The next season of the Bundesliga begins in just two days and all of the biggest clubs in Germany have been busy strengthening their squad in the three months since the curtain was closed on the last edition, which Bayern Munich, again, won at a canter.
Each season brings with it new innovations as the top clubs look to get one up on their rivals in the title race and Goal is here to give you the lowdown on how all of the biggest clubs within the top flight will be lining up between now and May.
The coming campaign is a big one for Bayer Leverkusen after they started brightly last term, only to fall away badly after Christmas, eventually costing Sami Hyypia his job. They have several new faces to mount a better challenge but Bernd Leno's place in goal will not be compromised.
Wendell, a Brazilian left-back and central defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos will slot into the back four alongside Giulio Donati and Omer Toprak, now established members of the team.
New coach Roger Schmidt is expected to field something of a 4-4-2, with new star signing Hakan Calhanoglu on the right of midfield and key man Son Heung-Min on the left, either side of Lars Bender and Simon Rolfes.
Another new signing, Josip Drmic, will start up front, alongside Stefan Kiessling, who has started the season amid a flurry of goals.
Once again, Pep Guardiola is widely expected to innovate his system ahead of the new season and is set to move away from the trusted four-man back line and field three defenders in front of Manuel Neuer. The goalkeeper picks himself, despite the arrival of Pepe Reina for added competition.
Jerome Boateng and David Alaba are due to line up either side of Dante, though Javi Martinez would have been hopeful of playing in the central role were it not for his anterior cruciate ligament injury in the Supercup game against Dortmund.
They will get greater defensive solidity from Rafinha and new addition Juan Bernat's deployment on either side of a four-man midfield, with Philipp Lahm and Bastian Schweinsteiger manning the centre of the park, though the latter will start the season injured, giving a chance to the likes of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
The front three more or less pick themselves, with Arjen Robben on the right, Franck Ribery on the left and new signing Robert Lewandowski through the middle, though they will have stiff competition from Mario Gotze, Thomas Muller, Xherdan Shaqiri and more besides.
By contrast, Jurgen Klopp will stick with the tried and tested formula at Borussia Dortmund after another season of solidification last term. Perhaps the biggest change to the squad, though, is the presence of greater depth and competition for places.
Roman Weidenfeller is a safe pair of hands in goal, and the first-choice back four will be the same as ever, with Lukasz Piszczek on the right, Marcel Schmelzer on the left (subject to Erik Durm's continued rise) and Mats Hummels alongside the fit-again Neven Subotic. However, the two centre-backs have company in the form of Sokratis Papastathopoulos and new signing Matthias Ginter, who will both challenge for a place.
Ilkay Gundogan's long-awaited return from injury is not far off, but Nuri Sahin is the fitter player and more likely to start alongside Sven Bender. Ahead of them, Henrikh Mkhitaryan will pull the strings, flanked on either side by Jakub Blaszczykowski and Marco Reus, but with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pushing them hard.
The only real change to the first-choice XI, of course, comes up front, with Ciro Immobile signed from Torino to fill the void left by Lewandowski's exit and Adrian Ramos as back-up after his arrival from Hertha Berlin.
Borussia Monchengladbach's major change comes in goal, with Yann Sommer signed from Basel to replace Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who moved on to Barcelona to replace Victor Valdes in the summer.
Julian Korb made strides into the first team last term and is expected to continue at right-back, with Tony Jantschke slotting it at centre-back alongside Martin Stranzl, with Oscar Wendt on the left-hand side. Club captain Filip Daems no longer has time on his side and will fill a bench role.
Patrick Herrmann has remained once more and will provide the main threat down the right wing, with Ibrahima Traore on the other side thanks to Juan Arango's exit. Solidity in the centre of the park will come from World Cup winner Christoph Kramer and the Norway international Havard Nordtveit.
The front line will be much the same, with Max Kruse supported by Raffael.
Ralf Fahrmann is one of the more amazing comeback stories in football in recent years. Frozen out a year ago, he sealed his status as first choice with a string of fine performances at the end of the season.
The back four is very settled, with Atsuto Uchida on the right, Saed Kolasinac on the left and Benedikt Howedes and Joel Matip in the midde. They will be far more assured of game time after Kyriakos Papadopoulos' exit on loan to Leverkusen.
They will be protected by the well-oiled axis of Roman Neustadter and Kevin-Prince Boateng, with Jefferson Farfan, Julian Draxler and Max Meyer providing the main source of creativity behind Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, who will be desperate to stay fit for the whole season.
Wolfsburg missed out on the top four last year by a hair's breadth but many of the same faces will be there once more for the fight for the Champions League places. Diego Benaglio will retain the gloves in goal after performing well for club and country over the last 12 months.
At right-back, we have a new face in the form of Sebastian Jung, signed this summer from Eintracht Frankfurt. Robin Knoche will look to cement his reputation as one of the finest young centre-backs in Germany next to Naldo, with Ricardo Rodriguez at left-back.
Luiz Gustavo is likely to be partnered by Junior Malanda in the deep-lying midfield positions following the Belgian's productive loan spell at Zulte last term, with Vieirinha, Maximilian Arnold and Kevin de Bruyne behind Ivica Olic, much like in the last half of 2013-14.

You can tell when summer is almost over because ITV bombard us with ads for juggernaut talent search The X Factor.
Yes, we know it feels like the last one only finished a few weeks ago; our optic nerves are still recovering from the retina-searing fireworks and pyrotechnics of the 2012 contest.
Amazingly that was last December, and as the year has zipped by faster than Simon Cowell on a jet ski, it's now time to face the music and light the lights once more.
The last series was plagued by stories about falling ratings and Nicole Scherzinger's risqué comments, not to mention the occasional falling-out between the judges, but that's what the show's always been about.
Behind the scenes, Cowell is keen to ensure the show stays in the headlines from now until that pre-Christmas finale.
To be fair, these first few episodes are usually TV gold as we witness more deluded wannabe acts given their shot at the big time, while some turns with genuine talent attempt to overcome their nerves in the hope of winning the nation's hearts.
And it's not always the winners of this show who become the biggest stars. After all, runners-up Olly Murs, One Direction and Union J (shamelessly shoehorned into Kick Ass 2 recently) have all seen their careers go through the roof.
Once more we welcome Gary Barlow, Nicole Scherzinger, and original series judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis ('I'm still here!') Walsh.
Because of TXF 2012's relatively poor ratings, there have been a few tweaks to this year's format.
It will be shown twice a week with Saturdays initially dedicated to the closed room auditions (like the first five years of the show).
The most impressive acts then perform at Wembley Arena on Sundays in front of thousands.
The perpetually diplomatic Dermot O' Leary is on hand to celebrate with those talented hopefuls who progress through to the next round, and commiserate with the tone-deaf auditionees who are not so fortunate.
Fingers crossed we get more genuine stars, like 2012 contestants Lucy Spraggan, Jahmene Douglas and winner James Arthur.
As Nicole says, it should be "Shamazing!"

Russian Studies Minor
Russian Studies
For much of the twentieth century, Soviet Russia represented the single greatest historical and cultural adversary of the West. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the nations for the former Soviet sphere of influence have become important participants in the emergence of a multinational culture extending from Central Europe to Central Asia, from Orthodox Christianity and Islam to a vibrant postmodernity. Russia itself, no longer isolated from the West, has become a central player in contemporary geopolitics and economics. The Russian, Central, and East European Studies program is an interdisciplinary concentration combining courses in the Russian language, literature, and culture with related courses in Central and Eastern European history, culture, literature, film, and theater offered by allied departments. The minor in Russian Studies contributes to the preparation for a career in a wide variety of professions. The goal of the program is to produce graduates who have the linguistic competence, the cultural comprehension, and the historical understaning to navigate the many facets of Russian, Central, and East European connections with the U. S. and Europe.

I'm mostly geared towards trekking although i'll be taking crampons, axe, and harness, as well as climbing shoes with me to fit in as much as possible.
Most of my skills are in whitewater - i'm a class V boater with plenty of expedition experience throughout New Zealand, the High Sierra's, PNW and British Columbia but this isn't going to be a boating trip for me so i'm shifting gears a bit to trekking and climbing. I've trekked throughout New Zealand, British Columbia, the Yukon and Alaska...its been a year since i've climbed rock but i'm good up to mid 5.10's with some trad experience. I've done a bit of mtn climbing although limited it has included technical mixed climbing...so although not hugely experienced, i'm keen, fit and just need a partner to get out with.
General plans put me in Quito, Ecu in mid-Nov 2011. After a month there i plan to skip down to Patagonia and trek/climb southward for 2 or 3 months. From there i want to head to Boliva and Peru and then back to Ecu...this is just a tentative plan tho and i'm flexible to join up for anything.
Drop me a line if you're happy to add one to your group or are solo and need a partner.

City National Bank on July 1 donated $1,000 to 15 charitable organizations as part of its 60th anniversary celebration.
To commemorate the milestone, City National is awarding community grants to nonprofit groups on behalf of bank colleagues for their volunteer outreach each quarter. By the end of the year, the bank will have awarded 60 community grants totaling $60,000 to nonprofits in five states.
"City National colleagues are doing some amazing work with nonprofit groups and charitable causes in the communities where we do business," said Jennifer Nickerson, vice president and community relations manager for City National. "We want to recognize that volunteer work by awarding these community grants to the organizations they donate so much of their time and energy to on an ongoing basis."
Charities are nominated by bank colleagues who have worked with or are involved in the organizations. The nomination is then considered by a panel of bank officials who consider important questions like "How involved is the bank colleague in the organization? What is the impact that the organization has on the constituents it serves?" said bank spokesperson Paul Stowell.
A few of the winning California charities are United Cerebral Palsy of Orange County in Irvine, Children Sure House Foundation in Winnetka, and Foshay High School in Los Angeles.
"I think this program, along with all other community outreach programs that City National does reinforces our tagline, which is The Way Up. We like to say City National is not only "the way up" for its clients, but also the community it serves," said Stowell.
There are more than 3,600 City National colleagues who are eligible to submit nominations on behalf of the community-based organizations they are affiliated with through volunteer outreach.
Only halfway through the $60,000 total, City National is still accepting nominations for its third quarter of grants.

GADGETWISE; Q&A: Adding Stations To iTunes
By J.D. BIERSDORFER
Published: June 21, 2012
The iTunes Radio list lacks a few streaming stations that I like. Is there anyway to add these so I can listen through iTunes instead of keeping the station's Web page open all day?
If you have the Web address for a station's stream, you can add it to iTunes by copying the station's URL. Open iTunes and in the Advanced menu and choose Open Stream. Paste the URL into the box that appears and click the O.K. button. The stream should begin playing through iTunes.
To save the station to a playlist, go to the File menu, choose New Playlist and call it ''Radio Streams'' or something similar. To save the current station to the playlist, right-click (or hold down the Control key and click) the name of the station as it plays in the iTunes track-display window. From the contextual menu that appears, choose Add to Playlist from and select your radio playlist. You can also drag radio streams listed in the lower part of the iTunes window onto the playlist icon to add them.
If the radio stations you want to add to iTunes are available on the SHOUTcast radio directory, you can easily add the streams to iTunes. On the SHOUTcast mail page, click on the Help menu, choose Settings and click the button next to ''Play SHOUTcast stream in default media player.'' Click the Save Settings button.
When you click on a stream you want to play in the SHOUTcast directory, the station's .pls file downloads to your computer. If it does not begin to play in iTunes, double-click the downloaded file to start it. In most cases, the streams are automatically added to an ''Internet Songs'' playlist in iTunes.

Firefox 29 has been released, and the most prominent new feature is an entirely new user interface. It's smoother and less angular, and has clearly been designed to somewhat resemble Google Chrome. Hence, I personally think it's a major step forward - except for Firefox' version of the Chrome menu, which uses a grid of icons instead of a list (?!) - but I'm nearly 100% convinced many Firefox users will not like it. It's change, after all.
Luckily, Firefox is customisable to the point of insanity, so I'm pretty sure you can revert to the old look with the right themes and extensions.

Surely it means precisely the opposite? People are free to agree or disagree with your point of view, and can show this by voting a post up or down respectively. It just seems in this case that the majority disagree. Just because your opinion is in the minority doesn't automatically mean the majority are against free speech. It just means the majority have the same freedom of speech as you.
You're not trying to suggest that those who disagree with your opinion are not entitled to express this?
Are you a communist? because whether you realize it or not you are arguing AGAINST the free market.
What happened at Mozilla was the most pure example of the free market in action we've seen in years, 1.- Company makes asshat CEO, 2.- main demographic customer of company doesn't like asshat, 3.- Customers vote with their wallet by uninstalling product, urge others to do so as well, 4.- Company sees userbase dropping like flies, thinks "wow maybe having an asshat CEO isn't a good idea", 5.- Asshat CEO goes away.
Frankly you can't get any more pure free market than that, Mozilla had the right to keep the asshat, the userbase had the right to vote with their wallet and walk away, the market spoke and asshat went bye bye, can't get any more free market than that.
Oh and just FYI but Mozilla had just cause to fire him if he didn't leave since he refused to do his job the entire time he was CEO. the CEO is the public face of a company and part of their job description is PR and dealing with the press, guess what the bigot refused to do? that's right HIS JOB. Frankly if he would have simply held a press conference and explained his positions a lot of it might have blown over, his "none of your business" attitude made the whole thing into a press buffet. good riddance to bad rubbish.
mozilla ceo hasnt been fired
and mozilla isnt exactly a pure capitalist corporation.
its a not-for-profit org that owns a corp. theyre only doing that to pay ppl to work on what they wanted to work on.
so yeah, most people are pissing on basically one of the most morally and ethically correct company - the one that has no other benefit than trying to help the users (and ofc you cant satisfy everyone, bob likes blue - you like red)

"I could never have agreed to this if I based the decision on my calculator", he says today, "but our guests had their fun." This resulted in many gourmets coming to Stanglwirt - and they filled up the hotel in the tennis off-season.
Balthasar Hauser's biggest coup was of course the construction of the biohotel. Long before "eco" became trendy, or the climate change started scaring politicians or low-energy buildings became fashionable, Balthasar Hauser was riding his bike. He thought a long time about what to build on the best spot of this property.
There, where the dunghill resided and the neighbouring sawmill was inaudible: "All of a sudden I hit a bump and it shook me pretty hard - suddenly I had an idea: we will build a biohotel." It was a massive undertaking, since it was going to be the first of its kind in Europe. It was still the time when constructions were made with concrete, window frames consisted of aluminum and plastics and asbestos were used for fire protection.
And yet Hauser chose lime mortar, wood and clay bricks instead. The construction became a war of nerves. There were many delays, the hired consultants were overstrained by the enormity of the project and many know-it-alls had an opinion about the house. "In the end the whole thing almost came apart", remembers the host of Stanglwirt.
He had to redevelop the expensive shell construction. In his deepest desperation he met Karl Hermann Schwabe, a German architect, who became popular for his redevelopments of old structures and biological construction methods in Aussee. Schwabe helped Hauser to finish his biohotel and Hauser once again proved his good instincts.
He built the guestrooms 25% bigger than necessary - he did not do this because he wanted to show off, he wanted his guests to feel comfortable. This is one of the reasons why guests who come to Stanglwirt by accident usually become regular guests.

The other two candidates in the Feb. 2 Democratic primary -- Cheryle Jackson and Jacob Meister -- seemed content to let Giannoulias and Hoffman argue during the morning debate at the Union League Club of Chicago.
"He rails against the big banks and the Wall Street banks," said Giannoulias, the state's first-term treasurer. "Here's a guy who's put significant amounts of his own money into this campaign, has hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in stock in these big Wall Street banks that is protected by ... taxpayers. And he's now using that money to fund his campaign."
Records that Hoffman filed to run for Senate show he owns stock in Bank of New York Mellon, Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase, all of which received federal bailout money.
Hoffman, Chicago's former inspector general, said before Giannoulias was elected treasurer his only other job was as vice president and loan officer for Broadway Bank, the bank Giannoulias' father founded 30 years ago.
Hoffman said his investments amount to "less than one ten-millionth of a percent of the ownership of those banks" and pales in comparison to Giannoulias' continued ownership in Broadway.
"It's a critical part of his experience," Hoffman said. "In fact he's only held two jobs and the job just before this one was as the vice president and chief loan officer of a bank that is now one of the worst performing in the country."
The debate was the first since a Chicago Tribune/WGN-TV poll found Giannoulias with a wide lead over the competition in the Feb. 2 primary for the seat held by U.S. Sen. Roland Burris, D-Ill., and formerly held by President Barack Obama. Burris, appointed by then- Gov. Rod Blagojevich, decided not to run.
Hoffman attacked Giannoulias' performance on the state's college savings program, Bright Start, which lost $85 million last year, while Giannoulias said he deserved credit for turning around the program.
After the forum, Meister said he took exception to Hoffman's repeated statements that he is the only candidate who is married and a parent.
Meister, who is gay, said Hoffman's attempts to make that distinction are "highly inappropriate."
Hoffman said he was only pointing out that raising children has changed his perspective. He also said he favors gay marriage.

As expected, the Seahawks placed center Chris Spencer on injured reserve today, ending his season.
To fill his roster spot, tackle Na'Shan Goddard was signed. The 6-foot-5, 315-pound Goddard went to South Carolina. Goddard had been on the New York Giants practice squad.
Guard Erik Robertson (6-2, 310) was signed to the practice squad, filling the spot that opened yesterday when quarterback Travis Lulay was released.
Spencer becomes the 11th player placed on IR by the Seahawks — a group that includes defensive end Patrick Kerney, right guard Rob Sims and wide receiver Nate Burleson.

Elected officials in Austin offered wide-ranging reactions to this morning's Supreme Court decision in the Arizona immigration enforcement law.
There was general agreement, from left to right, that the American immigration system is broken. But there were deep disagreements about the path forward.
Here's a sampling of Austin reaction:
Gov. Rick Perry:
"Today's decision by the Supreme Court to uphold Arizona's right to check the legal status of individuals within its borders is a victory not only for the people of Arizona, but for the rule of law. No state should be held hostage to a federal government that refuses to enforce the laws of the land.
"But today's ruling is one step forward and two steps back – simply not good enough. It is bad enough that the Obama administration picks and chooses which laws it wishes to enforce, but for the United States Supreme Court to deprive states of some of those powers that are, in the words of Justice Scalia, 'the defining characteristic[s] of sovereignty,' is insulting to the Constitution and our right to govern ourselves.
"The people of Arizona took action consistent with federal law and in direct response to the failure of this administration to secure our nation's borders. The absence of federal action on immigration enforcement directly spoils the integrity of our nation's laws."
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate:
"The Supreme Court's partial ruling on the Arizona immigration law only spotlights the abject failure of the federal government to secure the border. Today's decision reinforces the need for conservatives in Congress to once and for all quit talking and secure the border. The first step is triple the size of the Border Patrol and authorize them to fight back.
"Congress must make states and local communities partners in securing the border, allowing them the tools necessary to enforce the laws of our nation. Any legislation that provides a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens must be dead on arrival, and we must look at all the tools in our arsenal to address the influx of illegal immigrants, the threat of narco-terrorists and drug cartels."
Former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate:
"The federal government is utterly failing to secure our borders. When Arizona stepped in to address out-of-control illegal immigration, liberal groups attacked Arizona and the Obama Administration sued the State. Rather than actually enforce our Nation's immigration laws—which is the President's explicit constitutional obligation—President Obama instead asked the Supreme Court to strike down Arizona's law.
"Today, the Supreme Court upheld the central provision of the Arizona law. Although the Court unfortunately struck down other provisions of the Arizona law, the Court held that there is no barrier in federal law to States' requiring local law enforcement to check on the immigration status of those criminally detained. This makes clear that sanctuary cities exist only because of state and local decision-making; it highlights that we have sanctuary cities in Texas only because Lt. Gov. Dewhurst killed the bill that would have ended sanctuary cities. Had the Texas Legislature passed that bill—had Lt. Governor Dewhurst not run from the fight and prevented its passage—then today's decision would have upheld that Texas law as well.
"We need leaders who will get serious about enforcing the border: triple the border patrol; use walls, fences, and technology; end sanctuary cities; repeal Obama's newly ordered amnesty; and end benefits like in-state tuition for illegal aliens."
Senate Transportation and Homeland Security Chairman Tommy Williams, R-The Woodlands:
"What we attempted to do last session is comply distinguishable between the Arizona law… Had the version of SB 9 that passed out of the Senate become law it wouldn't have been affected by this ruling by the Supreme Court at all," he said. "We didn't have anything in there that made it a crime to work in Texas, we didn't have anything in there that made it a state crime for someone to be in the country illegally."
State Senator José Rodríguez, D-San Antonio:
"I am deeply troubled by the decision handed down today by the Supreme Court. To give state and local law enforcement officers the power to act as federal immigration officers is a recipe for disaster.
"As a result of today's decision, I am confident that there will be several pieces of legislation filed during the next legislative session requiring Texas law enforcement officers to ask immigration status. These harmful measures hurt the ability of our police to develop and foster relationships with immigrant communities — relationships critical in combating and solving crime."
State Rep. Roberto R. Alonzo, D-Dallas:
"As I have said before many times, immigration reform is such a complex and complicated issue, it is best left at the hands of our federal government and law enforcement officials at that level of government, not the local police.
"Allowing local police to still ask for immigration status is such a difficult issue that it will create nothing but chaos and more problems than we already have to deal with. Local enforcement officials are hired primarily to deal with local issues, and not deal with federal issues. And they are busy enough and overworked enough with local issues. We certainly do not need to add another layer of federal bureaucracy, red tape, and complex job requirements that they do have the training, knowledge, or experience to deal with or address adequately. This would be unfair, not only to the local police officers themselves, but the individuals who would be unfairly targeted and racially profiled."
State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio:
"I'm thankful that most of the law was struck down," Van de Putte said, "but the opinion left open the distinct possibility that the part it upheld, the roadside checks, could still be open to other court challenges. I hope Texas doesn't follow Arizona's lead in this regard — it would be ironic if a state that pushed so hard for tort reform passed a law that would invite litigation."

Good Points
Looks great, price, good lens.
Bad Points
Pictures are hit and miss and clearly lack focus. Disappointed with the shutter lag and eventually returned for another digital camera. May have had a bad one but took 40 shots of the same subject in the same light conditions etc and got 4 different pictures - one looked great, one was pink tinged, one yellow and one orange. Really wanted to write a good review as the "in the box" package was excellent. Sorry

System pays for itself in 12 - 36 months depending on your power company metering and billing system.
The USES power conditioning system provides superior surge & spike protection.
How does It Help Save You Money?
these appliances and electrical devices will be protected from surges
and spikes with the system installed at your electrical panel:
- Home Entertainment Systems
- Air-Conditioners & Split-type Systems
- Refrigerators
- Washers & Dryers
- Dishwashers
- Gaming Systems (Wii,X-box, Playstations)
- Vacuum cleaners
- State-of-the-Art, patented Green Technology
- Worldwide 23-year track record in thousands of homes and businesses
- Extends the life of all motors in appliances and equipment
- 900 Joules of industrial quality surge and spike protection for all electronics
- A fraction of the cost of a Solar installation (one-tenth on average)
- Made in the U.S.A.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why haven't I heard of it?
Until recently, the system has been marketed primarily to commercial and residential installations on the East Coast, USA. 1st Green Solutions Guam, LLC is now marketing Worldwide.
- How is the unit installed?
The unit mounts near the main electrical panel, and connects to a 30 Amp, 2-pole breaker. This allows for generated watts, power conditioning, and surge and spike protection to be provided to both phases (entire panel). A licensed electrician or contractor must install the unit to assure it is installed properly, and meets warranty requirements.
- Will it damage anything in my home?
No, the unit will only protect the home from spikes and surges, and recycle the magnetic field energy into usable power. Everything will run the same as it did before, just more efficiently.
- How long will it take to receive my unit?
Units will be shipped via ground shipping and take approximately two weeks to arrive.
- How long does the unit last?
The units have a life expectancy of 18-20 years under normal conditions.
- Can it work with Solar?
Yes, it is totally compatible with solar systems, and will generate watts and provide power conditioning and surge/spike protection. Also, watt generation will reduce the payback time for a solar installation. For those considering solar after the sytem is installed, a smaller solar array is required.
- Does it qualify for a utility rebate?
It usually qualifies for a utility rebate as an alternative energy source. Talk with your local utility provider for details.
Possible to Reduce your Electric Bill and Conserve
Our Precious Resources. Here's how…
By the time you receive it, your electricity has lost some of it's efficiency.
Electricity travels through miles of power lines and multiple
transformers from the power plant to get to your electric panel. The
loss of efficiency can be as high as 30%, but still goes through your
meter as magnetic field energy to all your appliances, air
conditioning, fans, wells and all other pumps and motors. They cannot
use this energy and waste it as heat.
The system converts this magnetic field energy into fully efficient watts, allowing it to quickly pay for itself.
It senses the conditions that exist within your electrical system,
recycling electrical waste and distortion into useful energy and
"shunts" these watts back into your panel, 24 hours per day, everyday.
. The system increases the efficiency of your electricity to near
Your meter will run slower, thus saving you money. See savings chart below.
This dynamic green technology has been utilized in thousands of homes and businesses worldwide for over 23 years.
Here's How Much It is Possible to Save:
Beware of cheap imitations which only do one or two of these functions.
Capacitor-based units can cause motor-damaging harmonics and VFD-damaging resonance frequencies to occur and does not generate watts. No other product has these capabilities.

An eclectic mix of 15 carefully selected botanicals, including Cumbrian juniper, one of the county's oldest plant species, and six others which are native to the Lake District National Park.
We steep the botanicals overnight in the finest English wheat spirit, along with pure Cumbrian water, sourced from the River Derwent. Our traditional, handmade copper pot still – Chemmy – then works its magic, as the spirit is gently distilled for up to 8 hours, resulting in an exceptionally smooth gin.
Drink neat over ice or with a tonic of choice. But, if cocktails are your thing.....try a Chemmy!
The word 'gin' is derived from the Dutch for juniper, 'geniver'. The juniper berry is the botanical at the heart of gin making. Fortunately for us, juniper grows wild in the fells of the Lake District. We use this local juniper together with other 13 botanicals native to the Lakes, such as bilberry, heather and meadowsweet, to produce a gin which is complex, intriguing and above all else, delicious.
Tasting Notes: Big, clear fresh citrus, fruity and floral. Complex and vibrant.

We have a little structure around our meetings to give people a chance to speak, bounce ideas off others, and "break the ice" for anyone who hasn't met before. We are loosely adopting a structure that has worked well for other OpenHack meetups.
- 6:00 - Meet and Greet, Introductions - Please share who you are, and what you do.
- 6:15 - Hack!
- 9:00 - Wrap-up and doors close (or do they?)
We'll begin with introductions around 6. Just say who you are, what you do and where you do it (if you want to), what languages/frameworks you work with, and anything else you want to share. This is just to let everybody get to know each other and see who does what so others can help/pair with them, or ask for help if you know something they don't.
Next is the hack session. This is what OpenHack is all about - slingin' code. That's 2 and a half hours. You can pair up with somebody or work totally alone - it's totally up to you. We encourage you to pair just for the fun of it, but nobody's going to even -remotely- have a problem if you don't.
You can hack on anything you want. Open source, closed source. Work. Play. Any skill level on anything on any project, it's all good as long as you're here to sling code.
Finally, we'll wrap up with a segment that, for lack of a better term, we'll call "bring it to the tribe". The idea is that as a community of developers, engineers and computer scientists, we're a "tribe" of sorts. So we need to help each other out. OpenHack - for us anyway - isn't just about the code, but also about the people who write it! So we want to leverage the collective widsom of our "tribe" to help each other. This small wrap-up is designed to give people a chance to present a problem they may be having (code related) to the group.
Things like, "I can't seem to grasp rspec's DSL, can anybody recommend a good book or resource", or "does anyone have any tips on how to convince my boss to let me re-implement this crufty old system written in outdated perl scripts as a REST-based SOA since it would be just so much cleaner?". These topics (and more!) are what the tribe session is meant for, and we want to provide an open, official forum for members to ask each other for help in their present challenge. Maybe some one has experience, a book, or a contact who can help you out. This gives each of us a chance to leverage the group's "tribal knowledge" to solve a problem.
We want feedback
OpenHack is about the hacker/developer community. This group exists to give you a repeated/predictable opportunity to get out and among your peers, hack on a project, develop connections with people, and have fun while being productive. So if you have ideas on how we can further that goal, or have ideas on our proposed format, please tweet the organizers @mr_ndrsn, @supermighty, @ericlathrop or @OpenHackLVL.
Past meetups
We've been meeting every month since 12/2012! Attendance averages around 10-12 people with a couple outliers at 4 and 22.

Apple may have "screwed-the-pooch" by turning it's battle with the FBI into such a media sensation. The NSA works for the White House. They gather intelligence on citizens for the Obama White to plan strategies and DNC tactics. Only the most brain-dead members of the public do not now know that the NSA spies on them. It turns out, though, that the NSA is doing THE LEAST of the spying on the public.
That's right. It is not the NSA that you need to be afraid of, it is the raping, sex slave owning, misogynist, narcissist, power-mad billionaires that run Silicon Valley. They are your worst privacy nightmare. They harvest everything you do on every one of their devices and go out and sell it to the NSA, the FBI AND Sears, Nike, Amazon.com, Target, Macy's and the whole entire planet. Apple only pointed that out to the world by their hell-raising. Now watch cell phone sales plummet into a black hole of dispair.
Law & Disorder / Civilization & Discontents
FBI v. Apple is a security and privacy issue. What about civil rights?
Jesse Jackson: "Activities of civil rights organizations and activists" at stake.
by David Kravets –
The Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Apple's encryption battle
Apple fires back: "Government is adept at devising new surveillance techniques"
Former cyber czar says NSA could crack the San Bernadino shooter's phone
Florida sheriff pledges to arrest CEO Tim Cook if Apple resists crypto cooperation
Feds fire back on San Bernardino iPhone, noting that Apple has accommodated China
There are ways the FBI can crack the iPhone PIN without Apple doing it for them
The ongoing legal drama between Apple and the Federal Bureau of investigation has largely been characterized as an Internet privacy and security issue—and a constitutional one, too. It's also been characterized as a human rights issue. Now, the Rev. Jesse Jackson says it's about civil rights.
Clearly, the security, privacy, and human rights aspects of the fight are all somewhat connected to civil rights.
But Jackson's letter to the judge overseeing the legal battle between the tech giant and the federal government has put his own spin on the hot-button topic.
Jackson, the president and founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, wrote (PDF) Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym of Riverside Federal Court, urging her to side against the government:
Dr. Martin Luther King would often say, "Where we stand in times of controversy is a measure of our character. Some leaders follow opinion polls. Others stand up for their principles, refuse to compromise and mold opinion."
In these difficult times, the government, courts and private companies must stand up and uphold—however unpopular—our First Amendment rights, our right to privacy and basic individual freedoms guaranteed to us under the US Constitution.
Other writers will weigh in on the intricacies of technology and privacy rights. What I want to bring to the forefront of this legal debate is the impact and implications this case has on civil rights and our historic civil rights movement.
This case cuts right to the heart of our right to live free from unwarranted government surveillance. It is a matter of deep personal concern to me—given the past and present illegal and unwarranted spying and surveillance of civil rights organizations, much conducted under the guise of national security.
Jackson spoke of the FBI infiltrating the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the wiretapping of King, and how the FBI's COINTELPRO "campaign spied on, infiltrated, and disrupted domestic civil rights and political groups. Rainbow PUSH Coalition and I personally have been subject to spying and surveillance, and more recently, there have been accounts of surveillance of the Black Lives Matter movement and activists."
"If the government prevails against Apple, it is my fear that it will accelerate—and make easier—government efforts to 'hack' into legitimate activities of civil rights organizations and activists," Jackson said.
The FBI wants Apple to assist the authorities in unlocking the iPhone used by Syed Farook, one of the two San Bernardino shooters who killed 14 people in a terrorist attack in December. The FBI is demanding that Apple create software to help it bypass the passcode lock to enable the authorities to gain access to the encrypted iPhone. Apple is fighting Pym's order compelling it to do that. Oral arguments are set for March 22 in federal court, where Apple hopes to change the magistrate's mind.
The government claims that a 1789 law known as the All Writs Act allows judges to issue orders despite there being no law on the topic.

Club Respond To Mail On Sunday Claims
Aston Villa have released a statement concerning what they describe as an 'inaccurate, misleading and distorted' article from the Mail On Sunday.
The statement can be read in full by Clicking Here.
In short for those who aren't aware of the article, it claims some Villa players removed the 'Kick It Out' shirts 'early' and threw them to the ground in 'disgust' during the pre match warmups at Fulham.
'As is usual practice the players were split into two groups during that warm up to play possession football; in order to be distinguishable one group removed their t-shirts. The players who removed their t-shirts for this reason were Brett Holman, Joe Bennett, Fabian Delph, Darren Bent and Nathan Baker. This was not a protest. There was no controversy.
'No player threw their shirt to the ground 'in disgust'.
'Aston Villa are particularly disappointed with this irresponsible journalism, given that the journalist in question had the full facts of the matter at his disposal before this article went to press: he even asked a question regarding this issue at Saturday's post match press conference.
'His question and the manager's response are below -
'Mail on Sunday: Can you confirm they meant no disrespect to the Kick It Out campaign?
'Paul Lambert: No, not at all. We play a possession thing and that will only have been what that was…..There was no disrespect to it whatsoever. We train and then five lads wear one shirt and five wear another……. They backed it, the football club backs it to the hilt.
'Despite this, the Mail on Sunday proceeded to publish an article which is demonstrably untrue.'
Villa also prove their commitment to the cause by pointing out that we became the second club to achieve the highest level of the 'Kick It Out Equality Standard', which the club is obviously proud of.
They are also taking this matter very seriously and:
'The club have written to the Mail on Sunday today, requesting that the article be corrected and an apology published.
'We have also suggested that the Mail on Sunday makes a donation to Kick It Out to help them continue with the excellent work they do.
'Finally, we have suggested to the Mail on Sunday that they may wish to highlight - in next Sunday's edition - some of the positive events and activities that all Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, are taking part in as part of Kick It Out's Weeks of Action (which take place between October 18 and 29).'

This car replaced a BMW 08 135i for the wife to use as her "baby-mobile". Fast forward two years and we now have two boys (one 3 mos). While everything fits just fine, there is little space for long trip luggage if we put in the dual stroller.
Because we knew this is a "baby-mobile" going in, we opted for every single coverage possible so there is just able ZERO liability in the lease return. Of course since this is a "baby-mobile", we opted for all the cosmetic mods which could be easily reversed on return.
The OEM bumper step guard and rear cargo net were added on delivery as further convenience and "protection". Getting a stroller in and out plus baggage she'd be prone to scratch the top of the bumper so the guard was a no-brainer.
KMs is super low with a whopping 61,000 left over 19 months (equiv of 38,526 per year free!).
There's lots of potential in this car which we were not able to tap. I'd love to have done JDM pink springs and a Cobb AccessPORT but it's too late. Her next car looks to be a Mazda5 (or R350 Bluetec if she has her way).
Considered buying it out and reselling but there just isn't enough hours in a day anymore when you have two babies. It look over a month just to cobble these pics and get this typed up/posted.
Thanks for looking! By the way, "joyriders" need not apply. You're looking at an STI, you know what it is and it has all it's stock 300bhp. May be harsh, but we don't have much time (slots) to accommodate test rides, and there's no way my wife would go out in the car with two babies and a stranger to just to satisfy a lead foot.
EDIT: That "green" thing on the passenger seat is the strap for the rear facing baby mirror. The blue thing on the driver side dash is a bunny. Yeah, lady-driven-baby-mobile now.

I was offed a loan of R7100.00 by Sandy Aslett from Citibank Pretoria and has to pay a fee of R269.00 to obtain the loan.
I agreed paid the money and signed a contract. I could not get hold of her for most of the morning then in the late afternoon was told I needed to pay an extra R250which we did as we really needed the loan.
Again I could not get hold of her the whole morning and was again told in the afternoon that extra money had to be paid to release the funds so I have a really bad credit histroy the amount of R350. Again we did as we were told and she confirmed that the payment of the loan would reflect in my back by Saturday 12 December 2014 in the morning.
And yet again I could not get hold of her and was now at 11:00am was informed by her that a furthur amount of R149 was to be paid. I by now have had enough and told her I want a full refund as promises were not being kept. She then informs me that no refunds can be made once the payment processes has been started.
I WANT a refund from Citibank and I will let everyone know that I have opened a case of fraud against this Sandy,

Borussia Dortmund coach Jürgen Klopp says out loud what a lot of people think
We may not agree with his preference for English football–we hope he is talking about Sunderland vs Hull when he talks about "rainy day, heavy pitch, everybody is dirty in the face and they go home and can't play football for the next four weeks." But he definitely has a point about FC Barcelona's one-sided wins:
If Barcelona's team of the last four years were the first one that I saw play when I was four years of age … with their serenity, winning 5-0, 6-0 … I would have played tennis. Sorry, that is not enough for me. What I love is that there are some things you can do in football to allow each team to win most of the matches … It is not serenity football, it is fighting football – that is what I like … The important thing is new ideas, not money," he says. "It is important to make the next step. You always want to be the team that can beat the one with more money.

Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan Thursday said a very accommodative monetary policy can lead to more problems for an economy rather than help sustain growth.
Mumbai: Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan Thursday said a very accommodative monetary policy can lead to more problems for an economy rather than help sustain growth.
"A first step to prescribing the right medicine is to recognise the cause of the sickness. Extreme monetary easing, in my view, is more cause than medicine," Rajan said at Brookings Institution function in Washington.
"The sooner we recognise that, the more sustainable world growth we will have," he said.
Rajan also reiterated his call, first made at the G20 summit in Sydney in February, for more coordinated monetary policy actions between advanced and emerging economies so as to avoid the spillover effects.
He also criticised multilateral institutions like IMF at for supporting such extremely lose monetary policies, saying "official statements by multilateral institutions such as the IMF continue to endorse unconventional monetary policies while downplaying the adverse spillover effects to other countries".
He also quoted IMF's own Jonathan Ostry and Atish Ghosh, who argued that impartial international policy assessments by multilateral entities could be suspected of bias.
"When source countries move to exit unconventional policies, some recipient countries are leveraged, imbalanced, and vulnerable to capital outflows," Rajan said.
He said as investment managers anticipate consequences of the future policy path, even a measured pace of exit may cause severe market turbulence and collateral damages. "The more transparent and well-communicated the exit is, the more certain the foreign investment managers may be of changed conditions, and the more rapid their exit from risky positions," he said.
"My call is for more coordination in monetary policy because I think it would be an immense improvement over the current international non-system.
"International monetary policy coordination, of course, is unpopular among central bankers, and I therefore have to say why I reiterate the call and what I mean by it," Rajan said.
He, however, said he did not mean that central bankers should sit around a table and make policy collectively, nor does he mean they call each other regularly and coordinate actions.
"In its strong form, I propose that large country central banks, both in advanced countries and emerging markets, internalise more of the spillovers from their policies in their mandate, and are forced by new conventions on the 'rules of the game' to avoid unconventional policies with large adverse spillovers and questionable domestic benefits," he said.
The Governor suggested that, at least the central banks should reinterpret their domestic mandate to take into account other country reactions over time, and become more sensitive to spillovers.

Chap 23Take a deeper look at me, cinder-Jay
Time has passed. Jay never told you about his feelings towards G.Na and you didn't want to know either, afraid you'll get hurt. But on the other hand, you've been confused with your own feelings as well. You started to think Jonghyun is the
6 months later...
"What's the rush?" Jonghyun asked Jay when you and Jonghyun saw him running around the house, panicked.
"G.Na's Mom is in danger! That psycho! i've got to go there and meet her." Jay said and rushed out of the room.
"Do you think he still loves her?" You asked but jonghyun just shrugs.
"What are you going to do today oppa?" you asked again while jonghyun washed the dishes.
"um.. i have something to do.... later... " he said nervously.
"Can i come?" you asked but he shook his head.
"cause it's.... you know... Oh! look at the time! I better go now! Bye ____!" he said and run out of the house, leaving you speechless.
'what the hell was that?' you thought.
You decided to spend your days baking cookies. Around 6 p.m, when you were sitting on the counter, munching some of the cookies, you received two texts.
From: Jay
Hey, can i see you at the cafe near the hospital in 30 min?
From: Jonghyun
meet me at the park in 30 min?
You bit your lips, not knowing who to choose. After a while you decided to text them.
To: ######
Okay :)
You smiled, satisfied with your choice and wear something nice before you walked out of the house.
"where to miss?" the cab driver asked.
"Hospital please..." you smile.
"You're wearing such pretty clothes to hospital?" he asked.
"oh no, ajushi... it's the cafe near the hospital..." You explained.
20 minutes later you've arrived. You went out and pay for the cab.
"ajushi, can you please wait here for a while?" you asked and he nods.
"anything for pretty agashi" he said and you smiled.

"Celebrity" waiters will serve up food, fun and 'Rock and Roll' at the Heights Foundation's Celebrity Waiter Dinner hosted by Yabo Restaurant on Monday, October 15 from 6:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m.
Online PR News – 03-October-2012 – Fort Myers, FL – "Celebrity" waiters will serve up food, fun and 'Rock and Roll' at the Heights Foundation's Celebrity Waiter Dinner hosted by Yabo Restaurant on Monday, October 15 from 6:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. Local musicians will fill in as wait staff and compete for tips that inspire bidding wars among guests - including an opportunity to sit in with the band. Funds raised will benefit School Success programs for at-risk kids in the Harlem Heights neighborhood.
"School Success means the whole kid, the whole year; providing academic tutoring, after school and summer camp programs, college scholarship and support, school supplies, and tuition support", said Kathryn Kelly, President and CEO of The Heights Foundation. Nearly $20,000 was raised at last year's event.
Alter Ego band members Dr. Larry Hobbs, Ernie Cantu, Richie Ianuzzi and Doug Molloy alongside Emmy-award winning flutist and composer Kat Epple, singer-songwriter Wendy Webb, Grammy-award winning songwriter Randy Thomas and local personalities Amy Sedlacek and Victor Mayeron will all compete for tips.
"Yabo is known for great food, unique wine and eclectic musical entertainment," said Kelly. "This will be a fun evening that supports our mission to build strong, self-sufficient families in the Harlem Heights neighborhood, through education, opportunity, and enrichment."
Yabo Restaurant is located at 16230 Summerlin Road in Fort Myers. To reserve seats for the dinner, call Yabo at (239) 225-9226 by Thursday, October 11.

About the Heights Foundation and the Heights Center
The Heights Center, supported by the Heights Foundation, is a place for Education, Opportunity, and Enrichment. We work to build strong, self-sufficient families in the Harlem Heights neighborhood. As a 501(c)3 grassroots organization, the Center's mission is to promote family and community development, support education, health and wellness, and provide the benefits of enrichment, expressive and cultural arts. The Heights Center is under construction and will be completed this December.
Harlem Heights was originally settled as a rural agricultural community. Approximately 1,200 children live in a mixture of single-family homes and multi-family apartments. Demographically, the population is approximately 55% Hispanic, 36% African-American, and 9% Caucasian. The poverty rate for children in Harlem Heights is more than twice the county average, with family income 40% below the county average. Families are not able to easily access family support services located in downtown Fort Myers, and benefit greatly from programs located within the neighborhood.

Its time to sort a few photos and archive some of my 2014 collection of random photos taken on the streets. During this process, I managed to select just 15 photos from the many random days I have had on the streets of Brisbane taking photos. I often get asked what I see or how I find something interesting in such a small country city, however, with a little patience you will always find something to photograph. Whether you like what you photograph is a whole different question. Many times I will arrive back home to look at photos and not like a single photo that I have taken and then other times when I don't think I have any photos worth displaying to others a surprise photo jumps out at me on the large screen. Reflecting on the 15 photos that I chose here, I came to these conclusions about how I shot these. I preferred black and white for a majority of them, I shot with the following focal lengths and lenses - Olympus 12mm, Panasonic Leica Noctocron 42.5mm, Voigtlander 17.5mm (one of my most used lenses for all my photography in 2014), Olympus 25mm. I also shot mainly with these cameras; Olympus OM-D E-M1, Olympus OM-D E-M5, Panasonic GH3, Panasonic GH4, Ricoh GR and the iPhone. The following photos can also be found in my newly revamped gallery. A direct link to this is http://elusivelycaptured.com. Enjoy the photos - and remember that these are a selection of 15 photos from many hundreds of photos that I took on the streets of Brisbane. They are not necessarily the best photos of Brisbane City.

Me Time – It's All The RageJuly 29, 2009
I don't get any Me Time. Why is that?
I am not overly controlling when it comes to Penny. I've accepted that Court puts her diapers on differently than I do. I know when he changes her clothes, chances are they won't be a matching outfit. I know his version of "getting up with Penny on the weekend" entails Penny falling back asleep in her bouncer chair while Daddy plays Wii. And I know that when he feeds her, not one drop hits her bib, and the dishes are empty when they're done. I'm ok with all of that, because I know to stress out about any of it will just drain me more than I already am drained. I do admit though, I let him swaddle her to go to sleep, and I let him do it his way. But after 3 or 4 attempts where she just won't go to sleep, I'll go and swaddle her my way. It works – most of the time.
I don't have too much of an issue leaving Penny with babysitters either (babysitters being Nana and Grampa or her other Grandpa or Grandma). I don't feel the need to leave them with 600 instructions, although I might leave a few. I'll point out if she has a diaper rash, or let them know where the food is. I don't try to tell them how to feed her. I don't panic when we come home while she's eating and – heaven forbid – doesn't have a bib on. They've all done this before. Court and I both survived, so that has to stand for something.
So if Court can handle being alone with Penny, why don't I get any Me Time. And if we can handle leaving Penny with grandparents, why don't we get any Us Time?
I know why I don't get any Me Time. But I don't understand why. Why is it that I feel like I need to be SuperMom? I have this obsession with proving to everyone (who everyone is, I'm not sure) that I can do it. I can hack being a parent. I can take Penny and do groceries without any help. I can do all the running around that needs to get done. I can do the housework… oh who am I kidding? I don't do housework. I do some laundry – when it gets hard to climb Mount Laundrynus to get into the bedroom, or when the lack of clean underthings becomes an issue. But why do I need to prove this to everyone? No one has ever said anything to me to the contrary. I've never felt awash by someone's doubt that I can be a good mom.
Because I need to be SuperMom – I need to carry Penny in my mei tai, and have 16 grocery bags on my arm, and the dog on the leash, and that 20-foot high ball of laundry from the commercial is chasing me down – I don't get Me Time.
I want to go swimming, just for something to do. Actually it's one of very few things that I can envision myself doing sans baby or husband. I honestly don't know what else I would do without them. Maybe I'd consider taking some classes at the University and start on a degree in HR. It's hard to justify that though when the classes are in the $400 range EACH and you need like 30 of them for the degree. We're building a house right now, people! $400 is 1/3 of a mortgage payment! The only other thing I could see myself doing alone is shopping. Ah, Retail Therapy. Nothing can beat spending money, especially on wants, not needs. Although if it's needs we need, then by all means therapy away! But then again, we're building a house here, people! Hmm, not so much retail therapy then.
Going for a walk by myself is not a Me Time option. I feel bad because the dog could be walking with me. If I take the dog, Court feels guilty for not taking her for a walk, and then he has to come too. And if the dog and Court come with me, well… Penny has to come too. Strange how that works.
I know I need Me Time. And after 6 months of not having any Me Time, I sort of need it desperately. I just don't know how to get it or what to do with it when I do have it.
