U.S., Asia, Caribbean top trending travel destinations
NEW YORK (Reuters) - With air fares to Europe climbing, Americans seem to be interested in traveling in their own country this summer or could be heading to Asia and the Caribbean, new figures shows.
Online searches for U.S. destinations on the metasearch engine KAYAK have risen by as much as 22 percent, while searches for top European cities have slumped as airline prices to Europe have risen since last year.
Interest in Rome is down 65 percent since this time last year, while searches for London dropped 40 percent and economically troubled Athens and Paris have also slipped, according to KAYAK.
"Historically Europe is a really popular summer destination, however with the 2012 Olympics this year and the Queen's jubilee, prices are astronomically high for all of western Europe, not just London itself," said Kevin Turner, a spokesperson for KAYAK.
"It seems U.S. travelers are looking more internally at the United States for travel this year and staying within the country," he added.
The KAYAK findings are based on searches on its website in January. There were 100 million searches on the site that month, according to Turner.
Interest in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Hawaii, San Francisco and Cancun have gone up by double digits, along with destinations in the Dominican Republic, which are up 15 percent, and searches for Freeport in the Bahamas soared 57 percent.
"You always see Vegas, LA and New York in the top U.S. destinations but you don't see Hawaii a lot, but it is obviously an amazing place," said Turner.
He added that air fares to the Dominican Republic have dropped 16 percent, which could explain the increased interest there and the Bahamas' close proximity to the United States makes it an easy vacation destination. Continued...

The new format is DREADFUL! It is harder to see the clues and grid, harder to navigate around the puzzle, and is totally inferior to the old one. How do we access the old format?
I didn't know it was changing. I usually print out the blank puzzle anyway so I can solve at my leisure. I really hate the timers, I find I'm watching how much time has elapsed rather than solving the puzzle. The printed puzzle is nice. I didn't see if this was the case for the Sunday crossword.
I blame you for this Eric! You got me hooked on the daily crossword, and I was getting pretty dang good time scores.
The new format is awful. Not only do you have to wait through a commercial to play (which is why I'm here right now), but the new format is clunky and slow. They have elminated functions like using the Tab key to skip from space to space, which completely throws me off and slows me down. I also have no idea what the scores mean.
I prefer to print the puzzle and do it on the train...I'm in total withdrawal and it's NOT FUN!
I used to print the old puzzle & solve it during lunch. Now, my corp. IT "security" picks up the advertisement and blocks my access. No more puzzles at lunchtime! This blows!
So far I don't like the new puzzle.
If I have to sit through a commercial to get to play for free, well, that's the cost. I won't complain.
I'm finding it difficult to navigate. Perhaps all the functions are there, but I have yet to find them. So far I have to use my mouse to navigate to to the space and double click to go from across to down. I'm getting used to skipping already filled-in letters. I used to find going over them a second time annoying, especially when I mis-typed them.
As usual, new things are just that. New. And take some getting used to. If all the navigation short cuts reveal themselves (would it KILL them to list them?) then maybe it won't be so bad.
Don't get me started with the Jumble!
I agree that this new format is dreadful. I have had a puzzle addiction and this may break me of it.
I do not care for your new format - neither the crossword nor the Suduko!
You just lost a subscriber.
Like it? So far I haven't been able to access it. I just might buy a book of crossword puzzles, and just skip the whole thing!
Most of the time, the commercial doesn't even load. Just a black screen with "advertisement" at the top, but no ad. Can't even get the puzzle to download. Do I need a java update or something?
Like it? Despise it! It is harder to find, harder to negotiate and much less fun! What are you thinking of? Put it back the way it was, Please!
--Just black screen with "advertisement" at top of page. Nothing else.

I hate American Idol
There. I said it. I know I'm in the minority here, but I've never really liked American Idol all that much, and this week I am REALLY hating it because stupid AI bumped both Lie to Me AND Bones--which are my absolute favorite TV shows--off the air for special editions of AI. Boo.

High cholesterol, specifically high LDL and low HDL, is clearly a risk factor for the development of heart disease, heart attack, and death. High cholesterol promotes the development of atherosclerosis or fatty plaques in the heart arteries. The blood flow to the heart muscle can then be slowly interrupted by this gradual narrowing or suddenly cut off if the plaque ruptures and forms a blood clot. The neck and brain arteries can also develop fatty plaques as well. One would then think that a clear association exists between high cholesterol and stroke.
A recent analysis looked at 61 studies involving almost 900,000 people and tried to make a clear connection between cholesterol and death from stroke. (The fact that there have been 61 studies looking at this question should give you some clue as to what the final conclusion was) In the end, there was no clear independent relationship between high cholesterol and death from stroke. However, the relationship between high cholesterol and the risk of death from heart disease was again confirmed.
Contrast to the above findings, statins are a class of medications that specifically lower cholesterol mainly by reducing bad LDL. Numerous studies have shown that statins lower the risk of heart attack in those with high cholesterol. A recent study from 2006 showed that those who had suffered a stroke can reduce their risk of another stroke by taking this cholesterol lowering medication. In this particular study, LDL was reduced by more than a third, and the relative risk of stroked was reduced by ~15%.
So how do we reconcile the two paradoxical findings? On the one hand, high cholesterol does not seem to be a strong independent risk factor for stroke and yet a potent cholesterol lowering medication can protect against recurrent stroke. The answer seems to be that statins are more than just cholesterol lowering medicines. They are anti-inflammatory agents that may stabilize fatty plaques and reduce the risk of rupture. They also seem to help blood vessel walls relax and may prevent blood from clotting. Other cholesterol lowering treatments such as diet/exercise have not been shown to reduce the risk of stroke thereby confirming that statins prevent stroke independent of cholesterol.
One other thing to consider is that not all strokes are caused by narrowing of the neck and brain arteries by fatty plaque. A blood clot or embolus from the heart or another part of the body can interrupt blood flow to the brain and smaller brain arteries may narrow as a consequence of high blood pressure. Also, bleeding into the brain can cause a stroke as well. Scientists were once concerned that lowering cholesterol too low with statins may increase the risk of a bleeding stroke, but this does not seem to the case.
In summary, high cholesterol is weakly associated with an increased risk of stroke and the use of cholesterol lowering medicines called statins can protect you from a recurrent stroke. But, lowering cholesterol is not the main reason for this effect. These medicines are safe to take even when cholesterol is already low and do not appear to increase the risk of a bleeding stroke.

(2001) First simultaneous observations of flux transfer events at the high-latitude magnetopause by the cluster spacecraft and pulsed radar signatures in the conjugate ionosphere by the CUTLASS and EISCAT radars.

Cluster magnetic field data are studied during an outbound pass through the post-noon high-latitude magnetopause region on 14 February 2001. The onset of several minute perturbations in the magnetospheric field was observed in conjunction with a southward turn of the interplanetary magnetic field observed upstream by the ACE spacecraft and lagged to the subsolar magnetopause. These perturbations culminated in the observation of four clear magnetospheric flux transfer events (FTEs) adjacent to the magnetopause, together with a highly-structured magnetopause boundary layer containing related field features. Furthermore, clear FTEs were observed later in the magnetosheath. The magnetospheric FTEs were of essentially the same form as the original "flux erosion events" observed in HEOS-2 data at a similar location and under similar interplanetary conditions by Haerendel et al. (1978). We show that the nature of the magnetic perturbations in these events is consistent with the formation of open flux tubes connected to the northern polar ionosphere via pulsed reconnection in the dusk sector magnetopause. The magnetic footprint of the Cluster spacecraft during the boundary passage is shown to map centrally within the fields-of-view of the CUTLASS SuperDARN radars, and to pass across the field-aligned beam of the EISCAT Svalbard radar (ESR) system. It is shown that both the ionospheric flow and the backscatter power in the CUTLASS data pulse are in synchrony with the magnetospheric FTEs and boundary layer structures at the latitude of the Cluster footprint. These flow and power features are subsequently found to propagate poleward, forming classic "pulsed ionospheric flow" and "poleward-moving radar auroral form" structures at higher latitudes. The combined Cluster-CUTLASS observations thus represent a direct demonstration of the coupling of momentum and energy into the magnetosphere-ionosphere system via pulsed magnetopause reconnection. The ESR observations also reveal the nature of the structured and variable polar ionosphere produced by the structured and time-varying precipitation and flow.

It helps, when you're a movie star, to be what they call "movie star handsome."
But don't tell that to Guy Pearce. A leading man, oft-employed as a dashing cad (The King's Speech) or chiseled villain (Iron Man 3), he still thinks of himself as a character actor.
"Vanity goes out the window," he says. Especially in his latest film, The Rover. He plays a man whose car is stolen in a post-apocalyptic Australia. The power grid is down. Water is at a premium. So bathing, shaving, or wearing anything other than stained and torn shorts is not an option.
"With a film like this, to maintain the integrity of the character, I really let myself go," Pearce, 46, says with a chuckle. "We get to be vain enough on the red carpet. I let that go, in between red carpets, anyway. You get far enough out in the desert, it doesn't matter."
His character in the film seems cruel, monomaniacal, and ruthless. All he wants is that stolen car. He doesn't care who he has to shoot or make an alliance with to get it back.
"The most interesting characters, to me, are the ones that let me swim around in that middle ground, where you might feel the urge to like or root for somebody, but they won't let you. Not right away. You root for them, but you don't know why, exactly. This mystery man may be redeemable. But you can't figure him out."
Pearce is winning some of the best reviews in years for the film, for "a performance of pure controlled ferocity," as Kenneth Turan wrote in the Los Angeles Times.
"You know so little about this guy for so much of the film," Pearce says. "You get little hints, here and there, about who he is or was. And you kind of get why he has to get this car back. It's a tough ask, to ask the audience to go all the way with you, to commit to the character, from beginning to end in this movie. I hope they buy in."
Pearce, born in Britain and reared in Australia, was the L.A. Confidential star who didn't turn into Russell Crowe. He had his shot, but 2002's The Time Machine and other Hollywood efforts didn't make him a superstar.
He had his dark years — drug addictions that he has spoken of, after he found the wherewithal to quit. And then he found his niche — leading roles in offbeat thrillers, such as Memento, chewy supporting roles in Traitor, The Hurt Locker, or Factory Girl where he did spot-on impersonation of Andy Warhol.
But co-starring in The Rover with Robert Pattinson of Twilight gave him a taste of what he missed.
"I don't know if I'd be able to handle it as well as him," Pearce says of Pattinson. "I'm certainly glad I avoided that, but I was never in a position where it was going to get that out of hand, for me. Some people naturally resonate a kind of energy that draws the crazy fans, and lots of them. Rob has that magnetism, and invites that sort of enthusiasm.
"But if you shoot deep enough in the Australian desert, they can't find you. Rob got mobbed by the locals. There weren't many of them. It was nice to see him enjoy the remoteness, the privacy and freedom that being that far away from the mobs gave him."
Something about Australia has always suggested "end of days" in the movies. From On the Beach to The Road Warrior, the Outback has been a favorite vision of what the world will look like if the environment, the economy, and civilization break down.
"The landscape, with its vast, barren open spaces, says the end is coming, or has already arrived, doesn't it?" Pearce says. "When we think of civilization ending, life reaching some sort of environmental extreme, we think the deserts of Australia."

Bandora village panchayat, which granted permission for Sanatan Sanstha to set up its base in its jurisdiction, has now sought to ban the institution bowing to public pressure.
The village panchayat, which covers Ramnathi, where Sanstha's Ashram is located, has already moved a resolution seeking the ban on them as an offshoot of Margao bomb blast.
The activities of this decade-old organisation moved to this village in 2003 when Ashram took shape here near Shree Ramnath Devasthan.
All was well till October 16, when a blast rocked the commercial capital of Goa – Margao.
Two Sanatan activists were killed in the explosion and subsequent investigation exposed entire network linking Sanstha's seekers to the conspiracy of serial bomb blast.
The eerie of silence filled with tension got vocal during gram sabha on Sunday when villagers vehemently spoke against Sanstha.
A villager Vasant Bhat moved a resolution seeking to ban Sanstha and it was adopted unanimously after discussion.
"The resolution is demanding ban on the institution and also seeks to investigate the affairs of Ashram," Divakar Salelkar, Bandora panchayat secretary, told PTI.
Local sarpanch Prabhakar Gawde, who could not resist the locals from moving the resolution, said that they have forwarded it to Governor Dr S Sidhu, Chief Minister Digamber Kamat and local MLA Sudin Dhavalikar.

Olive Harvest 2011 – Milling from Olive to Oil
Once we had decided that five days picking was more than enough, certainly in one stretch, the next task was to get the olives to the mill. A good job we did stop when we did as we only just got them all in the X-Trail and the Smart Car would really have not been much help would it! If you have not yet read my post on our picking and would like to do so just click on this link. Olive Harvest 2011 – Picking
Loaded and ready to go!
Off we then went on a short drive to the Oleificio in Montefiascone, where they were expecting us. We had arranged to arrive with our crop sometime on the Tuesday morning when we we would be given a more precise appointment for our milling.
Arriving at the mill olives are unloaded into a large crate.
Our crate is the one in the top left hand picture and when we left on Tuesday it had been moved into the warehouse area for storage, photo top right. Before leaving we confirmed in the office that our slot for milling would be the next day, Wednesday 16th November verso (towards)2pm.
Having been through this process before we warned my sister that we were probably in for a very long afternoon at the mill. Fortunately she did not seem to mind, although she did take her book as I suggested she never actually got to read it, as she found the whole process interesting, well I she seemed to! We arrived at the appointed time and our arrival was acknowledged immediately, however it was probably half an hour later when someone decided to tell us that due to a breakdown during the night, they were running a couple of hours behind, so why not go off somewhere else for awhile. We took the advice and went off to the station to check the times for my sister's train to Roma the next morning, we were unable to buy her ticket though as the Tabac (where they sell train tickets) was of course closed for the afternoon as were most of the local shops. There is a new branch of Todis in Montefiascone opened on 26th October which is unusually 'orario continuato' continuous opening with no afternoon closure, so we did a little food shopping before returning to the mill for our rescheduled appointment.
On our return we located our crate, now outside, see the bottom row in the mosaic above, just before 4pm our turn arrived. The crate was weighed we were given our ticket, for use later to pay for the milling process which is calculated by the amount of oil produced, then the olives were loaded into the hopper and the process began. The olives would appear as olive oil in approx two hours time, I followed the process as best I could in these photos. The first mosaic of photos show the olives being weighed, before being tipped into the hopper, the leaves are then separated from the olives by being blown and deposited in the basket outside, see bottom left of picture, before the olives are sent off into the milling machinery.
As mentioned above the leaves have been separated as the olives make their way into this first stage of the milling process where they are washed and ground.
In the next stage of the process the pulp is transferred into tanks, there are six in all and they are used in rotation, our olive pulp was designated to tank number two.
An impressive looking beast here are some close ups of the procedure, notice how red the pulp is going down the tube in the first photo, top left! The operative kindly opened the lid so that I could photograph the pulp entering the chamber.
While we waited for the oil, I will took a few photos around the mill, including where the waste product from the procedure is transferred to. It appears to lose its colour looking at the last photo ' stuff' which had been around for awhile maybe used as a compost product but this is just a guess.
The setting sun, Montefiascone Duomo and general environs of the mill.
The green lights indicate that the pulp is ready for the next stage and the chamber is emptied as it passes through the next batch of machinery to the final stages, the waste product is removed and ends up where I showed you in a previous collage. It gets exciting as the procedure enters the final stages as you wait for your very own olive oil to appear.
Which it finally does and to our delight the operatives told us that not only was our oil of a very good quality, but in fact even better it was excellent, they knew this because of the transparency, just take a look at the large photo!
We are very pleased with the end result and I hope you have enjoyed my very basic description of the process, any mistakes are my own!

This is so exciting and interesting and I'm feeling really green with envy! We love olive oil and use it almost all the time. There are some really good olive oil producers right on our doorstep so we are not short on choice. I loved following the whole process with you. Your photographs are excellent, too.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was very interesting for us today Linda, to see how your freshly picked olives ended up as Olive Oil, and how marvellous to be told that it was of excellent quality! That must have made you feel very proud! Thanks for sharing with us today and I really enjoyed looking at the photos of the whole process.
ReplyDeleteMy first ever to see olive picking and then turn to oil. Thanks for sharing.
Advent TablesettingThis is one of the most interesting and fascinating posts I have read in a long time. I have always wondered how olive oil was made, and now I have learned there is LOTS more to it than meets the eye. What a long, drawn out process. Your mosaics are super. I am so impressed with all you went through to put this post together. Thanks so much. It was wonderful. genie
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job showing and describing the whole process, Linda! I've seen this done in a more rustic way in my husband's hometown in Calabria. The by products were used by the local potter who fired up his kiln with the discards. In Italy it is so wonderful that nothing goes to waste.
Your pure olive oil must taste so wonderful...enjoy!

Feature Rich, State of the Art Hosting
Did you know that a 1-second delay in page load time can cause a 7% decrease in the conversion rate of your e-commerce website? Or that 40% of the visitors to you website will abandon you website after 3 seconds? These are just some of the scary statistics about the effects of a slow website/web application. One of the key components that contribute to a slow website is latency. Latency is the time taken by a server to receive and process a request from a client. It is largely dependent on the distance between the server and the client(your website visitor). By hosting your website on BigRock's India servers, you will significantly reduce the effect of latency on the speed of your website. Just take a look at the screenshots below:
Connecting to a Hosting Server in the US
Connecting to a Hosting Server in the India
As you can see, the latency of a server hosted in India is more than 30X lower. This is because you are connecting to the server from India, and the distance that your request has to travel is significantly less than what it has to travel to make a request to our US-hosted servers. This means your website loads faster, your customers don't leave your website, and your revenue increases.
We have also tied up with the only Certified Tier 4 Datacenter in India, GPX. You can read more about our datacenter here. By ensuring that our servers are as close to your website visitor as possible, and by going with a premium datacenter provider, BigRock is providing you with the best possible shared hosting product.
Simple and Easy! There is no one cheaper than BigRock for your website.

Opening Ceremony Goes Supermodel Chic
Posted Thursday October 11, 2012 3:00 PM GMT
Taking their game to the next level, Dana Veraldi and Kevin Tekinel have teamed up with Opening Ceremony for a trilogy of terrific t-shirts.
The new partnership will yield tops that feature Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and Cindy Crawford, as an homage to supermodels of the 1990s.
Veraldi told ELLE.com, "The Cindy shirt was a bit different for us in that it's a little more graphic. And the comb was an obvious choice for Naomi."
"We were thinking of other fashion icons to do and thought it would be funny to do a cat. It will be our first time to print on a black shirt," she added regarding an upcoming tee with Kar Lagerfeld's feline friend Choupette.

The quintessential backstage musical comedy classic 42nd STREET takes the stage at the Lutcher Theater for two shows on Thursday, March 16 and Friday, March 17, at 7:30 p.m.
Screaming for something exciting and music related to do in Orange? Well, the Orange Convention and Visitors Bureau is hosting the Downtown Music Festival on Saturday, March 25.
"We are excited to bring the Downtown Music Festival to Orange," said Hillary Haynes, social media coordinator for the City of Orange. "This gives the opportunity to bring an eclectic mix of music to one area where locals and visiting fans can come and enjoy a variety of sounds and talents."
Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage is an unprecedented live experience, exploding with heart-pounding music played live by an eight-piece onstage band, passionate romance and sensational dancing. The staged production of the worldwide smash-hit film with live music will play the Lutcher Theater on Tuesday, Nov. 22, at 7:30 p.m. and Wednesday, Nov. 23, at 2 pm. Tickets are $45-$75 and can be purchased online at lutcher.org or by calling (409) 886-5534.
Despite historic flooding by the Sabine River, the City of Orange Convention & Visitor's Bureau happily announced that the 14th annual Art in the Park will go on as planned Saturday, April 9, at Stark Park (711 Green Ave.) from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
The Orange City Council held a public hearing Tuesday, Feb. 10, to discuss the proposed rehabilitation and revamp of Navy Park at 511 Morrell Blvd. in the historic Navy District in Orange. According to information presented by Grants Planner Sandra Wilson at the Feb.
A town hall meeting Saturday, March 23, at the American Legion Post 49 on Green Avenue was intended by organizers to be a meeting presenting both sides of the controversy over a proposed memorial that would display more than 20 Confederate flags including the infamous battle flag and would be visible from Interstate 10. It turned into a very one-sided affair, however, when no one from the organization Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) showed up to speak their piece.
Visiting Judge Elizabeth Ray has thrown out an arbitrator's ruling that instructed the city of Orange to reinstate ousted Orange Police Captain Robert Arnold, who was relieved of his civil service duties after fatally shooting an unarmed Marine veteran July 26, 2010.
The Orange City Council officially denied CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp.'s request for a rate increase at its meeting Tuesday, Oct. 23. The council previously reviewed the ordinance for denial of the proposed increase at its Oct. 9 meeting and approved the measure unanimously Oct. 23.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

I've taken out the "burn queue" while the disc is being made, and I renamed the "clear queue" to "cancel disc generation". Removing it would give the user no way to reset his queue if something went wrong (a bug, a transcoding daemon restart, or a zope restart while processing).

Day 8 Hakodate
Trip Start
Apr 04, 2010
Trip End
May 11, 2010
Where I stayed
Afternoon came bringing with it more strong gusts of cold wind to freeze us seeing as though for some reason I thought it a good idea not to wear a jumper...dont ask me why. We headed back to Aozora to meet Morgan as Giulietta and him were going to the first western style fort built on the island called "Goryokaku Fort" while I stayed and did washing and nursed my aching knee (doesn't like shrines apparently). After they left I walked to the local coffee shop called doutor (I have no idea what that means) and had some afternoon tea which was... AWESOME, mocca-latte is very nice when its cold outside, then came back to load up our weeks worth of blogs as lack of internet made it difficult to keep it up to date.
That night we strolled down the street to look for some dinner and found a group of small ramen shops in a group with enough room to fit 6 people in each shop, entering the first one we passed we sat down and ordered whatever they recommended and had a look around the small establishment.. which took all of 15seconds to do. Apparently we had chosen to eat in ramen shop dedicated to supporting the Hokkaido Fighters Baseball team and the owners were fanatics who had signatures from all the players all over the back wall. After dinner we went home and had an early night as we were leaving early the next morning.

They are made nests in my hemlocks last year.
All the chicks lived.
I have a rooftop antenna they like as well.
...I refuse to pay the Cablevision Crooks. The HD Signals (direct from the Empire State building and Bridgeport) are better as well. They are not watered down and compressed.
The antenna is on a rotor it turns and can point. - Tuesday, April 15, 2008

It's Hillary's entire campaign that's starting to get offensive. Which is why more and more of us Democrats are switching to Obama's camp.
and they get more desperate
It should be up to the Democratic Party of what to do with the delegate count in Michigan and Florida as well as how the superdelegates should be directed to place their votes.....after all, it is their party and if they want to run it as a dictatorship, well then let them. Unfortunately, the Clintons think they ARE the party. If the Clinton's get their way, Barack out to drop out of the race and run as an independent.........wouldn't that be interesting?
This is only going to matter if Clinton can reverse the pro-Obama trend. If she ends up where she is now, down 70 delegates even counting the superdelegates, she has no claim to the nomination. And given the proportional distribution of delegates, she would have to win double-digit victories in the remaining states to make up her current deficit.
She should turn all of her attention, and all her resources, to attacking John McCain. It might not improve her situation enough, but it would help more than going negative against Obama (who Democrats have already decided they like).
And even if she falls short, she would have done millions of dollars worth of damage to the Republicans. The party would probably thank her with a Senate leadership position.
Before talking about deligates. We need to know who is real Obama. There is a story allover the enternet about a lawsuit filed in Minnesuta against Obama and his campaign by a plantiff named Larry Sinclair. What is going on. Why you CNN ignore this huge media incident. Are you waiting until he gets the nomination, then you will bring it up. Do your job and tell us what is the story.
Hillary wants to change the rules in her favor. Where was this argument when she was up huge in polls back in 07? This is pathetic
Hillary Rodman Clinton, I am so tired and sick of your hypocrisy. Please be realistic. Do you think calling in favors and GOING against the DNC's sanction against seating Michigan and Florida will be met with roses and poses?? You are trying to tarnish everything good about the DNC party with cheating (seating MI and FL).
Not only that you are SUPPRESSING the will of the people if you bribe and call in favors from super delegates.You are going against everything sane and rational. Do you want to cause a civil war! RULE are RULES! Those two states disqualified themselves. Mr. Obama's name wasnt on Michigan's ballot! How in all that is right and democratic will you want to seat Michigan?
I am sorry, but HRC is getting really desperate and deluded at this point. This is not change Hillary. Dirty politicking wont work in this century. Someday, anybody, please talk some decency into this woman.
To argue that superdelegates should not look to the primary when making their decision is ridiculous. Many superdelegates are elected officials who will consider the will of their constituents when it comes time to give their support to a candidate, or possibly face a primary battle their own next time around.
I think that it was absolutely disgraceful that you insulted senator clinton last night by cutting her off for obama. This is a first that that a politiicain goes on while the other is speaking,,and you only reinforced his ego mania by doing so........
When is the media going to start asking Obama the tough questions instead of treating him with kidd-gloves? No one wants these questions to appear to be "racial", but the republicans will have a field day with him. Has anyone questioned him over religion and what his minister speaks about? Everyone was all over Romney.....
What is up???
Oh, for pity's sake! First HRC agrees to the DNC rules; then she campaigns anyway; now she wants to count those delegates as hers. How mean-spirited.
So far as the SDs are concerned–if they don't reflect the views of their constituency, they will not only hurt the party and country but also lose their elected positions. Name me one politician who would be so stupid as to do this!
Hey, how come my pro Hillary comments always gets censored? I mean the pro-obomo tone on your channel is pretty obvious but blatantly censoring somebody for their views is down right shameless.
Hillary 08
People from Florida and Michigan should be heard. The people from Florida and Michigan have selected their candidate. We should not ignore their vote. The delegates should be seated from both those places. Democractic leader should see this happen. If Hilary is not nominated we will not for anyone this Nov.
Wouldn't it be cool if politians did the same thing as they do in sports. We have the NCAA Tournament Championship & the losers end up going to the NIC Tournament Championship (Nothing against any team that went to either tournament). Why don't we have Hillary Clinton & Mike Huckabee play in the political equivalent of the NIC Tournament, then Barack Obama and John McCain play in the political equivalent of the NCAA Tournament. Perhaps, Clinton & Huckabee will have another opportunity to win something.
Love you all. Seriously.
HRC agreed to punish Florida and Michigan and now she wants them counted .She voted for a war and never read the handout. Now she blames Busha nd not take fall for her vote. HRC supporters, you see the wishy washy tactics? Obama is not a saint but he stands for a bright and graceful America to come. Americans its time to believe and build your country back to the the best you can be.
If Sen Clinton continues this fight and takes FL, MI and super delegates to the floor of the convention to fight, we all lose. If after TX and OH the status quo remains unchanged, it needs to end. If it does not, then we will have to understand she is not a worred about November like all of in the trenches are, and that the party, and the problems Bush has created are secondary to her campaign.
Get the fork ready...she is almost done!!!
Go home Hillary. And, take Bill with you. The sooner the better for the democratic party and the american people.
How do you debate someone that uses the logic of "Change"?
Here's a clue. Obama won't change anything. If he were President, from a power point of view, his powers would be clear, they are defined in the Constitution and in law. From a "changing the tone in Washington" point of view, he's the most liberal politician in Washington, he'll get immediate criticism from even the moderates in his own party. Concerning foreign policy, he'll be laughed at by other world leaders for how naive he is. From a domestic policy point of view, he's promised everyone everything. With that as his starting point, he's sure to disappoint many, many people. If elected, his political honeymoon would last about 2 days.
Obama has been put on such a high pedestal, he has no chance to meet peoples expectations. Obama could easily make Jimmy Carter's presidency look good.
You might be able to pay some lip service to seating the Florida Delegates, but there is no way you can seat the Michigan Delegates. Senator Clinton said herself prior to Iowa, that she did not see any reason to be on the Michigan ballot.
The system is the system, but unless Howard Dean steps up and becomes the leader of the party we all hoped he would be in 2004, you are looking at the end of the DNC. There is no way that the millions of Obama supporters (who are new to the political process) are going to transfer to Senator Clinton. The Democratic Party is going to lose millions of potential supporters over loyality to the first family of the DNC. This is so much bigger than two individuals. An entire generation of voters are at stake.
It is time now for the DNC to solve this problem so that they can bring Florida and Michigan back into the fold, and not risk a messy 4 months that will ultimately result in another loss of the White House and likely a loss of the House of Reps as well.
Dean needs to straw poll the Supers right now, and let the to candidates know the results.
It seems the more Ms. Clinton pushes the issue of the superdelegates and the seating of Florida and Michigan delegates that she's sounding more and more strident and shrill. Rather than honest campaigning and admitting that her campaign has hit a wall, she's now saying that delegates should ignore the will of the people. Tactics like that only turn off more potential voters, and if she is the nominee, will alienate much of the independent voters who would prefer a serious change in attitude and perspective.
To me Clinton is a VERY SORE LOSER WHICH MAY COST HER THE RACE I AM SURPRIZED AT HOW PETTY AND UNPROFESSIONAL SHE BECOMES EACH TIME she fears that she is losing the raise. She is very uninspiring right now.
And to change the way votes are counted because you are losing sounds like a lession she should have learned in grammer school I really wish she had a spine.
The votes of the people of Florida and Michigan SHOULD count regardless of who wins the nomination. They voted. They did nothing wrong. It was the Democratic Parties of those states that decided to go ahead with primaries early NOT the poor citizens who had no say in the matter.
Yes. Delegates should be seated from FL and Michigan. Otherwise it is not fair to people of Florida and Michigan. Leaders should act quickly on this matter.
I think that the Clinton campaign should accept that their reactive strategies are putting the nail in the coffin. The negative campaigning that they are doing really disappoints me as a longtime Clinton supporter. They are characterizing themselves as political insiders who would rather sling mud than be proactive about what matters most.
I'm not stupid, and I feel patronized by the junk that's being put out there inferring that, because Obama allegedly plagarized, or because his wife wasn't extra proud of her country at all times that she is less patriotic, and as such, one can only conclude that Clinton is the better candidate. I can make up my own mind, thank you very much. The message that I am instead receiving is that this is a desperate campaign that will do anything to win.
I also do not respect their attempt at manipulating the role of super-delegates and will leave this party if the super-delegates pander themselves to the will of the Clinton machine.
I am beginning to understand the term Clinton fatigue, and honestly don't think I can support this candidate.

Taking centre stage in any Orbitsound review is the company's spatial stereo technology and with the T9 it is no different. In a nutshell the claim is spatial stereo eliminates the geographic sweet spot for stereo in a room and instead allows it to be enjoyed from any position.
How it works is by mixing the audio produced by the drivers with spatial loudspeakers positioned at 90 degrees to them and 180 degrees from one another - in the case of a soundbar that means they are at the ends. Their interaction primarily takes place in the mid frequency band and is reduced at higher frequencies to ensure sound fidelity. When combined with a separate subwoofer the effects can be startling and with the T9 they most certainly are.
For such a small system the performance of the T9 is quite extraordinary. It produces rich, warm and truly room filling audio that is as comfortable with music as it is handling the latest explosive blockbuster. The room filling aspect is perhaps the most impressive element as it is not just the surprisingly high 140RMS output of the T9 which helps achieve this, but the success of the spatial stereo system.
Wherever you sit in a room there is a sense that the sound has been repositioned just for you. When you are camped in front of a movie this isn't vital, but for music (when you are more likely to be moving around) it is a revelation and it won't matter that the T9 itself is probably stuffed under the TV. Those who prefer to arrange their rooms stylistically rather than based around their audio equipment will rejoice.
Naturally enough though, we do have some quibbles. For those with specific sound signature preferences the T9's treble and bass adjustment is crude taking rather substantial jumps with each press on the remote. As such it is easy to find yourself stuck in a too much/too little scenario, but we can't imagine it will bother the majority of listeners. In addition, good as spatial stereo is, it doesn't respond particularly well with lower bitrate music and can sound more monotone than spatial so some re-ripping of your CD collection may be required (and recommended in general, in any case).
That said it is hard to get too picky about either of these elements when looking at the T9's price…

Tên thiết bị: Apple 15.4" MacBook Pro - Z0RD-MGXC23 (2014)
Thương hiệu: Apple
Tình trạng: hàng mới, chính hãng 100%
Thời gian đặt hàng: 2 - 3 tuần
The 15.4" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer with Retina Display from Apple is a powerful notebook computer with an innovative, ultrathin, ultraportable aluminum unibody design. It is loaded with advanced power management features and an integrated lithium polymer battery, which work together to provide up to 8 hours of wireless web browsing.
The widescreen, LED-backlit IPS screen has a glossy finish and a native resolution of 2880 x 1800. With 220 pixels per inch, this MacBook Pro has a pixel count of over 5 million. You'll be able to output to 2 external displays at up to 2560 x 1600 via Thunderbolt 2 (Mini DisplayPort). Any Mini DisplayPort-compatible display will plug in without the need for an adapter. This MacBook Pro also adds an HDMI port so HDMI-compliant devices, particularly HDTVs, are now natively supported as well. Visuals are handled by a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics card with 2GB of GDDR5 discrete memory.
The system is powered by a quad-core 4th generation Crystalwell 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor. The 4th-gen Crystalwell processor uses low voltage for improved battery life without sacrificing performance. The MacBook Pro with Retina Display also has 16GB of onboard 1600MHz DDR3L RAM, 1TB of PCIe-based flash storage and an SDXC media card slot. You'll be able to connect to the Internet with high-speed 802.11ac Wi-Fi. The MacBook Pro also supports a/b/g/n Wi-Fi networks as well. The MacBook Pro also features built-in Bluetooth 4.0, which allows you to connect wireless headphones, keyboard, mice and other compatible peripherals without a hassle.
This MacBook Pro has dual Thunderbolt 2 ports, a high-speed interface that can move data at an amazing 20 Gbps, which is four times that of the USB 3.0 standard. Speaking of USB 3.0, Apple still supports USB 3.0. This MacBook Pro now features two USB 3.0 ports so you no longer have to buy an adapter, but can use USB 3.0-compliant devices natively as well. There is also a MagSafe 2 power port, which uses a magnetic connector that safely disengages from the computer when accidentally pulled. Please note that MagSafe 2 is not compatible with MagSafe adapters.
The computer features a comfortable backlit chiclet-style keyboard, which features space between each key for improved accuracy and comfort when typing. It also sports a glass multi-touch trackpad with a clickable design. Rather than having a separate button for mouse clicks, the entire surface of the pad is clickable. This increases the active surface area and allows you to quickly click without having to maneuver to the bottom of the trackpad.
The trackpad also fully supports multi-touch gestures. You can tap the trackpad with one finger to click, tap with two fingers to right click, scroll through documents using two fingers, pinch to zoom, navigate through Safari or iPhoto with three-finger left and right swipes or use two fingers to rotate a photo or PDF.
iLife has a complete suite of digital creativity applications. Easy enough for anyone to use, iLife will help you edit your home movies, organize digital photos and compose original music. iLife includes iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand.
iWork provides three apps to keep you productive. Pages allow you to make creative word documents. Numbers helps you make spreadsheets more visually insightful. Keynote allows you to create a powerful presentation, complete with animated charts, interactive tables with cinematic effects and transitions.
The 64-bit Mac OS X features Time Machine backup, which automatically backs up system data to an external hard drive. It also features intuitive Cover Flow navigation, the powerful Spotlight search tool and Quick Look document preview. You'll be able to use Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac, if needed.

Both acclaimed and derided on its first publication in 1899, this prescient analysis maintained that the US economy was propelled by the consumption of unessential items that enriched the greedy. Pertinent to our times – the editor of this edition cites Donald Trump and Paris Hilton in her introduction – the rather odd Veblen, who was dismissed from Stanford for womanising and died as a recluse in a mountain cabin, should be compulsory reading. Unfortunately, his dry and verbose satire could do with much more of the "unique and compelling vitality of idiom" that his editor claims.

Colorado retailer Audio Limits was no exception, its large room off the Marriott's atrium featuring Venture Ultimate Reference loudspeakers ($135,000/pair) driven by FM Acoustics 115 monoblocks ($108,200/pair), an FM Acoustics 245 preamp ($25,800), with the source either a PC laptop running XX High End software, a Weiss Jason transport ($22,7070), or a Weiss Man301 network player ($9083 without DAC), Weiss Medea+ FireWire D/A converter ($21,799) . . .
I have no pictures of Ayre's new AX-5 integrated amplifier, no comments on the sound quality of the system, no recollection of even listening to music while in the amazing Ayre room. I do recall very pleasant conversations with readers, exhibitors, and attendees. At any hi-fi show, there are rooms that are all about the gear; rooms that are merely about the technology; rooms that are stuffy or solemn; rooms that are even empty and quiet.
And then there are rooms like this one.
I can't help wonder whether one's truest self is revealed when donning the bright, red glasses. Or, I suppose, while petting the kitty.
But, here, in the MBL suite, just as in the Wilson/VTL suite, the sound of music was so compelling that I was easily able to ignore those aspects that are beyond my appreciation and reach.
The system:
The company's Jack Arnott explained that BMS's drivers can be found everywhere from soundstages in LA to naval paging systems and home audio installations. "I'm using my own cabinets so you can see what's inside," he said. "I am using Home Depot speaker cable because I am selling speaker components, not speaker cable." Well, I must say that both Tony Bennett and K.D. Lang's duet on "La Vie en Rose" and the opening chorale from Glenn Gould's second recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations sounded quite beautiful.

COLLECTION OF MR. D.K. LAM Lin Diqiang, an overseas Chinese residing in Bangkok, completed his Civil Engineering degree in Taiwan in the 1960's and later became a hotel and real estate developer. Although he gained commercial success abroad, Lin missed his homeland and developed great passion towards Chinese art and culture-he regularly visited Hong Kong to buy Chinese paintings and calligraphy to bring back to Thailand. Unfortunately, Lin was forced to stop these trips when illness in the 90's prevented him from traveling. Lin's collection is admirable and exceptional. This sale includes excellent works of art by Qi Baishi, Wu Changshou, Lu Yanshao, Wu Guanzhong, Lin Fengmian, Cheng Shifa and Huang Yongyu, as well as a classical painting by Zheng Xie (Lot 851, to be sold in the sale of Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy). Part of Lin's collection will also be sold this December at Forever Auction in Beijing.

Question: Is there an easy way to help kids adjust to an earlier bedtime for school? All of us have been staying up until 10 or later. — Need More Sleep
Answer: It definitely takes some adjustment for children to get back into a good sleeping pattern after a summer of late nights! However, parents — with some pre-planning and getting started a few weeks before school starts — will be able to ease their children into a great sleep schedule.
Question: The elementary school will be starting up again in two weeks. Should I create a homework center for my 5- and 7-year-old children? Should the children and I do this together? — Crafty Mom

GOREVILLE, Ill. — While many high school juniors spend their summers working, relaxing or volunteering to beef up a college application, Ashlyn Darnell was also training for the rest of her life.
Darnell, who just turned 18 earlier this month, has recently returned from Fort Jackson in South Carolina where she completed Basic Combat Training for the Army. She will complete her senior year at Goreville High School and then report for Advanced Individual Training in May.

LYNCHBURG, Va. — Grain by grain, sediment began to build up in the reservoir behind the tiny dam, as anticipation built on the faces of the high school students watching.
Diana Duckworth, a teacher with the Summer Residential Governor's School Program in Mathematics, Science and Technology had a model river rigged up in her classroom at Lynchburg College. A hose pipe provided the water, which wound up in the sink at the end of its run. Connected metal channels provided a sloping path for the flow.
By Marge Eberts and Peggy Gisler Question: My son has been absolutely addicted to Minecraft this summer — playing it for hours at a time. Most of his friends share this addiction. Why is this game so popular? What are the positives and negatives of playing this game? — Gamer's Parent
Answer: There is no question that Minecraft is extremely popular with children. It may be because it is an extension of things that children like to do: watch television and play computer games and play with LEGOs.

COLUMBUS, Ind. — Cancer free.
Just two words strung together, the term has the power to change lives. Just ask 13-year-old Alana Cook of Columbus.

Artwork Description
Rat was so beautiful that it drove Crow, the jealous lover, out of his mind.
Eventually he was driven so insane by the whole world looking at Rat that he imprisoned Rat in a bottle.
In the middle of nowhere.
A couple of times a year, he would fly to look admire how beautiful his rat in a bottle was, then fly away again, leaving Rat as a prisoner for all eternity.
