game road trip that will take them through Western Canada, the team was forced to make a few roster changes this morning. Mark Arcobello, Josh Leivo and Rich Clune have been recalled from the Marlies.
Top to Bottom: Checking in with each team as the Trade Deadline approaches
Cam Lewis
February 08 2016 09:45AM
We're four months deep into the NHL season and the trade deadline is right around the corner. Time flies, I know. By now, it's become clear for most organizations as to whether they'll be buying or selling at the deadline, but there are still a handful of teams that aren't very good but are right in the mix, floating around in some kind of grey area. In this month's check in, I'm going to break down where each team is at as we head into the home stretch, and who should be opting to sell their assets and start focusing on the future, and who should be interested in buying to fuel their playoff aspirations.

Did you miss me?! *cricket noises*
Okay, okay, so I'm sure that having Bobby and Cat in my place on the mailbag hot seat was a blast, but those two have more important things to do with their lives, so you're stuck with little ol' me again. Let's take a look and see what you all had on your minds!

Accommodations: Information about academic accommodations can be found here, and the form to request accommodations can be found here.
Basic Life Support Training: As a component of Doctoring, it is mandatory that all students be certified in Basic Life Support (BLS). The four-hour BLS course will be held during Orientation on Wednesday, August 10. A booklet entitled "Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers," published by the American Heart Association, will be made available to you on the day of the course. No review prior to the course is necessary. If you have already been certified for BLS, please provide Eileen Palenchar at email@example.com with proof of your certification prior to Friday, July 29. Please note that we can only accept certification from a classroom-based, American Heart Association-approved BLS for Healthcare Providers course, and certification is only valid for two years. We encourage students to take the course offered during Orientation, even if already certified, in order to remain on the same training cycle as the rest of your class; otherwise, you will ultimately end up being responsible for the cost of the off-cycle training.
Canvas Course Web Site: Classes will begin during Orientation week. Canvas is the course management system used by Brown. Resources such as textbook lists and grading policies will be posted here. You will be notified once you can access the Canvas site for the MD20 class.
Community Mentor: As part of the Doctoring course, you will spend a half day each week with a community-based physician practicing the clinical skills you learn in class. You will work with one physician mentor or, in some cases, a clinical team for your first year of medical school. Mentor site placements in Year 1 are largely random assignments and non-negotiable. In your second year, you will work with a different mentor or clinical team. You will also have the opportunity in Year 2 to have some amount of say in your placement (i.e., geographic location, clinical setting, or mentor specialty). Year 1 placements will be assigned in late August.
Computer Requirement: All exams are administered electronically on ExamSoft; therefore, students are required to have an iPad or other device (e.g., laptop, tablet, etc.). You can view ExamSoft's minimum system requirements for iPads, Macs, and PCs here.
Optional individual tech support from the Office of Medical Education will be available to students on August 1, the day before Orientation officially begins. It's perfectly acceptable to bring what you have and then wait until Orientation (or later!) to make a decision on what works best for you. Discounts at the Brown Bookstore are available to you as a medical student (with your Brown ID). Click here for the AMS IT Guide.
Diagnostic Equipment for Doctoring I: It is required that each student have their own diagnostic equipment for the Doctoring course by September 13 for vital signs practice. For your convenience, the Doctoring administrators will give a "Diagnostic Equipment Overview/Demonstration" during Doctoring Orientation on August 23. Click here for the list of required equipment. More information on the Doctoring course can be found here.
Lockers: Students will receive their combined locker/mailbox 4-digit number on Day 1 of Orientation. The lockers/mailboxes are located on the second floor of the Medical School building, in the academy suites. Students will need to provide their own combination locks. Your address will be: Your Name, Brown University, The Warren Alpert Medical School, Box G-XXXX (insert your 4 digit box number), Providence, RI 02912.
MD20 Calendar: Here is the link to the MD20 Google Calendar. Please add it to your favorites. Note, this is a live calendar and subject to change!
Parking and Shuttle Information: The Alpert Medical School of Brown University has a five-story parking structure that hosts 362 parking spaces. Parking spaces can be purchased once you have your Brown ID Card. If you wish to acquire a University parking space in the garage, you will need to first register your student and vehicle information on the Transportation Office's webpage. Once completed, you can visit the University's Transportation Office, located on the fifth floor of the J. Walter Wilson Building (60 Brown Street, Suite 511). Please bring your Brown ID, along with a valid vehicle registration and insurance card, and inform the staff that you are a student at the Alpert Medical School and that you are there to get your parking assignment for the garage. You will be issued a University sticker for your vehicle and an access card that will be required for you to get in and out of the garage. By registering for University parking, you will be charged an annual fee of $615 and be responsible for compliance with all University parking regulations, which may be found on their webpage. Please note that the garage has a maximum number of available reserved spaces, so parking may not be available.
There is ample bike storage and shuttle service running to and from the Medical School from various locations on campus and the hospitals. More information is on the Transportation Office site.
Protest and Demonstration Guidelines
Wellness Center Access Form: To receive access to the 4th-floor Wellness Center and adjacent fitness room at 222 Richmond Street, students must complete the online release form here. Students will need their Brown ID number to complete the form, and it will take 48 hours to process.

Dean loves to say that their artists are as unique and individual as their instruments, which is probably why they craft such an impressive assortment of 4 string electric bass guitars. Take a look around here and you're certain to have no trouble finding the one that is perfect for you. Among Dean's most popular 4 string electric bass guitars, the Custom Zone 4-String is, far and away, the most popular. This neon dream of a bass blends outrageous colors with a beautiful basswood body. With split pickups and bolt-on construction, there's nothing about this bass that doesn't stand out.
Another gnarly bass that sure to get the rafters rumbling is the Ashley Purdy Spire War Paint Bass Guitar. Inspired by Ashley Purdy of the Black Veil Brides, this bass has its war paint on and is ready for battle in the rock and roll trenches. With two DMT designed pickups, this bass is definitely made to pound out some metal.
Dean has always built their 4 string electric bass guitars to stand out from the pack, and as you can see, they do just that. Whether you're a pro, a first time buyer, or something in between, you're definitely going to find a Dean to get the job done.

The never-ending casting call for the title character in "Captain America" continues. Ryan Phillippe is the latest Hollywood leading man to be considered for the pivotal role in the Marvel Studios movie universe.
Phillippe ("Stop-Loss," "Flags of Our Fathers") joins what has become a laundry list of actors to screen test for the role, including Mike Vogel ("She's Out of My League"), Garret Hedlund ("Tron Legacy"), Chris Evans ("Fantastic Four") and Chace Crawford ("Gossip Girl").
Another leading contender, "The Office's" John Krasinski, reportedly shot a screen test with a number of other Marvel Universe actors. This continued activity may mean the studio hasn't found what it's been looking for yet or is just doing additional due diligence.

2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 ProblemsRough Shifting of Automatic Transmission
Vehicles equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission may develop a rough shifting condition, most commonly going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Our technicians tell us this is due to an internal component failure. Mercedes has released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled to complete the necessary repairs.
The camshaft adjuster solenoid (which is related to the variable valve timing system) may fail or timing chain/balance shaft components may wear, resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light and various drivability issues. Mercedes-Benz has released a service bulletin outlining specific repair instructions depending on fault codes stored.
The engine may develop a stalling and/or no start condition due to a failed crankshaft position sensor.
2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 Questions40k miles on car. Engine quiet at idle but whines (loudly) as engine revs increase. New p/s pump made no difference. Engine after sepentine belt was briefly removed, engine still whines as RPMs rise. Cause / fix? (1 answer)

2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 RecallsPassenger Frontal Air Bag Inflator Ruptures On Deployment
The passenger frontal air bag inflator may rupture on deployment, causing metal fragments to come through the air bag and injure occupants. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag module free of charge to resolve the concern.
The driver's frontal air bag inflator may deploy the air bag with excessive pressure, resulting in the inflator rupturing and causing metal debris to be sprayed onto vehicle occupants. Dealers will replace the driver's frontal air bag module free of charge to resolve the concern.
Mercedes Benz is recalling 2010 C-Class, model 204; E-Class, model 212; and 2010–2011 E-Class Coupe/Cabriolet, model 207 vehicles due to a loss of power steering fluid that could result in power steering system failure. Owners may not have sufficient control of the vehicle in areas like parking lots, thus increasing the chance of a crash. Dealers will check and re-torque the connection fitting, free of charge.

When I first saw "vogueing" — that is, the manufactured version of it presented in Madonna's "Vogue" video — all I wanted to do was define it. It's a dance, but it's about rigidity. It's gay, but it's a pantomime of commonplace fashion spreads. It's self-presentational, attitudinal, geometric, contorted, winkingly narcissistic, actually narcissistic, and stony-smirky-silly-serious fierce. It's a mirage, but it's undeniable. It's just the best. And when you see the real thing as presented in the unforgettable 1991 documentary Paris is Burning, you realize that the act of "striking a pose" is just a warped-ass, queeny way of being yourself in the face of your real-life hardship, minority status, and what the world's done to morph you and your flagrant gayness into something much less OP-U-LENT.
I'm obviously preaching to the realness choir here, but there's a thundering righteousness to the subjects of Paris is Burning that is just timeless. For newbies, Paris is Burning chronicles vogueing balls (or "voguing" — my spelling invariably will flip several times throughout this post, I'm sure) in Harlem, spectacles of dance, runway strutting, and decadance where mostly black and Latino gay (or trans) men competed for adoration, respect of their colleagues, and huge trophies in the late '80s. Many of these queens were hustlers and thieves in their day-to-day lives, which explains how some of them acquired the dramatic furs and evening gowns of the runway competitions, but there's a defiant joie de vivre about every ball denizen here. Ambition. Intention. A husk of rouge and foundation.
The vogueing in the movie sort of reminded me of So You Think You Can Dance, which is so far the only thing I'm truly torqued about this summer. I guess Kylie Minogue's "Timebomb" is up there too? And the sun. I like the sun. But the point is, I wanted a reason to revisit Paris is Burning for the Best Movie Ever section because 1) it's rewatchability factor is staggering, 2) it's got unforgettable characters, and 3) nothing could be cooler, funnier, more truthful, more tragic, and real. Real. It seems like a word that doesn't matter anymore, but it's the only word that can accurately describes Paris is Burning's harsh sparkle. Here are five reasons it may be the executive realness of all cinema.
1. Every queen is my favorite.
You may have noticed that I'm obsessed with ranking people and things, which is why I'm sad to report that every queen featured in Paris is Burning is my favorite. They are unrankable elites. Let's start with the late Dorian Corey, one of the film's many featured queens who gives killer quote. (Though as far as I know, she's the only one to have killed, mummified, and hidden the body of man who tried to attack her — allegedly.) Dorian is the film's calmest and wisest voice, and she legitimizes drag ball culture with one unassuming insight: "If everyone went to balls and did less drugs, it'd be a fun world, wouldn't it?" She also speaks of Lena Horne as a muse, and I have to award snaps for that.
Legendary ballroom master Willi Ninja is another treasure of the film, as is the wan, sighing Venus Xtravaganza, a young queen who's both coquettish and truly dangerous. We learn a horrifying secret about Venus at the film's end, but before that, she unleashes a gnarly quote justifying her perilous prostitution gigs. Ahem: "A woman, in the suburbs, a regular woman, if you want your husband to buy a washer and dryer set, I'm sure she'd have to go to bed with him, to give him something he wants, to get what she wants. So, in the long run, it all ends up the same way." A stinging indictment, no? But it sounds sincere and empathetic coming from Venus, as she's sporting a cheeky grin and wicked Jessica Hahn hair. Never forget the fresh Pepper Labeija, the Pendarvis clan, or drag runway star Octavia St. Laurent, who looks like Jody Watley's hair-whipping twin sister.
2. Gays. Love. Categories.
Paris is Burning ingeniously chronicles drag balls by defining their each round of play with big title cards and explanations. Among the categories: "Schoolboy/Schoolgirl Realness," where a queen wears preppy Yale clothes and imitates a rich scholar, "Town and Country," where contestants dress in equestrian regalia and mimic country-club flair, and "Luscious Body," where a queen saunters around in her birthday suit and flaunts her lusciousness. The sheer amount of categories makes these drag balls seem like their own Olympics. I'd like to see Pepper Labeija whip out a discus from her purse and toss it at the crowd of aghast spectactors. Or Willi Ninja use samurai methods to clear the high jump. Fierce forever.
3. The hilarious and STRICT ballroom rules
The categories of play sound fun and kitschy enough, but you have to remember that very strict barristers judge the contestants. During a more glamorous round where queens dressed as high-fashion ladies, the announcer enforces a mandate on accessories. "Now come on, it is a known fact that a woman do carry an evening bag at dinner time. There's no getting around that," he proclaims. "You see it on Channel 7 between All My Children and Jeopardy — Another World, Dallas, and the whole bit. You have to carry something. No lady is sure at night." At another juncture, a contestant is criticized harshly for wearing a fur coat that isn't manly enough for the themed round. He protests loudly and loses that battle before Dorian Corey can lift an eyebrow.
4. Bizarre and eye-popping celebrity cameos
I'd say Paris is Burning's most underrated feature is a newscast of New York celebrities commenting on the art of vogueing. Broadway legned (and Tony magnet) Gwen Verdon notes, "It's just so theatrical! And oh, the energy! It's just terrific." Fran Lebowitz pipes in with an assertive, "It's institutionalized showing off. But not without its entertainment value." The movie spends much of its runtime allowing drag practitioners the chance to explain what they do, so the glimpse of mainstream outsiders is kind of surprising and cool. I only wish they could've gotten tape of Madonna during her episode of VH1's Behind the Music describing what vogueing is: "It's so arrogant and presentational and there. I think it's hilarious."
5. It deals with ALL the big issues.
Paris is Burning is half about art, half about survival. Director Jennie Livingston may not have picked up an Oscar nomination for making this exceptional film, but she exposes us to a world of dynamos who escape to ballrooms as a means of transcending lives of derision, abandonment, poverty, and in many cases AIDS. There should've been a ballroom category called "A Little Too Real-ness" for those participants in the section devoted to imitating "the boy that probably robbed you a few minutes before you came to Paris' ball." These aren't people who simply want to forget their problems; they want to own, explore, and artfully recreate the homophobic influences that linger outside the ballroom doors. As one queen notes, "When you're gay, you monitor everything you do. How you dress, how you talk, how you act. 'Do they see me? What do they think of me?" And in the ballroom, you're still monitoring everything you do — but it's because you have a chance at earning gay fame and immortality instead of dour consequences.
What are your favorite moments, lines, and artists in Paris is Burning? I'll personally go with the ball announcer's rhyming proclamation, "Is this realness or not? Let it be motherf*cking hot."

Townhouse by the sea
We found the townhouse to be the perfect getaway for the week. Everything was clean and tidy. The house was well decorated and had all amenities. Only minutes along a secluded path to the beautiful beach. Peacocks strolling throughout the complex only added to the allure. Close to attractions, ie, RonJon's Surf Shop, Cocoa Beach Pier, Kennedy Space Centre. Some really nice restaurants, ie, Fishlips, Italian Courtyard, Zacharys.
We will be back.
Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay at this property. Everything was there that they said would be. The decor was very nice yet not so fancy you were afraid to touch anything. The walk to the beach was easy, as was the walk to the family pool. The pool was nice and warm (we are from Upstate NY so it seemed very warm to us) People we met on our walks were all very friendly. We look forward to coming back next year.

A program known as Word Generation focuses on the teaching of academic vocabulary words to improve students' reading ability. The middle school program was shown to be particularly effective in improving reading ability among English language learners at eight Boston schools. Students are taught five abstract vocabulary words each week, and the lessons are based on real world events and core academic subjects. For example, students learning about argumentation, would learn words such as evidence, conclusion and warrant.

text: Posted June 12, 2003 Pick your lead: "The warmest part of the evening was the audience's applause." "The company premiered its latest hit, 'Light Frost'." (alternatively, 'Freezing Rain'.) "Davis Robertson, the gallant cavalier in 'L'Air d'Esprit', was handsomely costumed in an attractive gray fleece pullover." Actually, the entire company was attired in a variety of leggings, sweats, head wraps, sweaters, and rehearsal skirts. Artistic Director Gerald Arpino appeared personally to inform the audience that he had invited his dancers to wear rehearsal clothing to cope with the 50-degree (F) weather in the outdoor Pavilion at Ravinia. "I want them to dance at their peak," he said, "but I never imagined it would feel like the peak of Mt. Everest." Needless to say, this performance was not the dancers' best. The dancing was reserved, at times a little jerky and hesitant. No one cared, though. I think everyone appreciated the sacrifice the dancers were making, and no one wanted anyone to pull a muscle, fall, or otherwise injure themselves. Besides, we were all freezing too, so there was little of the "we're all in this together" spirit. After I warm up, I might post a little more about the actual program.

MuscleTech Platinum Pure CLA Powder - 200g
Delivery timeDelivery 10 working days
Characteristics MuscleTech Platinum Pure CLA Powder - 200g
- Add to Water or Your Favorite Protein Shake
- Increases Lean Muscle
- Mixes Instantly With no Aftertaste
- 1060 mg Pure CLA
Platinum Pure CLA Powder is an advanced and completely tasteless powder that mixes instantly in any shake – you can even drink it on its own. Researchers believe CLA works by down-regulating the TNF-alpha catabolic signaling molecule in muscle, thereby preventing your body from destroying lean muscle mass.
CLA has been scientifically studied and shown to support muscle growth. In one study, subjects taking 5g of CLA per day built more muscle than those using a placebo (2.8 lbs. vs 0.4 lbs.) in just 7 weeks. In the same study, resistance-trained male subjects significantly increased their bench press.
Platinum Pure CLA Powder starts by using only the highest quality filtered conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). We then use a multi-phase process that concentrates the CLA molecules. Platinum Pure CLA Powder is completely free of stimulants, making it an excellent addition to your musclebuilding stack.
Suggested usage
Mix 1 serving (1 scoop) with 4 to 6 oz.of water or your favorite sports drink or protein shake, and consume 1 to 5 times daily. Do not use for more than 12 consecutive months. Read the entire label before use and follow directions provided.

Have you ever been to a wedding and thought it was like something from a TV show such as "Revenge" or "The O.C"? On Saturday I got to; my brother got married and the wedding was amazing. It was such a surreal experience. The cars, the clothing, the guests (Tony Abbott was there), the venue; it was all like something from Revenge.
I loved it. It was absolutely beautiful and no expense was spared. Tails on the suits for the men, formal dresses for the women, top hats and white gloves etc… They even used a sword to cut the cake, as her parents had when they got married.
I made my dress for the wedding. I used an unused satin sheet from my sister, a bit of a dress I had but had never worn, some feathers from a mask we had and only had to pay $2 for a zip. All Yours Styling helped me put it together on the day and she is the one who came up with the blue bit and made the peacock piece.
Jac from All Yours Styling made her skirt too and the fabric actually came from her wedding! It was up on the walls at her reception so I thought it was really nice she turned it into a skirt for our brothers wedding.
I did my own hair and make-up.
The silver headband is made to look like leaves and was bought the day before the wedding for $5, my earrings were $4 so my full formal look only cost me $11, which is very good. Especially considering I nearly paid $400 for a dress on Friday because I was unsure the dress I made would be good enough.
To give you an idea of what the wedding was like, here are some small pictures which still do not do it all justice. It really was a TV or movie like wedding.
(1.Father of the Bride and the Bride, 2. Groomsmen, 3. Bridesmaids, 4. Ceremony venue 5. Location 6. Unity candles 7. Harpist 8. Centrepiece 9. Behind the bridal car 10. Piano 11. Peacock embellishment 12. My brother and niece 13. Cutting the cake with a sword)
Having now attended a fancy wedding, I can see why people want to spend $50,000 – $100,000 on a wedding. It was amazing. I know I could not do it myself for just one day, but I think with all my brother and his beautiful new wife have been through together (she suffered terribly from a complication at work, causing horrendous, lifelong issues and she has nearly died plus her quality and length of life have been significantly decreased) they deserved this day.
Usually I am a pretty frugal chic, as you can tell by me making my dress out of a sheet, but having seen such a glamourous wedding I can definitely see why if people have the money, they do it. And ultimately what people do with their money is their choice.
I could go on about how you could save money on your wedding, and I will probably do a post later on how other members of my family and I have cut costs with our weddings, but I think sometimes we should just be happy for people and how they have chosen to start their married life together. I figure I did my bit with my frugal dress choice, it's about the only frugal thing from the wedding, but you know what?
They did not go into debt to pay for this wedding. It was something her parents had always wanted and they paid for most of it, as per tradition. It was all within their budget and I think that is the main thing with any wedding. Do not go into debt to pay for it, stay within a budget and make it your special day. This wedding truly reflected my brother, his gorgeous wife and their families.
Have you ever been to a wedding you deem to be extravagant and amazing? What did you do for your wedding?

Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
Bose pulled its latest speaker system out of the box (a small box, we have to say) - the Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker - at a London event on Thursday and Pocket-lint was on-hand to get up close and personal with it.
The SoundLink is a Bluetooth speaker that has your smartphone or tablet in its sights. It's diddy, measuring in at 13 x 24.4 x 4.8cm and weighing 1.3kg. So it's easily small enough to fit in your suitcase or overnight bag when you're off on your travels.
First impressions were just how cool it looked. It's got the charm of a 1970s transistor radio, with an incredibly slick looking cover and stand system (Cordura nylon or leather) that makes it look like an expensive piece of luggage. Plus, the cover is metal reinforced so it adds a bit of protection to the speaker, and also packs magnets to turn the speaker on when opened, or off when closed.
And it's a tough mo-fo of a speaker as well. We were shown videos of it being tested in the labs, resisting salt-fog, sand, wind, and moisture. Oh, and a wacky looking button pressing machine. It's also got end-caps made from automotive-grade chrome, so it'll handle the odd drop or knock too.
But it's all well and good it looking good, and being durable - but it needs to sound good too. But there's no issues in that department. It sounds superb. We tested it with an array of musical genres and it handled them all fantastically.
And that's because it is packing some serious audio tech in its small little chassis. The SoundLink boasts four low-profile neodymium transducers, dual-opposing passive radiators, with a patented waffle-shaped surround, and Bose's digital signal processing algorithms.
The result is a mini speaker, with a sound that's anything but mini. We were actually blown away with just how powerful a punch it packed.
Battery life is good too. You'll only get 3 hours or so at full volume, but crank that down to around 75 per cent and you're looking at at least 8 hours. A full charge whilst listening takes around 2 hours.
Available now, the Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile speaker costs £249.99 for the Cordura nylon cover version, or £50 more if you want some leather action. You can also customise your SoundLink with an array of additional covers. Covers in nylon (bright red or royal purple) and leather (burgundy or tan) are available.

The National Teen Driver Safety Week is an awareness campaign designed to encourage teenagers to be responsible drivers. The week also addresses parents who have to take the responsibility of educating their teenage sons and daughters about safe driving. The week is centered on the "5 to drive" program.
The "5 to drive" campaign raises awareness for the top 5 most common accident causes for teenage drivers:
- No drinking and driving. The minimum drinking age in all states is 21 and teenagers caught drunk at the wheel risk losing their license or worse.
- No texting or using a cell phone while driving. This causes distracted driving and can lead to serious accidents.
- No driving with a seatbelt. More than 55% of the teenagers killed in crashes did not wear their seatbelt.
- No speeding. Statistics show that speeding kills as more than 42% of the crashes in which teenagers died were caused by speeding.
- No extra passengers. Teenagers are more likely to driver recklessly if they exceed the passengers limit allowed for a vehicle.

Port HTML5 with background audio
- Status Closed
- Budget $250 - $750 USD
- Total Bids 19
Project Description
The project currently has a HTML5 responsive website created - there are no issues with this; we have managed to port this website to PhoneGap Build and successfully compile the native app; however when the app is minimised the audio does not play in the background - this is a limitation of PhoneGap Build.
It is favourable if the project can be delivered using a multiplatform solution which could provide an Android app, however the core focus is iOS. There is no JSON webservice available which will be an issue if native app only is the only option.
The app should be created with some additional native functionality to simply showing a website - it should have a dock/menu.
The app should also function as a portal to multiple music websites with a start screen > site selection screen (contents to be loaded from remote data file) > view selected website; the app should remember which site the user last visited.
I have attached a flow diagram to clarify this.
Direct work with individual freelancers only; no agencies or outsource companies will be considered for this project; there is potential to develop a working relationship into maintaining the app code on a regular contract and merit will be based on freelancer feedback with most importantly good communication skills. Preferably you will be working solely on this project to deliver as fast as possible however it is important that work is not compromised for super fast delivery.
Communication is a MUST. As I said, I will provide you all the information and explanation of the existing mobile website and can provide you with access to the PhoneGap Build project (if required) as well as the being available on Skype to be able to hold conversations to convey, discuss and accurately scope the project. It is an expectancy, that you to respond to emails quickly and efficiently and understand tasks clearly.
Bids from users towards Europe, UK & US are favoured due to avoiding time difference, or that you can work to UK times.
If you think you are a talented individual looking to engage in repeat work and fit the profile and requirements of this project, please send me a PM with your offer and a portfolio with previous works. Write ¨Read and Understood¨ at the top of your application so I can make sure you went through all of this description; we can then discuss the project requirements further in PM if I approve of your portfolio.Get free quotes for a project like this

- - Feeding your fish (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/tropical-fish-diseases/feeding-your-fish-39362/)
Feeding your fish
Hi' when feeding your fish.Is it right that you don't feed them for one day in a week, but only feed the babies Thanks.Mark
Yes fish can go 1 day without food each week. Some people "fast" their fish one day a week. I don't see the point in fasting them but if you want to skip feeding once a week they'll be ok. (:
Funny you asked a question about feeding. I talked to someone at Kahoot's pet store and she told me that they feed all the fish in the store every other day. I've been feeding mine twice a day but I think I might go every other day as I have alot of tiny snails in my sand. I dropped down my feeding to once a day with Wednesday being the day I do not feed them. I guess feeding every other day will be good for your water quality and the snail population will go down. As for tiny baby fish I would feed twice a day til they get bigger.
Hi' Thanks for the advice.I'll start on a friday a fast day.Mark
I fast mine once a week. I've heard that it is good for their digestive tracts to fast them once a week.
Thanks alot for your help.Mark

OneCloud Networks Aims UC Offering at Small Businesses
All Inclusive Small Business Package includes unlimited long distance in the United States and Canada and comes with an app for computer, mobile device and tablet.Unified communications specialist OneCloud Networks (OCN) announced the launch of its All Inclusive Small Business Package, which includes complete voice, collaboration and mobility functionality. The package features voice, web meeting, chat/instant messaging, audio and videoconferencing and desktop sharing, in addition to traditional phone capabilities such as auto-attendant, music on hold, professional greeting, hunt group and voice mail. The offering comes complete with unlimited long distance throughout the United States and Canada and comes with an app for computer, mobile device and tablet that integrates with the desktop phone. It also features Outlook integration, Chrome dialer, and full portal management capability. "The previous generation still looks at the phone as the primary communication tool, and the rest in more of a systems category, such as web meeting, chat or instant messaging and maybe video conferencing, which is still assumed to be very expensive and not part of the daily business process," Haider Mirjat, chief solutions officer at OneCloud, told eWEEK. "For this reason, if they use the various components of a UC solution, they typically use each piece separately from different vendors. UC from one app or vendor is still making its way into these enterprises."
However, Millennials are quick to adapt to UC services, Mirjat noted. They appreciate the efficiency of having all their communication tools in one place, and love to click to video.

Target has lots of incredible Black Friday deals this year! Their sale begins at 6pm on Thursday, November 24. There is a good chance that many of these sales will go live earlier than this online at Target.com and it will even include the gift card offer. Plus as we get closer Amazon probably will match many of these prices. That is why I gave you the Amazon link for each item as well. As I checked Amazon already is matching the prices or is close on some items. So no need to fit the crowds.
I tried to match up the exact same item but sometimes it is just close. It should be helpful though. Be sure to pin or bookmark this post and come back closer to Black Friday. The Amazon reviews are great to read and see if the product is something you would like to purchase.
Also be sure to join the Everyday Savvy Holiday Facebook group where we will be sharing deals as they go live. [Read more…]

finding and climbing mount sharp in the virunga mountains
I am trying to locate a mountain 15-20 miles north of lake Kivu, which was named mount sharp by an explorer Grogan in about 1890. He wrote a book called "from Cape to Cairo" with his companion Arthur Sharp naming the mountain after him. Sharp is my great grandfather and my brother and I want to determine whether it can be safely climbed. Grogan describes six volcanoes north of Lake Kivu and this as being in a western section of two mountains, the other being higher. it as a mountain that has a crater several miles in circumference.
Can you help me by identifying the modern name of the mountain, how I can obtain a map of the area and how we could climb it if this is safe?

Night-trekked across the desert & reached Delicate Arch, Utah before dawn. Set up a shot to get the sunrise through the archway. Used up almost a whole film trying to get one shot, then turned around and saw something glinting in the shadow's archway on the ground, used my last frame on it, and by the time I'd changed film the glint had gone.
I've been back here at dawn since then, but that glint, whatever it was has never shown up again. Maybe it happens on just one day a year.

The known death toll came to 15,848 with 3,305 missing. The tsunami also inundated the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant causing a series of failures that led to the world's largest nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. The above photos show Yuriage in Natori (top); and Yagawahama (bottom) -- both are in Miyagi prefecture.

ANALYSIS: Japan, One Year Later: In the Radiation Zone
Fukushima II Power Plant
Image taken in 2004. Fukushima II Power Plant is located about 7 miles south of the Fukushima I Power Plant.
Almost 30 years ago, the world's attention was fixed on Chernobyl, the nuclear power plant in Ukraine that exploded in one of the world's worst nuclear disasters.
The world has moved on since that 1986 catastrophe, but at Chernobyl, one thing hasn't changed very much: The dead trees, plants and leaves at the contaminated site don't decay at nearly the same rate as plants elsewhere, researchers have found.
"We were stepping over all these dead trees on the ground that had been killed by the initial blast," Tim Mousseau, a professor of biology at the University of South Carolina, said in a statement. "Years later, these tree trunks were in pretty good shape. If a tree had fallen in my backyard, it would be sawdust in 10 years or so." [Images: Chernobyl, Frozen in Time]
PHOTOS: Japan Earthquake and Tsunami: Before and After
Mousseau and Anders Møller of the Université Paris-Sud have made ongoing investigations into the biology of radioactive areas like Chernobyl and Fukushima, Japan.
Much of their work has taken them into the Red Forest, the infamous wooded region surrounding Chernobyl where the trees turned an ominous reddish-brown color before dying. The pair noticed that the tree trunks seemed largely unchanged, even after a few decades.
"Apart from a few ants, the dead tree trunks were largely unscathed when we first encountered them," Mousseau, who is also co-director of the Chernobyl and Fukushima Research Initiatives at the University of South Carolina, told Smithsonian.
To find out what was happening — or, more accurately, what wasn't happening — the research team collected hundreds of samples of leaf litter from forest floors that were not contaminated by radiation and stuffed the leaves into bags lined with panty hose (to keep out insects). They then distributed these bags around the Chernobyl area and waited nine months.
The results were striking: Samples of leaf litter that were placed in highly contaminated areas showed 40 percent less decomposition than samples that were placed in uncontaminated sites. The degree of decay was proportional to the degree of radioactive contamination at each site, according to the study, published in the journal Oecologia.

Radiation is known to have harmful effects on microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. Recent research has found that radiation therapy can cause severe complications in cancer patients by reducing the populations of helpful bacteria in the intestines. [Infographic: How Radiation Affects the Human Body]
Mousseau and other researchers are concerned that the buildup of leaf litter on the forest floor presents a real danger. "There is growing concern that there could be a catastrophic fire in the coming years," Mousseau said.
In the event of a forest fire, 28 years' worth of undecayed leaves would provide an ideal fuel for the fire, which could then spread radiation throughout the region. "That would end up moving radiocesium and other contaminants via smoke into populated areas," Mousseau said.
"This litter accumulation that we measured, which is likely a direct consequence of reduced microbial decomposing activity, is like kindling," Mousseau added. "It's dry, light and burns quite readily. It adds to the fuel, as well as makes it more likely that catastrophically sized forest fires might start."

Coulthard Insights 2014
'Must try harder'. DC's end of term report card for 'The Big Four'
Posted on December 19, 2014

Coulthard on embracing fear
Posted on November 28, 2014
While risk and racing have always gone hand in hand, racing drivers are far from the adrenalin seeking mavericks they are sometimes portrayed as. From wheel to wheel racing at speeds in excess of 200mph to the intricacies of car set up, every decision is precisely calculated. The fear of getting it wrong and making a mistake is what drives them to the pursuit of perfection. In this moving film 13 time Grand Prix winner, David Coulthard talks about his personal experiences of racing on the limit.

The silence of the new era is deafening

While there was much to admire about the new regulations at the first race in Melbourne, one aspect left me cold: the rather muted sound produced by the 2014 machines. We must listen to our consumers.
Can Red Bull fight back?
Posted on March 11, 2014
After a difficult winter, the reigning champions appear to be staring down the barrel. But a week is a long time in Formula One. There is still plenty of time for Red Bull - if they work together.

|[jira] Created: (DERBY-1960) Handle null compilation schema to improve statement cache mechanism
|Sun, 15 Oct 2006 18:27:34 GMT
Handle null compilation schema to improve statement cache mechanism ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DERBY-1960 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1960 Project: Derby Issue Type: Improvement Components: SQL Affects Versions: 10.3.0.0 Environment: Any Reporter: Yip Ng A compilation schema with null value indicates that the trigger action statement text does not depend on the current schema. This means: 1. It is safe to compile this statement in any schema since there is no dependency with the CURRENT SCHEMA. i.e.: All relevent fields are qualified with a specific schema. 2. The statement cache mechanism can utilize this piece of information to enable better statement plan sharing across different schemas; thus, avoiding unnecessary statement compilation. This is a follow-up work of DERBY-630. To improve the statement cache mechanism, the system needs to handle the null compilation schema in statement preparation logic. It may require some work on the SQL parser to determine whether the compiled statement depends on the CURRENT SCHEMA or not, so that the compilation schema can be properly set. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

My Journey
by, 01-13-2012 at 10:17 AM (1680 Views)
I've been a keen audiophile for over thirty years, though, in that era, the word audiophile was not used. In many ways a much simpler world where all amplifiers sounded the same, turntables rumbled and wowed, unless you had lots of money to spend, tapes came on reels, and valve amplifiers were available in the local junk shop for a few pounds...
In my impoverished teenage years I built amplifiers, speakers and turntables from kits and from articles in the press, and had many hours of pleasure and frustration extracting more and more from my growing vinyl collection.
My working life began at a time when the hifi press realised that some things sounded better than others even when the measured parameters were similar. Subjectivism was the new rationalism. My TD160 made way for a Rega 3 (though I should have kept my obscure Audiocraft arm) and the Rega soon made way for a Linn LP12 and the Basik Arm was quickly replaced by an Ittok. I'd used Decca cartridges, but after a brief journey through Linn/AT MM carts, I discovered the moving coil, and the Naim Pre-Amp, but still kept faith with my various power amplifiers; a Leak Stereo 20, home made MOSFET monoblocks, and a lovely home built Linsley Hood class A amp.
Whilst trying to improve on my Naim 62, which lead to my building a completely new preamp, I happened to discover that the Linn Isobarik that I had always coveted had become relatively affordable on the used market, and my obsession with active Isobariks began. I used Linn amps and crossovers, and then Naim, but would have really loved a combination of the two, but a change to a much smaller house made the Isobariks difficult to live with (they sounded fine in a tiny room, but were difficult to squeeze past!) so I thought I'd try my other fantasy speaker, the Quad ESL57. This proved my suspicion that the Isobariks lacked transparency and the holographic imagery that I said I didn't need, did make music more real.
I remained faithful to vinyl for many years but eventually was forced to get into CD replay. A Meridian 200 transport looked, felt and sounded lovely, and the Arcam black box gave the CD playing experience some semblance of musicality, though never that final edge that LPs delivered. A few mods helped a bit, but an Audio Alchemy DDE helped a lot more. Then I heard the Naim CDS.
So, about six years ago, my system was Linn LP12 Lingo, ARO, Lyra Lydian, Naim CDS/CDPS, Naim 82, 2xHICAP, Naim 250, Quad ESL57 and Linn Sizmik Sub. It sounded pretty good.
A friend who likes a decent stereo, but is not a fanatic had a problem with a scratched CD, which was difficult to replace, and being a computer programmer, he decided that he should back up his CD collection to HDD just in case. He did a lot of painstaking research, and settled on EAC as a ripping system, and FLAC as his file format. I needed to get MP3s for my portable player, so I emulated his set up, and started collecting FLAC and MP3 rips of my favourite CDs.
I was using my laptop as a signal generator to track down an annoying room resonance and so, when I thought I'd fixed it, I played a familiar track, but used the FLAC file so as to avoid the cable swap. It sounded remarkably good. It lacked the substance of the CD via the CDS, but in terms of detail its was at least as good, maybe better.
I acquired a used mini Mac, with a non-apple PSU, but it worked ok, and was cheap, but it didn't sound any better than my laptop, though fitted in the rack better. I got a M-Audio USB to SPDIF interface, and got a Behringer DEQ2496 to try to fix the room/speaker interaction issues. The Behringer worked as a DAC, so I could play 24/96 high res, through my system. a Linn studio master was bought, and suddenly I had better sound quality than anything previously encountered. The CDS still had more "guts" and LPs still had more "soul" but in a slightly sanitised way the sound from the computer was more real.
I was invited to my local dealer to hear the Linn DS range. I was interested, if only to turn a multi-box system into a one box solution, but the Linn, from Klimax all the way down to Sneaky was resolving things way beyond my Mac/M-Audio/Behringer setup. The Sneaky and Majik sounded identical to me, the Akurate was only slightly better and the Klimax, a bit better yet, but way beyond my budget, so I bought the Sneaky as it would also serve as my kitchen music system. The Mac was passed on to my son, the M-Audio went into the drawer. The Behringer went into retirement, as we'd gone mad and replaced the Quads with Martin Logan Summits, solving all the room issues, and expanding the system bandwidth and transparency by an order of magnitude.
The CDS went to Hong Kong via eBay, and FLAC was now my primary digital source. The Linn DS was working well, and we finally got a Squeezebox touch, which we thought may be useful and I secretly hoped it would be as good as the Linn, so I could sell the Sneaky to provide funds for a new cartridge. One evening with the Touch/Behringer in place was enough to make my wife veto that idea, but we did discover that the Behringer DAC was better than the Linn Dac by a small but noticeable margin.
So, best sound so far... Linn DS with Behringer, next Squeezebox Touch with Behringer, then Mini Mac M-Audio Behringer bringing up the rear. All though my Naim amps.
It was all sounding good, but I felt I wasn't getting the last ounce of performance from my Summits and occasional over enthusiasm with the volume knob would cause the NAP250 to go into current limit shut down. I'd heard the Summits on the end of a NC552/NAP500 so I knew there was more to come.
I spotted an EAR890 used, at a good price, and so decided to try the valve world again. Many years ago I had heard EAR549s and was stunned by the non-valve sound and arresting clarity, hoping the 890 would be similar, I took the plunge, sold the NAP250 (for a very good price!) and was really taken aback by how much clearer the EAR890 was than the NAP250, whilst losing none of the power and slam that the 250 does so well.
Next job was improving my ageing NAC82 preamp - servicing it proved expensive, and actually made little or no difference to the sound, but whilst it was away, I was forced to use a passive pot between DAC and power amp, and when I slotted the NAC82 back in, I lost some transparency, fine details disappearing and an overall loss of realism. So, eBay it was for the NAC82 and I was in search of a DAC and better preamp. Naim DAC and NAC252 looked a viable combo, though the potential costs made my eyes water, even secondhand, but a demo at my dealer proved that the naim DAC was much, much better than the Behringer, so that went on the wish list and I started saving up.
A chance email call from a friend about computer audio led him, on my recommendation, to try a Squeezebox Touch, and he tried this through the DAC of his Mark Levinson CD player, but this wouldn't allow 24/96 play that I recommended very highly, so he looked for a new CD player with the sort of budget most of us only dream of. He finally settled on the Audiolab 8200CD, as that gave him the best CD player he could audition, and high resolution DAC all in one box. The fact he'd gone for something so "cheap" (for him) rather amazed me... "just listen" was his response.
I started lurking on PinkFish forums hoping to find a good preamp to go with the Naim DAC I was looking forward to, and started hearing things about the Audiolab stuff, particularly the MDAC, which appealed because it was small (fits on my rack I had built for NAIM PSUs) had volume control, and the design ideas seemed to be pretty sound. It was also relatively cheap, very hyped (so easy to sell on if no good) and also had balanced outputs so could drive my EAR890 via long cables, making room layout a bit easier.
The MDAC eventually hit my system late last year. In terms of sound quality improvement, it is probably one of the biggest single step changes in quality I have experienced. It is better than the Naim DAC (with a moderately good Naim preamp) by quite a large margin. It may not better a naim DAC into NAC552, but it is only £600, that difference buys a lot of music.
So, my system is now:
Linn LP12/Lingo, Naim ARO, Zu DL-103, Naim Prefix, Naim HICAP, EMU 404 ADC, Linn Sneaky DS, Audiolab MDAC, EAR890, ML Summits.
If you have read this far, I should reward you with some things I think I have learned.
I think my conclusions about digital streaming sources are flawed. My assertion that the mini Mac is relatively poor may be as much to do with the interference that the PSU made with the Naim amps, than any judgement on the Mac itself. Naim amps are very sensitive to mains quality, and I've always found that switching off my Lingo PSU improved the sound of CDs, so I suspect the PSU was affecting the overall sound.
Into the same Behringer DAC the Squeezebox Touch was notably worse than the Linn DS, whereas my friend with the Audiolab was happy, and used to some very high end kit... but I now know that the Touch has high jitter on its digital output. The MDAC copes well with jitter, so I suspect a re-match into the MDAC may give a less conclusive result.
Thirty years ago I had a system where the turnatble cost twice as much as the amp, which cost twice as much as the speakers, that was the way on those days. I now have speaker that would cost twice as much as my power amp, a preamp/dac that cost not much more than a tenth of the cost of the power amp, and could be happy with a source that costs less than the price of ten CDs...
The world has changed.
