This post is primarily to give other parents a heads up about
something fun to do with your kids that might be available near you.
This is not a sponsored post because aside from the kinds of normal
purchases we make there from time to time, The Home Depot doesn't know
we exist. In fact, we've had ups and downs with the one near our house.
But it turns out The Home Depot does something kind of cool! Another
mom who was in my violin store about a year ago told me about it, but
today was the first time I was actually on the ball enough to take
advantage of the program.
The first Saturday of every month The Home Depot runs a free workshop
for kids. It's a new project every month, and they supply all the
materials and tools and set up a work space with lots of people
available to help. My kids each got an apron to put their names on, and
when you finish a project they give you a pin about that project to put
on your apron. When you collect ten you get a special star pin. We
ran into a little girl from Quinn's class there, and she proudly showed
us her collection of more than a dozen pins.
Today's project was making little race cars. Quinn was the only one
of our kids who resisted going in the first place, but by the time he
was done hammering the little nails and putting on all the wheels he was
a happy guy. Quinn hugged that small orange car all the way home.
Next month's project is a small open box bird feeder with suction
cups on it and the kids can't wait. The workshop was so much fun I wish
I'd managed to get us out there for it a long time ago. Mona and Quinn
wore their aprons around the house all day, and I found myself making
the absurd statement, "Take your aprons off before dinner because they
might get dirty." But then what are aprons for? I guess today the
aprons looked so fresh and pretty it was hard for me not to be a little
protective. I should just let them wear those aprons all the time,
though, now that I think about it.
Anyway, I'm always pleased to know about free and interesting
activities I can take my kids to, so thought I'd share. If the idea of
watching your kid wield a hammer makes you as happy as it makes me,
check it out!

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
If you hire a lawyer for a few hours of consulting, a flat fee assignment or a contingent fee case, your lawyer is an independent contractor. But in other cases it may not be so clear whether a lawyer is paid as an employee or independent contractor. With big bucks and liability at stake, the distinction matters.
Donald Cave, a Louisiana lawyer, sure thought so. He was the sole owner of his incorporated law firm. Trying to sidestep employment taxes on his pay as well as the pay of his associate lawyers, he treated everyone who worked for him---including himself---as an independent contractor. After all, in the dog-eat-dog world of litigating personal injury cases, Cave claimed the firm didn't control anyone's actions.
When the firm collected fees on a case, it split them (generally one-half or one-third) with the attorney who handled it. The IRS wanted employment taxes, calling everyone (including Cave himself) an employee. Cave went to Tax Court and lost. See Donald G. Cave, A Professional Law Corporation v. Commissioner. He, his associates and his law clerk were all employees, said the court, and Cave didn't even have a reasonable basis for his contractor treatment. See Are Lawyers Independent Contractors Or Employees?
Undeterred, Cave appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Fifth Circuit was no more sympathetic than the Tax Court had been, ruling that Cave and his entourage were employees and that payroll taxes were overdue.
Why do people fight about this issue? Independent contractor treatment offers the benefits of:
- No income tax withholding;
- No employment taxes;
- No agency liability for the acts of your employees (whether driving a car on company business or legal malpractice liability);
- No federal and state discrimination laws covering only employees; and
- No fringe benefit, pension, retirement, or other plans.
Formulations for how you determine who is an employee vary. However, many employee versus independent contractor characterization cases look primarily at factors such as:
- The degree of control the principal has over the worker;
- The worker's opportunity for profit or loss;
- The worker's investment in facilities;
- The permanence of the relationship; and
- The skill required in the operation.
Cave claimed the firm exercised little control over the associate attorneys. They were not required to work fixed hours or at a particular location. They could handle their cases as they saw fit and even refuse cases. Maybe so, but the courts found sufficient control to show an employer-employee relationship.
The firm provided offices, equipment, secretarial support, business cards, letterhead, and access to its law library and legal research services. The attorneys maintained continuous and exclusive relationships with the firm, working there from three to twelve years. They did not work for other firms and did not offer their services to the public except through Cave's law firm.
Accordingly, the Fifth Circuit agreed they were employees.

In addition to all else, and it's a lot, The Losers wastes the riches of Hollywood technology in hot pursuit of nothing.
Read Full Review
Though they have plenty of lethal weapons at their disposal, the Losers are nowhere near as fun as the '80s action-flick heroes they emulate.
The film never is boring, but it's never engaging, either, because its heroes hit every target in sight, while the villains, despite holstering much greater weaponry, never hit anybody. So forget about suspense.
Basically, it's "The A-Team" meets "Rambo" meets "Mission: Impossible," with a mission that's one part trickiness, four parts blowing stuff up.
The movie gets the job done, and the actors show a lot of confidence in occupying that tricky middle ground between controlled satire and comic overkill. It's fun.

Iffy for 14+
Violent but quirky movie aimed at teen comic book fans.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this often funny action movie -- based on a comic book series from 2003-06 -- is filled with comic book-style violence, with lots of guns, knives, slo-mo fight scenes, and explosions. The movie centers on a group of ex-soldiers who are betrayed and left for dead; part of their motivation is problem-solving and part is revenge. The movie features strong, but infrequent language (one use of "f--k" and several uses of "s--t"), and a non-explicit, though highly stylized sexual scene. Without any huge teen-appeal stars (aside from Avatar's Zoe Saldana), the movie will mostly appeal to die-hard comic book fans and action junkies.
Messages: Though there are some examples of triumphing over the odds and teamwork, the violence of the movie is constant and lighthearted -- sending some unrealistic and potentially confusing messages about weapons and violence.
Role models: Though some of the team members keep dangerous secrets from one another and occasionally hurt one another physically, for the most part the team's trust for one another is commendable. Clay, the leader, acts partly out of revenge, but he very clearly has a humanitarian side too. He races into intense danger to rescue some children, and puts the welfare of his men before his own mission.
Violence: The movie is filled with extreme comic book violence, including fistfights, kung fu fights, shootouts, knife fights, bullet wounds, blood spurts, dead bodies, and giant explosions. (One explosion is more like an implosion that wipes an entire island off the earth.) The villain is an unscrupulous arms dealer who is looking for the latest destructive technology -- "snukes" -- to sell to the highest bidder. Most notably, the bad guy blows up a helicopter filled with kids (only seen from the outside). There are also brief images of a cockfight (a gory gambling event in which two roosters are placed in a ring and made to fight one another to the death).
Sex: Two main characters have sex; the scene shows them kissing and removing clothes in a glossy, slow-motion scene, and then lying together under the covers afterward, but no nudity and nothing explicit. Zoe Saldana wears a series of very sexy outfits. Several women in bikinis appear as "window dressing" and/or playthings for certain characters. One character wears a suggestive t-shirt depicting a woman eating a hot dog. Chris Evans changes clothes in an elevator and is caught by four women, who gaze at him approvingly. We also see a shadow puppet play of two godzillas having sex.
Language: "F--k" is heard once, and "s--t" is used several times, though language in general is fairly infrequent. Other words include: "hell," "Oh my God," "anal," "balls," "dick," "ass," "son of a bitch," and "Goddamn it."
Consumerism: A helicopter crashes into a huge Dunkin' Donuts sign.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Clay and Aisha drink in a bar, including downing a shot of tequila in one gulp. Aisha brings a bottle of liquor to Clay's room, but they don't drink it. Later, characters open a bottle of champagne and drink.

I plan to remember this year�s vacation season with just two words: Never again.
Never again, that is, will I take all my technology along. The Internet has ruined summer vacations.
When I first visited my in-laws� cabin in Ontario�s north woods 35 years ago, there was no such thing as broadband Internet. The nearest telephone was a one-mile canoe paddle down the lake, and we were beyond the reach of television. Our media diet consisted of a battery-powered radio. I know I risk sounding like an aging crank, but it was paradise.
Now we�re cursed with all the riches of modern civilization. The cabin is just close enough to civilization to get a strong cellphone signal, and that goes for data too, via a mobile Wi-Fi hot spot. Our little bit of isolation is no more.
Instead of browsing dog-eared summer-house mystery novels and bodice-rippers, this year we browsed the Internet. Instead of evenings of Scrabble or Monopoly or poker, we checked our Twitter feeds and updated our Facebook pages.
And that, of course, is the problem with the Internet: It�s so easy that, unless you�re equipped with massive self-control, you use it if it�s there.
What did we lose?
For a news junkie like me, being cut off for a few weeks used to be a good thing. It forced me to stop following what politicians were saying and allowed me to read novels, histories, even old magazine articles carefully set aside all year in a vacation reading box.
When anyone got bored with reading, we had other pre-modern forms of entertainment: hiking, swimming, canoeing, competitive baking, stargazing and card games. My daughters would never have learned the rules of Texas Hold �Em if not for their father�s tutelage on summer vacations.
The path to paradise lost has been gradual. For several years, I kept my Internet addiction under control by using inconvenient technology: a creaky laptop and a slow dial-up connection. But this year, the combination of a new iPad and that nifty Wi-Fi turned out to be fatal.
The demon iPad beckoned silently from the picnic table: What harm could it be to give the email a quick check? But once that alluring touchscreen lights up, who can resist lingering?
Now, I�m not bemoaning the loss of total isolation or advocating unplugging from the Internet entirely. Access to the Web is unquestionably a wonderful thing. I love having a bottomless library at my fingertips; I love having the world�s leading newspapers on my electronic doorstep. I love being able to pay my bills and make my airplane reservations online. And, thanks to those ugly cellphone towers out in the woods, we now have a way to call for help if we need an ambulance or fire truck.
It�s also nice to have an app that identifies the constellations when you hold the iPad up to the night sky. But then, you have to remember to put the screen down and simply drink in the stars � the original, uncut version.
And that�s the point: It�s important not to let the convenience of the Internet get in the way of simpler beauties.
That�s not the Internet�s fault. It�s ours, for failing to curb the urge to browse.
I grew to envy our neighbor down the lake who opted to go without Internet access. He didn�t cut himself off entirely; whenever he made a trip to town, he sat on the park bench in front of the public library to use the Wi-Fi. But the rest of the time, he stayed unplugged.
In retrospect, that sounds pretty good. I don�t think I�m desperate enough to need a term in the Internet rescue camps of South Korea. And I�m too cheap to shell out 10 bucks for the software that turns your Internet connection off for as many hours as you want. (Bonus tech tip: You can turn your connection off yourself, for free. Just go to �Settings.�)
The first step toward recovery is admitting you have a problem. My problem isn�t the Internet, it�s learning how to limit the time I spend on it.
So now I have one more thing to look forward to next summer: More time reading old novels; more time playing Scrabble and chasing frogs.
Next year, I promise to unplug. Except, of course, when we need to find a new bike trail, or Google a recipe for wild blueberry pie or check whether �qi� is an acceptable word in Scrabble. And, while I�m online, could it hurt to take one little peek at the email?

Ranchers are in trouble and in fear on TX borders
Listen, I for one BELIEVE the ranchers. I do not think it is political and a lie to them. That is just me...lots of comments after the story, one posts a link of a story where the President is saying the border is more secure than ever. Huh? Personally, I have been on this Earth 30something years. I have hope and trust in this country. I don't remember a time when the border issue was more intense though. The cartels seem more aggressive and bold these days. How do you guys feel about this article? This one really hit me in the heart, gut, and a couple of other places. it definately has me thinking anyways. I hope this is the right forum? One thought that crossed my mind when reading: these drug mules get trials, sent back, all these rights. But this is America, what about the rights of these ranchers? It is the federal governments responsibility to protect them and all Americans...

It's really not a L and CR issue. But it is not a General issue (not directly gun related) but a crime story.

The official trailer of Mary Kom is out. Read on to know our take on the trailer of the biopic…
Priyanka Chopra's upcoming film Mary Kom is one of the most anticipated films of this year. Pee Cee recently took the nation by a storm with her boxer avatar on the poster of the film, which was termed as one of the most stunning transformations a B-town actor has showcased in recent times. The trailer of the Mary Kom bipoic is out and we give you 5 reasons as to why we absolutely loved it:
Punch em' like PeeCe
If there's a B-town beauty who knows how to punch right, it is none other than Priyanka Chopra. This hottie is seen in her raw and rugged avatar, nailing those punches vigor and valor needed. The hottie makes a perfect picture as a an aggressive boxer with a conviction and zeal to achieve her big dreams.
This Manipuri eve cannot be teased
There is a point in the trailer where Priyanka who plays Mary Kom in the biopic, is being eve teased by a chichora lad outside the boxing ring. He is seen whistling at Priyanka who instead of losing her cool, whistles back at him and shuts him up in a second. We surely like the way this sexy boxer sets those notorious natkhats right with her unique style!
Why should boys have all the 'punch?'
We like the way this toughie challenges the boys for a fight in the trailer. "Kyun darta hai kya (Are you scared)? she replies to male boxing star when he states that he does not participate in a fight with girls. The very next second, the Dil Dhadakne Do star is seen taking down the oh-so-mighty boxing champ with her aggressive stints. The underlying message of the trailer is subtle yet evident stating that women cannot be held back to participate in a vigorous sport, merely because the way their gender is perceived in a narrow minded way by the society.
Million Dollar PeeCee
This Exotic singer has emerged as one of the best performers in the industry today. With her memorable stint in Barfi!, one would think it hard to match the standard. But looks like PeeCee is set to bring the magic to table again with her role in Mary Kom. Though a mere sneak peek, her performance nonetheless comes across as powerful and convincing, with her aggressive mannerisms and the fluent Manipuri accent. We wonder if the hottie will outdo herself with this one!
Don't worry, you are safe with her
Indian society follows a common mentality of considering a female "safe' on a lonely road as long she is with a male to protect her. But things are different in PeeCee's world. A scene in the trailer shows the actor ensuring her male partner that he is safe with her, when the two are seen stuck in the middle of dark forest. "Don't worry, tu mere saath safe hai( Don't worry, you are safe with me, she tells him amidst a dark forest. This particular one liner sets aside the typical notions followed by people and is refreshing to watch.
So do you agree with our crtique? Post your comments below!

WPDH (101.5 FM in Poughkeepsie) morning host Mark Cooper, better known to the Hudson Valley as "Coop," will return to the airwaves Tuesday after hospitalization for a serious illness.
The news was announced by WPDH Thursday on air and on its Facebook. It came about a week after Cooper was hospitalized for what the station called a "serious medical issue." The severity of the is unknown, but fans have expressed their support for the host of "Wakin' Up with Coop and Kricket" in droves through emails, phone calls and Facebook messages.
"Coop and his family have been blown away from support from the listeners," said Andrew Boris, program director of WPDH and WRRV (92.7 FM in Middletown). He added that "the fact that everybody was pulling for him" may be a reason for the host's quick recovery.

Host by NetBox Version 2.8 Build 4128
Boadicea The Victorious Energizer Pewter Perfume Spray -- 1.7 oz.
Clean, fresh and elevating, Energizer lifts the spirits and wakes the body.

Howdy, Im new to the site but have been reading many topics on it for awhile. Just thought I would let everyone know (if you dont know) but the Spica is going to Offically get Android 2.2 Froyo this September (no date). This was confirmed by my Carrier, 3 Ireland (and UK as it was a UK number). They confirmed that the Spica will get an offical update to 2.2 along with Samsungs new high end phone, the Galaxy S. I made sure they werent confused about the Spica and Galaxy S. SO after months of waiting (Since may for me). The Spica is going to see Froyo!. make sure you have the Samsung PC Suite installed as it wont be over the air (Spica cant do that). Will this be the last update for Spica? More than likely but we said this about 2.1 aswell If anyone can gather more info then post below. Im not 110% sure if we are getting it all at the same time and date, USA, UK Aussies. I would give Samsung an email Rs
...Why Samsung? Why do you have a tiff with i7500 users I am at the brink of purchasing an i5700 or an i7500...this Samsung factor is killing me.
i think component used in i7500 like camera and flash driver manufactures are not providing driver to samsung hence to upgrade .
true, that could be one factor but IF drakaz can (has started) port the drivers so can Samsung. And what's the guarantee that Samsung will keep updating i5700 to later versions afterwards. This just makes me sad that an OS with such a huge potential is being undermined by manufacturers just because they want to sell their phones on new software features instead of new hardware features. Which phone would you recommend to buy between the two though?
Buy the I7500 (Spica). At least it has Android Eclair. Still tastes better than Android Cupcake. Rumors are that a more delicious android is arriving to the phone (froyo). In short: Buy the Spica.
I am not surprised Samsung announced this. They have been known for delaying their promises, or breaking them. ;(
I know thats why I posted this. 3 Ireland told me that Spica is getting the update to 2.2 along with Samsung Galaxy S this September. As I said, i cant be sure if the US etc will be getting it the same time but UK and Ireland are. They told me to contact samsung about the date release but confirmed that we are 120% getting the update. There is simply no other online update for this yet from samsung but they have told the carriers =]
Too good to be true... I don't believe it.... Post back if u get any reply from Samsung - I doubt you'll get any positive reply !!!!!
Dont be so negative over it. Were you like this when Samsung didnt say anything about 2.1 coming to Spica? How about you call your carrier and stop being all "no no no" over this topic
you say to contact carrier about it that would be t mobile uk they will not update to 2.1 so they will not be doing 2.2
US will update later as their carriers are REALLY slow at catching up, but since none of the Canadian carriers offer Spica, they won't have problems lol
I think 2.2 will come to the spica eventually by a European or Asian carrier. Then the rest of us will get it unofficially. Just be patient.
You've got it backwards, the Spica is not available in the US, and it is available in Canada. I hear a lot of people making comments about the Spica in the US and I'm usually baffled because it was never released here. I got a good deal on an unlocked one which is how I'm using it over here. Of course, I bought it before I realized the Spica isn't compatible with American 3g bands
Yes the odin way samsung havnt released any information about the spica/portal getting 2.2 and havnt found any thing on line only lesharks version
As I said, Samsung wont. And the Portal only got 2.1 unoffically so it may get 2.2 unoffically who knows. The Spica DID get 2.1 offically, infact my Spica came pre loaded with 2.1 as apposed to the original 1.6. Now seriously get that rain cloud over your head out of here! Im sorry T mobile UK wont update the Spica to 2.1 or 2.2 but seriously deal with it or change carrier to 02 or 3 who also sell the Spica and have it on 2.1. Or just wait! Since you did it unoffically you wont be able to update via the pc suite (i dont know for sure) but when 2.2 comes out on the Spica, then those like you who did there own boot will get a an SDK from someone who hacks it. Infact there's and Alpha version of 2.2 for Spica going around for the past few months and hopefully the guy building it can get it all working!
Just thought I would let everyone know (if you dont know) but the Spica is going to Offically get Android 2.2 Froyo this September (no date). This was confirmed by my Carrier, 3 Ireland (and UK as it was a UK number). I with 3 Ireland too. If Android 2.2 Froyo turns up in September can 3 Ireland help in putting Froyo onto my I5700 phone or how will I go about it instead. -M

On the one hand it would seem very odd to go through the rest of the quest chain for Quel, then take the Unfired Ancient Blade in to level 80 Onyxia to complete The Forging of Quel'Serrar in order to run back to Dire Maul and pick up a 20 level out of date tanking sword, no matter how cool it looks. But since the quest doesn't specify what level she is, it might be possible (It was possible to complete a Naxxramas quest from before TBC launched in the current 25 man Naxxramas). However, unless Ony will continue to drop the sinew, I can't see how folks could possibly complete the epic Hunter quest chain. Does that mean those quests will be gone from the game?
Since I don't play a Hunter and I already have Quel'Serrar, this is all kind of academic to me. But I do wonder: my dearest hope is that they actually update the Quel quests (or make an entirely new one) which allows you to get an updated Quel'Serrar. Perhaps Quel'Zaram? I guess I might as well dream big while I'm at it. Bornakk's post certainly hints very strongly that there will be a successor to Quel dropped from Onyxia.

I subscribe to all sorts of fitness magazines. (They make great reading on the starimaster.) These magazines are full of inspirational articles about people who, after fifteen years of staring bleary-eyed at the tv, smartened up, saw the error of their ways, and started to shape up. Inevitable, they lost 76 lbs–on average, of course.
So I figured out a way to lose weight:
1. Exercise 60 minutes every day. Check.
2. Lift weights. Check.
4. Pounds come rolling off–well, not exactly.
You see, all these people spent their days eating and goofing off before they started this program. I, on the other hand, have been exercising, eating right, and gaining one pound a year for 20 years. Which makes me 20 lbs overweight.
I come from a long line of short, fat people. My mother: short and fat; her mother, ditto. My extra 20 lbs makes me the lightweight in the family-of-origin photo album. Reading from left to right: my grandmother, fat; my mother, fat; me, not that fat.
My children are slim and gorgeous, however.

Chinese appetite grows for Australia
Safety scandals are prompting even non-food firms in China to size up agricultural prospects Down Under, with deals expected to flourish
Fears over food safety in China are spurring a growing number and variety of Chinese investments in Australian agriculture.
"Chinese food scandals are a key driver of Chinese investment in Australian agriculture because of Australia's brand [reputation] as safe food," said Meredith Paynter, agribusiness leader of international law firm King & Wood Mallesons.
Tough biosecurity laws and quarantine procedures gave Australia the comparative advantage of clean, safe and plentiful supplies of agricultural assets, said National Australia Bank's David Thorn.
China has been rocked by a series of food safety scandals in recent years, from milk contamination to recycled "gutter" oil. After the death of several children, fears about the quality of infant formula became so great that mainland visitors began buying large quantities of the product in Hong Kong.
Dairy products are one area that offers great prospects. Thorn said many executives of Chinese state-owned food firms expressed interest in investing in Australian dairy production. "The opportunity for Australian dairy producers is massive," he said.
Chinese investment in Australian agriculture has leapt from US$3 million in 2010 to US$20 million in 2011, while US$700 million of potential Chinese investments in Australian agriculture were under discussion in 2011, according to a paper jointly published by the Chinese and Australian governments in December.
"Chinese investment in Australian agriculture is increasing exponentially," PricewaterhouseCoopers partner Gabriel Wong said.
"China has 18 per cent of the world's population but only 8.5 per cent of the world's agricultural land, so China wants to invest in Australian agriculture."
In the past, most investments were by state-owned food companies, such as Cofco's US$145.15 million acquisition of Tully Sugar, and Bright Food's acquisition of Manassen Foods for about A$500 million (HK$4 billion) in 2011, Wong said.
"The significant change is a lot of private enterprises that are not food companies now want to participate in this sector. The volume of Chinese deals in Australian agriculture will increase significantly. Everybody can do it. Toy companies can do it. Property companies can do it," Wong said.
Chinese private property developer Shanghai Zhongfu won the rights in November to lease and develop 13,400 hectares for sugar cane in Western Australia, with a projected investment of A$700 million over six years.
The deal aroused criticism from some Australian politicians and newspapers. "If you are a Chinese private company with piles of cash, you ask where do you put your money? The Chinese companies see the food scandals in China, so they invest in Australian agriculture," Wong said.
Last year, the Australian government announced a policy to fast-track approvals of permanent residency for foreigners who invested at least A$5 million in certain sectors, including agriculture. This would open the door to many private Chinese investors to invest in Australian agriculture, Wong said.
"Chinese investors appear to be particularly interested in beef and dairy products, including milk powder," Paynter said.
China is the biggest buyer of Australian agricultural exports, accounting for 19 per cent of the total, according to Australian government data. Australia is the second-biggest beef exporter in the world behind Brazil and exports A$2.4 billion of dairy products annually, or 45 per cent of its milk production.
China is the second-largest importer of Australian dairy products at A$229 million annually, behind Japan.
However, many Australian farms are small and privately held, making it more difficult to assess the farming operations.
Farming is also a greying industry in Australia, raising questions about any long-term investment in the sector. Thorn said the average age of an Australian farmer was 59 and many children were reluctant to take up life on the land.

$10M Prize Offered To Turn 'Star Trek' Device Into Reality Qualcomm, X PRIZE Foundation Want To Make Real-Life 'Star Trek' Tricorder 7:48 AM, Jun 16, 2011 Share Article $10M Prize Offered To Turn 'Star Trek' Device Into Reality pn.jong Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next A local company is offering a $10 million prize to whoever can turn a medical device seen on a hit TV show into reality.Qualcomm, in partnership with nonprofit group X PRIZE Foundation, wants to turn the "tricorder" from the sci-fi TV show "Star Trek" into a tool everyone can eventually have in their home.On the show, the tricorder was used to scan people and detect medical problems."The goal is that this goes in your medicine cabinet," said Don Jones, Qualcomm's vice president of wireless health. "And you pull it out when you're not feeling well."Qualcomm hopes the real tricorder will allow users to find out what medical issues they are dealing with."Historically, you've had a mercury thermometer and a telephone and, more recently, Google to figure out what's wrong," Jones said.Jones said a real tricorder would be far more advanced, and he told 10News the idea is feasible."I think the underlying technologies we can perceive are actually available today," he said. "And this actually can be accomplished."Dr. Roger Sur, a kidney specialist at UC San Diego Medical Center, agreed and said, "I think it's totally possible."Sur pointed out the wide variety of technology advances seen in the last 30 years, but he also had questions."How will the consumer utilize this information?" he asked. "Will this replace a doctor or is this something we use with a doctor?"Jones said he envisions it being used in conjunction with doctors and also in remote areas where there are no doctors.In general, Sur likes the idea of a real working tricorder."I think any advance in technology is a boon to medicine," he said.Sur also said the technology is not that far removed from a portable, hand-held ultrasound machine that he uses in his practice.Qualcomm hopes the tricorder will cost about the same as a cell phone and be available in five to seven years.A wide variety of experts will next come up with criteria for the device, including the number of conditions it will be able to diagnose.Soon after, inventors will go at it, and the first to meet all the criteria will win the $10 million prize.

Get your Foo history right - Marinella was never favored by the The Foo. He tried'em out, but considered them adequate but sterile. He liked, and still likes Capelli (Fooproved TM)
There's nothing embarrassing on committing a mistake. Assuming your mistake, however, is truly remarkable.
I'm arrogant as well, so I can see why you're mistaken about that.

@ PHILIPS and others
Hallo ,
I just bought the 42PFL7606H tv.
I have a question because there is some clouding present in the upper left corner of the screen.
Is this normal and acceptable and is there any solution to get rid or minimise the backlight bleeding?
How is Philips reacting to these complaints?
I would appreciate any info to solve this issue, many thanks.

Wired has a few tips for getting better holiday party photos and the most important is learning to work with those terrible overhead lights. Advertisement Fluorescent lights can really kill the mood of a photo, and it turns out that the best way to deal with those lights depends on the time of day:If it can be helped, get a photo with lights pointing at your subject. If a bright light is behind your subject, the camera will try to expose to that light and your subject will be end up being under-exposed. If you're having a day party (lame), get between the windows and your subjects. The natural light will be better than your office lighting.Speaking of office lighting, beware of overhead fluorescent lights. They're horrible for photography and make everyone look like a ghoul. Avoid any portrait-type photographs with this type of lighting unless you want your co-workers to hunt you down after the hangovers subside.The flash on your smartphone can help with fill. But in dark situations, stand back at least four feet to give the light a chance to disperse before landing on your boss' shiny face.With that, you should be able to get a solid set of holiday photos to embarrass your coworkers with in the new year.

A pre-holiday crackdown on pirated and counterfeit goods in Los Angeles landed 28 people in jail and yielded thousands of pirated jeans, CDs, DVDs and other illegal booty worth more than $2.7 million on the street, officials announced. As part of efforts to crack down on counterfeit merchandise, the Los Angeles Anti-Piracy Task Force's "Operation Clean Sweep" busted manufacturers, distributors and merchants throughout Los Angeles, including downtown's Fashion District, in raids December 18 through 20. The 28 people arrested were facing a variety of charges, including manufacturing, distribution and sales of counterfeit goods, said LAPD Cmdr. David Doan. Nearly 200,000 pirated items with a street value of $2.76 million were seized, he said.
The confiscated loot–including Spanish-language music CDs, watches, sunglasses, fake Ed Hardy apparel and bootlegged DVDs of such current theatrical fare as "Seven Pounds" and "Bolt"–filled three tables and numerous garbage bags displayed by members of the task force.
"Piracy is a serious business, but we're determined to sweep it out of Los Angeles," said City Councilwoman Wendy Greuel, a former DreamWorks SKG executive who chairs the anti-piracy group. "People who make counterfeit goods are stealing, plain and simple. It's the same as picking someone's pocket or shoplifting."
The raids were carried out by 45 police officers, along with investigators from private industries, resulting in the second-largest bust of pirated and counterfeit goods in Los Angeles history, Doan said. Greuel said sales of pirated goods, which often originate in Taiwan, are frequently connected to gang members, who increasingly find the illicit business more lucrative than drug sales. Counterfeit goods sold on the street are often priced at half the amount of the genuine article, but the quality is usually shoddy, officials said.
"It's all trash, it's all false, and it's not worth buying," said Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca. Counterfeiters target practically every consumer product, resulting in not just badly produced CDs and sunglasses but "poison toothpaste, brake pads made of straw and lead-tainted toys," said Deborah Greaves, general counsel for Los Angeles clothiers True Religion, whose high-fashion jeans have been frequently pirated.
According to a report issued this year by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation, piracy costs the Los Angeles economy jobs across nine sectors for a total of $4.4 billion in lost wages annually.
"During these difficult economic times, we we can't afford to lose a single job or a single dollar," Greuel said.
"Every dollar lost to piracy represents wages lost for hardworking Angelenos."
The Los Angeles Anti-Piracy Task Force was formed in February 2007 to combat the crippling impact to the local economy of the phony goods trade. The group includes a diverse range of leaders representing law enforcement, business, government and the entertainment industry.
As for the hundreds of thousands of illegal products seized in the raids, Doan said they would be destroyed following the criminal cases against the individuals under arrest.
Destroyed, he added, "in the greenest way possible."

Heathrow Terminal 5 is an airport terminal at Heathrow Airport, the main airport serving London. Opened in 2008, the main building in the complex is the largest free-standing structure in the United Kingdom. Terminal 5 is currently used exclusively as one of the three global hubs of International Airlines Group, served by British Airways and Iberia, with the others being London Gatwick South and Madrid Barajas Terminal 4. Prior to 2012, the terminal was used solely by British Airways.
The terminal was designed to handle 35 million passengers a year. In 2015, Terminal 5 handled 33.1 million passengers on 215,716 flights; 44.6% of the airport's passengers on 46.6% of its flights with an average of 153 passengers per flight. It was the busiest terminal at the airport, measured both by passenger numbers and flight movements.[1]
The building's leading architects were from the Richard Rogers Partnership and production design was completed by aviation architects Pascall+Watson. The engineers for the structure were Arup and Mott MacDonald. The building cost £4 billion and took almost 20 years from conception to completion, including the longest public inquiry in British history.
The possibility of a fifth terminal at Heathrow emerged as early as 1982, when there was debate over whether the expansion of Stansted or the expansion of Heathrow (advocated by BA) was the way forward for the UK aviation industry.[2] Planning studies for the terminal commenced in February 1988 and Richard Rogers was selected to design the terminal in 1989. Rogers compared his design to the Centre Pompidou, an earlier project that has similar flexibility in the use of its space.[3]
BAA formally announced its proposal for construction of T5 in May 1992, submitting a formal planning application on 17 February 1993.[4][5] A public inquiry into the proposals began on 16 May 1995 and lasted nearly four years, finally ending on 17 March 1999 after sitting for 525 days. The inquiry, based at the Renaissance Hotel Heathrow, was the longest planning inquiry ever held in the UK.[6] Finally, more than eight years after the initial planning application, then-transport minister Stephen Byers announced on 20 November 2001 the British government's decision to grant planning permission for the building of a fifth passenger terminal at Heathrow.
Construction, which was undertaken by Laing O'Rourke,[7] began in September 2002, with earthworks for the construction of the buildings' foundation. A preparatory archaeological dig at the site found more than 80,000 artefacts.[8] In November of the following year, work started on the steel superstructure of the main terminal building. By January 2005, the nine tunnels needed to provide road and rail access, and to provide drainage, were completed. In March that year, the sixth and final section of the main terminal roof was lifted into position, and in December the building was made weatherproof. The roof could not have been lifted with conventional cranes because it would have penetrated vertically into the airport's radar field. Therefore, the roof was assembled on the ground using smaller cranes, then lifted into place by eight custom-built towers, each fitted with two hydraulic jacks to pull the roof up. At peak there were around 8,000 people working on the construction site, whilst over the life of the project over 60,000 people were involved in the construction.[9][10] Over 15,000 volunteers were recruited for a total of 68 trials lasting from September 2007 until March 2008 to test the operational readiness of Terminal 5 prior to its opening.[9]
Queen Elizabeth II officially opened Terminal 5 in a ceremony on 14 March 2008. Used exclusively by British Airways (and now IAG (Iberia)), the terminal opened for passenger use on 27 March 2008, with flight BA26 from Hong Kong its first arrival at 04:50 GMT. The first passenger to enter Terminal 5 was Paul Walker, a UK ex-pat from Kenya who entered through security at 04:30 on 27 March 2008 and was presented with a boarding pass by the British Airways CEO Willie Walsh for the first departing flight, BA302 to Paris.[9][11]
On the day of opening, it quickly became apparent that the new terminal was not operating as planned, forcing British Airways to cancel 34 flights and suspend baggage check-in.[12][13] Over the following 10 days some 42,000 bags failed to travel with their owners,[14] and over 500 flights were cancelled. British Airways was not able to operate its full schedule from Terminal 5 until 8 April 2008 and had to postpone the transfer of its long-haul flights from Terminal 4 to Terminal 5.[15] The difficulties were later blamed on a number of problems with the terminal's IT systems, coupled with car parking.[16] British Airways launched an advertising campaign to assure the public that things are working normally again.[17]
The Terminal 5 building is on a 260-hectare (640-acre) site on the western side of the airport, between the western ends of the northern and southern runways. The site was previously occupied by the Perry Oaks sewage works and an area of smallholdings called Burrows Hill Close Estate, and is east of the M25 motorway; see also Heathrow (hamlet). Two artificial watercourses, the Longford River and the Duke of Northumberland's River, originally ran through the middle of the site.[10] Most of the terminal is in the ecclesiastical parish of Harmondsworth. The southern section, including the train station, is in the ecclesiastical parish of Stanwell. The whole area is in the London Borough of Hillingdon.
Twin Rivers Diversion Scheme[edit]
One of the most time-critical civil engineering sub-projects of the Terminal's construction programme was the diversion of the Longford River and Duke of Northumberland's River around the western perimeter of the airport. This was a complex scheme, which involved not only the re-routing of the two rivers but also the realignment of the A3044 dual carriageway and Western Perimeter Road. The challenge was complicated by strict time constraints and the proximity of the works to local residents. Further restrictions to site activities resulted from the overhead flight path from both runways. 95% of the diverted rivers were placed in two open man-made channels 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) in length, compared with only 50% of the original rivers which were conveyed beneath the runways in culverts. The Twin Rivers Diversion scheme achieved a Civil Engineering Environmental Quality (CEEQUAL) Award for its ability to maintain high environmental standards and quality during design and construction of the project.[18] It involved much moving and planting of river wildlife and plants.[19]
The Terminal 5 complex includes several buildings, a new control tower and a railway station. The main terminal building is referred to as Terminal 5A. There are two satellite buildings, Terminal 5B and Terminal 5C. At the time of opening, Terminal 5A and Terminal 5B were completed, whilst Terminal 5C, which was built by Carillion,[20] was under construction and scheduled to open later in May 2010; however it only opened in June 2011.[21] The whole complex is fronted by a separate building containing road transport facilities.
Within the complex there are more than 100 shops and restaurants.[22]
Terminal 5[edit]
The main terminal building is 396 metres (1,299 ft) long, 176 metres (577 ft) wide and 40 metres (130 ft) tall.[23] It is the largest building in the Terminal 5 complex and is the largest free-standing building in the United Kingdom. Its four stories are covered by a single-span undulating steel frame roof, with glass façades angled at 6.5 degrees to the vertical. The area covered by the roof is the size of five football pitches, and each section weighs 2,200 tonnes.
T5A contains a check-in hall, a departure lounge with retail stores and other passenger services, and a baggage reclaim hall. T5A contains the bulk of the terminal's baggage handling system. This baggage handling system is the largest in the world with 5 miles (8.0 km) of high-speed track and 11 miles (18 km) of regular conveyor belts. It is designed to handle 4,000 bags per hour, and also has an "early bag store" which can temporarily store up to 4,000 bags.
Departing passengers enter the departures level on the third floor by lift or escalator from the interchange plaza. Upon entering the departures concourse, passengers see views across Heathrow and the surrounding area, and are in a space that is unobstructed to the rising roof above. After check-in and security screening, the airside departure lounge also provides views across the airport, its runways and beyond.
British Airways maintains offices overlooking the main Terminal 5 passenger handling areas, designed so that staff can have, in the words of Aviation Transport Weekly, a "visual connection to customers". When Terminal 5 opened on 27 March 2008, British Airways staff, including crew check-in staff, relocated from the Compass Centre to Terminal 5.[24]
Simon Calder of The Independent stated that the 2017 introduction of buy on board on British Airways short haul flights may cause an increase in terminal-based food establishments at Terminal 5.[25]
Satellite terminal buildings[edit]
Terminal 5B was the first satellite building to be built. Terminal 5C is the second satellite building, opening unofficially on 20 May 2011, with official opening on 1 June 2011, in conjunction with the relaunch of British Airways service to San Diego. Terminal 5B measures 442 metres (1,450 ft) long by 52 metres (171 ft) wide and 19.5 metres (64 ft) high, and contains 37 lifts and 29 escalators.[10]
There is also the potential for an additional satellite building, T5D, to be located to the east of T5C, as displayed in Heathrow's Capital Investment Plan for 2009.
An underground automated people mover (APM) connects passengers between Terminal 5A, Terminal 5B and Terminal 5C.
Frontal building[edit]
Unlike most airport terminals, the main terminal building does not have direct road access. Instead it is fronted by a 6-level frontal building, which contains a bus station and taxi rank (at ground level), a 3,800 space short stay multi-storey car park (levels 1 to 4) and a drop off zone (level 5). A walkway at level 1 of the frontal building provides under-cover access to the Sofitel Heathrow Airport T5 Hotel, whilst a section of level 2 is used for the link to the long term business car park (see below).[10]
The frontal building is connected to the main terminal by covered walkways at ground level (the arrivals level of the main terminal building) and skybridges at level 5 (departures level). The combination of the two buildings with the linking walkways creates a series of open courtyards. Whilst one of these courtyards is occupied by the access structures for the railway station below, others contain a dancing fountain and a grove of 40 London Plane trees, and are accessible to passengers and other terminal visitors.[10]
New control tower[edit]
At the time of its design Terminal 5's proposed height was so tall that it would have blocked runway views from Heathrow Airport's then control tower. Therefore, before construction began on the terminal building, a new taller air traffic control tower was constructed. Costing £50 million it was assembled off-site before being manoeuvred into position within the central terminal area near to Heathrow Terminal 3, during 2004. This new control tower weighs nearly 1000 tons and is 87 metres (285 ft) in height, making it one of the tallest in Europe and twice the height of London's Nelson's Column. It became operational in April 2007.
British Airways use Terminal 5 to operate the majority of their flights serving Heathrow. Some short- and mid-haul destinations are served from Terminal 3 due to capacity restrictions at Terminal 5. Since March 2012, International Airlines Group subsidiary Iberia has operated from Terminal 5 as well.[26]
Ground transport[edit]
The transport network around the airport has been extended to cope with the increase in passenger numbers. This has involved widening of the M25 motorway and the construction of new branches of both the Heathrow Express and the London Underground Piccadilly line.
Railway links[edit]
Terminal 5 is served by the Heathrow Terminal 5 station, which is located beneath the main terminal building, and serves both the London Underground and Heathrow Express rail connections to the terminal. The railway station also has two additional, currently unused, platforms for use by a possible westward railway connection.
Heathrow Express provides an express service to Paddington station in central London, stopping only at Heathrow Central station. Trains run every 15 minutes and the journey time to Paddington is 21 minutes. Premium fares are charged for the service to Paddington. However no fares are charged for the journey to Heathrow Central, which provides access to Terminals 1 to 3, to the Heathrow Airport Central bus station, and to the Heathrow Connect semi-fast rail service to Paddington. Terminal 4 can be reached by changing trains to the Heathrow Express Shuttle service at Heathrow Central, which is also fare-free for this journey.
The Piccadilly line of the London Underground provides a slower, but considerably cheaper, stopping service to central London, with a journey time of between 45 minutes and one hour depending on exact destination. Trains run every 10 minutes, and provide service to many stations en route to and within central London, with interchange available to the rest of the London Underground network. The Piccadilly line is integrated into the Transport for London fare system.
Terminal 5 is also served by RailAir express buses, which link the terminal's bus station (see below) with Reading station, for rail services to the west, and Woking station, for rail services to the south.
Road links[edit]
A dedicated motorway spur has been built from the M25 between junctions 14 and 15 to the terminal. The spur also connects to the airport's perimeter road, and provides direct connections to the frontal building at ground level (for bus station and taxi rank), level 4 (for car parking) and level 5 (for departure set down). The car parking on levels 1 to 3 is accessed from a series of spiral ramps that descend from level 4 to ground level.
Besides the short-stay car parking in front of the main terminal, Terminal 5 is also served by separate business and long-term car parks. These are accessed from the airport's perimeter road and are some distance from the terminal. The long-term car park is linked to the terminal by bus, and the business car park is served by an elevated personal rapid transit system (see below).
The terminal is also connected to Terminals 1, 2 and 3 by the Heathrow Airside Road Tunnel, although, as its name suggests, this is not available for public traffic.
Bus links[edit]
The bus and coach station in the frontal building is served by a number of bus and coach services, including long-distance National Express coach service, "The Airline" service running from Oxford, RailAir buses, local public bus services, shuttle buses to airport hotels, long term car parking and car hire lots, and staff shuttle buses.
Because Terminal 5 is close to the boundary of Greater London, some local buses are part of the London Buses network, whilst others are run by operators from outside the London Buses area.
Personal rapid transit system[edit]
A 2.4-mile (3.9 km)-long elevated and at grade personal rapid transit system links the business car park nearby and the main Terminal 5A building. The system opened to public usage in May 2011, although its usage was initially described as passenger trials, with full service commencing in September of the same year.[27][28] This system has been designed by Bristol based Advanced Transport Systems to their ULTra design, and the intention is that it will eventually transport passengers around the perimeter fence to Terminals 2 and 3.
Automated people mover[edit]
An underground automated people mover (APM) system, to the Bombardier Innovia APM 200 design, is used to transport passengers between Terminal 5A, Terminal 5B and Terminal 5C. The APM system is located air side and is thus only available to passengers and other authorised personnel. The system can accommodate up to 6,800 passengers per hour and the trains run at 50 kilometres per hour (31 mph) with a journey time of 45 seconds. Passengers descend to the station via the longest open design escalator in Europe,[citation needed] the escalators are also the longest in the United Kingdom, longer than those at Angel tube station on the London Underground, which had held the title since 1992.
