What about the final release? Can i OTA to the final release on the 28th?
Still no unlock sound in GM. Hasn't worked it the last 3 releases think someone would have fixed that. Lol
Need iTunes 11.1 and can't find that one
It's snappy. Much faster, much smoother. Love the new tones. Love the new wallpapers. I'm still not a huge fan of the look of iOS 7, but it's grown on me a lot over these last few months. Battery life seems great, too. I'm on 80% after music at the gym for 2 hours, some web browsing and about 15 mins of texts. Just thought I'd give my opinions if the GM so far.

Ankle Strap Shoes
When you are the owner of a stunning pair of getaway sticks (or, legs to use a more straightforward albeit less fun word), why not show them off with a little extra embellishment slightly north of your ankles. Clemence clearly favors this style, as she should. The ankle straps draw the eye down and shows off one of her (many) beautiful features.

Ohio Lottery considering higher-priced instant tickets
(Cleveland) — The Ohio Lottery is considering following in the footsteps of other states that have raised the maximum prices of instant tickets.
The Plain Dealer in Cleveland reports the Ohio Lottery might increase the top price for instant tickets from $20 to possibly $30.
Director Dennis Berg tells the Ohio Lottery Commission the lottery could increase prizes and improve odds for top-tier games. He says some states have set instant ticket prices as high as $50.
He says he doesn't think increase would deter lottery players. Scratch-off ticket sales have been slower in the past few months than during the same period last year.
The newspaper also says the lottery is planning a loyalty program with merchandise and free play for repeat customers.

i tether 5gb a month and never get an email or text from them
So how do they know the difference between us tethering and us watching a lot of streaming videos or downloading a lot of apps from **********?
I purchased MyWi for mine and my wife's i4's but we almost never use it and when we do its only for a few minutes or so. However, I download tons and tons of apps and she watches a lot of streaming videos.
Not everyone that JB and uses tethering are data hogs, on average I use about 500-750MB a month, I just need the ability to use my laptop to RDC and other stuff when traveling and I shouldnt have to pay more to use it, the data from my laptop is no different than the data to my phone, period.
Either use TeatherMe/PDANet and make sure the appropriate settings are on or keep MyWi and edit your Teather APN so that it matches your data APN.
$45 for 2GB? I'm lucky I'm not American. I get 6GB for $30 with Rogers in Canada
I got a email from att even though i had not even used tethering or mywi. I just use that much data on my iPhone. I only get 2gb a month and use about 4. I'm sorry but 2gb isn't enough data for a smartphone that does what the iPhone does. If i have to pay $45 extra a month to use the phone i will b pissed! My bill is around $100 a month without overages! For that money i should have everything unlimited on top of paying $200 for the phone! Kinda glad i only have 1 year left on my contract! I love my iPhone but they are squeezing my balls a little too tight!
It ALWAYS only "impacts a only small percentage of our smartphone customer base"
Just like uVerse download caps "only impact a small percentage of users".
I cant stand AT&T anymore. They're too greedy. They're only doing all this to save their dying network so they can support the T-Mobile acquisition. They decided to put money into buying out competition instead of pouring it into upgrading the network. Who would of thought?!
It's really funny to see people complain so much because they get caught cheating the system lol. For those who are wrongly accused and just use a lot of data that sucks.
This is not a judgment about whether it is appropriate to prohibit tethering on the unlimited plan, or whether the only way to get it on the 2GB plan is to be forced to buy another 2GB. (That debate is separate.) It is just the simple observation that AT&T has the ability to do what it is doing... and using it as a way to break free of a contract probably won't work.
I've used 9gigs of data in the last 26 days from just streaming hahahahaha!!!! Go Verizon!!!!!

Kentucky Radio Host Compares Firearms Regulations To Nazi "Yellow Star" Laws
Right-wing rhetoric on potential gun control measures in the wake of the school shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, continued to come unhinged as right-wing radio host Mandy Connell [1] (Kentucky's WHAS-AM) compared [2] a proposed firearms policy to the Nazi practice of forcing Jewish Germans to wear yellow stars [3].
Louisville radio station WFPL described the exchange [2] between Connell and Congressman John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) which took place on January 10:
In a tense exchange over gun control, WHAS radio host Mandy Connell told Congressman John Yarmuth, D-Ky., some regulations could be the first step in total citizen disarmament.
Yarmuth has co-sponsored a bill that would ban high-capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds and is a proponent of other regulations in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary school massacre.
In an on-air interview with Yarmuth on Thursday, Connell said responsible gun owners should also be concerned about further regulations, and compared attempts to register legal gun owners to the Nazi regime tagging Jewish Germans.
"Every country in the world that has taken and de-armed its citizenry started with incremental gun measures," she said. "This is not unprecedented in history and anybody that pays attention is right to be concerned of an overly intrusive government. Things like Diane Feinstein requiring gun owners to register if they're already a legal gun owner. Why don't we make them wear yellow stars as well? Why don't we tag everybody?"
Connell's statements aren't isolated. Right-wing media figures ranging from Matt Drudge to personalities on Fox News have dipped into the Nazi analogy pool in recent days. Drudge linked [4] to a report about a potential executive order regarding guns by placing photos of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin adjacent to the headline. A variety of Fox News [5]' guests and contributors, as well as other right-wing pundits, have made similar comparisons.

'Well, the lockout is in the past, and hopefully, so is that monotonous style of hockey. Every Sabres game won't be like Wednesday's, but if this level of play keeps up, fans should get their money's worth most nights. And it's been a long time since that could be said about NHL hockey.'

God, I love that Twitter widget over there ——>
On a day when there's news, it really does its job.
So Brandon Dubinsky and the Rangers avoided arbitration at the last second, and you know what? The deal is the right one for everybody. If it took a little longer than you'd like, or if it cause a little more discussion than it should have, it came out right in the end.
Four years, $16.8 million is right about where Dubinsky should be slotted, and for a long enough term that is good for both the player and the team. It isn't too much, it isn't too little, for either side.
Good job by Glen Sather, and by Dubinsky's side, too.
Now Dubinsky has to "get it" to another level. Last year, when he was probably the team's first-half MVP, it seemed he figured out the idea of consistent effort, of moving is feet, finishing every check. That fell off a bit in the second half. Some of that might have had to do with the leg fracture, but some of it sure appeared to be his concentration level.
And, despite all the flack he takes in our comments section, this is a really good hockey player, a cornerstone player, a guy who does a lot of everything for his team. He's a guy other teams would love to take off the Rangers' hands. He's a keeper.

Hi all,
I found out a strange but on the website which is about international local sim card solutions www.onlineabroad.com
Have a look at the footer "black block" and see how the link blocks are nicely placed within the black block.
Now put something in your shopping cart and view your shopping cart and look again. The links are now outside the black block! I have troubleshoot it for hours with no solution.
Hopefully there are some pro's here who know what is going on...
Works fine for me in Chrome. What browser are you using?
strange...I tested it in Chrome and Firefox. Did you put something in your shopping cart and then viewed your cart? The point is that on any page it looks good except on the shopping cart page
Yes. But looking again, I see it now. It's not great the way you've structure that layout. I guess you could fix it easily enough with something like this:
.region-footer-second-inner {
background: #333;
That's much more reliable than negative margins and what not. I'm not sure why the styles are different from one page to another (extra top margin), but I guess you are in a better position to figure that out.
Thank you ralph.m!
So stupid, your suggestion is much much simpler and therefore alone better if you ask me. Nevertheless, why do you state that negative margins are less reliable? Looking at documentation it seems that negative margins are well supported.
And in addition, how did you figured out that there is extra top margin? I am still unable to see so myself...
Ok, found it out and as always...simple once you know it.
On the basis of a certain page extra blocks are loaded which apparently had a higher height than 0. This meant that the links where pushed down on the shopping cart pages for instance...
Negative margins are fine most of the time but do have different behaviours depending on what element they are applied to. For example a right negative margin on a left float will drag any content that is on the right inside the float. Whereas a negative right margin on a normal width-less block element will in fact make the element itself larger by the amount of the negative margin.
You also need to take into account cleared elements as a negative margin will have no effect on an element that has cleared a float (indeed positive margins will work on cleared elements but only when the margin is greater than the distance to the containing block). More info here.
Negative margins are fine as long as you understand the above and are not using them to fix something that could be done more easily otherwise.
Thanks Paul for this clarification. I understand what you mean and could not agree more with your last point. I still find it cool that I found out that negative margin way of working though. Seems like it is more suited for offsetting an element now or then, opposed to using it as positioning the larger base elements on a website.
Yes, as Paul pointed out, I did not choose my words well. In your case, negative margins seemed more of a hack to cover for a less-than-ideal layout structure, and was falling apart when it didn't need to. I certainly use negative margins too, but only when they are really needed.
how did you figured out that there is extra top margin? I am still unable to see so myself...
Browsers lke Chrome have a great Inspect Element feature. Just right click on the element and a window opens at the bottom that shows the HTML and CSS underlying the page. When you hover over the HTML, the element is highlighted on screen, along with any margin, padding etc. Very handy.
Thanks again ralph.m

McMillan, Terry. Getting to Happy
Terry McMillan's quartet of Phoenix girlfriends have grown older but not wiser in this Waiting to Exhale sequel. Gloria, Savannah, Bernadine, and Robin struggle through the joys and heartaches of grown children, wayward husbands, unexpected tragedy, and newfound romance. Critics have had mixed reactions to the book, with a few complaining that the plot is unsurprising or that the characters have not matured much at middle age. While it's true that McMillan doesn't really break much new ground with the plot, she throws in enough twists and surprises to keep the reader turning pages. And, for those who enjoyed the original novel, the characters are like old friends, and McMillan's dialogue is as witty and engaging as ever. This is a fast, light read for fans of popular women's fiction.


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When it comes to Lending Club, membership may -- or may not -- have its privileges. "I am very supportive of this company," said Peter Renton, CEO and founder of Denver-based Lend Academy, an industry information and training organization aimed at the fast-growing peer-to-peer lending market. "But I still feel the management is missing an opportunity to properly explain what the investor opportunity is for the long term." Renton, a blogger and author, has written a book called The Lending Club Story about how, starting in 2007, a consumer lending unknown named Renaud Laplanche grew to harness more than $2 billion in investable assets and attract backers such as top-tier VC firm Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers; former secretary of the Treasury Lawrence Summers; and Google ( GOOG). "The attraction is clear. At its heart, peer lending is a fabulous new asset class for both investors and consumers," said Andy Dull, managing partner of Twin-Engine Consulting, a Richmond, Va., consumer lending consultancy that has done work at Lending Club. It also never hurts that there are whispers of a massive IPO for the ticker, probably next year. What's Lending Club's secret? It cleverly uses the Web to flank traditional Wall Street lenders by connecting directly those with money to lend to those in the market to borrow. I am not ashamed to admit I was impressed when Lending Club COO Scott Sanborn confirmed to me in an email that investors saw roughly a 6% annualized returns, net of fees, not only in 2008, but also 2009 and 2010. If you remember, friends, that is when traditional banks paid nothing. "I am very proud of the performance of the platform during the worst downturn in 75 years," company founder Laplanche told me last week. But several months ago a slow and steady drumbeat of concern began flowing my way over how investor returns are disclosed at Lending Club. Back in May, Allan Roth, an analyst I trust, wrote at CBS MoneyWatch that his test investment of $2,600 gave him returns much lower than expected.

Italian family roots inspired Frank's early interest and enthusiasm for good food and great wine. With three earlier generations of his family working as agriculturists and entrepreneurs, it is not surprising that (while heading an international horticultural business), Frank found the energy and passion to pursue his dream of creating world-class wines. The business was established in 1999 and a year later the first Mitolo wine was launched. It was called G.A.M.; named after Frank's three children and the next generation of Mitolo's, Gemma, Alexander and Marco.
Acclaimed winemaker Ben Glaetzer is a partner in the business and the combination of his winemaking skills and Frank's vision have led Mitolo to international recognition and acclaim. What started out as a dream is becoming an exciting reality, and Mitolo Wines has only just begun on its journey. View all Mitolo Wines

Brevard, N.C. – Brittany Webster of the women's soccer team and Junior Montano of the men's soccer team have been named the Sports Spot Student-Athletes of the Month for September. The award is presented by Sports Spot, in conjunction with the Brevard College Athletic Department.
Webster was voted the Female Student-Athlete of the Month by the BC Head Coaching staff over fellow nominees Kortney Conner of volleyball and Angela Canale of cross country.
Webster receives the award for the second time in her career after a month in which she recorded 70 saves. Webster tied her career-high in saves with 16 against USC Aiken on September 8th before breaking the BC saves record with 19 against Young Harris on September 11th. Webster surpassed Sydney Douglas, whose 17 saves against Montavello on September 6, 2009 was the standing record for saves in a game.
Montano was voted the Men's Student-Athlete of the Month by the BC Head Coaching staff over fellow nominees Patrick Helmick of cross country and Aaron Reese of football.
Montano is a first-time winner of the Athlete of the Month honors after scoring the game-winning goal in the 99th minute of overtime against Tusculum College on September 11th. The goal lifted BC to a 1-0 victory, and a 1-0 start in SAC play. The junior also scored a goal against USC Aiken on September 8th to give BC a 1-1 tie. Montano started all nine games at forward for the Tornados in September.
These two athletes will be presented with action shots recognizing their award, which will be displayed in the lobby of Boshamer Gymnasium for the entire school year. A total of eight female and male Sports Spot Athletes of the Month will be selected in the 2012-2013 academic year. The award is selected from qualified candidates each month by the athletic department staff.

Need to add a little color to your curves? We Love Colors might be able to help. They offer a rainbow of colors in their plus sized tights, 51 to be exact! I was given the opportunity to review a pair of their Nylon/Lycra tights in Charcoal ($15).These opaque tights (courtesy of WLC) matched this charcoal Forever 21 Plus skirt, that I've been dying to wear. I just didn't have any tights to match. The scarf I wore even had some gray in it, so it all came together.
Like you, I've heard a lot about We Love Colors, but I wasn't sure about the quality. I found these tights to be really soft, comfortable, and durable. They come a wide range of sizes and when I first put them on I was worried they might be too big. But they never once rolled down or sagged like some tights do. They would be great for those on the taller side. But, I'm 5'6 and they were perfect for me. I can really see them getting a lot of wear in this chilly L.A. weather!
Update: Win your own pair of We Love Colors tights!! To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment below (with a valid email address) telling me which color you'd choose if you win! Go here for a list of colors.
For extra entries (make sure you leave a separate comment for each entry):
- "Like" We Love Colors on Facebook.
- Follow We Love Colors on Twitter.
- Tweet "@WeLoveColors and @CurvesandChaos want you to win a free pair of tights http://bit.ly/eGHIdx "
Rules: Must be 18 yrs or older to enter. This is open internationally. Only one entry per person, unless using extra entries. Contest ends 12/15/10 and winner will be chosen using Random.Org.
**Read my disclosure policy. I was not paid for this post, the item was gifted. All of the above is my true and honest opinion.

For me, spirit, haste and mastery are exactly equal. It doesn't matter at all whether I gem haste, mastery or spirit. After I reforge, I always have exactly 3043 haste, 7500 spirit (what I aim for atm) and the rest mastery. Last time I saw some int/haste gems on AH for 40g I used them, not to reach the breakpoint but because it doesn't make a difference at all. I doubt that with current gear you will get to the point where it's impossible to reforge down to the values you need.
So, at least for 10 mans, spirit = mastery = haste > crit (before reforges).

This is the shooting gallery that challenges players to quickly hit three rotating targets with a harmless infrared gun. Each of the three two-sided targets rotate randomly on an infrared-sensing base to reveal either an image of a wolf, bear, or mountain lion, with a fellow hunter on the reverse of each. The goal is to score as many points in one minute by only shooting prey with the infrared gun, which makes a "reloading" sound when pumped. Three modes of play decreases a target's exposure, requiring quick identification of friend or foe. Accurate shots are rewarded with a howl, growl, or hiss while the LED counter increases to show the score; reckless marksmanship causes the hunter to admonish shooters with phrases such as "that was close." Requires four AA and three AAA batteries. Ages 8 and up. (3 1/2 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Beast Or Buddy Shooting Gallery comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

This was a gift for my twelve year son who likes toy guns very much. He is hard to satisfy, but he says he enjoys this toy.He likes the idea of the toy, and the toy is made well and works pretty good.

It's hard to imagine a better daffodil show than the one that unfolds across Shelby White's 45-acre woodland estate in Lewisboro each spring.
Over the past quarter-century or so, hundreds of thousands of daffodil bulbs have been planted in fall, setting the stage for an April show that shimmers in lovely shades of yellow, white, salmon and orange.
One of our photographers, Liz Orozco, and I paid a visit last April to see the show and get photos. These are all by Liz.
Eric Schmidt, the head gardener at the White Garden, says there must be between 500,000 and 750,000 daffodils by now. He sometimes plants as many as 1,500 a day when the weather is nice in October.
Here's Eric in one of the two greenhouses. He grows most of the annuals from seed.
And on a tractor.
The bulbs have been planted in giant swaths of color along the woodchip-lined paths through the woods. Crumbling stone walls and fallen oak trees are now decorated with thousands of daffodils on either side.
"They absolutely love it here," Schmidt says. "I think it's going to be a really good year for them, with the cold winter and all that snow we had to blanket and protect them. Daffodils love a cold winter."
Each year, he extends the plantings a little farther into the woods and they now extend in all directions as far as you can see. The slightest breeze sets the whole hillside adrift in soft waves of color.
Along with the 250 varieties of daffodils, visitors to the White Garden will find two huge ponds with magnificent pure-white swans, a labyrinth, theater court and moss, pergola and rock gardens.
Statues of maidens and stone lions dot the landscape. It's widely regarded as one of the best private gardens in the Hudson Valley.
Gardeners in the know have learned that daffodils are one of the best plants for the Hudson Valley. First and foremost, they're poisonous, so deer and other critters leave them alone for the most part. Unlike fickle tulips, they come back every year and even naturalize and spread.
As sentinel flowers, emerging daffodils announce to the world that winter is really finally over, even if a surprise spring snowstorm hits.
Yes, they want full sun, but they bloom before the deciduous trees begin to leaf out, so you have more sunny sites for these bulbs than you realize.
White, a philanthropist and antiquities collector, and her late husband, Leon Levy, built the 3,000-square-foot neoclassical house on the site in 1996, and the surrounding, natural-style gardens were designed by Patrick Chassé in 1998.
Everything feels like it's been here for decades. The sleek swimming pool and glass-bottomed reflecting pool look particularly inviting.
So do the lush green lawns that sweep down to the ponds from the house.
Bouquets of daffodils look particularly good with other spring-blooming trees, shrubs and bulbs. In the White Garden, weeping pink cherry trees and white magnolias bloom in perfect sync with the fields of daffodils. One can hardly wait for the show of 10,000 tulips that unfolds just as the daffodils begin to lose their shine.
Planting tips
• Daffodils, like other spring-blooming bulbs, need several months of cold weather to set their blooms. Plant them in the fall; October is best, but you can plant them any time before the ground freezes for the winter.
• Like other bulbs, they look best when planted en mass. For some reason, odd-numbered groupings (5, 7, 9) are more pleasing to the eye than even-numbered clusters of flowers. For a real show-stopper, try digging a large hole and filling it with 25 bulbs.
• The planting hole should be about 8 inches deep; space the bulbs 2 to 3 inches apart. The pointy end of the bulb faces up.
• Daffodils are not fussy about soil as long as it's well drained.
• Feed them with a bulb fertilizer such as Bulb-tone after they bloom in spring and again in the fall.
• Let the foliage die back naturally when the blooms fade (it's still gathering energy for next year's blooms). You can hide the yellowing leaves by planting daffodils among later-emerging plants such as ferns and hostas.
• Mark or make note of where you've got daffodils while they're still in bloom because you'll surely forget where they are by the time fall comes round and you want to plant more bulbs.
Winning varieties
Among the hundreds of varieties of daffodils, here are a few surefire winners:
'Tete-a-Tete': an early bloomer that will come into flower as early as February in mild winters.
'Peeping Tom': another good early bloomer.
'King Alfred': an old-time favorite with big lemon-yellow flower heads.
'Jetfire': large golden-yellow flowers with a bright orange-red trumpet.
'Thalia': a creamy white and delicate late bloomer.
'Salome': another late bloomer with a salmon-pink trumpet.
'Mount Hood': a giant all-white variety.
Visiting the White Garden
Every April, Shelby White opens her Lewisboro garden to the public as part of the Garden Conservancy's Open Days Program. The nationwide program, which was founded by two Westchester gardeners in 1995, lets people see some of the best private gardens in the country for a $5 admission fee. This year, the White Garden will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 26 and Sept. 13. For more information, including directions, visit gardenconservancy.org/opendays/ or call 888-842-2442.

2007 Kia Optima Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2007 Kia Optima based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Check Engine Light illumination—combined with a lack of power or a stumble on acceleration—may be caused by the throttle position switch (TPS). Kia released an improved part which should correct this concern.
A defective AC compressor clutch assembly can cause excessive noise or vibration when the air conditioning is on. Improved parts are available. Replacing the faulty clutch assembly does not necessitate replacement of the complete AC compressor or evacuation and recharging of the air conditioning system.
Reprogramming the transmission control module with the latest Kia transmission software may fix abnormalities in the automatic transmission and erroneous transmission-related Check Engine Light illumination. Software updates are commonly most effective on newer vehicles. Higher mileage vehicles may exhibit a similar symptom caused by a component failure. However, whenever major transmission repairs are performed the transmission software should be checked and updated as necessary.
The Check Engine Light may erroneously illuminate, signifying a fault in the intake air temperature circuit. If no fault is found in the sensor or wiring, a simple reprogramming of the powertrain control module (PCM) may fix the problem.
A faulty door latch assembly may cause one or both front doors to be difficult to open. Replacing the worn latch will commonly correct this problem.
Timing belts can break prematurely and cause serious engine damage. When replacing a broken timing belt, the crankshaft position sensor should also be replaced as it most likely has suffered damage as well.
Make sure the transmission is filled with Kia-approved transmission fluid and at the correct level. Our technicians tell using incorrect transmission fluid or operating the transmission when it is low on fluid can result in internal transmission damage.

WATCH: Steve Perry joins The Eels for another show
Listen to Steve Perry on iHeartRadio | Listen to The Eels on iHeartRadio
Steve Perry is at it again. Billboard.com says the former Journey frontman joined The Eels for another show over the weekend, this time sitting in for a few songs at their concert in Washington, DC.
At Saturday's concert, Perry stepped up to sing an Eels song and a cover of Sam Cooke's "Only Sixteen" along with the Journey hits "Open Arms" and "Loving Touching Squeezing."
Perry previously made a guest appearance with The Eels in St. Paul, Minnesota on May 25th, marking the first time in nearly 20 years that he'd performed in public.
After that concert, The Eels' Mark Everett told Billboard he hoped Steve would play more shows with the group, but was "just glad it happened" once. Everett added that he'd never "press Steve" to sit in with The Eels again, explaining that in their relationship "Steve does what Steve does."

North Polar Layered Deposits in Summer
The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter acquired this image during its first day of test imaging from the spacecraft's low-altitude mapping orbit, Sept. 29, 2006.
This image of Mars' north polar layered deposits was taken during the summer season (solar longitude of 113.6 degrees), when carbon dioxide frost had evaporated from the surface. The bright spots seen here are most likely patches of water frost, but the location of the frost patches does not appear to controlled by topography. Layers are visible at the bottom of the image, mostly due to difference in slope between them. The variations in slope are probably caused by differences in the physical properties of the layers. Thinner layers that have previously been observed in these deposits are visible, and may represent annual deposition of water ice and dust that is thought to form the polar layered deposits. These deposits are thought to record global climate variations on Mars, similar to ice ages on Earth. HiRISE images such as this should allow Mars' climate record to be inferred and compared with climate changes on Earth.
Image TRA_000825_2665 was taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft on September 29, 2006. Shown here is the full image, centered at 86.5 degree latitude, 172.0 degrees east longitude. The image is oriented such that north is to the top. The range to the target site was 298.9 kilometers (186.8 miles). At this distance the image scale is 59.8 centimeters (23.5 inches) per pixel (with two-by-two binning} so objects about 1.79 meters (70 inches) across are resolved. In total the original image was 12.2 kilometers 7.58 mile; 10024 pixels) wide and 6.1 kilometers (3.79 miles; 5000 pixels) long. The image was taken at a local Mars time of 3:30 PM and the scene is illuminated from the southwest with a solar incidence angle of 63.5 degrees, thus the sun was about 26.5 degrees above the horizon.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems is the prime contractor for the project and built the spacecraft. The HiRISE camera was built by Ball Aerospace Corporation and is operated by the University of Arizona.

Spooky Scootin'Tuesday, October 31st, 2006
Weather: Cold, dark, and scary.
Emily-Witch abandons her broom for Scarlet's comfy saddle.
The night-vision feature on my camera really comes in handy on a night like this…
Tonight is the coldest Halloween we've had since Emily started Trick-or-Treating. It's 34°F outside, which translates to 1° Celsius, and my daughter gamely insisted on wearing her witch costume with only long-johns underneath. We posed the photo above, and then went off with all the other neighborhood goblins in search of candy and mischief.
We made it a whole block before she asked me to hold her pointed hat. It kept fouling her earmuffs. A block later, she finally agreed to put on the fluffy pink winter jacket I was carrying for her, abandoning any pretense of scariness. After three blocks, she asked me to carry her goody bag, as it had become heavy with loot. We stopped off at the house and emptied her take into a large bowl, the better to go out and get some more.
Greedy little ghoul…
Here's a shot taken with the flash, so you can see how scary she looked to the local villagers. Of course, they emptied their pantries at the mere sight of her, so terrifying was her countenance.
"I'll get you, my pretty, and your little scoot too!"
Scarlet O'Baron is wired for heat, wearing her snow-tires, and ready for Winter. On our way home from work tonight, we slashed through traffic like Freddy Krueger taking a stroll down Elm Street. The poor old SUVs didn't stand a chance, they were lambs to the slaughter.
Here's something strange, however… I haven't seen the Mysterious Red KLR Guy in a long, long time. But there's this fellow on a modern black scooter, dressed in black Aerostich gear just like the M.R.K.G., and he rides the same route at the same time every day. We wave at each other, just like I did with the M.R.K.G., and I can only come to the conclusion that these are one-and-the-same rider.
Unfortunately, whenever I encounter him, I've always got someplace to get to, and a timetable to keep. But one of these days, I'm going to turn around and chase him down, to establish his identity once and for all. He rides a KLR, and now, maybe he commutes by scooter too. We have way too much in common for us not to be friends.
Unless he is my doppelgänger, of course.
From Merriam Webster Online:
Main Entry: dop·pel·gäng·er
Function: noun
Etymology: German Doppelgänger, from doppel- double + -gänger goer
1 : a ghostly counterpart of a living person
Imagine if I did catch up to him, and he removed his helmet, and he looked just like me!
Now, wouldn't that be spooky?

Fuel Saving Tips
Since 2002, fuel costs have increased approximately 220%. The tips below can help improve your fuel mileage and put money back into your pocket, while helping the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from your vehicle's exhaust.
- Routine vehicle maintenance is critical to keeping your vehicle fuel efficient. A well maintained vehicle will use less fuel and also eliminate excessive polluting emissions from the tailpipe. Remember to schedule your vehicle for regular maintenance.
- Keep your tires properly inflated. An under-inflated tire can cause as much as a 2 MPG decrease in fuel economy.
- Empty your trunk: Carrying unnecessary weight in your vehicle will decrease your fuel efficiency.
- Drive smoothly: Accelerate gradually and avoid aggressive driving habits. Anticipate stops to avoid sudden braking. Whenever possible, coast to stops when you see traffic stopped.
- Plan your trips: Avoid unnecessary travel and attempt to schedule travel during non-congested times of the day.
- Eliminate idle time: if idling longer than 10 seconds, except in traffic, turn the engine off. More than 10 seconds will use more fuel than shutting the engine off and restarting it again. Idling a vehicle 10 minutes per day can consume as much as 26 gallons of fuel a year. Avoid the drive through at the restaurant, bank, or anywhere else. If you are waiting for someone, turn the engine off.
- Vehicles warm up better if started and immediately driven. An engine with a computer system needs a maximum of 30 seconds before being put into motion. Other parts, such as wheel bearings, steering, suspension, transmission and tires all need to warm up while the engine is getting warm. The only way to warm all of these components is to get the vehicle moving immediately after starting the engine. This will create a better warm up situation and less wear on all components. But remember; avoid a heavy foot on the accelerator during this warm-up period.
- Always avoid speeding: this can decrease fuel economy by as much as 15%. A speed of 5 MPH over 60 is like adding a dime to the cost of a gallon of fuel.
- Use the air conditioning only when necessary. When the air conditioning compressor is on, extra fuel is burned in the engine to create the power to drive the compressor. This decreases the fuel economy of the engine.
- Short trips do not allow the engine to warm up properly, increasing fuel consumption as well as increasing exhaust emission output.
- Avoid driving "two-footed": when resting your left foot on the brake pedal, the pressure will cause the brakes to gently apply, causing friction at the brakes and holding back the vehicle. This increases the fuel consumption, as well as causing the brakes to wear out quicker.
- Always give yourself plenty of time to get to where you are going. Racing against the clock causes quick accelerations, hard braking and driving too fast, all of which burn fuel needlessly.
- Share a ride whenever possible: this will decrease fuel consumption as well as making the trip more pleasant when accompanied by another person.

I am doing some research on where to get my breast pump when the time comes to order but have been hitting brick walls in terms of suppliers. I contacted my insurance and they pointed me in the direction of Byram Healthcare. I am having a lot of trouble contacting them on the phone and they do not show what types of breast pumps they carry on their website. Any moms out there who got their pump through Byram have any helpful info?? Also, I have United Heathcare if that makes any difference!
Because of the lack of information I was able to obtain throught websites and with little to no help from the insurance company, it took me 3 days to find all the information found here. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions not answered here, I might be able to point you in the right direction!

But things had been unraveling ever since the Davis shooting.
But Davis argues that Britain did so only when it realized it served its "national honor."
Llewyn used to be in a singing duo that went by the stage name Tiplin & Davis, but his partner, Mike, committed suicide.
Shortly after 10 p.m. the high court refused to block the execution, and Davis was sent to the execution chamber.
When the company he was working with turned into a Christian title, Davis set out on his own.
Miss Davis will show you the ropes before she leaves on the first of October.
He had a talk with the party managers, and he had another with Judge Davis.
No, boy, mind yourself way from here now, I got to hunt up dat tune for Miss Davis.
Oh, Davis guessed ye had the boy—the wee Johnnie he loved like a father.
When the door closed after him, Annesley Beecher walked the room, discussing with himself the meaning of Davis's late words.

Executive MBA
Executive MBA is an intensive, effective and complete MBA, not in any sense less than its full time counterpart.
In terms of structure, EMBA programs simultaneously resemble part-time and modular programs. Classes are usually held on Fridays and Saturdays. Executive MBAs require long periods of residential work, known as "modules", and foreign field trips.
Programme Curriculum:
The content and scheduling are quite often different from the traditional full-time MBAs, as the EMBA is designed for the professional needs of senior, working managers. The level of coursework differs from full-time MBAs due to:
- A broad range of courses
- Courses which are more condensed
Team learning is an integral part of EMBA programs. Students might work in teams so that a strong sense of camaraderie is established. EMBA programmes generally have a strong focus on team-based learning and participants learning from each other. Case studies are employed in such a way that they become a platform for discussion. Much care is taken when EMBA teams are put together. The aim is to create as diverse a culture and work experience as possible.
The EMBA is increasingly used to strengthen alliances among business schools. This gives you an excellent opportunity to have residential modules at various universities in different countries. Generally, these programs are called Global Executive MBAs. For instance, ESCP-EAP European School of Management is a highly international school with campuses in Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid, and Turin.
- Increased earning power
- Contact with leading business academics
- Immediate application of acquired knowledge
- Sharing experience with senior, highly experienced executives
- No need to give up your current employment
- Increase in long-term potential through the development of skills and abilities
- EMBAs may differ significantly from mainstream MBA programs. Some argue the EMBA is an intensive executive education.
- EMBA is the most challenging MBA program because it encompasses important aspects of your life such as a full-time job, travelling, and a great deal of independent study.
From 12 to 29 months
25,000 to 100,000 euros
Admissions requirements:
The same requirements as for the full-time MBA except that you need at least 7 years of work experience in a managerial position. GMAT scores are not necessarily required.
Employer sponsorship:
69 percent of students are sponsored by their employers worldwide; 73 percent in Europe, 66 percent in North America, 67 percent in Asia and Australia. ( "Which MBA" 2005,)

What do you listen to before a session?

What do you listen to before a session?
Just about anything that makes me feel good. When I feel good, I feel confident and surf better. I try to avoid anything negative as it puts me in a bad mood and tenses me up. Most of the time, these good songs come in the form of some funky club music.
I haven't been out in some time (the water is a little chilly brrr), I start out with my daily meditation "flowdreaming" for a positive flow by Summer McStravick then whatever music feels good, R.E.M. at my most beautiful (should I admit this everyone I know makes a weird face when I say REM?)-Cake short skirt long jacket -maybe some Jack Johnson it reminds me of "thicker than water" which helps me feel cool. I like to keep it happy so the day works out very sweetly! By the way Happy Thanksgiving!
jack johnson...
Anything chilled,
if you're longboarding, beach boys get you in the zone...
bob marley too
im really not a huge rap fan but i do on occasion like to listen to rap with a good beat and cool badass lyrics to get me pumped other than that give me a good rock band with good breakdowns.
Depends on my mood, ands the conditions of the waves. If I know it is going to be small and mushy ( most of the time around me) I listen to more "Surfish" mellow music, like Jack Jhonson, Donivan, Bob Marley, Pepper and so on. If the Waves are pumping I break out the goods. Like Barry Mannilow, and Prince LMAO!!! Toatally just kidding on those 2 LOL. Seriously though , stuff like Deftones, Killswitch Engage, Godsmack, Incubus ( Favorite things, and certain shade of green are serious adrinalin pumps), Pantera, etc.
I listen to the rhythm of the waves
slightly stoopid, sublime, ub40, bad brains. NOFX, or LTJ if you are trying to thrash
i like to listen to bloc party , MIA, or some ghostface kllr..
Bloc Party is definatly a good choice
but i think it depends on the type of surf. Big surf requries louder, heavier music (system of a down, 3 days grace, rob zombie.) Average surf and clean conditions stuff like bloc party, less than jake, blink 182, sum 41
And if it's small, the chill music. Jack Johnson, slighty stoopid, bob marley, beach boys.

LONG BEACH - A hosted system to administer parking citations and collect fines could initially cost $600,000 and take until September of next year to be fully operational, according to city Director of Financial Management John Gross.
The estimate, delivered to the City Council on Tuesday, comes after an audit released last week showed that almost $18 million in parking fines have gone unpaid in the past three years.
The report by City Auditor Laura Doud traced problems in the collections to a 12-year-old software system that has few automated processes and no connection to Department of Motor Vehicles databases to keep current car registration information up-to-date.
Doud's request to implement a new system, which Gross speculated could boost citation revenue by as much as $3 million if combined with aggressive collection efforts, was well-received by the council.
"To invest hundreds of thousands of dollars to save millions is good return," said Councilman Gary DeLong.
However, DeLong urged city staff to find interim solutions until the long-term solution is identified.
The city currently collects about 70 percent of its parking fines on about 345,000 citations processed each year, Doud said. Revenues from tickets totaled about $13 million in 2011.
Last week, Doud said Commercial Services Bureau staff, which handles citation processing, completed a labor-intensive purge of old data on fines now considered uncollectible due to state law that limits towing of noncompliant transgressors to within five years of an offense.
Gross said the city hasn't aggressively pursued its parking debts because of the system's deficiencies. An examination of 200 serial offender records made during the audit found that 86 percent didn't have current registration information.
"We did not want to create false problems (that) impact people's credit reports when we had data problems," Gross said.
Also on Tuesday, the council voted 9-0 to commission an independent actuary to study potential cost savings if nonpublic safety employee pension benefits were lowered.
Currently, employees receive 2.5 percent of salary for each year worked and can retire at age 55. The actuary would report on the effects of lowering the benefit to 1.5 percent of salary per year with retirement at age 65.
Additional pension cost-sharing between employees and the city would also be studied.
The subjects are hypothetical because present law doesn't allow changing existing benefits.
