Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and prepare for Oprah's farewell party. Remember: Gwynnie Paltrow won't eat anything that wasn't grown within a five-foot radius, and Gayle King only eats PayDay bars. It could just be the pickiest after party crowd in celebritydom. LET'S GO!
GLEE – 8:00PM (FOX) This is your final week left of season finales, so breathe it in, folks. Take in all the new episodes while you can, until summer hits and we're stuck with 3-hour blocks of "Wipeout." Tonight, the New Directions folks head on over to New York for their final episode, and much singing and dancing ensues. Patti LuPone is your guest star, and there will be a cover version of Sinatra's "New York New York," mashed up with Madonna's "I Love New York," and it will all be autotuned and choreographed to within an inch of its life just for you. There will also be a tune from "Wicked." Like this show would ever shy away from showtunes. ANTICIPATION: LAST GLEE!
DANCING WITH THE STARS – 9:00PM (ABC) Another big finale. Who will prevail among the final three this evening? Will it be Kirstie Alley? Will it be NFL wideout Hines Ward? Or will it be Chelsea Kane, who I've never heard of until now but seems reasonably not unattractive? You'll have to wait until tonight's two-hour(!) showdown to find out. Plus you get guest performances from the Go-Gos and the Black Eyed Peas to break up the long clip montages. ANTICIPATION: DANCEY!
BULLS/HEAT – 8:30PM (TNT) It's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals this evening, and if the Heat win we're looking at a probable rematch of the 2005 Finals between the Heat and Mavericks. Quick! Someone get me a crooked ref with deep gambling debts! ANTICIPATION: HIGH!
RIVER MONSTERS: UNHOOKED – 10:00PM (Animal Planet) Scouting giant eels. Mmmm… eels. Ever have eel/avocado sushi? Quite tasty. Whatever sauce it is they put on the eel, I want to bathe in it. ANTICIPATION: EELECTRIC!
CHOPPED – 10:00PM (Food Network) Your appetizers tonight must include duck hearts. Duck hearts? Well, that's just daffy. ANTICIPATION: TASTES LIKE EEL!

Not that we condone it, but where's a place you're basically guaranteed not to be caught?
While speed traps can spring up just about anywhere, there are a few locales where people go to check out what their car can really do. Whether it's because the density traffic just doesn't justify monitoring the speed, or because the geography would make it impossible for a cop to hide, where are the places you know you're not being watched?
If you've ever driven through central Pennsylvania, you've probably found yourself on Route 581. It's a connector road for I-81 and I-83, and for almost its entire length it's completely penned in by concrete barriers, meaning there's nowhere for anyone to hide. Though saturated by heavy traffic from morning to midnight (as evidenced by the picture), if you find yourself there at the witching hour, chances are you're without any other motorists, including police.
Where else is it hard for cops to catch speeders? If you know from first hand experience or from word-of-mouth, leave it in the comments. Drive responsibly.

So. We got scammed in Osaka last year. We were obviously bummed out because the Howe and I love Japan to bits. We find Japanese folks as one of the nicest people. Sadly, there will always be an exception. We got conned by this fake Mobile WiFi rental company so if you ever come across Japan Wireless — BEWARE! Everything looked legit on their website. You could even commend them for being helpful, easy to transact with, and responsive to your queries. P found them on the net. I'm guessing that he got them because they showed up at the first few entries in Google's search results. The gadget was pre-ordered and the agreed arrangement was for Japan Wireless to deliver the Mobile WiFi to our hotel.
We had a late-night flight and arrived at our hotel past midnight. The first thing P asked the concierge was if there was a delivery for him. Nada. Before heading out in the morning, we asked one last time if our Mobile WiFi's arrived. Nada. That's when we got suspicious. P messaged Japan Wireless to inform them about the incident. They even apologized and said that they would fix things from their end. But mind you, they asked us to NOT file a dispute with PayPal. Hmmm, that was a major red flag. That's when we became 100% sure that something was not right. Nonetheless, we filed for a dispute — thank GoD for PayPal! They're reliable and were efficient in taking the necessary actions to correct the boo-boo of Japan Wireless. PayPal facilitated the refund. The downside of this whole incident is that we both ended up availing of Globe's ( PH telco ) data roaming service for Php599 per day or about $12 per day. It's not the most cost-efficient scenario, but in this time when people cannot leave their homes without their mobile phones, data roaming service was better than nothing.
Thank you, Global WiFi!
This year's trip to the Land of the Rising Sun's different. We were more cautious. I also made sure that I took charge. Lol. Knowing that we'd arrive past 8:00PM in Kansai Airport, I was tempted to pre-order our Mobile WiFi because most shops are already closed by this time. I even considered getting from Japan Rail Pass, but I obviously have not gotten over last year's incident so I canceled my reservation last minute.
I almost jumped for joy when I learned that there were one or two rental shops in KIX that are open until 10:00PM. It just felt right to get the Mobile WiFi at the airport.
I'm glad that I trusted my instincts. As soon as we got past Immigrations & Customs, the first thing that greeted us was Global WiFi's rental shop — it was like an answered prayer. Strategically located at the 1st Floor of Kansai Airport's North Wing, there's no way that you'll miss their stall. Seeing the tourists returning their gadgets and some who were in line to rent one was a huge relief. I didn't hesitate getting our Mobile WiFi from them. And even if the sales representative and I barely understood each other, the entire process of filling out their forms, paying, and listening to the sales rep while she was explaining their policies in Japanese took less than 10 minutes.Ü
We were going to be in Japan for a week, but got the Mobile WiFi for 6 days because we arrived late on our first day. For 6 days, we paid for ¥5832 which includes tax. My credit card bill reflected Php 2,837 or approximately $63. Guys, this isn't bad at all! Of course, it was the practical thing to do and yes, we saved good bucks from this. Take note though, that Global WiFi does not accept cash payments.
If you ever plan on going to Osaka, I highly recommend getting your Mobile WiFi from Global WiFi. I'm all praises with the speed of their connection and signal was always excellent even when we were at the mountains ... just gave me another reason to want to live in this country. I was pretty much on Instagram Stories every hour and was constantly on Viber with my Family Group sharing photos & vids from my trip. P never missed his 'attack hours' with the game that he was playing.
We were so delighted with their service and again, the Internet speed. I kept wishing that if we could have even a fourth of the speed of Japan Internet here in my country, I'd be one happy little girl. Lol.
I know no one likes it, but do you have a travel scam story that you'd like to share just so we could all learn from it? How did you deal with it? Can you travel without the Internet? Or are you like me who, for whatever reason, just enjoys being connected to the world? Peace + ❥_Love + Good Vibes. RUSS.

Employees of Caurie Microfinance can be characterized by three traits: they work hard, long and passionately! How come?
Whatever branch of Caurie Microfinance I visit, from Louga in the north of Senegal to Vélingara in the south, the identification of employees with the institution is remarkable. Loan officers who work on loan contracts and Kiva profiles till midnight, supervisors who forget almost to eat because they are working that focused, and branch managers who go a step further and even sleep in their office: these are the kind of people I meet. What drives them? In a country with an unemployment rate of 48 percent, the risk of dropping out the formal sector and not finding a new job imposes a certain pressure to work hard, no doubt. But the answer lies deeper. In the two months I spent in Senegal, I found that their work ethos is based on the following aspects:
- Caurie's employees are utterly convinced of their employer's social mission! Caurie's approach of granting access to credit for the poor has been working well for 15 years. This reinforced everybody's belief in their approach. What's more, many of the early clients had remarkable success, last year's microentrepreneur of the year just being the cherry on the cake! Caurie MF is an acknowledged institution in Senegal and therefore an interesting employer for microfinance workers.
- Managers are leading by example! The majority of management staff consists of former loan officers. These were the people who shaped Caurie MF in the early days, when equipment was poorer and distances (due to the absence of branches) longer. Stories of two loan officers travelling hundred miles each day on a shared motorbike and on bad roads are impressive and give them "street credibility", believe me! These people are still the heart and soul of the institution and are passionate in everything they do.
- Chances for promotions are high! As stated above, Caurie's management consists mainly of promoted employees. Whether a secretary or driver is promoted to loan officer, a loan officer to supervisor, or a supervisor to branch manager or HQ management: it is announced publicly. Each couple of weeks there's a "note de service" (a memo) posted in the agencies, reminding all employees of their chance for promotions. The prospect to climb the ladder is a often cited motivation when I talk to loan officers.
These factors are not only driving Caurie's employees to outstanding performances, they also assure the continuity of the institution. They are good preconditions to enable Caurie's rapid growth while holding up its core mission of helping the poor.

(Sorry I've been out of the loop lately – have to admit, I'm a huge US soccer fan as well as a golf fan so between the World Cup, US Open and lack of Packer news, my posting frequency has sucked).
Read here from jsonline this morning. Bedard essentially talks about how classy Desmond Bishop is and how he has been very professional handling a difficult situation. Thanks to Schaef for pointing this out.
The striking part of this article to me is this quote by Winston "people thought I could be a head coach for no reason at all" Moss:
"I would anticipate Bishop having to make a career decision," said assistant head coach/inside linebackers Winston Moss. "If he feels as though he's ready to play more and move into another system, then he needs to not sign a contract (with the Packers) and he needs to move on and sign someplace else."
The way Moss chooses his words here indicates to me that 1) he was bothered that someone asked a question about Bishop (and playing time?) and/or 2) he just doesn't like the guy. I can't help but believe the latter. (I believe it was Moss who was behind the Brady Poppinga-must-start approach that clearly didn't pan out.) Compare for a moment how unprofessionally Moss responds here to how classy Bishop remains in what must be a brutally difficult situation for a good player.
The bottom line with Bishop is that the guy is still under-appreciated. The second he escapes Green Bay, he will dominate. Hawk was a bit better than Hawk has historically been last year but still no better than average, and not better than Bishop would be. Bishop is a guy who needs to be given a shot at a starting position. While I never wish injury on anyone, if there were an injury that allowed Bishop to get in (at any of the positions except perhaps Clay Matthews position), I would guarantee we wouldn't see a decline in overall LB performance whatsoever. In fact, I'd be pretty sure it would improve with him in there over time.
(I hope that in the next interview a reporter has with Rodgers, he/she asks Rodgers what he thinks of Bishop's lack of playing time. They played together at Cal and it would be interesting to see Rodgers spin a diplomatic answer.)

Bauer struggles with command; offense shut down
Rookie walks seven in Indians debut
ST. PETERSBURG -- Perhaps fitting for a pitcher known for his eccentricities and odd routines, Trevor Bauer's first start with the Indians was more than a bit unusual.
The 22-year-old right-hander, called up to make a spot start for the injured Scott Kazmir, gave up three runs and walked seven batters in the Tribe's 6-0 loss to the Rays on Saturday night, their second straight shutout at Tropicana Field.
Bauer walked the first four batters he faced, matching Tampa Bay's combined walk total from its previous four games. He got out of two bases-loaded jams in his first three innings. He somehow carried a no-hitter into the fourth despite his high walk total. He even had to hit when Cleveland gave up its designated hitter.
"I thought I was out of the National League," Bauer quipped.
Who would have guessed Bauer's outfield-spanning long toss and his running, hopping warmup heave wouldn't rank among the most unusual things that happened in his Indians debut?
By the time he was done after five innings and 105 pitches, Bauer had posted a bizarre pitching line of three runs on two hits, seven walks and two strikeouts -- plus a strikeout as a batter.
"I was missing by feet, not inches," Bauer said. "Sometimes I have outings like that, where I just can't find it and then I find it, and it's kind of what happened tonight. I had a rough first and third and then, after that, kind of found it and was able to locate again."
Bauer gave up the first run right away, walking the first four Rays batters who came to the plate. That made him just the second Indians pitcher since 1984 to walk four men to start a game. Bartolo Colon did the same on April 9, 1997.
"My worst moment? Probably walking the first four batters I faced. All four of them, just group it one moment," Bauer said. "You look up and you're like, 'Oh, it's bases loaded, one run's in and I still don't have an out. Uh oh.'"
Bauer got out of the first without any further damage, thanks mostly to right fielder Ryan Raburn, who caught a line drive from Yunel Escobar and made a sharp throw home in time for catcher Lou Marson to tag out Matt Joyce. That ended the inning, helped Bauer pitch as deep into the game as he did and, as manager Terry Francona pointed out, kept the Tribe within striking distance early on.
Bauer got out of a jam in the third inning after issuing a leadoff walk to center fielder Desmond Jennings, who went on to steal second and third. When Joyce knocked a grounder to Lonnie Chisenhall at third base, Jennings dashed home. Chisenhall fired the ball to Marson, but Jennings ran straight into the 26-year-old catcher, resulting in a violent collision that clearly shook up Marson but kept a run off the board.
"I think he's got a chance to be really good," Marson said of Bauer. "He just needs to figure out something where he can get his fastball down in the zone. I don't know if it's something with his mechanics. But I think he's got a chance to be very good. He got through it."
But the Rays touched him for two more runs in the fourth inning, when Jose Molina singled -- Tampa Bay's first hit -- and Kelly Johnson deposited an 0-1 pitch into the right-field stands.
"[Bauer's] good. He's got good stuff," Jennings said. "He just couldn't find his control early."
The Rays stranded 12 runners and left the bases loaded three times, which kept the game within reach, but Tampa Bay broke it open late. Right-hander Matt Albers took over for Bauer in the sixth and gave up a run on Shelley Duncan's RBI single to right. Cody Allen allowed two more runs in the eighth, when James Loney drove home Joyce and Evan Longoria with a double to center.
"I know they spread the game out, but they didn't do it early," Francona said. "If we hit, we give ourselves a chance to win."
Meanwhile, the Indians' lineup was shut out for the second straight game after scoring 15 runs in their season-opening series against the Blue Jays. Rays right-hander Alex Cobb threw 7 1/3 scoreless innings while striking out six and allowing only four hits.
The Indians haven't been shut out in three consecutive games since June 12-14, 1991, and it's only happened five times in club history. If they want to avoid joining that group, they'll have to get back on the board Sunday against reigning American League Cy Young Award winner David Price. No small task, but Francona believes his club is up for the challenge.
"We're scuffling a little bit," Francona said. "The thing I guess I hang my hat on is the guys right now that are scuffling, they've got a track record. Baseball has an amazing way of guys getting to their level. ... As cold as guys get, they get just as hot. That'll happen."

Links, Saks team for a good cause
When the going gets tough — as it did for Denver chapter of The Links, Inc. when its principal fundraiser, the Ebony Fashion Fair, went on hiatus — the tough go shopping.
At Saks Fifth Avenue Cherry Creek.
It wasn't that the members just up and decided to spend money for the heck of it; they were at Saks because store manager Kay Cline very generously offered to do what she could to help the chapter make up for lost income by hosting an event called Shop, Savor & Support. And of course it didn't hurt that some of Saks' best customers are Links.

Hey, DIY your SEO and smile!... Gotta love my host (no kidding)
How do we know when are we eligible for putting a signature link ?
There is no notification.
Maybe one day you'll notice an extra "rep blob" in the "postbit" next to your posts.
Like so:
Join Date: Aug 2011
Location: hyd
Posts: 65
Wow this is good, so a signature means that you contribute on the forum so it's great. I wonder why my direct link has been removed in the "free magazine site" section. the link is linked and relevant to my job because I asked everyone to review.
This is actually a good move done by the mods. Once I join forums, I always end up judging a forum as spam as people do not really interact but just spamming one thread to another.
After how much post admin give me the chance to appear my signature?
Sure I will take care of this. I'm trying fro this after some post.
I am new member and already done some of posts but still not showing signature option in my account, so I have to know how many posting requires for getting signature on post, please update me asap.
Best to move to other forums if you're naive enough to think that a quick forum signature still holds decent SEO value. If you're not that naive - and if you're here to stay and post VALUABLE bits of non-copied wisdom - then good luck and a warm welcome to you!

Educational. Visually stunning images, videos, and simulations. Informative captions. Free. Good access to social media.
No index or search function. Needs Internet connection to show videos.
Bottom Line
Science360 (for iPad) is a visual extravaganza, with a wealth of videos and images in a wide range of scientific disciplines, but its lack of indexing makes it better as inspiration to the curious than a research tool.
Science360 (for iPad), a free app created by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is a good tool for creating interest in the wonders of science. Its massive grid of thumbnails provides access to informative and often visually stunning images and videos related to NSF projects, sure to intrigue and delight even the most science-phobic among us. You can tweet links to NSF Web pages about the stories you discover or post them on Facebook. One thing you can't do is to research a topic, as there's no index.
The thumbnail grid is arranged in an 18-by-12 square matrix, a total of 216 squares, each containing a thumbnail, that can be scrolled through carousel style—vertically as well as horizontally. There's no beginning or end to the grid; after scrolling for 18 squares horizontally (or 12 vertically), the squares repeat, as if the grid surrounds the user. You can shrink the grid, revealing a larger number of thumbnails, but pinching the screen. Stretching the screen reveals captions, and identifies videos and images you've favorited.
Great Content, Disorganized
The squares don't seem to follow any particular organizational pattern, yet each individual square links to something fascinating. To demonstrate, I randomly selected a thumbnail; touching it called up a video that tells the story of Buckminsterfullerene, the soccer ball-shaped molecule, better known as a buckyball, composed of 60 carbon atoms. To either side of it are an image titled "Branching Morphogenesis—a 3D sculpture, made from 75,000 cable zip ties, based on a computer simulation of the behavior of lung cells—and a video about the relationship between a woman's body clock and her chance of getting breast cancer. (Women who work night shifts show higher rates of breast cancer.) Below the buckyball video is a slow-motion video showing the midair behavior of dragonflies.
Above the buckyball thumbnail is a generic "Science360" thumbnail. Touching it reveals a caption but no content: the rest of the screen is black. A look at the grid reveals about 16 such content-less squares. Nothing seem to load into them, despite an active Internet connection. That brings me to another issue: your iPad needs to be connected to access any of the video content, though photos already loaded remain accessible.
When you open an image or video, a bar containing 5 icons appears at the bottom of the screen. Tapping the screen once hides the bar, and tapping it again brings it back. The second icon, a star, lets you favorite or unfavorite content. The third integrates with social media, letting you post an item to Facebook, tweet an item, or email it. What you're sending is actually a link to a NSF news page containing the image or video and a description of it.

10 iPad Apps Everyone Should Have
75 Best iPad Games
iPad Apps Product Guide
Further Research
For images, the fourth icon is labeled HD, and lets you download a hi-res version to your iPad's camera roll. With videos, the fourth icon instead lets you access related videos. They're related by NSF video series, not necessarily by subject. While the buckyball video takes you to other chemistry-related videos in the NSF's Chemistry Now series, the dragonfly video is part of the Science Nation series, which also includes a video on engineering and music.
Although the general nature of many of the items is identifiable from the thumbnail; much of the grid is like Forrest Gump's proverbial box of chocolates: You never know what you're gonna get. In that is the great strength and weakness of Science360. It's not much use for research—there's no search function, for one thing. What it does is present a smorgasbord of visually compelling informative videos and images from a wide range of scientific disciplines, ready for your exploration. It's a feast for the curious.

set (one's) shoulder to the wheel
To make a sustained, concentrated, and vigorous effort; to work very hard and diligently. After I was nearly expelled in my first year of college, I decided to stop fooling around, set my shoulder to the wheel, and get as much out of my degree as I could. I know that the new deadline is tight, but if everyone sets their shoulders to the wheel, I know we can get it done in time!

INDIANAPOLIS – The No. 15 Georgia College baseball team (35-15) jumped from eighth to fifth in the most recent NCAA Southeast Region Rankings, the NCAA announced Wednesday.
The Bobcats powered through a three-game sweep of Armstrong Atlantic over the weekend to get the big push. GC has won 11 of their last 12 games.

Apologies for sparce posting this week- I got some kind of bug on Tuesday and have been suffering ever since. In a grotesque way, as I've been reading nothing more intellectual than Private Eye, Prospect and the Economist, I thought I'd look at the Old Bailey website under the common cold. What's interesting is that as these two anecdotes prove, people in the seventeenth century knew that a cold was related to the cold. The two anecdotes though aren't so much about that relationship as they are about those who operated at the boundaries of society. Both concern women who were, for whatever reason, exposing their children. The court deemed in both cases, as you'll see that they were committing infanticide; however the record doesn't provide a reason for suggesting that they might not have been merely abandoning rather than killing their Babies.
The records are short, so I'll include them in their totality. First this from 1678:
But of the women, two after Judgement pleaded their Bellies in respit of Execution, and by a Jury of Matrons were found Quick with Childe. Another condemned for murdering her Bastard Infant, died in Goal the next day after Sentence; It being supposed that by going abroad immediately after her Delivery upon the unnatural designe of exposing her Childe (as she did) in the streets, she might catch Cold, which together with the dejection of her Spirits, might hasten her End, and prevent an Ignominious by an untimely death.Secondly from 1679, this:
Another Servant was found Guilty of Murthering her Bastard-Child ; She pretended to be delivered at the House-of-office, and that it was Still-born: but it was proved that she had privately wrapt it up in her Apron, and was carrying it in an Hand-basket to bury it; but being met by one that would needs see what she got there, was discovered; and all this within an hour after she was Delivered. So lusty she was to do so Villanous a Deed, venturing abroad, and going a considerable way from where she dwelt, enough in that respect to have occasioned her own Death, (considering her condition) as she had been the means of the Death of her innocent Infant. But though she escaped catching Cold, she did not escape Justice, but is Condemned to Die.
Both stories are suspiciously alike. I think they are fascinating though because they provide a real psychological account of breakdown (in the first case) and of determination in the second. Both accounts make the infanticide sound purely irrational- we don't know whether it was or not, these are the only accounts that survive. In both cases the women did what they did straight after the birth, immediately in the first case, one hour later in the second. What's interesting is that we have different levels of detail. In the first account we are told that the woman sickened and died from a cold and from dejection: we have evidence there of some kind of depression following from the infanticide. In the second case we have less detail on the woman's reaction and more on her method, she stole the baby away without anyone else seeing it. In both cases though the writer envisages that the woman risked suffering in other ways- from cold- the equation between risk and crime is definitely there.
The most powerful thing I get from both accounts is a picture of a woman on the street abandoning her baby. The interesting thing is that like so much of history I don't know what preceded that picture: I don't know why what followed it (death from cold or hanging) followed it and I am left completely in the dark as to the motivations of those involved. All I have is a vivid trace- I think these documents are fascinating both for what they reveal and don't reveal. What do you make of them?

Crafted from a blank canvas and meticulously cut for your shape, the pattern and fit is designed
exclusively for the customer's unique body
The human body contains very few straight lines, therefore, Chan's bespoke patterns are also
hand-drawn in order to adjust to the customer's own form
Bespoke can emulate, and imitate styles up to a certain degree, but at the end of the day it can only
be crafted for your form alone
Bespoke & Ready to Wear tailoring are ultimately of different worlds that truly cannot be compared.
With Ready to Wear, you inhabit a creation drawn up to fit an industry standard body prior to any
necessary adjustments of your own and is born out of the styling of its designer. Bespoke places
the control in your own hands: the shaping is to your body, the details entirely up to your discernment,
the look a result of true collaboration between yourself and your tailor. As the relationship blossoms,
so too can your signature style
The Chan concept of Bespoke Tailoring is to preserve the essence of bespoke and the trusted principles
of quality suiting, yet involve using the finest of techniques and the acknowledgment of the myriad
developments in styles, preferences and society.

Banks blow up mortgage settlement talks, despite Iowa AG Tom Miller's begging and whimpering!!
The five biggest mortgage servicers have cancelled a planned negotiating session with representatives of the 50 State Attorneys General in apparent protest over a federal regulator filing suit against them, a source familiar with the matter tells TIME.
The banks canceled the meeting on Tuesday afternoon in protest over the announcement last Friday that the Federal Housing Finance Agency would bring a broad case against 17 firms, including those in talks with the State AGs. The FHFA, which oversees mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, alleges the firms violated securities law by misrepresenting the value of bundles of high-risk mortgages they sold. FHFA did not say how much the case might be worth, but outside analysts have said it could potentially produce billions of dollars in compensatory damages from the firms.

One of the buildings at your facility has a lightning protection system. Yet, the building shell sustained lightning damage during a recent storm. Worse, there was damage to several distribution panels and associated equipment. The plant manager wants you to determine what are wrong with the lightning protection system and that big surge protection panel at the service entrance.
How can you best answer your plant manager's concerns, and what steps should you take to properly investigate these issues?
There may be nothing wrong with your lightning protection system. These systems don't reach out and grab incoming lightning. Instead, they provide a preferred path and conduct the lightning to ground. While a properly designed and maintained system greatly reduces the odds of a direct strike, there are no guarantees.
But is your system properly designed? Review it against NFPA 780 and LPI-175 to determine if it is.
Over time, these systems deteriorate. Conduct ground testing to determine the condition of your grounding system. Ground testing is widely misunderstood and often done incorrectly; consider hiring a ground testing firm. Then visually inspect the entire system, from the air terminals to the point where each down conductor connects to the grounding system.
It's good to have surge protection at the service. But a single unit cannot possibly protect against the entire range of transient energy. You need a staged system that coordinates protection levels with power distribution levels.
Make sure you don't have any ground (earth) connections on the load side; your lightning protection system sends lightning to ground.

New technologies at the heart of the system make your Mac more reliable, capable, and responsive — and lay the foundation for future innovations. macOS High Sierra also refines the features and apps you use every day. It's macOS at its highest level yet.
Get a boost with new technologies.
macOS High Sierra introduces new core technologies that improve the most important functions of your Mac. From rearchitecting how it stores your data to improving the efficiency of video streaming to unleashing the full power of your graphics processor, it's all central to today's Mac experience.
Apple File System.
Your data is under new management.
Your documents. Your photos. Your mail. Your apps. To your Mac, everything you care about is data. And a file system is what organizes all that data into files and folders you can access with a click. Our current file system was designed in the early days of Mac, and it has performed beautifully ever since. But today's flash‑based Mac systems open up new possibilities for innovation, so it's time to lay a new foundation. With macOS High Sierra, we're introducing the Apple File System to every Mac with all‑flash internal storage, with an advanced architecture that brings a new level of security and responsiveness.
HEVC. The new standard for video.
With the rising popularity of 4K video, a new industry standard arrives on Mac — HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding, also known as H.265).1 It can compress video up to 40 percent more than H.264, the current standard for video compression. Using HEVC, videos stream better and take up less space on your Mac, while preserving the same visual quality.2
Virtual reality for Mac.
It's a whole new world.
macOS High Sierra lets developers create interactive virtual reality experiences on Mac for the first time, using the new iMac with Retina 5K display, the new iMac Pro coming in late 2017, or any supported Mac paired with an external GPU.3 With optimized support for Valve's SteamVR and the HTC Vive VR headset, and content creation apps like Final Cut Pro X, Epic Unreal 4 Editor, and Unity Editor, developers have everything they need to create immersive new worlds for you to explore.
Your favorite apps and features get a boost, too.
Navigate, organize, and edit your photos like never before with new features in the Photos app. Tailor your web browsing experience in Safari. Find what you're looking for even faster in your Mail inbox. macOS High Sierra makes a great experience even greater.
Photos. More ways to edit. More ways to organize. More ways to wow.
People love working with their photos on a Mac. So for macOS High Sierra, we focused on giving you new tools that make organizing and editing more efficient and fun.
Now you can organize your photos in a flash.
Instantly filter photo collections by your favorite criteria. A new selection counter keeps track of what you've selected, and lets you drag and drop collected images into an album or export them to the desktop. You can also rotate and favorite batches of images right from the toolbar.
Perfect your best shots with advanced editing tools.
Easily make sophisticated contrast and color adjustments to your photos with powerful tools like Curves for fine‑tuning contrast and Selective Color to make any color more saturated. And new, professionally inspired filters let you quickly give your pictures a distinctive look.
Bring even more life to your Live Photos.
When editing a Live Photo, try the new Loop effect to turn it into a looping video that you can experience again and again. Try Bounce to play the action forward and backward. Or choose Long Exposure for a beautiful DSLR‑like effect to blur water or extend light trails. You can also trim, mute, and select a key photo for each Live Photo.
Relive your favorite moments with new Memories.
macOS High Sierra introduces more than a dozen new Memories categories — including pets, babies, outdoor activities, performances, weddings, birthdays, and sporting events — for even more personal and meaningful moments.
The People album gets even better with faces.
Easily find your favorite subjects in the People album with larger image thumbnails and more accurate groupings. And when you use iCloud Photo Library, your album stays up to date on all your devices.
More ways to work with third‑party apps.
Open a picture in a third‑party photo editing app like Photoshop or Pixelmator directly from Photos, and your edits will automatically be saved in your Photos library. You can also download third‑party project extensions from the Mac App Store that let you order framed prints, create web pages, and more, right from the Photos app.
The features you love.
Now with more to love.
Intelligent Tracking Prevention. Keep your browsing to yourself.
Remember when you looked at that green mountain bike online? And then saw annoying green mountain bike ads everywhere you browsed? Safari now uses machine learning to identify advertisers and others who track your online behavior, and removes the cross‑site tracking data they leave behind. So your browsing stays your business.
Say goodbye to videos that auto‑play.
Now Safari keeps unexpected and unwanted videos with audio from playing in the first place, so you can browse in peace. Have a favorite site where you always want videos to play? Use new per‑site settings in Safari to enable media auto‑play.
Reader. Always on.
Automatically use Safari Reader for every web article that supports it, so you can view websites without ads, navigation, and other distractions.
Your favorite websites. Tailored to you. By you.
Personalize your browsing experience in Safari by enabling settings for individual websites, like page zoom level, location services, notifications, and content blockers. So each website appears just how you like it.
Browse faster. Watch longer.
Browse the Internet using Safari, the world's fastest desktop browser. Safari smokes all other browsers on benchmark after benchmark in testing on both macOS and Windows, using the same Mac.4 You'll also surf the web and watch Netflix videos for hours longer than other browsers.5
Let Siri be your personal DJ.
When you listen to Apple Music, Siri can now learn your preferences and offer recommendations.6 Feeling relaxed? Ask Siri to play something mellow. Siri is also a music expert that can read album notes and tell you more about songs, albums, and artists.
Siri gets even more expressive.
Siri has a more natural voice, with more changes in expression, intonation, and emphasis based on what it's saying. In other words, your personal assistant sounds more like a person — whether it's telling you the weather or helping you find that presentation from last week.
Track your flight with Spotlight.
Now Spotlight does even more. Enter your flight number to see arrival and departure times, terminals, gates, delays — even maps.
Top Hits. A smarter way to search in Mail.
Mail search is now faster and easier with Top Hits, which puts the messages most relevant to your search right at the top of the list. Top Hits reflects the mail you've read, the senders you reply to, your VIPs, and more. And the more you search, the smarter it gets.
Capture the moment in FaceTime.
macOS High Sierra lets you save a special moment in a FaceTime call as a Live Photo. Both participants receive a notification that the photo was taken, and the Live Photo goes into your Photos library.
Keep important notes at the top with pins.
Pin your most used notes, like grocery lists, to‑do lists, and meeting agendas, to the top of Notes so you can easily find them when you need them. Your thoughts have never been so organized.
Take note: Now you can add tables to Notes.
Need to organize a potluck? Keep track of Little League stats? Track expenses on a business trip? Keep everything organized in a table, right in Notes.
Share with anyone right from iCloud Drive.
Easily share any file stored in iCloud Drive with a link. The people you invite can simply click the link and get to work — no creating copies, sending attachments, or managing versions.
iCloud storage plans. With room for the whole family.
Now you can share an iCloud storage plan with your entire family. Choose 200GB or 2TB and give everyone enough space to store photos, videos, documents, and more.

Cuff Five Strand Ethiopian Opal
This statement cuff is set off by the marquis shaped opal gemstone. Five strand cuff of blackened sterling silver and sterling sliver straps with 14k yellow gold rivets accenting with a marquis shaped Ethiopian white opal, 5 ctw. The cuff is sized for a 7.5" or medium wrist and has the flexibility to adjust to a small or large.
The stone name opal comes from the Sanskrit word "upala" for stone, or precious stone. There are seemingly endless varieties of opal, ranging from opaque common opal to fiery precious opal. Opal is a stone of inspiration which enhances imagination and creativity. It can bring inspiration to projects and to life and Spirit.
The Bondage Collection. Bondage refers to a design element resembling straps that cross over the interesting gemstones in many of the designs and appear to bind the gems in the jewelry with contrasting rivets. The custom jewelry designs explore the mix of textures and finishes on sterling silver and accents in yellow gold. The strap element is applied to feature the natural variations in the gemstones. There is an elegance to how these elements contrast and compliment one another.
Bracelet Sterling Silver Medallion Large-Reversible
This bold breathtaking string of sterling silver medallions will complete your look perfectly.
The paisley motif originated more than 3,000 years ago in Babylon, where it was called boteh. It was known as a symbol of renewal and represented with a stylized floral spray joined with a cypress tree.
Blackened Textured Cuff In Aquamarine and Sterling Silver
This one of a kind handmade statement cuff so gently wraps around and ends with a pop of color.
The symbolism behind the trilogy varies with your culture and beliefs. Some believe it is a declaration (and confirmation) of "you are my past, my present, and my future". Some believe it just means simply "I love you".
Dancing Gems Sterling Silver Cuff
The movement created by various shapes of gemstones gives the illusion they are dancing!
Bracelet Cable Sterling Silver Filigree Charm
Lisa's signature design charm dangles delicately from the patterned cable bracelet.
Lisa Robin's signature jewelry collection, the Portale (por-TAHL-lay) pieces take their name from the Italian word for doorway. This design was inspired by a wrought-iron lintel above a doorway on a quiet street in Florence, home to some of the world's most beautiful art and architecture. The Portale design makes its way into many of Lisa's pieces somehow.
Bracelet Sterling Silver Filigree Circle
A uniquely traditional style, this bracelet features an original filigree design with two open circles on either side. In beautiful sterling silver, this piece satisfies many aesthetics.

Teixeira maintains eight-week timetable
Yankees first baseman hopes to return right around May 1 from wrist injury
DETROIT -- As Mark Teixeira walked into the visiting clubhouse at Comerica Park on Friday morning, he went past a television showing MLB Network. The headline on the screen said Teixeira could be back sooner than expected.
The first baseman saw it, flashed a big smile and laughed before updating the status of the partially torn tendon sheath in his right wrist. The injury occurred while preparing for the World Baseball Classic in early March.
"Eight weeks is still my timetable," Teixeira said. "Eight to 10. They're not going to let me come back in six or seven. May 1 is right around eight weeks. I think it's eight weeks and a day, so that's a nice round number for me. … I'm not sure where that came from.
"I'm no calendar expert, but when you look at a calendar and it says eight weeks and May 1, it is what it is. Nothing has changed, though, no."
Teixeira has been fielding grounders, working on strengthening and says he feels good. He'll visit again with a doctor when the team returns from the road trip late next week. If all looks well, he'll start swinging again.
As for why he's with the team rather than being in Tampa, Teixeira has seen plenty of Florida in the past month.
"I want to be with the team," he said. "I want to be as supportive as I can and be with our training staff, too. Being in Tampa is great, but we were just there for six weeks, and I kind of want to be with the team as long as I can. I'll go to Tampa once I'm ready to play games."

Gatorade "Be Like Mike"
On Friday, Feb. 13 during NBA All-Star week in New York, Gatorade allowed fans to step into the shoes of Michael Jordan by taking part in a series of athletic challenges to celebrate the return of "Be Like Mike," one of sport's most iconic commercials. Students from area high schools, media members and even Nick Cannon recreated iconic moments that defined Jordan's career—they shot, dunked, won and even dressed like Mike! The event was captured in an online video right before the All-Star game launched a social media campaign encouraging fans to show how they #BeLikeMike.
Guest speakers were NBA legends Horace Grant and Dominique Wilkins. They shared their experiences playing with and against Jordan in such epic moments as the 1988 Slam Dunk Contest and "The Shot on Ehlo" during the Bulls 1989 Eastern Conference Finals victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The event was another celebratory milestone for Gatorade during its 50th anniversary year.

Unique to normal: the approach of doctors to patients
What is normal? Scientific medicine today tells us how much we should weigh, what our blood pressure should be, and whether our height or the quality of our eyesight count as disabilities. These standards are supposed to be universal, but ancient and medieval physicians once argued that every patient was unique. It was the task of the skilful physician, they said, to prescribe cures that were suited to the individual case.
The causes of differences: the investigation in the Enlightenment
Before the rise of scientific medicine, people didn't consider malformations as medical problems in need of correction or treatment. Instead, malformations in humans and animals were interpreted as signs from God, or as evidence of the playfulness of Nature. In the Enlightenment, researchers began to investigate what caused these differences, arguing that their research would also shed light on how healthy bodies are formed. From about 1800, anatomists and universities created collections of these interesting pathological specimens for research and teaching.
How to define normality?
The word 'normal' was originally a mathematical term - in fact it wasn't applied to humans until the 1800s. Normality could be defined in two ways: qualitatively and quantitatively. Qualitatively, you could compare a body part to a specimen or a model which showed what the normal state should look like. Examples from the Science Museum's collection are the model of a horse and the retina models used for the training of doctors with the ophthalmoscope. When, in the 1800s, measurement became important for medicine, this approach led to another, quantitative definition of normality.
Adolphe Quetelet - statistics and society
Statisticians such as Adolphe Quetelet began to apply statistics to society. He defined the 'average man' against which individuals could be judged. Clinicians used their access to large numbers of patients in hospitals to establish 'normal' values for physical features, such as temperature and blood pressure.
Francis Galton's attempts at defining normality
The English scientist Francis Galton (1822-1911), a cousin of Charles Darwin, used both qualitative and quantitative approaches to define normality. With composite photographs he attempted to establish types of criminals and diseases. He superimposed photographs of large numbers of criminals and other abnormal persons, thinking that this would result in images of 'abnormal types'. To his surprise, he found that the composites of these 'abnormals' tended to look just like everyone else.
How does one define normality?
Definitions of normality make medical diagnosis easier, but they also bring with them a number of problems. It is not obvious how the normal should be defined. In the case of body temperature, for instance, researchers have proposed a number of ranges for what should count as normal. Different medical encyclopedias give different temperatures.
The negative effects of defining normality
Definitions of normality can also have far-reaching social consequences. Galton, for instance, developed the notion of eugenics, the idea that the human race could be improved through breeding if only 'normal' people were allowed to have children. This idea was taken up in many countries in the early 1900s, including the UK, the US, Germany and Sweden. But eugenics initiatives have led to the forced sterilisation and even murder of 'non-normals'. During the Cold War, the American civil service used lie detectors to search for homosexuals among its employees, who were considered 'non-normals' and therefore potential threats to national security. Today, activists continue to raise awareness about the negative effects of definitions of normality.

Motor Trend's the latest buff book to chime in on Chevrolet's upcoming Viper-beater Corvette. (You'll recall that car was dubbed "Blue Devil" for an early prototype spied on the N rburgring, which happened to be blue.) According to the magazine, the new super 'Vette will indeed have a supercharged version of the 7.0-liter LS7 V8, but will be dubbed Stingray (one word), and according to their illustration, will get Super Sport badging. A liberal use of carbon fiber will reportedly bring weight down to 2900 lbs — 232 lbs less than the Z06. MT says we'll see the launch in mid-2007.

After standing idly by while three of his novels have been turned into screenplays, Dennis Lehane is stepping up to bring "Animal Rescue " to the big screen.
The film will be based on a short story by Lehane about the disappearance of a pit bull that leads to a killing. The story was originally part of an anthology called "Boston Noir" which Lehane edited, reported Variety.
Lehane is not totally inexperienced in screenwriting, having penned three episodes for "The Wire." If you can write for "The Wire," you can probably hack it in Hollywood.
U.S. & World
The first Lehane film adaptation, "Mystic River," earned six Oscar nominations, with Sean Penn and Tim Robbins wining for Best Actor and Supporting Actor, respectively. Next was Ben Affleck's directorial debut, "Gone Baby Gone," starring his younger brother Casey, which earned Amy Ryan a Best Supporting Actress nomination.
Next week will see the release of the third Lehane film, Martin Scorsese's "Shutter Island," starring Leonard DiCaprio, and Sam Rami hopes to begin filming "The Given Day" soon.
