MPS Launches Industry's First Monolithic 900V ACDC Switching Regulator Family
Mar 19, 2014, 07:00 ET from Monolithic Power Systems, Inc.
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) (Nasdaq: MPWR), a leading fabless manufacturer of high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, announced today the release of MP110, the industry's first monolithic 900V flyback regulator that is designed specifically for electronic meters, supporting wireless communication. MP110 offers three important facets of MPS ACDC products; robustness, ease-of-use, and smart home and building compatibility.
MP110 is the first product introduced in the family that features the robust performance of MPS 900V proprietary process technology which is highly suitable for ACDC power supplies requiring high reliability. In addition to a low ohmic switching FET that supports over 8W of output power, the technology also features a rugged 900V start up depletion FET for low no load power dissipation. This 900V monolithic integrated solution enables an over temperature protection (OTP) that is on the same silicon of the 900V power FET, offering the most precise thermal protection. It also offers a full suite of protection features.
MP110 ease-of-use offers the overall lowest solution cost with minimal external components. The integration of the 900V switching FET and its proprietary switching characteristic simplifies the power stage design. The optimized internal leading edge blanking along with built-in soft start further simplifies the design and lowers component count.
The MP110 is designed to minimize electromagnetic interference for wireless communication in home and building automation applications. The operating frequency is externally programmed with a single resistor so that the power supply's radiated energy can be designed to avoid the wireless frequency transmission. Nearly all ACDC power supplies in the future will supply power to wirelessly enabled products. MP110 is an additional MPS product that enables the growing "internet of things".
Though MP110 is designed specifically for smart meter applications, its features are highly suitable for any ACDC application that requires high reliability. These applications include large appliances, medical, industrial controls, and any product that is sold where the power grid is not stable. "I am extremely excited about our first ACDC product in this 900V family and the positive feedback from our customers looking to provide the highest reliable ACDC power solution," explained John Wiggenhorn, Director of ACDC Products at MPS.

I am sorry, but I can not use views. They can be updatable - yes. But they are (in MySQL which we are using) not insertable (reffering to Multi-Table-Views, whenever you want to insert into more than one table at once) There are just to many restrictions to be able to build a seperation-layer with views. I would really wish I could just use them and change nothing at the application at all. But they only do half the job. In reply to Re^2: Search for ORM with Multi-Table-Object Support

Ask any nurse for stories about dealing with doctors, and you will hear that American hospitals and other health care institutions have a long way to go before civility and teamwork rule the day. Why is that a malpractice prevention issue?
Nurses have a vital role as a check and balance to catch mistakes and oversights by doctors that could lead to tragic malpractice injuries. But a typical example, when a nurse quietly questions a doctor's order for a medication that the nurse doesn't think appropriate, is to hear the doctor say: "When you get an MD after your name, you can question what I order."

text: British Media Regulator Investigating Misuse of Video Game Footage As "Secret IRA Terrorism Footage"Brian Crecente10/10/11 10:00amFiled to: ARMAArma IIDocumentaryIraMuammar GaddafiTVTop451EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink British communications regulator Ofcom is investigating how a UK documentary examining possible connections between Muammar Gaddafi and the IRA confused video game play for actual IRA footage of a helicopter being shot down. Advertisement Ofcom received dozens of complaints about the misstep and they are investigating to see whether the incident should be considered a breach of its broadcasting code.In the documentary Exposure - Gaddafi and the IRA, aired last month in the U.K., a voice can be heard saying, "With Gaddafi's heavy machine guns it was possible to shoot down a helicopter as the terrorists own footage of 1988 shows." Advertisement On the screen viewers witness shaky footage of what appears to be a heavy machine gun mounted into the bed of a camouflage-painted pick-up truck. The words IRA film 1988 are displayed over the video. In the footage, viewers see a group of men in balaclavas standing around the vehicles as it fires at a distant helicopter.The footage, described as secret footage captured by the IRA in 1988, was actually gameplay from ARMA 2.At the time an ITV spokesman told Kotaku that while the events featured in the show were genuine, the footage use was a mistake. "It would appear that during the editing process the correct clip of the 1988 incident was not selected and other footage was mistakenly included in the film by producers," they said. "This was an unfortunate case of human error for which we apologise." Advertisement Sponsored The spokesman added that ITV does hold the real footage and plans to replace it in the documentary. While the documentary has since been removed from ITV's website, that real footage has yet to be broadcast.Marek Spanel, CEO of Bohemia Interactive, told Kotaku at the time that he was surprised to see his game in a documentary. "It is very weird to see our game used this way especially considering the journalists were simply unable to tell difference between reality and game footage and described a short film clearly made using our game Arma II with what they call real IRA footage from 1988," he said. "Our games offer a great level of freedom to our users to create all kind of things but in this particular case, it is very misleading. Plus it is surprising ITV did not seek for permission to use our game in this way."Ofcom Broadcast Bulletin: Investigations List (PDF) [Ofcom]You can contact Brian Crecente, the author of this post, at email@example.com.

I LOVE this fragrance and this is among the first of my wardrobe when I started to really build a fragrance collection. I love the smell of ginger and wanted something sparkly, refreshing, bright and energizing. I read the reviews on here and this sounded like exactly what I wanted. Luckily the mall near here actually DOES have this fragrance (a little short on choices here) and tried it out and took it home. I also have a ginger lotion that from Origins that goes well with it and helps the longevity and I have also used Jo Malones' ginger and nutmeg body lotion with it and that also helps. Because the one complaint I have about it is that it only lasts about 3-4 hours on me. But this is enough to get me thorough my morning or a summer evening out. You do really have to like ginger though to really enjoy this. But it is a bright, fresh, happy ginger, and fairly linear. It is the star and that is the reason I love it.
I ADORE this perfume. Had it years ago and will definitely get it again. It is fresh, vital and haunting. If you love ginger you'll like this fragrance.
Bubbly, fizzy, citrusy, spiced, hot, sweet, tarty, cooling...Ginger Essence is simple, and yet, very complex. It is like a mixture of all the good things. Cheerful and innocent, it makes me to think about the Coke, which, like GE, is sweet, and yet spicy, tangy and refreshing. It is like a shot of hapiness, well-being and optimism in a bottle. Perfect for gloomy days, like this one. For me, this works more like an aromatherapeutic product rather than a cologne or perfume. Very recommendable, although I find it to be seriously overpriced.
I love Ginger Essence. It's a very simple fragrance and it lasts a long time too. I like any frag with ginger in it. Origin's Ginger Essence is a perfect summer scent and you can spray a lot and it's never overpowering. If a fragrance had a mood this could be happy.
I went shopping at my local grocery store, and used the wipes they had at the door to disinfect my cart handles. The wipes had an awesome ginger scent that I couldn't get out of my head. It reminded me of the ginger scrub I had once gotten from the Origins shop nearby, so I popped in hoping it came in a perfume. And it did. It smelled great from the tester.
Although I'm usually not an impulsive buyer, I really craved a ginger scent so I came home with one. It smells like freshly grated ginger, linear but soothingly so. Most likely I will only wear this in the fall and winter since I don't enjoy spicy scents in warm weather. Sillage is good, but ephemeral. I basically wear this scent at home, so I don't mind reapplying.
Wonderful fresh ginger scent that smells of coca cola but sillage is minimal and logevity is non existent. Maybe about 10 minutes...
J'adore this fragrance, but on me it only seems to last about 10 minutes. The sillage seems to be nonexistent. It would be the perfect summer fragrance if only it lasted longer.
I'm a child of the '70s, and as a teen was very fond of a hugely-selling drugstore scent, Love's Fresh Lemon. It was a clean citrusy cologne, but had undertones of ginger (at least on me) and bergamot, and would actually last the better part of a day. When I spritz Ginger Essence, it transports me back...
One of the reviewers commented that she used it in her bathroom, and it made the room feel like a spa--I do that, too!
Fun and gingery crisp, citrus with a hint of floral. It is not complex or moody, just a fresh blast of citrus softened by ginger. Simple and refreshing just as it is. Nice.
the lovely signature fragrance of one of my dear friends. this is how i first smelled it.
if it wasn't hers, and i didn't have a long list of other (pricey!) perfumes i want, i'd have it in a second.
so few perfumes so accurately and daringly choose to take on the unadulterated scent of ginger. many find the scent strong and assaulting, which i guess is why, but i think it is super sensual and intoxicating. this smells a couple hours after you cut open a fresh piece of ginger and rub it on your wrists. this is one of the only perfumes i've found that's done it right, and not tried to water down the scent with equally strong scents. i wonder how demeter's ginger scent holds up to this.
Love it! Short to medium longevity which means NATURAL! Awakening and Euphoric scent!
Ginger Essence is a fun and effervescent perfume that is perfect for warm weather. On my skin its a warm, softly spicy scent with a hint of indistinct florality in the dry down which also seems to have ambroxan as a base note. Its warmer and rounder than the listed notes suggest because of this softer base. Radiant and completely wearable, the only downside is the lack of longevity-- 2 hours at most on my skin.
On a side note, this smells very close to the scent of the Benefit brand blush named Dandelion.
I LOVE this stuff, but it only last about 1 minute on me :-( at first it smells like a fizzy ginger soda but IF u can catch anything lingering on you after 10 minutes, then all the ginger is gone and I only smell Orange Blossoms or Neroli. If it lasted long, had great projection and smelled just like fizzy ginger then I would love to buy it.
I like the fact that this fragrance is really refreshing. It has the same sparkly, fizzy smell as a glass of ginger ale. Others often enjoy the way it smells; it's spicy and unusual. My only complaint is that it doesn't project as much as I would like. A little does not go a long way in this case... I try to apply this one somewhat liberally, or else it's more like wearing a body spray, as Englishrose mentioned below. Putting it on your clothes could also help it to last longer. If I put it on in the morning, I can usually catch a whiff or two in the early evening.
This is a delicious, light fragrance. Unfortunately, I have been completely spoiled by Jo Malone's incredible Nutmeg and Ginger cologne , bath oil and body cream, which have all of the positive clean spicy qualities of this scent, but with a much greater intensity and depth. I purchased both fragrances at approximately the same time , and immediately fell in love with Jo Malone's Nutmeg and Ginger. It's a scrumptious, fresh , warm and comforting fragrance , and it lasts all day on me. I find that Origins Ginger Essence is a much lighter and much more lemony/gingery fragrance, almost like a body spray rather than a cologne. It is much more fleeting and insubstantial, and will probably work perfectly in the warm summer months. For the fall and winter, I definitely prefer Jo Malone's Nutmeg and Ginger, which I absolutely love. It outclasses this fragrance by a mile. But that doesn't mean Ginger Essence doesn't deserve a spot in my collection. It's a sparkling, effervescent lovely summer fragrance that will be perfect on hot summer days when I want something light and refreshing to wear. A very nice fragrance, and definitely worh buying if you like clean, spicy, gingery scents, as I do.
This is an easy fragrance for me to wear for everyday. Non-offensive, dries down warm and citrusy on my skin. Has medium staying power. Doesn't project too far, so I can wear it and enjoy it without having to worry about offending anyone around me.
I wore this years ago when I worked as a massage therapist and needed a scent that smelled natural. Now I question that thought since this is definitely not a relaxing smell! Anyway, very fresh, effervescent, juicy, refreshing. I liked it a lot, but for some reason was insecure about wearing it.
Like if someone got a whiff and didn't know it was ginger, they would think I stunk. Silly? Probably. Haven't worn it since though.
I love this. It's a bit like lush's ginger but has a bit more floral underneath so I find it a bit more sophisticated and wearable but still with all the ginger tones.
Smells like coke bottle lollies and summer parties and fresh, crisp mornings.
This is citrusy happiness in a bottle for me.
I found this in my perfume wardrobe today, a really hot day in England. For days I haven't been able to wear any perfume, as I've been feeling like everything is too much, too strong, too loud. But this!
What a little gem this is, lemony, gingery, a real tonic! Zingy without being too citrusy and sharp! Very sunny, a bit like a cologne.
Perfect to spray on after a shower in the summer. Sillage is ok, lasting power leaves much to ask, but it's part of it's charm for me. On me, the bergamot really comes out after an hour or two, and leaves a quite dry scent of that and ginger.
I wanted this to smell like the lotion and unfortunately it just doesn't. It's much less citrus-y to me. It has absolutely 0 staying power on me, and I'm not usually one to complain about it but honestly it's probably the worst I own. I will put about 15 sprays on me and by the time I'm out the door, it's gone already. I wouldn't buy this again, for sure.
Pretty and certainly gingery, but fleeting.
This has a particular place in my collection though, becuase it works just like ginger tea for me - that is, is stops me feeling nauseated! So if I'm a bit queasy this is the one I reach for.
Wonder if it would work well on a long sea voyage?
I like this fragrance because its fresh, zingy and citrussy without being sharp. Perfect for summer. On my skin, the smell is soft, warming and comforting but doesn't seem to last long - the pleasure is soon over. I wish they made an EDP version.
I have a confession to make, even though I like this fragrance a lot, for some reason my boyfriend does not. So, I use it throughout my home as a room fragrance.
It reminds me of the smell of an expensive spa, so I use it in my bathroom, and the result is wonderful, my visitors always comment on how lovely my home smells!
Effervescent gingery joy. Too bad I purchased the rollerball, though--fragrance is completely gone by the time I get to work.
This perfume is fresh and smells like ginger lemon and loads of sugar. The dry down is particularly sugary, which feels a bit cloying. I have only acquired this recently but I can swear I have smelt it many many times on other people on the train. It is fresh and if you love the smell of ginger, you would love it. I wish the dry down was a little less sweet thought.
This smells very foody-sweet to me, like ginger syrup or gingerbread, as opposed to a more exotic gingery floral scent. It's not for me.
Incredible - Men and women give me compliments often! It has been my staple for years. My husband loves it!!! My kids even say something nice when I wear it. I enjoy the crisp and clean feeling when I wear it. I love ginger with the citrus. I layer Ginger Rush lotion for some warm spicy depth.I wore White Linen in my teens. I like crisp citrus, subtle white florals with a touch of spicy or a dry wood. I also love bergamot. Ginger Essence does not give me a headache like most scents. There is an "Intensified" version of this fragrance that last longer. It works well yet does not last long.
Top Notes-Bergamot, Orange, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime .
Middle Notes-Ginger, Nutmeg, Clove, Coriander, Violet Leaves, Jasmine .
Base Notes-Vanilla, Amber, Sandalwood.
this cold weather scent is wonderful for not sexy fun. any ideas on one with some jasmine and tobacco?
@Soutty123: Exactly! This is my go-to-scent when I'm fed up with other fragrances and my nose needs a rest, just as you said. It smells softly as if you put a cooking pot on the stove making fresh ginger water. Clean and fresh and perfect for hot muggy summer days. And fortunately this scent is not ruined by any citrus fruit as usual. It's one of my absolute favourites though lasting on my skin could be better. Funny: After a long day of work I don't smell any of it on my skin. But when I go taking a shower and the hot water hits me the complete bathrooms fills with mild ginger scent ;-)
This feels more like a treatment scent than a fragrance as such. The sort of scent that's nice to wear when your nose needs a rest. Very fresh, a nice scent to put on after a bath or shower in the evening - not for a night out - but just to relax.
Ginger Essence smells like lemon iced tea with a splash of sweet ginger. While not listed in its notes, there is a distinct cardamom note at the base of this scent, furthering the tea/chai associations for me.
Extremely refreshing, this scent it perfect for the summer and for when I'm feeling a bit nauseated or headachey due to the meds I'm on. I imagine this would be great for pregnant women, or for people who are sensitive to perfumes. This is the kind of scent where it's impossible to spray on too much, which is wonderful because I like to mist this all over and occasionally into the air around me.
Unfortunately, the lasting power of this perfume is decidedly weak and fades extremely quickly. I'm considering buying the rollerball for touch-ups but the cost is a major deterrent right now.
If you're wondering what the difference is between this and the Intense version, I was told that the Intense doesn't have as much of the citrus, and it has a longer staying power. Knowing that, I still went with this one because I was looking for something light. I'm extremely pleased with this, and have been wearing it non-stop since I bought it!
Why so expensive? I have/had 2 rollerballs and they have been wonderful! But i dont remember payin like 35 bucks each for them. I dont know. I used this stuff in my purse for headaches, bug bites, hand sanitizer, a quick pick me up... Now im looking for a fresh ginger fragrance and it is like 80 bucks a bottle! Dang it!
I recently sampled this at the airport. I really loved the spicy ginger with softer lemon undertones. Fresh, yet spicy and ideal for those who do not like the herby or oceanic summer frags. A serious competitor to my Clarins Dynamisite, which I currently use as a 'pick me up' on tired mornings. Also love the natural/organic element from this brand, which I find especially appealing when it comes to frags I'm more likely to wear in the sun. Another one for my shopping list!
I love this perfume. It's fresh crisp and spicy all at once! On me it gets quite sweet actually, adding another dimension of complexity. I find it wonderful for layering, or alone on hot days. It's easy on the nose, and not synthetic or headache inducing at all; quite high quality. I could never do without this stuff! Never stop making this miracle juice Origins, I could never find another lovely natural perfume to substitute for it!
I love this! It's simple, straightforward and very uplifting. If you like ginger, you'll love this! It is *very* ginger, fizzy and piquant, but smooth and sweetened rather than bitter and herbal, with just the right amount of citrus to brighten it up. This is a comfort scent for me, it's so warm and sunny.
I love love love this fragrance, it's really uplifting. Believe me, no-one would hate this kind, nice humble and pleasurable fragrance. It's not too aroma not too spicy but really sweet spices and not boring at all. I just found out its scent of Origin Ginger = Earl gray tea+Mint leaves of Jo Malone in term of uplifting feeling. I love them both but Origin is much more valuable.
To whom that like this fragrance and really want to have more intense power GOOD NEWS, Origin has just release (Nov/2011)intense formula calls "Ginger Essence Intensified fragrance" the same flacon but changed the cap to silver. I am look arround in my area to own it soon.
FRAGRANTICA... please add into new data base too...Thanks
This is a very clean and uplifting fragrance for me. The only problem is that it leaves so quickly. I find myself re applying after about an hour. Wonderful, refreshing scent to revive one's senses of peace and joy ~ Strong 'ginger' spritz.
it is gorgeous and my favorite summer scent - but unfortunately it doesn´t last on me...if there was an edp i would definitely go for it!!!
It begins with a fresh blast of ginger and nicely balanced citruses, and maintains those notes throughout. As it dries down a hint of a sweet tea emerges alongside the ginger/citrus notes slightly softening the scent. It is fresh and invigorating yet manages to also be sweet and comforting. Like sipping on a sweet ginger lemon iced tea in the warm sun. A fabulous and very natural smelling ginger perfume. If you are a fan of fresh ginger scents I highly recommend this. I agree that this scent usually does draw compliments from men.
Sillage is good, very long lasting as well.
I love, love, love this! It's probably not for everyone, but it suits me perfectly. I have received tons of compliemts on it and men seem to love it more than anything else I wear.
I have to be in the mood for this but when I am, it is gorgeous. Sweet ginger and citrus. Its longevity is good, it lasts all day. Some will say its a summer fragrance but I find it quite a comforting scent and most often wear it in Autumn and Winter. It's also surprisingly a little bit sexy but not in a big, loud, in your face way. For those who like natural scents, maybe Jo Malone fragrances - try it. I'm on my second bottle and I can't say that about many fragrances.

Seems to work just about like the factory pads.
EBC MX-S Brake Pads
Write your review and you'll automatically be entered in our monthly drawing. Include an image or video to DOUBLE your chances to win!
Write Your ReviewGreat pads that work well and last a good time. Bonus that most come with the brake pin in the kit.
Been riding on these for a couple of weeks now. Cant complain about their performance in the dirt, and supermoto racing they seem alright though there can be a bit of fade.
Overall I would definitely buy them again for my motocross bike.
work well ,less pull on lever and better modulation. a bit noisy.
These pads worked great for the track. but in the tight woods they over heat, and become insta-stops. as soon as they over heat they begin to squawk when applied. the up side is that the sound makes you sound fast.
Good stopping power especially on an oversized rotor. But they do they do squeak, and seem not to bind or hang up like cheaper pads.
Good quality brakes, shipping was fast. Easy installation, was back on the trails the same day the package arrived at my door step.
The EBC MX-S were a direct fit even comes with replacement pin for the front .
They have bite and look great .
I replaced the OEM Brembo brand pads in my KTM EXC with these. The fit and finish is good but, even after careful bedding, these pads never had the same bite as the OEM pads. I replaced them with Dunlop DP pads which are equal in performance to the Brembo pad. I was also running 'red' EBC pads in my street bike and they were even more disappointing. I have been consistently disappointed with the friction performance of EBC products and will not buy them again.
I replaced my worn oem pads with these. Great pads paired with 270mm driven rotor.
These break pads are amazing. They stop in a dime and don't wear out to quickly like other pads. They fit perfectly and the gold color to them make them stand out! Overall a great brake pad for the money!
These EBC rear brake pads are awesome for my Kawasaki KX250 2-stroke! New pins are included too!! Fast shipping, superior quality pads and MotoSports great prices!! Love it!! Thanks!
These pads stop way better than stock. They make more noise than stock because they are sintered metallic, but who cares because they are on a dirt bike. The main thing is that they stop way better and work great in all conditions.
I was not happy with how these pads fit. I had to sand them down to keep the rear brake from dragging while free wheeling. After my first ride they started making noise and still tend to drag. I will go back to stock brakes very soon.
great stopping power. no noise.
clean no dust. great stopping power
Strongest brakes I've ever had! They will lock up the rear tire so easily but then if you don't want to slide they wont! Very predictable, great feel and they hardley wear!
They went right on without a problem and are so strong! I cant stop in half the time now which is a lot safer! They are with out a doubt worth the price and last for ever. I ride in mud and sand and race hare scramble and they have barley worn
want a pad that grips hard no matter the conditions? get this! even comes with a sticker and new pin! 06 crf250r
Nice replacement no difficulties installing just plug and play, good feel and very predictable stopping.

Brad Pitt Is Ready to Mend His Relationship With Angelina Jolie for the Sake of Their Kids
- 10:58 AM, Mar 27
Christine Lucas [Nicole Kidman] wakes every day frightened and confused. She's sleeping next to a man who says he's her husband in a home he tells her is theirs, but none of this is familiar to her. She thinks she is a single woman in her 20s when, in actuality, she is a 40-year-old married woman. Christine suffers from psychogenic amnesia, as the result of a traumatic accident, and remembers nothing from her recent past - not the accident itself, nor her marriage to her husband Ben [Colin Firth].
Each day, Ben must introduce himself to her and explain their life together. He tells her she had a car accident years ago and lost her memory because of it. She can store up information throughout the day, but each night as she sleeps, everything she has learned about herself, her life and what caused her condition is erased from her memory.
One day, Christine receives a phone call from Dr. Nasch [Mark Strong], a neuropsychologist specializing in her condition, who tells her they have been working with one another - without Ben's knowledge - to help her regain her memory. He explains that she was the victim of no ordinary accident, but rather a violent attack after which she was left for dead. Dr. Nasch provides Christine with a digital camera and tasks her to record daily messages with information she learns about her past.
As she pieces together her video diary entries, terrifying new truths emerge that force her to question everything she thinks she knows about her life, as well as everyone in it: Is Ben telling the truth about what happened? What are Dr. Nasch's true intentions? What secrets have I been keeping? Who attacked me that night? And her existence shapes itself around a bigger question - who can she trust? - in this suspenseful thriller based on the worldwide best-selling novel by S.J. Watson.

Alstonia (devil tree) consists of about 40-60 species (according to different authors), native to tropical and subtropical Africa, Central America, southeast Asia, Polynesia and Australia, with most species in the Malesian region.
These trees can grow very large, such as Alstonia pneumatophora, recorded with a height of 60 m and a diameter of more than 2 m. Alstonia longifolia is the only species growing in Central America (mainly shrubs, but also trees 20 m high).
The leathery, sessile, simple leaves are elliptical, ovate, linear or lanceolate and wedge-shaped at the base. The leaf blade is dorsiventral, medium-sized to large and disposed oppositely or in a whorl and with entire margin. The leaf venation is pinnate, with numerous veins ending in a marginal vein.
Alstonia scholaris in Hyderabad, India.
The inflorescence is terminal or axillary, consisting of thyrsiform cymes or compound umbels. The small, more or less fragrant flowers are white, yellow, pink or green and funnel-shaped, growing on a pedicel and subtended by bracts. They consist of 5 petals and 5 sepals, arranged in four whorls.
The fertile flowers are hermaphrodite. The gamosepalous green sepals consist of ovate lobes, and are distributed in one whorl. The annular disk is hypogynous. The five gamesepalous petals have oblong or ovate lobes and are disposed in one whorl. The corolla lobes overlapping to the left (such as A. rostrata) or to the right (such as A. macrophylla) in the bud. The ovary has 2 separate follicles with glabrous or ciliate, oblong seeds that develop into deep blue podlike, schizocarp fruit, between 7-40 cm long. The plants contain a milky sap, rich in poisonous alkaloids. The Alstonia macrophylla is commonly known in Sri Lanka as 'Havari nuga' or the 'wig banyan' because of its distinct flower that looks like a woman's long wig.
Alstonia trees are used in traditional medicine. The bark of the Alstonia constricta and the Alstonia scholaris is a source of a remedy against malaria, toothache, rheumatism and snake bites[citation needed]. The latex is used in treating coughs, throat sores and fever.
Many Alstonia species are commercial timbers, called pule or pulai in Indonesia and Malaysia. Trees from the section Alstonia produce light timber, while those from the sections Monuraspermum and Dissuraspermum produce heavy timber.
Alstonia trees are widespread and mostly not endangered. However a few species are very rare, such as A. annamensis, A. beatricis, A. breviloba, A. stenophylla and A. guangxiensis.

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — The United States and its Arab and European allies will step up their support for Syria's opposition to help them "fight for the freedom of their country" if President Bashar Assad's regime doesn't engage in peace talks in good faith, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry vowed Wednesday.
Kerry allowed that President Barack Obama won't send American troops to Syria. But he made clear that more aid to the rebels would be coming if the effort fails.
"In the event that we can't find that way forward, in the event that the Assad regime is unwilling to negotiate Geneva in good faith, we will also talk about our continued support, growing support for opposition in order to permit them to continue to fight for the freedom of their country," Kerry said, speaking to reporters ahead of a June conference in Jordan dedicated to finding strategies to end Syria's two-year civil war based on a framework that would install a transitional government.
Obama "has also made it clear that he intends to support the broad-based opposition, and he has taken no options off table with respect to how that support may be provided, or what kind of support that might be," the secretary told reporters at news conference with Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh.
Kerry also warned Iran and the militant Hezbollah movement to stop providing assistance to Assad, saying such activity "perpetuates the regime's campaign of terror against its own people."
"We have to hope that Bashar Assad and his regime will understand the meaning of that and the Iranians and others will understand the meaning of that," Kerry said. "The president will keep those options available to him short of American forces on ground."
To that end, an administration official in Washington said the White House would soon notify Congress about an expanded package of non-lethal assistance to the Syrian rebels.
Details of the aid package are still being finalized, according to the official, who was not authorized to discuss the expanded aid publicly and insisted on anonymity. But, the package is likely to include vehicles and communications gear, the official said. It is not expected to include night vision goggles or body armor, underscoring the cautious approach the U.S. has taken regarding military-style assistance to the opposition.
At the news conference Kerry and Judeh both stressed that the goal is to get the Syrian government and opposition into political transition talks that could begin as early as next month in Geneva.
Without that, violence will continue and the death toll from the conflict will continue to rise.
"Let's assume there is no Geneva 2," Kerry said. "Let's assume we don't come together as community of nations to try to find a peaceful process. What will happen? What will happen is an absolute guarantee that violence will continue and the world will be standing on the sidelines doing nothing constructive to try to end that violence. That's unacceptable."
The comments came a day after a Senate panel voted to provide weapons to the rebels, the first time American lawmakers have endorsed the aggressive U.S. military step of arming the opposition.
With a degree of trepidation, the Foreign Relations Committee voted 15-3 for a bill that would provide lethal assistance and military training to vetted rebel groups, and would slap sanctions on anyone — such as Iran or Russia — who sells oil or transfers arms to the Assad regime. The measure would also establish a $250 million fund to aid in the transition if and when Assad falls.
AP White House Correspondent Julie Pace in Washington contributed to this report.

This season of "Survivor" takes place in Nicaragua, and our tribes are divided along age lines: people 40 and over in one tribe and people 30 and younger in the other. People 31-39, apparently, can go on some other reality show.
Probst insists on calling the tribe of over 40s "the older tribe," and it consists of a crazy fisherman, several grizzled no-nonsense women, and Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl-winning coach Jimmy Johnson. Because it just wasn't enough to give us the past three seasons of Douche, Li'l Russell, or both – we now have a guy who somehow manages to be both men in one while hogging the camera twice as much.
The younger tribe consists of a bunch of pretty people who are either stupid, have unappealing personalities, or both. They're happy enough to be with each other and not the ugly old people, until Kelly B. reveals that she has an artificial leg, which is such a buzzkill and makes everyone decide to get rid of her early so she won't get a million-dollar sympathy vote at the end of the game.
The young tribe also, thanks to Brenda, takes possession of the very cheesy "Medallion of Power," which they choose to give up to the old people in exchange for flint and fishing supplies. It turns out that the old people don't need flint, as they have Jane, who is apparently the only person on this show ever to actually practice making fire before the show began. Also, being an old person, she wears glasses, which makes fire-starting relatively simple.
The old people get a chance to use the Medallion of Power at the immunity challenge, where it will give them a slight advantage. They decide to hold onto the Medallion instead, and promptly lose. Back at camp, the votes appear to be split between Jimmy Johnson and Wendy, a flaky and aloof goat rancher. She decides to open up to her tribe at Tribal Council, when it's way too late anyway, but her insistence on what an awesome person and tribemate she is serves only to further alienate her and she's unanimously voted out.

by Kevin Sylvester / Buffalo SabresTyler Ennis (Photo: Bill Wippert) |
--Tyler Ennis can play. The kid was excellent with the puck and showed some tenacity. Linemate Jason Pominville was impressed ( Audio | Video) especially since Ennis hadn't played center until camp.
--Tyler Myers (Audio | Video) had some really good moments and a few hiccups, but all in all he's going to be good. His reach alone makes things difficult for opposing forwards, and I liked him on the point of the power play as he was able to keep the puck in the zone a few times.
--I expected a better game out of Mike Weber. This opinion may be jaded by his late, ill-advised boarding penalty on Brendan Morrison, but so be it. It was a dumb penalty at a crucial time of the game. The kind of penalty that makes Lindy Ruff lose trust in a player. He also got caught deep a few times in his own end.
--Nathan Gerbe assisted on Tim Kennedy's goal, but I would to see #42 get more shots on goal. He had just 1 in over 16:00 of ice time.
--Glad to see Jason Pominville scored in the third period after failing to capitalize in the second period on two great chances. After the game he talked of consistency this year and avoiding scoreless streaks. Remember he had two extensive ones last season that reached well past a dozen games.
--The best player for Buffalo that you've never heard of was defenseman Michael Kostka. The 23-year-old defenseman was solid in his own end and showed some offensive ability with two shots on goal. He registered four goals and 26 assists last season in Portland. It was also weird seeing a skater wearing #32 and not dropping the gloves.

Airbus Confronts Boeing Dreamliner With Upgrades to A330
Christopher Jasper and Andrea RothmanAirbus Group NV is upgrading the 20-year-old A330 jet with new engines to confront the wide-body challenge from Boeing Co.'s newer 787 Dreamliner.
The move became official at the Farnborough Airshow today, capping months of speculation about when and whether Airbus would offer the so-called A330neo. Airbus will drop the smallest of the three versions of its more-modern A350, a variant that hasn't sold well.
A retooled A330 boasting greater fuel economy opens a new front in the jockeying between Airbus and Boeing in the long-haul segment dominated by the U.S. planemaker. Efficiency has been a central sales point for the carbon-fiber 787, and Chicago-based Boeing dismissed Airbus's decision to refresh an older aircraft and scale back a new jet family.
"Their A350 strategy has failed -- they're really down to one successful model," Boeing Marketing Vice President Randy Tinseth told reporters at the Farnborough expo near London. "If they didn't make this choice, they'd be headed for a 30 to 35 percent share in the 200- to 400-seat market."
Customer feedback about the A350-800 spurred Airbus's decision to abandon the plane, said Fabrice Bregier, who leads the airliner unit at the Toulouse, France-based company. Stopping work on that jet will let Airbus focus on the more successful and larger -900 model and respond to some airlines' concerns for fixes to the biggest version, the -1000.
"We listen to the market," Bregier said.
Air Lease
Airbus's decision to build the A330neo was followed by an agreement to sell 25 of planes to Steven Udvar-Hazy's Air Lease Corp., part of a rush of purchases disclosed on the opening day the aviation industry's biggest annual forum. Counting an order for Airbus A321s, Air Lease committed to $14.1 billion of planes from the European manufacturer.
AerCap Holdings NV agreed to acquire 50 A320neo jets valued at about $6 billion, and Boeing won orders valued at more than $2 billion from lessor Avolon Holdings Ltd. and $3.1 billion from the U.K.'s closely held Monarch Airlines Ltd. Buyers typically get discounts from catalog prices.
Airbus's 742 orders for the A350 family trail the 1,031 for Boeing's Dreamliner, based on tallies on the planemaker's website. While the Dreamliner's 2011 debut ran more than three years late, the A350 isn't entering service until this year. With the A330neo, Airbus will have fewer technological challenges -- and costs -- than with the carbon-fiber A350.
'Much Lower'
"Our understanding from customer discussions is that this airplane needs to be in service before 2018, which this timeline achieves," said Douglas S. Harned, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. "As with the A320neo, Airbus's development commitment will be much lower than an all new airplane."
Airbus said the A330 upgrade should reduce fuel consumption by 14 percent and offer a range increase of as much as 400 nautical miles (740 kilometers). Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc will supply the engines.
The price point for the A330neo -- the larger of two versions will list for $275 million -- makes it a compelling alternative, Air Lease's Hazy said. Boeing's mid-sized 787-9 retails for $249.5 million and seats about 280 people. The current A330-300 seats about 300.
The A330 and Dreamliner are the smaller offerings among the two planemakers' wide-body lineups. Airbus's A350-1000 is the company's biggest twin-engine plane, while Boeing's 777 is even larger -- and will grow again when the stretched 777X version debuts in 2020. Atop the size heap are Boeing's 747-8 jumbo and Airbus's A380 double-decker superjumbo.
Airbus has been pondering the future of the A330, which sits between the A320 single-aisle family and the new A350, following an order surge for the re-engined version of the A320. The twin-aisle A330 has been a popular alternative to the 787 after the Dreamliner was plagued by delays on service entry.
"The A330 is a very important margin contributor for our group," Airbus Chief Executive Officer Tom Enders said in a statement. "It is also one of the most reliable and efficient commercial aircraft ever. Customers love it."

Come and create these clever little guys from Norway! They haunt bridges and get outsmarted by goats. They turn to stone in sunlight and are reportedly very stupid. In a very popular book and movie, a full grown Mountain troll was defeated by it's own club and a wand up the nose. In another favorite tale it took an elf, a dwarf, a wizard, two men, and four hobbits to defeat the great ugly thing. In my favorite cartoon show from when I was little they were a little more cunning, but were alway outwitted by the gnomes! They're trolls of course! Come make one of your very own on Wednesday, August 16th at 5pm.

We really enjoyed staying at Antonijas apartment. It was clean and contained everything you need for a stay in a town. She was very nice and I would recommend the apartment to everyone.
We had a very good week in Split and the apartment was great. It is located in the old town and you are close to ferries, buses, restaurants and so on. So it is easy to make day trips to the islands and national parks. The hosts was very nice and helpful =)

Was Bishop Thomas Weeks III Right About Juanita Bynum Being a Femme Fatale?
Was Bishop Thomas Weeks III Right About Juanita Bynum Being a Femme Fatale?
We have found that this reminds of a news interview that her ex-husband Bishop Thomas Weeks III said about her. We wish we had a clip of the interview from the time when he was speaking out about his alleged physical abuse on Juanita Bynum several years ago.
In the interview he did with local news in Atlanta, which is no longer available, Bishop Thomas Weeks III stated Juanita Bynum was not stable emotionally and he called her "Brandi Webb" from a movie. If you do not know who Brandi Webb is, she was a character from a 1996 movie by Martin Lawrence called "A Thin Line Between Love and Hate". Brandi Webb's role was that of a rich femme fatale that allegedly falls in love with a player (Martin Lawrence's role as Darnell Wright) but she develops a fatal attraction when she finds her love interest has another woman on the side.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz – A Twofer.
We've become accustomed to dumb politicians (e.g. Joe "Stand up, Chuck" Biden and Congresswoman Corrine Brown), but Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Chairthing of the Democrat National Committee, is not only as dumb as a sack of onions, but she is also thoroughly obnoxious. She's dumbnoxious.
Then again, maybe her dumbnoxiousness is good news for the Republican Party.

Many people have a distinct strategy for purchasing a new pickup. They want certain features, they're willing to pay more for this, but not that. They figure value and how much it'll be worth for resale X-number years down the road.
But when those same ranchers go to buy a bull, it's hard to follow such a plan. Action at the auction can lead to price "opportunities" and buying less than they really wanted.
Jim McGrann, emeritus ranch management economist at Texas A&M, says bull-buying should be more like a vehicle purchase and less like shopping the bargain bin on an after-Christmas sale.
"When you put it in the proper perspective—what does it means in terms of depreciation per female serviced—it's really a low cost number when one takes into account increasing salvage value," he says, noting investment minus salvage should be spread over three to five years.
A bull that services an average of 25 cows per year for 5 years, typically accounts for less than 10% of total cow costs.
"The seedstock people do a poor job of marketing because they're always talking up that they're price sensitive and price competitive," McGrann says. "They never really talk about, when you purchase a bull, you're making a long term investment."
He authored an Excel spreadsheet (available at http://agrisk.tamu.edu/herd-bull-investment/) that helps calculate what different bulls could mean to cow costs. Increasing bull purchase price by $200 only moves the annual cost per hundredweight (cwt.) of calf weaned by 42 cents. A $2,900 bull covering 25 cows per year divides out tot of $9.31 per cwt. calf weaned. For a $3,100 bull, that moves to $9.73.
Add another $1,000 to the bull purchase price, up to $4,100, and that per-cwt. calf cost would increase just $2.10 to $11.83.
"Buying genetics is investing in the future to conform to market demands," McGrann says. It's important to choose bulls that help meet what the next owners of your calves want, all the way to the consumer, he says.
When genetics help add value to the herd, the cost decreases.
The above figures are based on an average 550-pound (lb.) weaned calf. If a particular sire adds 20 lb. per animal, the cost per cwt. of calf weaned drops to $8.98 on a $2,900 bull and to $11.41 on a $4,100 sire.
Notch that up by 100 lb. to a 650-lb. weaning weight average and that cost drops by a $1.33, or more than 10%.
Selection for more carcass merit will drop net bull cost as well, given any way to capitalize on the added value. Though such qualitative traits aren't part of this calculator, the point is part of a larger fact.
"Genetics is a cheap input," McGrann says. "You are not going to make any money or save your costs by buying low-quality sires. There's no way."
Reproduction is still key, so any sire that improves that area on the balance sheet will pay more than his fair share.
The examples assume an 85% ratio of weaned calf per cow exposed. If a particular bull excels in calving ease or heifer pregnancy traits, perhaps that number could inch up to 90%.
In that case, the bull cost per cwt. of weaned calf drops by 52 cents.
Compounding some of those factors like a bull that increases reproduction and adds more pounds makes the dollars even more apparent.
McGrann's calculator is based on producers selling calves at weaning, but he says that does not mean that weight is the only factor that matters in those calves.
"They have to be in tune with the market," he says. "If ranchers want to get one-on-one with a feedyard guy, he'll be straight with them. He'll take them around pen by pen and show them what he wants."
That includes cattle that finish heavier and ultimately sell on a quality-based grid, McGrann says.
Once they have that target in mind, it's more important to infuse the herd with good genetics than to save a couple hundred bucks on a bull, he says.
"To say that a higher quality calf costs more to produce, boy that is not right, because the inputs that affect quality, particularly genetics, are really low cost," he says.
McGrann says producers also need to adjust their mindset to account for today's economics.
"If you told somebody that they had to pay $4,000 for a bull, they would have gone mad 5 years ago. But today, when you put it in perspective of $180 calves, it's a completely different world."

Timmy's life has changed since his dad died. He is now living with his grandparents and attending the one-room school back in Kentucky. Dark Days in Morgan County is the third installment in the popular Kentucky Summers series. Novelist Tim Callahan carves out a dramatic, suspenseful tale about a "colored" family that has moved into the Morgan County farm community in 1960. Overcoming his initial fear, Timmy makes friends with the poor Henry Washington's clan of six and introduces them to other families in the area. The problem is: at least one man moved to Morgan County to keep his family from having to live near blacks and is determined to keep the area all white.
Despite the difficult theme of the book, Tim Callahan has maintained the country wit and charm of his first two books while tackling racism and hatred. Spend a few evenings listening to this important and entertaining story. Kids and adults will love Dark Days in Morgan County.

It's safe to say that there's a new favorite television show in town and it goes by the name of Downton Abbey. Are you as obsessed as we are?!? We'll go with a big, fat YES. But even if you've never watched a single second, the beauty of this Downton Abbey inspired shoot will reel you in. Arielle Doneson Photography teamed up with Firefly Events to showcase all those gorgeous Edwardian details we can't seem to get enough of and how easily they translate into an ultra romantic wedding style. Click here for the full gallery.
We get a little extra excited whenever we get to see a photo shoot come to life and this time it's at the hands of Tree of Life Films. Such an appropriate name don't you think? Poor that second cup of joe and grab a front row seat to all the behind the scenes action right here…
Click here for the FULL photo shoot!
From Teissia of Firefly Events… When Arielle Doneson approached Firefly Events with the idea of a Downton Abbey-inspired photo shoot, we couldn't have been more excited. Shooting both digitally and on film, Arielle has a wonderful eye for capturing the small moments that make your big day so special, so we were thrilled to work with her. As diehard Downton Abbey fans, the three of us started compiling ideas on our Pinterest boards and reaching out to some of our favorite vendors. What we love most about the Edwardian style featured on Downton Abbey are the beautiful, rich colors and the romantic details seen in everything from jewelry and hats to dishes and flatware. We really wanted to highlight these aspects while giving them a modern update. To do this, we started by setting our shoot in a minimalist, white-washed loft overlooking the New York City streets. We loved how this backdrop made every detail pop.
We knew immediately that we wanted to work with Rebecca Shepherd for the floral design. She has an amazing eye, and her unique point of view was exactly what we were looking for. We chose a color palette of pinks and plums accented with plenty of greenery. One of our favorite Brit traditions is the garden party, and we wanted to bring a touch of that indoors. To do this, Rebecca created a structure of birch poles wrapped in seasonal greens to stand over the table. We hung a candlestick chandelier draped in flowers from the top beam — it was one of our favorite romantic details! For the tabletop, we combined sets of antique silver, vintage china from The Vintage Rental Company and an assortment of brass stemware, vases and candlesticks from Rebecca Shepherd. These were all set on an ivory linen tablecloth with layers of antique doilies running the length of the table and under each place setting to add texture and depth. Clusters of feathers placed inside miniature brass goblets created a simple, romantic presentation for each name card. These delicate touches perfectly offset the bold colors of the florals.
A wonderful baker and owner of Pickles and Pies, Erin Crosby, our beautiful bride, baked herself into a frenzy and provided us with an amazing array of desserts. We put together a delicious dessert bar with beautiful bold vintage pieces while allowing the florals to be soft and feminine. We really hit the jackpot with this gorgeous dress from Claire Pettibone, as well as the amazing headpiece by Sara Gabriel and beautiful vintage necklace, all borrowed from Gabriella New York! These pieces really brought our vision to life. Tying it all together with hair and makeup was Alexandra Brock! We love the red lips and romantic updo she chose for the bride. I believe that we're not alone when we say that the hats on Downton Abbey are one of the best parts of the show! We loved the idea of combining these incredibly chic hats from Preston and Olivia with an ultra feminine wedding dress. It's the perfect example of how a bride can transition from ceremony to reception just by changing up her accessories. These hats also brought a unique pop of color and romantic detail. For the groom, we took a cue from cousin Mathew and dressed him in a modern day Army uniform and kept his look classic and clean. As if all of this was not amazing enough, our friends at Tree Of Life Films joined us for the entire day and created this beautiful short film capturing all the magic both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Enjoy!

Nathan Baker inspects the corn crop at his Williams County field near the Ohio-Michigan border as his dog Buck follows.
When the teenagers in Nathan Baker's FFA chapter talk about work on their employers' farms, Nathan talks about his own 77 acres of crops along the Ohio-Michigan line.
In October, when the other teens are in the audience at the National FFA Convention in Louisville, he will be on stage, recognized as one of the top four FFA members in the country in the 450,000-member agricultural youth organization's diversified crops competition.
Nathan, who graduated in June from Waldron High School in a class of 29 students, is the school's first FFA member in at least 25 years to rank in the top four in the country in any FFA contest, his agriculture teacher, Margo Fether, said.
He also is the only northwest Ohio or southeast Michigan FFA member this year to rank in the top four of any of the national FFA's contests.
Nathan, 18, has years of experience entering FFA contests.
He finished well in a crop skills contest, identifying the small visible differences between cucumber beetles, soybean leaf beetles, and corn rootworm beetles.
He didn't do as well in a public speaking contest in which he was to draw an agricultural topic from a hat, prepare for 30 minutes, and present a two to four-minute speech.
He's demonstrated how to make ethanol and debated biotechnology in competition with a group that called its performance "talk show" Agriculturally Incorrect.
Last month, he became secretary of the Michigan FFA, which has nearly 5,000 members.
This is just the beginning of a career he foresees in agriculture. He will enroll in agricultural business classes at Michigan State University this fall.
"That's what I've done all my life, and that's what I like to do," he said.
Nathan has worked with his father, Mark, on his 2,100-acre farm in Williams County in Ohio and Hillsdale County in Michigan for years.
But several years ago he decided to rent land from his father and other landlords and raise his own corn, soybeans, and wheat. He sells straw from the wheat to a buyer who resells it to Chicago area racetracks.
It's the selling of his grain and soybeans that is his biggest challenge, however. He said he had good luck his first two years selling his crops at harvest. But this year, prices have dropped considerably from spring when he could have made contracts with elevators.

In this tutorial you will learn to make a very simple preloader and one way to insert sounds for use in your action script.
Ok, let's start. Open a new movie, and in the first frame draw a rectangle and name your only layer ?preloader?. Use a border and a fill. Choose any colors you want as long as they're different from the movie's background.
Select the fill and make it a symbol (press F8 or go to Modify | Convert to symbol). Name it loadBar and make sure the registration point is set to the left middle and that you're making a movie clip.
Then, with the new symbol selected, go to the property panel and give the instance the name loadBar.
Now, go to the actions panel and insert this code for loadBar:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._xscale = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100;
This tells loadBar that it should be 0% wide at the beginning and increase in horizontal size as the movie loads. That's as much of a preloader that we need to insert the sounds.
Now that we have a working preloader, create now a folder beneath the only layer. This folder will make it easier to have all your sounds together without taking to much space in the timeline. Insert a layer in this folder.Also, insert one frame in the preloader layer (press F5 or go Insert | Timeline | Frame).
Now we add the sound. Import your sound to the library. With the sound in the library, right click on it and select ?linkage?. In the dialog box, check the box Labeled ?Export for ActionScript? and make sure ?Export in first frame? is not selected (that is what causes the sounds to load before the preloader). In the ?Identifier? box type ?music?, that is the name by which we refer to the sound in ActionScript.
Select the first frame it the layer inside the folder in the timeline. In the property panel, select the name of your sound from the ?Sound? combo box. Make sure ?Synch? is set to ?Event?.
Select the same frame again and go to the actions panel. And insert:
This way the sound will never play.
Finally, go to the first frame of your preloader layer and insert this code:
That's all you need to prepare to use the sound. Now we will make a button to actually hear it.
Create a keyframe in the second frame of the preloader layer. From the common libraries in Windows | Other panels | Common libraries, open the button library. Drag one of the buttons from the library and drag it under the preloader bar in the preloader layer in the 2 rd frame. Name the button instance ?playBtn?
For this button to play a sound you must create a sound object and attach the sound with its linkage id. To do this, insert this in the buttons actions:
on (release) {
var my_sound = new Sound();
If you test your movie now, the button will never show up, right? That's because we have to tell the preloader to go to the second frame after the movie loads. For this, go to the loadBar actions and insert this code right before the ending braces:
if (this._xscale == 100) {
Now the movie will go to the second frame after the movie is completely loaded. Since the file is in your computer, this may not be evident, but you can simulate a download by pressing Ctrl+Enter while testing the movie. The preloader will fill up and then the button appears. Click it and voila! you will hear your sound.
Adding more sounds is very simple, just add one layer per sound in the folder where you'll keep them and make sure the sound only takes up only one frame and that they are all aligned.
There is only one consideration to this method, and that is that all sounds MUST appear before the frame in which they are actually used. Also, stopping the sounds is only necessary in one of the layers of the sounds folder and only if you're going to use that frame, because you could just as easily jump over that frame.
Well, that's all. Hope it is helpful.
