The light of the moment
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou
Noon at Mesologgi…Athanasia closely looks at the houses. Full shot. At a corner she meets an old an. He smiles at her, but she's not looking at him or rather she doesn't see him. John What are you looking at, my dear Athanasia? Medium long shot. Athanasia How low are our houses… John I am low, too… She smiles at him. You are looking at them as if for the first time… Athanasia I'm looking at them through Fotis eyes. Close up. John Did he leave in the morning? She is nodding. What did he tell you? Medium shot. Athanasia Here the houses love the land deeper… John As humans do… Time. Athanasia Those who know the solitude of the time… John Those who know what the weight of the light means… Silence. When will he come again back to us? Athanasia I didn't have the time to ask him…Time. I was so… Extreme close up. John Let's go for a walk together. He gives her his hand…They are walking next to one another like an old couple… Do you remember that house? He shows her a house. Medium long shot. Athanasia No, whose is it? John I tend to forget as years pass. You hadn't been born, of course….Whereas… Close up. Athanasia Whereas? John I'm not sure… An idea crossed my mind…Time. I met her there… Athanasia Really…When? John Last century! Medium shot. Athanasia Smiling. Always accurate! John You know, 'when' is not any longer significant, because 'now' is always… Medium long shot. Athanasia After always? John What question is this? Athanasia I heard it yesterday… John Fotis? Athanasia He said it to somebody and it took me by surprise… John No matter where Fotis is, a whole world lives inside him. Medium close shot. Athanasia The music of silence… John I have to introduce you to a friend of his… The fisherman of Holy Virgin… Athanasia But who is he? When did he meet him? John He did not meet him yet, but he knows that he will take him to the islet… Athanasia Did he ask this from him? John No, there was no need… Athanasia But then how? John There is no 'how', when there's a need. Insert: A wooden house in the Lagoon. Full shot. Fotis I have to go back… Medium long shot. Marina Why is this so significant for you? Fotis I felt the passion of the land and sea. Marina The kiss of eternity? Fotis No, the need of immortality. Marina The islet with the Holy Virgin hurt you? Fotis No, it cannot hurt me… It touched me deeply. Marina Her style? Fotis Her voice…Time. Her image…Close up. Marina But, did you hear her? Did you see her? Fotis Yes, in the future. Marina I don't understand you… Medium long shot. Fotis There on that islet of the past there's the image of the future. Insert: The icon of Holy Virgin. Extreme close up. Athanasia Do you also think that everything may start from here? Medium long shot. John End and beginning always meet. Athanasia Are you talking about the Exit? John I'm talking about the resistance of time… Athanasia The light of the moment… |

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The Great American Oil & Gas Boom requires thousands of miles of new pipelines. That's why Greg Reid of Salient Partners thinks the next decade should be the golden years of energy infrastructure investing.
A couple days now after Rich Kinder announced his $70 billion consolidation, the MLP sector is still trying to come to grips with the deal that one oil patch watcher told me was so unexpected it amounted to "a 180-degree curve ball from left field."
One big surprise are the tax implications of the deal, by which Kinder aims to consolidate his energy infrastructure empire and eliminate his master limited partnerships. Analyst Becca Followill of U.S. Capital Advisors notes today that although Kinder's deal presentation suggests KMP holders will see a 30% uplift in value when their units are bought out, that is only on a pre-tax basis. The buyout constitutes "a dividend recapture event," which is taxed at ordinary income rates. Greg Reid, who manages $4.3 billion in MLP assets at Houston-based Salient Partners, figures that depending on how long investors have held KMP units they could be looking at a tax bill of as much as $15 per $92 unit. Says Reid, "Investors are going to be forced to pay some taxes."
The whole reason to invest in MLPs is that they are tax advantaged, with income passing through to the untiholder rather than being taxed twice as with C-corps. So will the Kinder tax hit be enough scare other tax-wary MLP investors out of the market?
Not a chance, says Reid, who thinks the Kinder deal is a one-off. After all, other recent megadeals are doubling down on the MLP vehicle rather than abandoning it. Williams Partners last month acquired all the general partner and limited partner interests in Access Midstream Partners in a $6 billion deal. And NGL Partners is seeking to acquire the rest of Partners, after having already acquired its general partner.
"They're happy with the tax advantages of passing through income to unitholders, and see no reason to change," says Reid. He figures the total market value of MLPs and their GP interests amounts to $900 billion right now. That is set to grow rapidly as massive new investments are made in the burgeoning oil and gas fields of Texas, North Dakota and Pennsylvania. The biggest risk: if oil prices fell to $80 a barrel and stayed there.
Many investors are drawn to MLPs seeking higher yields than what they can get on bonds. Reid, however, says that he focuses his strategy more on going after lower yielding MLPs that are instead investing their cash in growth projects. "Over the last 10 years it is clear that higher yielding MLPs have had lower growth rates. While lower yields have delivered higher rates of return." If a partnership is yielding 9%, he says, it's because it has a lot of risk.
Reid's Salient Midstream & MLP Fund, a closed-end fund (NYSE:SMM), boasts a 5% dividend yield. His largest investments in the fund include Enterprise Products Partners, Williams Companies, Energy Transfer Equity, Plains All-American Pipeline and Energy Management. The Salient closed-end fund trades at a 7% discount to net asset value; shares are up 25% in the past year, 40% in two years.
MLP funds are generally benchmarked against the Alerian MLP Index (up 18% in a year), but in his funds Reid has been beating the index as well as bigger MLP funds like Kayne Anderson (NYSE:KYN). He's done it in part by focusing his investments in the general partnerships, or GPs, which control the MLPs and enjoy the lion's share of cash distributions.
GP interests often get overlooked by MLP investors because they tend to have lower yields. But they also have lower risk, and have tended to grow in share value faster than their underlying MLPs. One of Reid's biggest GP investments is Plains GP Holdings, which owns the GP of Plains All American Pipeline. Over the past year, units of Plains GP are up 38%, while Plains All American is up 17.5%. Same thing with another holding, Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE:TRGP), which owns the GP of MLP Targa Resources Partners (NYSE:NLGS). TRGP shares are up 420% over 5 years, more than double NLGS.
The cash streams commanded by the GP interest holders are so juicy that we've seen big MLPs like Enterprise Products Partners, Magellan Midstream and MarkWest Energy Partners buy out their general partner interests as a way to keep up distribution growth.
Reid figures the value of the companies holding GP interests amounts to about $350 billion, or 40% of the $900 billion market cap of the energy infrastructure sector. And yet the Alerian MLP Index has zero exposure to them, while the S&P MLP Index has just 8%. Reid's energy infrastructure funds have about 22% devoted to C-corps that hold GP interests.
(Note: A reader asked whether holding MLPs within the structure of an exchange-traded closed-end fund negates their tax advantages. Reid explains that because the Salient Midstream & MLP Fund is a Registered Investment Company, it is not taxed as a corporation, but rather is a pass-through trust. In order to qualify as an RIC the fund has to own less than 25% in MLPs, which it does.)
You could try picking your own energy infrastructure investments. The tax incentives are great, but the complicated K-1 tax forms you get from every MLP are a real disincentive if you're just a small investor. For many people it makes more sense to buy a mutual fund, or closed-end fund -- and let Reid's people deal with the paperwork.

Calliope (Cal) Stephanides
Calliope (Cal) Stephanides is the narrator and protagonist of Middlesex. He tells his life story from the age of forty-one as an attractive but slight man prone to double-breasted suits and cigars. Born a hermaphrodite (he has 5-alpha reductase syndrome, which makes him appear female though he is genetically male), Cal spent his first fourteen years living comfortably as a girl, Calliope, only mildly concerned about his attraction to other girls. But upon discovering that genetically he is male, he throws his life into an uproar and transitions into living as a man. Even after twenty-five years, Cal is not entirely comfortable in his own skin, embarrassed by his body and what others will think of it – a physical shame that seems inherited from his mother and grandmother. His self-doubt may come from being raised as a girl during those formative years; Cal lacks his father...

Hi everyone, I'm part of a team of engineering students who are looking to design a system that can check for fence breakages and send a message to your phone instantly, while using zero power until a breakage occurs. I would be interested to know if many people consider fence monitoring a problem, the price you would value a monitoring system at or if you have any problems that you think are more pressing. Thanks

Since I've already been getting negative feedback for my endorsement (tepid as it was) of Alex Pandian, I figured I may as well devote an entire post to the film. Let me set the scene. It's a Sunday afternoon, grey and foggy. And I can feel a grey, foggy attack of ennui brewing on the horizon. I have so much to do but I don't feel like doing any of it and the world threatens to collapse to a single point on the couch. I really need to get out of my head for a few hours. Enter Alex Pandian, as charming as a spring breeze.
Alex Pandian is the story of, yes, Alex Pandian (Karthi). The film opens with him protecting a lovely lady dressed in white (Anushka) from a gang of rowdies who are chasing her. (Quite chillingly in the wake of the events of December 16th, I might add.) The pair end up escaping from the rowdies but we're left unsure of their fate. Enter the always-welcome Santhanam as the dopey brother to three gorgeous sisters, whom he is obsessed with protecting from male attention - much to their chagrin. One day Santhanam returns home to find that a long lost relative has appeared on the doorstep. Yes, Alex Pandian. The rest of the first half is devoted to family comedy, double entrendres, and Santhanam getting various objects accidentally lodged up his ass.
In the second half, we find out what happened to the lovely lady in white and why the rowdies were chasing them. There is a nice, tidy anti-big business plot (and a nice, tidy big business bad guy in the form of living Ken Doll Milind Soman); more comedy from Vaiyapuri; a handful of gratuitous but sooooper fun songs; Anushka running around; and some fight scenes. What I'm saying is nobody is sending this to the Oscars anytime soon. (Though I would rather watch Alex Pandian a thousand times before being forced to sit through Barfi.)
This is not a good film but Alex Pandian was a nice timepass on that Sunday afternoon. I went into the theater with dark clouds threatening and left humming Bad Boy and feeling my mood lifted, just a little.
Yes, Karthi was my Prozac.
Alex Pandian offered nothing new - the gender roles were as stale as yesterday's idlis and the plot was straight out of a masala 101 text book - but sometimes the viewer doesn't want to be challenged. Sometimes all the viewer wants is to have her pants charmed off by one of Karthi's smiles, feel indignant at the Corporate Fat Cats taking advantage of us common folk, admire the plump talent on display, and laugh inappropriately loud at jokes about ugly men wearing wigs and Santhanam getting things shoved up his ass. Film doesn't have to be complicated and original and smart. Sometimes, it's enough that a film is cheerful and colorful on a dreary January day.
I was listening today to a BBC 4 podcast talking about the Oscar nominations and I was reminded of a time before I had figured out that I liked (and could watch) massy Indian movies. I do have some interest in Djano Unchained and The Master but just about every other film mentioned sounded dire - ranging from Dull Yet Self-Important to White Guy Problems to Just Plain Offensive. Yet, there was a time when I really tried to force myself to like these kinds of things against all natural sense because that is what I thought good taste was. I felt guilty for going to see films that made me happy, like if the tastemakers found out I saw Spiceworld in the theater and enjoyed myself then my opinions would never be taken seriously again ever by anybody.
"Um... you realize that Lincoln shows a highly simplified and very white-washed account of Congress in the mid-19th century, right?"
"Didn't you see Alex Pandian in theaters?"
"Yeah. And I've also done extensive reading about the politics of the mid-19th century. Lincoln is as artificial and show-businessy as Alex Pandian but far worse, in my opinion, for pretending to be otherwise. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to finish writing this essay in praise of my historical boyfriend Hanibal Hamlin and then catch that screening of Race 2."

The Atlantic Bronze Age is marked by economic and cultural exchange that led to the high degree of cultural similarity exhibited by the coastal communities from Central Portugal to Galicia, Armorica and Scotland, including the frequent use of stones as chevaux-de-frise, the establishment of cliff castles, or the domestic architecture sometimes characterized by the round houses.[1] Commercial contacts extended from Sweden[2] and Denmark to the Mediterranean.[1] The period was defined by a number of distinct regional centres of metal production, unified by a regular maritime exchange of some of their products. The major centres were southern England and Ireland, north-western France, and western Iberia.[3]
The items related to this culture are frequently found forming hoards, or they are deposited in ritual areas,[4][5] usually watery contexts: rivers, lakes and bogs. Among the more noted items belonging to this cultural complex we can count the socketed and double ring bronze axes, sometimes buried forming large hoards in Brittany and Galicia; war gear, as lunate spearheads, V-notched shields, and a variety of bronze swords —among them carp's-tongue ones— usually found deposited in lakes, rivers or rocky outcrops;[6] and the elites feasting gear: articulated roasting spits, cauldrons, and flesh hooks,[5][7] found from central Portugal to Scotland.[1]
The origins of the Celts were attributed to this period in 2008 by John T. Koch[8] and supported by Barry Cunliffe,[9] who argued for the past development of Celtic as an Atlantic lingua franca, later spreading into mainland Europe.[5] They argue that communities adopted early Late Bronze Age Urnfield (Bronze D and Hallstatt A) elite status markers such as grip-tongue swords and sheet-bronze metalwork, along with new specialist know-how needed for their production and ritual knowledge about their 'proper' treatment upon deposition.[10] which they see as indicating possible processes linked to language shift.[10] In 2013, Koch saw this east to west elite contact as the simplest explanation for the genesis of Celtic languages with a Proto-Celtic homeland in west-central Europe.[11] However, this stands in contrast to what remains the more generally accepted view that Celtic origins lie with the Central European Hallstatt C culture.

Vietnamese website Tinhte.vn posted the video, showing what is allegedly a totally redesigned pair of Apple in-ear headphones. The site also notes that the product will likely be introduced either alongside the sixth-generation iPhone. The site claims that the new headphones are manufactured in Vietnam in a Foxconn plant as cable labeling reads "Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in Vietnam." The in-ear unit is somewhat a departure from current earphone models from Apple, featuring a truncated teardrop shape that is supposedly more comfortable than the gratis set supplied with the iPhone.

PASADENA — Maranatha High School wasted an opportunity to win the Olympic League girls soccer title last season. The Minutemen made sure Tuesday it wouldn't happen again.
Alexis Phillips scored in the 52nd minute and Maranatha secured the league championship with a 1-0 victory over visiting Whittier Christian.
The Minutemen, ranked No. 3 in CIF-Southern Section Division 6, held a 20-5 advantage in shots to improve to 16-5-2 overall and 6-0-1 in the Olympic League. They close the regular season with a home game vs. Heritage Christian on Thursday.
Shiloh Moore stopped eight shots for Whittier Christian, which slipped to 10-9-2 and 4-2-1 in league play. The Heralds host Valley Christian on Thursday.
Maranatha's Alexis Phillips: "The big thing for us was that we wanted to secure league. We didn't last year and we had it taken away from us. Our coach wanted us to possess and switch and in the second half and we did it."
Whittier Christian's Shiloh Moore: "(Maranatha) had speed on us. I thought we played well together as a team. I'm really proud of my team. We've come a long way from last year."

WHITTIER — La Serna High School may have finished second in the Del Rio League and wasn't considered one of the favorites for the CIF-SS Southeast Division football championship, but the Lancers, who won it last season, believe the title is theirs until someone takes it away from them.
They continued to live by that motto on Friday.
Enrique Pacheco threw for 112 yards and two scores, including the game-winner in the fourth quarter, and La Serna advanced to the division semifinals for the fifth consecutive season with a 38-35 victory over top seed St. Francis at California High School.

Los Altos (7-5) dominated the game on the ground, behind a great night in the young career of sophomore running back Tyler Nevens, who rushed for 290 yards and five touchdowns.
"Tyler (Nevens) has had the greatest sophomore season this school has ever seen," said Los Altos head coach Dale Ziola. "With the likes of Jimmy Jastrab, Sean Forge, Binky Benton, all of those guys."
— Richard Hernandez

After a scoreless first quarter, Pasadena Poly (12-0) got on the scoreboard just before the end of the first half.
— Guillermo Tovar
REDLANDS — Bradley Mowbray usually does a lot of his damage for Arrowhead Christian Academy on offense.
On Friday night, he added defense to the equation.
The senior quarter back threw for one touchdown, ran for one more and had three interceptions in the end zone to squash Maranatha drives as the Eagles advanced the CIF-Southern Section Northwest Division semifinals with a 43-28 victory over the Minutemen at Citrus Valley High School.
— Bill Norris, Daily Bulletin

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE >> It has been a successful year of firsts for the St. Francis football program, which opened the postseason hosting Mayfair at Friedman Field in its first playoff contest in the CIF-SS Southeast Division after moving up from the Western Division last year.
On Friday night, top-seeded St. Francis took care of business against the Monsoons with a 49-14 victory behind five touchdowns from Areg Nazarian.

The Golden Knights (11-0) were led by running back Nazarian. The junior returned the opening kickoff 89 yards up the middle for the Golden Knights' first score.

A wild fourth quarter resulted in zero points for either team. The Colts (6-5) stopped the Panthers (7-4) and got the ball at their own 15-yard line with 1:57 left in the game. Two big plays by Colts' quarterback Joe Benavidez, including a 43-yard bomb to Greg Hennes with 59 seconds left, got his team to the Panthers' 20 with 39 seconds left.

Heart Attack Tied to DMAA
Heart Attack Tied to DMAA
Cardiac Arrest in a 21-Year-Old Man After Ingestion of 1,3-DMAA-Containing Workout Supplement.
Clin J Sport Med. 2014 May 29;
Authors: Karnatovskaia LV, Leoni JC, Freeman ML
: Dietary supplements containing 1,3-dimethylamylamine (DMAA) have been determined to be illegal by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); although banned, the products are still widely available for purchase. Adverse effects reported include cardiac arrest, hemorrhagic stroke, and death. Nonetheless, such products remain popular among young people because of advertised claims of exercise performance enhancement and fat burning. We describe a case of a young man who took such a supplement and suffered a cardiac arrest. Notably, the product consumed was not on the FDA list of substances containing DMAA. This case highlights the importance for clinicians to be aware of the potential harm of the DMAA-containing products by maintaining a high index of suspicion in otherwise healthy individuals presenting with cardiac arrest. It is of particular importance to sports medicine physicians who are most involved in education and counseling of patients potentially at risk of taking such products.
PMID: 24878759 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] - 06-01-2014, 08:14 PM
Any other medical history or information on the young man? Or what dose(s) he was taking?

Works really well.
This thing works really well Ince you have filled the loop. Filling the loop is pretty difficult with it being Pwm. But once all the power wires are connected and you are ready to use it runs really well.

HAZARD — A man from the Perry County community of Busy is facing an assault charge after Kentucky State Police (KSP) say he struck a woman across the face with a metal lamp post.
According to the arrest warrant, KSP Trooper John Couch states that on Oct. 30, Patrick D. Combs, 19, of Busy allegedly assaulted Aliyeh Eldridge with a metal lamp post. The arrest warrant says that Eldridge was cut down the right side of her face. The cut ran from her forehead to her cheek, the arrest warrant says.
The arrest warrant says that Eldridge's skull was showing and she was transported to UK Medical Center. She was released the next day.
On Dec. 1, Deputies Charlie Gayheart and Kevin Day with Perry County Sheriff's Department attempted to serve the arrest warrant on Combs. According to an uniform citation made by Deputy Gayheart, as both him and Deputy Day approached the trailer that Combs was staying in, Combs allegedy jumped out of the back window of the trailer, and ran into the woods.
He was arrested shortly after, and transported to Kentucky River Regional Jail (KRRJ) where he was lodged in.
Combs is facing one count of first-degree assault, and one count of second-degree fleeing or evading police on foot.
TJ Caudill can be reached at 606-436-5771 or on Twitter @HazardHerald.

Deus Ex
The year is 2052 and the world is a dangerous and chaotic place. Terrorists operate openly - killing thousands; drugs, disease and pollution kill even more. The world's economies are close to collapse and the gap between the insanely wealthy and the desperately poor grows ever wider. Worst of all, an ages old conspiracy bent on world domination has decided that the time is right to emerge from the shadows and take control. No one believes they exist. No one but you.

Orion Burger
Published by Developed by Released Platforms |
Not an American user?
The intergalactic fast-food chain Orion Burger uses the services of an alien meat-supplier named Zlarg, who only cares for money and doesn't have much in a way of conscience. So his next genius plan is to use the inhabitants of the planet Earth, known as "humans", as a raw, protein-rich material for the tasty burgers. However, interstellar law forbids using sentient creatures as meat. Every raw ingredient has to pass specific tests for sentience. Zlarg knows it, and he rigs the tests in such a way that no creature can pass it. Enter Wilbur Wafflemeier, an ordinary guy who is about to be grilled... in more than one way. Somehow, the unlikely hero has to find a way to pass the tests...Orion Burger is a traditional puzzle-solving adventure with cartoon-like 2D graphics. It uses verb commands "Take", "Use", and "Talk" for interaction with the environment. The game consists of five tests, each of them requiring Wilbur to explore his home town, talk to people, gather inventory items, and solve tricky puzzles in order to succeed and qualify as a sentient being.

This is the last game made by Sanctuary Woods (who also made The Riddle of Master Lu), after the release of Orion Burger they started to design games for children.The interface of this game is quite the same as the one Riddle of Master Lu used, only difference is that the icons are now more cartoonish, but their place on the screen in still the same.

What made our stay at Ramses Hilton tick was the absolute hospitality of its staff who really went out of their way to make our stay very comfortable. We were glad to have pre-booked our airport pick-up from the hotel since it made out immigration and transfer from the airport to the hotel very very comfortable which was important considering we had flown from Hong Kong (16 hour journey). The person who received us at the airport was extremely courteous, got the immigration cleared in 2 minutes and then transferred our luggage to the waiting Mercedes. All this costed us less than $40! The rooms at the Executive floor are decent (look dated) but the bed was very comfortable with a great view of the Pyramids and the Nile River and the wifi was good. The evening reception at the executive lounge had great selection of snacks. Since my wife is a vegetarian and there was not much to choose from, the lounge manager went out of the way and got her veg spring rolls and french fries, both complimentary! We were completely blown away. The breakfast selection was decent and the staff was very courteous and attentive. The hotel has an Indian restaurant which was a big positive for us. The food there was decent and reasonably priced. We made our tour arrangements from the hotel itself which worked out pretty well.
Swimming Pool/Spa was nothing to write about but we did not really miss it since being in Cairo, our objective was to cover the Great Pyramids, the Museum and generally roam around the city rather than spend time inside the hotel. All in All a great stay thanks to the wonderful staff at the Ramses Hilton. Great Job!!

Every time I try to download an app it says I need to answer security questions and asks for my apple id password. I enter it and a window pops up and it asks again, and again, and again. I know my password is correct and when I go to apple it only has one security question not 3. What the hell is going on? Also I have nothing waiting to download or update.
Hi and welcome to the Forum! When an app behaves strangely it is best to close it completely and then relaunch it. From the home screen do the four finger swipe up or double press the home button to reveal your multi task bar. These are all the apps that you have opened at one time. Long press the app until it jiggles and a red minus sign will appear above it. Press the minus sign, this will close the app, not delete it, now press the home button to return to your screen. It's also a good idea to close all these apps, as it helps the iPad run smoothly, let us know how you go. Restart - Press and hold the power off button, the one at the top right. You will see a slide appear to power off, slide this and the screen will go dark and a Whirly will appear. When the Whirly disappears your iPad is now off. Press the power button again until the Apple logo appears, this will take a few seconds and your iPad will restart. You should restart your iPad occasionally also as it will keep it running well. Now see if it is operating. Reset - Hold the power off button and the home button simultaneously, keep holding them in and you will see the power off slide appear and disappear, wait until you see the Apple logo appear before releasing the buttons. It will take a little longer for your iPad to start. The IPad Forum is a community of members from all walks of life and from all over the world coming together to share our experiences and to help each other learn about this wonderful piece of technology the Ipad. There is a wealth of information already here in the many threads we have so doing some searches will answer most of the questions you have. If then you cannot find the answer you are seeking then by all means post your question. There are many friendly and informed members here only too willing to help you. We also have our own App - It is a very simple app to navigate. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/discussion-forum-for-ipad/id412896524?mt=8 Reading the IPad manual is a great place to start so please download a copy of these. http://www.support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/ 3 very informative threads from which you will learn many tips and shortcuts for the IPad. http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-general-discussions/21590-tips-tricks-those-us-who-dont-know.html http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-os/49581-ios5-tips-tricks.html http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-help...shortcuts-helpful-places-people-new-ipad.html We have rules like any Community so please read these also http://www.ipadforums.net/forum-rul...um-rules-everybody-please-read.html#post14697 Once again we welcome you here and are so pleased you have joined us! iPad 2 3G 64gb
Try signing out of the App Store (there's an account button in the lower left side of most of the store pages). Then, check in your Settings app to make sure that you are signed out. Then, try the restart or reset as leelai described above and then sign back into the App Store. Other than that, I've got nothing else. Except, if it still won't work, may I suggest a visit to the Geniuses at the Apple Store. It's a free visit and maybe they can help. Sorry for your troubled and good luck. Marilyn

Ermera, Timor-Leste. "I had to leave my work and walk for an hour to receive the TT vaccination during the health ministry's campaigns. But I know it has protected my children from tetanus. I am happy I took the vaccine," said Joana as she tried hard to remember the dates of vaccination.
"Unfortunately, I have misplaced the LISIO (Immunisation card)," Joana continued.

It will come back - Hozier
It will come back - Hozier
I was just scrolling down my last dozen posts and I realised I didn't post quite as much Hozier as I thought I did and as I wanted to! His eponymous debut album is for sure the one I've been listening to lately that I love the most, it's been my favourite listen since the last weeks of last year and I'm still enjoying it a lot, so it's definitely time to share with you one more song, especially as I've been listening to my playlist with some songs of his first and then to the whole album while I was getting my baggage ready and cleaning my room! Yes, I'm about to leave again soon...! I'll let you know more in the next few days, tomorrow I'll move back to Milan for starters. But let's not rush time and enjoy Hozier for now!
PS: I am amazed by how awesome and similar to the recorded version these live sessions are, just.... wow!

West Nile virus increasing threat as summer goes on
Tuesday, July 10, 2012
Mosquitoes haven't seemed to be that much of a problem yet this year, but we're not sure whether it's because there are fewer of them, thanks to the dry conditions, or because most of us spend as much time as possible indoors when it's 100 degrees outside.
But we imagine the "skeeters" are hard at work reproducing as quickly as they can now that we've had rain, and soon will make themselves felt.
They're already doing so elsewhere in the state. The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services reports that mosquitoes in Adams and Sheridan counties have tested positive for the West Nile virus, as have birds in Madison and Phelps counties.
Many of us have been exposed to West Nile virus, but most of us have no symptoms or only mild flu-like symptoms.
One in 150 people infected, however, becomes seriously ill, and people over 50, and those with weakened immune symptoms are more likely to have more serious consequences. Those include West Nile encephalitis or inflammation of the brain, disorientation, convulsions and paralysis.
The state tests mosquitoes and birds to determine the level of the virus in the state. To report a dead bird, contact the Red Willow County Health Department, (308) 345-1790 or Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department, (308) 345-4223.
"The virus will show up in more parts of the state as summer progresses, so it's important for people to avoid mosquito bites," said Dr. Joann Schaefer, the state's Chief Medical Office and Director of Public Health.
She offers the following recommendations:
* Use mosquito repellent containing DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535.
* Dress in long-sleeved shirts, pants and socks when you're outside.
* Dusk and dawn are times when mosquitoes are most active. Limit outdoor activities.
* Drain standing water around your home. Standing water and warmth breeds mosquitoes.
