ICYMI: Democrats win back House, GOP keeps Senate — and other top takeaways
Thank you so much for tuning in to our election night live blog. We saw a lot happen, but we are still waiting on results in a number of races.
Here are some of the top takeaways:
- NBC projects that the Democrats have won a majority in the House of Representatives. Republicans will remain in control of the Senate, and grew their majority by several seats.
- Powered by a suburban revolt against Trump, Democrats reclaimed a majority in the House, and scored a string of upsets in doing so. By 6:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, the party had picked up 28 seats in the House, more than the 23 needed to take the majority, with many West Coast results still outstanding. Fourteen seats remained uncalled.
- Republicans successfully defended Senate seats in Texas and Tennessee, while also picking up seats in Indiana, Missouri and North Dakota. After an overnight nailbiter, Democratic Sen. Jon Tester won re-election in Montana, NBC News projected Wednesday.
- In gubernatorial races, Democrats made some key gains even as Andrew Gillum in Florida was defeated and Stacey Abrams in Georgia was trailing. Democrats won in Wisconsin — defeating Trump ally and former Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker — as well as Illinois, Minnesota, Colorado and Nevada.
- There were many historic firsts.
- A record number of women were elected to the House of Representatives. As of early Wednesday, at least 95 women had won seats, breaking the current session's record of 84 women.
But by 2:04 p.m. ET Wednesday, there were still several races without outcomes because they remained "too close to call." They include:
In the Alaska gubernatorial race, which was considered "too early to call" in the early hours of the morning Wednesday, Republican Mike Dunleavy is the apparent winner, NBC News projects. In the Connecticut gubernatorial race, which was considered "too close to call" overnight, Democrat Ned Lamont is the apparent winner, NBC News projects.
Thanks again for joining us, and don't forget check back with NBCNews.com for updated coverage.

Green coffee bean extract has become a common name in weight loss industry. Though the research on green coffee beans has not been so extensive, but the results indicated desired performance. Although, there were very few who did not saw any weight change, but there has been weight change in many who tried it.
Pure green coffee bean extract has climbed in demand multiple folds after intense media coverage followed by growth on number of websites offering green coffee bean supplements. The heavy influx of its demand has mainly brought out the green coffee bean benefits among common people. The benefits of pure green coffee bean extract is because of higher level of chlorogenic acid. The natural chlorogenic acid is what makes the green coffee beans effective in dealing with weight loss problems. During roasting or modifying green coffee beans, this chlorogenic acid decreases and hence it becomes of little to no use.
Green coffee beans are effective in dealing with weight loss problems. However, owing to over exposure of green coffee diet, there are several websites which have popped up as intermediaries and even some scam suppliers. Many websites just collect the user data and supply it to another linked source, hence such websites come and go overnight. Also being one of the flourishing profit making industry, there is also infiltration of poor quality green coffee bean suppliers.
To avoid any such problems, it is advised to buy purest green coffee from quality and established suppliers. To get a trial offer on dr oz green coffee for weight loss, you won't miss this link.

Guard Ratchets Up Efforts in Midwestern Flooding
By Army Staff Sgt. Jim Greenhill
Special to American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 23, 2008 - Missouri is the latest Midwestern state to see increasing numbers of National Guard citizen-soldiers and airmen on duty in the face of the region's worst flooding in 15 years.
"Our priority is to protect the lives of Missouri's residents and their property," Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt said during a visit to flood-affected areas with National Guard officials. "Then we will focus on recovery efforts."
"As Missourians continue to face the rising waters of the Mississippi, their Missouri National Guard stands beside them in the fight," Army Maj. Gen. King Sidwell, the state's adjutant general, said.
More than 5,700 National Guard members were responding to flooding in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin on June 19, a peak since the Guard started deploying troops in the face of rising waters on June 7.
A response that began in Indiana spread with the water to Wisconsin on June 9, Iowa the next day, and Illinois and Missouri on June 14. Indiana operations wound down on June 18 after 11 days.
But the threat was far from winding down, as sandbagging continues in towns along the Mississippi River in the face of cresting waters.
Residents in towns already flooded faced weeks of cleanup and mounds of trash to dispose of. Twenty-four people have died and 148 have been injured during June's storms and flooding, the Associated Press reported. Damages are estimated in the billions of dollars.
Fourteen Missouri counties were affected, National Guard Bureau officials reported.
Guard officials were monitoring both the Mississippi and Missouri rivers as more than 700 troops responded, focusing on Clarksville and Wentzville. Water had crested or breached levees, and more were threatened.
"We have troops doing work on the ground from Alexandria to Winfield," said Army Capt. Tammy Spicer, a Missouri Guard spokeswoman. Alexandria is in the north. Winfield is just north of St. Louis.
The Guard was monitoring the situation the length of the Mississippi in Missouri, she said. The Missouri Guard has established a Northeast Task Force overseeing seven units supporting communities facing rising water, officials reported this week.
Army Lt. Col. William McKinney, the task force commander, said the Guard is working hard to protect the local population and has deployed every necessary resource available.
Missouri National Guard members are mobilized in the communities of Hannibal, the boyhood home of famed American writer Mark Twain, and Clarksville, Canton, West Quincy, LaGrange and Alexandria, assisting with sandbagging operations, levee monitoring, and limited security operations.
To combat future flooding threats, the Guard has established a quick-reaction force in Louisiana, Mo. The Guard also has posted liaison officers to work with state and local officials in Clark, Lewis, Marion, Ralls, Pike and Lincoln counties.
Among the units deployed is 1438th Engineer Company from Macon. Several members from that unit were deployed to the area after returning from a two-week annual training exercise in South Dakota.
Army Spc. John Crawford of St. Louis said that though the flooding has kept him from returning to work, his employers know the importance of his mission.
"It is a great thing the Guard is doing up here," Crawford said. "I have been helping fill and transport sandbags to the levees."
The Guard was sandbagging, monitoring levees and securing evacuated areas and providing command and control, communications and tactical operations support to civilian authorities. The latest operations were similar to Guard actions throughout the Midwest this month:
-- Illinois: More than 1,100 Guard members assisted with communications and sandbagging.
-- Indiana: Operation Noah's Ark concluded June 19. The height of the mission saw more than 1,400 Guard members on duty sandbagging, providing security, conducting search and rescue missions, and distributing water.
-- Iowa: More than 4,200 Guard members remained on duty as the state faced a public health emergency caused by lost water supplies. Massive flooding rendered 83 of the state's 99 counties under state disaster declarations. Guard members focused on preventing more flooding; providing drinking water, generators, security and transportation; conducting aerial damage assessment; and other operations.
-- Wisconsin: About 230 Guard members provided communications, generators, security and transport. The Guard also assisted with conducting aerial damage assessments, filling and grading washed-out roads, and removing debris, National Guard Bureau officials reported.
Meanwhile, Guard members were on duty assisting Border Patrol agents in four Southwestern border states, tackling wildfires, ferrying drinking water to residents of several New Mexico towns, supporting Louisiana police, providing critical infrastructure protection in Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, flying critical air sovereignty missions nationwide, and running counterdrug operations.
National Guard members also are on duty on a variety of missions in many foreign countries, including combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
(Army Staff Sgt. Jim Greenhill serves with the National Guard Bureau. Robert Seyller of the Missouri National Guard Public Affairs Office contributed to this report.)

September 7, 2013, FRISCO, TEXAS – They came within minutes of walking away with at least a point, but Vancouver Whitecaps FC (10W-10L-7D) couldn't withstand a late FC Dallas (10W-7L-10D) onslaught as they suffered a heartbreaking 3-1 defeat Saturday in Frisco, Texas.
Midfielder Daigo Kobayashi opened the scoring in the fourth minute but FC Dallas scored three unanswered goals – two in the dying stages of the match – to secure the victory.
With the loss, Whitecaps FC drop to seventh place in the Western Conference – three points shy of fourth-place Dallas.
With Russell Teibert away on international duty, Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie made three changes to his starting lineup after last weekend's 2-2 draw with Chivas USA.
Back from suspension, midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker replaced Young-Pyo Lee at right back, Kobayashi took the place of Kekuta Manneh at right wing, and defender Carlyle Mitchell slotted in at centre back, moving Johnny Leveron into the holding midfielder position alongside Gershon Koffie for the first time this season.
Although he did not figure in the action, Jay DeMerit also made a return to Vancouver's 18-man squad on Saturday. It was DeMerit's first selection since suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon in Vancouver's March 2 season opener.
Saturday's contest got off to a frantic start in Frisco, as both sides pressed in search of the all-important opening goal. Dallas had the first chance less than a minute into the match, but it was Vancouver who struck first just a few minutes later.
Possession was hard to come by for Whitecaps FC in the first half, but their new-look attacking trio had no trouble keeping the ball in the build-up to Kobayashi's fourth-minute tally.
After receiving a pass from Kobayashi in midfield, Camilo found fellow striker Kenny Miller open down the right wing. The Scotsman then sent a perfect low cross into the box and Kobayashi finished first time with a nifty side-footed effort to give the visiting 'Caps an early advantage. It was the Japanese midfielder's first MLS goal since Vancouver's second match of the season.
It was a dream start for Whitecaps FC, who had never scored a road goal at Dallas coming into the match, but their lead didn't last long.
Things took a turn in the eighth minute when Dallas equalized through a blistering strike from Jamaican midfielder Je-Vaughn Watson. Watson's equalizer seemed to inspire the Texas outfit, who enjoyed several extended spells of possession throughout the next 35 minutes.
With strikers Blas Perez and Kenny Cooper out of the lineup, it was Fabian Castillo and David Ferreira creating most of the offence for FC Dallas. The two nearly combined in the 35th minute when Castillo found Ferreira inside Vancouver's area, but the Colombian flicked the ball just wide of the target.
Ferreira had another opportunity in the 41st minute, but Andy O'Brien's sliding clearance saved the day before the halftime whistle sounded with the score 1-1.
The 'Caps came out of the interval looking more settled. Dallas continued to enjoy most of the possession, but for the most part Vancouver managed to keep them from away dangerous areas.
In fact, Kobayashi had the first real chance of the second half in the 49th minute. After receiving the ball out wide, the lively Japanese midfielder tiptoed around two defenders before going for goal from the top of the box. Nothing came of it, however, as Dallas 'keeper Chris Seitz smothered the ball to keep things level.
Dallas didn't have much of a sniff at goal until the 57th minute, and it was the usual suspects involved in the action. First, Castillo found himself in a one-on-one situation with O'Brien inside the box, but the dependable 'Caps centre back did well to block the Colombian's effort. The ensuing rebound fell to Ferreira, and this time it was Leveron who cleared the ball from danger.
Looking to break the deadlock, Rennie made two tactical substitutions after the hour-mark. First, Lee entered the match for Kobayashi, and then Erik Hurtado replaced Matt Watson.
Hurtado made a few promising runs, but couldn't break through. The single goal the 'Caps had on the board was not enough in the end, as Dallas scored the eventual winner in the 87th minute through a superb volley from substitute Mauro Diaz.
Fellow substitute Jair Benitez delivered the dagger in the 89th minute with a wonder-strike from just inside the halfway line to secure the important victory for FC Dallas.
While the result sees the 'Caps remain out of a playoff position, they're certainly far from out of it. They have seven matches remaining in the regular season, starting next Saturday, September 14, at San Jose Earthquakes.
They conclude their road trip the following week at Montreal before hosting first-place Real Salt Lake on Saturday, September 28 at BC Place.

The Tradition of Military Challenge Coins

- Categories: Military Challenge Coins
The Tradition of Military Challenge Coins
Challenge coins are coins or medallions that carry a specific organization's emblem. These coins are carried by an organization's members to prove their membership and also boost their morale. In practice, these medallions are collected and kept by the organization's members. Some keep it as personal souvenirs and display them at their home or office. These medallions are usually presented to the organization's members to acknowledge a special accomplishment of a member or the whole group, in some instances. There are also situations wherein these medallions are given to visiting dignitaries or some other celebrities.
These coins come in various designs and finishes. These can range from the simple tin and lead-alloy to a magnificent 24 carat gold medallion. Although there are limited choices when it comes to base metals, the finish can have a wide range of selection such as copper, silver, brass, nickel and gold. One can also have the coins look antiquated or trendy depending on the choice of insignia and blend of colors. The challenge coins are usually a masterpiece of art that bring pride to the bearer.
These challenge coins or military medallions used to be exclusive just for the military servicemen during World War I and II, if the stories of their origins are to be believed. Several stories have been told and retold about the coin having been the instrument for saving its bearer's life or for helping soldiers verify who are their allies and enemies. In recent times however, other non-military organizations such as public servants, bureau of fire protection and even business groups have started to adopt the military challenge coin practice.
Producing and designing these coins is relatively cheap. It depends on the design and type of casting. If you want a top-quality product, die struck bronze should be your choice. Although much expensive than zinc alloy casting, using bronze yields a far more excellent quality. Complex designs and a gold finish would definitely command a higher cost but depending on the craftsmanship of your chosen manufacturer, it will all be worth the cost and effort.
Considering that military challenge coins have an illustrious history which dates back to the Roman Empire, recipients and holders of these medallions put great value to it. Members of all the branches of the armed services of the United States definitely take great pride in owning up to each of their unit or group's particular coin. It is not only a symbol of their achievement but it is one thing that signifies their link to their colleagues.
Civilian and other public servants' groups who are adopting this coin-emblem practice also place great importance to it as keepsake and physical symbol of their membership to a particular organization. Instead of body tattoos that connote a negative image, these coins provide some fun ways of interacting with colleagues or members of other organizations. If your organization did not yet obtain its own coin and you do not know how to produce one, you can turn to trusted makers who have already proven their mete in the field for several years now. You can suggest your own preference and let these people enhance it or you can leave everything to them and just wait for the outcome.
They already have pre-designed emblems and colors from which you can choose or modify in accordance to your needs and preference. Better still, you can ask them to create something unique for you that would suit the particular organization you belong or the specific occasion your group is commemorating. Come up with the design that would make you, its bearer, proud. They are easy to talk to and you can have your own set of challenge coins in no time.

1st Gear: General Motors, Outsourcer In Chief?
Forbes reports that while President Obama has been praising General Motors, GM has basically turned into the outsourcer-in-chief. Here are how the numbers stack up. GM North America accounts for 98,000 of the 207,000 GM jobs worldwide. But, that includes 12,000 of these jobs in Canada and 11,500 in Mexico. Without them, GM has 74,500 jobs in the United States and 122,500 abroad, even after Obama's touted surge in Detroit jobs. Overall, almost two thirds of GM's jobs are in other countries. Forbes notes that GM clearly states that foreign investment is an integral parts of its growth strategy.
For instance, take China. Forbes says GM's annual report states, "We will continue to grow our business under the Baojin, Jiefang, and Wuling brands. We operate in Chinese markets through a number of joint ventures and maintaining good relations with our joint venture partners, which are affiliated with the Chinese government, is an important part of our Chinese growth strategy." The magazine goes on, "Well, Obama likes government-private partnerships. Our GM is now in cahoots with the titans of the Chinese Communist Party." Now, everybody does business overseas, and of course Chrysler is foreign run. But GM seems to be the most closely linked to Obama, and it's always under greater scrutiny.
2nd Gear: Marchionne And The UAW In a $6 Billion Showdown
Bloomberg reports that Sergio Marchionne and the UAW's representative to the Chrysler board are playing a multi billion-dollar game of chicken. Here's what's going on. Marchionne wants to get his hands on the 41.7 percent of Chrysler that Fiat doesn't own, but which the UAW's health care trust does. Once he does that, he can tap $12.1 billion in Chrysler cash that the Treasury Department won't let him touch due to terms of the bailout. The trust, meanwhile, has a big chunk of Chrysler stock that gives it influence, but isn't worth anything in the real world, since Chrysler hasn't gone public. Bloomberg calculates that the money at stake is about $6 billion. Analysts say Marchionne will want a discount, but the UAW doesn't really have to give it one, since they aren't going to sell to anybody else. Cue that Ennio Morricone music.
3rd Gear: Das Polizei Get Some BMW Hot Wheels
AutoWorldNews takes a look at the concept cop cars that BMW is introducing in Leipzig, Germany next month. Yes, BMW makes police cars and it's showing 3-Series Touring, X3, 7-Series High Security, X5 Security, and an i3 Concept cruiser.
AutoWorldNews says the 3-Series Touring and the X3 production models have BMW's iDrive interface system that BMW considers to be ideal for police work. They also come with options such as LED identification lights and additional warning devices. The 7-Series and X5 Security versions are intended more for detectives and airport security work. We're not really sure how the i3 will be deployed, but it is an interesting idea to have something smaller in the mix.
4th Gear: Auto Talks Time In Canada
The Globe And Mail says the Detroit auto companies will open "difficult, intense" talks tomorrow with the Canadian Auto Workers union. The negotiations open first at General Motors, move to Ford on Wednesday and head to Chrysler on Thursday. Canadian workers are in a tough spot, because their labor contracts have put them out of sync with what their counterparts are earning in the U.S. and elsewhere. GM's Dan Akerson says Canada is "the most expensive place to build a car in the world right now." (That might be a slight exaggeration given what's up at Opel.) For its part, the CAW has never hesitated to walk out to make its point, and it's not afraid to do so this year. "My message to the Big Three is, there is a little momentum [and they are] turning around and making profits," CAW President Ken Lewenza says. "Don't get overzealous because a work stoppage will stop that momentum."
Reverse: He Made It Go Hmmmm
Wish a happy 110th birthday to Felix Wankel! (Well, he died in 1988, but it would be cool if he had lived this long.) He was born on this day in 1902 in Lahr, Germany. Wankel reportedly came up with the basic idea for a new type of internal combustion gasoline engine when he was only 17 years old. In 1924, Wankel set up a small laboratory where he began the research and development of his dream engine, which would be able to attain intake, compression, combustion and exhaust, all while rotating. Years later, the Wankel engine showed up on the Mazda Cosmo Sport and the technology was licensed to many other carmakers. [History]
In keeping with our new discussion system, here's a place for you to own the floor. We're asking each day what you think about an issue that comes up in TMS.
Today, let's talk about GM and its global investments. What do you think the Treasury Department should have required GM to do regarding investing overseas versus the U.S.? Or, should the company just be left alone to operate where it feels it needs to? Remember there's no right answer or wrong answer. It's Neutral.

Psychiatric drugs
Drugs have always been part of mental health care whether legal or illegal, prescribed or self-administered. Sedatives played a major role in controlling people inside asylums. Nerve tonics helped people stay out of them. Specific drugs treating specific mental health problems only became reality after the Second World War.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, a French pharmaceutical company investigated drugs for sedating patients during surgery. It discovered chlorpromazine, a drug which relaxed patients without making them sleepy. This attracted the attention of psychiatrists, who soon reported it 'straightened out' disordered thinking and behaviour. Chlorpromazine quickly caught on among psychiatrists in Europe and North America as it was less dangerous and labour-intensive than existing treatments for severe mental illness, such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and lobotomy. The idea of a 'magic bullet' to treat mental health problems, in a way comparable to penicillin treating infections, propelled research.
Laboratory research since then, both by academic researchers and by pharmaceutical firms, led to a great boom in drugs targeting mental health problems. These have included minor tranquilisers for anxiety, anti-psychotics, antidepressants, mood stabilisers and drugs treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Such drugs profoundly affected how mental health problems are treated. Their availability helped prompt the closure of many mental institutions in the 1970s and 1980s. They also contributed to the declining popularity of psychoanalysis.
These targeted psychiatric drugs had an extraordinary social impact too. Awareness of their use and discussion about how they work reduced the stigma surrounding mental illness. Many people find it more acceptable to attribute psychiatric symptoms to a chemical imbalance than to a psychological or emotional imbalance. In turn, this reduction in stigma helped increase the psychiatric drugs market. The stigma of mental illness, however, is not easily eliminated. It now settles on people who fail to respond to available drugs, or who stop taking their prescribed drugs against doctors' advice.

I need to purchase a laptop for school (it's a requirement), and I want to buy something that I can also use for game programming. Money isn't really an issue, but I am very apprehensive about how useful Intel's dual core processor technology would be for me.

In general, my laptop will be used for academics (which requires little processing power) and game programming. The dual core technology seems like it will be most useful for multimedia applications, or anything that needs a lot of things to be done in parallel...big time multitasking, but I highly doubt it will yield any sort of an FPS boost or latency reduction in anything interactive.
On my current system, which is an older P4 with a high clock speed (released before P4 extreme edition), I had decided to disable the 'hyper threading' technology, which attempts to handle executions in parallel, a simulated 'dual core'. Ultimately it made things run like crap (menus in windows would take slightly longer to pop up when I had it enabled, programs took longer to start, input from programs was delayed, and in my own programs a slight increase in the time it would take to render a single graphics frame).
The only redeeming quality about the hyper threading technology is that it was only simulated, and could subsequently be turned off...not the case with the physical dual core processor.
Anyone care to opine?

I became a mom seven years ago. I couldn't have been happier except for the fact that I was distraught at the idea of having to go back to work full time. How could I be a model mom?
I loved working in the fitness industry but didn't want someone else raising my baby. I was disappointed that there weren't career opportunities that were supportive of motherhood.
During my maternity leave, I created a workout that I could do with Jacob (my son) as I didn't want to spend a moment away from him. It was our best hour of the day.
The only problem was that I was overwhelmed with questions about motherhood. So, I created a class with other new moms. I knew I could help them get back in shape and they could help me with all the questions I had about sleep, nursing, etc.
I guess I wasn't the only one looking to get back in shape and meet other new moms because my classes took off. Before long, I turned it in to a business. We are now the 17th fastest growing franchise with over 800 locations across the country.
It's been a feel good business to share career opportunities with other new moms. But beyond that, I have felt blessed to inspire moms to be healthy role models for their children.
They are never too young. These babies listen and absorb our every word and action. I think that may be part of the success of the business.
What we won't do for ourselves, we'll do for our children.
Have you made any interesting career choices since becoming a mom? Do you have any helpful hints for new moms who don't want to go back to their previous jobs?

I've heard that using two monitors (or a laptop's screen and a monitor) is actually quite useful, and am thinking about trying it (which would mean figuring out how to set it up under Xorg, how to disable it when the extra monitor is disconnected, etc.).
So, what do people think (preferably those people who use or have used such a setup, but other opinions are welcome as well)?

It can be useful. Main screen contains the work that you're doing, second screen contains the result of the work...you have a quick visual of any changes without having to flip between or tile windows.
Also, if your work takes up a lot of real estate, spreading the desktop between 2 (or more) monitors can help there as well.
Apparently some games are twin screen aware as well, which could be fun.

I have used dual monitors for years and love it. I have my browser full screen on the main, and gkrellm, email, music player and misc stuff like a calculator on the secondary. I also enjoy watching videos on the secondary while I surf on the main. I have a hard time dropping down to one (when using other computers) when doing anything serious. It is also very useful when editing video/audio and many other things which you don't think about until you have it. I have thought of going to 3 heads for a while now...I just don't want to lose the desk space.

Work provides a Toshiba Tecra M9 with nvidia graphics. Internal is 1440x900, and I use it in a dock with external Dell 24" 1920x1200.
If I boot without the external monitor I don't need to tweak the xorg.conf, it simply doesn't even atttempt to use it and everything works normally.
I find it really helps to be able to have three activities running and visible - i.e. a mix of email, editor, web browser and terminal sessions, and still leaves room for an IM chat window or two! The real productivity gains comes when you can have a page of source code up and the resulting web page and the generated HTML at the same time!

Mandy might know her way around the block or three but those wide innocent eyes in that cute face are undeniably adorable. Her slim, toned body is super tiny, and her little breasts are firm with a bit of bounce. Watch her get her tight, tiny ass split in half by giant cock in her first scene here on Brazzers, doing what smoking hot teen sluts do best.

Makeup and hair for Janice.SAVE TO WISHLIST
Actual: fr SGD390 / Solemnization: fr SGD390 / Pre-wed: fr SGD330 / Non-bridal: fr SGD200
Fionna was my make up artist and hair stylist on my wedding day. I did some research online and when I came across Fionna's website, I pretty much decided she was the one! The key factor being all the brides in her online portfolio/gallery had one thing in common. Each bride's personality and authenticity shone through. I believe make up should bring out the best in my natural beauty and not mask it and Fionna's work is definitely up my alley. By the time I met Fionna in person for a trial make up and hair styling session, I felt even more assured and at ease with my decision. She's personable and patient, and very open to my concerns. She also took the time to explore different styles on me to find out my preferred style and comfort level. On the wedding day itself, in addition to doing my make up and hair, Fionna also did the same for my Mum, my maid-of-honour and my sister. She worked alone but wasn't ruffled at any moment, not to mention all 4 of us were extremely at ease and satisfied with the outcomes. I strongly recommend Fionna on your big day, or any other special occasions where you want your best and unique self to shine.
Fionna was recommended to me by a good friend who had her bridal makeup done. She was really professional, warm and really knew how to put people at ease. She managed to handle my mum who can be rather fussy and critical perfectly and that was indeed a blessing. She was absolutely a joy to work with and I would definitely recommend her to other future brides. She's a real gem!!
We were fortunate to have Fionna Lau provide my wife's make up for our wedding day. I am writing this review on behalf of my wife as I was one of the main beneficiaries of the superb job Fionna did for my wife. Had the make up not lived up to my wife's expectations, I can say this would have tarnished our special day. My wife is very particular, dare I say high maintenance when it comes to her face. While I don't consider her as someone who uses a lot of makeup, she wasn't going to take any chances with our wedding day and pictures. She did meet with several artists in the months before the wedding allowing her to trial the work of each artist. She showed me the results of a couple of free trials and I burst out laughing- she was barely recognizable. Thank god for Fiona. The results of her trial left no doubts that she was the right artist for my wife. My wife looked classy and elegant. We made the decision to go with Fiona. Make up was one thing we didn't have to worry about during this stressful time because we trusted and were confident in Fiona's capabilites. She was a fantastic listener. My wife had requests and ideas and Fiona was able to make those happen. Fiona balanced my wife's request with her expertise so that the end result was awesome. I would add Fiona was very discreet and professional during the process. During the wedding day its a very personal time for family, and Fiona knew how to integrate and present herself without getting in the way. Fiona was attention to detail - the application was done with precision. Punctuality - Fiona was always on time and fully engaged during the entire session. Quality of products. Responsiveness to inputs Fiona creates trust through her commitment to results and her personal integrity. You can tell she is very experienced and dedicated to her work. We enthusiastically recommend Fiona to others who are considering her professional services.
Fionna did my hair and makeup for my wedding in July 2016 and would highly recommend her. Her relaxed and friendly approach makes you feel calm and you feel trust in her years of experience. She's open to feedback, and prompt in her responses and takes pride in her work. Fiona is a complete professional and I wish her the very best!
Fiona was recommended to me by my best friend, and I never regretted to choose her as my make up artist. Before the big day, Fiona requested for pictures of me and my dress. And during the day, she asked to me what my request is. My husband likes "sweet and natural" look, so I did request for it. She did very amazing work with my make up and hair, especially my eyes. All my family and my friends praised my make up was very amazing and flawless, yet it sweet. I would recommend her to anyone, but don't forget to book early since she's in high demand!
Fionna is very friendly and easy to talk to. For (past) brides like me, it's very reassuring to have professional make-up artistes like Fionna by my side. She offers great advice and even help to take care of our delicate skin by using high quality ampoules before applying makeup. I also appreciate that her attention to details and the hairstyles she created for my pre-wedding and actual day reception! I highly recommend Fionna's hair & makeup service to all bride-to-bes.
Being a nervous bride, Fionna remained calm and was accommodating to my needs. She Is detailed oriented and took extra care to ensure my scars remained hidden when I walked down the aisle. Fionna is a great artist to work with! *Thumbs up*
Fionna is the go-to make up artist when asked for recommendation. She made me the happiest and most certainly the prettiest on my wedding day! She was full of life- the smiles, the energy and warmth in her. We had a blast during the trial and the laughter rolled onwards. She is very professional in putting on the most natural makeup and also a trendsetter on the latest hairdos. It was easy communicating to her my desired hairstyle and she worked her magic into them! She is also very knowledgeable on makeup and products which made our conversations more interesting. Thank you Fionna for turning this into a unforgettable occasion! Two thumbs up! 👍🏻👍🏻😄
I arranged for a make-up session for myself in the early morning, a touch-up between my first and second march-ins, and a make-up session for my mother with Fionna. She arrived early for both sessions, assuaging a nervous bride's fears. I love her make-up philosophy of letting our natural beauty shine through! I was very satisfied with the two different looks she gave me for both my dresses, and did not feel overwhelmed by the make-up on my face (I don't usually put on make-up). My mum looked gorgeous as well, thanks to Fionna's dedication and perfectionism. Last but not least, Fionna was such a pleasure to chat with as she did our make-up! I highly recommend her to other brides!

Our Vegan Mentor Program came into existence to fulfill the need for long-term support that many people would like to have in their transition to a vegan lifestyle. Much of the focus has been on getting information out on the benefits of becoming vegan, but there is precious little on providing follow-up support. To many people, the arguments for a vegan lifestyle may be compelling, but actually making the change may seem uncomfortable, if not outright overwhelming. They may feel alone and don't know who to turn to for help, and as a result, may find their own efforts and attempts unfulfilling and eventually fall back to their old patterns. NARN's Vegan Mentor Program is here to help. We provide the one-on-one personal support to make transitioning to a lifestyle of compassion easy and ever-lasting. We find that those who have been mentored have stayed vegan and are happier for it.
If you think that you'd like to become vegan, whether you are already a vegetarian or if you still eat meat, we encourage you to take the Vegan Pledge and have a new friend to help you out, answer questions, lend an ear, and offer advice. If you're wondering what veganism is and why one should become vegan, check out our Vegan FAQs.
Are you an animal lover? Then be the change you wish to see! Being vegan is the most effective and direct way to save the lives of animals, and nowadays it's never been easier to do so. Free yourself from the hidden cycle of cruelty and misery present in every industry that uses animals. Your choice to live a fair, sustainable, compassionate and ethical life by giving up animal products and not supporting businesses and organizations that use animals does not mean a life without pleasure, fun, or convenience. Your Vegan Mentor will show you how you can have both a fun and principled life. Whether you wish to start by being vegan immediately or you wish to phase out animal products with the ultimate goal of being vegan, your Mentor will give you the long-term support as you transition to your new path. Now, there are so many good reasons to reject animal products and so many choices of animal-free alternatives that the real question is not 'why vegan?' but 'why not?'. And we are here to help.
Start off a new life of compassion and sign up by filling out our online Vegan Mentor Questionnaire form below. We will then match you up with one of our volunteer Vegan Mentors, who will contact you and get you started on your new path of compassion and respect for all animals.
*NOTE: Currently we ask only those who live in Western Washington State to participate in our program. This is so that new vegan pledgers can be directed to local restaurants, resources, community events, and other opportunities within the region. We do not wish to discourage anyone from being vegan or trying out veganism, so if you wish to participate in our mentorship program but are outside the region, just be aware that while our mentors can help you with the practicalities and principles of being vegan, they may not be able to assist you in resources local to you, meet you in person, or any of the other in-depth opportunities that our mentors can provide. In the future we plan on coordinating with other groups outside our region to provide mentorship programs; news of such will be here. Thanks!
Are you a long-term vegan who wishes to help others along in their path to compassion? We are looking for people who have been vegan for at least two years, and live in Western Washington State. If you are, then fill out our online Vegan Mentor Questionnaire form below.

It's the month of the male stripper.
Joey Lawrence, whom — depending on how old you are — you remember from Blossom, Jumping Ship or Melissa & Joey, will be joining the legendary Chippendales in Las Vegas.
Presumably devastated he wasn't able to appear in stripper movie Magic Mike, Lawrence — who's not fond of wearing a shirt on Melissa & Joey either — is fulfilling his stripper needs with a stint in the famous show. But the early nineties nostalgia lovers among us have to act fast — Lawrence will only appear as a special limited engagement until June 24.
There's no video of his performance available yet, so only time will tell if Lawrence can compete with the all-time great bowtie dancers like Chris Farley.

Facebook's IPO is going to create 1,000 millionaires.
How will they deal with their newfound wealth? How will the culture inside Facebook change?
We don't know, but this isn't the first tech company to IPO and suddenly make its employees rich.
During the first tech bubble it was happening all the time, and it messed with the morale of companies.
Yahoo's current CEO Ross Levinsohn said that when he was at AltaVista in the late nineties, one of the company's engineers built a little stock widget for employees to track how the stock was doing on their computers. (AltaVista was owned by another company.) It allowed the employees to monitor in real time their personal wealth.
Sounds like fun, but it was huge distraction and ultimately the company lost to Google.
How did Google prevent the same thing from happening? By aggressively limiting people's focus on their new wealth.
In Steve Levy's book, "In The Plex," he relays this story of what it was like during and after the IPO:
Othe day of the IPO, Wayne Rosing, the head of engineering, addressed an all-hands meeting. In his hand he held a baseball bat. He told the Googlers that if he looked in the parking lot in the next few days and saw new BMWs or Porsches, he would use the bat to smash the windshields.
Marissa Mayer told her team that she didn't want them checking the stock price during the day. When her workers did not respond with full compliance, she instituted another policy: if anyone who worked for her spotted someone else in the group looking at the stock ticker, all he or she had to do was walk over and tap that person on the shoulder. Then that person would have to buy you a share of stock. After a number of involuntary exchanges, people either stopped checking or learned to hide their peeking more effectively.
However, despite Google's best efforts it still did affect the company and its culture:
Even the Google masseuse noticed the impact of money, especially when it came to the divide between early employees holding valuable options and those who came later. "While one was looking at local movie times on his monitor, the other was booking a flight to Belize for the weekend," she said in a book she wrote. "Don't think everyone wasn't aware of the rift."

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - Lower Michigan's already overflowing rivers were getting more water as a wave of severe thunderstorms pushed through the state Thursday, forcing some people to evacuate and knocking out power to about 77,000 homes and businesses.
In the Grand Rapids suburb of Wyoming, Mayor Jack Poll declared a state of emergency Thursday and officials issued an evacuation order for some areas. The city called in available police, firefighters and public works employees and is making sand bags and sand available.
Workers were using inflatable boats to rescue some people living along the Buck Creek, a Grand River tributary.
In Grand Rapids, five children were carried from a stalled vehicle through a flooded West Michigan street.
Melissa Kolenda said she was taking photos Thursday when she noticed the vehicle had stopped running and wouldn't restart. She said the driver was deathly afraid of water.
'I said, 'If I come out there, you're going to need to come out with me,'' Kolenda told MLive.com. A police officer and firefighter helped Kolenda carry the children to dryer ground. They also helped two women to safety. The water was waist-high and there was a strong current, and the car eventually became completely submerged, Kolanda said.
The Grand River is expected to crest Monday about 6 feet over flood stage, or when the river first tops its banks, in the Grand Rapids area on Monday. The water was 3.1 feet above flood stage Thursday at Comstock Park and 2.2 feet above in Ottawa County's Robinson Township, according to the National Weather Service.
The Saginaw River was 2.8 feet above flood stage Thursday and expected to crest 5.8 feet over the weekend, while the Pine River was 2.1 feet over flood stage at Alma.
Water levels could keep rising as up to 4 inches of rain fall on parts of the state through Friday, the weather service said.
About 70,000 DTE Energy Co. customers were without power at 6 p.m. Thursday, said company spokeswoman Randi Berris. Most were in Oakland and Washtenaw counties. About 7,000 CMS Energy Corp. customers lost power, and about 2,500 were still blacked out about 6 p.m., said spokesman Terry DeDoes.

Videos: Moody Blues
What's Available in You4ia! Video?
Instant access to the amazing creation power of your emotions.
WHAT IF...you deliberately used videos to create the emotional attraction states that speed to you what you want?
Prefer to read the text of the video? Here it is:
Introduction: THE POWER of You4ia! Video
One of the games the mind chatter likes to play with us is to put us into an unconscious mental drift so that we're unaware of the reality our mind chatter is creating for us or attracting to us. It's like going out to swim in the ocean where there's a strong current and looking back to shore ten minutes later only to discover that the point you went out is now a quarter of a mile down the beach. You know the drift of which I speak, yes?
So that's why so many people who want to express their power most fully realize the importance of focusing on thoughts that keep you moving on a clear path toward what you want rather than floating aimlessly toward whatever your chaotic mind chatter patterns choose for you. That's why so many people, including ourselves quite emphatically, choose deliberate creation over the kind the drift has for you. Are you open to allowing yourself to choose a life of deliberate creation?
All that said, we've created this video section as a place that you can come to play deliberately. To share your favorite videos and explore what others are sharing with you. To tune into your emotions, to play with your emotional states in a conscious and deliberate way. To spend just a little more time in what? Yes, joy. And just a little less time in what? Yes, less in stress. IN...Joy and Stress...LESS. Yesss.
The other reason we've created You4ia! video is just so you can have more fun. It's important to avoid being serious about having fun you know. You've intended your joy. Trust in the power of your intention. Let go of your joy strategies.

The Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation today announced the winners of its biannual awards, which take the form of sizable grants to institutions to support upcoming exhibitions. This year's winners are exhibitions by Johanna Burton at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y.; Claire Tancons and Krista A. Thompson at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans; and Claire S. Carter at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art in Scottsdale, Ariz. The first two exhibitions will receive $150,000 apiece, and the latter will take home $100,000.
Ms. Burton is on a tear recently! Last month, she was named the director and curator of education at the New Museum, after serving as director of the graduate program at CCS Bard since 2010. Titled "Slow Dance," her show, according to a statement from the foundation, is "an experimental curatorial venture that aims to position dance in relation to art and art to dance without collapsing their useful differences." It's tentatively expected to open at the museum in June 2014. Tentative artist list follows: Ryan Kelley and Brennen Gerard, Taisha Paggett, Yve Laris Cohen, Justin Vivian Bond, Jack Ferver, Liz Santoro, Tere O'Connor, Trajal Harrell, Will Rawls, Sam Kim, Marissa Perel, Jodi Melnick, David Neumann, Jen Rosenblit and robbinschild.
The Tremaine Foundation, which his based in New Haven, Conn., was founded in 1986 using proceeds from the sale of works from the contemporary art collection of Emily Hall Tremaine, who died in 1987, and her husband Burton G. Tremaine, who died in 1991. They also donated some impressive works to the Wadsworth Atheneum, in Hartford, Conn, where the contemporary art curator position is named for Ms. Tremaine.
The Tremaine name may also be familiar to contemporary art fans from Louise Lawler's photographs of their collection. She began photographing their holdings at their home in 1984 and has periodically returned to their works in a variety of locations.
Mazel to all the winners!

Panda Cloud AV Products Emerge
Shortly after they came to us with initial test results on Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, AV-Test.org gave us similar tests on Panda Internet Security 2010. These initial results look good.
Click here for Panda's press release on the release of their 2010 products which move detection into Panda's "cloud."
As we've discussed before, the emergence of cloud-based detection in anti-malware throws a monkey wrench into established methodologies and best practices for product testing. In effect, it is no longer possible to have completely reproducible tests, because the state of the cloud is not under the tester's control. It also means that you need to have an active Internet connection for your testing, when in the past you might have had an isolated network, perhaps with a fake Internet connection. C'est la vie, it's something we have to live with.
In this case AV-Test performed their tests on June 26, 2009 with what were, at the time, the most current updates available. They used all samples from the 05/2009 WildList and malware from older releases, a total of 3,194 confirmed malicious and widespread samples. Both the on-access and on-demand scanners were easily able to detect and remove these. AV-Test then tested against a larger set of about 680,000 malware samples, and Panda 2010 detected 99.6% of these. It triggered no false positives on AV-Test's false positive / clean file test set. These are very good results.
AV-Test also tested PIS 2010 against a set of recently-released malware samples not on anyone's detection list in order to measure dynamic, or behavior-based, detection. PIS 2010 warned in about 45% of such cases when the malware was executed, but it only blocked or quarantined a few of these.
Detection and removal of already-infected PCs, even those infected with rootkits, worked well. All rootkits in the test were detected and removed.
AV-Test's test methodology used in these tests may be downloaded from their papers section.

Team Standing:
Welcome to the 2011 Spring Season
Collins Hills / Pee Wee
Team Page
May 22, 2011 - The Giants are the Champions, My Friends
Coach Todd Reusch likes to tell his Pee Wee Giants team to "... go out and have fun and try to win the game" before each game. Well, thats exactly what happened as the Giants (8-3-1) captured the Pee Wee League tournament championship title by defeating the Pirates (10-2) on Saturday afternoon, May 21, 2011 at Collins Hill Park, Field 7. The final score was 9 - 2. With outdoor temperature tipping 90 degrees, the Giants were on FIRE!
more [+]
May 17, 2011 - Giants Still Alive in the Playoffs with a Win over the Cubs
The Giants won their first playoff game against the Cubs on Monday evening, May 16, 2011 against the visiting Cubs. The final score was 4 – 3.
May 15, 2011 - Giants Lose Their Last Regular Season Game Against Phillies
The Giants last game of the regular season did not go as they would have expected. The Giants were out played by the Phillies with a 4-2 loss on Saturday, May 14, 2001. It was a mid-day game with temperatures a little cooler than normal. Metaphorically speaking, the Giants seemed to not be as hot during the final game, either.
May 9, 2011 - Simply Amazing! Giants Top the Braves, 15 - 3!
The Giants came prepared for a battle Saturday as they took on the Braves in their second game of the day on May 7, 2011. With less than a half hour of rest between their first and second game, the Giants were not unraveled. Was it the hotdogs that did it or was it just the awesome team work and coaching efforts by Giant team that brought home the victory?? Regardless, the Giants reigned throughout the game and brought home the win with a 15 – 3 victory over the Braves.
more [+]
May 9, 2011 - Giants and Cubs Faceoff Again with Similar Results; A Win for the Giants
Saturday's game against the Cubs was the first of two games played by the Giants on May 7, 2011. With no field practice for the past two weeks, due to seasonal rain, the Giants did not appear to be rusty at all. The Giants were able to pull off another win against the Cubs in their second match up of the season with a final score of 15 -5.
May 1, 2011 - Giants Suffer Another Lost to the Pirates
The Giants were handed their second lost of the season on Saturday, April 30 to the Pirates with a final score of 10 – 1. The Giants have not found a way to top the Pirates this season, as both losses were to the Pirates.
Apr 30, 2011 - Gwinnett Braves / Collins Hill Night
The Giants had the night off last night, but you couldn't tell by the way the boys were playing and enjoying themselves out at Coolray Stadium. The Collins Hills Athletic Association Baseball League was well represented at the Gwinnett Braves Coolray stadium last night during the Gwinnett Braves /Collins Hill Night Event, where the Gwinnett Braves hosted the Columbus Clippers. This was the first CHAA Baseball Spring 2011 park event where teams from all leagues participated in various functions throughout the evening at the stadium.

text: NOTE: This tutorial is for rooting the HTC Wildfire S by unlocking the phones bootloader even with S-ON. It is no longer necessary to gain S-OFF in order to root the Wildfire S! This method of rooting the phone became possible with HTC devs release of the unlocked bootloader for the Wildfire S. I dont take credit for coming up with this method, just for consolidating it here for those interested. Credit goes out to the guys at xda developers for each step. Please note that this method does involve the possible voiding of your warranty, so be certain that you are willing to risk that to root your phone. Moreover, you proceed at your own risk. I accept no responsibility for what you do with your phone. All I can say is that I got it to work on mine, and so have many others. You will need much patience and time, and youll need to know how to use SDK tools for Android (see below). If you are a total noob, I do not recommend this for your first project! If you try anyway and get confused with terminology, try looking here for answers: Terminology - CyanogenMod Wiki. 1. Perform a full backup your phones data as you will be doing a factory reset. 2. [OPTIONAL] Update software version to 2.3.5 If you have a Marvel/A510e, I recommend updating to 2.3.5 before proceeding (if possible), though you can root a 2.3.3 device. If you decide to root 2.3.3 now and install 2.3.5 later, youll lose your root and have to run steps 4 and 5 over again. If a 2.3.5 update is unavailable for your phone through HTC OTA updates or your carrier and youre willing to do some work, check out this guide to install the European 2.3.5 ROM which is known to work with most Marvel/A510e phones even from other regions. [GUIDE]How to update HTC Wildfire S/Marvel/A510e/GSM to Software Version 2.3.5 Certain other phones like MetroPCS are stuck at 2.3.4, so move on to step 3 below. 3. Unlock your bootloader at htcdev.com The next step is to head over to htcdev.com and follow the procedure there to unlock your bootloader. This is the step that can void your warranty! READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTINUING!!!! Phones with updated ROMs already have an unlockable bootloader, so step 3B below (the hardest step in the rooting process) is unnecessary. Before beginning, check to see if you have an updated bootloader already as follows: 3A. Getting started Create an account at htcdev.com and login. Click the "Unlock Bootloader" icon and "Get Started" button. On the right side of the next page you will see Supported Devices and a dropdown list that says ------- Select Your Device ------- below it. If your bootloader already says ***_LOCKED_*** then choose All Other Supported Models since you do not need to update your bootloader. Otherwise choose HTC Wildfire S *. The asterisk (*) means that your phone requires a bootloader update (step 3B below). Finally, click the "Begin Unlock Bootloader" button. Fill out all the nasty forms telling HTC that its perfectly fine with you to potentially void your warranty by doing this process. If your phone's bootloader already shows ***UNLOCKED *** and you selected All Other Supported Models then proceed to step 3C below. Otherwise continue at step 3B. 3B. Updating your Bootloader Read the "Bootloader instructions" page carefully. Then choose the correct RUU for your phones carrier and model number (ie, PG76xxx00). The model number for your phone is found under the battery minus the final two 0s. If youve successfully upgraded to the European 2.3.5 RUU in step 1 above, the corresponding bootloader update (HTC EU) should work for your phone. Its the one I used for my Asia A510e/PG76100. Re-read the instructions and then follow them. When you run the RUU, make sure that HTC Sync isnt running in the background or youll get error 170 USB connection and the update will fail. Once the bootloader is successfully updated, when you boot your phone into HBOOT (turn it off, pull and reinsert the battery, hold volume down and press power button) youll see ***_LOCKED_(OOW)_*** ("Out Of Warranty"?) at the top of the screen and and H-BOOT-1.08.0099 or H-BOOT-1.10.0000 below. Move on to 3C below. But, if you run into problems... If you cant find an RUU for your phone/carrier, try a generic RUU for a phone of the same model. These will start with "HTC" instead of a carrier name. Again,make sure that its for the same model (ie, PG76xxxx) as your phone. If you ignore what I just said and brick your phone, then you probably arent reading this sentence either but its still your own fault How to manually flash the update if you get errors trying to update with the RUU...exe: First, verify that HTC Sync isnt running in the background. If not and youre still getting errors (ie, 131-wrong CID, 170/171-USB error, 191-ROM Not Supported) chances are you can overcome them by flashing the ROM from your MicroSDHC card using this procedure. 1) Run the RUU...exe again. (For A510e users, download the HTC Asia RUU and run it instead of the HTC EU RUU. Thanks for the tip, fyerwyer!) Once the wizard is running, look for the temp folder it created. It will look something like C:/Users/[YourLoginNameHere]/AppData/Local/Temp/{82B23FCD-D5D0-45CA-A3A2-5350D3926551}. To get there quickly, open Explorer and type %temp% in the navigation bar, then open the folder with the long file name. 2) Find rom_02.zip in a subfolder of that folder and rename it PG76IMG.zip 3) Copy PG76IMG.zip onto the root directory of your MicroSDHC card 4) Shutdown the phone, pull and reinsert the battery and reinstall the MicroSDHC card 5) Boot into HBOOT (hold volume down and press power) 6) Wait for it to load PG76IMG.zip and press volume up ("yes") to install 7) Shut the phone down and delete PG76IMG.zip from the MicroSDHC card 8) Boot into HBOOT again and you should see ***_LOCKED_(OOW)_*** with a bootloader version of H-BOOT-1.08.0099 or H-BOOT-1.10.0000 below. Move onto 3C below If youre completely stuck on this step you can get more help here or post a reply to this thread and Ill try to help. But be sure to thank the guys that help you by clicking the thanks button! 3C. Unlock the bootloader Now youll follow the steps starting on pg. 2 of the unlock bootloader procedure at htcdev.com. (Find the green button waaaay down at the bottom of the ROM selection page that says "Proceed to Step 1".) This step requires you to use adb commands (SDK tools) to retrieve your phones oem identifier token. You will then upload that to the HTC dev bootloader unlock page. Make sure that you enter it without any spaces. After receiving it, HTC dev will respond with an email containing an image file ("Unlock_code.bin") which you will then flash to the phone to unlock your bootloader. When done successfully, the HBOOT screen will show ***_UNLOCKED_***. Success! 4. Now on to root the phone! Note: this will only work if your phones bootloader is successfully unlocked (you see ***_UNLOCKED_*** on your HBOOT screen) or you happen to have an S-ON phone. There are easier methods of rooting the Wildfire S using "one-click" tools such as the HTC SuperTool v3 by frigid at xda-developers, but these tools are getting less-and-less reliable with new bootloaders and updated stock HTC ROMs. The method below is a little more involved, but has a near 100% success rate. It's also the first way the Wildfire S was rooted--the way of the ancients . Credits to the guys at XDA.cn for developing the rooting script and user Heritz at xda-developers.com for posting the method. 4A. Install ClockworkMod Recovery If CWM Recovery will not load on your phone and you get a black screen when loading recovery from HBOOT (this is very common with the newer ROM builds) then try TWRP Recovery which, as you would expect, comes in GSM and CDMA flavors. You can download and install it with GOOManager or download it directly from TeamWin: GSM or CDMA 4B. Download root.zip and put it on your SD card. 4C. Flash root.zip Boot into HBOOT and go into Recovery. Then select install zip from sd card and choose zip from sd card. Then find the root.zip file downloaded above and install it. 4D. Go back to the main menu and reboot the phone. 4E. Verify that the SuperUser app is installed and go to Google Play market to update it. If the SuperUser app is not installed, download SuperSU from Google Play store. Either way, reboot the phone. 4F. Verify that the phone is rooted by installing any app that requires root and opening it. Some good apps that require root are Link2SD, Titanium Backup, ES File Explorer (enable rooted exploring under settings) and Root Explorer. When you open the app, you should see something like the following: If you don't see this screen and the phone says it can't access root, reboot and try again. 5. Im finally rooted! Now what? 5A. Backup your stock HTC ROM in CWM5 (or TWRP) Recovery!! Before you make changes to your stock ROM or decide to install a custom ROM, this is a must! Reverting back to a stock HTC ROM after installing a custom ROM can cause massive headaches. Restoring from a backup is MUCH easier. It will also help if you've ruined your ROM causing a softbrick. You just boot into CWM5 Recovery, do a factory reset and clear cache (including Dalvik) and do a restore from your previously backed-up ROM. So, reboot the phone into bootloader, use volume down to select Recovery and press power to select. When Recovery comes up, select Backup/Restore > Backup. Then find the backup you just made on the SD card (under sdcard/clockworkmod/backup) and copy that to your computer for safekeeping in case you loose or format your SD card. 5B. Install custom ROMs. Some are happy with HTCs stock Sense 2.1 ROMs. But most of us arent, and thats why we rooted the phone in the first place, right? First, make sure that the ROM you download is for your phone: For MetroPCS, I only know of one custom ROM: [ROM]Stock 2.3.4, Sense 2.1[Rooted][Apps2sd][MetroPCS]- Only for marvelc Other MarvelC devices are also limited. Check here for your options: Tutorials, Roms, Team MarvelUSc -- EVERYTHING YOU NEED. Marvel/A510e users have lots of good options. A great first alternative ROM to try is Alquezs CyanogenMod 7.2 port for Marvel. Also check out the custom ROMs developed by Disciplexone in the All Things Root section. For a list of other custom ROMs available, check out this thread [INDEX] roms/recovery/guides/kernel/root/... and make sure that the ROM you download is for your phone, whether Marvel/MarvelC/MetroPCS. The procedure for flashing a custom ROM is as follows: 1) Boot into Recovery and backup your stock ROM. If you dont and something goes wrong, youll have a major headache on your hands. *DO NOT* skip this step. 2) Download the ROM and copy it to the root directory of your SD card. 3) Do a factory reset, wipe the cache partition and wipe dalvik cache (under Advanced). 4) Install the update from the SD card. Now enjoy hacking your Droid! __________________ Dont just say thanks, click thanks.

Temperature Sensors
Temperature Sensors
Temperature sensors can be used indoors or outdoors and can be added to existing home security and environmental control systems. Great for home or commercial use, these easy-to-install devices help to immediately alert individuals when temperatures in a home or an office have changed and are posing a threat to the environment. Temperature sensors are also ideal for cabins, greenhouses, wine cellars, cold storage areas and dry storage units.
While temperature sensors can be either wireless or hardwired, the sensors themselves fall into two main categories in that they are either of the contact or non-contact variety. By measuring their own temperature, contact sensors are the easiest for most people to understand and install. Non-contact sensors, on the other hand, are used primarily in commercial settings or in laboratories as they are used to measure the thermal radiant power of infrared or optical radiation existing outside of the sensor.
When purchasing a temperature sensor, it is important to first know the temperature range that each sensor is capable of measuring as well as whether or not the sensor comes with a preset temperature trigger or if you are allowed to set your own. If the sensor will be used outdoors, be sure to select one that specifically states it can be used in this way like the 39 Degree Winland Temp Alert.
Sensors are also useful for monitoring environments that requiring a particular temperature level to protect valuables like computer equipment, plants and produce, bulk food storage and pets. When temperatures fall too low or rise too high, sensors can sound an audible alarm as well as send a message by phone, email or SMS. Not only can sensors be programmed to make multiple attempts at contacting an owner, but some can even leave a voicemail message, if necessary.

Non-unified communications can cost millions
Fragmented communications are costing companies millions of dollars by disrupting workflow and business processes, a new study has revealed.
Fragmented, or non-unified, communications are creating significant work disruptions and causing enterprises to waste millions of dollars on avoidable expenses and lost productivity, according to a startling new survey commissioned by Siemens Communications Inc.
The survey, conducted by Insignia Research, found that the average 1,000-employee enterprise can lose nearly $13 million a year solely as a result of being unable to communicate and collaborate with others in real time. The poll questioned 517 end users in North America and Europe.
"Measuring the Pain: What Is Fragmented Communication Costing Your Enterprise?" uncovered the true costs of maintaining the status quo, which involves workflow disruptions, added costs and associated frustrations that enterprises encounter when they lack the appropriate unified communications solutions. The study delves into the pain points at individual, team and enterprise levels, detailing the frustration and anxiety users and their teams must endure.
The study found that 94% of respondents wait an average of 5.3 hours per week for information they need from others in order to complete tasks. In a 1,000-person enterprise, that translates to more than $9 million annually in lost productivity, based on a $37 hourly wage, the average pay of respondents.
"We've all become accustomed to working this way," said Grace Tiscareno-Sato, senior global unified communications marketing manager at Siemens. She added that disjointed communications have many respondents "lulled into a sense of complacency. The cost is real. The frustrations are real."
The frustrations are further compounded for off-site, remote or branch workers, who reported an average productivity loss of 7.8 hours a month because they don't have access to the communication tools they would have in their main offices. Broken down, that is nearly a full workday each month lost because of fragmented communications, and the problem could snowball as mobility increases within many organizations.
The survey also revealed that enterprises are wasting roughly $3,400 per person each year in business travel expenses that could be wiped out with a unified communications system.
"It's pretty clear that the status quo isn't the way they want to do business," Tiscareno-Sato said.
Enterprise decision makers can take three steps to alleviate the unnecessary costs of disjointed communications: Determine who the users are, find out what communications solutions are available, and deploy a pilot and test the solutions.
Tiscareno-Sato said companies need to take a step back to determine exactly what gaps and holes they want to fill with unified communications solutions.
For many companies, lack of a unified communications system, coupled with the added costs involved with not having one in place, can have an impact on competitiveness and hinder "business processes."
"This is not about inconvenience; these are business processes," Tiscareno-Sato said. "When there's latency in the ways people collaborate, processes are halted. We know that people can fill gaps of time; what we cannot do is get in the way of the processes."
Eve Aretakis, Siemens CEO, said the study is ultimately designed to open enterprises' eyes and help them understand the massive costs of continuing to do business with fragmented communications solutions. The costs were so high, in fact, that Siemens said the actual dollar amounts were reduced.
"To get the most conservative view, we asked the researchers to discount their soft-cost findings by 75%," Aretakis said. "Even then, the soft costs work out to more than $8,400 per employee each year. Factoring in the hard dollars of travel and communication expenses, the data shows an annual impact approaching $13,000 per employee, no matter what size the enterprise. With these findings, the potential return on an investment in unified communications becomes most compelling."
