Nikon LD-1000 LED Light
Nikon today announced the new LD-1000 LED light for Nikon 1 system cameras and Coolpix compact cameras. This portable light provides a continuous light source for close-up photography or movie making. Compatible with any camera equipped with a tripod socket, the LD-1000 comes with the SK-1000 bracket and two LS-32 lock screws. The Nikon LD-1000 LED light carries an RRP of £119.99 / €146.00 / $99.95.
Nikon Press Release
LD-1000 LED light—flexible continuous light source
London, UK, 5th September 2013 Nikon today announces the new LD-1000 LED light for Nikon 1 system cameras and COOLPIX compact cameras.
Stylish-looking and exceptionally easy to use, this ultra-portable light provides a continuous light source for close-up photography or movie making. Designed to be used on-camera or off, it's an incredibly handy way to add impact to your images. Use it to help avoid flat-looking photos, soften shadow areas, compensate for backlight or add depth to colours. When shooting movies from close up, the small and lightweight design makes this a great light source to take on location.
Simon Iddon, Senior Product Manager, Nikon 1 Compact System Cameras, Nikon UK, says: "The new LD-1000 LED light is a great way to add a creative touch to photos or movies when shooting from close-up. The fact that you can see the effect of the light before you shoot makes it easy to play with shadows and highlights, and create the kind of images you want. Just as stylish and flexible as the other products that make up the Nikon 1 system, this compact light can be used with COOLPIX cameras too."
What you see is what you get
Using a continuous light source means there's no need to wait until you've taken the shot to see if your lighting ideas work. Unlike working with a flash, you can see the effect of the LED light on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder before you shoot. There's no need to worry about setting the correct flash settings and it's easy to adjust the angle of the LED light to achieve the effect you want.
The angle of the LED light is freely adjustable even when it is attached to the camera, or you can shoot with it off-camera for even more control over the height and distance of the light from your subject. Project the light from below and add depth to the colours of the natural environment when shooting outdoors, or experiment with different ways to light your subject's face. A gentler light source than a flash, this LED light can help capture beautiful portraits, especially of someone not used to having their photograph taken. People won't be distracted by the flash or blink repeatedly because of it, and you can explore angling the light in order to create a glow around someone's face or capture intriguing flickers of light in the eyes
Incredibly simple to use, the light attaches to the tripod socket on the camera and can be easily detached for off-camera lighting. One switch on the back of the light lets you set the strength of the beam to 'high' or 'low', and turn the light 'on' or 'off'. In addition, the light is equipped with a diffuser on the LED window that allows soft, natural-looking shadows and helps reduce strong reflections when photographing shiny subjects.
Nikon 1 style
Available in black or white, this sleek and portable LED light compliments Nikon 1 camera bodies perfectly. Compatible with any camera equipped with a tripod socket, the LD-1000 is also ideal for use with COOLPIX compact digital cameras.
The LD-1000 comes with the SK-1000 bracket and two LS-32 lock screws for attaching the light to the camera's tripod socket.

Certain members of the Republican Party need to stop knocking the current administration's attempts to clean up the messes caused by the previous one and "grab a mop," President Barack Obama said during a Democratic National Party fundraiser in New York on Tuesday night. Obama also urged "all the Democrats who are in the house" to "stay focused" on health care as the battle over reform legislation continues in coming weeks. —KA
The Hill:
The president also noted the support healthcare reform has garnered from big-name Republicans such as the former Senate GOP leaders Bob Dole and Bill Frist.
"You've got a whole bunch of Republicans who are saying 'Yeah we should do this" except those are all retired Republicans – Bob Dole and Bill Frist - and last time I checked they are not socialist," Obama said. "And they think it's important to get this done. That's a model for what everyone needs to be thinking."

Jonathan WildThe real-life Jonathan Wild, gangland godfather and self-styled 'Thief-taker General', controlled much of the London underworld until he was executed for his crimes in 1725. Even during his lifetime his achievements attracted attention; after his death balladeers sang of his exploits, and satirists made connections between his success and the triumph of corruption in high places. Henry Fielding built on these narratives to produce one of the greatest sustained satires in the English language. Published in 1743, at a time when the modern novel had yet to establish itself as a fixed literary form, Jonathan Wild is at the same time a brilliant black comedy, an incisive political satire, and a profoundly serious exploration of human 'greatness' and 'goodness'.

Did anyone really think the Chris Brown/Rihanna/Karreuche Tran saga would die down after yesterday's statement from Breezy that he was splitting with Tran to pursue his "friendship" with Rih Rih? We certainly didn't. And sure enough, earlier today, in a bizarre turn, Brown released a short film clip confessing the love triangle.
The video, directed by David Alan, shows a candid Brown talking to the camera in the back seat of a car, interspersed with pictures of him, Rihanna and Karrueche. "I'm a little drunk so I'm going to be honest," Brown says. "I'm stressed out. You share a history with somebody, then you tend to fall in love with somebody else and it's kind of difficult. Is there a such thing as loving two people? I don't know if it's possible, but I feel like that... I'm being real. I don't want to hurt either. I'm not trying to be a player, I'm not trying be a dog, none of that. My moms raised me different... It's too much sometimes."
If tweets are any judge, Karrueche seemed hurt by Chris's video. An hour after the clip emerged, she tweeted, "Wtf is going on? All I'm saying is...you don't mess with people's genuine feelings. You just don't! Life moves on. So let's all."
The surprisingly candid video also contradicts the tweet Rihanna posted just an hour before, seemingly asking for privacy: "Ain't nobody bidness... but mine and my baby!"

WASHINGTON (AP) — An attorney from Kansas City, Kansas, has been confirmed as a judge of the U.S. District Court in Kansas.
Sen. Jerry Moran said the Senate approved the appointment of Daniel Crabtree on Wednesday. He was nominated by President Barack Obama last August to succeed U.S. District Judge John Lungstrum, who took senior status.
Crabtree is a partner in the Kansas City law firm of Stinson Morrison Hecker. He joined the firm as an associate after receiving his law degree from the University of Kansas School in 1981. He also holds a bachelor's degree from Ottawa University in Kansas.
Crabtree's legal practice has included representation of businesses and government entities in complex civil litigation in federal and state courts.
He's also the general counsel for the Kansas City Royals baseball team.

The article covers the creation of a SSL secured .NET 4.0 HTTP JSON REST web service hosted in a console application (non IIS dependent).
The service also provides a socket policy file server which is required for Adobe flash clients to connect (using as3httpclientlib).
A flash client application (WebServiceSubscribe) is also available for download which demonstrates connecting to the web service. Any other client types can of course connect as well.
The reason I want to share this code is because it has taken a very long time to get to this point. There are many tutorials and code snippets out there on the web about creating a restful service in WCF, but none of them cover all the features that one would actually want to utilize in an internet hosted service - there are just bits and pieces here and there. A lot of them also implement features in strange ways, trying to make WCF do things it just doesn't want to do, or shouldn't do.
A lot of the complexity comes down to the configuration - if this is done properly, things work together nice and simple.
So let's get to it!
The most important part to getting your service up and running is the configuration. The configuration provided by the WCF Rest Service Template 4.0 is just not up to the task as it doesn't provide any config for security or authentication. When you actually want these features, your configuration looks a lot different.
So here is the configuration:
<system.serviceModel> <services> <service name="WtfService.WtfSvc" behaviorConfiguration="WtfServiceBehaviour" > <endpoint address=https://localhost:8000/WtfService binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wtfSslBinding" behaviorConfiguration="WebHttpBehaviour" contract="WtfService.WtfSvc"> </endpoint> </service> </services> <bindings> <webHttpBinding> <binding name ="wtfSslBinding"> <security mode="Transport"> <transport clientCredentialType="Basic" /> </security> </binding> </webHttpBinding> </bindings> <behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior name="WtfServiceBehaviour" > <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/> <serviceCredentials > <userNameAuthentication userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom" customUserNamePasswordValidatorType= "WtfService.WtfUserNamePasswordValidator, WtfService" /> </serviceCredentials> <serviceAuthorization principalPermissionMode="Custom"> <authorizationPolicies> <add policyType="WtfService.WtfAuthorizationPolicy, WtfService" /> </authorizationPolicies> </serviceAuthorization> </behavior> </serviceBehaviors> <endpointBehaviors> <behavior name="WebHttpBehaviour"> <webHttp automaticFormatSelectionEnabled="false" defaultBodyStyle="Wrapped" defaultOutgoingResponseFormat="Json" helpEnabled="true" /> </behavior> </endpointBehaviors> </behaviors> </system.serviceModel>
behaviors.serviceBehaviors ("WtfServiceBehaviour")
bindings.webHttpBinding.binding ("wtfSslBinding")
endpointBehaviors.behavior ("WebHttpBehaviour")
class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { SocketPolicyFileServer server = new SocketPolicyFileServer(); server.Start(); var host = new ServiceHost(typeof(WtfSvc)); host.Open(); Console.WriteLine("The service is ready at {0}", host.Description.Endpoints[0].ListenUri); Console.WriteLine("Press <Enter> to stop the service."); Console.ReadLine(); //Close the ServiceHost. host.Close(); } }
Because we set up everything in the configuration file, instantiating the service is very simple. We just create a new ServiceHost and pass in the type of our service.
The SocketPolicyFileServer is just another service we create to let flash clients connect which serves up a SocketPolicyFile.xml file over TCP port 843. The credit for this socket policy code goes to http://socketpolicyfile.codeplex.com/.
Password validation occurs in a class overriding UserNamePasswordValidator, and is referred to in the config file. This is what it looks like - obviously you would want to query a real database here:
/// <summary> /// Here is where we actually validate the password /// </summary> class WtfUserNamePasswordValidator : UserNamePasswordValidator { public override void Validate(string userName, string password) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(userName) | string.IsNullOrEmpty(password)) throw new ArgumentNullException(); //validate the username and password here against the database if (userName != "John" | password != "Doe") // This throws an informative fault to the client. throw new FaultException("Unknown Username or Incorrect Password"); // When you do not want to throw an informative fault to the client, // throw the following exception. // throw new SecurityTokenException("Unknown Username or Incorrect Password"); } }
Password validation only authenticates the user. But we also want role based access to our web service methods. The first part of solving this is to create our own implementation of the IPrincipal interface like so:
public class WtfPrincipal : IPrincipal { IIdentity _identity; string[] _roles; public WtfPrincipal(IIdentity identity) { _identity = identity; LoadUsersRoles(); } /// <summary> /// we should load up the user's roles from the database here based on username /// </summary> private void LoadUsersRoles() { //run query on db using _identity.Name //then put into _roles _roles = new string[] { "WtfUser" }; } public IIdentity Identity { get { return _identity; } } public bool IsInRole(string role) { if (_roles.Contains(role)) return true; else return false; } public string[] Roles { get { return _roles; } } }
The important part of the above code is to load up the user's roles from a database, and then IsInRole will be called which checks that the user has the relevant role.
To push this IPrincipal into the WCF channel, we do it within the IAuthorizationPolicy which we implement - and again referenced in the config file.
public class WtfAuthorizationPolicy : IAuthorizationPolicy { private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(WtfAuthorizationPolicy)); public bool Evaluate(EvaluationContext evaluationContext, ref object state) { // get the authenticated client identity IIdentity client = GetClientIdentity(evaluationContext); // set the custom principal evaluationContext.Properties["Principal"] = new WtfPrincipal(client); return true; } private IIdentity GetClientIdentity(EvaluationContext evaluationContext) { object obj; if (!evaluationContext.Properties.TryGetValue("Identities", out obj)) throw new Exception("No Identity found"); IList<IIdentity> identities = obj as IList<IIdentity>; if (identities == null || identities.Count <= 0) throw new Exception("No Identity found"); return identities[0]; } public System.IdentityModel.Claims.ClaimSet Issuer { get { throw new NotImplementedException(); } } public string Id { get { throw new NotImplementedException(); } } }
WCF will call into the Evaluate function, and from there we can get the IIdentity, which will among other things, contain the username of the client making the service call. We then wrap this IIdentity in our custom IPrincipal, and set it to the evaluationContext.Properties["Principal"]. Once this is set, WCF will automatically call the IsUserInRole on any PrincipalPermission attributes that we apply to our service class. More information on this and code can be found here.
Next we will take a look at our service class and see how it all comes together. Note that you do not need to apply the OperationContract attributes to the methods, nor do you need to apply DataContract to complex types passed to or returned from the service (e.g. class Person below).
Here is the code:
[ServiceContract] [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)] [ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall)] // NOTE: If the service is renamed, remember to update the global.asax.cs file public class WtfSvc { private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(WtfSvc)); /// <summary> /// Demonstrates http get where parameters are passed in the URL. /// Also requires the user to be in the role of 'WtfUser'. /// </summary> /// <param name="firstName"></param> /// <param name="lastName"></param> /// <returns></returns> [WebGet(UriTemplate = "HelloWorld/{firstName}/{lastName}")] [PrincipalPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Role = "WtfUser")] public string HelloWorld(string firstName, string lastName) { return string.Format("Hello {0} {1}", firstName, lastName); } /// <summary> /// Demonstrates http post where request body contains two parameters /// of simple type. /// Also requires the user to be in the role of 'WtfUser' /// </summary> /// <param name="firstName">comes from the json content of the body /// of the post e.g. "{\"firstName\" : \"John\", \"lastName\" : \"Doe\" }"</param> /// <param name="lastName">comes from the json content of the body of the post /// e.g. "{\"firstName\" : \"John\", \"lastName\" : \"Doe\" }"</param> /// <returns></returns> [WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "HelloWorldPostSimple")] [PrincipalPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Role = "WtfUser")] public string HelloWorldPostSimple(string firstName, string lastName) { return string.Format("Hello {0} {1}", firstName, lastName); } /// <summary> /// Demonstrates http post where request body contains the json string /// representing an object of type Person. /// Also requires the user to be in the role of 'WtfUser' /// </summary> /// <param name="person">comes from the json content of the body of the post ///e.g. "{\"person\":{\"FirstName\" : \"John\", \"LastName\" : \"Doe\" } }"</param> /// <returns></returns> [WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "HelloWorldPostComplex")] [PrincipalPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Role = "WtfUser")] public string HelloWorldPostComplex(Person person) { return string.Format("Hello {0} {1}", person.FirstName, person.LastName); } } public class Person { public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } }
Note that the 'PrincipalPermission' attributes are all we require to secure our methods using role based authorization.
That covers the server side. Next we will look at some configuration issues to get the SSL up and running.
Creating the server certificate is very easy if you are running Windows 7. You can do this from IIS manager (even though we are not using IIS to host it). Follow the steps here:
If you don't have IIS 7.0 to create the certificate, here are some links which show you how to do it with makecert utility:
Detailed steps for this are at the following MSDN article:
But basically, all you need to do is:
netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8000/WtfService user=DOMAIN\user
with your relevant port, service endpoint and credentials.
To get the certification running on a port (in our case port 8000), you need to follow the steps listed in this MSDN article - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733791.aspx (and for the mmc snapin, this one - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms788967.aspx).
Basically, all you need to do is:
netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:8000 certhash=0000000000003ed9cd0c315bbb6dc1c08da5e6 appid={00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF}
where certhash is the hash of the certificate you just created, and appid can be a random guid, or you can just pull it out one in your .NET project properties, assembly info.
That should be all you need to get the SSL side of your service running.
To check that everything is working, you should go to your web browser and test it out by browsing to the URL https://localhost:8000/WtfService/HelloWorld/John/Doe (for the credentials use username John, password Doe).
We get the red cross in crome for the https because it is a self-signed cert.
In order to allow a flash client to connect to the service, it should pretty much be out of the box with as3httpclientlib if you use a certificate signed by a real CA. But we are self-signing, so the as3httpclientlib available at https://github.com/gabriel/as3httpclient is not going to work for you.
as3httpclientlib is built on top of as3cryptolib and as3cryptolib by default does not allow self-signed certificates. But browsing the source code for as3cryptolib I found that there is a configuration option in a class TLSConfig that is used in TLSEngine like so:
// Test first for trust override parameters // This nice trust override stuff comes from Joey Parrish via As3crypto forums var certTrusted:Boolean; if (_config.trustAllCertificates) { certTrusted = true; // Blatantly trust everything } else if (_config.trustSelfSignedCertificates ) { // Self-signed certs certTrusted = firstCert.isSelfSigned(new Date); } else { // Certs with a signer in the CA store - realistically, // I should setup an event chain to handle this certTrusted = firstCert.isSigned(_store, _config.CAStore ); }
So we want to set this config.trustSelfSignedCertificates property to true in as3httpclientlib.
So what you can do, is to download the source for as3cryptolib (you will need the source from svn not the download page as that is out of date) and then compile it.
Then download the source for as3httpclientlib, and replace the as3cryptolib .swc file reference with the one you just compiled (the one as3httpclientlib has in its references is out of date, and does not support this config feature). And then make the following amendment to the class HTTPSocket in as3httpclientlib:
/** * Create the socket. * Create Socket or TLSSocket depending on URI scheme (http or https). */ protected function createSocket(secure:Boolean = false):void { if (secure && !_proxy) { var config:TLSConfig = new TLSConfig(TLSEngine.CLIENT); config.trustSelfSignedCertificates = true; _socket = new TLSSocket(null,0,config); } else _socket = new Socket(); _socket.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, onConnect); _socket.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, onClose); _socket.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError); _socket.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, onSecurityError); _socket.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, onSocketData); }
What you are doing is just to create an instance of TLSConfig and pass it to the TLSSocket constructor. Then compile as3httpclientlib.
Here then is the code that you can use to make your flash client connect to the service and test the functions:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600" applicationComplete="init()"> <fx:Declarations> <!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here --> </fx:Declarations> <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ import com.adobe.net.*; import com.hurlant.util.*; import org.httpclient.*; import org.httpclient.events.*; import org.httpclient.http.*; //settings private var baseUri:String = "https://lacey:8000/WtfService/" //http client private var client:HttpClient; private var request:HttpRequest; private var uri:URI; private function init():void{ //create the http client client = new HttpClient(); client.listener.onStatus = onStatus; client.listener.onData = onData; client.listener.onComplete = onComplete; client.listener.onError = onError; } private function onStatus(event:org.httpclient.events.HttpStatusEvent):void{ } private function onData(event:org.httpclient.events.HttpDataEvent):void{ this.txtResult.text += "\n" + event.readUTFBytes(); } private function onComplete(event:org.httpclient.events.HttpResponseEvent):void{ } private function onError(event:org.httpclient.events.HttpErrorEvent):void{ } protected function btnPostSimple_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { //call hello at service uri = new URI(baseUri + "HelloWorldPostSimple"); var data:ByteArray = new ByteArray(); data.writeUTFBytes("{\"firstName\" : \"John\", \"lastName\" : \"Doe\" }"); data.position = 0; request = new Post(); request.contentType = "application/json"; request.body = data; request.header.add("Authorization", "Basic " + Base64.encode("John:Doe")); client.request(uri, request); } protected function btnPostComplex_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { //call hello at service uri = new URI(baseUri + "HelloWorldPostComplex"); var data:ByteArray = new ByteArray(); data.writeUTFBytes ("{\"person\":{\"FirstName\" : \"John\", \"LastName\" : \"Doe\" } }"); data.position = 0; request = new Post(); request.contentType = "application/json"; request.body = data; request.header.add("Authorization", "Basic " + Base64.encode("John:Doe")); client.request(uri, request); } protected function btnGet_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { //call hello at service uri = new URI(baseUri + "HelloWorld/John/Doe"); request = new Get(); request.header.add("Authorization", "Basic " + Base64.encode("John:Doe")); client.request(uri, request); } ]]> </fx:Script> <s:Button id="btnGet" x="34" y="28" label="Get" click="btnGet_clickHandler(event)"/> <s:TextArea id="txtResult" x="33" y="68" width="294" height="257"/> <s:Button id="btnPostSimple" x="122" y="28" label="Post Simple" click="btnPostSimple_clickHandler(event)"/> <s:Button id="btnPostComplex" x="229" y="28" label="Post Complex" click="btnPostComplex_clickHandler(event)"/> </s:Application>
Note that our project needs references to as3httpclientlib, as3cryptolib, and as3corelib .swc files.
And that's that. :)
I initially thought of implementing a custom authentication method on top of WCF rather than using SSL so I could avoid the SSL handshake and so save a bit of bandwidth (and also the trouble with getting things working from flash). I pretty much had the whole thing implemented including HMAC, RSA, AES and it was a pretty robust solution.
The problem was I could only encrypt content back from the server to the client, and not from the client to the server. This is due to implementing encryption inside a MessageEncoder in WCF (similar to here), which cannot access the HTTP headers on the ReadMessage side due to the message not being created yet. I realised the only way to do it properly would be to create an entire Transport channel implementation, which would just be getting ridiculous. I could have implemented a handshake and put AES session keys in a static class (which by itself is messy), but then I'm using a handshake, so I may as well use SSL and make things MUCH MUCH simpler. Which is what I did.
I hope this article helps you to get started with REST in WCF. I don't know about the rest of you but I like to get on with the coding of the business logic rather than messing around with the technology implementation, as a huge amount of time can be wasted without achieving anything of value, i.e., now that I have got all this up and running, I still have to develop the functionality of the web service I set out to build in the first place. ;) Hopefully this saves others from wasting their time.

Cook potatoes in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain. Cool 15 minutes. Peel while still warm, then cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Transfer to medium bowl.
Meanwhile, cook bacon in medium skillet over medium-high heat until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add onion; reduce heat to medium-low. Sauté onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add broth and vinegar; bring to boil.
Pour hot dressing over potatoes; toss gently. Fold in 1/2 cup chives. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand until broth mixture is absorbed, occasionally tossing gently, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle salad with 1/4 cup chives. Toss gently and serve.

The U.S. Senate approved a bill Friday to transfer ownership of the lodge from the federal government to the state. The feds have been in control of the lodge because its on a national wildlife refuge. Local folks, as well as lawmakers pushed for a bill to give control to the state, since nothing was being done to restore the building. That's a multi million dollar project. The nearly 70 year old lodge sits on Lake Mattamuskeet, the largest natural lake in North Carolina.

This 3 tiered cake was made for Holy Cross Prep School's Summer Ball, and was auctioned for charity.
The layers are Vanilla, Chocolate, and Lemon and the tiers are based on different elements of the school uniform. It also includes sugar models of popular instruments and sports played at the school, as well as a Maypole at the top, which they specifically requested!
The middle tier is based on the summer dress (held up next to the cake in the second pic) and the base tier on the winter skirt, which is a kilt.
I was absolutely THRILLED to find out that it raised £615!!!

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) |
Erection problem10/14/2008 |
Hi I have had erection problems for about 2 years now. I did not discuss with my doctor until last august and he prescribed viagra. This works but removes any spontaneaty from sex. Over the past 2 years, at the same time I had lower back/leg pain issues, which were eventually diagnosed as being sciatic nerve problems caused by a herniated disc in my sacreum area. This eventually led to me having part of the disc removed to free the crushed nerve in August this year. I still have erection issues, mainly that my erections aren`t always hard enough for penetration, or on the ocassion they are, they don`t last. Are the 2 problems I`ve had linked i.e. could the crushed nerve in my lower back have caused the erection issues? If so, can I expect my erections to return once I`m fully recovered from the operation (and how long should this take?)? Many thanks.
It is not clear if the back problems are or were related to the erection problem. You might want to seek out a neurologist and have EMG (Electromyography) testing done. Even then, the answer may still be elusive. For a more spontaneous sexual experience, you can change to daily Cialis, either 2.5 or 5 mg. Talk to your doctor.

For half a century, the Callier Center for Communication Disorders has been dedicated to helping children and adults with speech, language and hearing disorders connect with the world. We transform lives by providing innovative, cutting-edge therapy; engaging in pioneering research into the causes, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of communication disorders; and training the next generation of outstanding clinical providers.
The Callier Center began through the generosity of Mrs. Lena E. Callier.
Hearing loss had a profound effect on Lena Callier, a native Texan who enjoyed a socially active life with her husband, Edward. But as her hearing declined, so did her enthusiasm for participating in social and recreational activities. Mrs. Callier's once-thriving and active life soon became very isolating and frustrating. The hearing loss had such an impact on her life that she made a commitment to herself to do all she could to prevent others from experiencing the same fate. In 1950, Mrs. Callier established a trust for the purpose of alleviating the effects of hearing loss, as well as speech and language disorders. After her death in 1957, the trust from Mrs. Callier's estate was used to establish the Callier Hearing and Speech Center, which was incorporated as a non-profit, community-based institution in 1963. Her legacy lives on. Fifty years later, the Callier Center has grown into the foremost speech, language and hearing resource for North Texas, and is one of the most renowned such centers in the nation. |
Formative Years:
50 Years of Caring:
1971 |
The deaf-education program at the Callier Hearing and Speech Center becomes part of the Dallas County/Dallas ISD public school deaf education program. Many program components, including the deaf-education preschool, continue to be located on the Callier Center campus. |

The PhD program in Communication Sciences and Disorders begins at Callier with faculty paid through contract from The University of Texas at Dallas. |
1975 |
The Callier Center becomes a component of the University of Texas at Dallas School of Human Development (later renamed the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences). The audiology and speech-language pathology undergraduate and graduate programs begin enrollment. |
1977 |
The Child Development Program launches, serving children ages 3 to 5 in the initial program. |
1984 |
The Preverbal Program is the first program at the Callier Center designed for children with autism. |
1986 |
The Child Development Program receives accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and continues to receive accreditation to this day. |
1991 |
The cochlear implant program is created as a collaboration between the Callier Center, UT Southwestern Medical Center and Children's Medical Center. The first child in North Texas receives a cochlear implant. |
1996 |
Twelve campers attend the first Cochlear Implant Summer Listening Camp held through the generosity of the Crystal Charity Ball. Today, more than 60 campers attend. |
2003 |
The Callier Center expands to include a second location on The University of Texas at Dallas campus in Richardson. |
2008 |
The Callier Center, UT Southwestern Medical Center and the Center for Brain Health enter a collaboration called the Crystal Charity Ball Autism Project (generously funded by the Crystal Charity Ball) which combines the expertise of clinicians and researchers to provide coordinated assessment, intervention, research, and support for children on the autism spectrum and their families. |
2009 |
The University of Texas at Dallas launches its first comprehensive campaign, Realize the Vision: The Campaign for Tier One & Beyond. Callier's goal is to raise $8 million of the total $200 million goal. |

NASA Wants You To Believe Water(Ice) Is On Another Planet Again
A moon of Saturn is covered in snow! Well, they think so anyway. They believe that there are tiny ice crystals spewing from underground and falling back tot he surface of the moon. The result is about 300 foot deep of super fine snow. It's probably ash or something like they always seem to end up finding, but who knows! I want to believe.

Stephanie's Wrap
One of the most beautiful garter stitch designs on Ravelry is Color Affection by Veera Valimaki. I have admired it for a long while, and I wanted to make a crocheted wrap inspired by Veera's design. So, here is Stephanie's Wrap.
The wrap incorporates a lot of striping and short rows. It is 82 inches in length (208cm) by 16 inches at the widest point (40.6cm) after blocking. The stitch used throughout the design is the US single crochet.
I used Madelinetosh Tosh Lace to make Stephanie's Wrap, and each hank has 950 yds (868m). Three colors were used, and I have done my best to estimate the yardage needed for each color. MC (800 yds), CC1 (500 yds), CC2 (600 yds)
The pattern pdf includes 5 photos.
Please send me a message if you have any questions about this design.
9/17/14: Stephanie's Wrap is now available in French! Many thanks to accrochet for translating this pattern.

My daughter lives in East Tennessee near the Virginia state line (and I live in Virginia). She has the advantage of no income tax and she drops across the line into Virginia to shop with a low sales tax. Also, living here is cheap.

Looking to move IL to TN
Congrats to the OP for having the guts to make a positive change in your life. We would welcome you and your family to Tn. More people need to take control of their lives and migrate to places more friendly to the US Constitution, be it here or some other gun friendly states.

The Chattanooga area is prime I think. But i am a little bias. The inner city is rough, but suburbs are great. Atlanta, Knoxville, and Nashville are all 2 hrs away or less. Nice mountains surrounding the city and plenty of cheap land and low cost of living.

I recently traveled to Nashville. Before going, I checked the Tennessee laws at handgunlaw.us, and found some restrictions troubling.
1. There seems to be a restriction on having a round chambered in a vehicle. 2. Ambiguous laws on carrying in TVA areas and Land Between the Lakes. I think I misread the restriction in city parks and trails. Seems okay there now that I re-read the info. Anyway, I left my gun at home for the trip. I survived. Missouri looks a lot better!

No restriction on having a round chambered inside your vehicle in a handgun IF you have the HCP.
There are no restrictions on carry inside places like the Land Between the Lakes or any park as long as you have a HCP. Everything depends on the HCP. There are local restrictions on park carry which generally mean parks inside the city, not state parks, national parks, national forests, WMA's and so forth. BUT, you can not shoot in national forests (all WMA's in TN as far as I know) except at ranges, during hunting season if you have the required permit for that WMA, or for self defense. Basically, you can't take a walk in the woods in a WMA carrying a 22 rifle and plink while you are there legally. That particular rule needs to change. |

I've looked at the reciprocity maps and determined that I basically don't need any out-of-state permits. There are times when it's good to be from Arkansas!

Mike Madigan, Pat Quinn, and Rahm Emanuel can keep their mess. It's too bad, because the people of Illinois are okay, they just make stupid choices when it comes to politicians.

Should you find yourself on the western end of TN, come see us in AR. We'll recognize y'all's permit! (Oh, and be sure you understand the correct usage of "y'all." It's a very important word in both TN and AR.)

TN is on my short list of states to move to, from IL. IL makes many states look very good by comparison.
I'm close to retirement, and will be on a fixed income. So taxes are important to me. TN looks pretty good since they don't tax income, or pensions, or SS. The sales tax you control by simply not spending as much money on buying things. KY is a bit higher in tax bite, but has very good gun laws. MO is a little rougher on taxes, they even tax SS and pensions, but have exemptions. I have more research to do. I've worked in KY, but haven't been to TN yet. I will fix that later this year. KY is a beautiful state, and I've heard the same about TN. Of course, among IL's other faults is it's built like a pool table. The only high things are crime and taxes. We are #1 in governors serving time, though. WooHoo, we're number one!! I am ready to move. I already know the difference between y'all and all y'all. I learned that in KY. LOL |

I've had enough crime to last me the rest of my life, so what are the low crime areas of TN?
I assume out of any major city, like everywhere else? I lean more towards a rural setting anyway, small town anyway. |

Yet another feel-good sports comedy about a childish grownup who gets a shot at redemption while coaching kids, "Rebound" scores a few chuckles while following a familiar game plan. Despite marquee allure of franchise player Martin Lawrence, however, lightweight Fox release isn't likely to break any B.O. records during theatrical preliminaries.
Yet another feel-good sports comedy about a childish grownup who gets a shot at redemption while coaching kids, "Rebound" scores a few chuckles while following a familiar game plan. Pic has been drafted as family-friendly counterprogramming against opening weekend of Steven Spielberg's dark and stormy "War of the Worlds." Despite marquee allure of franchise player Martin Lawrence, however, lightweight Fox release isn't likely to break any B.O. records during theatrical preliminaries. But it's reasonably safe to expect a solid performance in homevid playoffs.
Lawrence is funniest when most ferocious in early scenes as Roy McCormick, a fiery-tempered college basketball coach — think Bobby Knight, with a better fashion sense — who devotes entirely too much time to commercial endorsements. When he does focus on hardwood action instead of TV huckstering, he's a hotheaded screamer who never met a ref he didn't loathe. But when he accidentally kills a rival team's feathered mascot during a courtside altercation, McCormick finds that even a celebrity coach isn't immune from being suspended by the National College Basketball Assn. (Evidently, no real-life college sports authority deigned to lend its name to filmmakers.) Advised by his semi-sleazy agent (Breckin Meyer) to attempt a radical image makeover, Lawrence agrees to accept a short-term coaching job at any school where he can "give something back to the community" — and, not incidentally, generate good publicity while redeeming himself in eyes of NCBA officials. But the only school willing to risk his presence on campus is Lawrence's childhood alma mater, Mount Vernon Junior High, where the hapless hoopsters haven't won a game since the Reagan administration. Among the underachieving 13-year-olds playing for the sparkless Mount Vernon Smelters: Keith (Oren Williams), a talented but untrained ball hog; One Love (Eddy Martin), a dandy who dreams of shoe-endorsement contracts; Goggles (Gus Hoffman), who sports really, really big glasses; Fuzzy (Logan McElroy), a poster boy for Overeaters Anonymous; and Ralph (Steven Anthony Lawrence), a nervous type who tends to upchuck before, during and after every game. It took no fewer than five credited writers to cobble together a scenario composed entirely of secondhand parts. Some may suspect helmer Steve Carr didn't work from a script at all but instead merely ticked items off a list of sports-movie cliches: Players are demoralized losers easily transformed into unlikely winners? Check. Blustering coach gradually reveals a heart of pure mush? Ditto. Attractive single mom (Wendy Raquel Robinson) overcomes initial dislike of son's new coach to strike romantic sparks? Got it. Climatic junior high championship game just happens to coincide with coach's must-attend meeting with college officials? Done. The ultimate outcome of McCormick's third-act choice between a return to college coaching and a permanent job at Mount Vernon will surprise … well, actually, no reasonably sentient human being. Indeed, coach's change-of-heart value shift is so thoroughly predictable, filmmakers obviously felt they didn't need to dramatize it. So they merely announce it. Modest pleasures of "Rebound" have almost nothing to do with by-the-numbers plot. Lawrence wisely refrains from pushing too hard in easy-to-overplay role, and he's all the more effective for his relative restraint. (Unfortunately, his jokey cameo bit as an inspirational preacher adds nothing to pic.) Two new team players — fearsomely tomboyish Big Mac (Tara Correa) and awkward six-footer Wes (Steven Christopher Parker) — are cleverly conceived characters played by promising newcomers. (That these opposites attract is a sweet touch.) Other standout supporting players include Megan Mullally (of TV's "Will & Grace") as the sharp-tongued principal and Amy Bruckner and Alia Shawkat as Mount Vernon students whose enthusiastic play-by-play commentary is pic's best running gag. Horatio Sanz (as McCormick's assistant coach) and Patrick Warburton (as a rival school's rabid coach) appear sporadically in roles evidently diminished in the editing room. Tech values are generally unremarkable, but Carr makes creative use of neo-retro screen wipes to signal scene changes. Pic includes several plugs for "The Best Damn Sports Show Period," Fox Sports Net series whose star commentators — Tom Arnold, Bryan Cox, Chris Rose and John Salley — are credibly cast as themselves.Rebound

As has become customary when the political left and right grapple with issues confronting our nation, the current debate about firearms is entirely uneven. By that I mean that the left and right are arguing two completely different cases in this debate. On the left the argument about the necessity to implement more gun control laws demonstrates a stunning lack of understanding of the nature of criminal gun violence in America. On the right the argument about preserving the constitutional right to bear arms is necessary and prudent, although as a reasoned position it is not breaking through and convincing liberals to rethink their positions.
We can summarize the left's thoughts on this matter by referring to Piers Morgan's one-note-samba question, "Why does anyone need an assault weapon?" and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's rhetorical line, "You don't need ten bullets to kill a deer." In the wake of the Newtown horror, the left's analysis of this tragedy is that what allowed the evil killer to do his dirty was his heavy duty weaponry and his possession of far too many bullets. Over and again, liberals up to and including President Obama have been lecturing America that we must have gun control now that limits military style weapons and large capacity magazines in order to mitigate another mass shooting. As the left blames guns and bullets for violent crime, they liken anyone possessing a firearm–no matter how law-abiding, patriotic, or trained in the safe usage thereof–to wicked and depraved thugs who with corrupt hearts and minds commit evil against innocents. The left recognizes as President Obama told us in his 2013 State of the Union speech that government "actions will not prevent every senseless act of violence in this country" (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57569084/full-text-obamas-2013-state-of-the-union-address/?pageNum=7), yet as collectivists they believe that national retribution must be paid for Newtown, and therefore all gun rights should be infringed in spite of the Constitution and limited irrespective of the efficacy of such limitations.
The left is shockingly limited in its view of the problem, refusing to address the underlying conditions which led to Newtown: The killer's mental health problems, his psychological diet of violent video games, a broken home, and a parent who lacked the wisdom to keep her firearms out of her son's access. The left also ignores the basic fact that there was no security to speak of at Sandy Hook Elementary. To ask the left to describe how a ban on assault weapons and a limitation on the number of bullets that a person may possess would actually work to prevent another Newtown is to elicit little more than a regurgitation of their tired talking points. They have no empirical answer to that question because in fact there is none.
On the right, scholars and laymen alike recognize that the reaction to Newtown in the form of loud calls for gun control are in fact a threat to Second Amendment rights and by extension a threat to personal liberty in America. We too are disgusted and dismayed with the sickening nature of this crime, yet we are willing to acknowledge that the Newtown killer would no sooner respond righteously to any new gun laws than he did the existing ones at the time of his rampage. Of course, those of us on the right want to stop mass shooting and other gun related violence. Yet we know that the more gun control laws are enacted, those adversely impacted by the restrictions embedded in such legislation will not be the criminal element rather they will be the tens of millions of law-abiding, responsible gun owners who have no history of or desire to commit murderous acts. Impose a million gun control laws and the bad guys by their bad nature will still ignore the gun laws and will continue to do the bad things with guns that they intend to do.
Furthermore, if we pursue increasing restrictions gun rights, the left will ensure that our population becomes increasingly susceptible to the possibility of tyranny as an unintended consequence. A hard tyranny might not imminently descend across our great nation if the gun control advocates have their way, however we on the right know that tyranny creeps up on society incrementally. Thus, an assault weapons ban now would be a gateway to a potential handgun ban next year, a hunting rifle ban in five years, to a total outlawing and forced confiscation of all firearms in a decade. At such a point, we would say goodbye to our liberty and might just as well hang signs at our ports of entry "Welcome to the United Socialist States of America."

"Love heals all wounds and not just time alone."
– Jeff Buckley
When things get bad, I turn to music. Better than anything else, music hits the system immediately. It can transport you to a whole other world, away from your problems and worries. Or, it can give you a shoulder to cry on, wrapping you in a comforting blanket of prose.
My music of choice when I'm down is anything by Jeff Buckley.
His angelic voice tells me it's OK, that's he's been there, too, and that it'll get better.
Fellow music fans can concur – when you're down, there's nothing quite like music to soothe the soul.
That's why I've been so proud to see the various benefit concerts that have popped up in response to the devastating tornado in Smithville.
Not only are these events raising money and collecting much-needed donations, but they're offering up music by some of the area's best talent.
The first one was Picking Up the Pieces at Goodtime Charlie's in Tupelo.
Organizer Brandy Michelle pulled the day-long concert together in basically 24 hours. It was a whirlwind of activity for her: bands dropped out and new ones were added on, even on the day of the show. Donations were dropped off, and Michelle herself made a trip to Smithville to survey the damage and to sign up to volunteer.
The concert raised just under $2,000.
The next benefit show is tonight, at the Park Heights rooftop.
Hosted by Greg Dillard, Relief from the Rooftop will feature the music of artists like Dillard's band Busted Screen Door, Matt Nolan, Eric Stogner, Kevin Waide, Pay Per Blues, Tara Priest and John West, and plenty more.
The show begins tonight at 7 p.m.
I've covered Dillard enough that I shouldn't have been surprised to hear about his latest benefit show. He's hosted similar concerts in the past, all benefitting St. Jude Children's Hospital.
It's folks like Dillard ad Michelle that make me proud of the musicians, and music fans, in Northeast Mississippi.
Not only is this area covered with talented musicians and diehard music fans, but they all know how to put the talent in this area to good use.
Hopefully Relief from the Rooftop will be just as successful as Picking Up the Pieces.
Hopefully plenty of money will be raised and lots of donations will be collected.
Hopefully anyone affected by the tornado can find solace in the music.

Ange's World Cup warning for Lucas Neill
Ange Postecoglou is unfazed by the growing crisis at one of the Socceroos' World Cup venues which is tipped to be dropped by FIFA later this week after construction work at Curitiba stadium fell way behind schedule.
Australia are scheduled to face Spain at the unfinished stadium on June 23 and speculation has been growing in Brazil that FIFA are about to axe the venue from World Cup fixtures after it again failed to meet yet another deadline for building work.
But today Socceroos coach Postecoglou was unworried about any switch of plans and was focused only on preparing for the tournament as a whole.
"We'll play in the car park if we have to," he said at today's launch of the new Nike Socceroos kit in Sydney. "We can only control what we do and our emphasis is on making sure we are ready for the first game and ready for three games wherever they are played.
"I'll be surprised if there is a change in venue. I was there in December and the stadium was almost complete then, but we'll deal with what we have to. In terms of our planning, nothing really changes. It doesn't really affect us until we get there.
"There's plenty to do between now and then on other things. I reckon with most major tournaments there's usually some dramas. It's part of the story of any major tournament so I won't lose too much sleep over it."
The former Melbourne Victory and Brisbane Roar coach has just returned from a scouting mission to Europe as he prepares for next month's World Cup warm up against Ecuador where Australia will wear the new 70s-style kit in action for the first time.
But he insisted he was still keeping an open mind on who will take their seat on the plane to Rio...although game-time is vital for anyone wanting to be considered.
Roos skipper Lucas Neill was notable by his absence at today's kit launch, with Mark Bresciano and Michael Zullo modelling the new retro kit in the flesh, while pics of stars like Tom Rogic, Tim Cahill, Tommy Oar, Mathew Leckie and Mark Milligan flashed up on big screens.
And Postecogou left his captain - currently clubless and training with Blackburn Rovers and recently playing for their U21 side - in no doubt about what was needed for him to force his way into squad consideration.
"My main priority is that all our players are playing so whether that's Lucas or anyone else, that's going to be a key thing going into a World Cup," he said. "You don't want to go into a World Cup under done - whether that's individuals or the group as a whole. The more players we have playing regularly and playing well, the happier I am."
And he hinted that he has options in mind to draft in as replacements for anyone who fails to make the grade.
He added: "On my trip overseas, most of the players I was looking at were playing football and playing good football so that made me pretty optimistic about what lies ahead."
Some of those options may find themselves in the squad for the friendly against Ecuador, with Postecoglou tipping a new look to the Socceroos squad for the game in London. Injuries to Robbie Kruse and Rhys Williams have also forced the coach to look at alternatives across the park.
"They were a big blow," Postecoglou admitted. "For the guys personally, the Word Cup is a special time. Every player wants to be involved. Certainly Robbie and Rhys were a big part of what we were building and more importantly they were playing some fantastic football.
"Obviously from a playing perspective for the team, it's a blow, but it gives the opportunity for somebody else. We've got the March game against Ecuador and we'll be announcing that squad next week.
"I'm really excited about the way we are putting things together. The Ecuador game gives us the chance to try a few things. Certainly I think the team will have little bit of a different look for that game.
"It's probably my last opportunity to try a few things and build the team I want to build so we'll use that game for that sort of exercise and then make some decisions about the World Cup squad beyond that.
"We'll keep an open mind. At the moment, I don't want to rule anyone out because there are some footballers both here and abroad who are starting to play some good football and I want to encourage them to continue to play well and make my decision really difficult."

Las Vegas Sands (LVS) shares rebounded after hours despite initially falling, as the company missed analysts' earnings and revenue expectations. Shares were recently up about 0.6%.
LVS posted 46 cents of earnings per shares, 13 cents below expectations. Revenue of $2.7 billion missed expectations for $2.9 billion. Las Vegas Sands was hit by weakness in some casino games in Singapore, as well as mixed results in Macau. Other casino companies have also been affected by weakness in Asia.
"Despite low hold on table games play at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, our financial results reflect strong revenue growth and cash flow for the quarter," said Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson.
Earlier today, Susquehanna analyst Rachael Rothman noted that LVS appears to be gaining market share in Macau.
"LVS market share of 20.5% was an improvement from 3Q's 19.2% and slightly better than our 19.9% forecast for 4Q12. The result is encouraging and supports our thesis of continued market share gain commensurate with the ramp of Sands Cotai Centra."

Vidya Balan says no to films with Emraan Hashmi
The Dirty Picture actor is offered two films opposite the serial kisser. But she isn't jumping with joy to sign on for them
Ever since the unlikely pair of Vidya Balan and Emraan Hashmi got raves for their smoldering chemistry in The Dirty Picture, filmmakers have flocked outside their respective condos to sign them on together. Maybe there are more projects in store for them together, but as of now we know two filmmakers who are trying very hard to get the TDP actors into the same frame again. One is Vishal Bhardwaj (for Daayaan) and the other is Rajkumar Gupta (for Ghanchakkar). Contrary to reports, Vidya hasn't said no to either to the Saat Khoon Maaf director or the No One Killed Jessica maker's next films. Click here to read more -

Europe's Airbus grabbed a record order worth $US24 billion ($23.1 billion) at list prices from Indonesian budget carrier Lion Air on Monday, shaking arch-rival Boeing's grip on one of the world's fastest-growing airlines.
The blockbuster order for 234 medium-haul jets underscored the rise of a powerful new breed of Asian carrier and was immediately hailed for its impact on European jobs in contrast to turmoil over a disputed bailout to Cyprus.
"Thanks to this contract, Airbus will be able to secure 5000 jobs over 10 years," French President Francois Hollande said at an ornate signing ceremony at the Elysee Palace.
Hollande, whose approval ratings have sunk to around 30 per cent amid worries about unemployment, oversaw the deal before leaving for talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on further industrial co-operation modelled on Europe's planemaker.
The contract, as reported earlier by Reuters, trumped a record deal Lion Air had struck with Airbus's US rival Boeing in front of President Barack Obama in 2011.
The planemakers are locked in a battle for global orders in the 150-seat category estimated at $US2 trillion over 20 years.
Indonesia's Lion Air has been rapidly expanding its fleet to meet the need for medium-haul jets in the world's fourth most populous country, an archipelago of 17,000 islands.
Co-founder Rusdi Kirana said he would use the aircraft to start up new airline ventures underpinned by Asia's growth.
He also told Reuters in an interview that Indonesia's top domestic airline would aim for a stock market listing in 2015 after ditching the plan due to market volatility a year ago.
"What will I do with them? I will set up new airlines in other countries, in the Asia-Pacific region," Kirana said.
He dismissed concerns about Asia's ability to absorb large quantities of new aircraft such as over 200 Boeings already ordered by Lion Air and hundreds of Airbus aircraft destined for Malaysian rival AirAsia.
Thanks to this contract, Airbus will be able to secure 5000 jobs over 10 years
"People who say that don't understand the market in Asia," he said. He also rejected industry speculation that newly ordered planes would be used to set up a leasing business.
Still, the purchase is likely to inflame a battle for supremacy between Lion Air and AirAsia, the low-cost carrier founded by Malaysian entrepreneur Tony Fernandes.
Lion Air is about to start up a domestic Malaysian rival to AirAsia, which has long been exclusively an Airbus operator. Some industry watchers have warned of a potential price war.
Fernandes could not be reached for comment on the deal but lost no time in trumpeting the success of his own group's Indonesian operations on his personal Twitter feed.
Shares in EADS fell 1.8 per cent on Monday, reflecting a wider market reaction to the latest developments in Europe's financial crisis. The stock has surged 42 per cent this year, helped by demand for fuel-saving jets and a higher dividend.
The massive Airbus order comes after a three-year courtship of Lion Air, long seen as a fortress for Boeing.
Lion Air's order includes 109 A320neo and 65 A321neo planes - with the neo designating the newest fuel-saving type of the narrow-body jets - as well as 60 current-generation A320 planes.
EADS strategy chief Marwan Lahoud told Reuters the deal was properly financed, making use of European export credits "in normal proportions". Lion Air used a similar system of US export credit guarantees to finance its large Boeing order.
A source close to Boeing said no single manufacturer could have met Lion Air's entire fleet needs and that the planes ordered from Airbus would not displace any in Boeing's pipeline.
While below a recent peak, airplane demand remains robust as airlines and lessors modernise fleets in a bid to drive down fuel costs, while emerging markets continue to grow strongly.
In deals totalling $US35 billion, Germany's Lufthansa last week ordered 102 Airbus and Boeing jets, Turkish Airlines picked up 82 from Airbus and Ireland's Ryanair is expected to sign for some 170 Boeings on Tuesday.
The values represent official prices but, in practice, strategic airlines win significant discounts for big orders.

I would like to see a utilization comparison between 12.1 SEPM installed on a windows XP box and a server box. This would help IT departments to develop and improve the security infrastructure. The need of tools and reports to sell the purchase of new equipment is hard to find and for small companies it is imperative. These tools could help to convince upper management to make the purchases needed to be more secure and up to date.
Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 vs McAfee and Trend Micro
Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 vs McAfee and Trend Micro -- Antivirus Performance on VMWare ESX Virtual Environments.
The report is from Tolly which is a Independent group. Recently there has been many questions raised whether SEP 12.1 is as competitive as new versions of McAfee and Trend based on McAfee MOVE technology and other features.
This document gives you a brief Idea where SEP 12.1 stands in comparison to McAfee and Trend with respect to Performance on VMware ESX servers.

Thanks for sharing, but take results with pinch of salt - comparing apples with pears - similar but not he same - you should also consider IO not over the large period of time, but how long it stresses each VM for and what impact this has.
We got our fingers burnt with SEP 11.x active scans within our VDI environment, glad to see vendors are looking at virtualisation more and should all be sorted soon.
We are collecting optimization information into KB's. If this document changes, the link will be file not found, so search the KB's again for keyword virtualization.

Frozen Negroni Recipe
- Yield:makes 3 to 4 drinks
- Active time: 10 minutes
- Total time:8 hours
This recipe appears in:
Your Blender's Highest Purpose: Frozen Negronis at HomeIn hot weather, you'll want to batch up this sophisticated frozen cocktail, a slushie version of the classic Negroni. The bitter flavors make it especially refreshing.
Why this recipe works:
- Chilling the mixture in the freezer ahead of time helps keep dilution to a minimum for a less watery slushie. Due to alcohol content, it won't freeze solid.
- You might notice that this drink doesn't have a classic 1:1:1 ratio. Dialing back the Campari and sweet vermouth makes for a more balanced bittersweet bite that doesn't overwhelm the gin.
Note: For a thicker slushie, add an additional 1/2 cup ice to each batch.
- 4 1/2 ounces gin, such as G'Vine or Fords
- 2 1/2 ounces Campari
- 2 1/2 ounces Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth
- 3 cups ice (see note above)
- Orange slices, for garnish
Combine gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth in an airtight container. Place in freezer and freeze for at least 8 hours and up to 3 days.
When ready to serve, add chilled alcohol and ice to blender. Blend on high speed until uniform and smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour into rocks glasses or small wine glass. Garnish with an orange slice and serve immediately.

Treatment: Terrake Tender Cotton facial at the Baglioni Spa.
Expert: Rebecca, who has 12 years' experience in the spa industry, including eight years with Stoke Park.
Science: Aimed at those on the sensitive end of the skin spectrum, to help the skin become more tolerant of this never-ending winter. If you have redness, noticeable blood vessels and general tightness, this is for you. In the womb-like warmth of one of their treatment rooms and using ingredients from the cotton flower — paraben-free and with a fragrance that's 100 per cent free from allergens, Rebecca begins with a gentle cream cleanse, then comes a facial and neck massage, and a cotton "foam" mask that has an ice-cube effect to target redness. The best bit was all this was done with my head on a hot-water bottle type pillow (£55 to buy, and I was sorely tempted).
Results: Impressive. Having battled through the freezing temperatures to get there, I left with surprisingly dewy spring skin.
Cost: £90 for 55 minutes.

Atami (ätäˈmē) [key], city (1990 pop. 47,291), Shizuoka prefecture, central Honshu, Japan. It is a major resort, famed for its scenery and its hot springs. Atami was once the site of a geyser which, according to tradition, wrought destruction until moved by Buddhist prayers. After an earthquake in 1923 the geyser stopped erupting. Well-known sites include the Atami Tropical Garden and the Atami Art Museum.
