Logitech USB Dongle help?
I'm not sure if this would work but does anyone know what board the usb dongle for the logitech ps3 controller uses i tried looking around and have got nothing except it works on the computer as a USB HID so would i neeed to use amtel and try to load different firmware if possible and would it be fixable if screwed up?
10-06-2010 #2IndyColtsFan84 Guest
don't waste your time, buy a compatible board or a TI-84. I went with TI-84 off ebay for $38 bux free shipping. I have bought 1 for myself & 4 others for friends from the this seller, shipping is a bit slow but worth the wait.
10-07-2010 #3Rand023 Guest
oh no i have mine modded with a ipod 5g video but i already had the controller so was gonna see if that worked cause the boards get updated way faster then the ipod.
10-07-2010 #4NinjaOptimus Guest
or for $30 you can buy a ps3break (make sure you buy a genuine one).
will save you the hassle of having to plug in a big calculator or your iDevice to ps3 all the time.
i'm happy with my Minimus stays there plugged in all the time no pluggin unpluggin

a logitec dongle is only going to be an rf device paired with a usb port, which is nothing to do with being programable for other uses. you need something which has a brain, not just a simple function.

My favorite book would have to be Sales Dogs by Blair Singer. By the time I had read that book I had been in sales for several years. I had read many sales books prior to that. I have to say Sales Dogs changed my life. I am sure you would agree with me, it is not what you sell that determines your success or failure, it is how you sell it. It is how you help a person purchase your product or service. Every sales book I read taught me to know my product, how to use tie-downs, and memorize closing techniques. Those thing are great, don't get me wrong. Sales Dogs however, taught me about who I was as a salesperson, and how to create relationships with my customers. Not all sales people are created equal. We have different personalities and sales styles. It taught me how to be myself. As sales people we are under a lot of pressure to sell they way our managers want us to sell. When you try to emulate someone else's style you come off as phony or deceptive. As a sales person that is the worse thing you can do. I have to say it cost me a lot of sales. Once I was honest about who I was and, what my intentions were with my customers, people started to open up. The walls started to come down. They did not feel like they were being sold. It gave me more time to create rapport and ask questions. The old ways of "how can I get you in this car today?" are gone. People see right through that. It taught me to become the person people want to buy from. I highly recommend the book to anyone who is in business, not just sales people.

Bridge Energy Production on Track
Anglo-Norwegian junior explorer Bridge Energy reported Thursday that its production was in line with expectations during the first three months of the year, when Bridge saw net production of 1,110 barrels of oil equivalent per day (1Q 2012: 873 boepd).
Bridge confirmed that its Mjøsa exploration well on Norwegian production license 511 is currently being drilled, while its Amol prospect on PL457 is expected to begin drilling in the third quarter of this year. Mjøsa is targeting estimate resources of 14 million barrels of oil equivalent.
The firm also confirmed that it expects near-term drilling to take place on both its Boa and Duart assets in the North Sea in 2014 and 2015. Meanwhile, discussions are ongoing regarding potential farm-in partners for its Vulcan East, Vulcan North West and Vulcan South licenses.
During the first quarter the UK Cormorant East field came on production 85 days after its discovery. Bridge confirmed it is currently undergoing testing through a six-month depletion phase.
Bridge CEO Tom Reynolds commented in a statement:
"In the first quarter of 2013, we have focused on building from a strong 4Q 2012. The remapping of the Asha discovery, subsequent increase in resource estimates and likely unitization with the Ivar Aasen field development has created significant value as well as expanding the options available to Bridge to achieve business growth.
"With our production on track, we continue to pursue various options to deliver increased growth of our business, both organically and via acquisition. In addition, exciting development options exist within our existing portfolio and we will continue to progress these options through 2013, in order to unlock this value.
"Having kick-started our 2013 exploration program with the recent spud of Mjøsa, we look forward to progressing the other growth options over the year to come."

Hallmark Alta Vista Flooring in Malibu
This post has been a long time coming. We started on this modern farmhouse home last summer, and I slowly put a lot of my heart and design touches in it. This project was kind of my baby in 2016, and I'm so happy with how it turned out. This home was a spec home, which means we built it for someone else to buy it. This house ended up selling midway through the build and turned into more of a custom home in the end. It was super fun to work with our clients to combine my vision for this home with their vision.
As the Design Director for Oakstone Homes, I pay most attention to the details—the fixtures, the woodwork, the colors. One of the things I focus the most on most is finding the perfect flooring. For this house I did a ton of research and fell in love with Hallmark Floors. All of their collections are gorgeous! The wood flooring in this home is by Hallmark Floors from their Alta Vista Hardwood Collection and is crafted by genuine French White Oak . I'm a sucker for anything French White Oak. The color is Malibu, but one of the things I love most, is that the collection known for its length and width. Who does love wide plank wood flooring? The wood is cut and wire brushed 100% by hand, which is such a unique feature that you don't see anywhere else. I think I'm going to try the color Laguna in our next spec home and of course, when Brandon and I built our next house in the next year or so, we will definitely be putting Hallmark Floors in our home.
In the home, the front door leads to a custom black iron stair rail that I designed, shiplap walls & farmhouse lights. The open-concept main floor has 20ft, vaulted, barn wood ceiling with a living room, kitchen and dining combo. Another one of my favorite features is all of the natural light that floods in from the oversized Pella windows. I could go on and on about this gorgeous space, but I'll let the pictures below do the talking.

Goodyear Dunlop Tyres has appointed Dominque Golsong as its European legal chief.
Golsong, the former associate general counsel of Dow Corning Corporation, the silicones and silicones-based products, technologies and services company, joined the US tyre giant last month as legal counsel.
He replaced Philip Regnault, who retired after three years with Goodyear Dunlop.
In his new position, Golsong is responsible for Goodyear Dunlop's EU strategic business unit as well as the Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa strategic business unit.
It remains unclear what impact, if any, Golsong's appointment will have on Goodyear Dunlop's relationships with external legal advisers. It is understood that the company has relationships with a number of firms, including US firms Covington & Burling and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton.
Prior to Dow Corning, Golsong was a corporate lawyer in Linklaters' Brussels office, after which he joined New York-based firm Sullivan & Cromwell.
Golsong was unavailable for comment.

LANGLEY, BC, December 20, 2012 — RoadKill Radio host and noted citizens' rights advocate Kari Simpson has laid down the gauntlet before the Canadian Judicial Council, a publicly-financed body formed under the Judges Act, which is supposed to protect public confidence in Canada's judiciary by monitoring the conduct of judges and investigating complaints about federally-appointed judges.
On August 24 of this year, Simpson wrote to the CJC in an attempt to clarify their previous, if any, involvement of matters related to complaints about Justice Marvyn Koenigsberg of the BC Supreme Court. Justice Koenigsberg was Simpson's controversial trial judge in a case that forms part of a pending complaint by Simpson to the CJC. Simpson did not receive any response.
Simpson then wrote to Chief Justice McLachlin as CJC Chairperson on October 6, 2012, requesting answers to her simple query. No response was forthcoming.
On November 26, 2012 she sent another correspondence to the CJC asking Norman Sabourin, Executive Director of the CJC, to answer the crucial questions related to the CJC's possible bias. Simpson sought to determine whether or not the CJC had previous involvement in investigating or reviewing information about Justice Koenigsberg. Due to the serious nature of her pending complaint—as it not only captured Koenigsberg J but also members of the Supreme Court of Canada—Simpson also proposed a remedy to the bias problem if it existed: a joint request to the Justice Minister for a Parliamentary inquiry
The CJC finally replied to Simpson on November 26, 2012, but failed to answer the simple questions she had posed. Instead, Norman Sabourin, Executive Director for the CJC, made a bizarre finding that the letter of inquiry was an "abuse of the complaints process" and as such, stated that he was refusing to open a file.
The problem is that Simpson's letter had specifically stated that the information contained therein was not to be considered as a complaint, and she did not request a file to be opened.
"The response I received from Mr. Sabourin confirms reports that the CJC fears public scrutiny and the public criticisms are justified," says Simpson. "They're not accountable to anyone. The legal scheme by which they operate works more like a scam."
Sabourin refers to Simpson's claims that Koenigsberg J and Chief Justice McLachlin et al are liars and judicial cheats as "having no foundation," despite being provided with the facts. Simpson, undeterred, responded today. She pointedly confronts the CJC with challenges that have serious legal implications for the Chief Justice and other named judges, if true.
Simpson ups-the-ante and directs Sabourin to personally advise the judges of her very "public" statements.
Simpson also informs Sabourin of her intent to file a Judicial Review of any determination that results in dismissal by the CJC of her impending complaint. Alternatively, in the circumstance of admitted or perceived bias of the CJC, she advises:
I would be agreeable to pursuing an alternative forum for an independent, objective investigation into my complaint that is agreed upon by all affected parties, such as my previously suggested Parliamentary inquiry.
The CJC has been the target of growing criticism for acting more like a judicial goon—a protectionist gatekeeper—than its touted claims of ensuring judicial accountability.
"Clearly I am not the first to raise the alarm about what is transpiring in the courts," says Simpson. "The court is broken, injustice abounds and the public's trust and confidence in our judiciary is compromised. This is not an acceptable situation for our civil democracy. The administration of justice needs to be fixed."

"He [said] 'My son, his career is taking off, and I need some help,'" Coach K told Pollstar. "He said, 'Have you ever heard of Lil Yachty? … Well, Miles (my son) is Lil Yachty.'"
Photo: AP Photo/David Goldman
Lil Yachty
Coach was floored. It turned out he had known Lil Yachty since the artist was a child. He quickly signed on as Yachty's manager in February and got him onto Quality Control. The young rapper's popularity has since exploded.
"From a touring perspective, it's just been incredible the way his trajectory has gone," agent Jacqueline Reynolds-Drumm of ICM Partners said. "Coach was really smart about how to first tour him. … [He said] let's play small rooms and sell them out. … his fans are young; let's be wary of ticket price."
It turned out the young artist was so in demand that the first batch of tickets to his headline tour sold out in one weekend.
"The pure pandemonium, kids knowing the songs word for word, just totally vested in what he is saying, what he is doing … it's something to see. ... The way these kids react to him, the movement and the energy, it's something special," Yves Pierre of ICM Partners told Pollstar.
Lil Yachty released his first mixtape, Lil Boat, earlier this year, and followed with Summer Songs 2. He also collaborated on tracks with artists like Chance The Rapper and scored a hit with D.R.A.M.'s "Broccoli."
Coach K said Yachty personally nurtures a strong connection with his fans through social media.
"He really has conversations with his fans through social media. … From the time I signed him in February … he had 15,000 followers on Instagram. … Now he has 1.4 million."
Yachty already opened for Rae Sremmurd and Young Thug in 2016. Now, Reynolds-Drumm and Pierre said the plan is to strengthen Yachty as a headlining force and to take on some festival appearances in the summer. He has been selling out rooms of 1,000 to 2,500 with just him and his Sailing Team on the bill.

What is Masters swimming?
swimming for adults. Abilities are split by lane. group motivation and
available coaching make a huge difference.
Am I fast
Yes, if you can swim you will be ok. If you are really not
sure if you can swim there are beginner and improver sessions at Gurnell
Leisure Centre on Monday evenings. Beginners: Group 1 are complete
beginners and swim from 9-9.30pm. Group 2 swim from 9.30-10pm. Improvers:
Can I (I want to) only swim front crawl?Mostly. The
faster lanes tend to swim more strokes more of the time, as it is more fun
and also builds up your overall strength. The slower lanes have some
swimmers that are less comfortable with the other strokes and so more of
the time may be spent on Crawl, but there are kicking and drills (suitable
to the ability of the lane).
What do I need to bring?You can
bring all your swim toys (Paddels, float, pullboy, snorkel...) that are
probably frowned upon by your local swimming pool - but you do not need
anything more than a swim suit and goggles.
Any questions to email@example.com

Toronto Pearson International Airport breaks daily snowfall record
Digital Reporter
Wednesday, February 5, 2014, 7:20 PM -
A Texas low arrived in southern Ontario early Wednesday morning bringing dangerous travel conditions to the area and setting a new daily snowfall record.
Snow continued to fall throughout the afternoon Wednesday, with some parts north of Toronto Pearson International Airport accumulating up to 14 cm of snow, replacing the previous daily snowfall record set back in 2011 at 11.6 centimetres.
RELATED: Winter storm slams southern Ontario. Atlantic Canada next.
"So far this winter, Pearson has picked up 87.7 cm of snow," says Weather Network meteorologist Brian Dillon.
"That's above normal for this time of year."
It's been a cold winter across parts of North America -- and that's having an impact on just about everything -- from wildlife, to airports, to the Great Lakes.
"Ice coverage on the Great Lakes this year is at about 76 percent," Dillon says.
"Normal for this time of year is about 30 percent. The extra ice coverage can be contributed to the conditions we've seen this winter."

Mission: Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
Helpful (888)
I have been working at Google full-time (More than a year)
* If you're a software engineer, you're among the kings of the hill at Google. It's an engineer-driven company without a doubt (that *is* changing, but it's still very engineer-focused).
* The perks are amazing. Yes, free breakfast, lunch, an dinner every weekday. Aaaaaamazing holiday parties (at Waldorf Astoria, NY Public Library, MoMA, etc.); overnight ski trips to Vermont; overnight nature trips to the Poconos in the summer; summer picnics at Chelsea piers; and on and on and on. I don't see this going away unless the company starts hurting financially.
* Speaking of which, the company is doing quite well, which reflects in bonuses and equity grants.
* There a huge diversity of work ranging from defending independent journalism worldwide (Google Project Shield) to crisis response during disasters (see Maps during Hurricane Sandy or Tsunamis), to the best machine learning experts and projects in the world, to more mundane revenue-driving projects in advertising, there's really something for everybody.
* It's easy to move around within the company as long as you're in good standing (the vast majority of engineers are).
* The company is amazingly open: every week Larry Page and Sergey Brin host what's called TGIF where food, beer, wine, etc. is served, a new project is presented, and afterward there's an open forum to ask the executives anything you want. It's truly fair game to ask anything, no matter how controversial, and frequently the executives will be responsive.
* No, nobody cares if you use an iPhone, Facebook, shop with Amazon, stream using Spotify, or refuse to use Google+. The company is amazingly open and flexible.
Neither pro nor con, but general information on work-life balance, promotions, and advancement.
* Work life balance can be what you want it to be on most teams. (Some teams are in more competitive sectors and require more crazy hours all the time - but very few of them). If you do what's expected, you'll be fine at least for a handful of years. Working a roughly 40 hour work week is possible, and many people do it. There are also people who are hyper-motived and work like crazy just because they love it, or because they're competitive, or they want to get a promotion. If you work 40 hour weeks without putting in anything extra, you'll fall behind them as they advance and you stand still - and maybe that doesn't matter, so it works out for everybody. But at least know where you would realistically stand.
* If you excel and work your butt off, you'll be compensated and promoted. If you let yourself be a code monkey, and just sit coding with your head down all day, you'll be fine but won't advance. A big complaint from some Googlers is about not being able to advance "even at Google" with pure coding. Sure, if you're the uber genius who created MapReduce and Bigtable, you're going to advance like a rocket without having to do anything but coding; but if you're like most engineers at Google -- smarter than average, but just average compared to other Googlers -- you're just a good coder and not revolutionary. Code monkeys are important to actually get stuff done, and to be sure you absolutely need to be a good coder as a software engineer (it's the minimum requirement), but code monkeys won't advance because they're not leaders and they're easy to replace. To get promoted you need to lead and do more than just code. There are plenty of ways to lead other than being an official tech lead, so this isn't actually _that_ hard, so the real point is just that you can't just sit there coding what other people tell you to code all day and expect to advance.
* It *is* becoming larger, and with it comes growing pains: bureaucracy, slow to respond to market threats, bloated teams, cross-divisional tension (though nothing remotely approaching that of Microsoft's internal tension).
* The quality of the engineers is possibly dropping, but possibly not. It's hard to get real metrics, because as the absolute number of people grows, naturally the number of bad apples grows; as a percentage it's supposedly the same as it ever was, but with larger numbers of poorer quality engineers it just _feels_ like things might be changing for the worse.
* Also with growth means more internal-confidential data leaks (again, because of the raw numbers of people) -- product announcements being ruined, etc. That means the company has to be tighter-lipped internally to avoid leaks, which makes things less open. It's still an amazingly open place, but less so than it was even a couple years ago. The good thing is they recognize it and actively look to improve things because they know how important it is to keep the good culture.
Advice to Management
Keep the focus on the user. Everything else will follow.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in April 2014.
Direct onsite because I interviewed in the past and did well that time. From the time I sent my resume to interview day: 2 weeks. From interview day to offer over the phone: 2 weeks.
The syllabus for the interviews is very clear and simple:
1) Dynamic Programming
2) Super recursion (permutation, combination,...2^n, m^n, n!...etc. type of program. (NP hard, NP programs)
3) Probability related programs
4) Graphs: BFS/DFS are usually enough
5) All basic data structures from Arrays/Lists to circular queues, BSTs, Hash tables, B-Trees, and Red-Black trees, and all basic algorithms like sorting, binary search, median,...
6) Problem solving ability at a level similar to TopCoder Division 1, 250 points. If you can consistently solve these, then you are almost sure to get in with 2-weeks brush up.
7) Review all old interview questions in Glassdoor to get a feel. If you can solve 95% of them at home (including coding them up quickly and testing them out in a debugger + editor setup), you are in good shape.
8) Practice coding--write often and write a lot. If you can think of a solution, you should be able to code it easily...without much thought.
9) Very good to have for design interview: distributed systems knowledge and practical experience.
10) Good understanding of basic discrete math, computer architecture, basic math.
11) Coursera courses and assignments give a lot of what you need to know.
12) Note that all the above except the first 2 are useful in "real life" programming too!
Interview 1:
Graph related question and super recursion
Interview 2:
Design discussion involving a distributed system with writes/reads going on at different sites in parallel.
Interview 3:
Array and Tree related questions
Interview 4:
Designing a simple class to do something. Not hard, but not easy either. You need to know basic data structures very well to consider different designs and trade-offs.
Interview 5:
Dynamic programming,
Computer architecture and low level perf. enhancement question which requires knowledge of Trees, binary search, etc.
At the end, I wasn't tired and rather enjoyed the discussions. I think the key was long term preparation and time spent doing topcoder for several years (on and off as I enjoy solving the problems).
Conclusion: "It's not the best who win the race; it's the best prepared who win it."
You can and should negotiate politely. You are in a stronger position if you have another offer, but even otherwise, you should ask for more of every type of payment!

Not all that long ago, you could guarantee that your doctor wouldn't even think about suggesting alternative medicine to treat you. But these days, even hospitals are offering things like acupuncture and reiki.
Hospitals are going alternative. Forty-two percent now offer at least one type of complementary or alternative medicine treatment, according to a recent survey by the American Hospital Association and the Samueli Institute, a nonprofit research organization that focuses on these treatments.
What hospitals choose to offer runs the gamut, from well-known therapies such as acupuncture to less familiar treatments like reiki, in which practitioners channel a patient's energy by placing their hands on or just above specific locations on the body.
Patient demand is the top reason hospitals offer complementary and alternative therapies, cited by 85 percent. Clinical effectiveness? That comes in second, at 70 percent.

Jakarta Papers Pan President's Picks
The reviews are in, and Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's new cabinet is looking like a disappointing sequel.
In Wednesday editorials in Indonesia's press, SBY was given the equivalent of a middling two out of five stars for his ministerial picks of the day before. Reaction ranged from disappointment to slight relief that at least picks included only a few politicians, who are generally unpopular and considered inept in Indonesia.

Software scalability
Scalability is the ability of a system to handle growing amounts of work in a capable manner. If a system is scalable it can be enlarged to accommodate increasing workload.
A software system is scalable if it can serve a more and more users without reducing performance, by adding other resources, usually hardware.
There is no easy recipe to make a generic application scalable, but you have to tailor that application and build it with scalability in mind since the beginning.
Here a list of well known methodologies::
- Scaling Up
- Basically, it consists on upgrading the hardware where your application is running (eg. faster processors, faster hard-drives, etc.). It can do well in the short-term, but if your project requires new resources constantly, it may turn to a recipe for a disaster.
- Scaling Out
- Adding hardware resources in response to the growing workload. This type of scalability can be categorized in three types:
- horizontal scalability, you add new machines when the workload grows.
Eg.: in high read-write ratio systems, you can scale out by data replication.
- functional partitioning, or division of duties, means reserving different resources to different tasks.
Eg.: you can obtain it by webservice architectures (SOA).
- data sharding refers to split a single entity into smaller pieces.
Eg.: data splitting by geographical location.
- horizontal scalability, you add new machines when the workload grows.
- Scaling Back
- You archive and purge unneeded data. It can be a good short-term strategy to buy time.
- Scaling by Clustering
- A cluster consists of several hosts configured to appear as a single server.
Eg.: database cluster architecture like MySql Cluster.
In the following diagram we can see an example of horizontal scalability for read write high ratio systems.
Each web server uses the master database for writing and a random replica database for reading. A load balancer is properly configured to send stateless requests to the databases.
The diagram below shows an example of functional partitioning:
Application data is split by content type (Forum, News) or by operational functions (Login).
The next diagram is an oversimplified example of data sharding:
user's data is split in three databases by userid.
Load balancing, server proxy and data caching are some of the technologies used to increase or make possible system scalability.
Scalability must be designed from the inception of the system, or any strategy you choose can be transformed in a bottleneck in the medium to long-term.
Scaling out is a must for real scalability, but you have to make your choices with real workload in mind, and without overengineering.
As a rule of thumb, keep everything simple.

I've posted Entry #101 to my weekly Valuation-Informed Indexing column at the Value Walk site. It's called Why Do So Few Blame Buy-and-Hold for the Economic Crisis?
Juicy Excerpt: We all played a part in causing this crisis. Even those of us who refused to buy stocks at insanely high prices failed to speak up against the bull market in clear and firm and bold terms. We are not idiots. We knew the crazy bull prices couldn't be real. Now we look at the human misery we have caused and want to kick ourselves. The last thing we want to do is to examine the role we played in bringing on this mess

The following is my inner dialogue as I try to establish whether this guy I'm looking at talking to his friends on the L train bound for Brooklyn is in fact season 1's runner-up of FOX's American Idol, Justin Guarini.
That guy looks like Justin Guarini.
He has Justin Guarini's facial features.
Is he the right age for Justin Guarini?
I think this is Justin Guarini.
No, I really think this is Justin Guarini.
Am I racist for thinking this is Justin Guarini?
Is Justin Guarini a race that I can be racist toward?
Is Justin Guarini a mixed-race person?
Is that racist to say? I feel like 'mixed-race' just sounds racist.
Can blackish be a term without it being offensive?
This guy looks blackish.
His hair is curly; it looks like what it would look like if you cut Justin Guarini's hair.
Justin cut his hair once and he came back to American Idol. I don't remember what it looked like.
I know this isn't racist, but is it along the same sort of thinking to think that just because this guy's hair kinda looks like Justin Guarini's hair short, that this would be Justin Guarini?
He looks really young. Maybe it's not him, only because this guys seems to look really young for how old Justin Guarini should look now.
How old does Kelly Clarkson look? Women age better than men, right? Or is it the other way around? Does Kelly Clarkson specifically age better than Justin Guarini?
Is Kelly Clarkson a good role model for young women?
Justin to Kelly was pretty bad.
Justin Guarini's performance of "Let's Stay Together" was all I could think of when I saw Obama sing "Let's Stay Together."
Is THAT racist?
He's standing now. He's tall enough to be Justin Guarini. I also think he's old enough to be Justin Guarini. He's not too young; he's just aged really well. I mean, he was a star for a while.
Oh yeah, he was a star for a while...
He was famous.
He was like one of the first reality TV stars.
Now he's not. Now he's sitting on the L Train headed into Brooklyn with me and all these New Yorkers. Is he from New York? Did he move to New York? What happened to Justin Guarini?
How sad if this is Justin Guarini. I liked him. There wasn't much to not like about Justin Guarini. He wasn't gonna win Idol, but he certainly wasn't offensively bad in any way. But this is just what happens, I guess. Maybe this is why we shouldn't invest so much hate and ill-will toward TV personalities who have no business being famous. Because it doesn't take much time before those people are gone from the public eye, are removed from the social consciousness, and excised from the pop culture frame of reference. And then they return to their normal lives, their lives from before they were famous, though never quite the same because they had their moment in the sun. If this is really Justin Guarini, how long did it take for him to no longer be recognized on the street? No one even bothers to look at him now, save for one young man who's trying not to look like he's staring and is arguing with himself about whether or not this is actually him.
Does it make him sad that he's no longer recognized? Or is he somewhat okay with this passage of time, with his new place in the universe? What is a has-been really, but someone who once had something that most of us can say we never even had?
Is there something to be said about everyone's own inevitable slide into irrelevance, the ownership of the world never resting for too long with any single generation, the torch relay's faces blurring together in an endless line of features and expressions?
It doesn't matter now whether or not objectively this is Justin Guarini, because my own mind has been made up and in eight stops I've crafted his entire rise and fall, and to me he was the once-great Justin Guarini, a swooner and crooner, a goofy kid in a paisley shirt with a silky voice. In one more stop, he is gone. He steps off the train and out of my life, much as he did to me a decade ago on television.
And I try to watch him for as long as I can, to see if someone else maybe recognizes him from the foggy recesses of their mind, or maybe even to see if he realizes I'm looking at him, the argument and narrative within written all over my face, and he pauses briefly to cast a knowing glance at me as if to say, "Yeah, I know you know."
But no such glance is exchanged and at Lorimer, he disembarks, and my last thought for him is, "I hope Justin Guarini knows what a horrible train the G is."

A flight attendant saved a teenager from human trafficking by leaving a secret note for the victim in the plane's bathroom during a flight.
Shelia Fedrick, an Alaska Airlines vet, swooped into action after she had noticed a disheveled girl with greasy blonde hair, who appeared out of place with the well-dressed older man who boarded the plane with her in Seattle back in 2011, according to NBC News.
"(The girl) looked like she had been through pure hell," Fedrick stated, and estimated that the girl was about 14 or 15 years old.
When the 49-year-old crew member tried to converse with the duo, the man acted defensively.
"I left a note in one of the bathrooms," the flight attendant said in an interview with NBC News. "She wrote back on the note, 'I need help.'"
Fedrick alerted the pilot, and when they landed in San Francisco, authorities were waiting for the man at the airport.
The unbelievable story was highlighted at a training workshop organized by the nonprofit Airline Ambassadors to correspond with the Super Bowl.
The association's founder Nancy Rivard and several colleagues met with approximately 100 flight attendants who volunteered for the two-day training on how to spot human trafficking.
Former victims spoke about their experiences and instructors taught attendees how to detect and appropriately respond to passengers who come off as scared, nervous, or injured and people traveling with companions who don't appear to be a family member, friend, or guardian.
In 2016, human trafficking increased by 35.7% in the U.S compared to the previous year, new data from the National Human Trafficking Hotline revealed.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement apprehended 1,952 individuals for human trafficking in 2016 and identified over 400 victims exploited for forced labor or sex work.

>>>>> NEW! Cannastick Compass Digital Vaporizer <<<<<
There is mouthpiece which is used to house the cartridge and inhale nicotine. The cartridge consists of nicotine solution which are different is flavors. Consumers can buy their desired flavor from the nearest e-cigarette providers. In industry mouthpiece is called cartridge. You can call it whatever you want but it works the same everywhere. When the liquid solution in a cartridge has been finished it needs to be refilled. But it is your choice. You can refill it or you can replace it by a new cartridge.
The atomizer vaporizes the nicotine solution to make the inhaling comfortable. It has a finite life of around one month. After the certain period it has to be changed as soon as possible. Amongst the entire components it is the most costly. Some disposable models of smokeless e- cigarettes contain an atomizer along with a cartridge which is known as 'cartomizer'. The battery used in an electronic cigarette is of lithium ion type. It powers the heating element and it is the largest component of the cigarette. These batteries have strong life and the chargers are found in many suitable forms. So it is very easy and comfortable to charge anywhere you want.
Where to Get Vapor Cigarette, Smokeless Cigarette, Electronic Cigarettes?
Electronic Cigarette
An electronic cigarette (or also called "ecig", "eCigarro" or "eCigar" "electronic vaporizer") is an alternative to smoking, for both those who wish to continue smoking without inhaling noxious substances snuff, as people who take, when smoking, want to disturb as little as possible to those in their alrededor.1 The apparatus itself, only vaporizes the substance contained in the cartridge, causing the expulsion of vapor that mimics traditional cigarette smoke and getting so the user in a similar effect.
Premium Electronic Cigarette KitThe device takes the form of a wand, slightly longer than a normal cigarette (which exactly mimic a normal cigarette usually not an appropriate option usually) [citation needed] although the formats are more bulky, equivalent to pure and pipes that have more autonomy.File: Kit Complet Cigarette Electronique 510.0pxKit of good quality
Steam production levels in an electronic cigaretteThe mouthpiece of the device contains a rechargeable or replaceable cartridge filled with liquid. The main substances contained in the liquid are: propylene glycol and / or vegetable glycerin, nicotine at different doses as optional (generally from 0 mg to 36 milligrams per milliliter), optional flavors and aromas.
When the user inhales through the device, the air flow is detected by a sensor. A microprocessor then activates a nebulizer (popularized by the industry as atomizer), which injects tiny droplets of the liquid into the flowing air and also activates an orange LED (which in recent models can be other colors: green, blue , rose, etc.) at the tip of the device to better simulate real smoking act.
Generally, electronic cigarettes use a rechargeable battery as power source. The battery life varies between different devices, while some last a day between charges, others take up to a week, or so say their vendors in any case according to their capacity in mAh and the use made of the apparatus. The user experience is that the charged battery life is 2 to 5 hours in conventional models, 12 to 24 hours in special models (in pipes, cigars, and another model with special batteries attached). There are new batteries that last up to 60 hours for example the duo kick with just a recharge time of three hours.
The batteries are of two types: automatic, in which breathing is detected which is its great advantage in gaining great comfort of use, but proving easier to be damaged if it passes e-liquid or water to it so it is likely occurs and irreparably ruined or sometimes inhaling detecting mechanism locks and makes useless, and manuals, which must be pressed a small button to inhale which is not so practical but a matter of getting used soon, and its great advantage is that they are shielded making them absolutely safe against fluid ingress unlike earlier. Other devices: PCC simulates a pack of cigarettes but has a built-in battery that is preloaded and used to go charging batteries of e-cigs on a laptop, USB chargers for computers; passthrough allowing only vapear connecting a device that simulates a e-cig battery USB port regardless of the battery, as with the cartridges is permanent innovation in this field. There are also disposable disposables or are already "pre-assembled" and ready for use. These are not rechargeable and as the name implies, to terminate your use discarded. Generally are equivalent to two packs or packs, about 40 regular cigarettes tobacco.
>>>>> NEW! Cannastick Compass Digital Vaporizer <<<<<
Developed in China by Hon Lik of Ruyan, the patented product is sold freely in Europe, Japan and the United States as an alternative to replace used snuff or where no smoking and snuff use is becoming more widespread.Smoking electronic cigarette is now known as "vapear" and is derived from the English term vaping. The users of the electronic cigarette called regular cigarettes as electronic cigarettes as analog and digital cigarettes.
The World Health Organization is warning consumers not to recognize brands that are effective bearing replacement therapy or recognized by this body say due to lack of rigorous studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of the electronic cigarette as replacement therapy or toxicity levels, however, the WHO does not discount its usefulness as conducting studies to profundidad.3 Moreover, the Food and Drug Agency U.S., in a brief analysis of two leading brands, found two groups of substances considered potentially be harmful: diethylene glycol and nitrosaminas.4 Meanwhile, the health department of Canada only mentions the presence of diethylene glycol and the need for analysis posteriores.
In a separate study in New Zealand by Laugesen (2008) and the New Zealand health department examined the levels of nitrosamines electronic cigarette finding that these levels are very low compared to cigarette normal.For example, the study by Laugesen reports a total maximum of 8.16 nanograms per nitrosamines cartridge while the leading brands in conventional cigarette leaders are reported from 1300 to 6300 nanograms per gram (1.3 to 6.3 micrograms / gram). Similarly, these results also indicated that the level of nicotine in the electronic cigarette cartridges is different from the concentration of nicotine in nicotine patches. This study concluded that based on the manufacturer's information, the composition of the cartridge liquid is not hazardous to health, if used debidamente. Zealand health department approved electronic cigarettes.The American Association of Public Health Physicians has recommended to the Food and Drug Agency U.S. reclassify electronic cigarette as a snuff product (instead of a combination drug / device) arguing that it is possible to "save the lives of four million of the eight million current smokers in the United States who would otherwise die of a disease related to snuff for the next twenty.
The consumer organization OCU also published an article on this product.
From the website also approved the use of these devices to reduce harm to smokers and passive smokers.Recently, a judge has ruled, which supports the distribution of the electronic cigarette in the United States.13Electronic cigarettes themselves do not contain nicotine. The use of this substance to alleviate the effects of withdrawal is the choice of the users, and is determined by the load of cartridges used, or the concentration of the liquid to be recharged.
In Spain it is illegal to sell nicotine if not for medical purposes. In other countries with more lax laws using nicotine in electronic cigarettes is allowed. The electronic cigarette cartridges are normally provided with a variety of formulations with different flavors and colors (e.g. fruit, mint, to coffee) and concentrations of nicotine. At the highest concentration of nicotine, cigarette smoking cigarettes electronic equivalent of snuff to normal. Most companies also offer a range of milder options, including completely non-nicotine cartridges.
Depending on device, the cartridges are valid for between 40 and 400 puffs. Cartridges (which are of many types and operating principles: Perlon absorbing cartridges with e-liquid to vaporize that are of different shapes like round, half-planes and planes, totaling cartomizers-cartridge + atomizer in one piece, are disposable or pay three to five refills claromizadores-ditto-but-transparent-ditto E-Tank cartridge but Perlon-and more to be inventing and incorporating, each has its pros and cons) gaps can be replaced with a new or refilled more solution. This solution, sometimes also called "e-liquid", is often sold in bottles of 5-30 ml. The Ruyan patent application mentions four different formulas for the solution of nicotine.

Top attractions in Washington DC
America's capital city is a destination full of history and culture, a city with its own unique vibe. There are plenty of things to see and activities to do. From high street shopping and restaurants to monuments and attractions, this is a popular tourist destination for a reason. Whether you have a weekend or a week, here are a few top attractions in Washington, D.C.
Houses of Government
No trip to Washington, D.C. is complete without a tour of its three famous houses of Government – the U.S. Capitol Building, the U.S. Supreme Court and the most famous of all, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., the White House. Not only are these three buildings impressive structures from the outside, the daily tours will give you a greater understanding of how the most powerful nation on earth is run. Make sure to plan ahead and check the tour schedules before making your way there.
If shopping and dining out are more your style, consider visiting the historic Georgetown neighbourhood. Set along the bank of the Potomac River and full of historic 200-year-old buildings, Georgetown is a vibrant area full of high street shopping and restaurants. In the heart of the neighbourhood is the famous Georgetown University, with its more than 12,000 students adding to the hustle and bustle of the area. Make sure to plan your mode of transport in advance, as this area is not serviced from downtown by the Metrorail: buses are the best way to get there.
Smithsonian Museums
The Smithsonian Museums have something for everyone. Their exhibits range from the world's smallest insects to the largest spacecraft ever built: the best thing about these museums is that admission is free. With 19 museums and an estimated 137 million objects, it's impossible to see everything. So make sure to plan ahead and research which museums you'd like to visit. If you're heading to the capital for the Christmas holiday, make sure to visit the museum on another day, as its closed December 25.
National monuments and memorials
Along with being the centre of politics, Washington is also home to America's most treasured monuments. These monuments and memorials remember the country's most-beloved generals, poets and presidents along with remembering those who have fallen throughout America's history. Some of the most worthwhile destinations are Arlington National Cemetery, Lincoln's Memorial and the African American Civil War memorial and Museum.
If you are looking for flights to Washington make sure to book online well in advance for the best deals. If you do decide to visit America's capital you won't regret it, as the city has many, many attractions to see.

Solar Powered Ridge Vent in Northern Virginia
Does solar work and is it worth the cost is a question we receive often. Here is an application where the answer is a resounding YES! to both. As you can see from the photo below we installed in a small vented ridge vent 8-4″ DC powered fans.
This view is from the attic looking up at the small ridge area.
We then installed a small 50 watt solar panel and attached the panel to the seams of the standing seam metal roof. There are no roof penetrations and the fans and solar panel are warrantied for 20 years. That's at least 20 years of effective attic venting for very few pennies!

Is LPG or CNG versions available of Mercedes Benz S -Class in India?
By: Imaran on 3 september 2014
3 Answers:
Mercedes Benz's highly advanced technology used in manufacture of each and every mechanism makes the car to deliver to the perfection. An slight changes in mechanisms,can reduce the performance of engine and related mechanisms.Its not only difficul to repair, it would also be a too costly repairs.The possible savings that could have happened with fitting of LPG/CNG kit would have lost in one single repair schedule. Hence it wont be worth considering fitting a LPG/CNG kit to E Class.
Sonal Gupta 2014-09-03
Estimated gas mileage of 19mpg in city and 25mpg in highways and combined 21mpg in Mercedes Benz. Diesel engine produces 240hp and torque of 455 with seven speed automatic wheel drive. AMG performance is upgraded. Twin turbo of 4.7L estimated mileage is 15/24/18 and twin turbo of 5.5L gives mileage of 12/19/18. The S350 is the best fuel economy range of S class and simultaneously will gives you the state of luxury.
Visham 2015-05-17
LPG or CNG version of this car is not available but one can fit it as per his or her requirement but it can reduce the efficiency of the high power engine and may affect the smooth flow of the car.

So my delima is Go back to Pink and White acrylics (cut shorter) Stay natural and Paint them a light shade of tan or pink Stay natural unpainted and stay bored, LoL I know this isnt much of a delima but I just dont know what to do with them, I feel like they look unmanicured even after a manicure anymore

Belgian designer Filip Janssens' Rupture cabinet is a set of custom shelving units that appear as though they're emerging from a fissure opening up in the wall. The cabinets come as a single solid volume with a flat front face, and the shelves themselves are dug backward into that face.
While the cabinet is functional, with as many shelving units as directed, it also has a touch of flashy decor that accentuates the design's inspiration. A few of the smaller shelves are covered in rippling stained glass the color of fire, making the cabinet look like a chasm that has opened up in the Earth's crust to reveal the magma underneath.
The cabinet can also be outfitted with targeted external LEDs to light up the objects it holds.
