Over the last few years RE/MAX of Southern Africa has utilised a myriad of services provided by Gunstons Attorneys.
My experience with the company is one of professionalism, commitment and dedication to meeting the client's expectations. One of the major benefits of dealing with Gunstons is the ease of access to senior personnel in different departments and their quick response time to critical issues raised.
I would certainly recommend Gunstons Attorneys to businesses both small and large looking for quality service delivery at reasonable rates.

It goes without saying that a dispute in the High Court is a challenging experience and for our family; ours certainly felt like it had all the makings of a David vs Goliath struggle. Your skill sets, professionalism, integrity, the accessibility of yourself and your team and your prompt and detailed communication assured us that we had the best possible allies. This was ultimately confirmed with the success attained in the resolution of our dispute, an outcome with which we are well pleased and thankful for. We have had no hesitation in referring your services and have received nothing but positive feedback and appreciation for the same and to this end, we look forward to a long and beneficial working relationship with yourself and the Team at Gunstons Attorneys.

I have worked with Gunstons Attorneys since 1997
I have worked with Gunstons Attorneys since 1997, the fact that I still support them is testimony to the faith I have in their ability to attend to matters efficiently and with utmost care and professionalism.
The staff are friendly and the offices are completely devoid of the typical "stiff upper lip attitude" one usually gets when visiting a law firm's offices.

Exceptional Service
Recently my wife and I embarked on the daunting task of purchasing our first family home. Early on we decided that we would try and get both the transfer and bond legalities processed through the same firm, hopefully to reduce overall costs in the process. When our bond was approved by FNB, we were able to do so and we approached Gunston Attorneys. We have found their service exceptional and the overall rates charged very favorable. We can strongly recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.

I Can Definitely Recommend Gunstons Attorneys!
As an estate agent, I am regularly asked by sellers to advise on or recommend a reliable, good conveyancing company, and I have found Gunstons Attorneys to be consistent in their excellent, professional and personal service plus their expertise and knowledge of the transfer process with regards to residential property. I am confident in recommending them when I have made a successful sale, as I know that the after-sales transfer process will be correctly and efficiently handled by Gunstons Attorneys with regular updates, and that my clients will be looked after well. This gives me peace of mind.
I have also received numerous positive feedback comments from my clients. For example: They are willing to go to the clients premises or home to have documents signed, if necessary, which is especially helpful for elderly people. I can definitely recommend Gunstons Attorneys!
-Deanne Gulle

I Hit The Jackpot!
I recently registered a bond with Nedbank and Gunstons were appointed as the conveyancing attorneys. Nedbank allocate attorneys to each job via a cyclical system from a pre-approved pool. Evidently I hit the jackpot.
From my first interaction with Gunstons to when the money was in my account, the process was flawless. My interaction with Liezel Redelinghuys, a paralegal at Gunstons, was an absolute pleasure, as she effected each step of the process and interaction with me with a professional yet wonderfully cheery demeanor.
-Alister Main
Director: Systems Development
They ensure that I take care of my clients in the best possible way
As an estate agent I depend on the complementary role of the conveyancer in order to conclude a successful sale. Over the years I have come to know the Gunstons team well and can recommend them with confidence. They provide ongoing training, which is vital to estate agents considering the changes in legislation in recent years, and are willing to offer support and advice at all times. This ensures that I take care of my clients in the best possible way. Thank you Grant, Ulrik and Gill for your professional and friendly service.
-Carol Hudson

A Staff that goes that Extra Mile
Gunstons is and will remain a firm of attorneys that I happily recommend when dealing with conveyancing. They are appreciated for their all round professionalism, expertise and above all their "hands on" approach. A staff that goes that extra mile.
-Frances de Villiers

I have never looked back
When starting out in the property business 7 years ago , I asked around for some recommendations on a reputable transferring attorney. The same name kept coming up: Gunstons Attorneys. So I thought I would give them a try, and I have never looked back. With prompt, friendly service and regular updates on all my transactions, I highly recommend Gunstons.
-Averil Brink
Principal, Averil Brink Properties
They help me to obtain the best possible outcome for my clients
I have been using the conveyancing services of Gunstons Attorneys for approximately 8 years now. In that considerable period of time, I have yet to have a negative or frustrating experience with any of the staff at Gunstons, something which is all too common with conveyancing attorneys. All the staff members I have dealt with at Gunston`s Attorneys, without exception, understand that together, we are in the services industry, and offer the absolute best service to my customers. When situations arise which require extra attention, they are always happy to assist me in obtaining the best possible outcome for my clients. This is obviously paramount to my reputation too, and so I am always happy to recommend them for the job.

The hype that surrounded the Web and its concomitant New Economy led to many popular myths concerning the design of Web content and Web-based applications. We can forgive this kind of mythology, which is typical of most popular technical innovations. When commercial and industrial use of electricity became a reality at the end of the nineteenth century, it was commonly believed to have miraculous powers not only to transform business and society, but also to cure almost any conceivable ailment by "restoring the life force." Like electricity, the Web has transformed our society to some degree, even in the relatively short time span since its introduction. However, it took 50 years for our use of electricity to mature, and it will doubtless take as many years for us to realize the full benefits and socioeconomic ramifications of the Web.
Some of the most common myths about Web design follow. These myths have found their way into business and technical organizations, and are—to some degree or other—taken at face value by management, marketing, engineering, and sometimes even Web designers themselves. The sooner you can disabuse your organization of these myths, the better.
Myth #1: The Web inherently makes things easier to use.
In the early days of the Web, all that was possible in terms of interaction was single-clicking on text or images to move to a new page (or another part of the same page). This incredible dearth of interaction severely limited what was possible to implement on the Web, with the side effect of making behavior extremely simple. In this sense, the early Web was easy to use, although poor structure and layout could still easily ruin the user experience. However, with the subsequent addition of features like frames, forms, scripted actions, and embedded applets, these apparent gains in ease of use have vanished. What designers are left with now are systems that appear rich enough to be desktop applications. For lingering technical reasons, however, they are capable neither of supporting all the idioms we have come to expect of desktop applications nor of providing the smooth flow and rich feedback that desktop software allows. Dealing with these issues remains a substantial challenge for Web-design practicioners.
Myth #2: Designing for the Web is new and different.
For the many print-oriented graphic designers who entered the Web-design world in the mid-1990s, the Web was certainly new and different. It was more constrained, more fluid, and it introduced a new (to them) concept: hyperlinking of documents. However, little of this was news to software designers, GUI programmers, and usability professionals, who had been concerned with nearly identical problems in the design of software interfaces for many years. One area that was new was the emphasis on content over form and behavior, and thus the discipline of information architecture quickly grew to address that gap in knowledge. However, as the cutting edge of design for the Web has shifted from presentation to transaction, behavior is once again the dominant concern, although content must remain quite important as well. The process of design for the Web is not really different from the design of software applications, although the requirements of content and certain technical limitations affect the direction that the design solution ultimately takes.
Myth #3: Web design is about HTML, layout, and typography.
Since the beginning of the Web, there has been an unfortunate terminology problem in Web-design circles. Print and graphic designers, moving to the Web, brought with them a media-focused perspective on design. Traditional art and design schools focus considerable attention on mastery of media, and rightly so. However, this media-oriented way of thinking about design applies best to design problems that have little or no complex structure, no architecture to worry about. Jumping directly to the crafting of individual pages short-circuits the important planning phase that information architects soon recognized was required for Web sites more complex than a handful of pages. Again, this mirrors the experience of designers in the software-application world, where planning and prototyping is the primary design activity and where implementation is, subsequently, performed by programmers. Because Web implementation has historically been relatively easy at the front end, it has often been lumped together with the design process. For many graphic designers, who were recruited for Web design in the boom times, the design of a graphic image also means its implementation. However, to produce superior solutions, most commercial Web sites today require a greater division of labor between design/planning and implementation.
Myth #4: Web design is just about the front end.
Design concerns the whole of the product or service—not just what it does, but what it is and what goals it serves. This is no different for the Web; the design of the user's experience, her interaction with and perception of the system, implies that the system must be considered as a whole: how form, content, and behavior are presented by the front end, and what those behaviors must imply at the back end. Web design is concerned with visual design, information design, and interaction design, in near equal parts. The latter two, in particular, can have significant ramifications for the design of the back end of a transactional system.
Myth #5: Web design is about browsers.
Although the majority of Web applications currently run inside of browsers, change is already in the air. Internet-enabled software applications have existed for a long time, and with the advent of technologies like .NET, the number of Internet-enabled programs existing outside of browsers will rapidly expand. Besides desktop applications, device-based applications that incorporate wireless connectivity are already beginning to gain popularity as products like the Handspring Treo become available. Web-enabled software of any variety promises to deliver on the same kind of rich information and media access the Web provides without the constraints of browser-based interfaces. It is up to interaction designers and the product team to decide what platform is the most appropriate for a new product or service: browser or standalone application. Browsers work reasonably well for browsing. Complex transactions are better handled by more sophisticated interaction models with richer idioms at their disposal.
Myth #6: Web design is about Web pages.
Before the popularity of e-commerce, Web design was very much about page design. Of course, even then, it was also about overall site structure, logical flow, and navigation. The view of Web sites as hierarchies (and other-directed graphs) of reasonably static pages persists today, and this notion is reinforced by a body of work published about the discipline of information architecture. Clearly, there is still a place today for thinking about informational Web sites from the perspective of the page. This paradigm is, at the same time, fundamentally at odds with the way most highly-transactional Web applications are generated—dynamically from information retrieved from databases in real time. As front-end Web technology gets more sophisticated interaction capability, it makes less and less sense to treat dynamically generated screens as pages. Highly transactional Web applications are best considered as what they really are: client-server applications. Breaking out of the constraints of page-oriented thinking allows designers to better address the real goals and needs of users of transactional Web applications.
Myth #7: The Web and Internet are synonymous.
Early Web technologies (HTTP and HTML, in particular) were designed for transferring and formatting ASCII text and the occasional binary image in an asynchronous, request-driven manner. Web browsers and servers remain well suited to these kinds of operations, but not as well suited to transferring large amounts of heterogeneous data in a synchronous or streaming fashion. The Internet is a much more diverse network than the browser-accessible Web. Distributed applications that use Internet protocols (IP, TCP) can be much more flexible and powerful than browser-based Web applications.
Myth #8: Web applications are easier and faster to build than native desktop applications
HTML allows for fast prototyping and some information-oriented Web sites have simple behavior that permits rapid construction. However, a transactional Web application with complex behavior entails the same kind of engineering challenge as the development of native code, and inevitably it needs to be approached using a similarly robust design and development methodology.

Imagine an old industrial building somewhere in a corner of town (let's say, brunkville), turned into a noisy game hall where silly eighties actionmovie characters play pinball and oldschool computer games – loud blipping and beeping (…insert coins to continue…) – everything with an indie kung fu flick air and a very very bad taste in clothes an hair styling… All this has a matching DIY eighties soundtrack filled with dusty hip hop beats, grooving bluesrock and straight forward metal riffs, heroic lo-fi guitar soloing and weird synth sounds – yes, bad taste, but great fun! This should be played at high volume, preferably in a residential area: your neighbours want to enjoy it too! Nevermind mechanical errors, but beware of the revenge of the chickens… And know that violence on tv is only funny for those who are watching it… 🙂

|The Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM Zoom Lens is an incredibly versatile, lightweight, and compact lens designed specifically for digital SLR cameras with APS-C size sensors. The lens has a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range. It features a construction of 17 elements in 13 groups with glass that corrects for flare, ghosting and all types of aberrations. It produces high contrast and sharp images throughout the zoom range even at its maximum aperture. Sigma's OS (Optical Stabilization) feature allows you to shoot at shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible. This means your images will look sharper, even when shooting without a tripod in low existing light or at maximum range with a flash. This lens is also equipped with Sigma's Hyper-Sonic Motor (HSM) which provides for fast and quiet autofocusing. The Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 is ideal for many photo opportunities particularly landscapes and portraits, but with its wide focal range and a close focusing distance down to 11" (28cm) you can capture images with unique perspectives. It will quickly become one of the most important lenses in your gear bag. Note! Vignetting will occur if the lens is used with digital cameras with image sensors larger than APS-C size or 35mm SLR cameras. This lens is for use with digital cameras with APS-C size sensors only. 1 The DC designation on the barrel means that this is a special lens designed so that the image circle matches the smaller size (APS-C) of the image sensor of your digital SLR. Its specialized design gives this lens the ideal properties for digital cameras, including a compact size and lightweight construction. The 17-50mm f/2.8 offers Sigma's OS System (Optical Stabilization) that allows shooting at shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower than would be otherwise possible, for sharper handheld photography even in low-light situations. Constructed with 17 elements in 13 groups, it features FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass which is the highest level low dispersion glass available with extremely high light transmission. This glass has a performance equal to fluorite glass which has a low refractive index and low dispersion compared to current optical glass. FLD glass offers superior optical performance, equal to fluorite, at an affordable price. Its HSM (Hyper-Sonic Motor) ensures a quiet & high-speed auto focus. Sigma lenses are made in Japan.

New alcohol guidelines have been issued across the UK, tightening up the previous rules around what is regarded as "safe" drinking levels.
The advices advises that it's safest not to drink regularly more than 14 units per week, to keep health risks from drinking alcohol to a low level.
If you do drink as much as 14 units per week, it is best to spread this evenly over three days or more.
If you have one or two heavy drinking sessions, you increase your risks of death from long-term illnesses and from accidents and injuries.
The risk of developing a range of illnesses (including, for example, cancers of the mouth, throat and breast) increases with any amount you drink on a regular basis.
If you wish to cut down the amount you're drinking, a good way to help achieve this is to have several drink-free days each week.
There is also advice on limiting the total amount of alcohol you drink on any occasion:
Drink more slowly, drinking with food, and alternating with water.
Avoiding risky places and activities, making sure you have people you know around, and ensuring you can get home safely.
Binge drinking is, understandably, discouraged. Evidence shows that the "risks accelerate" from the point at which around five to seven units are drunk in one sitting. This includes the risk of accident or injury.
As well as the risk of accident and injury, drinking alcohol regularly is linked to long-term risks such as heart disease, cancer, liver disease, and epilepsy.
And if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, the safest approach is not to drink alcohol at all, to keep risks to your baby to a minimum - although the risk of harm to the baby is likely to be low if a woman has drunk only small amounts of alcohol before she knew she was pregnant or during pregnancy.
Women who find out they are pregnant after already having drunk during early pregnancy, should avoid further drinking, but should be aware that it is unlikely in most cases that their baby has been affected.
What has changed?
The last official guidelines on drinking were published in 1995 and much has changed since then.
Numerous studies have shown that alcohol is linked to cancer, with even low or moderate levels raising the risk of seven types of cancer, including breast, mouth and bowel cancer.
While the absolute risks may be small, the general agreement is that there is no longer a "safe" drinking limit for alcohol.
But, taking account of the fact that many people do enjoy a drink, the UK's chief medical officers have said that the risk of disease can remain "low" if people drink 14 or less units per week.
Examples of the recommended weekly intake of 14 units of alcohol:
14 single measures of spirits (ABV 37.5%)
Seven pints of average-strength (4%) lager
Nine and one-third 125ml glasses of average-strength (12%) wine
Seven 175ml glasses of average-strength (12%) wine
Four and two-thirds 250ml glasses of average-strength (12%) wine

Opportunities abound in the Land of the Rising Sun. Whether you are studying on one of Japan's four major islands (Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, or Shikoku), or exploring one of the other 4,000 islands comprising the archipelago, you will find a study abroad experience as unique as Japan's aggregation of traditional and modern (falling somewhere between the busy Tokyo streets and the nearby zen gardens).
Japan is a prosperous nation - the second largest economy in the world - but is much more than advanced technology or fancy electronics. From the postcard-perfect sights of Mt. Fuji to your first cup of sake to the dizzying speeds of the bullet train, Japan is a student's dream destination!
Still looking for more information? Two articles we recommend reading next are: What to Know Before Studying Abroad in Japan, and How Much Does it Cost to Study Abroad in Japan? After that come back here to continue exploring program options!
Check out the list below that highlights some of Japan's most popular study abroad destinations.
As home to over a quarter of Japan's population, Tokyo can be best described as "crowded," - crowded with people, opportunities, adventures! Asia's trendiest call Tokyo home. At the same time, when exploring this city, you will discover that some of its neighborhoods feel less urban and more like country-life plucked straight from rural areas and placed smack dab in the city. It is these contrasts that make Tokyo an ever-changing and exciting city. Tokyo has been named the most expensive city in the world, and is the financial backbone of not only Japan, but all of Asia. Tokyo has graced the world stage as one of the most modern cities in the world, and is a "must-visit" for every study abroad student in Japan! Explore Programs in Tokyo.
Steeped in history, Kyoto is home to innumerable shrines, museums, palaces, and temples (and 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites!). Some of Japan's oldest traditions, such as the tea ceremony, flower arranging, and geisha schooling originated in this city.
Located in the Kansai region of Japan, Kyoto is dedicated to preserving Japan's oldest traditions, yet it is also an energetic, contemporary city. Modern conveniences are readily available, making Kyoto a perfect destination for study abroaders looking to explore Japan's past without sacrificing the familiar comforts of home. Explore Programs in Kyoto.
While certainly the most popular, Tokyo and Kyoto aren't the only cities in which to study abroad in Japan. Read out article about the The 5 Best Cities for Studying Abroad in Japan.
How to Choose a Program
The secret to any successful study abroad experience begins with research, so you're already off to a great start! Now let's take a look at some useful information that will get you one step closer to eating sushi, singing karaoke, and improving your kanji in Japan.
Language-intensive courses are at the heart of study for many overseas students, and understandably so! Living in Japan will give you many chances to put those language skills to use—practice your Japanese with the locals and engage them in conversation, even if it just over the price of soba noodles versus udon!
Japan's strong education system has significantly impacted the country's transformation over the last century into the economic powerhouse it is today. Acquiring Japanese language skills will open up many opportunities for internship and career opportunities, as fluency in English and Japanese is a desired skilled for many multinational companies that operate in Japan.
When you select a study abroad program, consider the differing types of accommodation offered. Some programs will give you many options, while others will have only pre-arranged accommodation available. It's also possible that you will choose a program that expects you to find your own housing. Don't worry though -- you have options.
CIEE only offers homestay options to their students, claiming this living situation, "provides students with an unparalleled opportunity for language acquisition, cultural immersion, and local community involvement." The Center for Study Abroad (CSA) offers all accommodation types for their students.
Immersion and Cultural Activities:
Some program providers will include extra activities in their program costs to enable both community building and extensive learning. If you prefer to have a more independent program, I would recommend finding a program that gives you more freedom to decide how to fill your time. If you want all of your Japanese ducks in a row even before you leave America, then a program with many cultural activities included is more suitable.
IES Abroad's program in Tokyo includes many field trips to places of historical and cultural significance, including a five day homestay in the city of Mobara to see first hand Japanese familial life. CSA's summer program in Japan organizes and offers excursions such as a trip to Mt. Fuji, a lesson in tea ceremonies, a night of Kabuki, and international student parties. All activities are optional and available for an added cost. Another approach is just to include all program activities in the overall costs; GlobaLink's program at Asia Pacific University in Japan includes an overnight trip to Nagasaki, and scavenger hunts around Beppu with your pre-arranged Japanese study buddy!
Looking for more information? We got you covered with a whole article dedicated to Weekend & Day Trips for Students Studying Abroad in Tokyo.
The price tag for a semester in Japan may be a little steeper than some of its other Asian counterparts. Don't let the cost hold you back - besides budgeting and planning, the following scholarships may free up some space so you can spend your yen on a new manga comic!
- The JASSO scholarship is funded by the Japanese government and available to students studying abroad for one year in Japan.
- The Bridging Foundation offers a scholarship for study abroad in Japan for American undergraduate students majoring in any field of study. Awards are up to $4000 and are not applicable for summer programs.
- The Freeman-Asia award provides needs-based funding to American students studying in Japan for semester, year, or summer programs.
- As a non-profit, the various USAC study abroad scholarship opportunities aim for students to gain international experience -- without breaking the bank.

Children growing up in rural areas, around animals and in larger families seem to develop asthma less often than do other children. According to the hygiene hypothesis, this is due to increased exposure to particular viruses, bacteria or parasites.
The hygiene hypothesis proposes that childhood exposure to germs and certain infections helps the immune system develop. This teaches the body to differentiate harmless substances from the harmful substances that trigger asthma. In theory, exposure to certain germs teaches the immune system not to overreact.
But preventing asthma isn't as simple as avoiding antibacterial soap, having a big family or spending time on the farm. For one thing, a number of microbes — such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) — may cause asthma rather than prevent it. In addition, infections that might help prevent asthma can cause a number of other health problems. The type of germ isn't the only factor that plays a role, either. The severity of an infection and when the infection occurs during childhood also appear to matter.
For now, more research is needed to understand exactly how childhood germ exposure might help prevent asthma.

Exiting spring, head coach Bill O'Brien firmly stated that neither Tyler Ferguson (pictured) nor Steven Bench had separated themselves in the race to replace Matt McGloin as Penn State's starting quarterback. With Bench transferring to USF, and with five-star 2013 signee Christian Hackenberg on his way, it was thought the competition would become a two-player chase.
At least for now, that particular summer camp storyline has officially been set.
In his latest depth chart released Thursday, O'Brien listed the quarterbacks as Ferguson followed by Hackenberg, but separated by an "OR." Thus, the two players will enter camp, which begins Aug. 5 after the players report the day before, as co-starters.
Ferguson was an early enrollee at Penn State this past January after spending the 2012 season at a California junior college. Hackenberg, on the other hand, comes to Happy Valley with a very heft recruiting résumé.
The five-star player was rated by Rivals.com as the No. 2 pro-style quarterback in the Class of 2013; the No. 3 player in the state of Virginia; and the No. 24 player in the country at any position. 247Sports.com was even higher on Hackenberg, rating him as the top player at his position as well as the No. 6 player overall.
"We have a very good feeling about our team this summer," O'Brien said in general, although he could very well have been talking specifically about the state of the most important position on a football field — and a certain incoming freshman who most expect will grab the starting by the throat from the get-go and run away with it.

Media had challenges covering Gretzky tradeby Tal Pinchevsky
When Wayne Gretzky was officially traded from the Edmonton Oilers to the Los Angeles Kings on Aug. 9, 1988, the announcement required not one, but two of the biggest press conferences in the history of sports.
Each was broadcast across North America. The first, in Edmonton, featured a vulnerable Gretzky bidding a tearful farewell to the Oilers. The second, in Los Angeles, featured "The Great One" triumphantly coming to L.A. in a show of Hollywood glitz.
Had it happened today, it probably would have played out online in a matter of minutes. Instead, it took a lot longer.
"There was no Twitter and there were no cell phones. So there was no communication," said Sportsnet's Mark Spector, who back then was a reporter for the Edmonton Journal. "It was nothing like it is today. Everything worked a little slower and not as electronically."
With stories needing to be filed hours in advance just to make it in the next day's newspaper, it could take some time for people to hear about a breaking news story. The advantage at that time was with radio and television, which had a shorter, more immediate deadline to work with.
Few people in the local or national media caught wind of the Gretzky news in time to report it for that day's newspaper. But there were a few local reporters in Edmonton who did manage to get the scoop in time for their story to be published the morning of the big announcement.
"I had something in the paper. The day before, I got some stuff out of [Oilers general manager Glen] Sather," Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal said. "We had something in the paper the day it happened."
Media from across the globe were expected to attend or watch the press conference in order to learn the details of what was quickly turning into one of the biggest sports stories in history. During an era when nationally televised live press conferences were rare, Gretzky's face was beamed across the continent.
"The thing I can remember is it was really new to be able to watch an event, a news conference from another country, on home television. It was really something that was a cool thing," said Frank Brown, the NHL's group vice president of public relations who was then working as a reporter with the New York Daily News. "There wasn't anything close to the saturation of availability. Obviously, this was an event that was deserving of that kind of coverage."
But real information was at a premium in Edmonton. In a room swarming with media, Gretzky was overcome with emotion and had difficulty sharing his thoughts. What's more, reporters were limited to 10 questions following statements from Gretzky and Oilers owner Peter Pocklington. When a photographer from the Journal took the time to thank Gretzky for his time in Edmonton, Oilers media relations counted it as one of the 10.
The difficult situation was exacerbated by the noticeable absence of longtime Oilers media relations director Bill Tuele, who was stuck in Phoenix after going on vacation at the most inopportune of times.
"There had been chatter about Gretzky being traded. In this particular case, the chatter was a little louder. There had been a lot of speculation," Tuele told NHL.com. "I asked Glen Sather if I should stay back. He was quite adamant that there was nothing going on. So off I went."
Reporters in L.A. didn't fare much better. The press conference in Los Angeles was fairly short and media in attendance were limited to two questions. But there was one reporter at the event who did manage to get quite a scoop.
"I was walking back to the hotel and I felt a tap on my shoulder. Somebody, I don't remember who, handed me a folded piece of paper. He said 'Wayne wanted you to have this,'" said Jay Greenberg, who was writing for the Philadelphia Daily News. "It was Wayne's new L.A. phone number and it said, 'Call me tomorrow.' He knew what a joke the press conference was. He saw what effort I took to get there and I knew him for a while. I called him the next day."
Greenberg got his exclusive, which was published in the Daily News almost two days after news of the historic Gretzky trade first broke. In today's online media landscape, many people would have moved on to the next story in that time. Back then, two days later was still considered breaking news.

We heard earlier on Wednesday that the Chiefs and Dolphins are again talking about a trade involving tackle Branden Albert and now we've heard what the sticking point is to getting a deal done.
Chiefs General Manager John Dorsey spoke to Steve Wyche of the NFL Network on Wednesday afternoon and confirmed that the two teams are talking about a trade. He also revealed that the major hang-up to signing off on the trade is a disagreement over trade compensation. Dorsey didn't say what the Chiefs were looking for, although several reports have them looking for at least a second-round pick. The Dolphins have two second-rounders — the 42nd and 54th picks — that could be used in a deal for Albert.
We may not know the particulars of what each team is proposing in terms of compensation, but it doesn't take much of a leap to suggest this one is going to come down to one side or the other blinking first. Dorsey said that the Chiefs aren't set on trading Albert no matter what, but it does seem like their preferred course of action with Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher looking like the likeliest choices with the first overall pick.
Even though the second round doesn't get underway until Friday night, there's some time pressure to get a deal done because Albert's back injury from last season makes a physical one more step that needs to be taken for a trade to go down.

EDIT: Corrected typo on model number from 975D to 957D, and to mention that I tested while the wand was out of the holder. - Ed K.
Dear Adafruit,
I purchased a product from Adafruit's web site last month (June 23, order # 1139337-8152914757) and I am sorry to report that it appears to be defective.
The product in question is the Hot Air Soldering Rework Station w/ Three Nozzles - Quick 957D, Adafruit Product ID: 1869.
I powered it up yesterday for the first time and after about 2 minutes of use, the air pump in the 957D stopped blowing air in the middle of my solder rework task. The lack of airflow seems to have caused the heating element in the tip of the 957D's wand to immediately overheat. There was smoke streaming out of the tip, along with the smell of burning insulator. I turned the 957D off and let it cool down for 10 minutes. I unplugged and then plugged the unit back into the wall socket and powered it up. The unit comes on (temperature display above the right knob lights up), but still no airflow at all, regardless of the position of the air flow knob (left knob). the wand was not in its cradle on the side of the 957D during this test as the airflow normally does not start until the wand is lifted off of its cradle.
I did not snap a photo at the time of the failure, too busy trying to keep the 957D from catching on fire. :)
But there is a photo posted by another forum user here that shows the same thing I experienced with respect to smoke coming from the tip.
The tip was at 400C when the airflow stopped so I am pretty sure the heater element is toast now, on top of whatever is causing the airpump failure.
As the unit was purchased only one month ago, I would like to return the defective unit for a replacement. Please let me know the next steps for replacing the unit.
--thank you,

After the German Pirate Party's String Of Successes, Here Comes The Backlash
from the it-was-bound-to-happen dept
Over the last few months, Techdirt has been reporting on the amazing rise of the German Pirate Party, with win after win after win. Politicians in the other parties have looked on aghast, powerless to halt the rise of something they clearly can't fathom. Inevitably, the fightback has finally begun, but packaged as an artists' revolt, not simply that of the copyright industries worried about their profit margins.
Perhaps the most dramatic manifestation of that was a major section in the Handlesblatt newspaper (German original) a few weeks ago. It was entitled "A hundred creatives provoke the Pirates", and included 160 statements on the subject of "My head belongs to me." That paints this as huge numbers of artists having their ideas taken away by the Pirates, but the reality was a little different.
Of those 160 statements, only 30 came from artists; the rest were from politicians, media companies, lawyers, academics and business groups (German original.) Unsurprisingly, most of those 130 statements were attempts to defend their own positions as gatekeepers of culture – often well-paid ones.
The artists' comments were little better. Here's a small selection:
The Pirate Party would never think to demand in the name of freedom that German bakers should in the future give away their bread, and have their baking sponsored by the state. (Gisa Klönne.)
The comments mainly consist of willful, or perhaps real, incomprehension of the digital world, combined with a sense of entitlement demonstrated by many artists. But there's also something new here, which the German magazine Der Spiegel analyzed as follows:
Free content is intellectual theft. (Thomas Weymar)
The Pirate Credo, that ideas can't belong to only one person, is good news for people who don't have any ideas of their own. (Frauke Scheunemann.)
Without protection for intellectual property there would be intellectual chaos. (Pater Anselm Grün.)
It's also true in the age of YouTube: without copyright, there can be no quality films or TV. (Franka Potente.)
Germany can't afford to turn the majority of its creators into hobbyists. (Carolin Otto.)
Artists can always be counted on when it comes to standing up for democracy and justice. Ever since [the Nobel Prize-winning writer] Günter Grass drummed up support for [former German Chancellor] Willy Brandt and the [left-wing party] SPD 40 years ago, Germany's intellectuals have congregated on the progressive side. When in doubt, they lean to the left, and participating in the cutting edge is considered a central duty.
The rise of the Pirate Party has suddenly revealed many of these "progressive", "cutting-edge" intellectuals to be just as keen on preserving their privileged position, and just as frightened of change, as they've mockingly accused the bourgeoisie and the conservatives of being in the past. Indeed, many of the artists' comments in the Handelsblatt section are little more than unoriginal variations on the old "get off my lawn" theme.
But their love affair with the Pirate Party is cooling off before it even had much of a chance to begin. In recent days, artists have spoken up one after another, expressing their unease at the movement's calls to deregulate all digital content.
That will come as a shocking realization for many artists who until now have believed themselves to be in the vanguard of society, and the champions of every kind of progress. The rise of the Pirate Party has called that into question -- hence the vitriol that it has encountered recently.
And it's not over yet. The Netzpolitik blog notes that another 100 artists have just signed a declaration in the leading newspaper Die Zeit, under the rubric, "A call against the theft of intellectual property". Just to hammer home the point, the term "theft" is used twice more in the text (German original), which points the finger at "global Internet companies" whose business models are based on the "appropriation" of artists' work, and demands that copyright protection be strengthened, rather than moderated.
Although it's disturbing to see this kind of poorly-informed mud-slinging, it does demonstrate one thing: that the Pirate Party is not just shaking the German political system to its foundations, but also challenging a whole range of cozy assumptions about copyright and creativity, and their role in modern society. Expect even more -- and dirtier -- attacks in the future.

We saw it on two different devices, though most of our time was on a Sprint HTC Mogul. Besides rendering media-heavy Giz with surprising snap (a feat that made the Instinct's browser cry), it churned out YouTube and Hulu videos like a champ. Zooming isn't quite as intuitive as Safari—you touch, a box pops up which you can drag around, then you touch again—but I was told they're working on making it more natural. Overall, it's definitely one for Windows Mobile users to watch, and we'll be getting some more time with it soon.

Looking Ahead
In recent days, Congressional leaders came together with an agreement to provide middle class tax relief and extend protection for two million unemployed Americans.
This agreement provides some relief for all of us who are frustrated with the gridlock that often dominates Washington.
It is also good news for the 98 percent of American families and 97 percent of small businesses who were protected from a tax increase.
At the same time, I am disappointed that Congress was unable to pass a multi-year Food, Farm and Jobs Bill.
Congress did extend some 2008 Farm Bill programs that will prevent a spike in the price of dairy and other commodities. However, the extension fails to provide any of the long-term certainty that we know is vital for rural America.
At the start of this New Year, my New Year's resolution is to redouble our efforts at USDA to achieve a strong and defensible safety net for producers in times of disaster; a comprehensive effort to build up the biobased economy; support for conservation efforts that are protecting our soil, water and forest land; increased resources for important agricultural research; and support for safer, more nutritious food for all Americans.
That's why I will continue to work with Congress to encourage passage of a comprehensive, multi-year Food Farm and Jobs Bill. Such legislation will help us at USDA to carry out our mission, and provide more certainty for those in rural America.
Our small towns and rural communities are too important to be left out or let down.
I look forward to continuing the effort to get this important work done without further delay.

You may have thought about starting a new tradition in your home during the holidays. One idea is to read Christmas poems together. These are poems written by everyone on the topic of Christmas. You can either look up poems, or write them yourselves. If you choose to look up poems, you should take time to consider your audience. If your audience is children, then you will want to choose a childrens poem. This is ensure that they understand what you have read to them. If your audience is adults, then you can read a poem from anywhere. Since they are adults, they can comprehend more.

Skin irritation & mucus in stool
My dog is a 6lb long haired chihuahua who is like my child. I'm starting to get worried... A couple days ago she started itching a lot, when I started to look into the places she was itching there are red bumps there and some are scabs from her itching so much. They're on her sides, back of her legs, and one on her head. I thought it was just spring allergies (can dogs get those?) we started giving her children's benedryl. Well, now she has stopped eating... All she would eat today was a little bit of cheese. She had a little bit of mucus in her stool and threw up a small amount of mucus.
We did change her food recently from beneful (heard about it causing liver issues) to simply noutrish which is all natural, just food ingredients and vitamins so I wasn't sure if she could really be allergic to anything in there. Does it sound like a food allergy?
I read up on mucus in stool and it said it could be worms?
My fiancé took her to the vet there other day and she said "oh she's fine, just a bug bite or a grass rash"... I feel like she just picked an answer shoved him out the door and took the money.
Any suggestions??? I want her to be happy.. I'm so worried.
If you don't trust the vet, get a reference from a friend or someone you know and go to another vet. You should NOT feel like the vet just took the cash and didn't give a crap.
It could just be the food though that is giving the dooger skin allergies.
But that's a big could given that it could also be something else.
I don't know how long it's been since the dog has stopped eating but if it's more than 1 day, then this requires another vet visit. If this were my dog, he would be seeing a new vet asap just to be safe.
Good luck!

I would look for another vet and take your baby right away.
Yes it could be allergies, or it could be a bug bite, but it could also be many other things and neither one of them should be treated as "oh she is just fine go home" specially if she has now stop eating.

Story highlights
- He will meet with his Cabinet before he leaves Venezuela again, he says
- The Venezuelan president says he is recovering from cancer
- Speculation has abounded about his health and political future
- Doctors have operated on him twice to remove cancerous tumors
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will fly to Cuba Saturday night to continue cancer treatment, he said Friday.
Chavez, speaking by telephone from Caracas with state-run VTV, had returned Thursday morning from his latest round of treatment on the island.
He will meet with members of his Cabinet before he leaves Venezuela again, he said Friday.
The announcement came a day after an emotional Chavez discussed his struggle with illness, tearing up at times as he spoke Thursday night at a Mass in western Venezuela.
"Christ ... give me life, because I still have things to do for the people and this country. Do not take me yet," he said.
At a service in his home state of Barinas, Chavez described cancer as "a true threat that marks the end of the path for many people. The end of the physical path, that's the truth."
But Chavez said that he was recovering, adding that he had "much faith, much hope, much willpower to defeat this threat, as many people have, with the help of God and medical science."
He ended his sometimes somber, sometimes jocular remarks at the Holy Thursday Mass with what he said was his message for God.
"Give me your crown, Christ, give it to me. Let me bleed. Give me your cross, 100 crosses, so I can carry them. But give me life, because I still have things to do for the people and this country," Chavez said. "Do not take me yet. Give me your cross, give me your thorns, give me your blood. I am prepared to carry it. But with life, Christ. Amen."
The 57-year-old president has not specified the type of cancer he is battling, and the government has released few specifics, fueling widespread speculation about his health and political future.
He had returned to Venezuela early Thursday after a second round of radiation treatment in Cuba.
Walking unaided, Chavez held court on the tarmac of the airport in Barinas, telling well-wishers who had gathered to welcome him that his treatment went well.
"So far, there has been no adverse reaction to the treatment; the body has assimilated it well," Chavez said. He was greeted by members of his family, government officials and supporters.
Until Thursday, Chavez had been in Cuba since March 31. Doctors in the Caribbean island nation have operated on him twice to remove cancerous tumors, Chavez has said.
Since the beginning of the year, Chavez has spent 34 days in Havana.
"All the tests I've undergone have given positive results suggesting physical recovery," he said Thursday on arriving at the airport.
The outspoken, flamboyant socialist leader has led Venezuela since 1999 and has pledged to run for re-election in October.
Venezuela's foreign ministry said Wednesday that Chavez spoke about his health in a lengthy phone conversation the day before with former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, who recently announced that his own cancer had gone into remission.
"President Chavez told his brother Lula that the treatment is going very well, and so is the political and economic situation of Venezuela," Venezuela's foreign ministry said in a statement summarizing the phone conversation.

If there's a Murphy's Law corollary for bike commuting, it's this: it will rain the hardest when it's the most inconvenient, which in my case is during the prolonged descent down Massachusetts, mixed with speeding car traffic. It sort of sucks, but I've developed some strategies: primarily, take the lane and go as slow or as fast as I need. It's difficult to strike a balance between following too closely (need room to brake) and following too far behind (giving drivers changing lanes or turning the appearance that they can do so with little impact when, in fact, it might result in great impact, namely my impact into their automobiles). And then there's the slippery manhole covers, which I might do slightly too much to try to avoid.
I'm almost never honked at (excuse my prepositional ending). I don't know why this is, but I'm grateful. I'd like to attribute it to skill, but there's really no skill in this, but just dumb luck. Maybe traveling on streets with bike lanes makes a difference in that I have a proper "place" on the roadscape. For what it's worth, I'm willing to go a block or two out of my way to ride in a bike lane, something that I'm not sure others so willingly embrace. I often see people riding on roads that I would never take, mostly because I'd rather choose the slight inconvenience of traveling one block extra to my final destination than deal with the major inconvenience of squeezing between impatient drivers and a crummy door zone. But maybe that's just me. In my experience, it's not only more pleasant to ride in bike lanes (dedicated space is dedicated space, even if it's less than ideal), but it's also a socially useful act that shows motorists and city agencies that bike lanes are appreciated and not unused (double negatory!).
Nobody else on Q. Nobody else on 14th. In both case, I mean nobody on bikes. And I guess that's not completely true, since I saw a woman on a CaBi crossing 14th by Thomas Circle, maybe just having come fom the newly installed bikeshare station.
14th is the street of potential right hooks. Four intersections, four turning drivers. Not sure I'm going to keep it up. I'll take the scrum of lower 11th, which is at least kind of wide, to the likelihood of getting nailed by a turning taxi.
Today was a voluble ride and I couldn't help myself. The most common word I say while riding is "no" followed by "please" followed by "stop" followed by "rutabaga" (one of those isn't true). My talking, to be clear, isn't meant to be actual communication, but more a shamanistic mumbling, like casting a spell to ward off potentially negligent drivers. I can't say to what extent it works.
Rode through the bollards on Madison Place (For those of you who don't happen to live here or don't frequently consult maps, the bollards by Madison Place, Lafayette Park, and the White House are all the same security bollards). In either case, they were tapeless and I rode through, looking over to the security guard, but not really showing any sign of recognition. He looked up, mouth agape, but I don't think there was anything much that he wanted to say. He was pale in the unforgiving, antiseptic fluorescent light.
It wasn't an anomaly or maybe it was just a different bike cop, but he (or someone else) was still (or for the first time) lightless. I know that you're the "secret service," but your secrecy doesn't need to be amplified through lack of luminescence.
If the stoplights on Pennsylvania were timed for bicyclists, it would make my life.
I rode behind another bike commuter on East Capitol. Well-lighted, double-panniered, fancy-ish bike jacket, some kind of head wrapping underneath the helmet, going just fast enough. There's really no #bikeDC type, but this is kind of it.

Joseph Sestak, former congressman and retired U.S. Navy three-star admiral, has been named as the 2013-14 recipient of the General Omar N. Bradley Chair in Strategic Leadership. While in residence, Sestak will conduct classes at Penn State University Dickinson School of Law and School of International Affairs, Dickinson College, and the U.S. Army War College.
Sestak's distinguished 31-year career in the U.S. Navy included commanding the George Washington Aircraft Carrier Battle Group consisting of 30 ships during combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. He also served as President Bill Clinton's director for defense policy on the National Security Council and oversaw the navy's five-year, $350 billion warfare budget as deputy chief of naval operations. Sestak also served as the first director of "Deep Blue," the navy's counterterrorism unit.
Sestak served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for two terms, from 2007 to 2011, representing Pennsylvania's seventh congressional district. He served on the Armed Services and Education and Labor committees and as vice chairman of the Small Business Committee. According to the Office of the House Historian, he is the highest-ranking military officer ever elected to Congress.
In 2010, Sestak won the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary with a victory over incumbent Senator Arlen Specter but lost his U.S. Senate bid to Republican Pat Toomey in the general election. Most recently, Sestak served as distinguished practice professor in the School of Public Policy & Management at Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College, where he taught ethical leadership and a policy practicum titled "Restoring the American Dream and Its Political Platform."
He is the recipient of the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal, two Legion of Merit awards, two Meritorious Service Medals, Joint Service Commendation Medal, three Navy Commendation Medals and the Navy Achievement Medal. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Sestak holds a master's degree in public administration and a doctorate in political economy and government from Harvard University.
Named in memory of the World War II hero, the General Omar N. Bradley Chair in Strategic Leadership provides a visiting scholar the opportunity to explore with students and faculty the nature of leadership and how it can best and most ethically be exercised in a world transformed by globalization, technology and cultural change. The chair also seeks to enhance the study of leadership and encourage civilian-military dialogue; and contribute to the educational and research activities of the partner institutions.
A joint initiative among the U.S. Army War College, Dickinson College and Penn State University Dickinson School of Law and School of International Affairs, the General Omar N. Bradley Chair in Strategic Leadership has been held by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and journalist Rick Atkinson; Richard Kohn, a nationally recognized expert in the relationship between civilian leadership and the military officer corps; Navy Admiral Dennis Blair; and Phillip "P.J." Crowley, former assistant secretary of state for public affairs.
