SCOTTSBURG, Ind. — Officials in Indiana have lowered the state's death toll from Friday's tornado outbreak to 12 people from the previous 14 and are now concentrating on cleanup work.
State police Sgt. Ray Poole said Sunday officials in southern Indiana's Scott County have told the state Department of Homeland Security that the county had one death rather than the three they first reported. Poole says he doesn't know the reasons for the confusion.
All the Indiana deaths happened in the southern part of the state near Louisville, Ky.
State police Sgt. Jerry Goodin in Henryville says officials believe they've accounted for all residents in the largely rural area and no one is missing. He says police are trying to keep most people away until electricity and natural gas lines are repaired.
Meanwhile, National Weather Service officials have confirmed at least six tornadoes ripped through Alabama during last week's severe storms.
Officials say an EF-1 twister tracked 19 miles across Perry, Dallas and Autauga counties Friday, snapping trees and damaging homes and buildings. A second tornado with an EF-2 rating hit Chilton and Coosa counties, destroying several homes.
A third tornado struck Tallapoosa and Chambers counties. That storm was rated an EF-2 with winds of up to 125 mph and was 1,000 yards in width at its peak.
Three twisters hit Madison and Limestone counties, where part of a high school was destroyed, houses collapsed and cars were mangled. Those tornadoes were rated between EF-1 and EF-3.
Survey teams from the weather service continue to assess damage across the state.
As officials from multiple states worked to recover from storm damages, remarkable stories from tornado survivors across the South and Midwest emerged: schoolchildren took cover under desks, people hunkered down in a church basement or hid out in a bank vault. One family even piled on top of one another for protection.
One of the most remarkable survivors was a toddler found alone in a field near her Indiana home. Her four immediate family members were among at least 36 people killed by tornadoes that scarred communities scattered across hundreds of miles of the nation's midsection from Alabama to Indiana.
In Kentucky farming country, people remembered friends and family members who were killed in the most powerful storms to hit the eastern part of the state in nearly a quarter-century. Tracy Pitman said she was at home with her husband and 4-year-old grandson when a tornado with winds of up to 130 mph hit.
"I grabbed my baby and I said, 'Baby, lay down' and I got on top of him and my husband got on top of me and it was already happening, just flipping us over and over and over," said Pitman, of East Bernstadt, Ky., a small town 70 miles south of Lexington.
As the accounts were passed around, emergency officials trudged with search dogs past knocked-down cellphone towers and ruined homes looking for survivors in rural Kentucky and Indiana, marking searched roads and homes with orange paint. President Barack Obama offered federal assistance.
The worst damage appeared centered in some hard-hit small towns of southern Indiana and eastern Kentucky's Appalachian foothills. No building was untouched and few were recognizable in West Liberty, Ky., about 90 miles from Lexington, where two white police cruisers were picked up and tossed into City Hall.
"We stood in the parking lot and watched it coming," said David Ison, who raced into a bank vault with nine others to seek safety. "By the time it hit, it was like a whiteout."
The spate of storms was the second in little more than 48 hours, after an earlier round killed 13 people in the Midwest and South. They were the latest in a string of severe-weather episodes that have ravaged the heartland in the past year.
Friday's violent storms touched down in at least a dozen states, killing 19 people in Kentucky, 12 in Indiana, three in Ohio, and one each in Alabama and Georgia. Indiana police had earlier reported a higher number of deaths but lowered it by two in a revision on Sunday.
The National Weather Service said the four twisters to hit Kentucky were the worst in the region in 24 years. In Indiana, an EF-4 tornado — the second-highest on the Fujita scale that measures tornadic force — packing 175 mph winds hit the town of Henryville, and stayed on the ground for more than 50 miles. Three tornadoes in Kentucky had wind speeds up to 160 mph.
The storms left behind a trail of shredded sheet metal, insulation, gutted churches and crunched-up cars.
The trailer that was once the home of Viva Johnson's mother was sitting in a graveyard on Saturday, covering the dead alongside downed trees and other debris. "You can't even tell where the headstones are," said Johnson, who lives in Pulaski County, Ky.
In Indiana, a toddler was found alone in a field near her family's home after a tornado hit in New Pekin. Authorities learned Saturday she is the sole survivor of her immediate family, said Cis Gruebbel, a spokeswoman for Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, Ky. The girl's mother, father, 2-month-old sister and 2-year-old brother all died Friday, Washington County Coroner Rondale Brishaber said. The toddler was in critical condition with extended family members at the hospital. Authorities are still trying to figure out how she ended up in the field.
"She is in extremely critical condition," Jack Brough, the girl's grandfather, told The Courier-Journal of Louisville. "She's had a lot of injuries to her head. The doctors told us that the next 24-48 hours are very critical."
About 20 miles east, a twister demolished Henryville, Ind., the birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken founder "Colonel" Harland Sanders. The second story of the elementary school was torn away, one of the city's three schools lost to the weather. The winds also blew out the windows and gutted the Henryville Community Presbyterian Church.
A school secretary said a bus left the city's high school Friday afternoon with 11 children, but the driver turned back after realizing they were driving straight into the storm. The children hid under tables and desks at the school nurse's station when the tornado hit; none were hurt, but the building is a total loss.
The school bus was tossed several hundred yards into the side of a nearby restaurant. Todd and Julie Money were hiding there, having fled their Scottsburg home because it has no basement.
"Unreal. The pressure on your body, your ears pop, trees snap," Todd Money said. "When that bus hit the building, we thought it exploded."
The storms also hit to the east in Ohio, where the Ohio River town of Moscow was so decimated that rugs hung from the trees.
In Kentucky, the Rev. Kenneth Jett of the West Liberty United Methodist Church was huddling with four others in the basement as the church collapsed.
The pastor and his wife had just returned to the parsonage when he turned on the TV and saw that the storm coming. Jett yelled to his wife to take shelter in the basement of the church next door, where they were joined by two congregants and a neighbor.
The last one down was Jett's wife, Jeanene.
"I just heard this terrific noise," she said. "The windows were blowing out as I came down the stairs."
They only had some bumps and bruises, able to escape the rubble through a basement door.
Friday's tornado outbreak had been forecast for days; meteorologists at the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center had said the day would be one of a handful this year that warranted its highest risk level. The weather service issued 297 tornado warnings and 388 severe thunderstorm warnings from Friday through early Saturday.
In April, when tornadoes killed more than 240 people in Alabama, it issued 688 tornado warnings and 757 severe thunderstorm warnings from Texas to New York, said Greg Carbin, warning coordination meteorologist at the storm prediction center.
In Harvest, Ala., which was hit last April, Cody Stewart said he was done owning a home for the time being after his house was damaged a second time. In his house for less than two months with repairs still incomplete, a tornado on Friday ripped the roof away and slung it into the backyard. This time, the damage is beyond repair.
"I think I'm going to live in an apartment awhile. I'm not superstitious, but it just kind of seems there's a path here and I don't want to be in it again, and I hope other people make the same choice," Stewart said.

The predatory schools of the for-profit college industry -- Kaplan, Corinthian, Bridgepoint, and others -- are on high alert. President Obama recently signed an executive order aimed at protecting veterans from bad behavior by these colleges. Speaking to U.S. troops at Fort Stewart, Georgia, the president called the conduct of these schools "appalling" and "disgraceful" and told the troops that these schools are "trying to swindle and hoodwink you." But the lobbyists for these for-profit corporations aren"t happy about the prospect of the federal government -- which accounts for 90 percent or more of the revenues of some of these schools -- at last providing some oversight.
The scam schools' lobbyists need a way to distract the public and lawmakers from the fact they've been caught again and again abusing veterans and sucking up taxpayer dollars while providing often poor quality programs.
So they did what lobbyists always do. They paid someone to argue on their behalf.
Air Force Gen. William R. Looney III was a "a former command pilot with more than 4,000 flying hours, including 2,500 in the F-15," but when he retired in 2008, he began consulting for the private sector. He hit the lecture circuit, giving "leadership" speeches for money. "His powerful stories from the military sphere seemed as relevant to us (business leadership) as they would be to a platoon commander or sports captain," said Tom Green, Manager at Bain & Company Inc. (where GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney worked).
In 2010, Looney joined the board of TUI University, an "online education" for-profit college. The school bragged that Looney's presence was a "testament to our track record of success with military and veteran students." The school last year embarked on a "Military Education Tour" to whitewash its record with veterans and other students. At the same time, Looney picked up Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology as a client. Both of these schools are members of the industry's APSCU lobby group.
As the public started to realize how badly for-profit colleges were ripping off the military community, Looney jumped to the schools' defense. He penned a column in Stars and Stripes, the community's premier paper, defending the industry. He warned that the federal government shouldn't think about cutting off APSCU's gravy train, because its colleges may "simply do a better job of meeting the special interests and requirements of military service and veteran students."
Looney went further in an interview with for-profit colleges lobby group APSCU, posted on its website. He called efforts to hold the industry accountable "an insult and an outrage" and said that if the government stops funding predatory schools that APSCU represents, it's equivalent to telling veterans "the benefit you have earned by doing this service can only be used in this way because we, the authorities, have determined that you are not savvy or smart enough to use this benefit wisely." Never mind accounts of for-profit college recruiters using high-pressure tactics on troops with brain injuries "so severe some of them couldn't recall what courses the recruiter had signed them up for. "
What's really an outrage is not the idea that the government won't dump taxpayer cash on schools that give our men and women in uniform a terrible education and leave them deep in debt. The insult is that Looney spent 40 years in the military only to end up working as a mouthpiece for an industry that is abusing his comrades.
But Looney doesn't sell his services for cheap. Looney charges between $20,001-30,000 a speech, according to his booking agency.

O'Connor v. Donaldson: Retelling a Classic and Finding Some Revisionist History
Behnke, Stephen H.
Bibliographic Citation
Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law. 1999; 27(1): 115-126.
This article discusses the 1975 Supreme Court opinion O'Connor v. Donaldson. The article first examines the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the basis for the O'Connor ruling. It then looks carefully at the Court's conclusions, with particular attention to the Court's reasoning and analysis. The article goes on to look at how the Supreme Court has interpreted O'Connor on subsequent occasions and suggests that the Court has often misconstrued its own decision. The article concludes by offering thoughts and commentary on the O'Connor opinion and its progeny.

Good on them. They should win the prize now instead of waz and Polly…rigged she is Ric gordons daughter? Scraping at straws during casting?
- 2 AJ { 08.24.11 at 12:29 am }
Interesting. I'm guessing there were multiple interested buyers after all since no-one would offer more than $850k once the reserve was publicly announced on national television.
Good news for them. It does make me wonder what happened with the sisters. Did they have a say in their house selling for the reserve? Surely, if they had a choice, they would have left the house on the market until it sold for more than the reserve?
- 3 rock2casbah { 08.24.11 at 2:50 am }
I think this will be the highest profit of them all. I figured the auction attendees were just bargain basement hunters and investors that is why the cheapest reserve received some bids. It certainly wasn't based on a competitive bidding field at all. Polly and Waz are nice people but anyone watching the series knows their house was the least of the 4 as far as million dollar potential.
- 4 smauge { 08.24.11 at 8:36 am }
So they still get the profit even thought the comp is finished?
- 5 nittywitty { 08.24.11 at 9:12 am }
Yep. They get the profit but not the $100000 competition prize which is for the highest profit at the auction. So happy for them. I'll bet the sisters aren't too happy they sold theirs on the night if that was their choice to make. Waiting and watching for the houses to sell now is more fun than the auction (which I didn't watch live). Now it's GO JENNA and JOSH.
- 6 nittywitty { 08.24.11 at 9:29 am }
Looks at though making money in real estate today is about luck. Just look at Polly and Waz. And who can leave out the couple who sold to channel 9 for $3.6 mil. They are holidaying in Europe before they return to their 3 storey home in Templestowe
- 7 Miss Piggy { 08.24.11 at 10:43 am }
Wow, I bet they are SPEWING the house didn't sell at auction as they would've one the $100k. Maybe a public, televised circus, I mean auction, just won't work for this show anymore.

The BE Living Cookbook
Optimal health is as complex as the human body itself. Unfortunately, in the past, the modern food industry has produced borderline toxic food for us to consume.
Because this toxicity is not as apparent as say, food poisoning, we go on eating pro-inflammatory fats and sugar-dense meals full of additives and preservatives, never the wiser. As more people are subjected to diabetes and chronic inflammatory conditions, especially early in life when the body should be full of vigor, both families and scientists have begun to look closely at the role that food consumption plays in health.
As you probably know, there is a problem when we are constantly exposed to toxins in our foods, in our air, and in our water. However, we need also look at what we think is healthy just because we buy it at a health food store.
Many foods and supplements in natural markets are still loaded with fillers and are high in sugar. Many of the large organic farms that deliver produce and meats are not providing the quality you think you may be paying for. In last week's newsletter, we discussed the difference between grass-fed beef that is grain-finished and grass-fed beef that is green-finished. This is one of the many examples of the ways these organic farms have to cut corners in order to supply the large health food stores.
At the age of 20 years old, Jordan Rubin was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and showed symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Candida overgrowth, as well as several viral infections.
Why? Beyond Organic dairy has what Rubin calls a "four-fold difference."
Health is not just about calorie counting, reducing sugar in the diet, or even taking a probiotic supplement. If you have at all struggled with your own health, you know that health is about mind, body, and spirit.
Rather than sell to large retailers, Beyond Organic sells to individuals. This puts the power of the food industry back into the hands of the consumer.
Sadly, modern foods available to us today are often borderline toxic and can affect our health and quality of life for the worse. On top of that, not every healthy, organic food sold at a health food store is as organic as it claims to be. Many organic farms cut corners in order to supply their products to large health food chains.
This is precisely why Jordan Rubin created Beyond Organic to focus on quality foods beyond the label of "organic." Beyond Organic foods commit to making a four-fold difference:
Optimal health is not just about dieting to stay at a healthy weight. It is essential to nourish your mind, body, and spirit with safe foods that are truly Beyond Organic…

Stringing Your Wedding Music Together
During Your Ceremony
Usually a softer, more romantic style is played to set the tone and ease guests into the mood. The most popular format for weddings is:
- 15 minutes of music played as guests arrive
- a special piece as the bride walks down the aisle
- 1 or 2 pieces as the register is signed
- a piece for the recessional, when the couple leave as husband and wife.
During Your Reception
The wedding music played during your reception often includes a wider selection of music to reflect your taste and those of your guests, however string music is generally played
- as drinks and canapés are served
- before the reception dinner
- while photos are being taken to entertain guests
Sharing the Love
Deciding whether to employ an additional band is based completely on your personal preferences- there is no 'right', 'wrong' or 'done' procedure. Generally, couples organise a DJ or second band for the reception. Many couples, however, prefer to keep the celebration's atmosphere consistent, and have the string band play foreither the entire night, or at least until the end of dinner, before the dancing is underway.
However you want to structure your wedding music, the most important factor to consider is your own happiness. The ability to have complete creative control over your ideal atmosphere doesnt come around often, so use your own sense of satisfaction and excitement as your music-planning barometer.

Dave Chan/Reuters
Under the Tories, we intervene when it will matter, and no longer crave the approval of the UN.
In a series of year-end interviews last month, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird revealed just how much Canada's foreign policy has changed for the better under the Tories. Gone are the days when our diplomats avoided taking pointed stands on issues that mattered to Canada so they could pretend to be "honest brokers" among the world's warring nations. Call our new approach "muscular pragmatism." We intervene where our involvement can make a difference; no longer worry what the moralistic — but largely useless — United Nations thinks of us; and are redirecting the efforts of our foreign service to expanding Canadian trade.
The "soft power" approach, advanced by the Liberals over two decades, got Canada nowhere and solved none of the world's worst problems. The Liberals told us Canada should no longer stand with its traditional allies, such as Israel. If we took a more neutral stand on such matters as Palestinian statehood, the combatants would look to us as an unbiased adjudicator, or so the logic went. It didn't happen that way. No matter how objectively we acted, the major powers never asked for our help. Even the United Nations, whose favour we were most trying to court, ignored us.
Our honest broker strategy failed us even where superpowers were less interested, such as in the Sri Lankan civil war. For years we refused to back the Sri Lankan government in its fight against the terrorist, separatist Tamil Tigers, despite the Tigers' repeated use of suicide bombings and other attacks on innocent civilians. But our hands-off approach won us the trust of neither side. All it accomplished was to make Canada the Tigers' largest single source of fundraising. By refusing to designate the Tigers as an outlawed terror organization in Canada, Ottawa permitted the group to use agents to extort tens of millions of dollars annually from ex-pat Tamils in Canada, potentially prolonging the conflict.
Under the Tories, we no longer are so naive and pretentious.
Take, for example, our decision to intervene in Libya in 2011, but not in Egypt, Syria or Tunisia. Ottawa judged, correctly, that the presence of our warplanes in the skies over Libya might help the domestic rebels defeat strongman Muammar Gaddafi, which it did (indeed, a Canadian general, Charles Bouchard, commanded the entire NATO effort). But there was no need to intervene in Tunisia — democracy there could win on its own — so we stayed quiet. Meanwhile, nothing could be done to direct events in Egypt or Syria, so nothing is exactly what we did, at least publicly.
The Tories also haven't hesitated to deal more responsibly with the United States. Sometimes that has meant drawing closer to Washington, as with the new Beyond the Border agreement, despite the usual protestations from the left that we are undermining our sovereignty. Sometimes it has meant reminding the Americans that we're certainly able to do business with others, if they're not interested — a recent example being Prime Minister Stephen Harper's musing about selling our oil to Asian markets if U.S. environmentalists make it too difficult for us to ship it south.
Perhaps the most welcome change in foreign policy under the Tories, though, is the way we no longer crave the UN's approval. In 2011, we refused to play games — such as joining in the UN's annual festival of Israel-bashing — just to win a seat on the Security Council. We opposed the General Assembly's motion to grant Palestinian nationhood in the absence of any Palestinian assurance to recognize Israel's right to exist. And, of course, earlier this month, we withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol, perhaps the UN's most high-profile initiative.
The Tories have even started to make nice with China in order to advance our trade interests with the world's most-populous country. Mr. Baird claims Ottawa will not soften its demands that China do more to respect human rights, political dissidents and ethnic minorities, but the Tories have decided to work with China for change, rather than to confront Beijing at world forums, as they had done while in minority. This sugar-instead-of-vinegar approach is more likely than the Tories' old confrontational ways to produce results.
There will still be plenty of hand-wringing by the Tories' critics about the way Tories are diminishing Canada's reputation on the world stage and harming our chances of having an outsized impact — "punching above our weight," as the Liberals liked to call it — on world events. But the opposite is true. In 2011, the Tories proved that standing up for Canadian interests, occasionally even forcefully, gets us much further on the world stage than our former, group-hug approach. We look forward to more of the same this year.

BSOD Playing Skyrim, BF3 and SW:ToR error 0x0000001e and 0x0000003b
Hi I hope someone can help me, I am new to all of this error reporting but I've tried to use the web to find answers before coming here, and I hope I have attached all the necessary files:
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit version, here's a rough look at my system:
8gb ddr 3 1600 (part no. CT2KIT51264BA160B - not sure that's any help)
AMD Phenom II x4 955 3.2ghz CPU
Line 6 Toneport UX2 Soundcard (usb interface)
I am not overclocking anything and my PC runs a ton of applications fine, I use it to record live music via my toneport soundcard and I edit and render videos with Sony Vegas fine, I just get a BSOD when using any games within 1 to 2 hours.
I have tried clean drivers for my GPU, even using a driver sweeper software from safe mode. I have tried to check that all my drivers are up to date in fact.
I have plenty of free space on my hard drive, and my PC case is very cool, the temps are around 28-30 degrees for the board and cpu at idle and 30-38 at load.
the gpu temps are 56 degrees max when playing games etc.
I've tried everything except dropkicking it! I see a lot of errors like mine but I don't have the skills to solve this puzzle, please help!
Thanks for reading this
PS. All the components bar the CPU are less than 6 months old, free from dust and securely fastened!

Welcome to Sevenforums; I hope we can be of assistance. Bear with me as this takes a bit of time to digest all the information in the bug report you filled out; usually ~20-30 minutes. I will try to post the most relevant information first.
|My System Specs
|16 Dec 2011
Please remove any CD/DVD virtualization software, such as Daemon Tools/Alcohol 120%, as they use a driver called sptd.sys that is known to cause BSODs. Use the sptd.sys uninstaller
I prefer TotalMounter as my CD/DVD virtualization software as it allows me to burn images to a virtual CD/DVD if I just want an ISO file instead of a disc, and it is free.
Many use MagicISO - Convert BIN to ISO, Create, Edit, Burn, Extract ISO file, ISO/BIN converter/extractor/editor as well, which is also free.
Also, as your BSODs are related to memory corruption/system file issues, run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
Also, run an elevated command prompt and type:
chkdsk /r c:
chkdsk /r d:
etc. for all drives with program files and system files.
Update the driver or remove the hardware/software that uses L6TPortB64.sys for toneport (if you don't know what it is, google it, and if all else fails, remove all hardware attached to your computer except the mouse, keyboard, and monitor). See Community: Toneport UX2 Drivers Will Not Install on Windows 7 RC1 64bit.
If the above fails, since it is possible it is a memory issue: Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial.
If memory checks out, run Driver verifier to determine any other bad drivers:
1. Backup your system and user files
2. Create a system restore point
3. If you do not have a Windows 7 DVD, Create a system repair disc
4. Run Driver Verifier
If Windows cannot start in normal mode with driver verifier running, start in safe mode. If it cannot start in safe mode or normal mode, restore the system restore point using System Restore OPTION TWO.
Thanks to zigzag3143 for contributing to the above steps.

thanks for your time - I am going to run the chkdsk utilities now, I've updated the toneport driver to the latest version and I've gotten rid of sptd.sys and daemon tools etc.
After running sfc /scannow the following message was recieved:
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
I'll get back to this tomorrow, as it's the middle of the night where I am. Thanks again!

Just for additional information, you have a lot of side-by-side errors with three programs:
1. Re-install the following:
Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x86)2. Install any updates to the programs in 1.
3. Uninstall and reinstall skype, AMD Install Manager and all AMD software, ATI HD6700 display driver, and Microsoft Security Essentials.
The above may or may not be related to your blue screens, but it will help optimize your computer's performance.

I've followed those instructions, I've had a day free from BSOD so far. Let's see if it stays that way! Thanks again!

Lishinu is the most intelligent retractable dog leash that you wear like a wrist watch.
Ljubljana, Slovenia, EU (PRWEB) November 04, 2013
Retractable dog leash Lishinu is characterized by the intuitive auto-lock system, which enables a harmonic movement of man and dog. Lishinu is easy to use as well as extremely light and very strong. Further on it has a patented auto-lock solution that enables Lishinu to work very intuitively and keeps users hands free. The sound it produces when auto-lock activates calms the dog down so he stops pulling the leash. It enables its users to keep full control of the dog with simple, natural motions of their hand and body. Plus it comes in many different color options.
In addition to practicality, comfort and fresh appearance, Lishinu's team focused on the quality of the product. Choosing the right material made it possible to keep it compact and lightweight. Lishinu is designed, developed and assembled in Slovenia, European Union. Because of all of its qualities, Lishinu is just one of a kind.
Lishinu was born from a rather bitter life experience which thankfully turned into a "Hollywood like" happy ending story. Grega, one of the creators of Lishinu, three years ago adopted a greyhound named Red. After one of many regular walks, Grega had to tie his shoes. At that point something scared Red. He started to run - very fast - and was soon out of the site and lost. After four days searching for Red, he was found exhausted but okay. Grega and his cousin Rok begun searching for a solution that would prevent this from ever happening again. Twenty months later Lishinu was born.
As Rok, one of the inventors of Lishinu, said: "When designing the Lishinu, we had our goal set to offer the users an experience of walking a dog while retaining their hands free and most importantly keep full control of the dog at all time. Lishinu also allows up to three meters of cord extension."
Reviews from people who have had the opportunity to experience Lishinu in real life have further confirmed that the product is intuitive and practical. As a vet excitedly said: "Its so cool - I keep my hands free and my wrist relieved - unbelievable!" A professional dog trainer has entrusted us: "Great product, suitable for obedient as well as those 'a bit' naughtier dogs."
Lishinu is now ready and waits for your support. On Monday, November 4th 2013, Lishinu has launched the campaign at Indiegogo.com. The funds raised will be used for starting the production of Lishinu.
Be among the first to secure a Lishinu and become part of the revolution.

<begin soap box rant>
Time and time again I find myself having to email people to remind them about how and when to use BCC when sending out correspondence to a huge group via email.
The main rule of thumb I tell the senders is that if dialog is not needed between everyone on the email and it is basically and FYI communication, then everyone does not need to see everyone's email address. This is especially true for news letters from churches, schools, and other organizations.
In a corporate world this is especially important. If you are emailing out to a large list of people, even using a distribution group such as "ALL IT", you should still use BCC to avoid the "REPLY TO ALL" scenarios.
In the non corporate environments, one should also consider if you have the permission of the people to share their email addresses. When people sign up for communication from a church, civic organization, school, doctors office etc, they expect a certain level of privacy. Turning around and sharing their personal email address with dozens or hundreds of complete strangers is a quick way to lose their trust in you.
According to wikipedia "BCC is often used to prevent an accidental "Reply All" from sending a reply intended for only the originator of the message to the entire recipient list"

We are thrilled to be releasing the new Extreme Face Protector, the first and only welding mask that offers 180-degree perfect peripheral vision in addition to other industry-first features. ... we know this mask will change the way you work.
Sherman, TX (PRWEB) July 01, 2011
Save Phace, the world's leading manufacturer of face protection, is excited to announce the Extreme Face Protector is now available for consumers and retailers. The new helmet employs revolutionary technology to enhance user's experiences.
The Extreme Face Protector includes the world's first and only Auto Darkening Filter that has been integrated into a 180-degree welding lens. With more the two times the viewing area, users will experience welding, grinding and general face protection in a completely new way.
"We are thrilled to be releasing the new Extreme Face Protector, the first and only welding mask that offers 180-degree perfect peripheral vision in addition to other industry-first features," said Jerry Wright, CEO of Save Phace. "Through years of market research and thousands of testing hours, we know this mask will change the way you work. We are also excited to announce that the price is unheard of, you will have to check the website to see."
In addition to the Auto Darkening Filter, the Extreme Face Protector offers 180 degree peripheral vision as well as a face-forming profile that enables users to get into tighter spaces. The unique design allows more heat to escape, resulting in a cooler welding mask—6 degrees cooler, to be specific. In addition, the helmet comes ready with a 9-point High Halo-quality headgear to allow maximum vision and air flow options.
The new welding helmet also comes in a number of styles and colors, including the "Old School Series," which features the welding helmet with 180-degree viewing area, and the Gen X Series, which has an ADF-Integrated 180-degree viewing lens. For more information, check out the Extreme Face Protector online.
The helmet is highly versatile in its options and appearance. Simply replace Welding lens that comes with each Extreme Face Protector with a clear lens for use as a grinding mask, splash guard or related projects that require face protection. There are several shades of lenses from which to choose, including 3, 5, 8, 10, 12 and 14. Each lens is treated with anti-fog, anti-abrasion and UV coatings at the factory to eliminate any fogging.

An easy scone recipe is Tyler Florence's Blueberry Scones with Lemon Glaze, which cuts butter into a mixture of flour, baking powder, salt and sugar to form a breadcrumb-like consistency. Blueberries are added, followed by cream, then lightly combined. The dough is shaped and baked, then topped with a lemon glaze of heated lemon juice, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest and butter.Continue Reading
Blueberry Scones with Lemon Glaze
This easy recipe yields eight scones.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Ready in: 40 minutes
Heat the oven to 400 F. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a bowl and cut in the butter using forks until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Without squashing the fruit, fold in the blueberries, then form a well in the mixture and add the heavy cream. Gently combine.
Place the dough on a lightly-floured surface and shape into a rectangle, cutting down to four 3-inch squares. Cut these diagonally to form eight triangular scones. Place these onto an ungreased baking sheet and brush the tops with heavy cream. Bake until browned, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Sometimes, those long-lost albums are actually released.
Case in point: Mike & The Melvins' Three Men and a Baby. The album, from bassist/vocalist Mike Kunka (godheadSilo, Enemymine) and The Melvins, who toured together in 1998 and decided to record an album together in 1999.
A great number of things – everything from whooping cough to gear theft to surgery, according to a press release – occurred to keep the album on a shelf from 1999 to 2015, which is when, "much to everyone's surprise, the involved parties reconvened, finished the damn thing, and delivered it post-haste to Sub Pop International Headquarters, where it was promptly scheduled for the coveted April 1st, 2016 release date," according to Sub Pop.
Check out the album's "Chicken 'n' Dump":
Three Men and a Baby is available on CD, vinyl, cassette and as a digital download (iTunes and Amazon MP3).

- Dead Canaries
- Pound the Giants

Looks like athletes will not be the only centers of attraction come the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
This is because Japan is planning to develop unmanned taxis which will transport passengers attending the Games, according to an earlier story by Quartz.
These self-driving "robot" cabs will soon be tested in one Japanese town, and developers are hopeful that by the time the Olympics arrive, the said technology will already be used in a wider scale.
The autonomous driverless taxi, being developed by Tokyo-based company Robot Taxi, will start conducting field tests by the end of March 2016 in Fujisawa, a coastal town outside Tokyo. Here, residents will be driven from their homes along main roads to the supermarket on 3-kilometer rides.
While the cabs will make use of a GPS, rada,r and stereovision cameras, attendants will still be in the driver's seat during the journeys should human intervention is needed.
The company hopes the trail runs will enable it to launch thousands of new taxi units by 2020, coinciding with the Summer Games, according to chief executive Hiroshi Nakajima.
He also hopes this technology will give commuters a cheaper alternative to a human-driven taxi.
A joint venture by DeNA (one of Japan's mobile internet pioneers) and ZMP (a robotics firm), the project won't be building cars from scratch. Instead, Robot Taxi will be adding driverless capabialities to existing cars along with designing, creating, and marketing the service.
Japan is the best place to develop and deploy driverless cars, it being one of the fastest-ageing countries in the world.
A number of accidents involving older drivers have risen in recent years. Japanese drivers aged 75 and older were at 4.25 million in 2013, and figures are expected to exceed by 5 million in the next three years.
Should the Fujisawa trial runs prove successful, the robot taxis could be used to transport spectators to and from Olympic venues and also be deployed in rural communities with little or no public transport.

Cold weather is coming and so is the common cold. As people start looking for supplements to build up the immune system and prevent colds during the winter months, a new study shows that zinc supplements may be the best way to prevent the common cold.
A recent report shows that taking zinc supplements were found to be beneficial at preventing colds. Additionally, the study, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, emphasizes that hand washing was also effective at preventing the illness spreading, the authors concluded. "The best evidence for the prevention of the common cold supports hand-washing and possibly the use of zinc supplements," said Dr. Michael Allan, of the Department of Family Medicine, at the University of Alberta.
At least two trials indicated that children who took 10 or 15mg of zinc sulphate daily had lower rates of colds and fewer absences from school due to colds. Although the studies carried out on children the researchers concluded that there is no reason zinc could work only in children and not adults.
The common cold affects adults approximately 2-3 times a year and children under age 2 approximately 6 times a year. Symptoms such as sore throat, stuffy or runny nose, cough and malaise are usually worse in days 1-3 and can last 7-10 days, sometimes as long as 3 weeks. Only about one in 20 colds are caused by bacteria, with the majority caused by a virus which cannot be treated with anti-biotics.
"It is also important to note that these products are not designed for curing or preventing the spread of disease. Daily vitamin supplements provide important nutritional insurance for millions of users looking to safeguard their nutritional intake alongside a healthy diet."

"Don't judge a book by its cover." How many times have you heard that? It's good advice, but hard to follow. We're hard-wired to make judgments about others. It's how we have survived as a species. Making relatively quick assessments about whether the person we're encountering is a friend or foe…a danger or a threat, is a valuable skill. But making those judgments should be based on what we see, hear and feel when we interact with a person. They're only valid assessments when we really see the other person. "Judging a book by its cover" refers to those times when we have stopped looking, stopped seeing the other person, and judged them instead by a superficial facade.
Most of the time, "don't judge a book by its cover" has been used to remind us that people we might judge as bad (or a threat) based on their outward appearance, are really good people if we would just look more closely. Let's face it – we are mostly really bad at this. We see an obese person and we assume undisciplined. We see a toothless person and assume uneducated. We see a hoodie and assume a thug.
Abusers know this, and they use it to their advantage. They know that we also assume good characteristics in people based on the superficial exterior. We see active in charitable causes and assume selfless. We see teacher and assume role model. We see a talented celebrity and assume noble artist. We see minister/priest and assume righteous. We see captain of the football team and assume good kid.
My abuser chose the cover of ministry and public service. Jerry Sandusky chose the cover of role model for at-risk boys. Bill Cosby chose the cover of Cliff Huxtable. And it worked so well, that even when people caught glimpses of the real truth, caught wind of allegations, they refused to look behind the covers.
There were signs. The man who was molesting me caught the attention of the church secretary. She used to look at me anxiously when I would come to the church and head down to the basement to sort the archives as an after school project. She knew it was creepy that he would lavish so much attention on a young girl like me. But she never said anything. There were other signs too. When he repeatedly lost his temper at basketball games and used his booming voice to make vicious statements directed at the referees. It made everyone in earshot uncomfortable. So he became President of the Rotary Club, and they dismissed his outbursts as an overzealous fan under stress.
Being sexually abused is a horrible, painful thing to endure. I think we can all agree on that. And the blame lies 100 percent with the abuser, not the abused. I think more people are beginning to see that. But not enough people understand the unbearable pain of watching your abuser enjoy the respect, admiration and accolades of people who are judging him by his cover…a cover that has been so easy for him to build because no one is looking, really looking, at him.
Less than 10 percent of abusers ever serve time for their crimes. Victims don't report because they know that they will not only need to confront their abuser, they will also have to confront the public's perception of him. Often, it is the latter that is the greater adversary. Every survivor who has ever threatened to tell, has heard the perpetrator say, "Go ahead…they'll never believe you." The reason a flood of victims tend to come forward after the first case makes headlines is because there is finally a crack in the cover.
My abuser retired from ministry to become mayor and a volunteer for hospice. Don't judge a book by his cover.

With 1.3 billion people, China is the world's most populous country, and government policies to limit population growth have significantly reduced the country's birth rate. To ensure that individual rights are protected, in 2002, China enacted the Population and Family Planning Law, which establishes couples' reproductive rights and safeguards their right to make informed and voluntary decisions about their reproductive health.
With support from the Ford Foundation, EngenderHealth partnered with China's National Population and Family Planning Commission (NPFPC) to:
- Build providers' skills to ensure that clients make informed choices and voluntary decisions about their reproductive health.
- Develop a training manual emphasizing gender equity, informed choice, sexuality, and clients' rights.
- Establish a core group of national trainers who have been educated in the project's methodology. In addition to improving their own technical skills, the doctors and nurses who complete EngenderHealth's training courses are trained to teach others, so that even one training event can have far-reaching effects.
- Sponsor a series of workshops designed to advance the practice of client-centered service provision.
EngenderHealth's work in China ended in 2007.
