Windows 8: Getting Started | :Live Class
Office Leverage
Multiple Dates
Event Details
Are you getting a new PC with Windows 8 for yourself or someone else?
My mother is buying a new PC for herself this month. The first thought that came to mind is that she is going to need a checklist just to find her files, access Word and Excel, and most importantly how to turn off the computer. After she is comfortable with those features, she will need training on the powerful features of Windows 8 – most of which she probably will not use.
Don't get frustrated….use a Windows 8 tour guide instead.
I started Office Leverage to teach Microsoft Office applications. Due to the complexity of Windows 8 and the need for business professionals to get-up-to-speed quickly, I assembled a team of skilled trainers to teach online and live Windows 8 classes.
Register for a Windows 8 Getting Started class.
Starting in December, we will begin offering live and online sessions that are designed for busy professionals who cannot afford to waste time with a down-computer or need to access their email on their new computer.
Attend a live class in Torrance, California. Learn how to navigate Windows 8 and personalize your new computer. Each class is limited to 8 people to ensure you receive one-on-one guidance. You do not need to bring a computer to this class, but it is recommended.
Live Classes:
Monday, December 10, 2012 | 8:30 am – 11:30 am OR 1:00 – 4:00 pm
Wednesday, December 12, 2012 | 8:30 am – 11:30 am OR 1:00 – 4:00 pm
Registration Fee: $99 (includes reference materials)
Coworking Plus | 2293 190th Street, Torrance, CA 90504

Loewe is known for making high-end kit that isn't exactly concerned with budget. Expensive tellies, pricey speakers – chances are you won't be plumping for Loewe unless you've got some serious cash to spend. A thrifty Loewe fan is about as rare as an invite to a pimps 'n' ice cream party.
Not so with the Speaker 2go Bluetooth speaker. At S$599 it really is the cheapest way to buy a piece of premium portable sound.
Solid as a rock
You only need to pick up the Speaker 2go to know it's from good stock. Its aluminium build makes it feel solid and reassuringly weighty, but not so much that it's a bother for any but the weediest of arms to carry around. It's a minimalist design, but a striking one - all clean lines and a nicely machined grille, with just a smattering of buttons and an NFC tag along the top for easy pairing.
Ports around the back include an aux-in for hardwiring devices and a USB input, though this is for charging your phone or tablet rather than playing music from it. It's still a useful feature to include on a portable speaker, although it obviously has an impact on the otherwise eight-hour battery life.
Feeling Blue…tooth
Loewe has done away with the AirPlay found in its pricier AirSpeaker and opted purely for Bluetooth instead – a clever choice since the Speaker 2go is more likely to be used away from home, when Wi-Fi might be hard to come by.
The Bluetooth onboard is of the aptX variety, so compatible phones, tablets and computers are able to wirelessly send tunes to it in close to CD quality, and you can connect up to five devices at once. We found it to be stable in playback, easy to connect and the NFC pairing is a nice touch for those with devices that play nice with it.
Look, no hands
It's not all about music, though; the Speaker 2go also doubles up as a speakerphone so you're able to take hands-free calls. It offers echo-cancellation for improved clarity, and a voice-optimised microphone that sits along the top.
From our experience, it'll do for the odd call that interrupts your music, but we wouldn't go out of our way to use it – it sounds a little on the muffled side on anything less than a perfect line, and unless you're close to the speaker, your mum won't be able to hear what you're saying no matter how loudly you bawl at her. Still, it's no deal-breaker.
The power of Loewe
Play some music and you get quite a performance out of this little box. There's 40W of power to be had from two full-range drivers and a sub, and it's not shy about showing it off - you can crank it up pretty loud without risking distortion.
Bass is rich and articulate, and goes impressively deep considering the wee size of the device - it never sounds boomy or out of control, either. In fact, it's a really well balanced listen – something of a rarity in this field – and the deep bass slots in nicely with a clear, energetic mid-range and detailed treble.
That said, the Speaker's 2go's sound gets close to Bluetooth speaker perfection but falls just short. It does lack the spaciousness and articulation of the very best of its rivals meaning more complicated tracks lack a touch of clarity, and are at risk of sounding a little dynamically squashed and disorganised – especially at louder volumes.
The Speaker 2go has a hidden trick up its sleeve to help it project its sound further. To see it, press the top of the speaker downwards and you'll reveal an integrated pop-up rubber stand that appears from the bottom.
This tilts the device up by exactly 7.5°, which Loewe says helps to disperse the music around larger rooms. It doesn't look much, but it does actually make a difference, and helps your music sound more direct.
Loewe has done a grand job of pouring all the premium quality and attention to detail of its larger, pricier products into the Speaker 2go. It looks the part, feels well made and is quite the looker to pull out of your bag on your next camping trip, festival or BBQ.
It manages to dodge any tubbiness in the bass and steers clear of brightness in the treble to make for a well-judged, well-rounded listen – not something wireless speakers are often that good at.
Its speakerphone feature may well be best avoided, and it doesn't quite have the same dynamic punch, clarity and subtlety of rivals such as the Philips Fidelio P9 or Ultimate Ears Boom, but it's a thoroughly likeable, listenable sound, and at S$599 that makes it a pretty tasty buy.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Technology editor Ben Potter brings you the latest in technology news, and how you can apply it to farming.
One of the most enjoyable— and occasionally frustrating— things about writing for Farm Journal and AgWeb is coming up with a snappy headline and a strong lead paragraph. That's what sets the stage for the entire story and is the No. 1 factor in determining if you do (or don't) read it.
One of my October assignments for Farm Journal is exploring if and how climate change is affecting the way we farm. I'm not above starting a story with a quote, or an anecdote, or even a cliché. But weather clichés are just the worst and I'm doing my best to avoid using the ones we've all heard a thousand times before. For example, if you search for "If you don't like the weather (just wait a few minutes)," Google delivers more than a BILLION results.
With that in mind, here is a list of weather related clichés I'm intent on NOT using for my climate story:
• It's so hot outside, you could fry an egg on the sidewalk.
• The calm before the storm.
• When it rains, it pours.
• Come rain or shine.
• Ride out the storm.
• It's not the heat, it's the humidity.
• If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
• Turn up the heat.
• Hotter than a two-dollar pistol.
From here on out, I'm putting weather clichés behind me. In fact, it will be a cold day in … oh, nevermind.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
MONROE — It was a year ago this morning when her body was discovered.
Jacqueline Rothenbuhler, 59, was found around 3:30 a.m. in the back yard along W. Maple Street in Monroe.
Her throat had been cut.
Dozens of pills of varying colors were strewn on the ground near her left hand.
There were too many to hold in two hands, but no pill container was found at the crime scene.
Police now wonder if the pills were a killer's attempt at misdirection, a red herring aimed at making detectives believe the fatal attack was a drug deal gone awry.
A year later, investigators continue to pursue Rothenbuhler's killer.
They have interviewed nearly 100 people. Roughly half of those interviews were tape recorded.
They have sent forensic evidence to the Washington State Crime Lab. More recently, they have forwarded some of the same evidence to another crime lab in Texas for a closer examination. They eagerly await the results.
Detective Barry Hatch said the investigation has turned up several people police are looking at, but he's not ready to call anyone a suspect. All have been cooperative when asked for DNA samples, vehicle searches and polygraph tests.
"We believe more than one person knows who killed her," Hatch said. "We strongly believe that other people know who did this and we really want to urge them to come forward."
The veteran detective wants to find answers for Rothenbuhler's three grown children as well as the neighborhood where she once lived.
"She raised those kids well. Her two daughters and her son are really good people and loved her a lot and they need to know who killed their mom," Hatch said. "There are a lot of people who really want answers."
Rothenbuhler once was a fitness instructor at a local gym, but had struggled with drug addiction in recent years. She was accepted into a drug treatment diversion program after she was arrested for investigation of burglary in 2009.
"She was a decent citizen in the community for a long time," Hatch said. "When her lifestyle shifted, her friends did, too."
Her daughters have many fond memories of their mother's vibrance.
Rothenbuhler not only taught fitness and aerobics classes when they were younger, she also climbed Mount Rainier and Mount Baker. She once worked for a river-rafting company and as a bungee-jumping assistant. Every weekend, it seemed, the family would hike together. Wallace Falls State Park was a frequent destination and nature was a constant companion.
It seemed to her family that Rothenbuhler's descent into the drug world accelerated about a year before her death. They had their suspicions, but no real evidence. Their mom tried to hide it from them and the rest of her family.
Her children's pain has not eased over the past year. Her daughters said the hardest part for them was telling Rothenbuhler's mother and grandchildren about her death.
In the last four years of her life, Rothenbuhler didn't have a job or much money. Yet she always had a little something for her grandchildren, whether a set of keys or a pair of old earrings.
Despite her 2009 brush with the law, Hatch described Rothenbuhler as someone who tried to make sure people living in and around her home followed the rules.
That resolve could have played a role in her death, Hatch said.
"She policed her neighborhood better than anybody," the detective said.
Rothenbuhler cooked corned beef and cabbage for a St. Patrick's Day dinner shortly before she died. Detectives believe she had a telephone conversation around 8:30 that night. Others living in the home returned to the house and thought she had gone out, according to a search warrant.
It was a visitor letting a dog out in the back yard who discovered her body around 3:30 a.m.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Monroe Police Department at 360-794-6300. Anonymous information may be left on the department's tip line at 360-863-4600.

Reading Level: Grades 7+
When school closes early because of a snowstorm, Scotty's first reaction is anger, that his basketball game is canceled. His anger soon abates when his best friends Jason and Pete smooth-talk their way into the shop to work on a go-kart until rides arrive. Soon the only people left in the school are Scotty, Jason, Pete, two freshman girls, a weird kid named Elijah, a thug named Les, and the teacher responsible for waiting until everyone's ride came. The snow keeps falling, unrelenting, and it dawns on the group that no one is coming. When the lights of a snowplow appear faintly in the distance, Mr Gossell, history teacher / assistant football coach, plunges out into the storm looking for help.
He never makes it back.
Soon, the power is out and the seven students realize they're going to be stuck at school for a while; but no one knows they're there.
Trapped is a literally chilling survival story of friendship in dire straits.

Cree has introduced a multichip MC-E LED with red, green, blue and white chips in a single package. It is also pairing new LED chip innovations with its XLamp XP-E package to deliver a high performance family of discrete, high-power color LEDs, Cree said.
The XLamp MC-E color is a package design, combining white, red, green and blue LED chips in a single component. This compact component provides design flexibility for color-changing LED applications that require high flux from a small lighting source, such as entertainment and architectural lighting.
the XLamp XP-E color LEDs provide up to 22% more flux than the existing XLamp XR color portfolio, with an 80%smaller footprint, Cree said. The XP color portfolio is available in flux bins, at 350 mA.
Compared to the current XLamp XR color LEDs, space between the LED die can be reduced by 75% with the new XLamp XP-E color LEDs and 94% with the new XLamp MC-E color LED, according to Cree. This reduction in spacing can allow better color mixing and shadow reduction for color-based applications, including decorative, architectural and entertainment lighting.
Cree is sampling the MC-E and XP-E color LEDs, with production quantities targeted for the third quarter of 2009.

Benefits of LA (Linoleic) Omega 6 Fatty Acid
Note: This paper is pertinent to the Dr. Maggie Supplement for Skin and Coat which contains therapeutic amounts of LA Omega 6 derived from soy oil.
June 17, 2011
Omega-6 fatty acids
Omega-6 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids: They are necessary for human health but the body can't make them — you have to get them through food. Along with omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function, as well as normal growth and development. Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), they help stimulate skin and hair growth, maintain bone health, regulate metabolism, and maintain the reproductive system.
A healthy diet contains a balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation, and some omega-6 fatty acids tend to promote inflammation. In fact, some studies suggest that elevated intakes of omega-6 fatty acids may play a role in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. The typical American diet tends to contain 14 – 25 times more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty acids.
The Mediterranean diet, on the other hand, has a healthier balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Many studies have shown that people who follow this diet are less likely to develop heart disease. The Mediterranean diet does not include much meat (which is high in omega-6 fatty acids, though grass fed beef has a more favorable omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio) and emphasizes foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, including whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, olive oil, garlic, as well as moderate wine consumption.
There are several different types of omega-6 fatty acids, and not all promote inflammation. Most omega-6 fatty acids in the diet come from vegetable oils, such as linoleic acid (LA). Be careful not to confuse this with alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. Linoleic acid is converted to gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) in the body. It is then further broken down to arachidonic acid (AA). GLA is found in several plant based oils, including evening primrose oil (EPO), borage oil, and black currant seed oil.
GLA may actually reduce inflammation. Much of the GLA taken as a supplement is converted to a substance called DGLA that fights inflammation.
AH Comment: LA is the Omega 6 in Soy Oil.
Having enough of certain nutrients in the body (including magnesium, zinc, and vitamins C, B3, and B6) helps promote the conversion of GLA to DGLA. Uses: Omega-6 fatty acids may be useful for the following health conditions:
Diabetic neuropathy
Some studies show that taking gamma linolenic acid (GLA) for 6 months or more may reduce symptoms of nerve pain in people with diabetic neuropathy. People who have good blood sugar control may find GLA more effective than those with poor blood sugar control.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Studies are mixed as to whether evening primrose oil helps reduce symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Some preliminary evidence suggests evening primrose oil may reduce pain, swelling, and morning stiffness; but other studies have found no effect. When using GLA for symptoms of arthritis, it may take 1 – 3 months for benefits to appear. It is unlikely that evening primrose oil would help stop progression of the disease, so joint damage would still occur.
Omega-6 fatty acids from food or supplements, such as GLA from evening primrose oil or other sources, have a longstanding history of folk use for allergies. Women who are prone to allergies appear to have lower levels of GLA in breast milk and blood. However, there is no good scientific evidence that taking GLA helps reduce allergy symptoms. Well conducted research studies are needed.
If you decide to try GLA for allergies, work with your health care provider to first determine if it is safe for you. Then follow your allergy symptoms closely for any signs of improvement or lack or improvement.
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Clinical studies suggest that children with ADHD have lower levels of EFAs, both omega-6s and omega-3s. EFAs are important to normal brain and behavioral function. Some studies indicate that taking fish oil (containing omega-3 fatty acids) may help reduce ADHD symptoms, though the studies have not been well designed. Studies that used evening primrose oil have found it was no better than placebo at reducing symptoms.
Breast cancer
One study found that women with breast cancer who took GLA had a better response to tamoxifen (a drug used to treat estrogen sensitive breast cancer) than those who took only tamoxifen. Other studies suggest that GLA inhibits tumor activity among breast cancer cell lines. There is some research suggesting that a diet rich in omega-6 fatty acids may promote breast cancer development.
Evidence is mixed as to whether evening primrose oil can help reduce symptoms of eczema. Some early studies found benefit, but they were not well designed. Later studies that examined people who took evening primrose oil for 16 – 24 weeks found no improvement in symptoms. If you want to try evening primrose oil, talk to your health care provider about whether it is safe for you.
High blood pressure (Hypertension)
There is some preliminary evidence that GLA may help reduce high blood pressure, either alone or in combination with omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), found in fish oil. In one study, men with borderline high blood pressure who took 6g of blackcurrant oil had a reduction in diastolic blood pressure compared to those who took placebo.
Another study examined people with intermittent claudication, pain in the legs while walking that is caused by blockages in the blood vessels. Those who took GLA combined with EPA had a reduction in systolic blood pressure compared to those who took placebo.
More research is needed to see whether GLA is truly effective for hypertension.
Menopausal symptoms
Evening primrose oil has gained popularity as a way to treat hot flashes associated with menopause, but so far studies have not shown that it works. If you want to try evening primrose oil for hot flashes and night sweats, ask your health care provider whether it is safe and right for you.
Some evidence suggests that evening primrose oil may reduce breast pain and tenderness in people with cyclic mastalgia. It may also help reduce symptoms to a lesser extent in people with non cyclic mastalgia. However, it does not seem to be effective for severe breast pain.
Multiple Sclerosis
Evening primrose oil has been suggested as an additional treatment (in addition to standard therapy) for multiple sclerosis (MS) although there is no scientific evidence that it works. MS patients who want to add evening primrose oil to their treatment regimens should talk with a health care provider.
Some studies suggest that people who don' t get enough of some essential fatty acids (particularly EPA and GLA) are more likely to have bone loss than those with normal levels of these fatty acids. In a study of women over 65 with osteoporosis, those who took EPA and GLA supplements had less bone loss over 3 years than those who took placebo. Many of these women also experienced an increase in bone density.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
Although most studies have found no effect, some women report relief of PMS symptoms when using GLA. The symptoms that seem to be helped the most are breast tenderness and feelings of depression, as well as irritability and swelling and bloating from fluid retention.
Dietary Sources:
For general health, there should be a balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. The ratio should be in the range of 2:1 – 4:1, omega-6 to omega-3 — and some health educators advocate even lower ratios. The average diet provides plenty of omega-6 fatty acids, so supplements are usually not necessary. People with specific conditions such as eczema or psoriasis, arthritis, diabetes, or breast tenderness (mastalgia) may want to ask their health care providers about taking omega-6 supplements.
Available Forms:
Omega-6 fatty acids are available in supplemental oils that contain linoleic acid (LA) and gamma linolenic acid (GLA), such as evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) and black currant (Ribes nigrum) oils. Spirulina (often called blue-green algae) also contains GLA.
How to Take It:
The average diet provides sufficient omega-6 fatty acids, so supplementation is usually not necessary unless you're treating a specific condition, such as eczema or psoriasis, arthritis, diabetes, or breast tenderness (mastalgia).
The dose and form of omega-6 fatty acids to be supplemented depends on many factors, including condition being treated, age, weight, and other medications and supplements being used. Speak to your doctor to determine what form and what dose of omega-6 fatty acids are most appropriate for you.
Because of the potential for side effects and interactions with medications, dietary supplements should be taken only under the supervision of a knowledgeable health care provider.
Do not take omega-6 if you have a seizure disorder because there have been reports of these supplements causing seizures. Several reports describe seizures in people taking evening primrose oil. Some of these seizures developed in people with a previous seizure disorder, or in people taking evening primrose oil in combination with anesthetics. People who plan to undergo surgery requiring anesthesia should stop taking evening primrose oil 2 weeks ahead of time.
Borage seed oil, and possibly other sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), should not be taken during pregnancy because they may harm the fetus and induce early labor.
Avoid doses of GLA greater than 3,000 mg per day. At that level, an increase in inflammation may occur.
Side effects of evening primrose oil can include occasional headache, abdominal pain, nausea, and loose stools. In animal studies, GLA is reported to decrease blood pressure. Early results in human studies do not show consistent changes in blood pressure.
Laboratory studies suggest that omega-6 fatty acids, such as the fat found in corn oil, promote the growth of prostate tumor cells. Until more research is done, health care professionals recommend not taking omega-6 fatty acids, including GLA, if you are at risk of or have prostate cancer.
Possible Interactions:
If you are currently being treated with any of the following medications, you should not use omega-6 supplements without first talking to your health care provider.
Blood thinning medications — People taking blood thinning medications, including warfarin (Coumadin) or clopidogrel (Plavix), should not take omega-6 fatty acid supplements without consulting a health care provider. Omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids may increase the risk of bleeding.
Ceftazidime — Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) may increase the effectiveness of ceftazidime. Ceftazidinme, an antibiotic, is used against a variety of bacterial infections.
Chemotherapy for cancer — GLA may increase the effects of anti cancer treatments, such as doxorubicin, cisplatin, carboplatin, idarubicin, mitoxantrone, tamoxifen, vincristine, and vinblastine.
Cyclosporine — Cyclosporine is a medication used to suppress the immune system after organ transplant. Taking omega-6 fatty acids with cyclosporine may increase the immunosuppressive effects of this medication. It may also protect against kidney damage (a potential side effect from this medication).
Phenothiazines — People taking a class of medications called phenothiazines to treat schizophrenia should not take evening primrose oil. Evening primrose oil may interact with these medications and increase the risk of seizures. The same may be true for other omega-6 supplements. These medications include:
Chlorpromazine (Thorazine)
Fluphenazine (Stelazine)
Perphenazine (Trilafon)
Promethazine (Compazine)
Thioridazine (Mellaril)
Alternative Names:
Evening primrose oil; EPO; Linoleic acid; LA

text: I'm not sure what Jermaine Jackson thinks people are going to want to buy from him or if he really thinks he can be the industry sales leader of plastic hair, but he still has petitioned to have his name changed. He wants to change it to Jermaine Jacksun. Yeah. The only reason I can think he would want to change it is because he wants to trademark his name. It could be of course that he doesn't want people to know he is related to the rest of his family, but was afraid if he called himself Jermaine Smith that no one would ever hire him again. Wait, is anyone hiring him now? What he should do is throw a wig on his head and call himself LaToya or put on a bunch of wigs and have a one man show where he portrays his whole family. I hope someone shows up at the hearing and says their name is Jacksun and they don't want Jermaine to have the same last name.

"John, why did you bench Marion Gaborik for the first 11 minutes of the third period?"
End of press conference.
The Rangers' superstar and many of his teammates were non-factors in a game the Devils on David Clarkson's third-period goal.
It was the rugged winger's third game-winner of the playoffs.
The Devils also got goals from Ilya Kovalchuk and fourth-liner Ryan Carter.
The home team got goals from Marc Staal and Chris Kreider, both on power plays.
Shot blocks were down: 16 by the Rangers (half of that total by Ryan McDonagh), seven by the Devils.
But there were 74 hits, 39 by the Rangers.

Colleton County Deputies seize large sum of money that K-9 targets as having narcotic odor
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
On Tuesday, October 29 at approximately 9:26 p.m. a deputy with the Colleton County Sheriff's Office, while on route patrol, observed a white 2013 Toyota Minivan commit a traffic violation.
A traffic stop was initiated near the 45 mile marker on Interstate 95 southbound. During the traffic stop, consent to search the vehicle was granted by the driver.
While searching the vehicle, deputies located a large sum of US currency inside luggage located in the rear of the vehicle. A narcotics detection K-9 was deployed on the currency and gave a positive alert for the presence of narcotic odor on the US currency.
Homeland Security Investigations, HSI, was called to assist and the US currency, $137,400.01, was abandoned by both occupants of the vehicle.
This incident is still under investigation. No arrests have been made at this time.

Here's the story of the Yom Kippur I will never forget. I was 15 and absentmindedly broke the fast early with a few corn chips.
The most memorable Yom Kippur for me was 5746, my 15th. After the morning services I went to my friend Karen's house and prematurely broke the fast with a few Cool Ranch Doritos. When I confessed to my father, he marched me over to Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel, led me halfway down the aisle and placed me in a seat.
"Don't come home until after the shofar blows."
He whispered, but his words came down like a mighty tree. Then he left.
I was terrified.
I spent several hours in that synagogue, at first seething and resisting. Because shul is a drag and I didn't mean to break the fast but everyone else was eating Doritos and I momentarily forgot it was Yom Kippur and it was an accident and it's not fair.
Sometime in the late afternoon service, Cantor Mark Kushner, the man who tutored me for my Bat Mitzvah — and later circumcised both my sons — began the Ashamnu. His beautiful voice so elevated me that I couldn't help listening. I read the words. I laid my fist on my chest. I asked forgiveness. I al chet-ed my little heart out.
My father was trying to punish me — he knew how much I hated synagogue. But in those last hours, the Dorito crumbs digested and the stomach howling for more, lightheaded and entranced, I stood, I sat, I sang, I swayed. I felt this certainty that I was forgiven.
I have not broken the fast since, but I am the only person in my house who fasts. My sons (9 and 7) are too young, and my husband isn't into it. I was strongarmed into Judaism, High Holiday services, Shabbat, Hebrew school, fasting, keeping Passover – but it worked. I know I can't similarly strongarm my family into keeping the fast. But I hope, if I can show them the beauty in it year after year, that at least one of them will join me.

BATHURST, N.B. - The Tisdale Trojans (Western Region) were crowned 2002 Air Canada Cup champions Sunday afternoon in Bathurst, in front of 2,943 spectators at the K.C. Irving Regional Centre. The Trojans defeated the Dartmouth Subways (Atlantic Region) 6-2 to claim the sixth championship for the Western Region in the last 10 years.
Tisdale jumped out to an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Adam Flick and Myles Zimmer. Zimmer would add his second of the game with just under a minute to go in the period to give the Trojans a 3-0 lead heading into the second period.
In the middle period, Brett Parker increased the Trojan lead to four goals just over a minute in, but 14 year-old tournament Top Scorer and Most Valuable Player Sidney Crosby put his team on the board with his 11th goal of the championship at the 13:52 mark. A late goal in the second period gave the Trojans a 5-1 lead with only 20 minutes to go.
Dartmouth tried to make a game of it in the third with a Colin Ledaire goal at the 8:35 mark, but Tisdale put the game out of reach when Myles Zimmer completed his hat trick with a shorthanded marker with less than five minutes to go.
Trojan goaltender Nathan Fischl made 21 saves to claim the victory. Zimmer was named player-of-the-game for Tisdale while Matt Silver took the honours for Dartmouth.
In earlier action on Sunday, Les Riverains du College Charles-Lemoyne (Quebec Region) defeated the Red Deer Chiefs (Pacific Region) 6-4 to capture the bronze medal.

How do you make text boxes and text areas render at same width in different browsers? Text boxes use width to define its width unlike text areas they use col's.. And the measurement of cols are different on different browsers. Thus you will get different weird shapes on different browsers. Any thoughts highly appreciated.
Just give them all a px width. E.g.
input[type="text"], textarea {width: 300px;}
you don't even need to use pixels for the width. Any unit will work to define them as being the same width as long as you specify it in the CSS.
The values specified in the HTML only need to be there for the extremely rare person who has CSS disabled. Since inputs generally display reasonably for that situation you would generally only specify a size for textareas in the HTML itself as a default size to display in this rare situation.
The other thing to note is that most browsers now allow textareas to be resized by the person filling out the form so just because you set it to the same width as the inputs doesn't mean it will stay that way if someone decides they want to make it wider.
I find that other units, like ems and %, get inconsistent results with inputs/textareas, so I tend to use px for these now. If you set both textarea and input to width: 60%, for example, one tends to appear wider than the other. Not sure why ... (that's with font sizes / fonts / padding etc all equalized, too ...)
It worked, I just had to be more specific like #myform input[type="text"], textarea {width: 500px;} as it was targeting all my text boxes around the site :). Thanks!
Since all form fields need an id to attach the label to the field in a semantic way, why not just use a list of all the ids and not bother referencing whether they are input or textarea fields.
I'm not very clear here. Did u mean like this?
Felgall is saying that each of your text inputs and textareas ideally should have a unique id, such as
Email Address
<input name="email" type="email" id="email" value="">
Comments
<textarea name="comments" id="comm"></textarea>
So then you would style those inputs with something like
#email, #comm {width: 500px;}
It's not necessarily the most efficient option, though, especially if you have a lot of inputs/textareas.
Note that your code should have been this:
#myform input[type="text"], #myform textarea {width: 500px;}
rather than this:
#myform input[type="text"], textarea {width: 500px;}
Yes yes you are dead right.. I should add #myform. Thanks! There is no way to target more than one child element in css without repeating the parent id? Is there something like #myform (input[type="text"], textarea) {width: 500px;} ? lol
I think he means:
#myform, #yourform, #hisform, #herform {width:500px}
could also be written:
#herform {
also this is pretty new for me
I was wondering why it is like this input[type=text] instead of just 'text' just like 'textarea' and other tags in css ?
You will find a good explanation of the attribute selector here:
No, not in regular CSS, although things like SASS or LESS etc. may do something like that. (It's hard for me to tell, though, from the other end of my 40 foot pole.)
As Ron's link indicates, it's a way of targeting just some of the inputs. If you just used
input {width: 500px;}
that would also target the submit input, which looks pretty lousy. So
input[type="text"] {width: 500px;}
targets just inputs with a type attribute of "text".
My point was like textarea is an input too. So how come we type textarea without putting input in front of or go a step forward specifying the type. What I mean is why we don't say
input[type="textarea"] or input textarea ..
No, it's not. <textarea> is an element in its own right, like <input>, or
, or
. So you target it in CSS as textarea { [I]styles[/I] }. You can't target <textarea> as an <input>, because it isn't one.
textarea { [I]styles[/I] }
Wow.. That is an interesting discovery for me. I made my self count it as an input type. Good tricky quiz problem for newbies this one I guess.
If you have set the forms up to be accessible by properly labelling all the inputs and textareas and if you do it semantically (that is without making the field itself a part of the label) then you have to give each an id in order to attach the label to the field.
Email Address
<input name="email" type="email" [B]id="email"[/B] value="">
Since the id has to be there anyway to semantically attach the label you may as well use it to simplify your CSS and JavaScript references to that field.
Of course if you have lots of fields in the form then setting them all to a specific width would be easier done using input[type="text"] but most likely you will not want all of them to have the same width and so at least any that are not the same as the majority can be set using their id.
Yes, of course. What I meant was that having to target a potentially long list of IDs in the CSS is less efficient than just targeting all the text inputs in one swoop with a single selector.

In February 2012, Alaska announced its participation in a $25 billion federal-state settlement with the nation's five largest servicers relating to unfair mortgage servicing practices. For information about the settlement:
The terms of a credit card agreement vary between different credit card issuers. It is important to shop around when applying for a credit card and to understand the terms of your credit card agreement.
The Federal Reserve's Consumer's Guide to Credit Cards provides detailed information about credit card offers, credit card statements and other credit related topics.
The Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) and the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) set limits on your liability for unauthorized charges if your credit or debit card is lost or stolen, however you are responsible for reporting a lost or stolen card to your credit or debit card issuer. To be safe, you should report lost or stolen credit or debit cards as quickly as possible.
Your liability for unauthorized charges made on a credit card is different than your liability for unauthorized withdrawals or purchases made with a debit card.
You cannot be held responsible for any unauthorized charges made on your credit card after you have reported it lost or stolen. If someone makes unauthorized charges using your credit card before you report it lost or stolen, your maximum liability is $50.
Your liability for unauthorized withdrawals or purchases made on your debit card depends on when you report your card lost or stolen. If unauthorized withdrawals or purchases are made using your debit card after you report it lost or stolen, you have no liability. If you discover that your debit card is lost or stolen and report your loss to the card issuer within two days, your maximum liability is $50. Your maximum liability is $500 if you report the loss after two business days but within 60 days of your bank sending you a statement showing the unauthorized withdrawals. There is no limit to your liability if you don't report that your debit card was lost or stolen within 60 days of receiving a statement showing the unauthorized withdrawals or purchases.
The FTC website has additional information about lost or stolen debit, ATM and credit cards.
Credit billing disputes and unauthorized charges on your credit card can be resolved under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
To take full advantage of the law, write to the card issuer as soon as you learn of the error or unauthorized charge. Your credit card issuer must receive your letter within 60 days of sending you the bill that contained the error. Letters should be sent to the special address for billing inquiries listed on your credit card bill. In your letter, include: your name; account number; date, type and dollar amount of the disputed charge; and why you think there was a mistake.
In order to exercise your rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act you must provide written notification of the error or disputed item to your credit card issuer. Many consumers forfeit their rights under the Act because they rely on calling the credit card issuer to correct billing issues.
Once your credit card issuer receives your letter, the issuer must acknowledge your letter in writing within 30 days and conduct a reasonable investigation of the disputed charges. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, your credit card issuer must fix the error or explain why the bill is correct.
The FTC website on Fair Credit Billing provides additional information about the Fair Credit Billing Act and includes a sample letter you can use to dispute items on your credit card bill.
The FTC website also has information about what to do when you are billed for merchandise you never received.
Many financial institutions issue credit or debit cards. Financial institutions are regulated by various state and federal agencies. To learn more about filing a complaint about a financial institution you can visit the website of the agency that regulates it.
Alaska State Banks and State Chartered Financial Institutions - State of Alaska Division of Banking and Securities
Federal Credit Unions - National Credit Union Administration
National Banks - Comptroller of the Currency
Federal Savings and Loans - Office of Thrift Supervision
Your credit report provides a record of your credit activities; it summarizes your loans and credit card accounts, your payment history and whether any action has been taken against you for failing to make payments.
Your credit report is created by a consumer reporting agency (CRA) that gathers information from your creditors on an ongoing basis. CRAs store your information and supply it, for a fee, to individuals and businesses that have a permissible purpose to review your credit report. The most common CRAs are the three major credit bureaus: Trans Union, Equifax, and Experian.
Your credit score is calculated based on information contained in your credit report, but is not part of your credit report. Your credit score (also called your credit rating) is important because it affects your financial opportunities such as buying a home or getting a loan. A poor credit score will limit your financial opportunities. Protect and improve your credit score by making payments on time and by not taking on more debt than you can afford.
The FTC website has additional information about credit reports, credit scoring and repairing your credit.
Because your credit report is updated on an ongoing basis, it is important to review and check it for errors regularly.
A federal law called the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires the three major credit bureaus to provide you with one free copy of your credit report each year. You can also request a free copy of your credit report within 60 days of a company taking adverse action against yousuch as denying your application for credit, insurance, or employmentbased on your credit report.
You can request a copy of your credit report online at www.annualcreditreport.comthe only place authorized under federal law to provide you with a free credit report. Be cautious of other websites and companies that offer "free" credit reports. They often require you to sign up for services you have to pay for in order to receive a free copy of your report.
You can also get a free copy of your credit report by calling 1-877-322-8228, or filling out an Annual Credit Report Request form and mailing it to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O.

Payday loans are short-term cash loans based on the borrower's personal check held for future deposit or on electronic access to the borrower's bank account.
Borrowers write a personal check for the amount borrowed plus the finance charge and receive cash. In some cases, borrowers sign over electronic access to their bank accounts to receive and repay payday loans.
Lenders hold the checks until the borrower's next payday when loans and the finance charge must be paid in one lump sum. Borrowers can pay back a loan with cash or allow the lender to deposit the check at the bank. Alternatively, a borrower can pay the finance charge to roll the loan over for another pay period.
Consumers are urged to use caution when applying for payday loans because the interest rates and fees can be high. Take the time to learn how payday loans work and read all of the lender's terms and conditions before borrowing.
Payday lenders, referred to in Alaska as deferred deposit advanced lenders, are licensed and regulated by the State of Alaska, Division of Banking and Securities.
All payday lenders, including out-of-state lenders, that issue loans in Alaska are required to obtain a license from the Division of Banking and Securities. The Division publishes an annual Directory of Financial Institutions online which includes a list of payday lenders that are licensed in Alaska. The Division also publishes online reports summarizing payday lending in Alaska.
For more payday loan requirements in Alaska, including limits on loan amounts and fees, see Alaska Statutes 06.50.400-06.50.560.
The FTC issued a consumer alert urging consumers to consider alternatives to payday loans.
The Consumer Federation of America's website has information about how payday loans work.

In her "State of the State" address last week, Governor Granholm announced her intention to eliminate the Department of History, Arts, and Libraries (HAL). What that will mean for Michigan libraries of all types is not yet clear and likely will not be for several weeks.
When the Governor issues her proposed budget, we will know if state aid to public libraries and the Library of Michigan are slated for cuts. We should know if the entire department will be folded in elsewhere in state government, if it will be divided, if it will be totally eliminated. Some federal money funnels to libraries through the Library of Michigan... how will that be handled? And what about the electronic databases provided to us with federal money through the Library of Michigan? How about MeLCat, the state wide catalog through which interlibrary loan is carried out?
There are many questions yet to be answered within the scope of an expected $400 million deficit for this state this budget year and $1 billion for next year. These library questions are just a few.
At KPL we continue to monitor state funding developments closely and look for economies in our operations. These are challenging times for everyone.
Do come visit soon, though. We are continuously adding new print and AV materials to our collections and offering programs for all ages.

I know this has been going on for a while the tweak recap not best tweaks, but i'd like to thank you anthony and mmi for listening to your active users and after all the crap we can give you etc. you dont get angry haha anyway thanks for changing it and actually participating with the community!
AND as you cant jailbreak iPads on 6.** and iPhone 5, and whatever all those jailbreakers will happily move to the totally customizable, (yea I'll say it) ANDROID devices.
I've already moved to a Galaxy Tab for my tablet needs and its so much better than an iPad.
The next is when this iPhone 4 dies which is shortly I'll be getting another Android device then Apple can kiss my a**. Well they already can kiss it.
The only thing that MIGHT keep me using Apple devices is a jailbreak and if it doesn't come soon I wont be looking back or caring about Apple again. They don't care enough about its customers to give them more money to hate us even more.
When you read these posts you think that jailbreaking will actually make your device better... Its doesn't jailbreaking alone will slow down your device and once you install tweak it becomes way worst unresponsive and your phone might start booting into safe mode, and will most likely get stuck on a respring loop... The worst part is that once you install winterboard or dreamboard it gets even worst... Just 5 hours ago i jailbroke my iphone 4 and each time i got a notification or phone call my device entered safe mode :/ so i restored... I think that if you dont like the way the iphone looks, then you should consider buying another phone... Tweaks will fix it for you but it will start other problems...
Hahahahaha i never said that a non jailbreak didnt have any problems i mean i hate the fact that it doesnt have a quick toggle like sbsetting or ncsetting but i still rather not having these options over having a slow phone that randomly gets stuck in a respring loop...
Only use well made tweaks. Don't overload your phone with crap.
Winterboard is fine, just be careful with widgets. If you think a theme lags try a theme done by a professional. Someone like Fi7ty or Nitsua (plenty of others too) Those guys optimise images beforehand.
Keep a close eye on your mobile substrates. Overload them and your phone will lag/reset.
On 5.1.1 on an iPhone 4, not once did it reset itself into safe mode. (It did lots of times when I was on 4.2 as I experimented lots!). My phone was no quicker or slower than my partners stock i4. Although mine looked a hella lot more cooler and worked more conveniently to my own needs. (I also installed the light mod on the back)

Dax Raymond watched his coach throughout the game. Cary Whittingham was wearing short sleeves, shorts and high socks, unwilling to break a superstition and bundle up in arctic conditions at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
To Raymond and his Timpview team, it was a message: If I can brave the cold, so can you.
"Our coaches got it into our brains that the snow wasn't going to affect us," Raymond said. "It didn't."
The Thunderbirds delivered Friday against East in one of the most anticipated high school football matches of the year, topping the No. 1-ranked 4A team with a potent passing game and a tough defense that had a knack for picking up fumbles. The result was a 32-14 win that sent Timpview, a team that has faced all kinds of adversity this year, into next week's final.
Quarterback Jake Lloyd looked very much the part of a championship-caliber quarterback, throwing for 266 yards and four touchdowns while running for another. By the time the Thunderbirds cranked up for 19 unanswered points in the second half, the Leopards seemed to be out of steam.
It was sweet revenge over the team that knocked out Timpview in the semifinals last year.
"It was pretty fun to me; hope it's like that next week," Lloyd said. "We talked about last year, we were a bunch of little boys last year playing against men. … This year, we're physical, we're running fast. We're playing like men."
But the offense wasn't alone in its execution. Although East managed 161 yards, the Timpview defense took advantage of turnovers. The Thunderbirds recovered four fumbles and caught an interception, making up for their own fumble on the first kickoff return of the game.
The Leopards made dents, scoring two first-half touchdowns with Ula Tolutau and Niel Robbins. But fumbles got the better of them in the second half, when the team was held scoreless. Timpview also had a pair of sacks and seven total tackles for a loss in the game.
"Our kids battled their hearts out," Whittingham said. "They did a good job. I couldn't ask for anything more."
The Thunderbirds carried themselves well, belying a year's worth of drama: a coach who was forced out after an audit of the school, a season's worth of wins vacated from last year, and several other forfeits this year.
But that was behind them, as are the Leopards. Timpview is back in the finals for the first time since 2009, and the T-birds want to win.
"We have a sloppy couple last years, but I think this year it's really big for us because of so much adversity," Lloyd said. "It's emotional because of the things we've had taken away from us. When you have things taken away, to build back up is just amazing."
R Jake Lloyd goes 17 for 24 for 266 yards and four touchdowns, while also running for another score.
• Dax Raymond leads all receivers with 101 yards and two touchdowns on seven catches.
• The Leopards lose four fumbles and an interception, helping turn the game in Timpview's favor.

snacks for a 2 year old
My 2 year old girl started a new habit after christmas. She asks me for chocolate every morning. I don't really want to give her, but sometimes I have to. How can I make her to eat less chocolate? She loved the fruits before christmas, now she wants only sweets, no fruit

Dear Jasmin,
This does really sound like a habit that your daughter has got into. I would stop giving her any chocolate in the morning (as this won't be good for her blood sugar levels or teeth). Instead, plan in advance to have some special healthy snacks ready for her. Try to choose snacks she may particularly like or that you can make into interesting shapes. You could try:
- pitted dates
- fruit faces (e.g. banana eyes, grape nose and orange mouth!)
- bowl of yoghurt with raisins scattered in it
- wholemeal toast with almond butter on top
You could also try dried fruit if she wants something sweet. Try putting them in little cake cases to make them more appealing. Presentation matters to toddlers!
Is it as soon as she wakes up that she is asking for the chocolate or throughout the morning? I am wondering if she feels very hungry straight away and thinks of chocolate as a quick way to fill up? If so, it may help for her to eat a substantial snack around 1 hr before she goes to bed e.g. porridge or another slow-energy releasing food.
I hope this helps.
Warm wishes,

Thank you. everything depends on presentation
22nd January 2014 06:59 AM #4
Yes kids have an eye for presentation!
I came across some great plates recently that had a blank face printed onto them and them you could 'decorate' the face with different food items to make different faces. I thought that this would work well with toddlers.
Smoothies are another simply, nutritious snack and most kids really enjoy them. You can get your little one to help you choose the ingredients for the smoothie and create one together to help her to feel more involved in her snacks.
I hope this helps - let me know how you get on.
Best wishes,

I have a question about the fruits. When my bub was about 7 months old, my husband gave her just one tablespoon of strawberry yoghurt. That night we didn't sleep, and a doctor had to come to us. She was allergic to the berries. The doc told me not to give her any berries. Now she is 2, I wonder if I can give her strawberry, or jam, or anything that contains berries?
26th January 2014 06:51 AM #6
Dear Jasmin,
I'm sorry to hear that, that must have been very worrying for you.
Please could I ask how your daughter reacted to the strawberry yoghurt?
Here is some information on Food Allergy and Intolerance which I hope you will find helpful. It would be best for you to discuss with your doctor what he/she advises before giving your daughter any berries. This is because allergic reactions can vary widely in nature and severity from child to child and your doctor is best-placed (knowing your daughter's medical history) to do this. Therefore, I would wait until you have spoken to your daughter's doctor before introducing any berries to her diet.
Your doctor may arrange for your daughter to have allergy testing.
There is also a wealth of resources at the kids with food allergies website.
Best wishes,

7 Weeks Pregnancy and High TSH
Hello Everyone.
This is Raj from Canberra. Im new this forum.
My Wife name is Revathi She is now 7 weeks and 2 days Pregnancy.
Yesterday we got blood test and Dr found that She have TSH 9.2 (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone). Dr asks us to take OROXINE Tablets 50mcg and go for ultra sound thyroid and also Dr given referral letter to endocronologist
I would like to know how this going to be impact baby and what impact of this?
How to recover this? Could please advise us?

Hi Raj and Revathi,
This is a good question for our resident midwife, Jane, so I will ask her to reply when she has time (sometimes she's busy with births).
Thanks for the information. I know that High TSH can cause infertility, but I'm not sure what the impact on pregnancy would be, though I do know that hCG and estrogen (both of which increase during pregnancy) can cause TSH to become higher.
Here's a good page of information that should help you understand this better http://www.endocrine.niddk.nih.gov/pubs/pregnancy/.
Warm regards,
21st August 2012 03:40 PM #3
Hi Raj and Revathi, abnormal thyroid hormone tests can impact on a pregnancy. The visit to the endocrinologist will give you a lot more information about what is going on and what you'll need to do. They will try to get your thyroid hormone back to normal levels - so it will have minimal impact on the pregnancy. The information you've provided regarding the blood results shows you have high levels but if the doctor has put you oroxine - this doesn't make sense. Oxoxine is thyroid replacement therapy for low hormone levels. Are you sure about your blood result levels?

Hi Raj and Revathi,
Was your wife on Oxoxine before you had the blood test done? Just wondering if too much Oxoxine may have cause the TSH to be 9.2 (very high).
Did Revathi see the the Endocrinologist? If so, what did you learn?
Warm Regards,

Brand Streaming: The Need, Opportunity & Impact
At PRSA this year, I gave a presentation focusing on how brands are streaming their content today and how we need to think a little more strategically on how we do that. We can't simply post all of our content all over the place, but need to have a more focused stream for our content. This is not an easy process today. We not only have to be quick with content creation, but also agile enough to change up when the market moves. Dave Armon from Critical Mention interviewed me about the presentation – that video is at the top of the post, and my presentation deck is below:
Streaming The Brand: The Need, The Opportunity, The Impact
Keys communicators need to keep in mind when developing the content to support their brand's stream:
- People love a
goodtrue story
- Developing and maintaining the audience's trust is paramount (no one will pay attention if they don't trust you!)
- Make the content accessible: easy to find, view and use.
Learn more about managing brand streams at this week's FREE webinar hosted by PRSA and PR Newswire: Streaming Your Brand: Managing Brand Conversation and Cohesion in a Real-Time World
Thursday, October 27, 2011
Time: 12:00 PM Pacific, 1:00 PM Mountain, 2:00 PM Central, 3:00 PM Eastern
Duration:Approximately 45 minutes
About the Webinar
Content flowing from brand to constituent – and constituent to brand – has become a real-time, always-on stream…streaming across channels to media influencers, social influencers, consumers, policy makers and decision makers, and then streaming right back to you – full of insight and opportunity.The ability to more effectively and proactively manage this "brandstream" has much to do with your ability to lead conversations, ensure brand coherence, protect reputation and drive business results. From targeting to distribution to analysis, from social to traditional, the technology and tools now exist to allow you to unleash real-time communications and content opportunities like never before.
Join us as we take a closer look at the essential tools, tactics and practices to help you manage and empower your brandstream.

- Programs: Nanotechnology
Foothill College has developed an innovative five course program in nanoscience and nanotechnology, with an emphasis on nanomaterials engineering and materials characterization. This program is partially funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) DUE 0903316. Nanoscience is an interdisciplinary field based on principles related to the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic level in chemical, biological and material systems. Upon completion of this program, students will know how to operate state-of-the-art materials characterization tools and nanofabrication equipment, as well as be able to apply the concepts of nanoscience to emerging technology fields such as clean energy technology, biomedical devices and high-performance materials.
Our program emphasizes the fundamentals of the nanoengineering method that include application-driven process, properties, nanostructures, fabrication and characterization, the PNPA model. Students learn to apply these principles to further understand and create engineering solutions for industrial applications. Through projects and laboratory assignments, students learn structure-property relationships, process optimization and consistent material manufacturing. They learn skills to support fundamental research and development, process development, characterization and effective manufacturing practice in all sizes of high-technology firms.
The program offers three career paths: a two-year degree program for the technician who is interested in the science, engineering and manufacturing of nanotechnologies; traditional engineering for the university transfer student who intends to pursue a concentration in nanoscience; and career development for the working professional.
Our faculty conduct research at NASA Ames in advanced materials including nanocarbon and graphene, nanowires, and advanced materials for conversion of light into energy and capturing carbon dioxide.
