I have an Electrolux Commercial Upright vacuum Model U129C. It has a device which turns off the motor driving the beater bar if something gets stuck in it. There is a simple reset button to restart the beater after clearing the obstruction.

This doesn't happen on high pile carpet but the motor doesn't quite sound normal. There is no obstruction - the beater bar can spin freely

Samsung makes two main version of the Galaxy S 4 for different markets. One packs a 1.6Ghz Exynos 5 Octa-Core processor (two quad-core processors running in sequence. One set for low load processing to conserve energy and the other for high load processing for maximum performance) and the other sports a more conventional yet still fast 1.9GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon processor, both versions will get 2GB of RAM and a choice of either 16GB/32GB/64GB of storage with MicroSD expansion.
So which version will come to Malaysia?
If this list revealed by SamMobile is accurate, we might get both versions with the possibility of the Octa-Core unit having 3G connectivity and the quad-core packing some 4G heat, and it's very likely that both versions will have 16GB of on-board storage.
If you're wondering:
GT-I9500 = Exynos
GT-I9505 = Snapdragon
What about availability?
The Galaxy S 4 will represent another important and major milestone for Samsung in Malaysia, and naturally reps are tight-lipped on when the device will released here but we've been seeing some frantic activity to know that Samsung Malaysia is hard at work to have the Galaxy S 4 in Malaysian stores as soon as possible. If we have to guestimate, things will happen before June, maybe even as early as mid April.
And the price?
Expect the Galaxy S 4 to sell for around the same money as the Galaxy S III when it was launched last year — that's around RM2,200.
And…that's pretty much it for now. We'll share details once we get them. Thanks for dropping by.

cant wait for this…
I "love plastic "….
If this proves to be true, this will be the best news i've heard on the new s4. Being an avid custom rom fan since the days team cyanogenmod started rolling out their roms for gingerbread, it kinda broke my heart that exynos didnt wanna support rom developers anymore since last year. That meant there can never be stable roms for exynos products. Only qualcomm continued support n thus thats why the i9100g which uses qualcomm can be running on JB 4.2.2 n definitely KLP 5.0 thanks to stable roms.
Why is it such a big deal u may wonder? Biggest reason would be: Manufacturers typically remove firmware support for their phones after a year or two. Which means u're stuck with whatever version of android they give u up till then. The only hope consumers of these phones can get if they wanna run on newer versions of android after that would be custom roms. N u need them to be stable for better user experience. N stable only comes for mon-exynos products because only exynos arent helping these rom developers.
So, a big bravo n thumbs up to samsung if this turns into reality. 🙂
lol…i9100G uses OMAP4430 chipset…not qualcomm
lol thanks lol for lol pointing lol that lol out lol
not enough knowledge..
that why … lost their point…
cm no need base info..
i agree. but speaking of knowledge:
"Right now the formula reads as follows:
Qualcomm + TI = good chances for AOSP
Samsung + Nvidia = chances for AOSP are bad to none at all"
i think he meant exynos instead of samsung, n yeah i may have gotten mixed up between qualcomm n TI, but the point is there about anything exynos. just sharing. 🙂
dont talk before try..
dif processor..
n4 too..
we'll, lets just hope for the best, wise man. 🙂
it was an honest mistake. well, lets just hope for the best, wise man. 🙂
nope.. cm_lover has a valid point based on Samsung's Exynos contribs' track record to the dev community = piss poor. And those containing Exynos are all top sellers. Yet it's the i9100g that enjoys 99% 4.2.2 experience on CM10.1 nightly builds right now. Also consider this, i9505 has another added adv = LTE hence why it's a selected variant and a much better ROI, the Exynos 5410 aka Exynos 5 Octa are w/o.
btw smartass if by n4 you meant Nexus 4, LG could have slapped a no name China designed SoC in it and still it'll enjoy the strong dev support because… it's a friggin' NEXUS ffs -.- Nothing w/ a Nexus badge can come out w/o a guaranteed Google main support.
love it..top notch plastic
I just acknowledged that Galaxy S4 doesn't have a radio either..
The GT-I9500 Galaxy S4 (Exynos 5 Octa) supports LTE and all 20 bands.

Improved Operations, Great Synergy and Sustained Growth will Add to
One of South's Best Known Brands
Atlanta, GA- – – President and CEO Douglas R. Pendergast announced that Gary Clough has been named Chief Operating Officer of The Krystal Company. Clough joins one of the South's best known brands after serving as Senior Vice President of Operations for the South Region with Arby's. In that position, Clough had oversight of 380 company-owned and 540 franchised restaurants, which made up approximately 1/3 of the Arby's system. He was responsible for 14 Senior Directors, 51 Area Managers, and ten Franchise Training Leaders.
Clough has a strong record of success in the QSR (Quick Serve Restaurant) industry. Born into the family restaurant business, Clough moved south for college and later began working from the ground up for a North Carolina-based Domino's franchisee and ultimately became Director of Operations for 33 units. After leaving Domino's, Clough became Regional Director of operations for Boston Chicken where he opened 50 units in a five year period.
In 1988, Clough joined RTM and later, was promoted to Vice President of Operations. When the company merged with Arby's in 2005, Clough was tasked with responsibility for over 700 restaurants in the Midwest, which soon became the top performing region in the company.
As COO, Gary Clough will be responsible for all company store operations.
"It's an honor for me to join the Krystal team," said Clough, "This is a very strong brand and the team I'm joining is nothing short of extraordinary. I'm looking forward to working with each of them as we grow the Krystal brand and provide a great experience for present and future Krystal Lovers."
Pendergast said, "We are excited to welcome Gary Clough to the Krystal family. His extensive success in our industry makes him a perfect fit for the Krystal brand. Like each member of our team, Gary is dedicated to making sure we meet the standards set for us more than 80 years ago by our founders when they opened the first Krystal in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He shares the same philosophies of serving freshly prepared food in a spotless environment by a courteous efficient staff at the best price possible. These are high standards and we're honored that Gary will be one of our leaders in achieving them."
Clough, his wife Vicki and their children, Stephen and Lauren will reside in Atlanta.

LEBANON JUNCTION - For nearly a decade folks working in Lebanon Junction have paid .8 percent of their salaries to the city in occupational license fees or occupational taxes as they're commonly referred to, but workers may be paying more in the near future if City Council acts on a proposal to raise the rate to 1 percent.
During the July regular meeting of the Lebanon Junction City Council, councilman Steve Masden suggested increasing the occupational fee rate to help the city meet its obligations and have money set aside for unforeseen expenses.

|Couch and Varnish
|Sun, 07 Nov 2010 10:28:49 GMT
Hello, I'd like to ask if anyone has some experience to share regarding accelerating Couch with Varnish. I think lots of us are doing it, but can't find too much info around. Originally, I thought it would be possible to use ETags with some proper Varnish configuration (eg. "accumulate" concurrent requests and pass only one to the backend, etc), but that seems not to be possible, since Varnish does not pass ETags to the backend [http://lists.varnish-cache.org/pipermail/varnish-misc/2010-November/004997.html ]. As I understand it now, the only way how to cache Couch's response would be with time-based caching, and either using the cached response until it auto-expires, or expire the cached response via PURGE commands. Of course, it would be possible and technically trivial to send purge requests via the _changes feed or via the "update_notification" mechanism. As I see it, the tricky part would be to know which objects to purge, based on individual document changes. Because not only single documents, but also aggregated view results or fulltext queries would get cached. Of course, "there are two hard thing in computer science ...". Has anyone put any thoughts/work into this? Thanks, Karel

Friendship stronger than fiction
Page Tools
Disappointed ... Rachel Richardson. She met Norma Khouri, the author of Forbidden Love, last November and joined her in campaigning against honour killings. Photo: Jon Reid
It was Rachel Richardson's daughter who introduced her to Norma Khouri.
"My daughter and Norma's were best friends at school in Caboolture," Ms Richardson said. "I went to Norma's house to pick my daughter up after a sleepover and meant to stay five minutes. I didn't walk out of the house until six hours later."
The meeting, last November, was the beginning of a devoted friendship. Ms Richardson became "adviser and campaign manager" to Khouri, who was consumed with her ambition to end honour killings, the practice of murdering women for reasons of family honour about which she had written in her best-selling book Forbidden Love.
"I felt I needed to stand by her, help her," Ms Richardson said. "Here was this woman putting her life on the line to help thousands of others."
Khouri was living on Bribie Island with her Greek-American husband, John Toliopoulos, and their two children - having said in interviews that she was single - but told Ms Richardson the children were not hers. Now Ms Richardson knows that Khouri is not who she said she was.
"In the first week I was in shock, and I still believed her," Ms Richardson said. "But the newspaper stories were pretty thorough and, little by little, in our phone calls, the truth came out. Finally she admitted to me that the children are hers.
"What disappoints me is that she could trust me enough to put her children in my care but not trust me enough to tell me the truth about herself."
Ms Richardson, 37, featured in a 1996 ABC documentary, Rachel's Story, which told of the former prostitute's dedication to helping other prostitutes escape Kings Cross. She has raised money for Amnesty International, cancer sufferers and Camp Dare, an organisation that helps young people overcome drug addiction.
Soon after meeting Khouri, Ms Richardson was giving four hours a day to her campaign to end honour killings around the world.
This came to an end on July 23, the day before the Herald published revelations that Khouri was Norma Bagain, a married American, and Forbidden Love was a hoax. Khouri's publishers have since withdrawn the book and cancelled the sequel.
"Norma had been talking with [the Herald] and she told me there were going to be these stories about her the next day. She said she'd have to go back to Jordan for her evidence. I bawled my eyes out."
After the stories appeared, Khouri changed her mind and flew to the United States. Ms Richardson bought her ticket.
Once she realised who Khouri was, Ms Richardson urged her friend to come out publicly and to acknowledge that the book itself was fiction but was based on a genuine desire to eradicate honour killings.
"I told her that we all have pasts, and she had to get out and admit she'd made mistakes but put it all behind her so we can get on with the campaign. I said people would support her if she told the truth. She said: 'Really?"'
Ms Richardson helped Khouri negotiate a television interview on Saturday via satellite link from the US with Channel Nine's Ray Martin. It is expected to be broadcast this week.
"I still see [Khouri] as a friend," Ms Richardson said.
"I don't hate her. But she owes me an explanation for why our friendship was based on a lie from the day we met."

The attacking midfielder was one consistent positive for the Aquile last term and has attracted reported interest from a number of parties, just as Lazio look to tie up the remaining 50 per cent of his ownership from Udinese.
Links of late have suggested prospective bids from Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli, with the latter coming amid speculation Lotito had discussed a possible deal with Aurelio De Laurentiis.
However, today he has made clear that this is not the case.
"Honestly, I don't know anything. Indeed, it is an hypothesis that I want to categorically deny," Lotito has told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli today.
"I did not speak with Napoli's club President Aurelio De Laurentiis on this and when we have spoken, or when we have met at the Lega offices, we have never discussed the possibility of our player wearing the shirt of Napoli next season.
"Candreva does not move from Lazio."

Need new stove
I'm a new comer. I'm a 72 year old male and love to cook. And love to bake!
I'm looking to buy a new stove and am looking at GE 30" free standing Gas range model # JGB600DETWW 5 burner stove $1066.00 out the door.
My problem is everywhere I go online there are such horrendous reviews of so many ranges.
The above range has one oven and I'm really envious of the dual oven models but the most I can afford is 1500.00 and would like a five year warrantee as well.

By bringing the bar down to the planks instead of all the way to your chest, you effectively shorten the distance the weight has to travel, he says. This allows you to lift heavier loads since you don't have to press the bar as far.
You can also zero in on sticking points, which are the most difficult portions of the exercise, says Gaddour. If you find the bar falters at the bottom or middle of your press, use one to three boards at a time. For more lockout work at the top of the press, opt for four to five boards.
Gaddour demonstrates the technique in the video above. He uses a product called Bench Blokz since they attach directly to the barbell. If you don't have access to them, use two-by-fours like the classic bodybuilders—but make sure a partner holds the boards in place.

If it fails the coalescing then Linux will just do1 IO for each block. When you have lots of memory, it may happen thenumber of entries in the request array (NR_REQUEST) be not enough forthis coalescing to occur in some situations that may not be rare given theway the buffer cache actually work.In my opinion, it is a lot more important in Linux that the coalescingdoes occur than the ordering of requests be really the best possible one. Obviously the ordering is also important, even when using modern SCSI disks that have a very well optimized seek algorithm.Regards, Gerard.-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to email@example.com read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Sorry 2014, but you are going to find it a real struggle to top a tour like this, with the Killswitch Engage/Trivium co-headline tour rolling into town, with Battlecross and Miss May I in support. This show was always going to be special, and from start to finish each band was flawless; more riffs than you could shake many sticks at!
Making their UK debut were US Metallers, Battlecross who just came out and showed no signs of nerves, they settled in with so much ease and they brought a great live performance. It's the first time this band have played venues this big outside the USA, but they sounded like their big hitting metal anthems belonged to venues this size; it's amazing to see a band making their UK debut with so much confidence and conviction. They got heads banging and bodies moving, and as their lead singer said before the show, "We are the foreplay band" – they certain did tickle the audience pretty well! Playing tracks 'Beast' and 'Flesh & Bone' which, if given more exposure over here, could be big big songs for this band, they are playing Download in the summer and I cannot stress enough how much you have to check out this band!
Miss May I are another band set to make waves this year and prove yet again that this bill is one of the best to hit these shores! They storm their way through a set that sees lead singer Levi Benton command the stage, with the band showing that they are firing on all cylinders tonight.
They have already built a great reputation as a live band and they live up to the hype surrounding them at the moment, with a fierce and bold statement. With tracks like 'Hey Mister' in their back catalogue, which is an absolute banger, they have easily picked up more fans tonight. With a brand new album set for release this year, it was perfect timing for the band to lay down a new song in the form of 'Gone' which sounded ferocious and got bodies flailing.
Trivium came to the stage armed with brand new tracks of their latest album Vengeance Falls, which is an album that hasn't spent that long playing through my speakers, but that has all changed now. The songs on this album have been constructed solely for ripping venues like Brixton academy apart; they are brutal with a healthy dose of riffs! The stage set up was impressive to say the least, and they pulled out all the tricks from up their sleeves. They had what destroyed the Titanic as their stage, with a giant iceberg filling up the stage, which looked amazing. This band still reach new heights with each show they play; they have mastered playing venues like this, and their anthems just sound immense in the aesthetics of the venue. It was a daring set from the band, playing a large amount of Vengeance Falls and playing tracks they have only just started to play on this tour. It was gutsy but they pulled it off and the reaction to songs like 'Strife' were phenomenal, the crowd went into a frenzy of swirling bodies! Matt Heafy's voice is still prime and just gets better with age, the man is a complete metal frontman and he can shred on the lead guitar like a trooper as well. The set then transpired into something astronomical; the band played some right classics, like Down From The Sky and A Gunshot to the head of trepidation, which saw the crowd going absolutely wild.
One song that made its return to the Trivium setlist was the epic 11 minute long behemoth that is Shogun, which saw the snow fall to the stage and the crowd transfixed on the playing abilities that these musicians possess. However despite the spectacle, you can't help feel that this made things a little subdued, it took up 1/6 of their set, which could have made way for more songs from In Waves, but that's a personal opinion as I love the rest of the album! All in all it was a spectacular set from Trivium, and they showed why so many people think they're an amazing act.
A band who seem to be completely relentlessly unstoppable at the moment is Killswitch Engage and tonight sees them really bring the fury, it's a career defining performance! Since Jesse has returned the band have gone through a bit of a face-lift, and it has allowed them to write something fresh and exciting in the form of Disarm The Dissent, which was a true return to form. Tonight sees them completely steal the show- they are a band rejuvenated and ready to take over the world yet again and they prove that metalcore is still very much alive, especially with the pioneers still being on such great form.
This was the perfect Killswitch setlist, from start to finish they blended the old with new and the classics with the fan favourites. Jesse Leach has really come into his and has completely upped his game to smash his way through the Howard era songs and put his own personal stamp on them; he has made them his songs and the band couldn't sound any better. Churning out the classics like 'Arms Of Sorrow', 'My Last Serenade' and 'The End Of Heartache' lead to sing-alongs that would awaken any foul beast from their internal slumber!
The band were wiping the floor with anyone in their path at the moment and the excitement surrounding Killswitch yet again is paramount. We were hit with a few tracks off the fantastic Disarm The Dissent which are already on the level with some of the classics, 'New Awakening' and 'In Due Time' have already reached that anthem status. The whole performance just mind-blowing and guitarist Adam was up to his usual bizarre antics, donning a pair of short shorts. I mean really, they were short, and coupled with a tight vest and a bandana, he looked like rather ravishing to say the least. Jokes aside, this is a band you should all start taking seriously again, the kings of metalcore have reclaimed their crown and are still redefining that genre of music. We Salute you!

Greetings and Salutations!
Here are the "minutes" from tonight's "meeting". Note the use of quotes; it wasn't much of a meeting, and these aren't really minutes, but I wanted to give all you guys that weren't there an idea what went on. First of all we watched ST:TNG (obviously). It was "The Chase": the episode where the Big E, the Roms, Klingons, and the Cards race to solve a puzzle made up of DNA fragments spread across the galaxy. Afterwards, the 1st Officer (Bobby Ray) debriefed us on his trip to the Peoria "Trek Day" featuring John DeLance (Q). He got an autographed picture for the club. He also bought "Ol' Yellow Eyes is Back" (for himself), which we listened to. Brent Spiner is actually a pretty good singer if you like the "oldies" (e.g. Sinatra). We also reminded the Grand Nagus (Joe) to bring the budget to the next meeting. We're probably going to get the Constitution and the autographed picture framed. Well, that's about all I can remember (like I said, these aren't really minutes; I'm doing this from memory). Hope to see you weeknights at 9 in the Wyckoff/Harper TV Lounge.

Erik Dahlström: > > What are the use-cases for wanting to do overflow="visible" on a pattern > tile? Are there any of those use-cases that cannot be solved by editing the > pattern tile so that it fits inside the defined viewport? > With perfect implementations there is of course always a workaround, first creating a larger part of the pattern manually then searching a rectangular viewBox for the repetition. With overflow="visible" a problem-oriented clipping path may work better to safe some time and work or to gain some more precision. This approach seems to be necessary for most of the 17 wallpaper groups (or plane crystallographic group) possible for periodic tilings, because SVG has only a convenient way to describe the p1 group. For others the size of the viewBox is often an irrational number, therefore precision of display is essential - but if not available an author may have another chance to work around the problem with overflow="visible" to compensate some nasty clipping effects. And obviously it can be slightly simpler to provide the pattern with overflow="visible" for some of the 17 groups. Developing completely asymmetric pieces in the M.C. Escher style of tiling by warping initially simple paths, it happens often, that parts of the pieces fall out of the viewBox - they are simply missing in another area of the tiling of course, to fill the viewBox without the use of overflow="visible" requires to add more copies to the pattern element manually. This would not be necessary with overflow="visible" - of course it typically creates no overlap-conflict. More arbitrary approaches to get a pattern do. The first time I wanted to use overflow="visible" was a combination with a partly transparent gradient to simulate something like the distribution of the electron clouds of atoms on a regular surface with a p6m group. It turned out, that without overflow="visible" one has to provide much more of the pattern manually to get the intended effect in some viewers with some rendering problems (I still don't know how to do it with pattern for the Adobe plugin; for most viewers today it works indeed better with a massive use of use elements or very huge paths than with pattern to create a pattern of proper quality). Another interesting case was an accuracy problem of Opera with a p31m group - maybe Opera rounded numbers of the viewBox somehow - such inaccuracy could have maybe covered by the author, if Opera had not ignored the overflow="visible" too ;o) The problems of Opera and the Adobe plugin show, that the residuals from clipping to a rectangular viewBox causes problems for many tilings of some of the 17 groups. The other point is of course, that it is already available in SVG1.1, therefore it should be defined in a meaningful way and leading to something useful for authors, maybe simplifying both the creation of pattern with higher symmetries and to work around inaccuracies of viewers.

Javier Galeano, Associated Press
A host of higher education groups are urging Pres. Barack Obama to re-open academic travel to Cuba to ease study abroad and student exchanges between the two countries.
Led by NAFSA: Association of International Educators and signed by 18 different organizations, the letter bolsters its case by quoting the president, who recently said to a group of students in Turkey, "exchanges can break down the walls between us."
Academic travel to Cuba took a nosedive after 2004, when the Bush administration imposed strict regulations on travel.
According to the Institute of International Education, 220 American college students studied in Cuba during the 2006-2007 academic year, down from around 2,200 three years earlier.
The letter also urges granting of U.S. visas for Cubans coming to the United States for exchange purposes, as well as academic, cultural, religious, sports and professional visits. It also urges the Cuban government to grant exit visas for students and scholars accepted by US academic institutions.

Who we work with - Carcassonne Airport
The French city of Carcassonne lies in southern France, not a million miles from the Spanish border. Served by Carcassonne Airport (also known as Carcassonne Salvaza Airport), you can get your holiday off to a great start in no time, as it is located just a short 15 minute drive from the city centre.
As a UNESCO World Heritage site, it certainly has plenty to offer the visitor and its ideal location means that should you have your fill, there is more than enough nearby to keep you occupied.
Things to See and Do in Carcassonne
The city of Carcassonne is divided in two parts; the medieval walled city and the town centre, better known as Ville Basse. It is the walled city, Cité de Carcassonne, which is a UNESCO site and is essentially a medieval fortress with a history that dates back over 2,500 years. Much of the fortifications have experienced reconstruction, primarily during the 19th Century but they haven't lost any of their charm. With over 50 towers and more than 3km of walls, the area is vast and enchanting and simply must be explored during your time here, including the breathtaking castle and its contents too!
In Ville Basse, you can spend hours traversing streets which are filled with French bistros, cafes and restaurants and of course a very healthy selection of boutiques and shops. Be sure also to venture to the Canal port, where you can embark on a canal boat trip on Canal du Midi. You could even rent your own boat if you prefer, or take a short half day trip.
Day Trips From Carcassonne
Travel out towards the shoreline and traverse the city of Narbonne. It can be reached in just 45 minutes by car and is worth the journey for this historic city is very much a hidden gem. Amble around the Cathedral and unearth the history of the area with a visit to the Musée Archeologique. Its coastal location means you can head to the beach in the afternoon too, just a short 15km drive from the city centre.
Perpignan is only a stones' throw away too, a famous French city with plenty on offer. Sample some of the fabulous cuisine and of course the wine, should you be staying for a night or two. View the marvellous Palais des Rois de Majorque (The Palace of the Kings of Majorca) and stroll through the attractive Saint-Jean quarter.
Hop in your hire car and head north to the city of Toulouse. It's only an hour's drive away but has endless hours of entertainment on offer. Architecturally speaking, it's a treasure trove of impressive buildings from the bridges spanning the river to the many churches speckling the streets.Book now

Boston, MA (PRWEB) April 02, 2014
Today, VizSAFE, the first community safety social network announced updates to their mobile crowdsourcing platform in time to enhance safety and awareness at the 118th Annual Boston Marathon. VizSAFE's mobile App and website, like other social media, is free and empowers the "crowd" to capture and map photos or videos of anything that impacts the well-being of the Marathon community. This content is instantly shared with other concerned citizens and is actionable by first responders when appropriate. The VizSAFE mobile app can be downloaded at the iTunes and/or Android Store or http://www.vizsafe.com/bostonmarathon.
After last year's Marathon tragedy, investigators reviewed 13,000 videos and 120,000 photos, much of it sent by fans from their smartphones to help law enforcement. The participation of the "crowd" was enthusiastic and immediate, yet law enforcement analysts were challenged by the lack of a platform to collect and organize this content in an efficient way. As a result, the data mining effort to process and analyze all of the submitted content was unprecedented. VizSAFE is a free platform that solves this problem by aggregating, organizing, mapping and sharing this content with fans, family and first responders in real-time to improve community safety at events, and in everyday life. "Enabling ordinary citizens to crowdsource community safety content, especially around major events like the Boston Marathon, is a powerful benefit of the intersection of mobile technology and social networks," said Peter Mottur, CEO of Rhode Island based VizSAFE.
"If everybody on the route has this app they are the eyes and ears of the police department in real time," said Lt. William Fitzgerald of the Newport, RI Police Department, who encouraged citizens to bring VizSAFE on their mobile devices to this year's Newport St. Patrick's Day Parade.
Peter Mottur, added "Looked at from the perspective of citizens, it is a way to actively engage in the well being of their community. Looked at from the perspective of first responders, the crowd is a powerful force multiplier. This was borne out by our experience working with the Port Authority of NY & NJ Police Department at this year's Super Bowl."
About VizSAFE, Inc.
VizSAFE is the only 24/7 global platform dedicated to community safety. VizSAFE's innovative social and mobile web community harnesses the power of citizens to enhance event and community safety by crowdsourcing, organizing and sharing visual safety content in real-time. VizSAFE users are fans and neighbors who support their communities, as well as first responders in fire, emergency medical, law enforcement, environmental, animal safety and more.

No More "Dress For Success"
Every day, every year, the same....
Navy suit, white shirt. Grey suit, white shirt. Navy grey white navy grey white....
It served her well - she was very successful. She worked 7 days a week; she really didn't have a leisure life - her idea of being dressed down was to wear an old work shirt with old pants from a pantsuit. Jeans? Not in her vocabulary. A cardigan? Would get you a visit from the chairman of the firm...
But now that she was leaving the office world, her heart cried out for brown. The color of dirt. The color of chocolate. And khaki - sand, and stones, and natural things....
And PINK. Because she would never have dared to wear pink in her old, very conservative, work environment.
So her first day of retirement, she went shopping! And started here:
The scarf with flowers was SUCH a revelation! And being allowed to wear a shirt that wasn't white (or light blue), and that matched her pants - well, it was a whole new world of loving clothes!
She put on her new outfit, and went shopping again. First thing HAS to be more pink, because she loves it, and because it will be so perfect with her scarf:
Tee – L.L.Bean
After decades of wearing a blazer EVERY DAY, she longed for something soft, and knitty, and casual...
Cardigan – L.L.Bean
Wearing pants wasn't QUITE unheard of in her life - she had 2 pantsuits, strictly for Fridays, of course. When she realized that she could wear corduroy, and nobody would care, she was all in:
Pants – L.L.Bean
After a few days with her new things, she began to realize that there was a world of clothing that she could wear EVERY DAY now; shirts without collars? Heck yes!
|Top – Dorothy Perkins
The warmth, and relaxed comfort, of cardigans made her so happy - it was a level of unstructured dressing that she barely remembered from college.
Cardigan – Uniqlo
After a few days, she took the plunge. But not BLUE jeans - she'd had quite enough blue, thank you! Lovely sand...
|Jeans – J. Crew
Pink AND striped? Be still, her beating heart!
|Top – L.L.Bean
She began to feel joy in small, feminine details - pleats called her name...
|Blouse – Lands' End
In the midst of all of this sensory delight, she was trying to be a bit practical. She realized that another pair of pants would be helpful, so she indulged her brown longings:
Pants – L.L.Bean
When one spends their spare time reading contract law updates, the finer nuances of available clothing can be lost. When she started seeing the options of detail and cut, with feminine and pretty details, she just pulled out her wallet and treated herself; it had been decades since she enjoyed shopping this much!
|Top – European Culture
After a while, she realized that she reached for her brown cashmere sweater ALL THE TIME, and decided that it was time to bring a brown cardigan into the mix. If you find yourself wearing something all the time, think about the possibility of a similar piece with just a bit of difference...
Cardigan – Fabiana Filippi
THIS decision took a long time... skirts weren't something that she ever thought she would wear AGAIN in her life! But she realized that now, she could wear a skirt on her own terms, in her chosen colors, styles, and ensembles. Much different than wearing a skirted suit most of the time!
|Skirt – L.L.Bean
The world of printed clothes gave her tons of pleasure; a relaxed top in a warm pink floral print can call to her from a LONG way away in a department store...
|blouse - Twin-Set
When she looked in her closet now, it was pretty sparse, but beautifully coordinated. She saw only things that she loved, and that she enjoyed wearing. Now, to find accessories...

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) would roll back several big, and popular, tax provisions in the long-awaited tax reform plan he's releasing Wednesday, according to a Joint Committee on Taxation analysis obtained by The Hill.
His plan also lowers the cap on the mortgage interest deduction from $1 million to $500,000, reduces rates for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and taxes certain contributions to 401(k) plans.
The Ways and Means Committee chairman reaches the House GOP goal of reducing the top individual rate to 25 percent. But he does that with a 10 percent surtax on certain family income over $450,000, a maneuver that some conservatives say just means the top tax rate in the plan is actually 35 percent.
Stephen Moore of the Heritage Foundation, one of those conservatives, called the rate "still too high and an unnecessary nod to the class warriors on the left."
But Heritage Action, the foundation's political arm, gave a rousing welcome to Camp's plan, saying the Ways and Means chairman was right to circulate a draft that would make established interests uncomfortable.
"This tax reform proposal is an important step in launching a debate on how to revive the American economy after years of mismanagement. Chairman Camp framed the fight perfectly," Michael Needham of Heritage Action said in a statement.
"While not perfect, there is much to applaud in the Chairman's work, and we look forward to working with the House to improve this legislation and provide the American people with the economic opportunities they deserve."
Camp, speaking to reporters on Wednesday, defended the surtax, noting that the Joint Committee on Taxation classified the top rate as 25 percent, and that 99 percent of taxpayers would pay that level or below.
"There's tremendous simplification by going from seven brackets to two," Camp said.
On the corporate side of the tax code, Camp also reduces the rate to 25 percent, by taking two percentage points off the current 35 percent rate a year over a five-year span.
Camp rolls back an accelerated cost recovery system, stretches out depreciation schedules and installs a system that would shield most corporate offshore income from U.S. taxation.
His plan also would change the popular research-and-development tax credit and a tax break used by advertisers.

|Phase I Study of Chemokine and Cytokine Gene Modified Autologous Neuroblastoma Cells for Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Neuroblastoma Using an Adenoviral Vector (CYCHE)
|Brief Summary
This research study is designed to determine the safety and dosage of special cells that may make a patients own immune system fight the cancer. To do this we will put two special genes into cancer cells taken from the patients body. The genes we put in make the cancer cells produce lymphotactin, a natural substance that attracts immune system cells to the cancer, and IL-2 a natural substance that may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Some of these cells will then be put back in the patient's body. Studies of cancers in animals and in cancer cells that are grown in laboratories suggest that substances like lymphotactin and IL-2 help the body kill cancer cells. A treatment similar to this has been used in ten children previously and similar treatments are being used in adults with other cancers.
The purpose of this study is to learn the side effects and safe 'dosage' of these special cells.
|Detailed Description
Neuroblastoma cells taken from the patient will be separated in the laboratory and two specially produced human viruses (adenovirus) that carry the lymphotactin and the IL-2 gene were put into the cells. These lymphotactin and IL-2 genes are meant to help the immune system fight the cancer.
The modified cancer cells will be injected under the patient's skin. There will be four shots. The second and subsequent shots will have ten times as many cells producing lymphotactin as the first. We do not know the best amount of special cells to use, so different patients will get different numbers of cells.
Before the second shot, and then again about 2 weeks later, we will remove some of the modified cells from the patient's body and study them. We will do this by removing a section of skin (referred to as a skin biopsy) at the place where the cells were injected. This test will help us to see whether or not the modified cells are killing cancer cells.
To study how the immunity is working in the patient's system, we will take blood samples prior to each injection, two to four days after each injection, and may repeat this 5-7 days after each injection if your doctor thinks that is necessary.
After patients have received the first set of 4 injections a complete evaluation is performed to see how this research treatment is working. If these evaluations look okay and if more injections are available, patients will have the option to receive a second set of 4 injections. If patients receive the second set of 4 injections, they will again have blood samples taken after each injection.
After injections stop, all patients will have blood samples collected once a month for a year, and then once a year for fifteen years.
To see if this research treatment is working, we will do CAT scans, MRIs, or bone scans (these are different types of x-rays). We will also take a bone marrow biopsy (bone marrow will be removed by use of a needle so that it can be looked at under the microscope). These tests will be done prior to treatment and again eight weeks later. In addition, if patients receive the second set of four injections, these tests will be repeated at six months.

My daughter Alexandra, an art fanatic, on hearing my explanation about the mistake of the Basel Committee, pointed me to "The forger's spell", a book by Edward Dolnick about the falsification of Vermeer paintings. Boy was she right!
In that book Dolnick makes a reference to having heard Francis Fukuyama in a TV program saying that Daniel Moynihan opined "There are some mistakes it takes a Ph.D. to make". And he also speculates, in the footnotes, that perhaps Fukuyama had in mind George Orwell's comment, in "Notes on Nationalism", that "one has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool."
And that comprises about the most appropriate explanation I have yet seen so as to understand why our bank regulators were able to commit their huge mistake that got us into this financial and economic crisis that threatens the Western World. No "ordinary man" would have told his children to beware about what he knew his children were afraid of, and stimulated them to go more where they already wanted to go as it seemed safe to them… which is precisely what the current risk weighted capital requirements for banks do, causing too large bank exposures whenever the perceived risk of default of the borrower is high, and too small or even nonexistent exposures whenever the perceived risk of default is low.
And then, just like to force it down our throats, Dolnick writes "Experts have little choice but to put enormous faith in their own opinions. Inevitably, that opens the way to error, sometimes to spectacular error."
All of which also leaves me with the problem that seemingly no ordinary financial reporters, like those in FT, can really come to grips with believing, or even daring to believe, that experts could be such fools.
PS. No matter how insightful Francis Fukuyama seems to be, with his "End of History", he shows he did not see the statism introduced in the Western world in 1988 by the bank regulators, with their Basel Accord

Greater prosperity requires more jobs, and more jobs require more economic growth. And the best way to do that, this chain of reasoning continues, is to make investments in higher education and high-tech research. How else to cultivate the next generation of highly skilled, motivated workers for today's ever-dynamic information economy?
That view -- promoted by college presidents, governors and experts in the economics of higher education -- is often cited in the quest for more funding for state university systems. But what if it's wrong?
A new study [1] published Wednesday by the free-market-oriented [2], Michigan-based Mackinac Center for Public Policy suggests just that. Its major finding, that increased state appropriations for higher education actually correlate with lower economic growth, is counter to both established understanding and conventional wisdom.
The study, also sponsored by the Center for College Affordability and Productivity [3], will have its critics, to be sure. The primary author, Richard Vedder [4], has defended his work from other economists in the past. He has made a name for himself -- and earned a spot on the Spellings Commission [5] -- by criticizing colleges as too expensive and poorly run. But Vedder, a distinguished professor of economics at Ohio University, the director of the college affordability center and a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, believes he has found "startling enough" results that others will want to try to look at the issue themselves -- a development he'd welcome.
Looking at all 50 states over more than 20 years and using at least 1,000 data points, the study found that more state funding to higher education doesn't necessarily lead to higher growth, and in fact correlates negatively with high growth rates. Building on previous research -- which Vedder has done over the years on the topic -- the study operates under the theory that students will take some time between the years they enroll and the moment they contribute fully to the economic growth of society. The study looks at three intervals -- 5, 10 and 15 years -- between the "input" of state funding levels in a particular year and the economic output that comes as a result of students' education and development later on in life. And instead of finding the kind of positive correlation between increases in state funds and economic impact that colleges like to talk about, he found the opposite.
Vedder is sure enough of his results, and he acknowledges that they don't necessarily mesh with the views of other economists studying the issue: "I don't see the statistical relationship that a lot of people allege … that university spending promotes economic growth. I said, 'show me the evidence.' That's all I'm asking. Don't give me theories. Show me the evidence."
One scholar who has criticized Vedder's previous work is Ronald G. Ehrenberg [6], director of Cornell University's Higher Education Research Institute. While he hadn't seen the study, Ehrenberg noted that there was the possibility that the poorest states were pumping the most funding into higher education in an attempt to boost growth in the future -- a theory that would explain the negative correlation.
Vedder acknowledged the criticism but said he doesn't believe it applies to the study. "In the latest statistical modeling, we have been very conscious of that question," he said. "First of all, we modeled the data differently so we're not looking at it just between states, comparing one state with another at one point in time. … We're looking at it over a long period of time."
He theorized that increased funding to higher education means less money in the private sector and more in an environment that doesn't necessarily promote efficiency and productivity. "Universities, while they're virtuous institutions … do not necessarily promote economic growth and development, because resources have to be taken from the private sector or somewhere to pay for them," he said.
Other researchers have pointed to the fact that states with the highest growth tend to have the largest proportion of college graduates. But Vedder said his study doesn't dispute that.
"Those are two different questions. There is very, very, very weak evidence that more spending on state universities actually leads to more college graduates," he said -- let alone higher-quality ones. So if there's a connection between the proportion of students in a state with bachelor's degrees and that state's economic growth, Vedder said, it isn't because of more funding to higher education.
So what does more spending lead to? According to the report, there's a possibility it could result in "lower living standards for all." It concludes: "Empirical evidence suggests that a more promising approach would be to constrain government and universities in their spending growth, using the fruits of higher tax revenues over time to lower the tax burden."

Lynn can't find a job and can't afford to pay the bills after her ex dumped her while she'd been in middle of nursing school. Now she's on her brother's doorstep, begging for a place to stay so maybe she can find a way to crawl out of the hole she's been swallowed by. Embarrassed by her situation, she vows never to become dependent on a man again.
Ryan's world is turned upside down when a wrench is thrown into his perfect single life. His life spins out of control, about to lose his job and his mind.
An opportunity crosses Lynn's path that she'd never considered and can't refuse-to possibly gain financial independence.
Will Ryan's new world destroy him or can he move forward and embrace it, opening his heart for an unexpected surprise. Can Lynn save Ryan from himself? Can she trust again? What happens when they push against the natural draw they have toward one another? And what happens when Ryan's past reappears, set out for revenge?

The one woman who could bring him to his knees and be used against him.
Mackenzie Hiland's life is a dismal list of horrible choices and even worse consequences. Yet, Mackenzie can't help but to be lured in by the dangerous man, who is blatant in his desire to get her into his bed. Despite the fact she tries to distance herself, he refuses her rejections. Will Derk become another addition to the long list of regretful decisions she's made? Could Derk possibly be the man possibly be the man that doesn't screw her over? Or will Derk be the one choice that finally takes her to a point of no return?

A past he avoids at all costs leaves him with a cold, lonely bed and no possibility of future relationships. Until she needs his help.
Cara O'Hara has lived a hard life. But nothing prepares her for the threat that Cara's mother has now hindered her with, a debt she finds herself fighting to stay alive.

This was a wonderful set of books that gave you a view of no matter what the circumstances, family sticks together – no matter how or who that family is made of. The characters and situations were not all hearts and roses, but they did eventually prevail.

Although I'm not new here, I decided to make an introductory post anyway, sort of get to know people who don't hang around on chat.
I go by Moe or Kit, I've been involved in magic since I was 13 thanks to a friend of mine who was Wicca, and I've been involved every since (8 years now). I don't really do 'spells', persay, but I do believe that herbs have a selective purpose as well as stones, so charms and such can be made using them. Specifically, I work with herbs, stones, and energies. I try to help anyone who needs it, but these are the methods I'm comfortable with, so don't expect me to go out of my comfort zone.
That's it I suppose, I look forward to jumping into the forums a little more!
