The Episode starts with Riya and Aman coming to cafe. She says Neil is not here, don't know where he went. Aman says he is policeman, he would be busy, give him some space, we will leave. He collides with Ali. Juice falls over his shoes. Ali apologizes. Aman scolds him. Ali thinks who is this guy with Riya. Aman asks Ali to clean his shoe. Ali gets angry. Neil says enough dressing now. Avni says sit quiet, your mum will get worried. She does the aid. He looks at her. He says forgive me for mistake, trust is like the glass pieces, once it breaks, it does not join again, do you believe this. She thinks try to ask me, but you won't get to know anything. Ali says this is my cafe, there should be a board here, rude and arrogant people are not allowed, now get out. Aman gets angry and stops him.
Aman says you may have to sell this cafe to me. Ali says you are very small in age and deeds, its foolishness to explain people like you, now get out. Aman says I can get your cafe shut by telling my Dadi, she can buy it, then you work here and clean my shoes, you don't know my Dadi. Fatima holds Aman's ears and says I will tell you, who is your Nani. She scolds him.
Ali smiles. Riya says old lady, leave him. Fatima scolds Riya and says you are with him, so I was thinking how did this ill mannered guy come here. Riya says yes, he is my brother Amol Mehta, Dayaben's grandson. Ali and Fatima get shocked. She thinks my Aman and cries.
Avni says I will call Maa and come, do you want to inform your family or want to stay in my house. He asks for his phone. She gives him. Neil calls DD and says I met with a small accident, I m fine, mom should not know this, get the medicine kit, there is medicine of every disease, we have medicine to get rid of all diseases. DD says I will get the magical medicine box. Avni asks Neil are you not breaking your mum's trust by hiding this, Gyaan is for others, not yourself?
Riya asks Ali to handle Dayaben, she can't bear Aman in problem. She asks Amol to come. They leave. Fatima says Ali, he is our Aman. Ali says he is our Avni's Aman, its that family's upbringing, don't worry, I will manage. He thinks to inform Neela that he got Aman, she will be happy. Prakash asks Dayaben to sit, and goes to get tea. She checks his phone to find out Neil. She sees him coming and keeps phone back. She says Neil would be taking good care of Shweta. He says Neil did not get free of police job, he went on field trip. She thinks Prakash does not know about Neil's accident, where is he. DD meets Neil and asks are you fine, what is she doing here, did she do this. He gets angry on Avni. Neil asks DD to stop his nonsense investigation, get my bag. Avni asks such a big bag. Neil says I was thinking to stay here till I recover. She asks him to go. Neil says you took care of me yesterday and now this attitude. She says you got much energy to ask, you did not say thanks.
Ali says I don't have Neela's number, I will go and give news that Aman got back. He is on the way. The man calls Ketan and says don't know what she wants, she is not saying anything. Ketan says keep her there, I m reaching. Neela struggles to get free.
Avni is leaving. Neil says you look in hurry, like a criminal is in hurry to end evidence. She says I m in hurry to find something, not hide, you think I m thief. She walks to him and says you think I don't know, you are staying here by false excuses, you want to check my house, have the keys, check everything well, take your time, don't forget to tell me if you get anything. She taunts him and goes. DD laughs. He says she is foolish, she gave keys. I will check and come. Neil says she gave keys as there is nothing to find here, we have to find about her, its written on her face that she is a liar, Ananya.
Avni says even voice messages are not going, I have to meet Aman and know accident truth. Ali reaches there and says Neela would be happy knowing Aman came back. She sees him and thinks if Ali sees me here, he will understand I m Avni. She goes by back door. She makes the car alarm ring. He thinks what happened to car. He checks the car. She locks the main door. He stops the alarm. He walks to the house again. She runs. Neela says Avni would be worried, I have to leave any way, Lord help me. The goons drink. Neela falls down the stair. The goon says you can't run away. They make her sit back.
She gets the photos from the man's pocket and thinks this proof will take Dayaben to jail. Dayaben says Prakash also does not know about Neil, go to police station and find out Riya. Riya asks Amol to come with her. Dayaben and Amol worry. Dayaben says no, he won't go anywhere, Amol take rest at home, I will go police station with Riya. She asks Amol not to worry for anything, I will find Neil.
Ketan reaches the place. Neela tries to get free. Ketan thinks who is that woman who reached here by following me. Neela opens the ropes and runs from here. Ketan and the goon come and see her gone. The goon says she was here. Ketan asks where did she go. He scolds the goons. He worries.
Ali sees the house locked and says maybe I did not see this before. He leaves. Avni hides and thinks to meet Aman soon. She calls Neela again. She worries as Neela's phone is off.
Naamkaran 15th April 2017 Written Episode Update Precap : Avni says my heart is right, my Aman can't hurt anyone, I can't wait more, I want to meet him once. She goes to see Aman and gets shocked seeing Aman beating an old servant, and drinking.

Here's an article: hxxp://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2008/07/15/why-the-google-keyword-tool-is-useless-for-seo-even-with-exact-numbers/ Another good discussion (I know it's from Warrior Forum but the discussion looks useful): hxxp://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-ppc-seo-discussion-forum/21175-warriors-beware-google-keyword-tool-apparently-not-so-good-search-engine-optimization.html Personally, I stick to Wordtracker and this SEO Book Tool for keyword research: hxxp://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/ However, when I use the above tools in conjunction with the Google Trends Tool and the keyword Tool, the results are always so different. Sometimes Wordtracker will report 200 hits for the keyword daily, yet when I look at Google's tools, they say otherwise. Google's Trend and Keyword Tool may even tell you that there is not enough data to report on the traffic! So my question is, which tool should we trust? It's obvious that they all report different stats.

The Geminid meteor shower at Flight Level 380
I hope you like the picture, it took me 75 photos of 15 sec exposure each to get only two with meteors in the frame.
The camera was isolated from airframe vibrations by a soft padding on the glareshield, I used a two-second self-timer to avoid shutter release camera shake.
[Canon 6D + Samyang 14mm f2.8 wide open, ISO 16000, 15sec]

So, nearly 12.000 meters of the earth atmosphere is bellow your camera!
This means that the Seeing was great there at your desk and also you were at the worm seat of the cockpit, hunting Geminids. Hm ... What a great way to do wide field astrophotography!
Thanks for this nice result and enjoy your flights.

Reframe Your Life: Transforming Your Pain Into Purpose : Everyone needs a way to break free from the pain of their past. By explaining and illuminating a psychological technique known as 'reframing,' bestselling author Stephen Arterburn puts listeners on the path to freedom from old wounds. Arterburn realizes that in many cases, traumas are so severe that individuals feel unable to take even the most basic steps toward healing. Reframe Your Life instructs listeners on how to view hurtful events through a more informed frame of reference, allowing them to look at dark moments from a broader perspective than the events themselves and empowering them to step into a brighter future. Abridged on 3 compact discs. Read by the author.

How can we make sure more women authors get published, and their ideas heard? One woman at a time.
A good start would be for each woman to consider her book project as a product development effort as part of a business. It is a creative process, but it is also a business proposition and you must plan for it as you would for any business. Creating a book has financial, marketing, and product design implications. And second, get help from publishing professionals in creating a book that is intelligently designed, well written and has broad appeal. Finally, people buy books because they want to take a piece of the author home with them. A new woman author must make herself into a brand and promote herself and her book aggressively and persistently.
One of the trends in book publishing that is assisting women in their efforts is self-publishing. We've seen a number of women do very well with self-publishing. Some have been very successful selling their own books as part of already established speaking and consulting careers. Others have had their books noticed by major publishers, resulting in lucrative offers. Self publishing allows the new author to get a book in print much more quickly, so she has something to sell to clients and others. She can then continue to make changes in the book because the book is hers and she keeps only a limited inventory, allowing for immediate flexibility. It will become even more common in the future.
Women will continue to make strides and bring their voices to the important issues through their books. It is very gratifying for us here at eWomenPublishingNetwork to help a woman with an important contribution make that available to benefit everyone through a book.

The Modern Language Association (MLA) recently released the results of its latest study of foreign language enrollments in America's colleges and universities. Media coverage of the survey focused on the good news, and some of it is good indeed: From 1990 to 1995 there was a significant increase in the number of students studying Spanish (13.5 percent), and both Chinese and Arabic enrollments grew significantly (36 percent and 28 percent respectively) - though from a very small base to start with.
Apparently lost in the blizzard of positive press, however, was some dismal news: The increases in Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, and some of the other critical, though less commonly taught languages are not the result of a growing number of students who recognize - as they should - the importance of competence in languages other than English to their personal and professional lives. The increases have come at the expense of French, German, and Russian (the last down nearly 45 percent!). Overall, undergraduate enrollment in foreign language courses has declined since 1990, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of total enrollment.
In 1979, a report issued by a presidential commission termed Americans' "scandalous incompetence" in foreign languages and international studies a "national disaster." Shortly thereafter, former Sen. Paul Simon (in "The Tongue-Tied American") warned of the serious consequences to our national interest of what has been called our "devout monolingualism." Nearly two decades later, the results of the MLA study show that we have paid little attention to those warnings.
Falling numbers of students
The percentage of all college undergraduates engaged in any level of formal foreign language study was actually slightly lower in the fall of 1995 (7.6 percent) than it was in the late '70s, and less than half of what it was 30 years ago. Even more disturbing, the majority of students who do study a foreign language do so for only two or three semesters; thus few of them ever reach a level of communicative ability useful to their professional and personal lives.
It appears that our students (and, most likely, their parents and many of their teachers) do not seem to see the future looming before them. Yet the demands of that future are clearly visible. The United States faces opportunities and challenges sure to increase pressures for competence in language and cross-cultural communications. As a nation, however, we are dangerously unprepared. These pressures derive from the following factors:
*International economic competition: Our future success in global competition is dependent to a great extent on our ability to accurately understand and communicate with overseas markets. Further, providing services (the fastest-growing sector of our economy) in the international arena demands a much higher level of communications expertise than we now have. Successful ventures in the service arena require a sophisticated understanding of local culture and practice, residence in foreign cultures for extended periods, and interaction with a broad socioeconomic cross section of society - not just with the "gatekeepers" who may have some command of English.
*The telecommunications revolution: An elaborate worldwide telecommunications network has facilitated an exponential increase in the demands and opportunities for rapid transfers of knowledge and information on a global scale. But the US does not have the linguistic and cultural competence to take full advantage of all that the technology provides.
*Global issues: The resolution of a variety of global issues - such as ethnic strife and regional conflict, public health and environmental concerns, famine and drought, international terrorism, and the protection of America's interests and obligations - is to a great extent dependent upon our understanding of their cultural and linguistic contexts, and upon our ability to form effective multinational partnerships.
*Domestic diversity: The dynamic cultural landscape in the United States makes cross-cultural communications a critical domestic need as well. The country does not provide enough resources for speakers of other languages who live here to acquire English adequately for economic self-sufficiency and social integration (there are tens of thousands of people on waiting lists for English- as-a-second-language courses across the United States). At the same time, we are witnessing - and even encouraging - the rapid erosion of first- language competence in non-English-speaking communities, depriving the country of significant bilingual resources essential to the national interest.
The MLA data suggest neither a high level of interest in nor a high level of preparation for further language learning among American college students. They (and perhaps some of those who guide them in their enrollment decisions) have a tendency to view the study of foreign language as unimportant, irrelevant, and/or impossible. Unimportant, they believe, because the world speaks English. Irrelevant because those students who see foreign language competence as desirable often do not see language programs at their institutions addressing that goal. Impossible because their own experience has often taught them that foreign language competence is not obtainable within the context of the current language-learning system.
Why study foreign language?
These perceptions are - for the most part - inaccurate, but they have been reinforced by our inability to make a compelling case for the importance of learning foreign languages. The traditional argument that knowledge of another language is an important part of being an educated person, while entirely true, seems these days to lack motivational force. Moreover, the nation's public discourse is devoid of any sustained attention to issues of cross-cultural communication.
In fact, competence in cross-cultural communication is a national issue in the same way that economic competitiveness, national security, education, and health care are. Our inability to meet national needs for language competence is, to a great extent, the consequence of systemic dysfunction. Most decisions about language instruction are made locally in the context of immediate, short-term conditions and needs, rather than in the context of long-term national needs.
For example, many colleges and universities are responding to the decline in Russian enrollments by eliminating faculty positions, graduate programs, and whole departments - thus threatening the very existence of the next generation of expertise in this critical area of the linguistic world.
It is essential that we recognize national needs for language competence - and our capacity to meet those needs - as an important public policy issue. These needs must become a component of public discourse in America in ways that provide an informed and intelligent context for decisions about language - decisions made every day, at every level, in every sector of our society.

Home Insurance. Thursday , March 01st , 2018 - 10:42:21 AM
The trouble with this logic is that although many believe their insurance policy will properly cover them, in reality many will not be properly covered when disaster strikes. Take Hurricane Harvey for example. Approximately 70 percent of the flood damage from Hurricane Harvey was uninsured, according to CoreLogic, a leading source for flood and disaster risk data.
The Atlantic hurricane season is a little more than two weeks away, so now is a good time for homeowners along the coast to check their insurance coverage. The annual hurricane season runs for six months, from June through November. "A good place to start is your deductible," said Amy Bach, executive director of United Policyholders, an advocacy group that works on behalf of consumers with insurance. "It's really helpful to know what the dollar amount is."
In grading, you measure the slope of your yard and put grass down on top of the finished product to secure your new soil in place. The goal is to give water a place to run that will hold up long-term and protect your house's foundation. By taking care of the issue yourself, you'll learn how to lay seed or sod, which will make you more knowledgeable about taking care of that grass as it grows.

Vick's Number & NFL Rules
4 comments:
- Will said...
Not true, if the eagles activate 3 QBs, Vick can be third and will not have any restrictions. The issue is if the Eagles only want to activate 2 on game day and they designate Vick as the 3rd. Then if he comes in the other QBs can't. Still it'd be smarter to put Vick in as 2 and have Kolb be the designated 3rd QB just to save 1 extra active spot for someone else in case of injury.
- August 18, 2009 at 4:33 PM
I'm really at a total loss to understand the desire "to see Vick in this offense a good amount this year..." This is based on what, pray tell? His QB stats were nothing to write home about in his best years, and while he was able to freewheel it and take off when the O-Line broke down (or, more likely, when he couldn't find an open receiver since he had no clue how to read a defense), that's hardly the same as taking a handoff or pitch out as an RB. And exactly what from his playing days would indicate he has the slightest capacity to function successfully as WR? From what I remember of Vick's days with the Falcons, there's absolutely nothing that makes me the slightest bit interested in seeing him in our offense. Which, added to the other baggage, is what really makes his acquisition all the more bizarre to me.
- August 18, 2009 at 4:41 PM
Damn! After all his BS, looks like Favre has signed with the Vikings after all. Thought for sure Reid could make space for him on the Birds' QB merry-go-round. After all, they do have a history together and there must be something Favre could use redemption for. "Hallelujah, folks, just step this way into the Reid Revival Tent where all your sins can be absolved in the name of Jeffrie Lurie. Amen!"

I agree with Mr. Green. I would love to see what the "genius" offensive coordinator has in store for Mr. Vick. I think T-Bone forgets that Mr. Vick carried that god-awful Falcons team to a NFC championship game (the only one that the Eagles could manage to win). I'm pretty sure it's not that hard to learn how to take a handoff or pitch for that matter. Vick could be our X-factor this year. His QB stats were not staggering, but they also weren't Kyle Orton bad. I think there are a few teams that would rather have Vick than their starting quarterback right now.

"A 'Disruptive' Look at Competency-Based Education" from the Center for American Progress Competency Based education IS the future. Those who haven't figured this out have their heads stuck in sand. The question is What does it actually mean and what will it take to move your institution that direction. The article at the link above is touches on these points and provides a good discussion starter with your academic departments. Institutions which neglect these conversations are going to be sad sooner than later. It would be interesting if we were to engage......

There were certainly some big hits and bigger misses. Coach Al Golden said they targeted just 27 players and was happy to get 16. Criticism was came locally when signing only five Florida players, but Golden said they were looking at players based on need, not location. They were hoping for a top running back and could still get one with the Alex Collins saga extending beyond signing day.
Big catch
Landing WR Stacy Coley and LB Jermaine Grace was huge for UM after missing out on several big names early in the day. The Hurricanes sought only one receiver in the class, so getting a top-10 player at his position was huge in Coley. Landing Augustus Edwards, the No. 1 fullback on Rivals' board, started Miami's day on a positive note.
Got away
It didn't stay sunny long. Coveted 5-star linebacker Matthew Thomas chose FSU over UM and cited a scholarship issue with teammate Denver Kirkland as one of the reasons. The 'Canes missed out on defensive tackles Keith Bryant and Jaynard Bostwick in a spot they really needed help.
"It's like 'The Godfather.' This is the business we've chosen. It's up, it's down. That's the way it is." — Golden on the emotional swings of signing day.
Five impact players
Stacy Coley, WR (Fort Lauderdale)
With so many top receivers returning, Coley might not need to be a Herb Waters or Malcolm Lewis who's forced into a starting role right away. But he could be a solid specialty receiver with the reputation to step in. He made quite a splash with the "Swag" hat on the ESPNU telecast of his signing.
Ufomba Kamalu, DL (Butler CC)
Golden beamed when talking about this junior college addition. He had the look of someone who nabbed an unknown talent who could contribute right away. A pass-rushing defensive end, Kamalu could fill that major gap in the 2012 defense.

Romantic Ghost Story
Rating: 3 Cups
Leora Grace Mayweather was to be the one and only mistress to the Mayweather House. She had fallen in love and eventually married Captain William Thomas Mayweather. However their love was cut short when she perished on their honeymoon voyage aboard the Leora. Captain William Thomas Mayweather had commissioned the Mayweather House to be built for his lovely bride. The house was to be one of the most magnificent homes in all of England. Upon the death of his wife the Captain was so distraught that he himself died of despair not long after.
Nancy Lee Abernathy had experienced many adventures in her long life. The curse of the Mayweather House had drawn her and her friends like it had many others over the years. With the help of her guardian angel she escaped with her life and her sanity, but others were not so lucky. But she was ready to be reunited with her late husband and son.
Roaming the mists of the afterlife the ghosts of Leora Grace and Captain Mayweather searched for each other for over a hundred years. They knew that to end the curse of the Mayweather House they would have to enlist the help of Nancy Lee Abernathy and several other people in the living world. The curse had been put upon the Hunley land long before the Mayweather House had been built. A young slave girl that had been tortured by the Hunley's cursed the land and those that owned it for all eternity. Centuries later during the building of the Mayweather House, the curse took on a new twist with the evil Tommy Ray Hussyman vowing to kill Leora Grace and Captain Mayweather. He was so enraged when Leora Grace chose the captain over him that he vowed to never let anyone have her if he could not. So for the next one hundred plus years the star crossed lovers tried to find their way back to each other through the fog of the dead. The ghosts of Leora Grace and Captain Mayweather along with several others fought against the evil spirits to bring an end to the curse. They knew that the time had come and they had to work quickly before they lost their only chance of being together forever.
This is a timeless story of love and tragedy. Nancy Lee was a force of nature. Being elderly did not stop her from loving and living with all of her heart. Leora Grace was blessed by the hand of God and loved without measure. Even after her death she continued to have faith that someday she would be reunited with her William. Captain Mayweather was strong and true to his vows. He searched endlessly for his wife whom he would love for all eternity. The ghosts of Leora Grace and William unknowingly came together and told their story through the voice of Nancy Lee, hoping that someday the fogs would lift and they would be together once again. The battle of good and evil continues to wage as this story unfolds and the devils' day is coming to an end. With faith in God we must believe or be forever lost in darkness.

There are many things on the way to Friday that are worth celebrating – some big, some little – and they deserve their own time. I'm taking some time again this week to highlight some of my favorite things and to be thankful for more than just the fact that it's Friday.
This week, some of my favorite things were:
- The sun shining through the cold weather to make a bitter day just a little better
- Layers and layers of warm clothes and thick (but fun!) socks to keep you warm
- A car that runs with a heater that works!
- Health insurance that allows me to make regular visits to the doctor, just to make sure everything is ok.
- Quiet mornings at Starbucks savoring a scone and a hot beverage before going into work
- The opportunity to pursue new skills and opportunities with good friends
- Old-fashioned written correspondence and learning new things about your grandparents. These letters are valuable to me know; imagine how much more they will be worth someday when they're not here?
- Pushing through the doubt and voices in my head that say my dreams aren't realistic to take steps toward making them come true anyway. And knowing that just two years ago, I would have let them win. That's a little victory worth celebrating right there!
- Letting myself take a step back and adjust to all the changes professionally and realizing that I've been given a great opportunity to learn as much as possible and to expand my own ways of thinking.
- Libraries! What would life be like without the ability to borrow books? And that's not even considering the fact that I get paid to be at one three days a week… Do you have any idea the things you books you get to see and consider when working at a library that you have no idea existed when you're just a patron?

What's included in an organizational membership?
The Initial Point Assured plan integrates with all types of major medical plans by providing a broad range of services to support an individual's insurance coverage.
For employee's who do not have medical insurance under your organizational umbrella, Initial Point Assured also coordinates with an individual's coverage under a spousal plan or though the exchange.
It can also be combined with a healthcare cost-sharing option (also called "medical cost sharing") to provide major medical support for those individuals who are 100% self pay. Some of these non-insurance programs may help with a portion of the monthly direct primary care membership fee.
What is the cost?
There is an affordable annual membership fee for a business based on the number of employees or members in your organization. This membership also provides additional benefits, such as health and wellness sessions for your employees, educational materials and more.
Employees can access Initial Point Assured's comprehensive services for $79/monthly for an adult 45 years and over, $59/monthly for an adult 20 to 44 years, and $19/monthly for those 0 to 19 years (with at least one adult). Based on the number of employees enrolling at your organization, the cost may be less. Some companies choose to supplement a portion of the employee monthly fees while others do not.
How soon can services begin?
There is no waiting period. Benefits can begin immediately after enrollment or scheduled to become active at the start of an insurance plan year.
Are direct primary care programs in compliance with the Affordable Care Act?
Is it required that an employee be enrolled in an organization's group health policy to participate?
No, any employee or member may participate in this benefit.
Does an employee need to have a specific work status to access the benefit?
It only requires that the individual is an active employee at the time of enrollment to be eligible through a company's membership.
How do we get started?
Let us know you are ready to proceed or if you have questions about options for your organization by completing the quick form or calling us. We'll answer any questions you may have, provide the simple enrollment form and work with you to set a schedule for introducing the new benefit to your employees.
A better solution to healthcare

i chose Stone Mountain, Georgia as my place of retreat from 2007-2009. the village was small and old-fashioned; most of the storefronts on the main street were closed. i rarely saw people in the streets, parks, or even yards. still, it was a beautiful place and time for me. sultry, desolate, slow. i learned about plants and also myself. i spent a lot of time alone, considering my strengths and fears, both of which grew/shrank beneath such focus.

When one thinks of a zombie apocalypse, a vibrant metropolis crawling energy drink–infused mutations usually would not be among the first visuals to come to mind, but that's exactly what Sunset Overdrive is. The latest title by developer Insomniac Games takes the tired trope and supercharges it in a third-person shooter with colourful characters, fast-paced platforming and the most unlikely of projectile launchers that pass as weapons.Read more »
Never Alone explores a first-of-its-kind collaboration between game developer, Upper One Games, Cook Inlet Tribal Council, and the Alaska Native community to reinvigorate Iñupiaq folklores that were once previously only passed through generations by traditional verbal storytelling.

One of the indie games that stole the show at PAX Australia this year was a little game called Never Alone (Kisima Inŋitchuŋa). At a glance, it may seem like a standard puzzle platformer but it's conception is what makes this game so incredibly unique. Developed by Upper One Games in consultation with Alaska Native elders, Never Alone is a way of preserving historical and cultural stories that were once simply passed through generations by storytelling.Read more »

Destiny has been likened to a lot of things, with the most common opinion dubbing the game as an MMO. Personally, I've thought of it as a blend between Halo, Borderlands and Diablo III. Halo, well, because Bungie. Borderlands because this game was one of the first to blend the first person shooter genre with role-playing mechanics, complete with class systems, levelling and—of course—bountiful loot. And finally, Diablo III because of the cooperative style story missions of the game. Sure, players can brave the hordes of enemies alone, but the appeal of both Destiny and Diablo III that keeps drawing […]Read more »

DVD Review: THE AQUABATS! SUPER SHOW! – SEASON ONE
Review: The Aquabats! Super Show! – Season 1 / Cert: PG / Director: Jason DeVilliers, Matt Chapman / Screenplay: Various / Starring: Christian Jacobs, Richard Falomir, James Briggs, Ian Fowles, Chad Larson / Release Date: 22nd July
MC Bat Commander, Crash McLarson, Ricky Fitness, Eagletones Falconhawk, and Jimmy The Robot; together they are the Aquabats, crime fighters and part-time rock band. It is their mission to fight crime and protect the innocent in this DVD collection of their first season.
We follow the Aquabats on several of their crazy adventures. In Manant, several attacks on burger joints across the city lead the gang to a villain who's making lies in the past of Crash McLarson. Meanwhile, in Mysterious Egg, the discovery of the aforementioned item by the Aquabats leads to trouble… of giant, mutant proportions! Also worth a note is Cowboy Android, in which the Aquabats find themselves in a typical Western town with a not-so-typical android Sherriff.
The Aquabats! Super Show! feels as if it rolls together elements of The Mighty Boosh with the Adam West Batman series and just a hint of The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for good measure and the result is very entertaining. The programme owes a lot to the 60s Batman series with its absurd plots, its amusingly, over the top villains, and its comic melodrama; children will find it perilous whereas their parents will find it utterly hilarious, which is all part of its charm. Another nice feature is the parodies of adverts aimed at children, while the cartoon interludes give Aquabats that feel of the Saturday morning telly of yesteryear, which is very appealing.
However, its fundamental flaw is that it is nothing we haven't seen before; you can watch around three to four episodes before it becomes boring (it took this reviewer the best of a week to get through the box set). Meanwhile, even for someone who does have a passion for slapstick, Aquabats does get that bit too silly at times (though I do appreciate that it is largely aimed at children).
Aquabats! Super Show! takes you back to the television of your youth; big stories and big villains, with its tongue firmly in its cheek (and its only when you're an adult do you realise the irony). It doesn't reinvent children's television but it is certainly entertaining.

Palm Pre ReviewPalm Pre
Let's take a step back two years. The cellular world was about to enter a transitional period, with the world anticipating the release of the iPhone and R&D departments at the major manufacturers working furiously to put out something that could hold its own. The iPhone has gone on to unprecedented success, and while there have been some formidable competitors (HTC and Samsung come to mind) no one has truly captured the ease of use and wow factor like Apple did. All the while Palm, a company that brought true innovation to the mobile space so many years ago, is on the brink of collapse.
webOS is based off of simple web coding, making developing easier than ever and enticing to not only hardcore developers but casual web designers as well.
Software is not the only calling card of the Pre though; Palm has paid a lot of attention to the design of the Pre as well. In fact, inconspicuously placed in the packing material you'll find "No detail is small." It features a now common large, touchscreen display. Uncommon, however, is its multi-touch technology, and unprecedented is a multi-touch with a hardware keyboard (unofficial G1 hacking notwithstanding.) The portrait keyboard holds true to Palm's long philosophy of one-handed use, and the touch gestures have been brought below the screen to enhance this philosophy. All in all Apple has never seen a competitor like this, and, though it took two years, the mighty iPhone may finally be dethroned.
The Palm Pre feels wonderful in the hand; there are no two ways about it. Inspired by a polished river stone, the Pre is full of curves. It fits comfortably and ergonomically in your palm, which is in sharp contrast to the iPhone's wide, boxy design. The Pre is much thicker, but doesn't feel as thick as it is.
You can compare the Palm Pre with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.
full QWERTY keyboard. Much has been said/rumored about the keyboard, which is very similar to the one found on the Treo Pro. After much time with it we have to say it's not bad at all, though not perfect. Those with bigger hands will probably have issues, but our above average hands got used to it after a day or two of use. The keys are shallower than the Centro and not as sticky. The former makes sense, as the display has to slide down over it, but we would have liked to see a bit more tackiness to the plastic keys. We will say, however, that the tackiness it has is different from the Centro, and after a few weeks it becomes less tacky which is a good thing. They are more on the hard then gel side, but nothing like the hard plastic keys of a Blackberry. All in all there could be a bit more spacing, and we'd have preferred if they would be shifted down just a smidge, but we have to say that we're impressed with the balance Palm has stuck between form and function.
3.1" display is brilliant, featuring a 320x480 resolution with 16.7M colors. Unlike the iPhone, where the display falls short of the bezel and in direct sunlight you can see the dead space, the panel blends seamlessly into the housing. It's so good, in fact, that as the display shrinks to show notifications (more on that later) you don't really notice. The gesture area below this only enhances this blurred border. Not only is it amazing to look at, but it's just as smooth to use. Multitouch is used in much the same way as the iPhone, and gestures such as pinching are just as simple and intuitive. Palm takes it one step further, however, by extending the capacitive area down below the display so you don't have to cover the screen with many gestures. Again, we'll go into more on this later.
The hardware buttons are very scarce. On the front you simply find a home button, on the left a volume rocker and in the top right corner a power button. A thankful carryover from the Treo is a vibrate switch on the top, next to the 3.5mm headset jack. The right side also houses a microUSB charging and data port, interestingly enough on the top half of the slide rather than the bottom. The back has a single, large speaker and the 3.2 megapixel camera with an LED flash.
The slide mechanism is hefty, but not too much so. While it feels great, we're seeing some isolated reports of loose slides. One of the only gripes we have is that, when slid open, the now exposed edges of the Pre are a bit sharp. Not enough so that we wouldn't use it, but we wouldn't mind Palm grinding it down just a touch.
Palm has done an amazing job with the design of the Pre. It is arguably the most comfortable device we've ever held, much moreso than the iPhone. We wouldn't mind seeing it slim down a bit and loose a small amount of weight, but we're stretching to find things right now. As we've come to expect from high end devices it fingerprints like crazy, and the plastic screen and housing is a bit harder to wipe clean than the iPhone's glass panel, but again we're stretching here. We're having a hard time thinking of a phone we'd rather carry than the Pre, and there certainly isn't one that has a full QWERTY.

9.9!!!! thats too high,the palm pre is a good phone but not that good to be the highest rated one!
6. legionsreturn (unregistered)
Well what do you expect when phonearena accepts cash for good reviews?
8. secondcor517 (Posts: 94; Member since: 06 Oct 2008)
i was thinking the same thing legion.... how much did they make from this review.
10. mr. anderson (Posts: 92; Member since: 16 Apr 2009)
first off, how stupid are you two? secondly, everyone knows sprint doesnt have the money to pay for anything much less reviews! im a vzw user, but have used my friends pre extensively. i assume you guys have not, because the score is well deserved. this is a game changer, plain and simple.
11. legionsreturn (unregistered)
So how much did you charge for that score? Im just curious, it must have cost all of 20 bucks!
2. legionsreturn (unregistered)
Oh come on! Reallly? Are you really that mallible in the face of corporate sponsorship? We already knew objectivity is a joke to you people but youve really outdone yourselves this time. Guess all you have to do to get a good review on phonearena is pay for it.
3. metalpoet (unregistered)
as a representatitve of verizon i must admit that sprint and palm did a really good job with the release of the pre and i truly hope it shuts up the iphone users!
4. Kiltlifter (Posts: 742; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
I agree... iPhone users are the worst.. has anyone seen the South Park episode where Kyle's dad gets a "hybrid" and then moves to San Francisco and there is a "smug" storm? Everyone I know thinks they are superior and so incredibly hi-tech just because they own it, even though none of them use it for anything more than they would an ipod touch. Let's just hope that Pre users don't fall into the same line of "Smug"... otherwise George Clooney's speech from the Oscars could make a supercell that would wipe out all of what is left of sprint's network... (if you don't get this comment just watch the episode).
28. ser3nitynow (Posts: 1; Member since: 23 Feb 2009)
HAHAHA so true... By the way that episode is hysterical.
30. legionsreturn (unregistered)
Southpark is indeed enjoyable.
44. jpdaballa (Posts: 3; Member since: 13 Nov 2009)
lmao that episode played tonight....
5. LGVX1993 (Posts: 260; Member since: 27 Jan 2009)
Not trying to be an ass but if you average up the scores you get an 8.9. There probably is some different way of calculating the total score though.
13. McMillian (Posts: 29; Member since: 07 Apr 2009)
Phone Arena is ignorant and they don't make any since. they obviously choose favorites when it comes to phones and their OS. Don't get me wrong I think the Pre looks like a great phone but I think Phone Arena completely over hyped the Pre in this review.
14. LGVX1993 (Posts: 260; Member since: 27 Jan 2009)
After about a while theyll be wanting to change some of this stuff. Any phone that ive had I loved for about a month or two and i got tired of it. One more thing, wouldnt the Pre be a little complicated for the Average Joe?
15. legionsreturn (unregistered)
I got a good laugh out of the average joe reccomendation, this was review obviously a foregone conclusion paid for by the corporate interests that birthed this phone.
23. martycota (Posts: 28; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
Wow, seriously, are you all iphone users bashing the review?! The phone has recieved generally positive reviews from all major reviewers and just because PhoneArena's is super high doesn't mean they were bought off?! Should I say that they were bought off by Apple for giving the Touch Pro a lower score then many sites just because they say that after the diamond it felt old?! And seriously, for average joe, this is probably the best smart phone out there. It offers an easy to use interface and is a smart phone unlike most smart phones that are blackberry or window which offer very little in user friendly handling.!!! Average Joe doesn't always have to be about having the dumbest phone out there, they obviously rated it based on how easy it is to use for a smart phone that offers just about everything, or will offer soon enough!!! Read the reviews before asking Steve Jobs what kind of demeaning comments you can post on the competition's reviews. Yes the iPhone might be a great phone, but it is in no way a smart phone and if you read the review you can see how the phone deserves quite a high rating on its own merits...
25. LGVX1993 (Posts: 260; Member since: 27 Jan 2009)
i dont know about everyone else but im not an iphone user and never have been and probably never will be. As you can probably tell by my name im with Verizon. I read the review from here and other websites and i know this is a good phone. I was just saying that the unweighted average of scores is 8.94 to be exact not 9.9. And also WebOS looks a little too complicated to me so i don't think it would be for the average joe. I also never said that average joe had to have the most basic phone around. I just wouldn't see one with a smart phone.

I sold my iPod Touch because it was not longer needed now that I have a Pre. For people that want games iPhone/Touch will always be king IMO. I want something that would replace the need to get on my laptop to do simple things and the Pre does that and then some. The web browser is almost perfect for a v1.0 as well as the media player. WebOS is just incredible...like the review said it is missing some pretty key features at the moment but some Palm has already confirmed they will come in future OTA updates. I think my favorite thing it the way SMS and email notification come through. It is just so well done and I can't imagine not having it now. The hardware build is my biggest concern. I think I will be exchanging mine because the keyboard slider does not slide out like it does on my wifes Pre. Battery life is really the only other issue which is why I picked up the Palm car charger which come with an extra data cable so I can charge at home, work and in the car. I look forward to the SDK being released to the public as well as the software updates from Palm. Once it has Flash support, notification light, video recording and soft keyboard I will be set with my dream phone!

I agree, this phone is awesome. I wish it already came with the ability to shot video but I guess it isnt that big of a deal since the updates will be OTA. I was really excited Sprint took on a phone that will actually live up to its hype and be competitive in the wireless industry. My main concern though is when Palm is gonna push out its WebOS to other providers. I'm glad its release to AT&T was just delayed. Hopefully for a while!

Im an iPhone user, and I dont find myself criticising other phones. There are a lot of features on the pre I would love, multi-tasking looks amazing, and the screen looks a lot more impressive then the iPhones. After 3 generations, it's time for apple to update the look and feel of the iPhone software, the screen could use an update as well. If the Pre were offered at Rogers, and had more than 8 GBs, and after expansion of the app catalog, I could see myself buying it.
16. bigdog805 (Posts: 20; Member since: 06 Jun 2009)
Finally a level headed iPhone user! People like you are hard to come by. Almost all iPhone users treat their phones like its their child and get soo defensive if anyone says anything negative about the phone or trys to compare to another phone. But I do agree the iPhone should change the look on it but then again they haven't needed to update it because it sells. But now that they might actually be getting competition they may have to do something more then just update the software.
17. zyxwv88 (Posts: 1; Member since: 13 Jun 2009)
It's funny the rivalry between the Pre and the iPhone. The Pre people consider it to be superior to the iPhone, and the iPhone people think that it's not even close to as good (of course the iPhone people don't want a phone to be better or they lose their perceived superiority over everyone else). Well, I'm a Pre owner, and I used to have iPhone envy until I got my Pre. I still think the iPhone is a good phone, and without it, the Pre probably wouldn't have been as good as it is. That being said, I have always considered myself open minded. I want the best technology, and what the best is tends to change constantly. For those of you complaining that the Pre can't possibly be as good as the iPhone and it can't possibly rate a 9.9, you really need to get one in your hands and really see what it does (with an open mind), and I think you'll agree that it is really that good. Synergy is just pretty amazing. It's never been so easy to combine information from so many sources before. I was blown away by how easily it syncs with Facebook, Google, and Exchange (although it took a little work to get it figured out at first, although I hear they will be working on that one). All of those sources just combine into one place so nicely it's almost like a dream. The few things that there are to complain about can be fixed with updates, so although it does have a few rough edges, I still think this is the most amazing phone I've used. iPhone people might be unhappy that their phone now has a serious contender, but just as the Pre took a lot of great ideas from the iPhone, I'm sure that iPhone will take a lot of great ideas from the Pre, so the Version 4 of iPhone will likely be a much bigger and better update than ever before as they try to compete with Synergy and the multitasking that the Pre offers. iPhone is built on a good OS, and I think they can probably do a lot more with it than they have, but they have been content to sit on their butt and only offer trivial upgrades to the iPhone for the last few years. Pre has topped them (IMO), and now iPhone will have to fight hard to come back on top. Basically it's good for everyone concerned. Competition is a good thing. iPhone sitting on it's butt is exactly what Palm did back in it's heyday that almost put it out of business. Apple brought it on themselves to be one-upped because they didn't keep their edge.

Well, a 9.9 suggests a nearly perfect phone (ideally anyway), so I'm hesitant to agree with their score (which doesn't jibe with their review) entirely. I think it deserves to be in the 9s but not so high. It's obvious from previous articles that Phone Arena just absolutely has fallen in love with the Pre so it's no surprise that they over-hyped themselves prior to the release and then while holding it in their hands. Remember when we all first over-studied that one exciting thing finding out every single thing we could about it and then when we got it, it was still so exciting? I think that is point and case here with Phone Arena. After a month or two, a new shiny toy that is going to revolutionize the world is going to come into view and they are going to drop their Pre like a hot rock. On top of that, their review sounded very similar to the Touch Pro 2s so I wonder why that is an entire point lower than the Pre... something to think about.
18. pathmarkpolice (Posts: 102; Member since: 05 Feb 2009)
I agree that the review seems as if it's over-hyping the phone, but when I tried out the phone, and then read a whole bunch of reviews (engadgets, gizmodo's, and now phonearena's) I am taking the "cons" of the device into consideration and I personally can't think of anything that really irks me as being a deal-breaker. The mobile OS palm has created is one of, if not the best (takes a steaming dump on the iphone's). THe only thing that bothers me is the lack of a micro sd card slot, but I'm sure other palm devices with the webOS will end up being amazing :-)
19. baldilocks (Posts: 1222; Member since: 14 Dec 2008)
Yea, the 9.9 seems like a VERY biased score. I am calling foul on this review.
41. nathandavid13 (Posts: 6; Member since: 22 Jul 2009)
i bet it was just a typing error. It's supposted to 8.9 and they are kinda close on the keyboard
20. ralph_denicia (Posts: 14; Member since: 30 Apr 2009)
I like how it get's a 10 for multimedia and local connectivity; yet it doesn't support WMV format and it doesn't support object/file transfer over bluetooth... I tried to transfer a customer's contacts from his old sanyo over bluetooth and the Pre was unable to receive them! Come on, even a crappy sanyo phone has better bluetooth handling!

Christmas is about to come early for one lucky family - today we are giving away TEN of the top toys on Santa's list, writes Graham Walker.
The total value comes to more than £400.
And by Christmas Eve we plan to hand deliver the lot direct to our winner's door, even beating Father Christmas to the job.
There are toys here for every child.
It's an amazing prize for children of your own, or young family and friends to make it their best Christmas ever.
Our sack full of toys will include a Zoomer Dino- Boomer (£99.99), Transformers T Rex (£89.99), Frozen Anna Doll (£16.99), My Friend Cayla (£58.99) and a Kidizoom Smart Watch (£39.99).
We also have Toot-Toot Animals Safari Park (£39.99), Bop It! Beats (£21.99), Little Live Pets Bird Cage (£19.99), Minecraft Figures, assorted, (£7.99) and Lego Minecraft Farm (£7.99).
They are the so-called Dream Toys - the most popular set to dominate sales this Christmas, as chosen by a panel of leading UK retailers and unveiled last month by the Toy Retailers Association at Meadowhall Shopping Centre.
The toys for our prize, kindly donated by the Association itself, are available from all good toy shops, including the Toys R Us branch now open at Meadowhall.
Darren Pearce, Meadowhall Centre Director said: "As a father of two I have to say it's a terrific list.
Each year the Toy Retailers Association predicts the bestselling toys for Christmas, and we are delighted that they are unveiled at Meadowhall.
"We are a key retail destination for shoppers in the region."
Gary Grant, Chair of the DreamToys committee, said: "Our list illustrates how diverse toys are, encouraging very different patterns of play. It's great to see creative and sharing toys sitting alongside more traditional toys or toys that facilitate a bit of rough and tumble.
"And with nearly half the list priced under £25, the DreamToys list is relevant for all consumers this Christmas."
Frederique Tutt, Toys Global Industry Analyst for The NPD Group added: "The British toy market is leading a resurgence in toy sales in Europe. The innovation that the industry has invested in has also started to pay back. Impulse sales of collectables and lower-priced toys are up as well as licenses from films including Frozen, and this year's craze; Loom Bands. These two factors combined delivered the fastest growth rate in toy sales since 2010in the first nine months of 2014 which suggests that Christmas 2014 might be the best for some time."

Two decades ago, 2,000 babies in the UK died each year suddenly and inexplicably while sleeping in their cots. Today these cases have been reduced by 80% thanks to the research and recommendations developed by Peter Fleming, Professor of Infant Health and Developmental Physiology at Bristol University, and his team. The research has prevented approximately 10,000 deaths in the UK and at least 100,000 worldwide as other countries have adopted the recommendations.
Initial research and life-saving recommendations
In the mid-1980s it was recognised that the number of babies dying from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS, commonly referred to as "cot death") had increased in many countries, but no one knew why. Professor Fleming and his team carried out a survey in the Avon area funded by the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID) to try to discover if there were any discernible risk factors relating to cot death. After analysing the data, he pinpointed three potential risk factors: babies sleeping face down; being covered in too many blankets; and being exposed to parental tobacco smoke. The results were published in full in 1990. Initially, researchers refused to believe that factors as simple as this could have such a profound effect and it wasn't until completing a follow-up study in 1991 that Fleming felt confident enough to approach the government's health advisers with his findings.
Following a successful trial in Avon from 1989, and with the backing of TV presenter Anne Diamond – who lost her own child through SIDS – the Government gave its official support to the study and launched the highly successful "Back to Sleep" campaign which instructed parents to place their baby on the back to sleep (and not on the front or side). Within a month, the number of cot deaths had fallen by between 30-40% and after two years by nearly 70% – the equivalent of saving 12 babies a week.
Over half of cot deaths occur whilst co-sleeping
Since then, ongoing research by Professor Fleming and others has led to further recommendations on how to reduce the number of losses due to this distressing syndrome. A four year study from January 2003 to December 2006, funded by FSID, found that more than half of sudden unexplained infant deaths occurred while the infant was sharing a bed or a sofa with a parent (co-sleeping), and that deaths may be related to parents who have been drinking alcohol, or taking drugs or medication which might make them sleepy. Guidelines developed from the research advise parents to never put themselves in a situation where they might fall asleep with a young infant on a sofa. Professor Fleming emphasised that, "The safest place for an infant to sleep is in a cot beside the parental bed in the first six months of life."
Advice should be followed both day and night
An earlier study led by University of Bristol, also funded by FSID, found that advice on how to reduce the risk of cot death needs to be heeded just as much for an infant's daytime naps as it is for their night-time sleep. The study also found it significant that 75% of the babies who died in the daytime were sleeping in a room without an adult present. Professor Fleming said: "I think what this shows is that we cannot ignore what has traditionally been done." Babies should always sleep in the same room as their parents or another adult during the day. "In the past and in other cultures it is unheard of to leave babies on their own, and it is something people in western countries should get back to."
Developing better approaches to investigation and care
Professor Fleming and his team have worked hard to ensure that they are involved in policy decisions relating to their research, and that includes not only preventing SIDS, but developing better approaches to the investigation and care of families after unexpected childhood deaths. Following a number of high profile miscarriages of justice where parents of babies dying through SIDS were jailed, the Kennedy Committee (of which Fleming was part) put forward recommendations to the Government that mirrored practices developed by Fleming and his team in Avon. The approach has now been implemented nationally as part of the Children Act 2004, and integrated into Department for Children, Schools and Families publications such as 'Working Together to Safeguard Children', and training DVDs like 'Why Jason Died'.
Recognition for excellence and continuing research
As a result of Professor Fleming's work, he has been named as one of the UK's pioneers of science in 'Eureka UK', a book celebrating 50 years of life-changing research, developments and interventions by academics at universities throughout the UK. The book lists the top 100 world-changing, most inspiring and dramatic breakthroughs in academic research. Professor Fleming said: "Thanks to continued research at the University of Bristol and collaborations with different research groups, the work we do has enabled us to have had a considerable impact in over 30 different countries."

Tigers win second straight
Pine Bluff native Torii Hunter was 1 for 4 with a run scored in Wednesday�s 6-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Max Scherzer notched his 13th victory of the season to lead the Tigers. Scherzer is now a win away from matching Roger Clemens� 14-0 start to the 1986 campaign as he gave up just two runs on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings.
Victor Martinez � who went 2 for 4 � singled home Hunter in the third inning.
Toronto�s Todd Redmond plunked Hunter with a pitch in the sixth inning, prompting both dugouts to empty and a visibly angry Hunter being held back while gesturing to Redmond, but it didn�t escalate any further. A warning was issued to both teams, though.
Wainwright claims NL Pitcher of the Month
NEW YORK � St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright was named the National League Pitcher of the Month for June.
Wainwright allowed just nine earned runs over six starts while posting a 1.77 earned run average and a 4-2 record for the month.
The Cards� ace opened the month with a complete game against the San Francisco Giants before capping June with a similar effort against the A�s, as the right-hander went the distance while striking out eight in a 7-1 victory at Oakland on June 29.
Rangers take a chance on Ramirez
ARLINGTON, Texas � If Manny Ramirez entertained any ideas of returning to the major leagues, the Texas Rangers are about to indulge them.
On Wednesday, the AL West club announced they agreed to terms on a minor league contract with the slugger and assigned him to Triple-A Round Rock.
The 41-year-old is expected to arrive in Texas on Thursday, then work out with the club for a few days before being officially activated.
Ramirez began the season with the EDA Rhinos of the Chinese Professional Baseball League, hitting a robust .352 with eight homers, 13 doubles and 43 RBI along with a .422 on-base percentage and .555 slugging percentage. His contract was terminated in mid-June.
A 12-time All-Star, the native of the Dominican Republic last suited up in the majors two years ago, when he batted just .059 with one RBI in five games for the Tampa Bay Rays before announcing his retirement to avoid a 100-game suspension for a second violation of MLB�s performance-enhancing drug policy.
Nonetheless, Ramirez compiled 555 home runs and 1,831 RBI over 2,302 games with the Indians, Red Sox, Dodgers, White Sox and Rays in a 19-year career.
Cavendish sprints to 24th career Tour stage win
Marseille, France - Mark Cavendish won the fifth stage of the 2013 Tour de France on Wednesday, a 228.5-kilometer ride from Cagnes-sur-Mer to Marseille.
Cavendish led a final dash to claim his 24th career Tour stage victory, beating out Edvald Boasson Hagen, Peter Sagan and Andre Greipel and crossing the finish line in a time of 5 hours, 31 minutes and 51 seconds.
A pileup with about 200 meters to go slowed much of the peloton, but the riders lost no time in the general classification. A total of 154 riders were credited with the same time as Cavendish, including Simon Gerrans, who retained the yellow jersey and his one-second overall lead ahead of Orica- GreenEdge teammates Daryl Impey and Michael Albasini.
Today�s sixth stage is a mostly flat 176.5-kilometer trek from Aix-en- Provence to Montpellier.

text: Hi guys. i registered BHW today as you can see but i'm not new to it at all(~ year of peeking on all your posts!). I come from a technical programming background so i've always build stuff for the fun and messed with stuff but it's only in these past months that a lightning bulb went off and i decided it's time to make a niche web service with a call to action button to see if i can make money online and not spend time only watching people try it out. Last friday my 61th user who gave my free trial a shot actually bought the full service which costs $29.99. I was blown by the underlining fact that all the stuff i've made before turned nothing because i didn't try to and this simple hack web service that took me a week tops to make already turned profit (after a google dance for three weeks) and it's on "auto-pilot" mode. I would love to hear from you people that passed this same path and made a sale for any suggestions as to what to do next? should i focus on this one product and try to bring it to a level where i make a sale per day or should i explore building other web service that could cash in in the same manner instead? Either way, i'm glad i finally registered to the forum. I'm sure i'll have good input for alot of things and would love discussing with like minded people!

Extra descriptionMinimum emissions into the environment. Maximum pleasure. F40 - F50 - F60.
Those who care about the environment, can now enjoy the pleasure of water travel without harming nature. Help comes from legendary Yamaha technology and the work of engineers that have created a "clean", from an environmental point of view, the four-stroke outboards in the class of medium power.
They have met the most demanding fans of speed and have improved the performance parameters of all types of boats ... from sports models to the RIB type boats, from high-speed models for fishing to the worker's boats.
And that is not all. Design and engineering groups of Yamaha company are continually developing new systems for the company's products to make them even more efficient, reliable, environmentally friendly, but not only faster!
That is why we are so proud of these four remarkable outboards. Firstly on the F50F and F60C models the ultra-efficient fuel injection system is electronically controlled, and on models F40B, F50D, F60A thre-jet carburetor system is used. Both systems provide high power output at high engine speed and high torque at medium speeds. In addition, the accelerating pump (for maximum power during acceleration) and two speed control system trim and engine tilt angle and PrimeStart start system without using the choke, provide outstanding performance and reliability of the motors, and thus make your boat trip even more enjoyable.
Like all models in 2007 with an electronically controlled fuel injection, F50F and F60C engines now have a port to connect to a new network of the Yamaha, complemented by a series of high-tech family of digital devices Digital Network Gauges.
Highest performance and cost-effectiveness of environmentally friendly engines has increased to a maximum level of satisfaction from its use as by the water sports amateur, as well as by the professional.
The main differences between the series:
* New models F50F and F60C, equipped with injection system with electronic control
* Ignition is controlled by a microprocessor
* Automatic PrimeStart start system without using the choke to warm up the engine
* Movement in shallow waters

On the brink of Open Compute Project Summit 2040 (OCP Summit V) starting tomorrow morning, Microsoft today announced the contribution of their cloud server designs to the Open Compute Project.
Interestingly enough, Bill Laing was scheduled to present a keynote tomorrow at the summit. This was surprising to me as Microsoft has been traditionally quiet about elaboration as to what kind of equipment they were using to power Azure. Now officially defined as the Microsoft Cloud Server Platform. This puts Microsoft in line with Facebook, to be the only cloud service providers to publicly release their server specifications.

text: The night before a group of out-of-town friends were about to depart, I suggested we go to Bambu for some sushi (everyone's favorite foodie splurge). We arrived and requested seating outside. Our waiter was attentive, and took our orders promptly, and we snacked on our edemame and waited...and waited...and waited...and waited...35 minutes later, our waiter returned to let us know our sushi was the next order up, and apologized for the wait. 5-10 minutes, we were told. So we waited...and waited...and waited...30 more minutes passed, my friends were tired, hungry, and cranky at this point, so we requested our food just be packed up to go rather than being plated, because we were already late to meet other friends back at the house. From walking in the door to when the checks/food finally arrived was a total of an hour and 20 minutes. Irritated, I requested to speak with a manager, not to be comped for anything, simply to express my frustration over being a weekly take-out patron for the past 6 months, and then to have had an experience like we did. He came over, and seemed satisfied giving us a half apologetic excuse, and walking off. Never again will I suggest Bambu to anyone getting anything other than takeout.
