Leading Lady Guest Blog for Look Good Feel Better
Leading Lady is proud to support Look Good Feel Better and the thousands of women they help to regain confidence while facing cancer. We are inspired by the work that look good feel better is doing for women and we are honored to be a part of the community standing alongside them to help advance their cause, and share their mission.
Many of us know, have known or will know a woman affected by cancer. We are honored to be supporting Look Good Feel Better, and are asking readers, customers, family and friends to join us by helping to raise awareness about this amazing organization and sharing the power of confidence.
Since 1939, my family has been proud to celebrate "Leading Ladies" everywhere through our company's products, programs and philanthropic activities focused on the health and welfare of women in the communities where we live and work.
Like Look Good Feel Better, Leading Lady's mission is to improve women's self esteem and quality of life. At Leading Lady, we do this from the intimates, out. For women undergoing cancer treatment, an experience which may change her body, a properly fitting bra is vital.
Our fit-conscious Director of Design, Haidee Johnstone, shares her tips for achieving the ideal fit, maximizing comfort and ensuring proper support both during and after treatment. Here's what she has to say…
Proper fit is essential to the health of your breasts. The right fit will help prevent sagging, chafing and keep breasts dry, supported and comfortable in even the most strenuous conditions. Plus, it will give you a lift, both literally and figuratively.
Here are some common signs you may not be wearing the correct size:
- If you can see part of your breasts sticking out of the neckline or the underarm, your bra cup is too small for your breast.
- You should not be using any of the under-bust elastic as part of the cup. If you are, it means the cup is not big enough for your breast.
- The band should sit flush against your chest in front and back without digging into your skin or the cup being wrinkled.
How can you achieve your ideal fit, support & comfort?
- Look at yourself in a mirror. Your breasts should appear supported and centered on your chest.
- Remember that many women are between sizes, so you may need to try a size up or down to get the best fit.
- As your body experiences physical changes, your breast size may also change. Get fitted or fit yourself using an online fit calculator every time you notice a significant change in your body.
- If you have undergone a mastectomy, measure yourself on the side of the remaining breast from center sternum to center spine. Double this measurement and then calculate your fit accordingly.
- Read the fit guide. Every company has their own idea of what represents the best fit so this is a great way to make sure the cup and band sizes are correct for you.
Comfort & Support
- Make sure the shoulder straps of your bra stay in place when you are in motion. If they slip off the shoulder or cut into the shoulder, adjust the straps or try a different size bra.
- Wider and padded shoulder straps will help to keep weight stress dispersed over a larger area for greater comfort. This will reduce pressure on your back and shoulders.
- Adjustable shoulder straps will accommodate your individual needs, depending on your height and the weight of your breasts.
- Select breathable, soft fabrics that will not irritate sensitive skin.
- Try several closure options to find the one that works best for you. If you have limited mobility or sensitive areas on your back, consider a front closing bra.
- Replace your bras when they are worn out and no longer provide the support you need.
We hope Haidee's fit tips will help women undergoing treatment Look Good Feel Better from their intimates, out.

But if you really want to amp up your coffee experience, roast your own beans.
I've toyed with the idea! Glad to hear you like it, this does sound like fun. I've even hear some do this in a popcorn popper with reasonable success.
... french press! But it IS messy and more work. It takes some time to gauge how long you want to let the coffee and water live together. I read somewhere, never more then 10 minutes...
... $80 for that one you linked is obscene!
Agreed... that's why I paid only a half (whatever the promotion was at the time). Still expensive, though. There were times when I could afford it... not anymore.
But I know I won't be able to kick the coffee.Rob C
I find that drinking it works better than kicking it, Rob.
yeah if it starts roaring at you or hair starts growing over the rim, what do you do then?Throttle it by any means necessary
but he goes on to make an even bigger pigs ass of it by using milk!

What's the difference between Felix Baumgartner and Green Dot's stock price? Not much, actually, considering that both took quite the plunge recently.
The thing is Baumgartner – the newly-crowned king of skydiving – meant to do it and landed on his feet, whileGreen Dot – long one of the dominant players in the prepaid card market – was pushed and could very well be in for a rocky landing.

This large diameter CNC machined end cap caps off this fabulous system. The black "signature" middle trim ring really sets this pipe apart from the competition.

How Many Anti-Pot Politicians Will be Ousted Before They Realize the Will of the Majority?
At a recent campaign stop in Colorado, a CBS news reporter questioned Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney on a number of issues relevant to Centennial State voters. Among them was marijuana. Romney, appearing visibly agitated, did not take kindly to the inquiry.
"Aren't there issues of significance that you'd like to talk about?" Romney barked, before veering off into prototypical Reefer Madness territory: "I think marijuana should not be legal in this country. I believe it is a gateway drug to other drug violations. The use of illegal drugs in this country is leading to terrible consequences in places like Mexico -- and actually in our country.
Aside from the irony of a lifelong social conservative balking at the opportunity to pontificate on camera regarding what is no doubt one of the leading social issues of the day, little else in Romney's reply is surprising. After all, this is the same man who at a campaign gathering in New Hampshire in 2007 abruptly walked away from an 80-pound, wheelchair-bound muscular dystrophy patient who credited his use of marijuana for keeping him alive. (Watch the video here.) "I'm not in favor of medical marijuana," Romney stated curtly at that time. In the five year's since, it's apparent that Romney has neither revisited his position nor, by his own admission, taken steps to further educate himself as to the issue of marijuana in general. ("I have no idea what industrialized hemp is," Romney acknowledged at another recent campaign stop.)
Nevertheless, the wanna-be President's belief that the cannabis issue is insignificant to voters in Colorado, and to the general electorate at large, is startling – and could be costly to his political aspirations. In Colorado alone, an estimated 100,000 residents are authorized to grow and possess cannabis for therapeutic purposes under state law, including some 15 percent of all residents living in the Mile High City. (Nationwide, well over one million Americans are now estimated to be using marijuana medicinally in compliance with the laws of their states, 17 of which now recognize the medical utility of pot.) In recent years, Colorado state officials have licensed several hundred brick-and-mortar retail outlets to dispense cannabis – a move that has allowed for the creation of several thousand local jobs and has raised several millions of dollars in new revenue. (Two other states, Maine and New Mexico, also presently license medical marijuana dispensaries; four additional states – Arizona, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont – as well as the District of Columbia, are presently in the process of doing so.) And this coming November, at the same time voters will be deciding their next President, Coloradoans will also be deciding the fate of A 64 – a constitutional amendment that seeks to allow for the legalization and regulation of cannabis for all adults. Yet, to hear Romney tell it, American voters don't particularly care about cannabis.
As if.
Try telling that to US Attorney Dwight Holton. On Wednesday, the Democrat former front-runner for the position of Oregon Attorney General went down to defeat at the hands of retired state appeals court judge Ellen Rosenblum (also a Democrat). One of the keys to Rosenblum's unexpected victory: her public advocacy for medical marijuana – a stance that, not surprisingly, resonated in a state that boasts some 55,000 registered medical cannabis patients. By contrast, Holton campaigned on the premise that the state's voter-approved medical cannabis law was a "train-wreck" and pledged to, if elected, work with select lawmakers to gut the 13-year-old law. The tactic failed big time, as marijuana law reformers quickly galvanized behind Holton's opponent and provided significant funding to the Rosenblum campaign – resulting in an almost 2-to-1 landslide victory at the polls.
The Oregon experience was not unlike that of a previous state Attorney General's race in California in 2010. In that contest, marijuana law reformers unified behind Democrat candidate Kamala Harris of pot-friendly San Francisco and against Republican Steven Cooley, who, as Los Angeles District Attorney, had spearheaded a major law enforcement crackdown on the city's medical cannabis facilities. The support of the reform community likely provided Harris with the slight margin of victory needed to defeat her Republican challenger, who received only 39 percent support in his home county. Among the majority of Los Angeles voters the election was a no contest: cannabis was far more popular than Cooley.
One would think that candidate Romney would be learning from these life lessons, but he isn't. Neither is his party. Last week, House Republicans led the charge to defeat a bipartisan budgetary amendment that sought to limit the use of taxpayers' dollars to fund Department of Justice and DEA operations targeting medical marijuana consumers and operators who are compliant with state law. (During the floor debate, Republican Congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia likened the physician-supervised, state-authorized use of medicinal cannabis to that of engaging in "sexual trafficking.") Two-hundred-and-twelve Republicans (88 percent of GOP House members who cast votes) decided against the measure, which was ultimately defeated 262 to 163. (Ironically, during Romney's CBS interview, he specifically referred to marijuana as a "states issue;" apparently the majority of his political brethren in Congress disagree.)
Yet, only days later a nationwide Mason-Dixon poll of 1,000 likely voters once again reaffirmed that the majority of Washington DC is wholly out-of-step with the public's sentiment regarding cannabis. According to the poll, 74 percent of respondents – including 67 percent of self-identified Republicans – believe that the federal government should "respect the medical marijuana laws" in those states that have legalized its use, cultivation, and distribution. Only 15 percent of those polled said they supported the federal government's use of "federal resources to arrest and prosecute individuals who are acting in compliance" with the medicinal cannabis laws of their state.
Nonetheless, to this day the Obama administration continues to act in a manner that marches in lockstep with will of this 15 percent, while turning its back on everyone else – with even the President himself going so far as to violate a campaign pledge to do so. So the question remains: How much longer will federal politicians from both leading parties continue to presume, falsely, that marijuana law reform is insignificant to the American people? Or, perhaps the better question is: How many more would-be politicians need to be ousted before both party's leadership begins to finally get the message?

Chris Thile article - London Times
January 25, 2008
Chris Thile and his mandolin
The million-selling Chris Thile tells our correspondent how a crisis of faith gave him a fresh start
Pete Paphides
After six days in Glasgow, Chris Thile has mastered his angry Scotsman impersonation. It sounds like Billy Connolly, but unless Connolly was responsible for the inebriated heckle at last nights Punch Brothers show Thile is actually channelling the indignation of an unspecified purist: Oh, play some bluegrass, fi Christs sake! Stopping only to swallow a chunk of his Starbucks Very Berry scone, Thile continues, It was another Judas moment to add to the collection.
From the moment the mandolin-wielding golden boy of 21st-century bluegrass disbanded Nickel Creek, citing the need to experiment, the heckling was inevitable. Thile says he always knew that the tastes of folk fans in the States were entrenched. But since his three-year-old outfit Punch Brothers arrived to play a series of shows at the Celtic Connections festival, he adds: I didnt realise the bluegrass police had moved over here too.
It takes only a cursory listen to Punch Brothers new album, Punch, to guess why a section of fans may have been startled. Few musicians well, none have intertwined bluegrass instrumentation and spontaneity in the strictures of modern classical. The Blind Leaving the Blind the four-movement lions share of Punch is by no means easy listening. But as a portrait of an artist defining his musical territory in the same way that, say, Joanna Newsom did with Ys, it is remarkable. Elvis Costellos North also springs to mind.
Crisis informed its creation: the collapse of his marriage after just 18 months, then the collapse of the Christian beliefs that Thiles parents had instilled in him throughout his young life. Now a tousled, unshaven 27, Thile says, It took me a long time to realise that the world doesnt necessarily have your best interests at heart.
Before all of that though, he says that the first thing he lost his faith in was commercial success. On the back of two million sales for Nickel Creeks 2002 album This Side, even the Albert Hall was sold out for them here. There was a definite pressure to keep the numbers [of albums sold] going. And the reason I had to get out of it was that I didnt care any more.
Well, he had certainly been doing it long enough. Growing up in California, Thile picked up a mandolin aged 5. Three years later, he was entering adult competitions and winning them. At 15, the constant demand for his playing necessitated a family move to Nashville. Thile says that his father did his best to simulate an atmosphere of normality. You suspect that, for Scott Thile, playing alongside his son in Nickel Creek was a way of maintaining that normality. The religion of my youth was fear-based, the younger Thile says, with no hint of animosity, and I think a lot of religion is. Its left me with an overall fear of death, which I kind of resent. I feel thats no way to really live.
At 23, he was young to marry and yet pretty old not to have asked himself many of the big questions that usually come with adolescence. Well, I had the mandolin to keep me company, Thile says. I didnt need to rebel as long as I had this instrument to pick up and practise. Perhaps being in a group with his dad conspired to put the brakes on the self-discovery.
By the time 2005s Why Should The Fire Die? appeared, Thiles lyrics suggested that, beneath the burnished roots-pop exterior, an impasse had set in. What will be left when Ive drawn my last breath . . . Will I discover a soul-saving love/ Or just the dirt below me? The lyrical shift didnt go unnoticed by his parents. Years later, he says he is only just beginning to have some good religious conversations with them: Theyve even called me up and said, Hey, remember when you were little, how we didnt let you do this or that? Well, were sorry. You wanna talk about it? Having also joined us, Punch Brothers bassist Greg Garrison recalls being aware of Thile well before he met him. Everyone was aware of Chriss musical prowess, but also aware of the fact that he was very Christian. And in that sense, we were wanting him to break that mould, he says.
Thile had unknowingly sown the seeds of just such a transition. He now says that the fall-out from his marriage (to a Nashville clothes store assistant) was the best and worst thing that happened to me. Thile found a sympathetic ear in fellow country prodigy Gabe Witcher. It happened that Witcher whom Thile had known since childhood had also been through a painful break-up.
Punch Brothers emerged, as Thile put it, after the two got together one night just to drop a ton of money, drink too much wine, eat steaks and commiserate about our failed relationships.
Credited to Thile but featuring his fellow Punch Brothers, 2006s How To Grow a Woman combined originals with assorted covers, some country, some less so. Sadly the stunning eight-minute version of Radioheads Morning Bell that features in the groups live set didnt make it on. One song that did, however, was their version of the Strokes Heart In a Cage, complete with swear-word. Fan forums reached boiling point over his use of f*** no matter that he didnt write the words. Yup, one fan wrote, Chris managed to sneak-attack an F-bomb into his new album. Ugh . . . Why? What does it prove? I hope that Chris loves people losing respect for him. Cause I just lost a bunch of it.
I tell Thile and Garrison that the virulence of the objections took me aback slightly . Even if we are only talking about Nickel Creeks more reactionary fan-base, I thought rednecks swore. They do! Thile hoots. All the time. They just dont want their kids to hear it, Garrison says. Thile adds: They dont want to have to put any effort into the entertainment of their kids. In the States, parents have decided its the entertainment industrys job to raise their kids that Nickelodeon should be doing it. One thing I can say about my parents is that they put the hours into it.
None of this, I say, is going to pan out very well for the two million Nickel Creek fans in America who are hoping this is just a phase Thile is going through. Well, you cant please everyone, Garrison says, but we need to take a look at how we can best present this music to certain audiences so as to have our cake and eat it. Do you know what I mean?
Well, I suggest, if youre not going to eat your cake, I say, what else can you do with it?
Next to Garrison, the former future of bluegrass nods thoughtfully, before a now-familiar heckle resurfaces in his mind. What else can you do with a cake? You can shove them in peoples faces. Hahahah!
Punch is released by Nonesuch on Feb 26
Didn't one of US write that remark on this MB? It sounds so familiar...
Mmm yep found it. Culprits us. Oh well, it was a different time, a different place. Course I never changed my opinion but I believe I was pretty apathetic to begin with.
Good to know its been the worst controversy the Brothers have had.

It certainly was eye-opening to read about what the Texas Rangers gave closer Joe Nathan, who is coming off Tommy John surgery. At 37, Nathan will get a two-year deal worth $14.5 million.
Is he worth it?
Apparently he is to the Texas Rangers, who'll be writing the checks, and that's all that really matters. If Nathan stays healthy and returns close to form, and Netfali Feliz makes the transition to the rotation, it would be like making two deals.
Feliz is a hard thrower, and in theory moving him to the rotation is similar to what the Mets wanted to do with Bobby Parnell. But, Parnell had his issues, such as an inability to master his secondary pitches and stretches where he loses his command.
I believe it is easier to find a reliable closer than it is a dominant starter, so I would not be adverse to giving Parnell another shot at the rotation if he gets down his secondary pitches, but there's been no indication he's heading in that direction.
The most shocking thing about the Nathan signing was the Mets were supposedly injured. There's no way Sandy Alderson would have approached what the Rangers gave him, and if he believes he had a chance to sign Nathan then he's underestimated the market.
The Phillies acquired Ty Wiggington for a player to be named later. Surely, the Mets could have matched that price. The Phillies also signed Jonathan Papelbon, who fled the sinking Red Sox. Wiggington won't off-set the loss of Ryan Howard, but at least the Phillies are doing something.
So are the Nationals, who are talking with Mark Buehrle, and expect to be active this winter. Buehrle could be an effective innings eater, but is completely out of the Mets' price range.
Reportedly, the Nationals are also interested in Jose Reyes, although there's been no offter there. Whatever additions the Nationals make, it won't be enough to catch Philadelphia and Atlanta, but I don't think that's the point with them.
Do you remember when Fred Wilpon once said he wanted the Mets to play meaningful games in September? That's the point, especially in a front-runner oriented city such as Washington. If the Nationals play interesting ball deep into the summer and are competitive, people will come out to the park and that's the issue.
Sure, winning would be nice, but winning is also expensive. Just being competitive – good but not too good – is the way to go for most teams because it keeps the interest up.
Detroit and Milwaukee, reportedly, also are interested in Reyes, but there's nothing hot with either of those teams now. The strongest interest is coming from Miami, but things will get more active at the winter meetings as the new collective bargaining agreement brought no significant changes that would deter free-agent signings and teams making their budgets.

STUTTGART, Germany (AP) -- Top-seeded Tommy Haas beat Ernests Gulbis of Latvia 6-0, 3-6, 6-4 to join two other Germans in the Mercedes Cup quarterfinals on Thursday.
The 35-year-old Haas is the oldest player in the top 100 and is looking for his second title of the year. Haas won another tournament in Munich, also on clay.
Haas cruised through the first set, but Gulbis bounced back in the second. In the final set, Haas broke serve to win the match as Gulbis slammed a forehand into the net.
"There are days like that, I could feel that he couldn't find his rhythm in the first set but I was also struggling. This was my first match after Wimbledon, switching from grass to clay,'' Haas said.
"In the second, he got some first serves in and they are difficult to return. But I also served well at the end.''
Haas will next play either Leonardo Mayer of Argentina or Fabio Fognini of Italy.
Fourth-seeded Benoit Paire of France also won his second-round match by beating Nikolay Davydenko of Russia 6-3, 6-1.
Paire's quarterfinal opponent will be Victor Hanescu of Romania, who beat Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil 6-1, 6-4.
In other quarterfinals, Michael Berrer of Germany faces Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain, while second-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany meets Gael Monfils of France.

Sept. 28, 2005
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Briana Stephenson celebrated her 20th birthday by leading MIT to a 30-8, 30-21, 30-14 victory over NEWMAC foe Mount Holyoke College. She paced the Engineers' attack with 11 kills on just 14 attempts. With the win, Tech improves to 15-3 overall and 4-0 in conference action. In addition, head coach Paul Dill became the all-time winningest coach in the program's history, bringing his 10-year career total to 250. The previous mark of 249 wins was established by Karyn Altman who directed the women's volleyball squad from 1983-91.
Amanda Morris dished out 33 assists as MIT hit .429 as a team, with Ellen Sojka adding six kills and Lucy Wang and Caroline Jordan each chipping in five. The Engineers equaled a season-high 19 aces for the match, as NEWMAC Player of the Week Arlis Reynolds, Sojka and Alex Huston-Carico each scored four times from the service line.
MIT next faces undefeated Bridgewater State College and nationally-ranked No. 23 Eastern University in the first night of the Tufts University Invitational held in Rockwell Cage on Friday.

It's Dempsey's seventh goal in the last three matches at Fulham's home Craven Cottage. [Fox Soccer]

Fredericks & Mae
- Location: online only
- Specialty: Objects for the home, garden and sky
- Price range: $$$
- Website: fredericksandmae.myshopify.com
Store History
- Founded: 2007
- Founded by: Jolie Mae Signorile and Gabriel Fredericks Cohen
- Headquarters: Brooklyn, NY
Design and art team Jolie Mae Signorile and Gabriel Fredericks Cohen met through a shared love for materials in 2007, and started Fredericks & Mae in 2008. They recently launched a new online shop showcasing their handmade objects, including new additions to their Endless Summer collection — perfect for road trips and long days at the beach.
Name/Title: Jolie Signorile (Mae) and Gabriel Cohen (Fredericks)
Open/launch date: We started Fredericks & Mae in 2008, but it was very small for a long time. Our current web store launched in early 2013.
Inspiration for opening: Last year, when we had a more DIY web shop, we got an e-mail from a friendly customer who told us that our web shop was "absolutely insane" — so we decided to up our game a bit. It's been so nice having a bit more direct contact with our customers, and knowing where our work is finding home.
Merchandise We get our materials from all over — kite paper from India, feathers from bird sanctuaries in Queens and California, wooden shapes from Ohio, and horse hair from Mongolia, just to name a few.
Best selling item: Arrows!
Your favorite Gabe: Cat Lures. I think they are so strange and sculptural. Jolie: Right now it's Beach Tennis.
Favorite store (other than your own): Jolie: Maryam Nassir Zadeh on 123 Norfolk St in NYC. They are the first store that ever sold our work, and whenever I am in the neighborhood I have to stop by — it's always inspiring. Gabe: De Vera on 1 Crosby Street in NYC. I always describe De Vera as the treasure store — every object in there is perfect and rare and emotional.

The 27th Annual East Central Alabama Cotton Tour, scheduled Aug. 19, is a far cry from the first tour held in the summer of 1978. Back then, keeping boll weevils at bay was the overriding concern of virtually every cotton farmer in the region — which is why the first tour focused exclusively on controlling insects.
However, thanks largely to the highly successful Boll Weevil Eradication Program during the last decade, farmers see no weevil — a quantum leap in pest control technology that has enabled recent tours to focus on other pressing issues in addition to insect control.
Jeff Clary, former coordinator of the Alabama Cooperative Extension System's Lee County office and the tour's founder, says the event evolves year after year to meet the needs of producers in a rapidly changing world cotton economy.
"Everything associated with U.S. agriculture is undergoing rapid change, and cotton farming is no exception," Clary says. "With insect control, for example, we face a set of challenges different from what we faced even a decade ago."
In recent years, for example, producers have faced the additional challenges of reniform and rootknot nematodes, soilborne pests that have taken a huge toll on cotton yield throughout the state.
Part of this year's tour, scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. at the Mike Gunn farm in Tallassee, will focus on in-furrow nematode treatments as well as rotation cropping alternatives aimed at reducing yield losses.
The use of peanuts as a rotational crop with cotton, a practice that has generated a lot of interest in the region in the last couple of years, also will be a major focus of the tour, according to Leonard Kuykendall, an Extension regional agent who, along with Clary, is organizing the tour.
"Nematodes are already a severe problem for some and likely to become a very significant problem for many others."
"From the standpoint of crop sustainability, there are some merits to switching to peanuts, and in some cases, corn," Kuykendall says.
The tour will feature several stops where farmers can inspect some of the rotational research under way by Austin Hagan, an Extension plant pathologist.
Another major focus of the tour will be cotton crop varieties, many of which are available to producers for the first time.
"We've had the greatest selection of transgenic cotton varieties, featuring new insect and weed control traits, that we've ever had — a topic that will be discussed on three stops during the tour," Kuykendall says.
Another major focus of the tour, as always, will be insuring that producers come away with practical knowledge that they can then apply to their farming operations.
"Immediate practical benefit is the foundation on which this tour is organized year after year," Kuykendall says. "We want producers to return to their farms and immediately put to use what they've learned at the tour."
In many cases, the tour offers east central Alabama producers the only opportunity they have during the year to interact with professionals on the cutting edge of cotton production technology.
Indeed, producers are able to rub elbows with everyone associated with the region's cotton industry, from Extension specialists and agents to seed, chemical and equipment vendors.
The cotton tour, which started out in the late 1970's as a countywide tour and initially attracted only between 30 and 40 growers, has emerged as one of the Southeast's most comprehensive and well-attended tours, typically drawing more than 150 producers from as far away as the Wiregrass.
To reach the Mike Gunn farm, from I-85 take the Tuskegee-Franklin exit to U.S. Highway 49 North. From Highway 49, turn left on Macon County Road 56. The Gunn farm will be located on the left after the creek.
From Montgomery, take Interstate 85 North to Exit 26, the Tallassee Exit, onto Alabama Highway 229 North. After crossing the Tallapoosa River, take the first road to the right, Freeman Avenue, which goes directly to the Mike Gunn farm.
For more information, contact Leonard Kuykendall, regional Extension agent, at (334) 361-7273 or the Lee County Extension office at (334) 749-3353.

|Low-fat Baked Sweet Potato Chips: easy, tasty and frugal.
|Exhibit A: Moldy sweet potato
I'm not scared of mold. I simply slice away the nasty bits and proceed as planned. But I didn't want to use this fuzzy critter to make a huge pot of curry or soup. I have too much to do to deal with all that chopping, dish-washing and leftover management. I just wanted to make something easy that would be quickly consumed. Baked Sweet Potato Chips fit the bill. Minimal dishes and fat. Maximal flavor and satisfaction.

Job growth in the United States continued at a solid pace in July, with the economy adding 209,000 new jobs, the Labor Department said Friday.
Economists had expected an increase of about 230,000 jobs.
The unemployment rate was 6.2 percent, up from June's 6.1 percent. It has declined from a peak of 10 percent in October 2009, driven by job gains and a shrinking labor force.
Employment has now grown above a 200,000-jobs pace for six straight months for the first time since the technology boom in the late 1990s. The results improve upon June when nonfarm payrolls blew past expectations and rose by 288,000 new jobs.
Data for May and June were revised to show a total...

Pet peeve about your teammate: Shes dating my brother and sometimes she gives me too much information about him
enough said!
Finally hoping for a good blonde team!
Auburn alumnae compete on 'The Amazing Race'Soccer player, sorority sister say their contrasting personalities helped them on the showEver since the show first aired, Brittany Fletcher had made appearing on The Amazing Race part of her list of things to do before she died.Now, Fletcher and Caitlin King, both graduates of Auburn University, will be checking that off as they compete as one of 11 teams on the new season of the show, which premieres Sept. 30 on CBS. In the show, the duo traveled nearly 25,000 miles across nine countries and competed in a variety of different challenges for a chance to win $1 million.Fletcher graduated from the university in 2009 with a degree in logistics, while King graduated in 2011 with a degree in early childhood special education. Outside the show, Fletcher works as a pharmaceutical sales representative at Horizon Pharma in Chicago and King lives in Atlanta, previously working as an after-school teacher in St. Louis, where she is originally from.Speaking of their time at Auburn, King said there were certain things that she and Fletcher did not have in common. For one, King was a standout forward with the AU soccer team and Fletcher was an active member of the Phi Mu sorority. And despite having the same circle of friends, the two were not close.Were really competitive girls, so we always knew who we were, but we didnt want to get to know each other that well, King said.However, once King started dating Fletchers brother, Brian, a baseball player at AU, things began to change and the two became friends.We ended up finding out that we had a lot more in common than we thought and from that day on, we just continued growing in our friendship and its been great ever since, King said.Fletcher said the show, along with The Price is Right, had been on her bucket list of things to do before she died, so when the opportunity came to audition for the show, she took King along for the ride.I knew she (King) was the perfect partner because we are both so competitive, Fletcher said. I knew we would be a pretty solid team and a tough team to beat.King said she and Fletcher sent a video of themselves as part of the application process. After a week of interviews in Los Angeles and a month to go before the start of production, the two were informed that they would be part of the cast of the shows new season.It was just really exciting, King said.Both Fletcher and King maintain that their contrasting personalities helped them compete in the show. Examples King gave of Fletchers strengths were her organization and keen sensibility, while King brought macromanagement skills to different situations.We knew how to manage our personalities to our best advantage, King said.Prior to the first day of shooting, Fletcher and King spent two and a half months training together by working out, studying geography, brushing up on common phrases in different languages, as well as watching past episodes of the show to get a feel for what to expect in the competition.If you were to show us an episode, we would probably know what season and episode it was from, Fletcher said.One particular team-building exercise Fletcher and King participated in was building a Lego set in a dark, noisy room while timing themselves.We knew we were going to be somewhere that was actually loud and noisy, where we would have to keep our calm and focus, Fletcher said.Fletcher said one of the more difficult parts of the show was where she and King would have to use maps and speak to people in other languages in order to complete a task, all without the use of a cellphone.You dont realize how much you depend on being able to speak the same language with people, Fletcher said. You have to really rely on being able to ask local questions and finding people who could speak English.An aspect of the show that Fletcher and King did not anticipate was the number of friends they made from the different teams in the show that they will keep in touch with for a long time.Its kind of a special bond that you get just being there all together, experiencing this thing as a family, King said. Even though were going as separate teams, you still have that bond that brings you together, just knowing that everyones having these emotions and going through the same kind of hardships and difficulties.Although the duo gave few details about what to expect on the show this season, they emphasized how excited they are to represent their alma mater on national television.Theres nothing better, Fletcher said.The Amazing Race has won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program eight times since its debut in 2001.
am I the only person who doesn't recall seeing them at all at any point during the first episode except the team introductions/intro...?
how come they didnt show them selling chocolate at the airport?

Mots-clés : VIH ; Homosexualité ; France ; Comportement sexuel ; Questionnaire ; Facteur risque Mots-clés : HEPATITE VIRALE C MALADIE SEXUELLEMENT TRANSMISSIBLE Résumé : In mid-2004, three Parisian hospital wards informed the Institut de veille sanitaire of recent acute hepatitis C in HIV-infected (HIV+) men who had sex with men (MSM). These cases for whom none of the usual bloodborne routes for hepatitis C (HCV) transmission was found, reported having had unprotected sex. In October 2004, we conducted a retrospective investigation in Parisian hospital wards to explore HCV modes of transmission in recent acute hepatitis C in HIV+ MSM. Patient demographics, clinical and biological status of HIV infection, reasons for HCV testing, sexual behaviour and risk factors for HCV transmission within the 6 months before hepatitis onset were collected from medical records. An anonymous self-administered questionnaire on sexual behaviour within the six months before hepatitis onset was also offered to all cases. We identified 29 cases of acute hepatitis C in HIV+ MSM with onset from April 2001 to October 2004. HIV infection was asymptomatic for 76%. Median age at hepatitis C onset was 40 (28-54) years. In all records, were noted unprotected anal sex, fisting in 21% and a concomitant sexually transmitted infection (STI) in 41%. Median time between HIV diagnosis and HCV infection was 6.5 years (0-22). From the 11 self-administered questionnaires completed, 10 reported an STI, 8 "hard" sexual practices, 6 bleeding during sex and 5 fisting. HCV transmission probably occurred through bleeding during unprotected traumatic anal sex among HIV+ MSM and may be facilitated by STI mucosal lesions. This report stresses the continuous need to strongly advocate safer sex to MSM.

Charge: 'Santa' attacked Seattle homeless couple
A Seattle man bearing a remarkable resemblance to one jolly old elf is behind bars on allegations that he attacked a homeless couple in their tent.
King County prosecutors contend Troy Huntley stabbed at his alleged victims with a pair of scissors while also armed with a board. Huntley, 49, has been charged with assault and faces a possible life sentence under the state's "Three Strikes" law.
Shortly before 8 p.m. on Dec. 15, the alleged victims were in their tent underneath Interstate 5 at South Oregon Street when they heard someone yelling at them.
"Get the hell out of here you baby rapist!" their assailant screamed before slashing into the tent with scissors, a Seattle detective told the court.
The pair fled and were able shelter near a fire truck until police arrived.
Speaking with police, the alleged victims detailed the attack and their assailant, the detective told the court.
"They described the suspect as a heavy white male who looked like Santa Claus," the detective told the court.
Weighing in at 330 pounds, Huntley apparently fit the bill. Officers in the area arrested him shortly after the attack; according to charging documents he was carrying a pair of scissors and a large board with a nail pounded into it.
Huntely has been charged with second-degree assault and remains jailed. He has not yet entered a plea.

Avis CEO Admits His View Changed on Car Sharing
A New Year's resolution for Avis CEO Ron Nelson is to share more.
Nelson said early in today's conference call discussing Avis's purchase of Zipcar that he got it wrong when he talked down car sharing.
"As some of you may recall, I've been somewhat dismissive of car sharing in the past but what I've come to realize is that car sharing, particularly on the scale that Zipcar has achieved and will achieve, is complementary to our traditional business," Nelson said.
Nelson believes the deal can serve new, younger customers that the traditional Avis and Budget brands don't always address, touting Zipcar's strong smartphone capabilities that analysts have long touted. And he says Zipcar's profitability will be helped by utilizing Avis's fleet and infrastructure. Zipcar said recently that 2012 would be its first full-year profit since it was started in 2000.
Buying Zipcar will put Avis first among car-sharing operators as the former has more members than both privately held Enterprise and Hertz, which both recently entered the space.

ForumsThird-Party ApplicationsOutlook no longer syncs
Outlook no longer syncs
I just got back from a business trip in Texas (2 time zones away). The whole time I was syncing my iPhone with Toodledo and sycing Toodledo with Outlook using Toodledo Outlook Sync. Somehow Toodledo changed my time zone to Texas. I got back to work in Nevada and tried to sync my tasks. Several old, deleted tasks that were stored in Outlook popped back into Toodledo, which deleted. I also was hit with 22 new Windows XP updates. After all this, Toodledo Outlook Sync will not sync my Toodledo tasks with Outlook. I have uninstalled it and installed the latest version of the sync program. I can sync between iPhone and Toodledo just fine. I made sure the sync program has my Toodledo ID in it.
So, here are a couple of thoughts. Can it be related to the timezone change? I changed it back but it still won't work. Maybe I have to delete all tasks and start over. Another possibility is a Microsoft update killed the sync. I looked at the history and the only Outlook specific update was to the Junk Email filters.
Any ideas?
Posted: Sep 23, 2009
I don't have a solution, but am experiencing a similar problem. If I enter tasks in outlook it synchs to toodledo and to the iphone, but if I enter the task in toodledo, it will not synch to outlook. The iphone is synching with the online version of toodledo, but the outlook to toodledo synch only seems to work in one direction. Very frustrating!
The best thing to do might be to email a trace log from the sync tool to its developer. His email is listed on the website here: http://www.chromadrake.com/ChromaticDragon/Contact.aspx
If you have been changing your time zone, and updating your system, you might want to try reinstalling the sync tool fresh.
FYI. I contacted the developer and he was very quick with a response. I sent him my trace log. He confirmed that I had a task in both Outlook and on Toodledo that were different somehow and this was causing the program to choke. I didn't have much time to look closer so I just deleted all my tasks (I only have 11 so if I had a lot more I would have invested the time to find the bad task). Once I had done that and re-entered them all in, it works again. I have a strong suspicion which task it was because I had one left in Outlook after deleting all tasks. But, as I said, this was the quick fix for me.
BTW, the latest version of the Toodledo iPhone app can automatically sync your iPhone timezone with your Toodledo.com timezone. Basically, your iPhone can automatically change its timezone based on GPS, etc. and when the Toodledo app connects to the website, it checks if the timezones match, and changes the Toodledo timezone if they do not. This is convenient if, for instance, you travel a lot, and want reminders to show up at the correct local time. However, it could cause problems if you are syncing Toodledo with other apps (i.e. Outlook), in which case it might be best to turn timezone sync off (under Synchronization settings in the app).

Traditional enterprise applications are better suited to the private cloud. These applications are typically built in a silo-centric fashion and are dependent on the hardware, particularly homegrown applications. Don't let virtualization fool you; even if the applications are virtualized, they're still silo-centric. The only difference is it's now virtual hardware. You're still working on the outdated model of one application, one OS.
Cloud promoters tout the ability to migrate applications from a private to a public cloud to improve resiliency and business continuity, but the fact is, the technical requirements for such migrations are steep. You have to address Layer 2 adjacency, latency and storage considerations. Cold migrations (that is, with the virtual machine powered down) will require compatible infrastructure and configuration locally and in the chosen cloud, which presents its own set of requirements and complexities.
Legacy applications will require heavy lifting in the form of architectural redesign and code customization, if not complete rewrite, to be migrated to the public cloud. In a legacy data center architecture, applications get high availability through hardware redundancy and software features like clustering and fault tolerance. This can provide uptimes levels in the range of 99.999%-plus for critical apps. In a public cloud, the infrastructure itself typically provides a 99.95% uptime if design requirements are met. To extend that uptime to match what you'd get in your own data center, you'd have to redesign the application to fit the architectural requirements of your chosen public cloud.
Beyond uptime, applications will need to be reworked to take advantage of the elastic scale of cloud. Traditional enterprise applications aren't built to expand and contract based on real-time demand. The fluid nature of cloud computing provides inherent advantages for scale, reliability and flexibility, but those are not plug-and-play abilities for legacy code.
Write for Public The flip side of this coin is the applications that are ideal for public cloud environments. New applications with little to no dependencies on legacy code or data are ideal. If the service is still to be defined, or being written from scratch, you should be looking for reasons not to place it in the public cloud rather than vice versa. Apps that are purpose-built for the cloud can gain a great deal from public cloud scale and geographical diversity. If you do build it on local infrastructure, that decision should be driven by solid reasons such as security and compliance or cost--or because you've already built a large-scale private cloud that offers many of the public cloud's benefits.
End users are accustomed to Web-based latency with many of the applications and services they use for things like photos and email. This means that low to moderate latency shouldn't cause user experience to suffer--as long as the application itself does not add unnecessary drag. As long as the data can be stored in close proximity to users to avoid unnecessary data access latency, most apps can be written to perform well in the cloud. These applications will be more flexible, scalable and accessible if designed originally for cloud deployment.
Deploying applications in a public cloud environment with a service-centric view will also make it easier to address bring-your-own-device initiatives. The ubiquitous access of a public cloud and a service delivery model makes it easier for users to access information from any device. This can either be a supplement to or replacement for application and desktop virtualization for BYOD purposes. With services deployed in an accessible public could, native apps can be written for mobile devices and browsers.
Applications are not created equal and nor are the underlying platforms that run them. While private and public clouds share common features and characteristics, they are not identical. Thus, you should weigh the requirements of each application to ensure that you choose the correct deployment model.

BAKER � An inmate artist from the Century Correctional Institute is restoring a local landmark while creating a large-scale depiction of this north county community's heritage.
BAKER � An inmate artist from the Century Correctional Institute is restoring a local landmark while creating a large-scale depiction of this north county community's heritage.
The public art project replaces the Baker Block Museum's former mural that had deteriorated over the years. Like the original, the new mural celebrates Baker's founding as a railroad town.
In addition to an old locomotive pulling into the town's depot, the painting includes the now-defunct Bank of Baker and the old Hart Hotel.
"The three buildings we're using were all once within a stone's throw of the museum," Baker Block Museum director Ann Spann said.
Spann said she provided the artist, who by Department of Corrections regulations can't be identified, with copies of old photos of the three now-lost buildings.
The museum also provided paint and other supplies for the project, which is expected to take another five weeks or so to be completed.
"This is a massive project," the artist said. The Department of Corrections granted the interview on a condition that the artist�s identity not be revealed. "I haven't done anything this big before."
North Okaloosa Historical Association President Danny Hall said the organization and museum rely on inmate labor from Century for routine grounds work, cleaning and maintenance.
"They are a huge asset to our day-to-day operations and special projects," Hall said. "We could not do without them."
The mural restoration, which is being done by the artist and an inmate assistant, supervised by a Department of Corrections officer, is an outgrowth of the relationship, Spann said.
Community response to the new mural has been positive, with residents patronizing Baker businesses pausing to watch the artist at work, Spann said.
"It's real nice," Josette Phillips said. "I'm glad to see them replacing the painting."
"The mural pulls a lot of people into the museum who want to see what it's all about," Spann said, adding it often attracts tourists passing through Baker from Alabama en route to the beach.
"I'm kind of proud of it," the artist said. "They gave me lots of artistic freedom so I'm adding things like people, the old truck and I'm going to paint an old car in the street."
"We are very pleased with the artist's work and grateful for all that the inmate crew and corrections office does for the museum," Hall said.

"Maybe I'm just naive, but designing a graphics API such that all image data had to be sent over a socket to another process every time the image needed to be drawn seems like complete idiocy. Unfortunately, that is precisely what the X Window System forces a program to do, and exactly what Cairo does when drawing images in Linux - a full copy of the image data, send to another process, no less, every time it is drawn. One would think there would be some room for improvement. Unsurprisingly, others felt the same way about X, and decided to write an extension, Xlib Shm or XShm for short, that allows images to placed in a shared memory segment from which the X server reads which allows the program to avoid the memory copy. GTK already makes use of the XShm extension, and it seems like a good idea to see if Gecko couldn't do the same."

text: Why, when someone with an LSAT below 160 asks about their chances at a certain set of schools,does the first response have to be "retake the LSAT". The OP did not ask whether she should retake the LSAT. She asked what her chances were at a certain set of schools predicated upon her current numbers. For all you know the OP studied incredibly hard for the LSAT and 153 was the best she could do. Being smart and a hard worker does not always translated into doing well on the LSAT.

What's cute and furry and has a name only a paleontologist could love?
A tiny theoretical creature dubbed the "hypothetical placental mammal ancestor" is stealing the hearts of some evolutionary biologists — and annoying others — as it raises new debate over just when our early mammal ancestors began diversifying across the globe.
In a paper published this week in the journal Science, an international team of researchers described how they used a vast database of fossil and anatomical data, as well as DNA evidence, to reverse-engineer an ancestor to the largest group of living mammals.
The scientists theorized that this hypothetical critter would have begun to diversify into new species of mammals after the demise of the dinosaurs roughly 66 million years ago — a concept at odds with some current thinking.

Netflix Reviewed (UK - )
We take a look at the service and ask if streaming is now ready to replace discs
Now I suppose could just go out and buy Michael Bay's entire oeuvre, but that would be costly and leave me feeling dirty. So when the opportunity to trial one of the UK's new streaming services, Netflix, fell into my lap it was too tempting to pass up. Now I'm aware that other streaming services are available, but as of this moment I have not had the chance to sample the competition. That may change in the future, but for now I'm simply offering my thoughts on Netflix, not comparing it with similar steaming services. Anyway, now that I've clarified things let's get on with the review…
Let's kick things off with the good. Netflix UK has a fairly healthy library of films and television shows, so there should be something to cater for everyone's tastes. Just browsing through the web interface as I write this I see listings for the fantastic Ryan Gosling film Drive, the gritty comic book noir Sin City, the sci-fi satire RoboCop and Coppola's classic The Godfather. There are also entire runs of great TV series like Arrested Development, Lost, Firefly, Peep Show and The Thick of It. What I personally found appealing about the library was the availability of some old favourites that I hadn't seen in many a year, or even 'cult' films that I'd never found the time to watch. Over the past few days I've watched films such as Brain Damage, Howard the Duck, The Stuff, Primer, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai and Dreamscape. There's also a reasonable selection of anime and children's entertainment, the latter of which is of nostalgic interest thanks to the presence of things like the Spider-Man, Spider-Woman and Incredible Hulk cartoons I used to watch as a boy. Much of the aforementioned content is also available in HD, which is even better.
Of course the size of any streaming service's library is irrelevant if the quality isn't up to the job. Thankfully Netflix scales very well to individual devices and broadband packages with a range of quality options. These are labelled 'good', 'better' and 'best' quality, which use up to 0.3GB/hour, 0.7GB/hour and 1GB/hour respectively for SD streams. The best quality setting also allows for HD streams that can gobble up around 2.3GB/hour, which is worth bearing in mind if you're on any sort of metered Internet package. Watching on the highest setting provides some quite impressive results, with standard-definition quality that easy matches broadcast TV and DVD. However, when a particular title is available in high-definition the advantages are obvious. For review purposes I began playing the Korean film Lady Vengeance on 'best' quality, and viewing on my 24" 1080p PC monitor it started off looking quite respectable. However, after a little buffering the HD stream kicked in and the difference was immediately obvious. As you can see from the comparison image included below it is some way off of Blu-ray quality, but on an average-size HDTV it's certainly on a par with the better high-definition broadcasts and a lot better than DVD.
Netflix HD Stream Utilizing 'Best' Quality
Lady Vengeance Blu-ray
Audio quality will be largely dependent on how you're listening. Obviously if you're streaming your content to a mobile device you can expect tinny audio, but on a regular TV it sounds just fine. If your playback device is hooked up to a home theatre things are even better, especially as many titles are accompanied by multiple soundtracks offering a choice between 2.0 Stereo and 5.1 (in Dolby Digital Plus).
Although it can initially seem a little confusing, Netflix's website can be customised to suit your individual preferences. The main page presents a selection of recommended titles from a number of genres, but if you prefer you can also view individuals genres (say, 'World Cinema'). This shows all of the films in a particular category, rather than a small sample. It's also possible to view the entire library if you're that way inclined, but obviously that takes some browsing! Thankfully you can change the default view from the gallery to list and then sort by a number of criteria, such as title, rating, and so on (and your choice is retained when you switch back to the gallery view). Clicking on a title will take you to another screen with further details, including audio/video specs, a synopsis and user reviews. Netflix also remembers your viewing position for a number of titles, so you don't have to worry about having to fast forward through two hours of The Godfather should you need to turn it off prematurely (and you can pick up where you left off even if you're using a different device). You can also create a 'taste profile' by rating films and specifying you favourite genres (and those you dislike), which allows Netflix to intelligently suggest suitable viewing material. It's also possible to write reviews to assist other Netflix customers in their viewing decisions, which makes for a more sociable experience.
I also tested the interface on a couple of other devices, namely my Android phone (Galaxy S) and my PS3. Both are obviously simplified versions of the full website, but they allow for basic browsing and playback is fine. Netflix is also available for other devices such as Apple's iPad/iPhone, Nintendo's Wii (although don't expect HD there) and Microsoft's Xbox 360. However, true to form Microsoft requires users to pay for Gold membership to use the Netflix app, which means an additional outlay if you don't already use their online services.
Of course not everything is rosy in the Netflix garden and there are one or two areas that could use some improvement. I realise that it was in the list of positives, but unfortunately Netflix's library is also one of the service's failings, at least when compared with its older relative from across the pond. The US Netflix service offers a much larger selection of content, with greater diversity to boot. You'll find many more films and TV shows on the US site, especially recent ones, and content that is found on both sites is usually more complete in the US (the UK only has five seasons of South Park, for example). It's fair to say that compared to the US the UK catalogue looks quite weedy, but as mentioned before new stuff is added at regular intervals so it's not all doom and gloom. One would hope that this aspect of the service will improve as it matures.
I was quite enthusiastic about the audio-visual quality above, and while it's true that can be very impressive the caveat is the requirement of a fairly robust broadband connection. If you have a slow connection, or indeed if you're on a metered package that precludes the possibility of using the 'best' setting, you'll have to opt for one of the more conservative options. While the lowest of these quality settings is labelled 'good' that's somewhat optimistic on Netflix's part. In fact, both 'good' and 'better' options leave a little to be desired on anything other than smaller screens. (The 'better' setting is supposed to be a compromise between the low and high settings, but in reality I couldn't spot much of an improvement over 'good'.) Examining a similar scene from Lady Vengeance to the one above, this time in 'good' quality, there is obvious blocking, aliasing and blurriness. Imagine this on an average family television set and suddenly it doesn't look so attractive. The stills below are taken from the film in the 'good' quality setting and from the US DVD (480i), and as you can see the DVD is definitely superior.

But let's face it, things are the same with any streaming service and it's one of the main reasons I don't believe they'll replace physical media for some time. The UK's broadband infrastructure simply isn't up to the job, especially in rural areas. While it seems unfair to criticise Netflix for something that is essentially beyond their control, it is a consideration potential customers will have to make.
Additionally, while the Netflix web interface is generally quite user-friendly, there are a few niggles. As far as I can tell – and please correct me if I'm wrong - there is currently no way to add content to a 'watch later' queue, so if you spot something that takes your fancy you either have to remember it or play the first few seconds to add it to your 'recently watched' list. It would be much, much easier to simply create a personalised viewing list that is available across all devices. The categorisations also get a little mixed up from time to time. As an example, recent English-language film The Devil's Double is listed in the 'foreign' films section (if this was the Iraqi Netflix maybe they'd have a point).
The P3 app is another disappointment. While it's generally easy to navigate and offers a rudimentary search option, it has one major omission: genre searching. This requires you to know the name of the film you want to watch or at the very least have an actor/director in mind, lest your movie watching choices be left to the Netflix gods. What's worse is that the service tends to recommend the same old films/shows over and over on the main page, so unless you scan the website first you could miss out on something of interest. It would be far more useful to be able to view all of the titles in a particular genre, or even the entire catalogue. Apparently genre searching used to be part of the PS3 app, so why it was removed it a total mystery to me (please sort it out).
Another annoyance is the registration process, which attempts to force Facebook integration down your throat to the point of irritation. Maybe I'm being picky, but I'm a little sick of this sort of website cross-pollination. I don't want all and sundry having access to my profile.
So, overall is Netflix worthy of your hard-earned? Well I think that's dependant on your expectations. It most definitely is not a replacement for Blu-ray at the high end of the market, and there are one or two minor niggles with the interface, but it does offer more than acceptable quality and a respectable selection at an affordable price point. £5.99 for unlimited streaming is a fair sum, particularly if you don't buy many DVD/Blu-rays and don't subscribe to a cable/satellite service. Hopefully the coming months will see further expansion of the catalogue to provide even greater choice and value for subscribers. While it won't replace physical media for me any time soon Netflix is a decent accompaniment to my high-definition library, but you don't have to take my word for it. If you sign up now you can enjoy one month's free service and you can cancel via the website at any time during the trial without being charged. This 'try before you buy' period is generous enough to give you a solid idea of whether you're going to make effective use of the service, so if like me you've been sitting on the streaming fence now is a perfect time to take that first step.

Does anyone know a tablet image viewer that can easily rotate an image 90 or 180 degrees? I know it can be done using Astro image viewer but this viewer is not my preferred option as the images (instructions in jpg format as snapped by a camera) aren't readable. They're very clear using Perfect Viewer but it doesn't seem able to rotate the image.

CHAPEL HILL � An audit indicates more than $123,000 is missing from the box office and business operation of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
A yearlong internal university audit found the money unaccounted for between 2007 and 2011, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported.
The audit showed $121,000 in cash and $2,500 in checks missing from the business operation that oversees the box office for various performances.
The newspaper obtained the audit through a public records request.
The report says cash deposits and records were improperly handled prior to January 2011. Deposits sometimes were delayed two or three weeks that should have been made the next day.
"These weaknesses allowed a significant loss of funds to occur without being detected at the time of the loss," the report said.
An employee whose name was not included in the report is no longer working for the university, the report said. The status of a second employee was unclear. School spokeswoman Karen Moon would not talk about the employees' status.
The university's Public Safety Department reviewed the case and could not determine a definitive suspect, spokesman Randy Young said. The Orange-Chatham District Attorney's Office decided against prosecution, he said.
The executive director for the arts, Emil Kang, said the problems were discovered when a new business staff took over in 2011.
Cash handling procedures have been changed to improve accountability, Kang said.

I disliked Sakura at first as she had no confidence, which I hate. As she studied with Tsunada she became more confident and she grew on me, but I still dislike her for clinging to Sasuke.
To the people saying it's because she looked down on Naruto, do you hate the whole hidden leaf village to? They looked down on Naruto for a long time also. Why dont you hate on the village?
Most the reasons i feel like people hate on Sakura are usually irrelevant to the current story or just for dumb reasons.
yah i think for most it is the clinging to sasuke thing, most would prefer her with Naruto even though I think Hinata would be a better match for him.
Also from what I have seen there comes a time when you have to say thats enough and cut off from the guy you liked who turned bad and has killed good people, has plans to attack your home town and has tried to kill you before.....it equates to a woman who keeps going back to a guy who beats her or abuses in some way.....F'n walk away already!
I really have no idea, she's a good character in the series, and she's not useless in my opinion.
Anime is AWESOME!
u r mored hated, not sakura!
I dont hate Sakura but it stinks that she wont pick Naruto. And the only way it could be worse is if she did pick him because shes not good enough for him and he should be with hinata. Hinata has always had Narutos back. Sakura just liked Sasuke because he was "cool".
status quo
In the beginning, all she was, was a lovesick snobby 12 year old.
She's gotten cooler. But she's still not all that great.
I never hated her it's just she never gave me a reason to like her
it bothered me how her lovestruck self interfered with a lot of her possible development
I was happy when she got stronger in shippuden, but after season one I noticed... she didn't get any smarter
trying to not be a burden is one thing but trying to keep others out of her plans without thinking things through was a step backwards to me; like when she supposedly planned to kill sasuke without remembering that he as the sharingan can see through her and I don't know that fact that he's physically stronger even without chakra.
She was introduced as a smart character but since then did nothing but make stupid decisions that not only puts herself in danger but others as well. I don't care if she picks naruto, sasuke or akamaru; as a ninja and the supposed 'female hero' of the manga she needs to wise up and be more than just the doctor or damsel character.

This. Shippuuden Sakura is bad ass though. Her best moves in the old series was biting a guy while he punched her in the head. That was like the peak of her ability. And it wasn't some Orochimaru bite that's going to knock you on your ass, it was just a normal bite. Shippuuden Sakura holds her own against Akatsuki members, is strong as hell, is an expert medic and can fight really well.
I agree wholeheartedly that Sakura has grown much stronger in Shippuden, but she is not able to hold her own against Akatsuki Members. Her strength and medical techniques are literally top-notch, but in my books, she's classified as a low to mid A-rank ninja. If not for Chiyo- a veteran S-rank ninja in her own right- Sakura would have been demolished by Sasori, an incredibly powerful S-rank shinobi. Heck, if you care to watch the ending of their battle, Sasori allowed Chiyo and Sakura to kill him; he could have easily switched bodies and finished them off.
Sakura is still awesome though :)

She never does anything. Even in Shippuden I was really excited when she trained with Lady Tsuande. But even after that...so dissapointing. The Sasori Fight was ehhhhh. She still wasnt the one who killed him. Now im still watching shippuden and so far she hasnt done anything worth while. She just stands there for everything. Most of the time Yamato or Naruto have to protect her.
The only reason why i like her character even in the slightest is just the way she looks. I like her Shippuden outfit. Seriously....the only reason.
Like I stated above, Sakura is A-rank (in my books), and there is no chance an A-rank shinobi can hope to beat an S-rank monster -.-" She did admirably well for her pickle she found herself in. And by the way, practically all A-rank ninjas' are Jounins--> Jounin means Elite Ninja (or somewhere along those lines). Most shinobi remain at Chunin level throughout their whole career (ie: high C-rank to B-rank according to my personal ranking system). For a useless fan-girl to progress to such a level at her age is simply remarkable!
Don't look down on Sakura- chan!
Kishimoto has indicated that Sakura has proven a 'difficult' character to portray; she is flawed and thus more 'human'. In terms of character development, her growth has come on in leaps and bounds, from a satellite character in Naruto to a fully fledged kunoichi in part II.
She still lacks the heroism and resolve other female characters have been endowed with, however, the fact that she has room to further develop makes her character all the more relatable and multilayered.
one reason is because she still likes Sasuke even though Naruto is the better guy
I love Sakura, I don't know why everyone hates her.
She's actually very useful and a valuable asset now.
In Naruto, she's useless,weak, annoying, whiny, and obsessed with someone she has no chances with.
But in Shippuden she grows up a bit and develops a lot more as a character.. she /way/ better now.
She's useless, all she does is complain and whine. Oh and she's the biggest cockblock for Naruto.
