Doctor Who TARDIS 4 Port USB Hub
Throughout infinite time and space, you can always use more USB ports
- Collectible item from the Doctor Who TV series
- 4-port USB hub shaped like the Doctor's TARDIS
- Makes time-traveling sound effects
I seek audience with the ThinkGeek Consciousness under peaceful contract, according to Convention Fifteen of the Shadow Proclamation. This is the vehicle of the Time Lord. TARDIS, or Time And Relative Dimension In Space has its chameleon circuit broken, so it's stuck looking like an old British Police box from Earth year zero-point-five-slash-apple-slash-five-zero, or 1950 by local reckoning. That, and it's become a 4 port USB hub a mere 11 centimeters tall.
This little blue box, really an immense multi-dimensional starship capable of ludicrous speeds, sits benignly on your desk, acting as a mere conduit of digital information for your computer. 480 megabits per second of data are shared amongst its four USB 2.0 ports along the base. Press the panel on the face, and the blue-glowing light pulsates and the Tardis' engine fires up. Don't worry, while the engine grinds away, we've time-locked the Tardis so it stays put - we don't want any accidental paradoxes, thank you.
It's not every day you can have your own piece of the Untempered Schism right there on your desktop, so be careful how you use it. The Bad Wolf is watching.
- The official Doctor Who TARDIS Hub.
- A 4 port USB hub replicating the 1950s Police phonebox TARDIS from the show.
- A flashing lantern on the TARDIS' roof.
- A time-travelling sound effect.
- The light and sound effects are triggered when a USB device is plugged into the port.
- Sound effects are optional and are controlled via an on/off switch.
- No software required.
- Suitable for both PCs and Mac.
- Suitable for ages 8 years+.
- TARDIS: 11 x 6 x 6cm
- USB Cable: 140cm.

South Dakota State opened The Summit League season on Saturday against league newcomer Omaha with a well-balanced 78-63 win in front of 3,021 fans at Frost Arena, which saw four Jackrabbits score at least 13 points.
The Jackrabbits dominated the first half, leading by as many as 30 points before taking a 56-28 lead into the locker room.
Omaha came out hot in the second half, and cut the lead to as few as 13 points, but the Jacks didn't let them get any closer.
"I though we played a great first half, we caused a lot of turnovers and didn't give them easy shot, and because we were active defensively, we were good offensively," head coach Scott Nagy said. "Then it was followed by a half that just wasn't very good. Our players didn't feel good about that walking off the floor because of the second half and the way we played."
The Jackrabbits 21st consecutive home win gives them a 6-2 overall record on the season and a 1-0 mark in league play. The visiting Mavericks fall to 2-7 overall and to 0-2 in the league.
The Jackrabbits shot 56 percent in the first half on 23-of-41 shooting, but went cold in the second half, shooting just 34.6 percent on 9-of-26 shooting, including a 2-for-11 effort from long range.
Omaha shot 48 percent in both halves, going 13-for-27 in the first half and 12-for-25 in the second half.
Jordan Dykstra led all players with 17 points, including a 3-for-4 night from 3-point range. Tony Fiegen tied a career-high with 16 points on 8-of-9 shooting and added a game-high nine rebounds, while Nate Wolters and Brayden Carlson both contributed 13 points in the win. Wolters added five assists and grabbed four rebounds, while Carlson finished with five rebounds.
John Karhoff led the Mavericks with 16 points, with Justin Simmons and CJ Carter both adding 10 points in a losing cause.
The Jackrabbits return to action on Tuesday, when they travel to Minnesota to take on the Golden Gophers in Minneapolis at 7 p.m.
NOTES: The Jackrabbits improve to 47-31 all-time against Omaha ... the Jacks 21-game home winning streak ranks third in the country among Division I basketball teams after Kentucky fell to Baylor on Saturday, trailing only Syracuse and Kansas with 25 consecutive home wins ... Wolters scored in double figures for the 47th straight game and for the 90th time in his career ... Wolters needs six more points to become just the fourth person in SDSU history to score at least 1,800 points in his career, and just 22 points to pass Austin Hansen for third on the all-time scoring list at SDSU ... Jake Bittle scored a career-high eight points in the game before fouling out with 3:59 left in the game ... Fiegen also scored 16 points in the 2011-12 season-opening win vs. Western Michigan on Nov. 12, 2011 ... Joey Feilmeier made his collegiate debut in the game, going 0-for-1 from the floor with one foul in two minutes ... Cory Jacobsen played in his first-ever game at Frost Arena, and went 0-for-1 in three minutes played ...Tweet

A winner was selected from 381 designs submitted by 78 freelance designers.
Fusion Medical Spa
We are a small company opening an upscale medical spa in a picturesque mountain town in the beautiful desert southwest. This is the first of three phases of the business which will eventually include a medical spa, an Ob/Gyn office and a free-standing surgical center. This will be the first leg of a triad which will ultimately become Fusion Wellness. Our interior design will be upscale, western and rustic.
Our target audience includes both local clientele and tourists visiting the area. There is no other medical spa in the area and this is largely an untapped market. This is a retirement community but contains a large number of second homes for the baby boomer and middle aged generation.
We would like a logo that conveys our commitment to patient satisfaction and an aesthetically pleasing environment. We would like a logo that could later be expanded on to develop the other legs of our business while maintaining the connection with the original quality and brand of Fusion Medical Spa. The logo should be clean and usable for a variety of mediums including signage, printed materials and product labeling.
The attached files convey the internal design aesthetic of the spa that will suit our location, customer and community. We would like a logo that will reflect this aesthetic.

24 Hours from Global Economic & Political Collapse
February 11, 2009 by Gordon
Filed under Features & Editorials
There has been much debate recently about whether bankers deserved their huge bonus pay-outs this year or indeed the high salaries given to them in general after their starring role the current international recession. Now I think the answer is pretty self evident and that's not what I'm hear to discuss at this point. If you want to vent your frustrations at that then here's a petition where you can be pro-active in doing that.
No, what needs to be pointed out above all during these endless talks of interest rates, job cuts and businesses going into administration is just how close the planet was from complete economic and political collapse: 3 hours in the US, 24 hours globally. This may sound melodramatic but it's not, it's a spine chilling fact according to previously undisclosed insight from elected Democratic politician Paul E. Kanjorski.
The full video is below, but here's the shocking core of it – which kicks off 2 minutes 21 seconds in:
"On Thursday [18 September], at 11am the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the United States, to the tune of $550 billion was being drawn out in the matter of an hour or two. The Treasury opened up its window to help and pumped a $105 billion in the system and quickly realized that they could not stem the tide. We were having an electronic run on the banks. They decided to close the operation, close down the money accounts and announce a guarantee of $250,000 per account so there wouldn't be further panic out there…
If they had not done that, their estimation is that by 2pm that afternoon, $5.5 trillion would have been drawn out of the money market system of the United States, would have collapsed the entire economy of the United States and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed… It would have been the end of our economic system and our political system as we know it."
Now knowledge of this doesn't solve anything. It doesn't make the banks any less culpable or the political leaders who ignored their negligent high risk practices any less responsible. If anything it makes it worse. It does do one thing however and that's the next time you're feeling down about the latest national or international turmoil just remember: it could've been one heck of a lot worse…
Great kudos to Zero Hedge for this brilliant – and important – spot.

MPVs 1-8
* All categories covered * Over 15,000 owners surveyed * See how your car rates, here...
Our MPV of the Year went straight to the top of the tree in this category, with owners loving its great mixture of low running costs and distinctive, stylish looks.
1: Citron Grand C4 Picasso
Vehicle owner satisfaction score: 80.2%
Overall ranking: 27th
Our three-time MPV of the Year goes straight in at number one, proving owners love the Grand C4 Picasso just as much as we do.
Owners gave top marks for interior and exterior appeal. They loved the looks, superb visibility, and the air-conditioning and stereo/navigation systems. They were also happier with ownership costs (fuel, insurance, and servicing and repair bills).
However, if it weren't for average dealer service and iffy reliability, the Picasso would have finished higher than 27th out of 100 overall. Apart from troublesome seats, few drivers had interior issues the audio and navigation system were particularly trouble-free. However, owners were much more damning about exterior gripes. Mechanical woes were also noted (although not with the engine or gearbox).
2=: Citron Xsara Picasso
Vehicle owner satisfaction score: 79.3%
Overall ranking: 41st=
A one-two for Citron in the MPV class, and a much better result than last year for the Xsara, whose seven-year production run will end soon. Owners didn't wax lyrical about the five-seat MPV, but consistently rated it average or above average in every single area.
All ownership costs were praised, and mechanical problems were few and far between. Dealer service was rated highly, and owners were impressed with the engine and gearbox although a little less so with the driving dynamics.
2=: Seat Altea/XL/Freetrack
Vehicle owner satisfaction score: 79.3%
Overall ranking: 41st=
Like last year, interior problems marred an otherwise fine performance for Seat's smallest MPV. Mechanical issues were rare, and owners were largely impressed with the Altea's on-road performance, including its engine, gearbox and driving characteristics.
Drivers found the Altea affordable to run, and liked its sexy styling. Interior appeal and comfortable seats helped make up for the few exterior problems, and average interior storage and space.
4=: Citron C4 Picasso
Vehicle owner satisfaction score: 79.0%
Overall ranking: 51st=
Yet another Citron in as a new entry at number four. This is the five-seat version of this year's class winner, the seven-seat Grand C4 Picasso. It finished lower down the list because owners were less impressed with the car's interior storage and space, and complained about interior problems particularly with the audio, navigation and air-conditioning systems.
On the positive side, drivers reported few problems with the engine and gearbox, and all aspects of dealer service were rated above average or excellent.
4=: Toyota Corolla Verso
Vehicle owner satisfaction score: 79.0%
Overall ranking: 51st=
A sturdy interior and excellent dealer service meant the Verso finished fifth a couple of places down on last year. Most other areas were rated as average, including engine and gearbox performance, and driving dynamics although there were a few above-average marks, for items such as the air-conditioning system and seats.
Insurance was the most unpopular running cost, although this still scored average marks. The only real let-down was the Verso's frumpy looks.
6: Volkswagen Golf Plus
Vehicle owner satisfaction score: 77.8%
Overall ranking: 62nd=
The Golf Plus won top marks for mechanical reliability and, according to owners, it was almost as dependable in other areas so how come it finished in such a lowly position?
Well, high insurance costs took the gloss off things, and the appeal of both the interior and the exterior also came under fire. The big gripes, though, were interior storage and space, and the audio/navigation system. Dealer service and vehicle performance were both rated as average.
Overall, it's a disappointing result, considering last year's 13th place overall.
7: Mercedes-Benz B-Class
Vehicle owner satisfaction score: 76.8%
Overall ranking: 70th=
Poor mechanical reliability as well as high servicing and repair costs spoiled an otherwise fair result for the B-Class. Owners rated their cars as above average for exterior looks and visibility, and heaped even more praise on the reliability of the air-con system, and dealer service facilities.
However, average marks for vehicle performance, interior storage and space, fuel economy and insurance sealed Merc's worst result in this year's survey.
8: Renault Grand Scenic
Vehicle owner satisfaction score: 76.6%
Overall ranking: 76th=
This was Renault's best result in this year's survey, but still left it languishing in the bottom quarter overall. There were no real shockers, with only interior problems (particularly the seats) and exterior electrical issues letting the seven-seat Scnic down.
That said, owners weren't raving about anything, either. Most areas were rated as average, although owners did like the interior mainly for its good storage and space, and fine stereo and low insurance costs. Visibility scored well, too.

this is how you can enable IPv6 trough tunnelbroker.com service:
1. Sign up at tunnelbroker.com, apply for a tunnel
2. Prerequisites:
opkg install ip ip6tables kmod-sit kmod-iptunnel6 radvd
3. Create a file /etc/hotplug.d/iface/15-ipv6 with the following contents:
. /etc/functions.sh
[ "$ACTION" = "ifup" -a "$INTERFACE" = "wan" -a "$DEVICE" = "ppp0" ] && {
[ -x $COMMAND ] && {
# setup tunnel
logger "HE-IPv6: starting tunnel..."
IPADDR=$(ip -4 addr show dev $DEVICE | awk '/inet / {print $2}' | cut -d/ -f1)
username="abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890" # your USERID as shown at your account details
password="abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890" # MD5 of your password
tunnelid="69999" # global tunnel-ID
# update tunnel to use dynamic ipv4
wget -q -O /dev/null "http://ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/ipv4_end.php?ipv4b=$IPADDR&pass=$password&user_id=$username&tunnel_id=$tunnelid"
SERVER_IPv4_ENDPOINT=188.8.131.52 # change this IP, this is the Frankfurt POP
CLIENT_IPv6_ENDPOINT=2001:470:1f0a:9999::2/64 # change this, too
# setup tunnel
ip tunnel add he-ipv6 mode sit remote $SERVER_IPv4_ENDPOINT local $IPADDR ttl 255
ip link set he-ipv6 up
ip addr add $CLIENT_IPv6_ENDPOINT dev he-ipv6
ip route add ::/0 dev he-ipv6
# You got a routed /64
# Please assign an IP out of this /64 to the bridge manually, f. ex. by calling:
# uci set network.lan.ip6addr=2001:470:1f0b:9999::1/64; uci commit
# Since the IP is saved, you only need to run that command once.
# ... and don't forget your firewall... :-)
# done
} &
[ "$ACTION" = "ifdown" -a "$INTERFACE" = "wan" -a "$DEVICE" = "ppp0" ] && {
[ -x $COMMAND ] && {
# destroy tunnel
logger "HE-IPv6: destroying tunnel..."
ip route del ::/0 dev he-ipv6
ip tunnel del he-ipv6
# done
} &
If you are not using ppp0 for getting your WAN connection, you might want to change the ppp0 to reflect your settings.
4. Add a new rule to your firewall to ACCEPT protocol 41 from wan to the device. Use luci or do it on the cli like this:
uci add firewall rule
uci set firewall.@rule[-1].src=wan
uci set firewall.@rule[-1].target=ACCEPT
uci set firewall.@rule[-1]._name=HE-IP6
uci set firewall.@rule[-1].proto=41
uci commit firewall
This allows the IPv6 tunnel to pass your IPv4 firewall.
Important notice: Your IPv6 lan is not protected by the openwrt built-in standard firewall! You should do ip6tables firewalling manually or use shorewall6. But this is not covered in this howto.
5. configure radvd to advertise your IPv6 network on lan:
edit /etc/config/radvd
config interface
option interface 'lan'
option AdvSendAdvert 1
option AdvManagedFlag 0
option AdvOtherConfigFlag 0
option ignore 0
config prefix
option interface 'lan'
# If not specified, a non-link-local prefix of the interface is used
option prefix '2001:470:1f0b:9999::/64'
option AdvOnLink 1
option AdvAutonomous 1
option AdvRouterAddr 0
option ignore 0
config rdnss
option interface 'lan'
# If not specified, the link-local address of the interface is used
option addr '2001:470:1f0b:9999::/64'
option ignore 1
Please change the :9999: to reflect your routed /64.
Afterwards, run this:
/etc/init.d/radvd enable
/etc/init.d/radvd start
6. That's it, test it:
The IPv6-Tunnel is automatically brought up and down with your wan connection. So get your wan reconnected now (or just reboot the router) and do a test:
ping6 ipv6.google.com
Test from the router first. If that's working, test from clients within your lan.
The /etc/hotplug.d/iface/15-ipv6 script could also be torn apart and be used from /etc/ppp/ip-[up|down].d/, which also works with little modifiations. I chose to use the hotplug style, because then it is only in one file instead of two.
And the configuration (username, password, tunnelid, ...) could also be migrated to use uci.
If you are having trouble, please double check the IPv6-Adresses! The client IPv6 endpoint and your routed /64 differ: 2001:470:1f0a:9999::/64 versus 2001:470:1f0b:9999::/64
Happy IPv6-ing,

Parashuram Jayanti is also observed on Akshaya Tritiya day. There are numerous legends associated with Akshaya Tritiya; most popular is that of Sudama or Kuchela visiting Lord Krishna in Dwarka with a handful of beaten rice (poha or aval).
Another legend suggests that the Pandavas received the Akshaya Pathram (bowl) from Lord Krishna (in the Mahabharata) on this day.

Lord Vishnu and his incarnations are worshipped on the day. People also conduct Lakshmi puja on Akshaya Tritiya.
But nowadays, Akshaya Trithiya is associated with gold purchase and many people wait for the day to make investments in gold.

Watch out for online dating site scams The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has been investigating online scammers who use dating sites and romance services as a feeding ground. In 2013 alone, Australians lost $25.3 million to these shysters. The Report dishonest men on dating sites that they've received 2770 complaints, with more than 400 people saying they'd lost in excess of $10,000. In fact, 64 people reported losing more than $100,000. And shockingly, 43% of people who came into contact with dating and romance scams lost money – one of the highest conversion rates of scams reported to the ACCC. Popular scams include convincing users to part with their personal details or money, which is often sent overseas and is unrecoverable. "Scammers go to great lengths to gain your trust, spending months and even years building a relationship with you. Once your defences are lowered, they spin an elaborate tale about how they need your financial help with a crisis, such as being ill or stranded, and ask for money," says ACCC Deputy Chair Delia Rickard. "These scams can also pose a risk to your personal safety, as scammers are often part of international criminal networks. Scammers have lured unwitting Australian victims overseas, putting people in dangerous situations that can have tragic consequences." Is online dating safe? Internet dating can be a great way to meet new people – and possibly find 'the one' – but it's important to keep your wits about you and protect your own privacy and safety, first and foremost. Top 4 signs you're dealing with a scammer on an online dating site You've never met or seen them: scammers will say anything to avoid a face-to-face meeting. They're not who they appear to be: scammers steal photos and profiles from real people to create an appealing facade. Run a Speed dating for seniors in michigan on photos, and search words in their description to check if they're the real deal. You don't know a lot about them: scammers are keen to get to know you as much as possible, but are less forthcoming about themselves They ask you for money: once the connection's been made – be it as a friend, admirer or business partner – scammers will ask you to transfer money. Don't fall for a tall tale, no matter how plausible it sounds. How to stay safe on online dating sites Before you sign up for an online dating service, consider the following: Read terms and conditions so you know what you're signing up to and how much it will cost. Check your options for cancelling the contract. Set reminders in your phone or diary to cancel your subscription to avoid inadvertently rolling over for a further term. Research the business: conduct an internet search on the name of the company and verify any contact details. Create a separate email address for online dating. Never include personal information such as your real name, workplace, work or home address, phone number or birthday, in your profile. Do a reverse Google image search on photos of profiles to check for authenticity. When you meet somebody for the first time, pick a public place, tell a friend where you're going and keep the first meeting brief and inexpensive, such as grabbing a cup of coffee. Don't let somebody new pick you up or drop you at your home. Never send money to someone you've only ever contacted online or over the phone. Which online dating site is for me?

Most members are aged in their 20s and 30s, but it also caters to a large number of older users; about 51% men and 49% women. How much does eHarmony cost? eHarmony has three types of memberships: free, Basic and Total Connect. The prices below don't include special offers. Free – Users receive a personal profile, view daily matches and have limited interaction with their matches, like sending a smile or a limited number of set questions. Basic – $13.95 a month for a 24-month membership, $19.95 for 12 months, $44.95 for six months, or $64.95 for a one-month subscription. Members can request and view photos of matches, see who has viewed their profile and when their matches last logged in, and communicate with confirmed matches. Total Connect – $17.95 a month for 24 months, $19.95 a month for 12 months, $45.95 a month for six months, or $64.95 for a one-month subscription. Members get all the basic plan features and are able to phone their matches without revealing their phone number via a service called Secure Call. They also get a deeper personality analysis. How eHarmony matches users eHarmony's selling point is its tailored approach to finding love online. New users fill out a detailed questionnaire in which they rate their own appearance and personality as well as nominate important features in a relationship and partner. The answers form their personality profile, which is then used to find matches using the so-called "29 dimensions of compatibility". Privacy By posting information and photos on a profile page or any public area of the eHarmony website, users automatically agree to have that information perpetually owned and used by eHarmony for purposes such as advertising. Users' contact details may be shared with third parties for advertising, but opting out is possible by changing certain settings or notifying eHarmony of your request in writing. Pricing issues eHarmony doesn't disclose the price of its plans until after you've filled out their onerous survey, by which point you may have invested hours. Furthermore, the company offers 24-month memberships, which could appeal to bargain-hunting users but lock users in for an extended period of time. The question to ask is: if I'm still using the site 24 months later, has it been worth the (not insignificant) fees charged?

It's got a younger slant with 64% of users aged between 18 and 35, while 27% are aged between 36 and 50; roughly 60% of members are male and 40% female. How much does Oasis Active cost? Oasis Active is free to use. How Oasis Active matches users Signed-up users describe their personality, interests and hobbies and select criteria for their ideal partner. They can then search for suitable matches. A spokesperson says all profiles and pictures are manually checked to ensure information provided is accurate. Privacy By signing up, users agree that all profile information – including photos – is public, and so automatically grant an irrevocable and ongoing licence for the company to use and distribute any information posted or transmitted on the site. In effect, this means users' photos, aliases and other personal details can be used in advertising, online and off, although it's possible to opt out of this by updating privacy options in the account settings portal on the website. Email addresses, photos and information may also be shared with third parties for marketing purposes on behalf of Oasis Active. Swedish free online dating sites canadaOkCupid Australian members Figures not available. How much does OkCupid cost? OkCupid has free and paid A-list memberships. Free – Free users can look at profiles and photos and contact other members. A-list – $5.31 per month for six months, $8.52 per month for three months, $10.67 per month paid by the month. A-list members can access the site ad-free, change their user name, get additional match search options and photo album options, filter out messages by length, specific words or attractiveness, get message read receipts, see the full list of people who like them, and have more space and options in their messaging inbox as well as better anonymity settings. How OkCupid matches users OkCupid claims to use a math-based matching system to help users find partners. After completing a basic profile, users can elect to fill out hundreds of optional broad-reaching questions – like if they'd date a messy person, whether they like dogs, or even how often they brush their teeth. Potential matches are then rated based on a percentage for being a match, a friend or an enemy. Users can then flick through quick matches or browse all potential matches based on search criteria including gender, age and distance. Privacy OkCupid may use contact information for advertising purposes and compiling its OkTrends blog, which tracks and charts user behaviour. They may also share this information with third parties. OkCupid allows information posted on its site to appear in search engine results. Voted best online dating site 2015 ukPlenty of Fish (PoF) Australian members Information could not be provided. Who uses Plenty of Fish? The site skews slightly towards more male users, with the average age of users being 32. How much does Plenty of Fish cost? Plenty of Fish has free and paid memberships. Free: A free membership allows users to post up to eight photos, communicate, view others' photos, and use most features of the site. Paid: You can upgrade your membership for additional features such as the ability to upload up to 16 images, unlock any user's extended profile, see if your emails were read or deleted, find out when someone viewed your profile, go ad-free, and appear first in search results. You can upgrade for $10.18 per month on an eight month plan, $12.75 a month on a four month plan, and $19.35 per month on a two month plan. Bear in mind that unless you specifically opt out, subscriptions automatically renew. How Plenty of Fish matches users Upon signing up with PoF, you fill out a profile listing your preferences for a potential significant other, and can choose to fill out a so-called "Relationship Chemistry Predictor". PoF then sends you a report based on your survey responses, and uses the data to match you to others on the site. Privacy PoF says it may share your personal information with affiliates and third parties acting on their behalf in the "normal course of business", though they do say they won't sell it to others. Who dating angelina jolie first husbandTinder Australian members Specific stats aren't given about the number of Australian users, but Australia is Tinder's third largest market, after the US and UK. Who's on it? Tinder has a 55% male to 45% female user base. It skews younger, with 50% of users aged 18-24, 34% aged 25-34, and 8% aged 35-44. How much does Tinder cost? Tinder is entirely free, without any premium paid memberships. How Tinder matches users Tinder is an app-based online dating service designed for use on your phone or tablet device. To use the app, you must sign up with your Facebook account, which then forms the basis of your Tinder profile. According to Tinder, this is to ensure matches are made with real people who share interests and common friends. That being said, Tinder doesn't post to your Facebook profile, so if you're concerned about friends getting updates about your use of the site, at least on this point, you can rest easy. Here's how it works: You pick the gender or genders you're interested in, what age range you're looking for, and how close in distance you'd like a potential match to be. Tinder then uses the GPS on your mobile phone to search for nearby users of the app. Once the app locates users nearby, it shows you their first name, age and a profile picture. You swipe right if you'd like to be matched with them, left if you're not interested. If both parties swipe right, you're a match, meaning you can start interacting with them. According to a spokesperson, Tinder is designed to provide more than a dating service: "The purpose of Tinder is social discovery. All we are doing is facilitating an introduction between two people who are interested in getting to know each other better. Our users are leveraging Tinder to form relationships in the context of friendship, dating, getting recommendations from locals while traveling and even business networking." Privacy Privacy is a significant concern when it comes to Tinder, as users sign up with their Facebook profile, meaning the company has access to a large amount of personal information, including your email address, likes, birthday, education history, interests, current city, personal description, your friends list, and photos of you and your Facebook friends who might be common with other users. Tinder also gives itself access to the content of your chats when you're using the app, and uses this information to market itself and third party products or services. You can't delete your Tinder account, only the app. This means your virtual Tinder footprint could exist in perpetuity. Who is justin bieber dating right now july 2015Zoosk Australian members Zoosk has approximately 13.5 million members outside of the US, though a spokesperson couldn't tell CHOICE how many were Australian. Who's on it? With a roughly 50/50 split between men and women, members are typically aged in their late 20s and early 30s. How much does Zoosk cost? Zoosk offers free and paid memberships, and a pay-as-you-go system using "Zoosk Coins". Free: Free members can create a profile, search for singles, and send introductory winks and messages. Paid: Memberships cost $12.49 per month on a six month membership, $19.98 per month on a three month membership or $29.95 a month paid monthly. Memberships auto-renew unless you cancel your membership before it expires. With a paid membership, you can send and receive messages and winks, chat with connections, see profiles of those who have viewed yours, and get full access to Smartpick, Zoosk's matching services. Zoosk Coins: You can also earn or buy Zoosk "Coins", which unlock your matches, allow you to send virtual gifts, boost your profile, and allow you to get delivery confirmations on emails, among other features. Coins cost $19.95 for 180, up to $99.95 for 1800 coins. Coins can be earned by using or signing up to various third party apps, surveys, services and websites. How Zoosk matches users To sign up to Zoosk you fill out a profile, which you can do by signing up with Facebook, and then can choose to fill out an extensive compatibility survey. You can meet singles using three methods: by searching for them, using the "Carousel" (which works similarly to Tinder) or using SmartPick (which evaluates compatibility between Zoosk members and makes match recommendations). Zoosk claims to learn from your actions as you use the site, therefore making more suitable matches as you use the site more. Zoosk offers a photo verification service for those who access the service using their iPhone or iPad app. It allows users to verify that their photo is an accurate representation of their looks by taking a short film visible to Zoosk moderators. If the moderators agree that you look like your photo, you get a verified logo on your profile picture. Privacy If you sign up to Zoosk and give the site access to one of your social media profiles, such as Twitter or Facebook, they may make posts on your behalf on that platform. Think twice about giving Zoosk access to your address book – they keep your contacts on file and may later use your information to suggest friends and connections to other members. By signing up to Zoosk, you grant permission for all your user content to be used for purposes including advertising or transmission to a third party. Online dating case studies We asked a range of people about their experiences with online dating. The good User/s: Belinda and David Site: RSVP Verdict: Recommended. "We've introduced many friends to RSVP." Sites used: RSVP (on which they met), Who is kathy griffin dating randy, several others Length dating online? Belinda – 18 months, David – six months Success? They married How many people did they date before they met the right person? Belinda – "hundreds", David – "a few girls" Belinda, a 31-year-old jazz singer and David, a 32-year-old police officer had used several online dating sites when they met on RSVP. Two years later, they're married and expecting their first child. "I felt online dating was the safest way to date because I was in control," says Belinda. "Even when I met a couple of scary guys, it was in a neutral place and they just had my mobile number. I had dates with doctors, lawyers, a millionaire, but I had no feelings for them apart from friendship. I knew the moment I saw David: 'This is the one'. I'd never had that before." David agrees: "I chose online dating for the variety of people I could meet. I was looking for a partner and I looked for that in other people's profiles." The bad User/s: Roxanne* Site: RSVP Verdict: "I wouldn't dissuade people from it but I wouldn't recommend it either. It can be the lazy person's way to date." Sites used: RSVP Length dating online? Four months Success? A few brief relationships Why did she stop? Wasn't meeting people interested in working on relationships How many dates before stopping online dating? "A few." Roxanne, a 40-year-old production manager, began dating online as a way to meet a wider variety of people, rather than just those working in her industry. She has now given up on online dating. "It's a bit too easy, so if they're going out with someone and it's not particularly working they can just go back online and start looking again. If you're permanently on the site you can get out of the practice of flirting with people just normally." The neutral User/s: Michael* Site: RSVP and Lavalife Verdict: "Online dating is worth a try, but it depends on your personality and whether you're willing to put in effort." Sites used: RSVP and Lavalife Length dating online? Two years Success? Made a good friend and had one relationship How many dates before stopping online dating? About 12 women, before meeting his girlfriend at work Michael, a 31-year-old customer service manager, began dating online as a way of meeting people when he moved to a new city. "Having too much emotional investment and hope can be rather futile," he says. "I also found men have to be proactive and send the kisses and the emails – I was on a site for a year before I received a response from a woman that wasn't solicited by me." * Not their real name

Car Review
2009 Scion xB: Used Car Review
The 2009 Scion xB is a small, no-frills economy wagon big on interior room and fuel efficiency. Compared to the original xB, the 2009 model is a little larger and rounder, and a lot more powerful. As compact cars go, the xB is accommodating, especially to taller passengers riding in the rear seat. Fold the rear seat down and the xB transforms into a mini U-Haul. With nearly 70 cu ft of cargo space and a tall ceiling, the xB can swallow items that won't fit into the average compact car. Cool interior features such as a Pioneer stereo with iPod interface and dealer-installed interior lighting upgrades help the xB curry favor with a younger crowd.
Another plus for the xB is that it holds its value well, though we can't say it has the same bulletproof reliability and repair history of early Scion vehicles. Common complaints registered with owner satisfaction surveys include excessive oil consumption (Scion issued a Technical Service Bulletin regarding this problem), engine cooling problems and premature brake wear. Although most xB owners have not experienced problems, there are enough instances to warrant mention.
What We Like
Good fuel economy; a roomy back seat; big cargo area; smooth ride; customizable interior lighting options; strong resale value
What We Don't
Watered-down styling; drab interior; noisy at highway speed; not much in the way of passing power; awkward center-mounted instrument cluster
Fuel Economy & Engine Specs
The Scion xB is powered by a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 158 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy with the 5-speed manual is rated at 22 miles per gallon city/28 mpg hwy. The 4-speed automatic transmission returns the same 22 mpg city/28 mpg hwy figure.
Standard Features & Options
The xB comes in one nicely equipped trim level.
Standard equipment on the xB includes power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, air conditioning, cruise control, Pioneer AM/FM stereo with six speakers, single CD player and iPod interface, tilt steering wheel, plastic wheel covers, chrome exhaust tips, remote keyless entry, six airbags, electronic traction and stability control and a tire-pressure monitoring system.
Options for the xB include touchscreen navigation, rear-seat DVD entertainment system, powered rear subwoofer, 17-inch alloy wheels, satellite radio, fog lights, a rear spoiler, upgraded audio interface and customizable in-car color lighting for the footwells, cupholders and door sills.
Don't look for much in the way of bargain basement pricing, as the 2009 xB holds excellent resale values. However, the xB started well under $20,000 when new, so a low-mileage used model should still fit into most used-car budgets. To get an idea of the xB's price range, we suggest the used-car values at KBB.com. You also can search the AutoTrader Classifieds to see which models are for sale in your area.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued the following recalls for the 2009 Scion xB:
- A possible master power window switch that could overheat and catch fire
- Improper load-carrying capacity labels
- In the optional sport grille, a possible defect could result in the hood opening while the vehicle is moving
Recall repairs are required by law even if the vehicle is out of warranty. Your dealer can check to see if the repairs were performed and, if not, will fix the car at no charge to you.
Safety Ratings & Warranties
The xB earns good marks in NHTSA's crash tests, posting four out of five stars in the front-end crash test, five stars in the side-impact test and four stars for rollover roof-strength test. The independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awards the xB its best marks in the moderate overlap, side-impact and roof-strength tests.
The Scion xB has a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Extended warranties purchased when the car was new are transferable, so be sure to inquire if the vehicle you are buying has an extended plan. Scion also offers a line of certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles through its dealerships. If you purchase a CPO xB, the warranty coverage for the powertrain is extended to seven years/100,000 miles from the vehicle's original in-service date. CPO cars also come with a 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive warranty, one year of roadside assistance and a free CARFAX report. Best of all, CPO customers are eligible for standard new-car financing rates. Vehicles that qualify for the CPO program cannot be older than six years or have more than 85,000 miles on the odometer.
Other Cars to Consider
Honda Element -- The Element costs more and is less fuel efficient than the xB, but it offers a bigger interior and the option of all-wheel drive.
Chrysler PT Cruiser -- The PT Cruiser's resale value is far below the xB, as are its repair and reliability ratings. But the PT's unique styling and versatile cargo area rival that of the xB.
Nissan Cube -- The Cube's styling is more distinctive than the xB, and its interior is more youth oriented. The Cube also gets better fuel economy but has less horsepower.
AutoTrader's Advice
With only one model to choose from, we suggest an xB with all the bells and whistles. Keep in mind that many of the xB's options are dealer-installed, so if you can't find what you want on the used-car lot, you can always upgrade later. Those seeking the best performance should opt for the 5-speed manual model, while those seeking the best fuel economy can go with either transmission, as the mileage numbers are identical.

During the Black Friday chaos, one woman at a Walmart in Porter Ranch, San Fernando Valley pepper-sprayed shoppers during a scene of commercial chaos that broke out over video games.
As previously posted, the Walmart was a mess, as the video game section was "torn down", and several of the 100 people "waiting in line to snag Xbox gaming consoles and Wii video games got into a shoving match".
It was during this chaos that the woman blasted other shoppers with pepper spray. No wonder one shopper said that the "shoving and bombarding" near the game display set off the pepper spray.
The woman, who pepper-sprayed over a dozen shoppers, has not been charged with any crime.
"What am I going to charge her with?" Los Angeles police Detective Michael Fesperman asked the Los Angeles Daily News.
"There was a stampede at Walmart from people getting Xbox games for half off," he said. "There was no control. People were getting stampeded and trampled. There were people screaming, yelling that they were being trampled or crushed.
"This woman may have fired her pepper spray in self-defense." According to the police, it was "in her rights" for the woman to carry the pepper spray.
Each of the sprayed shoppers were treated in-store before being sent home.
Walmart pepper-spraying may have been self-defense, police say [Mercury News]

Lake Andes Company REAPs USDA Energy Grant
(NPN) Pioneer Energy, LLC of Lake Andes, S.D. has been awarded a $25,000 grant from the USDA for a feasibility study to build a 99 megawatt wind farm.
Founded in 2009, Pioneer Energy is developing the Lake Andes Wind Facility near Lake Andes, South Dakota.
According to its website, Pioneer Energy's proposed site anticipates using 33-36 large turbines. It is located approximately 2 miles northwest of the Fort Randall Dam.
The company was the only South Dakota grant recipient among awardees for projects in 22 states that will help agricultural producers and rural small businesses reduce their energy consumption and costs. As to the region, the USDA also awarded grants to entities in Minnesota and Iowa.
Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack made the announcement Wednesday.
Funding will also allow producers to use renewable energy technologies in their operations and conduct feasibility studies for renewable energy projects.
Grant and loan funding is made available through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), which is authorized by the 2008 Farm Bill. Acting Under Secretary for Rural Development Doug O' Brien made the announcement on behalf of the Secretary.
"REAP continues to help farmers and rural businesses reduce their energy consumption and by doing so, improve the bottom line of their operations," O'Brien said. "This important Farm Bill program and others like it would not be available without a comprehensive Food, Farm and Jobs Bill."
Under the terms of REAP, up to 25 percent of eligible project costs can be funded through a grant, and additional support can be provided in the form of a loan guarantee. Since the start of the Obama administration, REAP has helped fund nearly 8,000 renewable energy and energy efficiency projects nationwide.
REAP offers financial assistance to farmers, ranchers and rural small businesses to purchase and install renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements. These federal funds leverage other private funding sources. REAP also helps the conservation of natural resources and the development of new forms of energy that reduce America's dependence on fossil fuels and creates a stronger rural economy.
Follow this link to view the complete list of recipients announced under the REAP program.
Wednesday's REAP announcement helps support the June 2013 announcement of President Obama's Climate Action Plan, which outlines a comprehensive approach to reduce carbon pollution and better prepare the United States for the impacts of climate change. USDA continues helping rural America innovate to lead the world against modern climate challenges, and a summary of the USDA's efforts are available at www.usda.gov/climatesolutions.

Best Kids Parties: Winter Woodland Fairies
Name: Caroline (2)
Location: Norwich, CT
My almost-2-year-old is a little pixie who happens to be obsessed with Tinkerbell, so for her 2nd birthday I planned a winter woodland fairy party. Lots of greenery, pinecones, red & white, sparkles, and as many twinkle lights as I could find turned our house into a wonderland.
I ordered most of my decorations and supplies from Save-On-Crafts, Oriental Trading Company and Bake It Pretty, with a trip to Ikea to fill in the rest (their Christmas stuff is cheap and cute!), I scoured Pinterest for winter/woods themed food and found plenty of great options. To turn our guests into fairies I ordered wings from The Hair Bow Company.
Our menu included a pine cone cheese ball, pancake tower, sparkling brie bites, snowman marshmallow pops, olive wreath, buttermints and reindeer cookies. We also had a hot cocoa bar with a wide variety of toppings for everyone and grown-up add ins like peppermint schnapps for the adults.
To occupy the kids I set up a decorate your own edible tree station on a low table. I made a ton of green frosting, set out bowls of candy and sprinkles and provided ice cream cones to serve as the base for "Christmas trees". The kids also decorated foam ornaments with foam stickies (all from Target) and played in the cardboard house I painted to look like a fairy cottage.
Caroline had a wonderful day surrounded by friends, sparkles and magic. Happy Birthday Pixie!
Thanks Suzanne! Readers, say hi to Suazanne at Bebeh Blog.

Gold In Women's Eight Earned Her Celebrity Stature
LONDON, England – The 2012 Summer Olympics came to and end on Sunday, but the memories will last a lifetime for Yale rower Taylor Ritzel '10. Ritzel won a gold medal with the United States women's eight on Aug. 2 during the first week of the Games.
"On the medal stand as the national anthem was playing I was very overcome with emotion, something I didn't expect to be honest," Ritzel wrote in an email from London late last week. "Not only was I so honored to bring home the gold for the United States with my teammates, but I also realized that my personal journey to that point had been full of some ups and a few really low downs. It was an amazing experience to know that hard work and humility pay off, one that I will never forget."
Ritzel, who became the first Yalie to win a gold medal since sailor Jonathan McKee in 1984, remained in London after the rowing competition to enjoy the rest of the Olympic experience. She and her crew mates became celebrities following the gold medal performance, appearing on NBC's Today Show and Access Hollywood. Ritzel was even interviewed by Bruce Jenner.
"Usually rowing isn't a high-profile sport so being wined and dined is something I could definitely get used to," she said.
More importantly, though, Ritzel celebrated with her family. Her father and sister were among her many supporters who made the trip to the Games.
"I made sure to spend time with my friends and family," she said. "They have been just so amazing and supportive of me, and I feel so lucky to have them."
Ritzel also was able to take in some of the other events. She went to the track and field, triathlon, boxing and basketball venues.
"I loved seeing these other sports up close and seeing the world's best athletes walk around the Olympic village," she said. "I tried to take in all the Olympic hype."

Questions for Drawing 1
1. Examine the sketch, which appeared in the newspaper on August 29, 1863. It portrays Union cavalry attacking Confederate artillery and infantry positions. What different weapons appear to be used by the two armies?
2. Which side appears to be winning? On what do you base your opinion?
3. Compare this version of the battle with General Blunt's. How accurate does the picture seem to be?
* The drawing on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Drawing 1, but be aware that the file will take as much as 40 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Victoria Beckham understands why people stare at her husband, soccer star David.
"It's not healthy to be jealous. I look at David and I think, He's so handsome and I'm so lucky to have him as a husband," she told Glamour magazine's February issue. "And he's an amazing father. I don't blame people for looking at him and finding him attractive. I mean, I do."
Posh, who posed in a t-shirt and with an adorable puppy for the mag's cover, opened up about her life, and revealed that despite her A-list status, she gets nervous around mega-stars.
"Nervous in a good way. I [once] shared a plane with George Clooney," she said. "I still get excited. My mum and I said, 'Oh my God'…I'm leading an extraordinary life. I never try to be too cool about [it]."
One way the pop star-turned-fashion designer stays down to earth is through her three boys.
"I travel a fair amount, and when I'm here in LA, everything revolves around the kids. So if I'm not working, I go to the school and help serve lunches to the children. They just love that. It's like, 'Oh, there's Mummy serving me!'" Posh said.
Speaking of her own lunches, Posh sticks to eating just the good stuff.
"I'm a very, very healthy eater. I eat lots of fish, lots of vegetables, lots of fruit," she said. "I don't eat junk food. I work out."
And she credits working out – something she used to not do – with helping her look her best.
"I'm not a supermodel. I make the best of what I've got. I work out to look the best that I can, but I'm no Gisele," Posh said.
Speaking of Gisele, Posh may not have the supermodel's height, but she still can claim the same air space thanks to her super-high heels. She admitted, however, they cause her some pain.
"Absolutely, [heels make my feet] hurt. Absolutely! I'm not going to lie. But no pain, no gain, as they say. I don't mind," she told the mag. "I will suffer. I don't wear heels every day, but when I'm out, that's how I feel confident."

Violent Crime and Personal Safety
Tips and resources to help prevent violent crime, plus information and publications for victims of violence
The news is full of stories about people who have been raped, robbed, mugged, or otherwise assaulted, and everyone cringes when they hear these reports. Who hasn't feared becoming one of these victims? The truth, however, is that the incidence of personal violence has dropped to its lowest level in almost three decades.
Violent crime - murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault - was down from a high of 52.3 incidents per 1,000 people in 1981 to just 21.1 incidents per 1,000 in 2004, according to statistics compiled by the Bureau of Justice Statistics at the U.S. Department of Justice. Aggravated assault - which involves attack with a weapon or attack without a weapon that results in serious injury - was down even more sharply, from 12.4 incidents per 1,000 people in 1977 to just 4.3 incidents per 1,000 in 2004.
Everyone - and this applies to residents of big cities, small towns, and even rural areas - needs to be careful, but these lower rates of crime are evidence that if people are vigilant and take common-sense precautions, crime can be prevented.

[Editor's Note: Increased focus on Halloween as a holiday has led to an explosion in the offerings of Halloween-themed scrapbook supplies the past few years. This year, it seemed there were as many Halloween lines on display at CHA Summer 2010 as there might have been Christmas lines five years ago. Halloween is hot – even if you don't live in Florida like I do! In this piece, May brings together two huge trends – vintage and Halloween – to show off red hot (or is that smouldering orange) seasonal picks!]
One of my favorite aspects of scrapbooking holidays is that vintage inspired products are easy to put to use with my photos easily. Thanks to twists on tradition, color combinations that work for a variety of photos, classic designs, and new ideas the scrapbook market is filled this year with vintage inspired bliss. I can't wait for Halloween to be over just so I can have more photos and reasons to scrapbook!
Today I have five picks to share with you:
Graphic 45's "Halloween in Wonderland" [Scrapbook.com] is probably the Halloween collection I've heard the most buzz about. The designs are so much fun – it literally is "Halloween in Wonderland!" My personal favorites, though, are the more neutral (black and cream) pieces that could easily lend themselves to many of my non-holiday scrapbook needs.
Anna Griffin's "Esmerelda" collection [Scrapbook.com] is a dream come true. I usually find her product to be stunning – but my photos never seem quite formal or fancy enough to work well with the product. In this case, I feel like the intricate designs are perfect for any eerie, pumpkin filled, or spooky Halloween photos I might take.
Jenni Bowlin's chipboard buttons [Scrapbook.com] are a wonderful addition to any stash! I love the jack-o-lanterns and children pieces mixed in with the labels.
Echo Park Paper's digital Apothecary collection [at jessicasprague.com] combines a classic spooky Halloween look with patterns and designs that could be useful beyond the 31st of October. I love the damask and polka dot pieces especially.
Finally, I may be on the Girls' Paperie design team, but even if I weren't I still love their new line Toil & Trouble. It is vintage inspired Halloween product at it's finest. It doesn't matter how many projects I make with it – I still adore it! The Crepe Paper embellishments and the stickers (a great value!) are among my favorites – but you can't go wrong with any of it.
