[Giveaway] Lock Your Apps From Devious Friends With Applocker!
Want to have some personal app security for when your friends start playing on your iDevice?
Applocker is a tweak developed by Ori Kadosh or cjori as his Cydia alias. The point of this tweak is to be able to lock off certain apps temporarily. You will be able to select a certain handful of apps and choose to lock them off; as soon as you launch and unlock one of your locked apps, the rest of the apps that are locked off will become unlocked as well. So, consider this a secondary security measure for your passcode. If someone watches you enter it and learns how to get into your iPhone (even a friend for that matter), then you are pretty much at their mercy to what they choose to do until you get your iPhone back. This tweak will put down a second layer of security that will keep them from launching your specified apps even after the device is past the lock screen. The Cydia description of Applocker can be read below:
As explained, you can lock apps not only from your springboard but also from your multitasking app switcher. This means that even if you have apps running in the background you can still lock them from being opened. Applocker also allows you to lock the position of your apps on your springboard so that the person using it will not be able to move them around and confuse you. Not only that, you can also lock folders. Below are the settings for Applocker:
How do I lock a specific app?
To lock a specific app, open the Applocker settings and navigate to where it says, "Applications." From there you will see a list of applications with on and off switches next to them. Turning the app 'on' means that it will be locked. Turning the app 'off' means that it will be unlocked. If you go back to the main settings page for Applocker, you will see the option to invert your selection. What this will do is lock every app that you have turned off and unlock every app that you had turned on. This would be useful if you had all of them off and wanted to lock all of them quickly instead of going through and selecting all of them. Of course, this will only take effect if you have the, "Enabled" switch turned on.
How do I lock a specific folder?
Under the folder locking prompt in the Applocker settings, you can enter the name of a specific folder to lock. Unfortunately, it looks like you can only lock one folder at a time. So make a good choice. Put all of the apps you don't want played with in one folder. One more thing – the name of the folder must be typed in verbatim. This includes caps sensitivity.
How do I lock apps on the springboard and in the app switcher?
Simply toggle on the, "Springboard" and, "Multitasking Switcher" options under the heading, "Lock Launching apps from."
How do I lock the orientation of apps on my springboard?
Simply toggle on the, "Enabled" option under the heading, "Layout Locking."
One of the other big features for the tweak is called session locking. With session locking enabled, you can set the device to lock apps until the correct password is entered. After that point, all apps will become unlocked. If you turn session locking off, then your apps will always be locked, no matter if you entered the correct password last time or not. So basically, you'll have to enter the password every time you want to do something that fights against whatever you locked off. Personally, I feel that session locking is the better way to go. That way you can quickly unlock the device when you're ready to use it and lock it back up again when you're done.
So when you turn on Applocker, what does it look like when you try enter an app? It looks like this:
Ori Kadosh has informed me that he plans to update the tweak to lock Notification Center objects as well. This will be released in an upcoming update!
Developer: cjori
Repo: Modmyi
Verison: 1.5
Price: 99¢
Grab it today, or enter the giveaway!
I was able to talk to Ori Kadosh via email and learn a little about him and the tweak he developed:
Anthony: Tell us in about a paragraph a little about yourself; include how you became a developer.
Ori: I'm a high school student from Israel. I guess I became a developer when I found out that I want to create stuff. Most of what I've created was on a need basis (just like Applocker). I started learning when I was very young; long before the iPhone. I've made stuff on several different platforms using various languages. I started as a Flash (yes, Flash, the thing that the iPhone doesn't support) developer; I still love making flash games (even though I have some mixed feelings about the current status of flash).
Anthony: What was some of your motivation behind the tweak? Was there a story behind creating it?
Ori: Actually, I owe my motivation to my dear friends; they just couldn't resist the urge to post embarrassing posts on my Facebook! I thought to myself, "alright, I have a jailbroken iPhone and a dollar, I'm sure there's a dead simple app locking solution in Cydia, right? Wrong." Everything was either overly complex or really expensive. I needed to fix that. So Applocker started as really simple app locking solution. Over the past two weeks that it's been out I've updated it to lock folders, lock the home screen layout (actually that was added with 1.5 which came out today), and lock sessions (unlock one app, everything gets unlocked until you lock your device, then everything gets relocked. Letting you 'multitask' between apps easily). I'm constantly updating it with more features.
Anthony: What are some previous tweaks or packages that you've created?
Ori: To be honest, Applocker is my first package in Cydia. I'm kind of new in this field, but it's going great. Developing tweaks is really out of this world. Being able to modify Apple's code, what's cooler than that?
Anthony: Are you working on anything new?
Ori: iPhone related? No. I have some ideas in my mind but they're not under development as of now. Though there's 'Modern Peg Solitaire' which is a flash game that is waiting to be released, but that's unrelated.
The Giveaway
Ori was generous enough to offer 10 giveaway copies of Applocker. Here's how to win:

Hmm MMi has been having a lot of giveaways, no complaint here. I for one don't mind reading an article about a lock app, especially since I don't have one. I'm surprised to see it being only $.99. I could use an app like this, I'm always feeling nervous letting ppl use my iPhone, especially when they get curious. I try to limit their phone calls haha

Look up LOCKTOPUS on cydia, or LOCTOPUS.
its WAY better......... less menus, all you do is hold an icon down, until they "wiggle" and there is a "lock" button on the corner of each icon, just like the X button over apps.
like this app but loctopus is better imo

As @thekirbylover, sometimes I, uh, need to keep code top secret. But don't tell anyone I said that.
But on a serious note, all the other app locking tweaks I have tried are either buggy or not iPad compatible. Having this tweak around will make me sure that nobody's going to look through my emails.
The price for the privacy it offers is great! Although, a numeric passcode (similar to the passcode entry for unlocking an iDevice) would be a lot more efficient.. Twitter: xCrims0nx. Good luck to everyone!

Night owls finally have a marathon to call their own. The MoonWalk NYC, taking place Saturday, will be the city's first overnight marathon, according to organizers.
Moonwalkers will set off at 10:30 p.m. from Randall Island, wearing brightly colored bras to raise funds for Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center's Breast Examination Center in Harlem. The marathon course will make its way into Manhattan, along the East River to Lower Manhattan and up the West Side before coming back to Randall Island. The full loop is 26 miles long. The race ends at 4:30 a.m.
The MoonWalk was started 15 years ago in London. This is the first one to take place in the United States.

No-on goes into a relationship planning on having problems, but when they start to go wrong, it can really impact the whole of our lives.
Many of us weren't given a great role model for healthy relationships and this topic is not taught in schools, so most of us are trying to do our best with limited know- how on how to make our relationship better.
Most couples feel, when their relationship is struggling, that they can't feel much of the love any more, and the connection they onced loved and valued so much, has wained. Others can feel that they have somehow lost themselves in their relationship, and don't know who they are anymore.
And you can fall into the trap of pushing each others buttons, and not communicating in loving and effective ways, creating a negative cycle that is very difficult to extricate yourself from.
Relationship problems usually move through a number of Stages as they progress. You can find out what stage your relationship is at.
Because our team are all Psychologists specializing in relationships, we can help you with any of the kind of problems in the relationship sphere.
Here are some examples:
- Infidelity and Affairs
- Controlling and abusive behaviour
- Lack of equality between you both
- Loss of intimacy
- Reduced and problem communication
- A feeling that you've lost the love
- Relationship taken for grantedness
- Any kind of Sexual problems
- Problems that you may have brought from your childhood
- Any problems with parenting your children
- Difficulties with parenting Step children
- Any kind of family problems
- Anger management issues of any kind
- Problems with over use of pornography
- Pre-marriage programs to prepare you well for marriage
- Issues with Narcissist tendencies in either or both partners
If you need any advise on any relationship or sexual problems you may have visit our Relationship and Sex Advice page where you can search for any topic.
We pride ourselves in taking a very positive approach to our relationship counselling.
We feel it is important to take time to really understand the problems and perspectives of each of you, and at the same time, we find that most couples are looking to find a positive action plan and way through their problems to make changes which have a positive impact and a real sense of hope for their relationship.
View our VIDEO on what to expect from our Counselling. or read about frequently asked questions about our relationship and marriage counselling process
If you need more information, please read more about our approach to counselling in our relationship counselling sessions.
Some of our clinics also provide after hours and Saturday sessions for your convenience.
Most couples find over time that their communication slips and becomes a problem. Most people want to speak and be really listened to, but when you are having relationship problems, most people complain that they feel their partner is not listening.
This, in turn usually means that they, themselves don't feel inclined to listen to the other either, and so you usually end up with a very frustating lose-lose situation where both talk and no-one listens.
So learning how to express your honest thoughts and feelings in a way that your partner does truly listen is a crucial skill to learn if you want to be in a happy and fulfilling relationship. We can show you how that is done in simple ways .
If you have had a number of relationships, you will probably notice that you will have a number of patterns that "follow" you from relationship to relationship. These are your own patterns, and we all have them.
So it can be helpful to discover what these are so you can change them and therefore change the way your relationships evolve too leading to healthier and happier relationships.

Infinite infrared regularization and a state space for the Heisenberg algebra
- Authors
- Publication Date
- Source
- Legacy
- Keywords
- Disciplines
We present a method for the construction of a Krein space completion for spaces of test functions, equipped with an indefinite inner product induced by a kernel which is more singular than a distribution of finite order. This generalizes a regularization method for infrared singularities in quantum field theory, introduced by G. Morchio and F. Strocchi, to the case of singularites of infinite order. We give conditions for the possibility of this procedure in terms of local differential operators and the Gelfand-Shilov test function spaces, as well as an abstract sufficient condition. As a model case we construct a maximally positive definite state space for the Heisenberg algebra in the presence of an infinite infrared singularity. See the corresponding paper: Schmidt, Andreas U.: "Mathematical Problems of Gauge Quantum Field Theory: A Survey of the Schwinger Model" and the presentation "Infinite Infrared Regularization in Krein Spaces"

Ailing Baldelli left off Sox's ALDS roster
Ailing Baldelli left off Sox's ALDS roster
When Boston submitted its roster on Thursday, Brian Anderson and Joey Gathright were the reserve outfielders, while Baldelli, who sustained the injury on Friday night at Fenway Park while running out a ground ball, was left inactive.
Though the Red Sox have a strong starting outfield trio in Jason Bay, Jacoby Ellsbury and J.D. Drew, Baldelli could have become an important piece in this series because of the presence of Angels left-handers Scott Kazmir and Joe Saunders, who will start Games 3 and 4, respectively.
In 93 at-bats against southpaws this season, Baldelli hit .293 with four homers and 15 RBIs.
"We had the trainers go down and see him this morning," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "He visited with [general manager] Theo [Epstein]. It wasn't going to reach. I think we wanted to take every chance we could to see if there was a lot of improvement, and it just wasn't [improving], so we didn't want to make a mistake."
While the Red Sox have treated the injury aggressively, Baldelli still hasn't progressed to any type of baseball activities.
Player | Position |
Jacoby Ellsbury | CF |
Dustin Pedroia | 2B |
Victor Martinez | C |
Kevin Youkilis | 1B |
David Ortiz | DH |
Jason Bay | LF |
Mike Lowell | 3B |
J.D. Drew | RF |
Alex Gonzalez | SS |
"He can't run. He hasn't even been able to swing yet," Francona said. "He's been doing some dry swings, but that's about it."
There was a good chance that Baldelli would have started Games 3 and 4. Anderson won't get a start. His value will mainly be as a bat off the bench and a defensive replacement. Gathright gives Francona a pinch-runner.
With Baldelli out of the mix, left-handed hitters J.D. Drew and David Ortiz will now likely start against the southpaws at Fenway.
"I guess if Rocco was here, we would have played him," Francona said. "But J.D. and David are good players. I have no problem playing them at all. They might have played anyway. This certainly makes it easier [to decide]."
As for the rest of the roster, there were no other surprises.
The club is going with 11 pitchers as follows:
Daniel Bard; Josh Beckett; Clay Buchholz; Paul Byrd; Jon Lester; Daisuke Matsuzaka; Hideki Okajima; Jonathan Papelbon; Ramon Ramirez; Takashi Saito; Billy Wagner.
Victor Martinez and Jason Varitek are the two catchers.
The seven infielders are Kevin Youkilis, David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, Alex Gonzalez, Mike Lowell, Casey Kotchman and Jed Lowrie.
The Red Sox and Angels play Game 1 on Thursday at 9:37 p.m. ET.

SP3 - Unregistered August 28, 2012 12:48 PM Cannot believe anyone would wish for MORE yellows. WTF?!? Hooray for contrived racing??? Yellows are for the safety of the drivers. When they started being used to pack up the field for 'excitement' is when real racing (in all its forms) started it's gradual slide into lameness. 3 agree 0 disagree
johnnymat August 27, 2012 4:31 PM Nice drive by Briscoe. I thought Will Power had it well in hand until the late yellow. Glad to see him get some good points.

Tami (Hebrew: תמ"י, an acronym for Tnu'at Masoret Yisrael (Hebrew: תנועת מסורת ישראל), lit. Movement for the Heritage of Israel) was a Mizrahi-dominated political party in Israel throughout the 1980s. It was led by Aharon Abuhatzira for its entire existence.
Tami was founded shortly before the 1981 elections when Minister of Religions and former Mayor of Ramla Aharon Abuhatzira broke away from the National Religious Party after they had failed to stop him from being stripped of his parliamentary immunity and put on trial.
Campaigning on a platform of equality for all citizens regardless of religion, ethnic background, or nationality, Tami won three seats, taken by Abuhatzira, President of Sephardi Federation of Israel and former Mapai and Alignment MK and Minister Aharon Uzan, and another former NRP member, Ben-Zion Rubin. The party were invited into Menachem Begin's coalition government alongside Likud, the National Religious Party, Agudat Israel, Telem and later Tehiya. Abuhatzira was appointed Minister of Labor and Social Welfare and Minister of Immigrant Absorption, but resigned from both positions in April 1982 after being convicted of larceny, breach of trust and fraud, handing over both positions to Uzan.
The party performed poorly in the 1984 elections, losing a large number of of its voters to the new Sephardic party Shas, and won only one seat, taken by Abuhatzira. It merged into the Likud throughout the Knesset session and ceased to exist.
Knesset members

Nokia, Actavis, TopShop, Microsoft: Intellectual Property
Victoria Slind-FlorMay 28 (Bloomberg) -- Nokia Oyj sued rival mobile-phone maker HTC Corp. for selling products in the U.S., including the HTC One handset, that allegedly infringe three of its patents.
The patents pertain to "terminal, method and computer program product for interacting with a signaling tag," according to the complaint Nokia filed May 23 in federal court in San Diego. The Espoo, Finland-based company seeks a court order halting the alleged infringement and unspecified damages.
Nokia, which lost its 14-year title as world's biggest seller of mobile phones to Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. in 2011, is trying to expand revenue from its patent portfolio. The company last year sued Taoyuan, Taiwan-based HTC in the U.S. and in Germany over alleged patent infringement.
"Upon receiving the official document, HTC is to consider all legal options to protect our rights," the Taiwanese company said in an e-mailed statement May 23.
In dispute are patents 7,775,432, 8,306,065, and 8,366,000.
The case is Nokia Oyj v. HTC Corp., 13-1231, U.S. District Court, Southern District of California (San Diego).
Actavis Sale of Generic Pulmicort Blocked by Appeals Court
Actavis Inc.'s sales of a generic form of AstraZeneca PLC's Pulmicort pediatric asthma treatment were cut short after a May 24 order from a federal appeals court.
Sales were to have begun April 1, following a trial court ruling that Parsippany, New Jersey-based Actavis didn't infringe AstraZeneca's patent 7,524,834, and that a second patent at issue -- 6,598,603 -- wasn't valid.
The trial court issued a temporary ban on sale of the generic version of the drug on April 2, to give AstraZeneca a chance to go to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, a Washington-based court that hears appeals of patent cases.
The appeals court issued its temporary order May 24, saying that London-based AstraZeneca had established it was entitled to that protection during the course of the appeal. AstraZeneca is required to post a $72 million bond within 7 days of the ruling, according to the order.
Additionally, the appeals court granted a request from Israel's Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. to file a friend of the court brief.
The case is AstraZeneca LP v. Breath Ltd., 2013-1312-1352, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The lower court case is AstraZeneca LP v. Breath Ltd., 1:08-cv-01512-RMB-AMD, U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey (Camden).

Pop Singer Rihanna Goes After TopShop, Says T-Shirt Unauthorized
TopShop Ltd., the London-based clothing retailer, was sued by pop singer Rihanna, who claims the chain sold T-shirts without authorization that bear her image, the U.K.'s Telegraph newspaper reported.
She had been in negotiations with the chain for more than a year over the shirts, according to the Telegraph.
The newspaper reported that Rihanna is seeking $5 million in damages.
Although TopShop has some U.S. outlets, the allegedly infringing product wasn't sold there, according to the Telegraph.

Microsoft Copyright Infringement Claim Rejected by Russian Court
Microsoft Corp.'s copyright infringement complaint against the joint German-Russian venture Autobahn was rejected by the Moscow Region Commercial Court, the Russian Legal Information Agency reported.
Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft, the world's largest software company, claimed unauthorized copies of its software were found on Autobahn computers during an inspection by Russian law enforcement officials, according to RAPSI.
The court found fault with the protocol under which the inspection was conducted and said that Microsoft didn't provide adequate evidence to defeat Autobahn's claims that the inspection didn't take place at the address specified in court documents, RAPSI reported.
Autobahn, founded in 1995, is a joint venture between a group of Russian road construction companies and Windhagen, Germany's Wirtgen GmbH, according to the news agency.

Trade Secrets/Industrial Espionage
Chinese Researches at NYU Arrested, Charged in Espionage Case
Three Chinese researchers at New York University were charged with falsification of records and commercial bribery in an industrial espionage case.
The scientists are accused of providing information to a Chinese medical-imaging company that flows from their research at the university funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health, according to the complaint filed May 19 in federal court in Manhattan.
The government alleged in court papers that Yudong Zhu, an associate professor in radiology at NYU, provided false statements regarding his affiliation with a Chinese government-sponsored research institution, a Chinese medical-imaging company, and about his application for and ownership of a patent related to NIH-funded research.
Zhu's patent 8,319,495 B1 was issued in November 2012, and, according to the complaint, the university became aware of it only in connection with its own investigation.
Additional allegations are related to photographs taken of lab equipment, and e-mails to the Chinese company.
Zhu is represented by Robert M. Baum of Federal Defenders of New York Inc., who didn't respond immediately to an e-mailed request for comment.
The case is U.S. A v. ZHU, 11:13-mj-01309-UA, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Four wheel drive vs. "all wheel drive." The Joan is bugging
the crap out of me again to 'move on' from my old trusty 91 Ford Explorer. In context, the car has done every thing I've asked but when your married to a Redhead ..... sigh.....
So to the question: (and this time she's even tossed in trading in her Lexus. Maybe a bit too serious here for my own good. Now you know too much about how an 'old good marrage works in southern Oregon ) Your collective thoughts on 4x4 vs. 'all wheel drive' in a mid sized SUV. 99% of the time the 4 x 4 is to get me on/off gravel bars rather than towing so "she" may have a point (double sigh ...). Question covers a few points: Which do you prefer and why? In an 'all wheel drive' is there an 'experience preference? Last question: How do I get out of this alive? Keeping her "at bay" with the new home coming .... "No girl, not until we know EXACTLY how much this will end up costing." That puppy will hunt for about another 45 days.

I suggest the best possible answer is ............"yes dear." Bob |
Sigh .... Bob, I read your answer to Joan.
Her response: "Right answer, good man."
Now go away!:eyecrazy: |

Re: Four wheel drive vs. "all wheel drive." The Joan is bugging
My only experiences with 4 wd are in a Subaru a couple of years older than your Explorer. What I found was that in snow the 4 wd only helped to get moving, not in steering or stopping. Never tried it on the beach, In retrospect I should have.
John Desjardins |
All wheel drive is good for on road performance(wet roads, maybe snow, but snow tires are better still) and 4wd is better off road(gravel bars).
A locking center diffferential is key off road(even with "traction control"). AWD cars with the LCD that come to mind are the Jeep Cherokee, Toyota Land Cruiser, and the HUM V. The older Rovers have it too(maybe again in '04). Car buying sucks(which is why I haven't bought a car in 11 years), but the Pathfinder is going to blow up if I tow the boat more than a hundred miles or so. sigh....nothing really fits the bill.
One cast can change your day...maybe your life. |
I have owned 4X4 trucks that have been part-time 4 wheel drive and one that was full-time four wheel drive. They performed equally well to go get firewood in the mountains of Montana and to get to our-of-the-way spots in the hills where a road was nothing more than a track in the woods. The full-time 4x4 was a '78 Dodge pickup and it had a locking center differential (as Eddie mentioned) which is essential to going in the ruff. I sold the Dodge 4 1/2 years ago and bought a Jeep Cherokee becaue the wife thought we needed a SUV instead of a truck. The Cherokee we bought has part-time 4-wheel drive. What is really needed is a locking center differential or transfer case that sends ewual power to both front and rear axles along with a low range 4-wheel drive for stump pulling, off-roading, or gravel bar driving, and secent fround clearance to avoid high centering or beating up things like oil pans. . There are many SUV's out there that meet these criteria. Interestingly, my wife has been saying for the last 3 months that we ought to consider selling the Cherokee and get another 4X4 pickup because pickups can carry more stuff. Go figure. |
Fred you just have to have
a new Range Rover.
Look at http://www.landrover.com/gb/en/default.htm and I quote Wherever you want to go, Land Rover can take you there. Welcome to our world of adventure. Most of the ghillies on the Spey drive Land Rover Defenders. I have had three Range Rovers for Salmon Fishing you cannot get better. Malcolm |
Willie, actually considered the land rovers, only
as my step son AND his son both have newer models (Dad the big one, son the small one) down in Calif. Doubt they've ever been anywhere close to 'off road.' But they're coming up in a couple of weeks and I'll ask them to bring the 'smaller' of the two and give it a try.
Only real concern I'd have with this vech. would be necessary repairs. Doubt there's a dealer within 400 miles of Medford. fae ps: did you get the hats? Fred |
Lat & Long
Yes got the hats, thanks, did you not get the Email nearest dealer N 45 31' 15" W 122 39' 59" all you need now is a sextant. Malcolm |
We bought a new 2002 Trailbalzer in April have put 10,000 on it including city, long distance and off road driving. No problems, no rattles even with the South Dakota Bad Lands back roads and Michigan National Forest wash board roads. Gas mileage is close to or above 20 on the road. We are very satisfied with it and would buy another. Many models to choose from. The new Vortec engine is a performer. Like they saw "Like a Rock". Would think even in Medford you would have a Chevrolet dealer. The other one I would look at is the GMC Envoy. Good Luck on your search ! Hal http://www.chevrolet.com/trailblazer/index.html |
I second those opinions on the Range Rovers - serious 4x4 capabilities when equipped correctly. I guess the first question would be, What do you want in this vehicle? How much of the time would you be off-road? For overall "roadability" on pavement, the all wheel drive vehicles are really nice, particularly on wet or snowy roads. For off-road driving, a more capable vehicle would be a 4x4 SUV or truck, preferably with a limited slip differential (locking axle). Just watch your leadfoot and don't punch it on ice or snow. I've personally run the gamit from 2x4 to 4x4 trucks and SUV's. I built a serious 3/4ton 4x4, installing locking axles, lift kit and serious off-road tires. Strangely, my most capable vehicle was my old '86 GMC Jimmy SUV (GMC's little Blazer). Because of it's 4x4 capabilities and shorter wheel base I could go places even the built-up 4x4 couldn't go. My overall favorite "woods" vehicle. Which brings me back to the Range Rover - a really buff SUV though far from being pretty. Wish I could afford one... ws Last edited by watersprite; 10-05-2002 at 03:12 PM. |
Willie this will tickle you a bit on Navigation.
At one time (haven't had the use for it for many years) but I was darn good. My sextent is Royal Navy issue (that always had the other US Coasties scratching their heads) and IS still dead on. Still have my Bowdich (sp? ... long time since I've used the book) tables in the library. Gets hit with the "Brasso" three or four times per year.
Even with Loran, etc., I was always a firm (marine applications) 'beliver' that if it runs on electricity it will go out just when you need it the most. I'd have a crewman do the "electronic shoots" and I'd use the horizon, and the sun, a planet or a star. Also had a darn good wrist watch for a cronometer. Amazing how many of the crew wanted to learn to use the equipment. Most common mistake was their 'answer' was 180 degrees around the other side of the world. Sorry I missed the hat e mail; glad you got them and hope you and Stef. are 'shapoing' good health. As to the car thing .... I shan't allow Joan to read these ... assumeing she's not peeking anyway. You guys are supposed to be helping out not getting me into debt. As to applications of 4 x 4 95% is on gravel bars, the other 5% would be snow. fae |
Well now
I'd say it really depends on what you really want. First off, there is a BIG difference between limited slip and a locked differential. A limited slip is an axle that the tire on solid ground is "supposed" to grab and pull most of power, while a locked/locking differential has equal power to both wheels. The best vehicle 4x4 I ever had was an 80' Chevy Blazer K5 4x4 with front and rear locked differentials. It was a true four wheel drive (most 4x4's out there are actually a 2 wheel drive, they have front and rear slip differentials). I locked the front end in and I could get out of just about anywhere I wanted. Then unlocking front end sent my gas mileage up. An all wheel drive has all 4 wheels running at all times, usually with limited slip front/rear on axles. But with technology nowadays, there's virtually not much difference gas mileagewise between your all wheel vs 4x4. Just your undercarriage. Most 4x4's have a reinforced (and I say MOST) cage built in to protect your drivetrain. The cage on my current Blazer has been pummeled a few times on hunting trips that would've detroyed the tranny. But a thick steel skidplate bolted directly to the chassis helped me out and only caused an extra bumpy situation. Plus the extra shocks (mine has two sets stock front and rear made by GM specifically for the offroad package) keeps things in check.
I'd say in the long run, go with what Joan wants. Unless you hunt and fish in some of the places I do, you won't need anything overbearing. I'm looking for a 3/4 Suburban 4x4 so I have some extra clearance and the heavier duty axle needed for some of my hunting/fishing excursions. Most guys don't need that much vehicle.

Middle schools try radically different algebra strategies
At C.E. Utt Middle School in Tustin, no course is more important than algebra.
"We do everything we can to prepare students for algebra," said Utt Principal Cristine Matos. "We have interventions, extra tutoring and a host of other resources available."
That focus has helped the Tustin Unified school soar to the top for algebra achievement. Ninety percent of Utt's eighth-graders took the class and 60 percent of them scored proficient or above on the state's 2009 algebra test.
The result: 57 percent of all Utt's school's eighth-graders know their algebra, which educators see as a gateway to critical thinking, higher math and science courses and a necessary first step on the path to college.
But, more often, high enrollments also result in high failure rates.
Schools that try a second approach – enrolling only the most prepared eighth-graders – don't fare much better. Even when achieving the very best passing rates, they only reach a fraction of their eighth-grade classes.
Only a few schools, like Utt, manage to hit high marks on both measures.
Schools of all types say they work hard to prepare students for the rigors of algebra, to assess their chances before enrollment, to monitor progress during the class and to provide extra help when needed.
The difference lies in how many kids they decide are ready for algebra.
It's an annual exercise in which educators try to figure out how to reach the most students while achieving the greatest passing rate.
Algebra's boom
Anaheim Union High School District, for example, tries to enroll as many students as possible.
As with other high enrollers, the district cites a 2004 change in state law that made algebra 1 a high school graduation requirement. (The state tried to make the class an eighth-grade requirement in 2008, but the effort quickly derailed.)
"It is what the state wants us to do," said Fred Navarro, the district's assistant superintendent of education. "We're really providing an opportunity for more kids to meet higher standards."
Indeed, the state is pushing hard for high numbers.
"The ultimate goal is to have middle schools enroll every student in algebra by the eighth grade and have 100 percent proficiency in the subject," said Karen Anderson, with the state's curriculum and instruction department. "Schools just need to continue being proactively in working towards that goal."
School districts are listening.
Over the past 10 years, Orange County's eighth-grade algebra enrollment has more than tripled, from 14 percent of all eighth-graders in 1999 to about 50 percent in 2009. The passing rate of eighth-graders in algebra tests countywide has also steadily climbed each year, with 56 percent testing proficient in 2009.
Still, that means less than a third of all Orange County eighth-graders achieved passing scores in 2009. (How good are you at algebra? Take our quiz and find out.)
Anaheim Union posted some of the county's highest algebra enrollment rates last year, ranging from 88 percent to 100 percent. But only two schools – Walker and Lexington junior highs – achieved proficiency rates of more than 30 percent. One school, South Junior High, only managed 11 percent.
Navarro said for students who fail, a second year of algebra can provide the support they need to eventually pass the course.
Tustin Unified, even with its success at Utt, has also seen this side of the picture. A.G. Currie Middle School enrolled 90 percent of eighth-graders but scored only 4 percent proficiency.
Mike Barker, Tustin's director of secondary education, said the district is assessing the challenges faced by Currie to ensure better results this year.
Generally, though, the district has a strong record of high enrollment and high success – which it attributes to a deep toolbox of intervention and support strategies. Barker also said that when the district's toolbox doesn't appear to be giving students a fighting chance to pass, they are funneled into other, more appropriate classes.
"Our standard is high and we're basically doing whatever it takes to get students proficient in algebra 1 in eighth grade," Barker said.
He added, though: "There's a small percent of kids that cannot succeed mathematically in it. Failure is not going to be good for them."
A report released last year from the Washington, D.C.-based Brookings Institute suggests that a one-size-fit-all approach to algebra may not work.
The report, "The Misplaced Math Student: Lost in Eighth-Grade Algebra," looked at the more than 120,000 students in the eighth grade nationally who scored in the lowest 10 percent on the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
These students had trouble with simple division and multiplication, and enrolling them in algebra just pushed them further behind, the report concluded.
"The 'democratization of algebra' sounds like a worthy goal, it certainly stems from good intentions," said Tom Loveless, co-author of the report.
"But when a large number of students who don't even know basic arithmetic are placed in classes with students several grade levels ahead of them, the result is bad for the misplaced students, and it's bad for their well-prepared classmates too."
Low enrollment, high proficiency
Irvine Unified's Venado Middle School is an example of the other path schools take.
Principal Keith Tuominen said his staff also tries to enroll as many students as possible. But with 38 percent enrollment in 2009, Venado applied a much tighter standard, and achieved a proficiency rate of 95 percent.
Venado's staff works diligently to identify those kids who are ready and those who may need extra support, he said.
Only one of Irvine Unified's five middle schools enrolled more than half of its students, and all achieved proficiency rates of 95 percent or better.
Some of the lowest algebra enrollments occur in La Habra City School District, where both middle schools enrolled 15 percent of eighth-graders and achieved proficiency rates of 81 and 98 percent.
But their net impact is that less than 15 percent of students move on to high school with algebra under their belt.
Superintendent Susan Belenardo says that's not an issue – the district's job isn't about enrolling vast numbers of students in algebra, it's to ensure all students are properly prepared for high school.
"It's trying to help the children work at a level where they know they will be successful and still keep the rigor of the curriculum," Belenardo said.
In fact, the distirct's algebra classes are usually larger in fall, but shrink as students who struggle are diverted to algebra 1a classes that move at a speed more appropriate to their needs.
"The numbers don't necessarily reflect the quality of the program," she said. "We're really concerned with what the kids are getting. We really want them to build foundational skills that they need."
"If I fail in eighth grade, how ready will i be in high school to try this again?"
Instead, Belanardo said, her approach ensures better results in high school – and she says the local high schools have praised the district's math preparation.
"We're getting them ready for their future ... a test is one moment in time."
Seeking a balance?
Laguna Beach is among a few districts to find a sort of middle ground.
Last year, the district's single middle school enrolled 64 percent of eighth-graders, with 64 percent of them testing as proficient.
Nancy Hubbell, the assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, said the Laguna Beach applies the same assessment techniques noted by Barker and Tuominen, plus some others.
The district gives all students an algebra readiness test created by the Cal State system and is trying out a computer program designed to test kids at their level of skill, and then push them a little beyond.
Many students who aren't placed in algebra 1 are also funneled into an algebra 1a course, where they build their skills. And the district is creating a summer school class to help those students before they start high school.
Beyond all of that, the district does extensive follow-up work. It checks state standardized scores to see if students perform as expected.
A benefit of its highly stable student population allows the district to track students into the district's high school to see how they fare in advanced instruction. Some students who were in the algebra 1a program, she added, ended up taking pre-calculus in high school.
Belenardo also noted -- as did La Habra City -- that algebra 1 enrollments have climbed since last year.
"We do expect our results to be better and better every year, if we stay the course," Hubbell said.

Movie SummaryThe Door in the Floor
Web Site: http://www.thedoorinthefloor.com/home.php Description: Set in the beach community of East Hampton, New York, one pivotal summer in the lives of famous children's books author Ted Cole and his beautiful wife Marion is chronicled. Their once-great marriage has been strained by tragedy. The Coles lovingly parent their surviving child, bright 4-year-old Ruth, who takes everything in stride as perhaps only a child can. But Marion's equation of love with loss, coupled with Ted's infidelities, points towards a much-needed change in the relationship. That may come in the form of Eddie O'Hare, the young man Ted hires to work as his summer assistant--and, Ted hopes, the catalyst to invigorate the Coles' bond of marriage. Eddie idolizes Ted, but Ted's erratic work habits soon leave Eddie to his own devices. Marion becomes an object of desire for Eddie, rekindling in her some surprising emotions as a mother and as a woman. To Eddie's surprise and delight, his yearning is potently reciprocated. As he becomes passionately entwined with the seemingly fragile yet increasingly bold Marion, Eddie comes to realize that, and similarly, Ted's surface fecklessness hides something deeper within. As the summer draws to a close, Marion and Ted must make difficult decisions about the future of their family. Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source

Business Scenarios
Below is a list of possible business uses of the Digital Rights Managenet (DRM) technology.
Using Windows Media Rights Manager, a retail Web site offers consumers the option to preview songs before buying them. The consumer is allowed to download any song and play it two times in exchange for registering with the service. The third time the consumer attempts to listen to the file, he is taken directly to the retailers Web site, where he is given instructions on how to purchase the music. The content owner is able to promote its recording artists and albums on the Internet while cutting down on marketing costs and also to use registration information to strengthen its mailing list.
A content owner creates a digital cinematic experience for consumers similar to cable pay-per-view. A consumer visits a virtual video store, provides registration information and a credit card, and rents a movie to play on her PC. The movie, protected with Windows Media Rights Manager, is streamed to the consumers computer.
An employee was unable to attend a company meeting about a new sales program and now wants to view the briefing. Because the company doesn�t want the information to leak out to its competitors, it has protected the streamed content using Windows Media Rights Manager. When the employee selects the presentation on his office PC, a one-time license for the content is issued silently, and the video begins streaming.
As part of a career development program, an employee is taking a marketing class offered by a major university located out of state. The university has saved videos of all the presentations in the course and, using Windows Media Rights Manager, has encrypted them so they can be streamed or downloaded to students computers after the acquisition of a license. The employee logs in, and a license is sent to her computer. The company uses the license as an attendance record and also for billing purposes.
The Promotional Model allows you to give free samples of your content, while harvesting information such as email, address, age, gender, and location. To access your content the end user must answer a series of questions that you have defined. Only after the end user has entered the information will they be given free access to your content. Even then you have control of the number of plays or time allowed.
Hard file distribution allows you to send out CD or DVD�s to people across the world.When the file is opened and played, the media will prompt the user for a license.
For $10 a month, a consumer visits a web site that allows him unlimited access to a large collection of songs. He downloads a number of songs and plays them as often a he wants. Using Windows Media Rights Manager, the content owner creates a licenses model with start and end dates. For each song the consumer selects, a license that expires on the last day of the months is pre-delivered to him. The next month, he can no longer play them because his monthly license has expired. He is automatically prompted to pay his monthly fee, after which he is issued new licenses that expire on the last day of the next month.
A consumer visits a retail Web site and finds a song she likes. During the purchase process, she is asked to choose the license she desires. For a small fee, she can play the song for one month. For a larger fee, she can play the song forever and transfer the song to a portable device. She chooses the latter. Windows Media Rights Manager issues a license to her with no expiration date that also includes the right to play the file on her portable music device.

If Piers Morgan takes over for Larry King, blame Simon Cowell.
Ordinarily Hollywood's major deals are brokered by CAA, William Morris Endeavor, or ICM, but the former 'American Idol' judge used his own clout to open talks between his 'Britain's Got Talent' pal and the cable news network.
"[Morgan] was under contract to us on 'America's Got Talent,' so he called me and we helped sort of broker the deal," Cowell told ex-girlfriend Terri Seymour on 'EXTRA.'
"Piers is without question the best interviewer I've ever been interviewed by," he said, smartly adding, "apart from you, Terri."
Cowell and Morgan are pals. Both are judges on 'Britain's Got Talent,' and Cowell produces 'America's Got Talent.'
In the EXTRA interview, which is scheduled to run in full on Tuesday night, Cowell also began speculating about who he thought might replace him on 'Idol.'
Can you guess who he said was leading the rumor pack? Harry Connick Jr. What do you think of that? What do you think of Piers on CNN?

The Horse Forum
- Horse Articles
- - Chimera- One in a Million Part 1
Chimera- One in a Million Part 1 I subscribe to a newsletter, and got an email today about a AQHA stallion that is a chimera. Thought it was an interesting read. Here is the article. "Excluded." For the second time Denise Charpilloz had sent in hair from her 2004 foal out of her mare Sharp One for DNA testing and parentage verification. And for the second time, the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at the University of California, Davis, had excluded not only the stallion Dunbars Gold as the foal's sire, but also Sharp One as the foal's dam. Every now and then, people make mistakes when they submit mane (or tail) hair samples for DNA testing on a foal. It usually happens when people accidentally mix hair if they're collecting samples from more than one horse. Although very rare, sometimes mares can actually switch foals or the wrong stallion's semen is unintentionally shipped and used to breed a mare. All those scenarios result in a DNA test that "excludes" a mare or stallion as a foal's parent. Usually it doesn't take long to figure out what went wrong. But "I saw it being born!" Denise says. "I didn't mix it up with any other foals; there were no other foals!" And Dunbars Gold's owner, Carole Dunbar, had only one stallion to ship semen from. AQHA's registration department turned back to the lab's geneticists: could they please give the case another, much closer, look? Puzzling Pattern The case landed on the desk of Dr. Cecilia Penedo, the lab's associate director of service and genomic research and development. Dr. Penedo immediately noticed that Dunbars Gold and Sharp One are brindles. "It's a very rare coat pattern in horses," she says, though it is common in dogs and cattle. "People have not been very successful reproducing this pattern through breeding, and we've never really had much information on the genetics of it because it is so rare." In fact, of the more than 4.7 million American Quarter Horses registered with AQHA (excluding appendix horses), the registration department has a list of only 15 horses who have exhibited some form of the brindle coat pattern. Dr. Penedo began reviewing the lab's testing on the horses. "When I looked up the stallion, Dunbars Gold, I found that we had tested him three times before we established his (DNA) type," Dr. Penedo says. The first two tests the lab ran were on mane and tail hair samples. "At that time, there was something odd about his type," she continues. "It looked like the hair samples came from two different animals, like the hair had been mixed together. We requested a second sample and had the same problem." Convinced the hair samples were getting contaminated, for the third test, the lab requested a blood sample from the horse. "When the blood sample came in, we got a perfectly good type that would be consistent with one animal," she said. The blood test results also had some things in common with the hair results. The lab used the DNA type obtained from blood for the parentage verification on Sharp One's 2004 foal (the first of the stallion's foals to be tested for parentage verification). But in her review, something else caught Dr. Penedo's attention. "The oddest thing about the stallion' blood sample results was that the DNA types for sex-linked markers were typical of a female and not a male," Dr. Penedo says. "There was no evidence of a Y chromosome." Penedo decided to retest Dunbars Gold. "We went back to the original hair samples and used a single hair for the DNA test," she says. "And we performed several of these single-hair tests. "Some of the tests yielded a perfectly good type for a male individual and some a good type for a female individual." Some of the results also showed two DNA types within a single hair root. "At that point, I thought, 'This horse is chimeric,' " Dr. Penedo says. I'll post part 2 as soon as I get it. Here's a pic of Dunbars Gold http://www.thehorse.com/images/conte...news/16691.jpg |
What a beautiful horse and an interesting article! |
That is very interesting. I have always liked Dunbar's Gold, not only because of his color, but also because his conformation looks like the type of horse that you could actually throw a saddle on and use him without fear of him ending up crippled. |
I agree smrobs. I read this article earlier and didnt have the time to respond. If he were a plain bay I would still like him. THAT is what a QH is supposed to look like. |

Created primarily for those who will work in physical activity fields, the third edition of Kinetic Anatomy continues to building on its previous editions to assert itself as the ideal resource for learning structural anatomy and how it affects movement. The text gives students a firm concept of musculoskeletal anatomy by systematically assembling each component of the human body. Layer by layer, readers will study bones, ligaments, joints, and muscles on the bones, as well as the nerves and blood vessels that supply these muscles that are essential for movement. Kinetic Anatomy, Third Edition, includes coverage of three major structures that are not often considered when studying the anatomy of movement: the brain, heart, and lungs. As the centerpieces for the nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems, these structures are essential to human movement and are highlighted throughout the text where appropriate. In addition, other fundamental features make this resource a valuable tool for learning and teaching human anatomy: - A one-year subscription to Musculoskeletal Anatomy Review, an online anatomy program, provides an interactive forum for reviewing regional structural anatomy. - A new chapter on the head completes the regional approach followed in the text. - More information on muscle and motor units helps broaden information on movement potential in selected sport activities. - Expanded discussion on joint strength and movement and the function of muscles (agonists, antagonists, stabilizers, and synergists), levers, and exercise supports understanding of how the human body is constructed. - Full-color photos and illustrations enhance the learning experience. - New Functional Movement Exercises provide students with the opportunity for practical application of their studies by asking them to identify the prime mover, antagonist, fixator, and synergist muscle in a particular movement. - Hands On exercises throughout the book offer students practice in physically identifying anatomical structures on themselves or on a partner. Included with each new text is a key code allowing students one-year access to the online anatomy program Musculoskeletal Anatomy Review. This engaging supplement to the text offers a regional review of structural anatomy with exceptionally detailed, high-quality graphic images--the majority provided by Primal Pictures. Students can mouse over muscles and click for muscle identification, and each chapter features a pretest and posttest evaluation to help students pinpoint knowledge gaps and test their retention. The pretest can be taken multiple times and is generated randomly so it will never be the same, but the posttest may be taken only once. Test results can be printed and turned in so instructors have the option to use the tests as a grading tool. To further facilitate learning, each chapter in the book concludes with a review of the key terms referred to in the chapter, suggested learning activities, and review questions in multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank formats. The answers to the questions are provided at the end of the book. For instructors, a new image bank accompanies the updated instructor guide and test package to aid in delivering the course content. Kinetic Anatomy, Third Edition, is an outstanding introductory resource for those who plan to specialize in any field related to physical activity. Readers will learn what structures are involved in movement and how those structures should function, allowing them to identify problems and correct them to enhance physical activity.Create a review
About Author
Robert S. Behnke, HSD, is retired after 39 years of teaching anatomy, kinesiology, physical education, and athletic training courses. Behnke has been honored on several occasions for excellence in teaching--including receiving the Educator of the Year Award from the National Athletic Trainers' Association. During his 11-year tenure as chair of the NATA Professional Education Committee, he initiated the petition to the American Medical Association that led to the national accreditation process for entry-level athletic training education programs. Dr. Behnke spent most of his career at Indiana State University, where he was a full professor of physical education and athletic training and director of undergraduate and graduate athletic training programs. Earlier in his career he spent five years teaching at the secondary level. He has extensive experience as an athletic trainer, both in high schools and at the university level, serving as head athletic trainer at Illinois State University from 1966 to 1969 and the University of Illinois from 1969 to 1973. He was an athletic trainer at the 1983 World University Games and for the U.S. men's Olympic basketball trials in 1984. During sabbaticals in 1982 and 1989, he served as an athletic trainer for boxing, men's field hockey, team handball, ice skating, roller hockey, gymnastics, judo, and cycling at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. He has been in demand as a speaker and an athletic trainer throughout the United States and internationally. These broad experiences enabled Dr. Behnke to understand the needs of undergraduate students--and to develop an unparalleled grasp of which pedagogical approaches work and which do not. Kinetic Anatomy is the culmination of his unique understanding; it should be a staple in undergraduate courses for years to come.Product Details

This Saturday, the bi-annual Bridesburg Council of Churches Health Fair will provide residents with blood pressure tests, flu shots and free health screenings.
"The more informed you are, the better off you are," explained Barbara Geiger, vice president of the Bridesburg Council of Churches, about the motivation behind planning the fair.
The fair will take place at the Bridesburg Recreation Center, 4601 Richmond St., and will include tables offering health screenings and services from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Craft and flea market tables will also be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Geiger said that eight to 10 medically trained staff from Mercy Health Services will be at the fair this year, answering questions and providing basic medical services free of charge. Rite Aid Pharmacy will also be sending medical staff to provide flu shots.
"Bridesburg is a great community and we just want to bring the community together," Geiger said. "It's not like there's one issue that's plaguing Bridesburg or anything. It's just that maybe they just don't take care of themselves as well as they would if they were better informed."
This is the fourth time the council has organized the health fair in Bridesburg. It was first held eight years ago, Geiger said, and takes place every other year, alternating with the years when Bridesburg community pride week events are scheduled.
All proceeds will be donated to the food pantry at Bridesburg Methodist Church, which provides 10,000 pounds of food each week to over 200 local families. The church is located at 2717 Kirkbride St.
This is the first year that arts, crafts and flea market tables will also be featured at the fair.
Twenty-three local vendors, as well as some from Bucks County and Port Richmond, had been reserved as of Monday, said Carol Socki, a volunteer at the food pantry who is helping to organize the crafts tables and flea market.
Socki grew up in Bridesburg, and her parents lived in the neighborhood for 50 years. While she's moved a little up north, she and her husband still return to Bridesburg regularly to volunteer at the food pantry and other charitable organizations.
About 20 to 25 new families sign up each week to get their groceries at the the food pantry, which opens its doors Tuesdays and Thursdays, she said, and the need is growing.
Giant Food supermarket donates food twice a week, but the food pantry's rising costs include buying food from hunger relief organization Philabundance which the pantry can give away. That's why it needs donated food or money to stay up and running, Socki said.
On Saturday, a kitchen will be serving up food, musicians will perform, and there are rumors that one of the Camden Riversharks' mascots will show up.
"It's better for the community when neighbors can get together to do things and greet other people," Geiger said. "Everyone is in their own little houses, and if you can bring people together to mingle, it draws things together."

Rani Mukherjee's micro mini ka tips
Not content with shedding all those excess kilos and getting into super shape for her role of a cricketer in 'Dil Bole Hadippa', actress Rani Mukherjee is now also trying to entice co star Shahid to take up yoga. This is something which even his former girlfriend Kareena Kapoor could not get him into.
Apparently, Rani has gone even a step further and even offered to lend her trainer to the actor. Incidentally, Rani's trainer trained Kareena during the Tashan days, when the actress was trying to acquire her size zero figure. Talk of connections. Meanwhile, Shahid is believed to be quite open to the offer of going the yoga way as he is looking for something which is more natural and holistic. Of course, the transformation in Rani is proof enough of that. The actress seems to have gambled heavily in 'Dil Bole Hadippa'.
She has done things that she never needed to do in career before, like getting into a bikini. In her time, Rani never needed to resort to all that. But times have changed and it is Rani who needs to lure in the audiences. And so the actress has done everything that she can to match up with today's girls. One hopes for her sake that the film works. It has lots going for it and the icing on the cake should be the presence of Shahid, who is on an all time high after the success of 'Kaminey'. Maybe, Rani's gesture of lending her trainer is just her way of saying 'thank you' to the young actor.

Pectols Pyramid-- East Face | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] | |||
This is a stitch of two photos, and details will be better if you view it in "Orig." Here is the eastern face, with the two summits visible (the one on the right is the higher of the two). From this vantage, the traverse from the southern summit to the northern (higher) one does not look technical, but from other positions, it does. The north ridge (right) appears to be the easiest way to climb the peak, but, despite the appearance here, it becomes technical very quickly and requires some Class 4 and low Class 5 scrambling just to access it.

Born on May 12, 1987, Kieron Pollard belongs to the crop of naturally athletic all-rounded cricketers coming out of the Caribbean and making their mark in domestic T20 leagues around the world. Jaideep Vaidya goes through the nascent career of the supernatural sportsman from Trinidad and Tobago.
There are times when you watch Kieron Pollard on the cricket pitch — hammering sixes or jumping 20 metres in the air to take stunning catches that are physically impossible for anyone else to even attempt — that you can't help but have a doubt whether he is indeed a black reincarnation of Clark Kent. Standing tall at 1.96 metres coupled with a burly physique, not only does Pollard's frame resemble Superman, but he backs his appearance with some spectacular acrobatics and pyrotechnics on the field that leaves you jonesing for more. The only thing missing is a red cape.
Pollard has that inherent ability to flabbergast you with his on-field actions. The power he gets into his shots leave spectators running for cover — that is, of course, if he hasn't clobbered it out of the park. An outstanding fielder, Pollard's brochure of jaw-dropping catches runs into many colourful pages. However, he is as capable of taking a one-handed leaping blinder at long-on as he is of dropping a hat-trick of catches at point. It's that surprise element he brings into the game which funnily makes him such an exciting cricketer to watch.
Pollard is another one of the remarkable rags to riches stories in the world. Born in a poor home in Tacarigua, Trinidad, and raised by a single mom along with two sisters, Pollard didn't have the most comfortable of childhoods as his family struggled to make ends meet. "It was pretty tough," Pollard told the Sydney Morning Herald in an interview. "It wasn't ideal getting up and your mum say 'We only have X amount of money'."
Unlike sports like football where you just need a ball and an open field to play, cricket involves the use of many expensive equipment which Pollard struggled to afford. "It was pretty hard growing up, and we had a lot of sacrifices to make in order to play cricket, because cricket is an expensive game, all the equipment and getting sponsors," he said.
But Pollard persisted with his passion and was supported by his family; soon, he was picked in the West Indies Under-19 squad for the 2006 World Cup and also by Trinidad and Tobago for the Stanford Twenty20 competition. He was to soon hit the headlines when he smashed 83 runs from just 38 balls, including seven sixes, that took T&T to the final. Five months later, he scored a century on First-Class debut, with 86 of his 126 runs coming off boundaries. Nine days later, he was picked in the West Indies squad for the 2007 World Cup in the Caribbean at age 18.
Pollard made his One-Day International (ODI) debut in the biggest competition on the world stage against the South Africans. It wasn't the most fruitful of debuts as Pollard bowled three wicketless overs and scored 10 runs as the West Indies lost by 67 runs. He was to be ignored for the 2007 Twenty20 World Cup, but was recalled to the national setup for an ODI series against New Zealand in 2008.
Pollard's major breakthrough, however, came during the 2009 Champions League T20 where he fired an 18-ball 54 for T&T against New South Wales to announce himself to the world. Pollard went on to score 146 runs in five innings in the competition at a strike-rate of almost 200. So impressed were the Australians with that knock that South Australia quickly swooped in and signed him up for the upcoming Big Bash League. Pollard did not disappoint the Aussie fans as he blitzed his way to 190 runs in six matches and entered the 2010 Indian Premier League (IPL) auction as one of the most sought-after players. After Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore all bid the maximum price of USD 750,000, a 'silent tie-breaker' ensued and it was Team Mumbai that secured his services for the most lucrative domestic T20 league in the world. He had earlier also feature in the Stanford 20/20 Superstars team in a match against England, where he had pocketed a cool USD 1 million.
It was a remarkable story — almost a fairytale. From being a boy in Trinidad who barely had the resources to own a bat, Pollard was a multi-millionaire at 22 and one of the most desired players in the shortest format of the game. Such was his pull that he soon became the only player in the world to play domestic leagues in four different continents.
Anyone who has interacted with the now 26-year-old father will tell you that in spite of his booming popularity and wealth, Pollard does not in any way appear high and haughty. Evidently, what keeps his feet firmly on the ground is his humble past. It's what drives him to achieve more and not get carried away. "For me, getting afforded the opportunity to play cricket , and being able to make a lot of money, that drives me you know, because you don't want to end up in that situation again," he said. "You have family, I have started my own family as well, so it's a matter of me trying to work hard enough to provide for my family so they won't have to go through what I went through when I was growing up, so that's my drive to try to perform and succeed at the highest level."
Perhaps the one blot on Pollard's career card so far is that he hasn't really clicked for the national team as much as he has for domestic teams around the world. At 26, he is a batting all-rounder who is yet to play a Test match, averages 26.95 in ODIs and 20.70 in T20Is. The moolah continues to flow into his coffers playing T20 cricket around the world, but Pollard admits that playing in the whites for the West Indies remains the ultimate dream.
"It sits pretty well with me, but having said that you want to play for your country, you want to play for West Indies, you want to play Test cricket," he said. "Every ultimate goal is to put on that white and walk out with the team, with that Test cap on your head. Twenty20 has made a name for me, but it's a matter of me now transferring that to the 50-over game and trying to get an opportunity to play Test cricket for the West Indies."

Pain Management |
Left Abdominal Area Pain08/09/2007 |
I had a my third c-section eight years ago and I have a sharp constant pain around the left side of the incision and it is hard around it, what can cause this pain? I also have pain in the lower right hip joint, could these be connected?
I am not sure if both pain are connected, the incision pain could be coming for a left suture, or possibly a small neuroma.

As promised we've got some huge news which we broke only mere minutes ago on the main stage of the Brisbane Supanova! Many folks have been very upset that we were unable to have Christopher Lloyd join us at the Brisbane and Melbourne Supanova events (we were upset too!) so we're giving him another chance! We're bringing Christopher back in November to see all his fans!
But more importantly we're giving our brisbane Supa-Fans another complete show! Instead of the one day event that we've run in November for the Cosplay Championships, we're expanding it to be a complete 3 day Supanova event!
Thats right! A full Supanova event with all the exhibitors, events and stars you've come to expect, combined with the grand final of the Madman National Cosplay Championships, November 4 – 6, 2011!
And then a week later in Melbourne, November 12, 2011, we'll be running a smaller event to make sure that all Christopher's fans there don't miss out on a chance to see him either! For the price of an autograph you'll be able to meet Christopher, attend a Q&A and get an autograph included!
That would be exciting enough, but there is method in our madness! There is a a reason why we're adding this new show to the annual lineup and its a DOOZY!
In 2012 the world will end!
Only kidding! But in 2012 we will be adding a whole new tour to the Supanova calendar!
We begin 2012 with our regularly scheduled Melbourne Expo on April 13th to 15th but then the very next week on the weekend of the 2oth to 22nd of April the Supanova family are heading to The GOLD COAST!
Run in conjunction with our traditionally April Supanova event in Melbourne, partnering with the Gold Coast Film Festival and timed to coincide with The Apollo Awards, the Gold Coast Supanova event will be working with the rapidly growing film and TV industry on the Gold Coast and in conjunction with the Brisbane Supanova to make the Queensland expos THE industry events in Australia.
Then in June our East/West tour continues as it has in years past with Sydney Supanova on the 15th to the 17th of June, and then Perth Supanova for the 22nd to the 24th of June.
Then (and this is where it gets really exciting) In November we're back for Brisbane Supanova on November 9th to the 11th followed the next week by a brand new expo: Supanova Adelaide on November 16th to the 18th!
Thats THREE epic tours or SIX huge shows spanning the length and breadth of the country! Each show will include a Friday Preview Night, with Brisbane expanded to encompass Directors Day on the Friday as well.
Sure, by November we're all going to need a bit of a lie-down but thats ok, because we're committed to bring you the best entertainment, the best events and the biggest stars, wherever you are in the wide brown land!
And we've still got to get through this year!
Here's the Supanova 2012 Calendar in one nice, concise, orderly list…
Melbourne, April 14 & 15, 2012 – Melbourne Showgrounds
Gold Coast, April 21 & 22, 2012 – Gold Coast Convention Centre
Sydney, June 16 & 17, 2012 – Sydney Olympic Park
Perth, June 23 & 24, 2012 – Claremont Showgrounds
Brisbane, November 9 to 11, 2012 – RNA Showgrounds
Adelaide, November 17 & 18, 2012 – Adelaide Showgrounds

Ab routine
Eksploruj powiązane tematy
Just doing cardio alone will not get you the definition you need to walk away with a swimsuit award like Miss DC 2016, Cierra Jackson, did at Miss America last weekend. You'll need to build those ab muscles up like you would any other muscle group to see definite results. Add this ab routine into your workout at least three times a week, along with at least 30 minutes of cardio, to build that toned tummy that every pageant girl dreams of.

Hezbully Mahmoud Hayek Charged with Attempt on MP Harb's Life | |
2013-02-02 | |
[An Nahar] State commissioner to the military court Judge Saqr Saqr charged on Friday Mahmoud Hayek with attempted assassination of MP Butros Harb in July 2012.
If convicted the man could be sentenced to death. Harb had said that Hayek refused to appear before the investigative bodies because he is a member of Hizbullah's security apparatus. The Batroun MP escaped earlier in July an assassination bid after residents of a building in which his office is located in the Beirut district of Badaro discovered individuals trying to booby-trap the elevator. A string of high-level assassinations struck Lebanon between 2004 and 2008, targeting political, media and security figures who vocally opposed the Syrian government, including former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri who was killed in a powerful car bomb blast in February 2005. | |

But it's kind of pointless because I've already thought of the winner: Stephen J. Cannell vs. Capcom. You need a franchise with a huge stable of classic action heroes, right? With this you get all four members of the A-Team; The Greatest American Hero; Ken Wahl in Wiseguy; Jim Rockford from The Rockford Files; Fred Dryer in Hunter; Johnny Depp in his 21 Jump Street Days, plus Hardcastle ... and McCormick.Bam, it's like printing money. I can't believe I'm still here pitching this to you and you're not already working on it, Capcom.
