Do uber gift card credit not working Job Like Ubers Promotional Codes?
Fortunately no!
When Uber does a promo, what most people think the promotion claims is something like, \"Obtain $15 Off.\" People naturally assume that means Uber will certainly pay for $15 well worth of rides whether it takes 1 or 2 or 3 journeys to amount to $15. They think that if they take a trip that sets you back $5 and then a 2nd trip for $10, that Ubers $15 promo will pay fully for both rides given that they amount to $15 in charges. Motorcyclists assume that Uber will pay $15 and that theyll pay absolutely nothing for their very first two trips.
However if they look better theyll see the promotion really says, \"Get $15 Off Your First Journey.\" That means the $15 will only relate to the very first trip they take after getting in the promotion code right into the application. As opposed to paying the complete $15, Uber will just compensate to $15 on the initial trip. They will after that pay nothing on any type of succeeding journey– also if the initial trip fell much except $15. So, if your very first trip is $5 and your second is $10, you will pay $10 and Uber will only pay the $5 for the initial trip.
Uber has actually played so many advertising techniques with guests that its reasonable why people might be scared there is some trick with the uber gift card credit not working. Nevertheless, there is no trick. If you provide someone a $15 gift card– making use of the example above– Uber will certainly pay the complete $15 even if its spread across several trips.

"The perfectly-ironed shirt should take approximately five minutes to complete but take your time as hurrying can cause some ugly mistakes. You should always adhere to the recommended temperature settings on the iron and turn on the steam (these features are there to help you) making sure there is the proper amount of water inside. Check the label for the shirt's material; 100 per cent cotton and linen will need a high setting and a cool iron will not remove the wrinkles properly."
some common mistakes...
Never iron a shirt that is not 100 per cent clean as this can set stains into the fabric. Shirts should be changed daily to avoid ingrained soiling
After removing your shirt from the machine, hang it until slightly damp to make ironing easier. This will give the shirt a nice crisp finish. If you've over-dried your shirts then slightly dampen them before ironing
Linen shirts require particular washing and ironing methods. Some linen can be machine-washed but repeatedly doing so will make linen soft. You should always air-dry them after washing but dry cleaning will keep them looking crisp
It's tempting when in a hurry to just swipe the iron over the top of the buttons. This is not advisable, particularly as nowadays many buttons are made of plastic and not the more heat-withstanding mother-of-pearl. Half melted or broken buttons will just ruin the overall finish

[Image of Falls Church Community Center courtesy of fallschurch.patch.com]
This week, electionlineWeekly launched the first of occasional "First Person Singular" articles featuring the perspectives of folks in the elections field. The first installment is from David B. Bjerke, General Registrar for the City of Falls Church, VA. Thanks, as always, to Mindy Moretti for the idea (with some help from the Washington Post) … it's reprinted below.
In my previous employment I was a drummer. Actually, I was a drummer, manager, booking agent, accountant, web developer, public relations contact, etc; but still only got paid as a drummer. Does this wearing of many hats in an occupation sound familiar?
I call it event management and I see many parallels from my previous employment existing in my current employment as the General Registrar of Voters for the City of Falls Church, Va.
Running elections is event management and a background in performance art, from music to theatre, helps me understand that the show must go on. Of course, voter registration and election professionals know this all too well.
No matter how much we prepare for an event like an election, we cannot prepare for everything.
On past Election Days I've dealt with an earthquake, fire alarms that were not practice drills, gas leaks in polling places, severe lightning storms, and let us not forget Hurricane Sandy just before this last presidential.
The earthquake, fire alarms and gas leaks cause us to train our election officers on how to evacuate the polling place. We have a priority list in place so that during evacuation, election officers know what they can take if they have the time. Their lives and safety are our number one priority of course so I won't dwell on the common sense priorities.
However, if there is any time we want all cast votes to be secured with the election officers. After that we want to be able to run the election in the parking lot. We provide extension cords, batteries, and plenty of emergency paper back up.
We also work with our local government to have back up generators ready if needed. In the best-case scenario, our polling places are functioning without issue outside away from the building. In a less than best case scenario, the election officers are able to allow voters to use the provisional ballot process to cast paper ballots in a locked ballot box because there is no power to use electronic equipment.
However, even with this much preparation for an event, we can't plan for everything.
I work a mile from where I live so I do not have many excuses not to keep my office open. No matter the weather outside I feel obligated to be in my office running the election that includes the 45 days of in-person absentee voting prior to Election Day.
As Hurricane Sandy bore down on us on Sunday October 28, 2012, the Electoral Board and I made the decision that we would keep our in-person absentee voting hours normal for Monday even though most businesses and governments had already closed. We did not want to disenfranchise any voters who were willing to brave the elements to have their chance to vote absentee in case they had to be absent on Election Day.
We opened the polls that Monday morning without incident at 8 a.m. At 10 a.m. we noticed a problem: Heavier than normal turnout. Normally this is a good thing, but not during times of inclement weather with public safety being a top priority.
With our office of communications releasing the news of city government closures with the exception of absentee voting, we realized we were actively encouraging voters to come out to vote. With everything else in the area shut down for public safety reasons, we were the one destination still open for people who were seeking something to do.
Our purpose was to not disenfranchise people but that purpose was contrasting with a need for public safety. Therefore, we announced at 10 a.m. that we were suspending in-person absentee voting at noon and would reopen when city hall reopened. We reopened on Wednesday and extended our hours from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. through Saturday to make up for the hours we were closed.
In cases of inclement weather, evacuating the polling place is not an option. If an ice storm hits before the polls open on Election Day, we train our election officers that the first person able to open the polling place needs to deputize the first two voters in line and start the voting process concurrent with Virginia law. However, this won't always be possible.
On September 11, 2001, New York City was holding primaries for that year's Mayoral Election. The atrocities of that day caused the primaries to be postponed until September 25, 2001. Obviously postponements can happen, but they are exceedingly rare. Our job is to operate as if there are no do overs or postponements on Election Day, as our New Jersey and New York peers know all too well in regards to Hurricane Sandy.
On a personal note, my family had some interesting timing plans of our own. My wife gave birth to our second child, a daughter named Ashley, on November 9, 2012, just three days after the presidential election, and only a day after her expected arrival. Perfect timing I say, but I'm sure glad I didn't have to juggle family obligations with work obligations if Ashley had arrived earlier. On the other side of the family and life cycle, I know a few election administrators that also lost family members right around Election Day. I can't and don't want to imagine how hard that is for them, but my thoughts and prayers are always with them.
We get the pleasure of this work with a hard deadline and the inability to allow even one mistake all on a shoestring budget and somehow we continue to pull it off successfully. Staying out of the news is usually our goal on top of successfully run elections, yet the bottom line continues to be that we can't explain this job to anyone.
Unless you work in this field, it is nearly impossible to explain. Most people seem to think we work one day year, or worse, one day every four years, as if magic fairy dust is responsible for fully staffed and equipped polling places on Election Day.
Thanks, David!

South Africa 39-41 Australia, Tri-Nations, Bloemfontein
Wallabies cling on to win a classic
September 4, 2010
Kurtley Beale celebrates his match-winning penalty in Bloemfontein

Australia held their nerve to win a classic Tri-Nations battle with South Africa 41-39 at Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein on Saturday, sealing the Mandela Challenge Plate in the process.
Fullback Kurtley Beale landed a monster 55-metre penalty with the last kick of the game to secure the Wallabies' first win on the high veldt since 1963, having seen a 31-13 half-time advantage wiped out by a fired-up Springbok fightback in the second period. Defeat condemned the Springboks to the wooden spoon, a year on from their all-conquering exploits in last season's tournament.
The visitors, who slumped to defeat in Pretoria last weekend after similarly quick start, scored five tries to the hosts' three, with Beale, James O'Connor, Stephen Moore, Rocky Elsom and Drew Mitchell all breaching the South African defence. The bonus-point was wrapped up before 25 minutes had passed but from there on in it was a South African onslaught, with Jaque Fourie, Jean de Villiers and Gurthro Steenkamp scoring tries to complement 24 points from the masterful boot of Morne Steyn.
As they did at Loftus Versfeld, the Wallabies hit the ground running. The Springboks had no answer to the pace of the visitors' offence or their continuity, which allowed them to seamlessly change the point of attack against leaden-footed defenders. Beale rounded off a superb team move for the opening try and benefited from precision work by Quade Cooper, Adam Ashley-Cooper and O'Connor. Cooper's long pass stretched the defence and with space in front of them the Wallabies' 13-14 combination made quick work of sending Beale over under the posts.
Their second followed five minutes later and was presented to them on a platter. John Smit horribly overthrew his jumpers at the lineout and with the Springboks scrambling to cover their lines the ball was quickly shipped to O'Connor, who stepped off his right to score.
Steyn kicked six points for the Springboks to momentarily take the attention away from the carnage at the other end but his side were soon on the back-foot again. Moore powered over from close range for Australia's third try, adding weight to his selection ahead of the less physical Saia Faingaa.
The bonus-point was wrapped up four minutes later and again the Bok defence was made to look alarmingly lightweight by O'Connor's burst, with Elsom providing support on his inside. The Wallabies skipper loped clear and crashed over under the sticks, silencing the crowd until they found their voice to boo former golden boy Bryan Habana following an error.
The Springboks showed heart to claw themselves back onto an even keel. Moments before the break Victor Matfield had the crowd in raptures as he broke from a ruck before collecting his own chip and chase. The finishing touches were expertly laid on as his offload was collected by Fourie, who scored his 30th Test try unopposed.
The wave of good feeling generated by Matfield's grandstand moment continued after the break. Steenkamp again showed his nose for a try by barging over from close range, the TMO awarding the score before Steyn landed a third penalty to bring his side within eight points.
A colossal error from Beale gifted South Africa their third try and closed the gap to one. The Wallaby fullback dropped in at scrum-half five metres from his line and fired his pass a metre over the fly-half's head and out of play. From the ensuing scrum the Springboks wasted no time in unleashing Jean de Villiers on the crash ball and the former Munster centre breezed past Cooper to notch another five points.
Steyn converted and following a lull in proceedings sent over a beautiful kick to snatch the lead for his side. The Wallabies retreated further into their shells, making regular errors and allowing the Boks to be swept along by a partisan crowd. The home side's task was made considerably easier by a moment of stupidity from replacement hooker Faingaa, a nasty spear tackle on Flip van der Merwe which luckily for him did not prove to be as costly as it was witless.
Steyn slotted three more points as Faingaa trooped to the bin but Australia showed their true colours with a gung ho try to tip the game back into the balance. Replacement scrum-half Luke Burgess took a quick tap on the South African 22 and allowed Cooper and Berrick Barnes to conjure sublime passes in the build-up to Mitchell's swan dive across the line.
A calamitous rebound off the face of Beale as Cooper looked to spread the ball wide led to Steyn's next shot at goal and the fly-half held his nerve to apparently hammer the final nail into the Wallabies' coffin. Van der Merwe could not keep his hands to himself at a last minute ruck however and Beale smashed over the winning points in the grandest tradition of John Eales and Stirling Mortlock. Next up is another shot at the All Blacks in Sydney, with another hoodoo to be broken.

It's hard to imagine living with a severe facial deformity, but what about living your life with someone else's face? Until recently, victims of severe facial trauma or burns have had little recourse beyond often ineffective skin grafts. But this week, doctors have declared two face transplants long-term successes. Caution: The photo after the jump shows a facial wound.Performing a face transplant is a difficult procedure that involves many disciplines. Underlying facial structures can be very complex, so doctors must configure sinuses, reattach blood vessels and nerves, and try to make the result aesthetically pleasing. There are rejection and other immune system issues, similar to other transplant surgeries. On top of all that, there are psychological factors to consider. The patient is literally wearing another person's face. Even when that face replaces one severely disfigured by an injury or a tumor, it can be difficult to adjust.
The two successful transplants took place in 2006 and early 2007, according to British medical journal The Lancet. Doctors waited to judge the success of the surgeries so they would know if the transplants were rejected or if other problems developed. The patients, one a victim of a bear attack and the other a patient with severe facial tumors, report tremendous improvements in their quality of life. You can see a before and after photo of the man who was mauled by a bear above. An entire section of his face was replaced, including bone. So how far away are we from Nicolas Cage and John Travolta swapping identities the way they did in Face/Off? Probably 100 years. But as this medical technology improves, a whole slew of freaky sci-fi scenarios become possible. Witness relocation? The ultimate secret agent? A black market auction for the face of a dead movie star? Or, like me, we'll all just have that old Payolas song stuck in our heads. Images by: The Lancet via BBC. Face transplant 'double success'.

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics Announces $58 Million CF Drug Discovery Agreement with Pfizer
BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 19, 2012 -- /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics Inc. (CFFT), the nonprofit drug discovery and development affiliate of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, today announced a major expansion of its research collaboration with Pfizer Inc. designed to discover new drugs to treat people with the most common mutation of CF, Delta F508.
Under the new six-year pre-clinical research program with Pfizer, CFFT will invest up to $58 million to speed the discovery and development of potential therapies that target the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis. The program's goal is to advance one or more drug candidates into the clinic by the end of the multiyear collaboration.
"We are excited to expand our efforts with Pfizer to accelerate the development of more therapies that treat the root cause of CF and benefit the greatest number of people with the disease," said Robert J. Beall, Ph.D., president and CEO of the CF Foundation. "Pfizer brings impressive technical and scientific expertise, along with its commitment to improving the lives of people with cystic fibrosis."
In people with the Delta F508 mutation, a defective protein called CFTR does not fold correctly and is unable to reach the cell surface, where it is needed to help maintain the proper flow of salt and fluids into the airways. As a result, thick secretions form in the airways, leading to serious lung infections and lung damage. Nearly 90 percent of people with CF have at least one copy of the Delta F508 mutation.
The collaboration will focus on identifying therapies that help restore normal function of the defective protein. Pfizer researchers will draw on their leading expertise in developing therapies that help mutated proteins fold and route correctly within the cell.
"Innovative collaborations between industry and patient organizations are increasingly critical in expediting the translation of science into new treatments," said Jose-Carlos Gutierrez-Ramos, senior vice president of Pfizer BioTherapeutics R&D. "We look forward to continued collaboration with the CF Foundation and to applying our leading science with the goal of identifying novel therapies for the treatment of this devastating disease."
This new agreement builds on CFFT's existing collaboration with Pfizer, which began in 2010 when Pfizer acquired the biotech company FoldRx Pharmaceuticals Inc., as part of the company's expanded effort to discover and develop innovative medicines for rare diseases. The acquisition included FoldRx's CF research program in collaboration with CFFT which started in 2007. Pfizer takes a collaborative approach to rare disease development and is partnering extensively with stakeholders throughout the community to significantly improve the lives of patients.
About the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world's leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis. The Foundation funds more CF research than any other organization, and nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of Foundation support. Based in Bethesda, Md., the Foundation also supports and accredits a national care center network that has been recognized by the National Institutes of Health as a model of care for a chronic disease. The CF Foundation is a donor-supported nonprofit organization. For more information, go to www.cff.org.

Day's Best: Tracking down the governor's dog
Talk about dogged reporting.
During his 2010 campaign for Florida governor, Rick Scott adopted a rescue dog with much fanfare and praise. The GOP nominee named the pooch "Reagan."
So much better than opting for a purebred, like President Obama did when his family got Bo, a Portuguese water dog, said one supporter.
However, after such a high profile adoption, Scott's dog Reagan slipped into obscurity. In fact, no one would say anything about the animal.
Reporters at the Tampa Bay Times got curious and went after the story. After much prodding, the governor's staff finally admitted to having to get rid of the animal about a month after arriving in the state capital because the dog barked at everyone.
Mystery solved.

Looking for a quality surveillance system? Many modern surveillance systems are PC-based- that is, instead of a complex system of cameras and monitors, they use a digital camera and your computer to capture and view images.
The advantage of a PC- based surveillance system is that not only can you do a lot more with the footage you record, but you can do it all from one spot-and if you've got a wireless or IP camera, that spot can be just about anywhere. In order to do this, of course, you need the proper software. The software provides you with the programs you need to capture and record images, upload video files to the internet, enable motion detection, and much more.
How Do Home Surveillance Systems Work?
Before you start taking videos, you have to set up the camera to work with your computer. Once you've installed the software, you can set various properties of the security system, such as the camera's pan/tilt/zoom functions, motion detector sensitivity, audio, and more advanced features like alarms and scheduled monitoring. You can also get software that works with multiple cameras and integrate them all into the system, so you can watch more than one location at a time.
If you want to watch a live video feed from a remote location, you should also install remote-monitoring software. This enables you to stream the video footage via the internet. Just hook up to the web anywhere in the world, and you can watch whatever's going on in your living room or office or wherever else you choose to put the camera.
After the camera captures the video and sends it to the computer, your surveillance software also takes care of recording the material for later playback, uploading it to the internet, sending alerts, and analyzing details in the recorded footage. In short, the software brings the whole system together and gives you the tools to identify and catch an intruder in the act.
Surveillance System Software Features
Along with compressed video files that take up less storage space and high-resolution digital pictures, computerized surveillance allows for some pretty advanced security features. Here are a few you might want to look for in your software:
■Motion sensors with color trackers. This type of motion detector not only starts recording when it senses movement, but also follows certain colors around the room-human skin tone, for instance, or the color of your valuables.
■Audio deterrents. You can program the system to distract an intruder by playing an audio file when it senses movement in the area-a barking dog, a ringing phone, a slamming door, an ordinary alarm, or anything else that suits your fancy. You can also get the computer to automatically activate other programs when something moves-anything from a facial identification program to a game of solitaire. The sky's the limit.
■Broadcasting capabilities and alerts. If you prefer to keep your guest unaware of being watched, you can program the computer to broadcast the footage when it senses movement. You can also have the computer alert you-or the police-via phone, fax, or email. Then, if you have remote-monitoring software, you can log in on the nearest computer and see exactly what the problem is.
These are only some of the features you can find in surveillance system software; different companies offer different software features. Assess your security needs, decide what you want, and shop around. When it comes to ensuring that your home is safe, a solid digital surveillance system with the right software can make all the difference.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have charged three leaders of the Peruvian-based Shining Path terrorist group with providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, narco-terrorism and weapons violations, NBC 4 New York has learned.
The four-count indictment describes Shining Path as an international terrorist group committed to the violent overthrow of the government of Peru.
U.S. & World
Prosecutors say the three men provided Shining Path with weapons, narcotics proceeds, personnel and other resources.
One of the men has been in Peruvian custody since 2012. The other two are fugitives, law enforcement sources say.
Court papers say Shining Path is an outgrowth of the Peruvian Communist Party that became a guerrilla army engaged in bombings, massacres and other acts of violence within Peru in 1980. The group funds its terrorist activities partly with the proceeds from the cocaine trade.
The U.S. Department of State designated Shining Path as a foreign terrorist organization in 1997.

Florence, Italy - After adjusting to the Italian culture in a peaceful getaway like Lake Como, the Rams quickly moved their tour into the busy streets of Florence.
Florence is the most populated city in the Tuscany region with nearly 1.5 million people in the metro area. Nestled into the crowded streets are historic art galleries, including Accademia dell'Arte del Disegno, which houses the world-renown sculpture, Michelangelo's David.
In addition to the art and sculptures, the group was captivated by the Florence Cathedral, the Santa Maria del Fiore, which is the fourth largest church in Europe.
At one point during the stay in Florence, Associate Head Coach Mike Rhoades commented, "It's almost like it's a painting. Every time I see it, I have to remind myself it's actually real. It's unbelievable."
During our time in Florence, we used one morning to make the short drive (about an hour) to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. There's a big duomo (cathedral) right next to the Leaning Tower to make what is known as "Miracle Square."
The entire group marched up the stairs of the Leaning Tower and started snapping pictures left and right.
"I was a little nervous going up at first because you can really feel it leaning when you're walking up the stairs, but when we got up to the top, the view was worth it," rising senior Troy Daniels said. "We're really blessed to be able to have an opportunity to see sights like this, it's a once-in-a-life time chance."
In addition to all the sight-seeing and shopping in Florence, the Rams played two games, picking up victories both times out.
For more on the games in Florence, check out these write-ups:

Italy Game 3 Recap from Florence
Now it's on to Rome to wrap up this amazing 10-day journey.
August 11, 2012
FLORENCE, Italy - We'll have a full blog update about the Rams time in Florence for you when you check back on Monday morning, but we had to share a quick story with all of Ram Nation.
I was out for a run along the river here in Florence and as I passed through a park, there was an older couple sitting by a little food stand that are common sights over here in Italy. I had on one of my VCU Basketball shirts and as I was running by the couple seemed to stare a little more than usual, which I thought was odd, but shrugged it off thinking it was no big deal.
On my way back, the same couple was still there and when I ran by this time, they broke out the "You don't want to go to war with the Rams" chorus, which made me stop dead in my tracks. I walked over, introduced myself and turns out they were from Dayton, Ohio and come to visit Italy every four or five years because the wife's (Lynne) grandfather was from Italy. They had seen the Rams play in the 2011 NCAA Tournament in Dayton and fell in love with our players and program. They've been following us every since and asked about Brad, Joey, Jamie, Brandon, Ed and a few guys on this year's team.
They said they were going to try and come to a game at the Siegel Center this year, which I said was a must have experience for any Ram fan. So Steve and Lynne, great meeting you, we look forward to seeing you in Richmond.
Just another example of the power of Ram Nation.

COMO, Italy – Being seven-feet tall doesn't make flying the easiest, especially when the flight is over nine hours. But even a little bit of discomfort wasn't going to lessen the excitement of the first day of a 10-day tour of Italy for rising junior D.J. Haley and the VCU men's basketball team.
"It's not easy, but it's just a matter of rearranging and finding what is most comfortable," Haley said. "We were lucky to have some empty seats on our flight over so I was able to move around and find the best seat for me."
Haley and his teammates piled on the bus in the Siegel Center parking lot on Sunday morning, hopped on a short flight to Atlanta and 10 hours later they were on the streets of Milan, Italy.
After meeting up with the tour guides from the Basketball Travelers organization, Mark and Jennifer, along with our Italian tour guide, Virginia. The group of nearly 30 took over the city center of Milan for a walking tour of the second most popular city in Italy.
With a game set for Tuesday, it was critical to keep everyone awake and adjust as best as possible to the six-hour time difference from back in Richmond.
The tour began with a walk through the Castello Stforzesco (a castle in Milan), which was going through a bit of a restoration process, but the moats, towers and huge castle walls from the 1400s were quite a sight for the group.
As one of the most popular fashion destinations in the world, the streets of Milan were filled with high-end stores nestled into historic buildings.
The most astounding sight for many was in the City Square where we visited the third largest church in all of Europe, Catedral de Milan. Over 11,000 square meters in size, the Cathderal is constructed entirely of marble with construction beginning in 1308.
"It was amazing to see the detail and time that they spent building it," Haley said. "To think about them building it without the modern technology that we have today makes it even more astounding."
Lake Como
Our first full day in Italy began with an unbelievable private boat tour around the very scenic Lake Como, which is located right across the street from our hotel.
With our Italian guide, Virginia, pointing out sights along the way, the group traveled a little over an hour across the 1,700 square mile body of water to the little town of Bellagio.
Some of the sights along the way included the private homes of Richard Branson (owner of Virgin Records) and George Clooney, along with a villa that was included in the scenes of movies such as Star Wars and Casino Royale.
Rising junior Rob Brandenberg couldn't believe some of sights that the boat tour provided.
"It's crazy to see all these unbelievable sights as a group," Brandenberg said. "We're really blessed and appreciative of the opportunities to do the things that we've been able to."
A quick walk through the town of Bellagio provided plenty of opportunities to buy some authentic Italian garments, pizza and gelato.
"The food has been outstanding," Brandenberg added. "The pizza over here is ridiculous, so much different and better than home."
After the boat tour, the Rams headed back to the hotel for some relaxation time before their first of four games in Italy.

Hello, I have a question.
A few days ago I was out with my kite for the very 1st time. I have 2010 Royal Era 8m- 4 lines.
After pumping up the kite and connecting the lines my buddy put the kite into stable position on the edge of wind window while I attached bar to my harness.
The problem was that center lines were both tight but side lines were hanging, not tight. I didn't even try to pull in my bar because I always thought you should launch it with bar completely out for minimum power. Because I knew I had no control over the kite I didn't launch it. We just put everything back in the bag and went home.
The next day I unfolded my bar and lines and noticed that I had my trim (pull pull sheeting system) completely out- full power. But it is located on center lines so I don't know if that should affect anything.
My questions are:
-should I pull in my bar while launching?
-what position should my trim be in- completely powered is probably not good?
-was the kite perhaps not enough into wind window?
Next time I will have somebody more acquired with kiting by me.
Thank you and have a good day!

VESTAL, N.Y. – UMBC junior Eric Schuler (Columbia, Md./Reservoir) took top individual honors with sophomore Redatu Semeon (Waldorf, Md./Thomas Stone) close behind in second as the UMBC men's cross country team won the America East Pre-Conference Meet, Saturday at Binghamton University.
Sophomore Nicole Dawson (Jessup, Md./Hammond) led the way for the women's squad which finished third overall behind Albany and Vermont.
The Retriever men scored just 31 points on the 8k course as Schuler (25:33.1), Semeon (25:38.1), and sophomore Hassan Omar (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) (25:40.2) all earned top-five finishes. Meet host Binghamton placed second with 37 points, with Vermont in third (89 pts.). Albany (104) and league newcomer UMass Lowell (105) completed the men's standings.
Schuler's win is the first of his career and marks the second time he has paced the squad after leading the way at the Mason Invitational last season. Each of the Retrievers' five scoring runners finished in the top-15 as seniors Jake Albino (Hampton, N.Y./Minisink Valley) and Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) placed 11th (26:03.3) and 13th (26:06.0), respectively.
In addition, non-scorers junior James Beacham (Westminster, Md./Westminster) and freshman Patrick Duboyce (New Market, Md./Linganore) also finished within the top-20 racers, taking 14th (26:07.3) and 15th (26:11.6).
In the women's race, a 5k event, Albany's Brittney Lane won the race in a time of 18:13.4 as the Great Danes (28 pts.) edged Vermont (31 pts.). UMBC scored a total of 82 pts. with Binghamton (114) and UMass Lowell (120) rounding out the standings.
For the Retrievers, Dawson's run (19:15.5) gives the sophomore her first lead-run after scoring in each of the Retrievers' seven competitions a year ago. Freshman Sarah Zielinski (Boonsboro, Md./Boonsboro) earned a scoring spot in her first collegiate meet, taking 13th overall in a time of 19:16.8. Senior captain Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South River) placed 15th (19:25.3) with freshman Cindy Alms (Fulton, Md./Reservoir) and junior Sarah Daly (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion) finishing the scoring in 20th (19:42.7) and 23rd place (19:50.6).
Sophomore Angel Bucci (Upper Darby, Pa./Upper Darby) and junior Julie Gessler (Ellicott City, Md./Institute of Notre Dame) did not score for the Black and Gold, but finished in the top-30.
UMBC now has just a week off before traveling to Annapolis for the Navy Invitational/Salty Dog Invitational next Saturday, Sept. 14.
Schuler's time is the second-fastest on the men's 8k course during Binghamton's 13-year Division I era. Donald Drake of Maine set the Division I era course record of 25:29 in 2005.

A few weeks ago, Jon Huntsman torpedoed his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination by making the following announcement: "To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy."
It's a pathetic commentary on the anti-intellectualism rampant in American politics that this is newsworthy. A major-party candidate announces that he doesn't deny a foundational theory of modern science! In fact, given the political atmosphere in the Republican party, it's not just newsworthy but a daring act: polls have shown that almost 70 percent of Republicans deny evolution.
Huntsman is clearly trying to position himself as the moderate candidate. But while that strategy might play well in the general election, it won't do him any good unless he can get the Republican nomination. And to win that nomination, he has to get past a huge obstacle: a solid bloc of Republican primary voters who are emphatically anti-science. This isn't an exaggeration for polemical effect; it's the plain truth. The modern Republican party has made a fervent rejection of scientific consensus its defining attribute — both on evolution and climate change, as well as in other fields — and Huntsman's refusal to submit to party orthodoxy is likely a fatal blow to his chances.
But opposition to climate change is something new in the Republican platform. As recently as a few years ago, both Mitt Romney and John McCain supported cap-and-trade laws, and Newt Gingrich appeared in pro-environment ads with Nancy Pelosi. The party's rejection of climate science is fairly new, and probably comes from its increasing dependence on campaign cash from dirty-energy barons like the Koch brothers.
By contrast, the Republican party's denial of evolution is much older and more grassroots in nature, dating at least to when the national parties traded places during the civil-rights era. The conservative South, in addition to its other charming qualities, has a long history of passing laws hostile to science, from Tennessee's Butler Act, the 1925 law prohibiting the teaching of evolution that led to the Scopes trial, to Louisiana's 1981 Balanced Treatment Act, which decreed that "creation science" had to be given an equal share of classroom time.
But while fundamentalists have always been hostile to evolution, the modern creationist movement got its start in the 1960s, primarily due to the influence of an evangelical author named Henry Morris. Morris' 1964 book The Genesis Flood argued, among other things, that Noah's flood happened just as the Bible describes it — in other words, it was reasonable to believe that eight people could care for a floating zoo containing at least two members of every species on Earth.
Imagine trying to run the entire Bronx Zoo with just eight employees. Now consider that Noah's leaky tub, by even the most forgiving estimates, would have to have had far more kinds of animals (including dinosaurs, which creationists believe existed simultaneously with humans, a la the Flintstones). Imagine how much feeding, watering, and manure-carrying that would be. Imagine all this frenetic activity taking place in the cramped, dark, foul-smelling confines of a wooden boat, with predators and prey side-by-side in narrow pens, during the most violent and catastrophic storm in the history of the planet, with an absolute requirement that not a single animal get sick or die. Now try not to laugh too hard at the people who seriously believe all this really happened.
As already mentioned, the creationist movement's original strategy revolved around getting friendly state legislatures to decree that their ideas had to be taught in public schools, regardless of scientific merit or lack thereof. This strategy hasn't fared well in court: aside from a Pyrrhic victory in the Scopes trial, judges have repeatedly recognized this for the obvious violation of separation of church and state that it is. And each time they lost, the creationist movement responded the same way: like a snake shedding its skin, they rebranded themselves with a new name, then tried again with the same ideas. "Creation science" became "scientific creationism," which became "abrupt-appearance theory," and so on. The currently preferred nomenclature is "intelligent design" (which is totally constitutional and not at all religious, because we're not saying who we think the intelligent designer is — nudge nudge, wink wink!). But even this watered-down creationism met with defeat in Dover, Pennsylvania in 2005, when a judge appointed by George W. Bush handed down a resounding ruling that teaching intelligent design in public school is unconstitutional.
It remains to be seen how they'll rebrand themselves next, though we can be confident their basic strategy won't change. One of the most hilarious parts of the Dover case was evidence showing that, after a court ruling which made it illegal to teach creationism in public schools, the authors of a creationist textbook did a find-and-replace to change "creationism" to "intelligent design" and "creationists" to "design proponents." At one point, someone mistyped and left a transitional fossil in an early draft: a paragraph that referred to "cdesign proponentsists."
But while creationists keep bumbling on the legal front, they've had more success in the cultural arena, by infiltrating the public schools with creationist teachers who flout the law and preach their religious beliefs in class. There are some notable and egregious examples, such as David Paskiewicz, the New Jersey high school teacher who advocated creationism in class, in addition to telling a Muslim student she belonged in hell. There's also John Freshwater, a creationist science teacher who was fired for breaking school rules about proselytizing in the classroom. Among other things, he allegedly used a Tesla coil to burn a cross onto a student's arm!
And it's not just the teachers, either. Creationist churches are training students at all educational levels to refuse to learn about any science their religion rejects, as in this story:
The last question on the test Mr. Campbell passed out a week later asked students to explain two forms of evidence supporting evolutionary change and natural selection.
"I refuse to answer," Bryce wrote. "I don't believe in this."
Although there are different kinds of creationists, the most fervent and most influential are the so-called young-earth creationists, who believe the world and every species on it is about 6,000 years old. The young-earth creationists, or YECs for short, believe the universe was created in seven 24-hour days, that there was a literal Garden of Eden, a literal Adam and Eve, and a literal talking snake just as the Book of Genesis describes.
To anyone who has even the most passing acquaintance with real science, these myths are on the same level as believing in a literal wolf who blew down the houses of literal pigs. Anyone who knows anything about genetics can see the impossibility of a healthy species arising from a single breeding pair. A population starting from such a tiny gene pool just wouldn't have enough genetic diversity to adapt to environmental changes — not to mention the obvious problem of inbreeding depression, where sex between close relatives results in a far greater likelihood of the offspring inheriting the same rare and harmful mutations from both parents. (For fun, ask a creationist to explain about how they believe the prohibition on incest didn't apply in the beginning. After all, once Adam and Eve had sons and daughters, where was the next generation of human beings going to come from?)
Likewise, the geologic record shows that the Earth has an enormously long and intricate history. Preserved in the rock record, we see evidence of continents drifting and colliding, thrusting up mountain ranges that are then slowly worn down by erosion; glaciers advancing and retreating, carving and scouring the landscape; sedimentary rock layers slowly built up by eons of deposition, then cut into deep canyons by rivers or metamorphosed by heat and pressure; the same land becoming shallow sea, swamp, forest, plain, desert and back to sea again, as sea levels rise and fall over the ages. This grand tapestry stands in stark contrast to the creationists' cartoonish view of geology, in which Noah's flood was the only geological event of significance to happen in the planet's brief history. Geologists knew well before Charles Darwin that there was no evidence for a global flood, and modern scientists can add the evidence of radiometric dating, which shows the precise ages of ancient rocks and artifacts and proves that they're far older than the creationist worldview permits.
And then there's the direct evidence for evolution, in all its sprawling grandeur. We know evolution is true from genetic studies which show that all species share deep similarities at the genetic level. In fact, by charting which species' genomes share the same one-off mutations, we can build evolutionary trees which show the patterns of relationship between species and allow us to estimate when they branched from each other. This nested hierarchy, the pattern produced by descent with modification, binds all living and extinct species together in an unbreakable web of heredity and kinship, every bit as real as the one that connects you to your ancestors and your living relatives.
We know evolution is true from transitional fossils which preserve snapshots of evolutionary change, such as the bird-like feathered dinosaurs; the therapsids that are intermediate between reptiles and mammals; the primitive whales with legs that are ancestors of today's cetaceans; and in our own family lineage, the humanlike hominids that show how modern Homo sapiens arose from more ape-like ancestors. (Hilariously, the creationists all agree that there are no transitional fossils and that all fossil hominid species are either fully human or fully ape — but they can't agree on which is which, exactly as we'd expect from true intermediates.)
We know evolution is true from the kludges, hacks, and jury-rigs we find in the anatomy of living things, including us — evidence not of a wise and forward-looking designer, but of a slow, mindless, tinkering process of change, a "blind watchmaker" as Richard Dawkins famously termed it. From the useless goosebumps we get when cold or frightened, to the backward-wired human retina, to the babies occasionally born with vestigial tails, human bodies bear the indelible stamp of our species' history.
The creationists are forced to deny all this and much more besides. That's not a figure of speech: major creationist organizations and religious colleges require their faculty to sign statements promising to reject any evidence that contradicts their worldview. The official statement of faith of the group Answers in Genesis, for example, requires members to affirm that "No apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record." And when people affiliated with these groups do express doubt or flirt with unorthodoxy, retribution is invariably swift and harsh.
But as laughable as the creationists' beliefs are, the creationist movement is no joke. They want to wipe out all the findings of hundreds of years of scientific investigation, erase everything we've learned about the vast and majestic history of the universe, and replace it with a cartoon version that grotesquely magnifies our own importance, treating human beings as the crowning glory of creation and diminishing the immensity of the universe to a tiny stage crafted only so that the Bible's small stories could play out on it.
Why does this matter so much to them? It's not just an arcane scientific debate: in their minds, only Christianity can produce virtue, and Christianity can be true only if evolution is false. It follows that they believe – and they've said that they believe — that evolution underlies every moral problem they see in the world, from drug use to pornography to people voting Democratic. Tom DeLay infamously blamed the Columbine school shootings on the teaching of evolution, stating that "our school systems teach the children that they are nothing but glorified apes who are evolutionized out of some primordial soup."
The larger lesson to be drawn from this is that the religious right isn't just targeting the theory of evolution. By their own words, they can't be. They believe that a person's morality is completely determined by their factual beliefs — that being a good person depends on believing the right things about the origin of the universe. And since they believe that all truths worth knowing have already been revealed in the Bible, it follows that science is at best unnecessary and at worst a fatal deception that leads people away from salvation. Why, then, do we need science at all?
To those who hold the creationist worldview, everything has been going downhill since the Enlightenment. The willingness of people to think for themselves, to question authority, to investigate the world for truth – they see all this as a disastrous trend, one that only takes us farther from their ideal vision of a medieval, theocratic state. They seek nothing less than to turn back the clock of progress by several centuries, abolish the rational, reality-based view of the world, and return to the superstitious mindset in which blind faith is the answer to every problem. And, again, these are the people who've completely captured one of America's two major parties. What kind of havoc will result if they gain political power again?

A pet pig is being credited with saving its owners' lives during an early-morning fire Sunday in Mount Carmel, Illinois.
The family pig, named Lucky, jumped into action just after the fire broke out in a mobile home at about 4:40 a.m., NBC affiliate WFIE-TV reported.
"He started screaming," homeowner Ina Farler said. "He would jump down, run to the door and then jump back up on the bed and hit me really hard. I sat up to see what was wrong with him, because he usually doesn't do that through the night. When I sat up, I realized the room was really smoky."
Farler said the heat from the fire was so intense that she knew she had to get out immediately. She was able to grab her two grandchildren with the help of a neighbor.
The family is staying in a hotel while they figure out what they're going to do next, but they're feeling lucky that their pet pig was there for them.
"They're loving. They can be very protective, actually," Farler said of pet pigs. "He loves my grandkids to death."

Review: New hardware delivers on promise
"Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything," Jobs said back then. Featuring a new input technology at the time called "capacitive multitouch" and a single physical button for OS navigation, the phone was destined to start a paradigm shift in the smartphone computing space. But little did the rest of the market know how astonishingly successful the platform would be with mainstream consumers, business professionals and Apple fans all across the globe.
In the first 186 days since release, the original iPhone sold a grand total of 3,704,000 units in the United States by December 30, 2007, averaging to roughly 12,163 iPhones per day. Jobs made it clear during his MacWorld 2008 keynote that his revolutionary device topped smartphone sales by Palm, Nokia and Motorola combined, right out of the gate. For a device that garnered over 20 percent of all US smartphone sales after being on the market for less than a year, it was certainly doing well for itself.
Three years have come and gone since Apple first entered the smartphone business, and with each successive launch of a new iPhone iteration it has seen even higher revenue margins backed by an ever-growing user base. Where its first-generation model released in June 2007 and was available in six different countries respectively, the iPhone 3G released in June 2008 and was available to 70 different countries. As the device made a global impact and spread as a catalyst for the booming smartphone market at the time, Apple's revenues continued to soar sky high throughout the end of the previous decade, even in the midst of the worst economic depression the world has seen in ages.
Apple has certainly not received a consistent red carpet of success from the iPhone's original debut, however. Since the device was first released to market over three years ago, a lot has changed at the secretive company's headquarters behind closed doors. In January 2009, Steve Jobs took a leave of absence due to health reasons that were "more complex" than he had first thought. In addition, some of the company's key people, including many from PR to engineering staff and ex-hardware chief, left to join forces with Palm for a chance to develop a brand new smartphone platform – but of course, Apple has since hired Rich Dellinger, Palm's lead engineer and visual designer to take lead as senior designer of user interface technologies.
Let's not forget the companies who laid the groundwork to bring mobile "app stores" and applications to cell phones in the first place. Back in 2001, Qualcomm created the BREW Mobile Platform, an open solution for wireless applications development. It encouraged independent developers to write apps for mobile devices, and created a commerce engine for wireless carriers to sell apps to customers with a payment model catered in favor of developers. But it simply wasn't strong enough to compete with Apple when the iPhone 3G roared into the market in 2008 with a native App Store, leaving every other smartphone manufacturer in the dust. In a nutshell, the consumer electronics industry and software vendors are now more attuned than ever to the idea of having a centralized store for purchasing applications. Even Microsoft has plans to bring its own app store to the Windows desktop environment with Windows 8, and only time will tell if Apple decides to counteract with an extension of its mobile App Store for the Mac platform.
Apple's announcement of passing the 500 million mark on January 16, 2009
By the time Apple had released the iPhone 3GS on June 19, 2009, the App Store was boasting over 50,000 available applications to choose from. To size up the competition, Android held a mere 4,900, Nokia held 1,088, RIM held 1,030 and Palm held 18 respectively (According to Apple.) Even its mobile Safari browser was boasting 65 percent of all worldwide smartphone users in June 2009 and continues to hold the dominant market position through summer 2010.
Apple's mobile platform and curated App Store have certainly held a successful journey thus far, but whether they can continue to expand with a fourth iPhone revision for another year remains to be seen. Nevertheless, we plan to dive into what merges the hardware and software details of the company's latest smartphone iteration into a competitive smartphone to determine whether Apple stands a chance against its contenders.

What once was "Hybrid" is now "Blended"
The Spring Semester 2014 Class Schedule uses the term "Blended" courses to replace the term "Hybrid." The term Hybrid will no longer be used to describe this type of course.
You will also notice that by clicking on courses identified as blended courses, you will see a description of how a blended course is taught.
The general definition of a blended course is an online course with required real-time, face-to-face sessions. Blended course instruction is split between learning activities online and in a specified location, based on course content. To participate in the online portion of a blended course, a student must have basic computer knowledge along with access to a computer and the Internet.
Students may use a computer at home, at a campus lab, a library, or elsewhere. The face-to-face meetings are held at dates and times specific to each blended course. These sessions may be held in a campus classroom, lab or at an external location, such as a clinical site for health-related classes.

When is a Carrera not a Porsche? When it's this VW Caddy Van Carrera Cup Edition, a special model evidently designed to be either a support vehicle for Porsche gentlemen racers, or a wanna-be racer for European handymen. We're not exactly sure if this has anything to do with Porsche and VW's on-again, off-again relationship, but the Caddy panel van has been decked out just like a 911 GT3 RS. Though you can only buy it in the land of meatballs, gummy fish and strangely hypnotic chefs — Sweden. So what goods does this track day van pack under the hood?
Powering the V-Dub Carrera van is the 140 HP 2.0-liter turbo-diesel. That's good for 0-to-60 in 10.6 seconds. We're not sure if that makes it technically the first diesel Porsche or not. Probably there's rules on that like you have to have an actual Porsche badge on the vehicle and it had to have been built by the German automaker that now pretty much owns this one. Whatever. Those are like technicalities. Either way, we'd be more than happy to run errands with this thing. [Bil.feber via CarScoop]

Moroccan rugs are rooted in the traditional rural and natural culture of the Berber women. The rugs are handcrafted, made from the wool of their own herd. The wool is dyed with plants or minerals found in the areas where the carpets are woven as pomegranate, henna, indigo blue, and root of a walnut tree.
There are a great variety of rural rugs depending on the tribes that weave them. Each rug is unique and an authentic piece of folk art. You see a primitive abstraction that is completely original to the weaver of the rug.
The beauty of the rug compliments in a modern, a classic ore a country style environment.
