Review: Aruba Virtual Branch Network (VBN) RAPs
Page 1 of 3
Aruba Networks RAP-2WG and RAP-5WN
Price: RAP-2WG ($99) or RAP-5WN ($395), plus RN-licensed Aruba controller
Pros: Business-grade WLAN security and QoS without pre-provisioning or on-site IT
Cons: Zero-touch requires 3000/6000 controller, awkward end-user help, $99 only buys 11b/g
Highly-distributed businesses have long faced a choice of evils: ship skilled staff out to install pricey enterprise APs or let small branch and home office workers install their own consumer plug-n-play APs. For organizations with hundreds of storefronts or thousands of teleworkers, the former is prohibitively expensive. But for secure multimedia WLANs, the latter is unthinkable.
According to Aruba Networks, Virtual Branch Networks (VBNs) are a more palatable solution. Interop LV09 judges were impressed, awarding Best of Show in the Wireless/Mobile category to VBN. During our own test drive, we found VBN extremely promisingbut we spotted a few rough edges that could use bit more honing.
Virtualizing remote WLANs
Aruba's VBN is an architecture that enables centralized control over a large number of small remote office WLANs, up to 100 clients apiece. In the VBN architecture, every Remote Access Point (RAP) operates as a remotely-managed VPN gateway, enforcing role-based access policies and tunneling only permitted traffic back to the corporate network.
Sure, branch office VPNs can be built using many enterprise wireless routers. What differentiates Aruba's VBN is entry-level gear with "zero-touch" provisioning. Aruba can drop-ship factory-default $99 RAPs to hundreds of destinations on your behalf. On first power-up, each RAP tunnels over the Internet to a user-designated Aruba controller. When the controller hears from a whitelisted RAP, it installs and activates IT-defined firmware and policies over a secure boot-strap tunnel. The end result: a business-grade WLAN, provisioned in less than ten minutes, with almost no end-user or IT assistance.
Eliminating advance or on-site IT provisioning from an otherwise lengthy, error-prone process speeds new site activation and reduces per-site investment. And, because RAPs are managed over that tunnel throughout their life, IT can remotely assert relatively sophisticated, dynamic role-based access controls. While $99 RAPs are ultimately constrained by inexpensive hardware, the policies they can enforce are far from consumer-grade.
Putting VBN into action
This architecture can be implemented using any combination of the following new VBN RAPs.
- The RAP-2WG ($99) is a fist-sized single-radio 802.11b/g AP with two 10/100 Ethernet ports, targeted for use by "fixed telecommuters" and home offices with up to five users. (Pictured above.)
- The RAP-5WN ($395) is a desktop/wall-mount dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n AP with five 10/100 Ethernet ports, slated for small branch offices with up to 256 users. (Picture below.)
- The RAP-5 ($395, not tested) is a wired-only RAP-5WN, to incorporate small branches that require authenticated, secure Ethernet, but not wireless VBN access.
Older (non-VBN) Aruba RAPs can be added to the same network manuallyfor example, the dual-radio AP-125 for a branch requiring simultaneous dual-band operation. However, the zero-touch feature that appealed to us is only available in new VBN RAPs. To road-test VBN, we therefore installed an RAP-2WG and an RAP-5WN in over a dozen home and small office networks.

Sky News – Oct 24, 2012
A woman who told police she had been subjected to a racist attack in which three men set her alight and scrawled KKK on her car was lying, according to US investigators.
"The wounds were self-inflicted," said Kyle Hanrahan, a spokesman for the FBI's Louisiana bureau.
Sharmeka Moffitt, 20, was seriously burned in the fire and remains in a critical condition.
She called police from a park in the town of Winnsboro on Sunday night and told them three men in white hoodies had doused her with a flammable liquid and ignited it.
The letters KKK, for the white supremacist organisation Ku Klux Klan, and a racial slur were scrawled on her car in what appeared to be toothpaste.
According to local media, investigators decided the burns were self-inflicted after finding Ms Moffitt's fingerprints on a cigarette lighter and lighter fluid.
Louisiana's KATC News reported her family had issued a statement saying: "Our family is devastated to learn the circumstances surrounding our daughter's injuries.
"While this was not the resolution we had expected, it is a resolution, and we appreciate the thorough investigation by the local and state police as well as federal agencies.
"We are sincerely sorry for any problems this may have caused and wish to express our appreciation for the outpouring of love, prayers and support we have received from friends, acquaintances, church organisations and government officials."
The FBI was called in to assist local authorities because the apparent attack was initially considered a possible hate crime.

NEWTOWN, Conn. — A single bell tolled Thursday at the Connecticut funeral of a 6-year-old girl killed by a gunman at her elementary school, while a cardinal in New York compared a slain teacher to Jesus for giving up her life to protect others.
In Newtown, the site of the shooting rampage, grim-faced mourners hurried through the packed parking lot of St. Rose of Lima Church to attend the funeral Mass for 6-year-old Catherine Hubbard.
Catherine's family said in her obituary that she would be remembered for her passion for animals and her constant smile.
Catherine was among the 20 students and six teachers killed when Adam Lanza, armed with a military-style assault rifle, broke into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on Dec. 14 and opened fire. Lanza killed his mother at her home before the attack and committed suicide at the school as police closed in.
Funerals were also scheduled in Connecticut on Thursday for 7-year-old Grace McDonnell and 6-year-olds Benjamin Andrew Wheeler, Jesse Lewis and Allison Wyatt, and a memorial was held for teacher Lauren Gabrielle Rousseau.
In New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan told mourners at the funeral of 52-year-old Anne Marie Murphy that the teacher "brought together a community, a nation, a world, now awed by her own life and death."
Murphy's father, Hugh McGowan, said authorities told him that she died trying to protect her young pupils. Her body was found covering a group of children's bodies as if to shield them, McGowan said.
Dolan underscored her sacrifice.
"Like Jesus, Annie laid down her life for her friends," Dolan said. "Like Jesus, Annie's life and death brings light, truth, goodness and love to a world often shrouded in darkness, evil, selfishness and death."
About 15 people arrived at St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Katonah, N.Y., in a yellow school bus with "Newtown" written on its side. The church quickly filled and about 100 mourners waited outside.
Janelle Wingert, of Wyoming, said in an email interview that she met Murphy when they were involved in the same faith-based community service activities in the Newtown area. She said Murphy asked her after 9/11 what she would do if someone attacked a school where she was working.
"She was serious and so intense in the question," Wingert said in a Facebook post. "She died doing exactly what she said she would do — put herself between the gunman and her little ones, who she saw as the most precious of all in God's heart."
Trinity Episcopal church on Newtown's Main Street was filled to capacity for the funeral of Benjamin Wheeler, and scores of mourners who couldn't get in milled about outside. The service for a child described as a lighthouse buff, budding musician and Beatles fan included a rendition of "Here Comes The Sun" and the hymn "Amazing Grace."
Benjamin's five uncles acted as pallbearers. About two dozen Boy Scout leaders lined the front pathway to the church in honor of the former Cub Scout.
In downtown Danbury, mourners filed into the ornate white-pillared First Congregational Church for a memorial service for teacher Lauren Rousseau. The congregation in the packed church sang "Morning Has Broken" and "Let There Be Peace On Earth."
Friends wept on the altar as they remembered the spirited, hardworking, sunny-natured young woman who loved children and animals, especially cats, and who had always wanted to be a teacher. They spoke of how the 30-year-old brightened their lives with her silliness and gave them all nicknames.
A U.S. Justice Department official told The Associated Press that Attorney General Eric Holder would travel to Newtown on Thursday to meet with first responders and law enforcement officials. The trip comes after Holder met with Vice President Joe Biden, who is tasked with leading an administration-wide effort to create new proposals for reducing gun violence.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the trip hadn't been publicly announced.
In addition to the services, the families of 6-year-old Olivia Rose Engel, behavioral therapist Rachel Marie D'Avino and school psychologist Mary Sherlach have calling hours Thursday.
At least nine funerals and wakes were held Wednesday, and more are set for Friday and Saturday.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are evaluating the feasibility of developing renewable energy production on Superfund, brownfields, and former landfill or mining sites.
Superfund sites are the most complex, uncontrolled, or abandoned hazardous waste sites identified by EPA for cleanup due to the risk they pose to human health or the environment. Brownfields are properties at which expansion, redevelopment, or reuse may be complicated by the presence of contaminants. EPA is investing more than $650,000 for the project that pairs EPA's expertise on contaminated sites with the renewable energy expertise of NREL.
The project is part of the RE-Powering America's Land initiative, which aims to decrease the amount of green space used for development, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide health and economic benefits to local communities, including job creation.
The project will analyze the potential development of wind, solar, or small hydro development at 12 sites. The analysis will include determining the best renewable energy technology for the site, the optimal location for placement of the renewable energy technology on the site, potential energy generating capacity, the return on the investment, and the economic feasibility of the renewable energy projects. The 12 sites are located in Calif., Fla., Kan., Mass., Mich., Minn., Pa., Puerto Rico, R.I., W.Va., and Wis.
Some of the sites under consideration for renewable energy projects have completed cleanup activities, while others may be in various stages of assessment or cleanup. Renewable energy projects on these sites will be designed to accommodate the site conditions.

The absence of and the presence of "god(s)" in the Song of Songs The absence of the Israelite God in the Song of Songs is conspicuous. The poet of the Song is far too sophisticated to attribute this to a slip of the mind. Among many reasons offered for the absence of Israel's societal stereotype of God, might the Song's alternative views on gender relations, within a love setting, perhaps be a reason for prohibiting the "ultimate Patriarch" to interfere? Interestingly the Song contains quite a number of other notions of counter-intuitivity (= gods) confirming humans' propensity, since early evolution, to create gods to fulfil certain needs. Although it is an ancient love-song the Song has much to offer on gender and god constructs and the implications thereof for the civilization of society today.

A Win for Giant Manta Rays
Project AWARE is thrilled that Parties to the Convention on Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) reached agreement last week in Bergen, Norway to list the globally threatened giant manta ray under CMS Appendix I and II.
The listing obligates CMS member countries to provide strict national protections for giant manta rays and their key habitats, and encourages concerted global and regional action among all Range States to conserve the iconic species.
The manta ray listing was proposed by Ecuador. The European Union, Senegal, Madagascar, Australia, United States, Chile, Mozambique, and Uruguay took the floor to express support for the proposal. The host country of the CMS meetings, Norway, also voiced support while suggesting that the similar reef manta ray be listed at the next Conference of the Parties, in three years.
"We are elated that the CMS Parties have embraced Ecuador's proposal for protecting the magnificent and exceptionally vulnerable giant manta ray," said Sonja Fordham, President of Shark Advocates International who was in Bergen last week representing Project AWARE and other organizations supporting the proposal. "CMS is an excellent vehicle for facilitating much needed national and international safeguards for this wide-ranging, globally threatened species and its key habitats."
Manta rays are protected in the U.S. state of Hawaii, Maldives, Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, Yap, Western Australia, and New Zealand. Last week decision marks the first international agreement aimed at conserving manta rays and should spark new protections in key Range States such as Mozambique, India, Sri Lanka, and Peru.
Project AWARE actively supported the manta ray proposal. National safeguards, as well as collaborative regional efforts to study and conserve manta rays, are urgently needed to avoid further depletion of these valuable and iconic animals.
Manta ray eco-tourism is increasingly generating significant economic benefits for local communities across the globe, particularly in Maldives, Mozambique, and Hawaii. A new study estimates the worldwide value of manta-based tourism and filming at US$100 million per year.
Manta rays are, however, under increasing threat from East Asian demand for their gill rakers, used in Chinese medicine, which is driving targeted fisheries.
The greatest threat to manta rays is fishing; their large size, slow movements, and predictable aggregations make them easy targets. Manta rays can grow to more than seven meters across. Female manta rays are thought to produce just one pup after a year-long pregnancy, which contributes to the species' exceptional susceptibility to overfishing. Manta rays feed on plankton filtered through their gills with the help of comb-like projections known as "gill rakers". East Asian demand for gill rakers is reportedly resulting in dramatic increases in targeted manta ray fisheries and subsequent depletion of some local manta ray populations.
Giant manta rays are found in tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, often along coasts and offshore islands. Many of the species' sparsely distributed sub-populations number just a few hundred individuals.
The IUCN Shark Specialist Group has recently added the Giant and Reef manta rays to its Red List of Threatened Species. The creation of international conservation treaties as well as using the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS), CITES and national-level policy changes in countries that fish for mantas are the way forward to protecting these and other vulnerable elasmobranch. Some of these proposals may benefit from the support of the diving community, so please stay tuned!

By changing their programming, Andrews University's residence halls are trying to make a greater impact in their residents' lives. Meier Hall, one of the men's residence halls, has redesigned their programs to present a more holistic emphasis. Lamson Hall, the women's residence hall, is using service and lifestyle-improvement programs to foster unity within and help those outside their walls.
In Meier Hall, traditional worships are biweekly. Twice a week, RAs lead activities on their halls, which can range from simple gatherings to Bible studies. Other programs, including a "Manclass," integrate Christian principles with essential life skills, such as changing a tire or managing personal finances. "It's not just teaching [the residents] how to balance a checkbook, but we also incorporate a Christian understanding of financial matters," says Zachary Juniper, assistant dean of men.
Meier's deans and student leaders wanted to provide a variety of spiritual programming that reaches as many audiences as possible. That way, students can select a worship experience that is meaningful to them. The goal of these programs is to bring "God into the everyday lives of men," says Juniper.
One student involved in bringing God into the everyday lives of students is Jonathan Cobb, a junior who coordinates the Wednesday evening worship.
"Last year I took over the planning with Chaplain Japhet De Oliveira and Dean Juniper," says Cobb. "We conducted surveys to discover the exact spiritual needs on campus. We then introduced a new worship team and brought in more of the speakers from the University chapels.
"This year we have been blessed with an amazing worship team, God's presence, and a chapel packed with over 300 students every week. We are bringing in speakers like Lee Venden, Ann Roda, Eddie Hypolite, and others. Wednesday night worship has turned into a time for a mid-week break from school to listen to and worship our Creator and Father in Heaven."
Lamson Hall
A holistic approach isn't new to the ladies of Lamson Hall, but each year the staff brings a renewed passion to their programming. They incorporate several smaller methods to emphasize every aspect of the Christian life. Similar to Meier's "Manclass," Lamson Hall offers a "Total Package" worship that ties spiritual components into practical aspects of life. "We're trying to un-compartmentalize God and bring Him into every aspect of life," says June Madrigal, associate dean of women.
Occurring every semester, Womanhood Week is a time when the residents can focus specifically on what it means to be a Christian woman and have a growing relationship with God, and provides a safe outlet for questions that residents may not be able to ask their male pastors. Two ongoing lifestyle-improvement incentives, "Catch a Wise Woman" and "NEWSTART," reward women for spiritual, educational and physical growth. Residents are given tickets every time they are caught doing something that will enrich their spiritual, physical or academic lives. They are then able to redeem the tickets for a selection of prizes. "Secret Service" month encourages random acts of kindness throughout the dorm.
Every semester, the residents participate in a community service project. The first semester is usually devoted to a Lamson-wide project and projects are done by halls during second semester. This semester, Lamson Hall is partnering with Interra Foundation to raise funds for a women's literacy program in Nepal. So far Lamson ladies have raised over $1,000 by holding a yard sale as well as collecting donations from within the residence hall community itself. An RA, Gaby Fernandez, is on the board of Interra Foundation and brought the project to the attention of the staff. "When we heard about it, we absolutely fell in love, because empowerment of women is exactly the sort of thing we support," says Madrigal. Fund-raising for this project will continue throughout the semester.

Made-To-Order Nanotubes
By R. Colin Johnson
EE Times
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Using a more complex system of atoms than carbon nanotubes, scientists at Purdue University have devised a tunable approach to nanotube creation that allows them to build application-specific varieties. Called "rosette nanotubes" and built from a combination of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen, the new structures offer unique physical, chemical and electrical properties, the researchers said.
"The physical and chemical properties of our rosette nanotubes can now be modified almost at will through a novel dial-in approach," said Purdue professor Hicham Fenniri. The scheme "gives them the properties and biomimetic behaviors needed for specific applications," said Fenniri, who was assisted by fellow Purdue researchers Bo-Liang Deng and Alexander Ribbe.
This patented class of self-assembling organic structures is shaped with a hollow central interior channel that runs the length of the nanotube. Unlike carbon nanotubes, it has tunable inner and outer diameters. On the outside, smaller hollow channels are custom-tailored to harbor specific molecules useful for a given application.
Seed growth
Fenniri begins with a nanotube "seed" molecule, which self-assembles in water into tiny rings. Then the rings snap together into tubes that can be grown to any desired length. Self-assembly is accomplished by coding the edges of the rings so they can form bonds only with other rings in the correct orientation. Since the rosettes are hydrophobic (repelled by water) on the inside and hydrophilic (attracted to water) on the outside, they self-assemble by stacking into tubes in an attempt to protect their insides from water. The result is self-assembly operations that, by design, can occur in one, and only one, manner.
Fenniri previously demonstrated two seed molecules for electronics: one that grows conventional wires, for electricity, and one for growing photonic nanotubes that process light.
"We are optimistic that we can make many specialized nanotubes that are useful for a new generation of computer memory systems, high-definition displays, biosensors and drug delivery systems," said Fenniri.
The results confirm that not only is it possible to produce nanotubes of specific sizes, but also that a specific shape and composition can literally be made to order by including application-specific properties, such as for strength and electrical conductivity. To add strength, for instance, a nylon molecule could be hung on the outside hooks, in effect adding a tough insulator around nanoscale wires.
Since Fenniri's nanotubes catalyze their own formation, the addition of application-specific raw materials on their outsides can be done in a test tube. Then, by adjusting the temperature, pressure and other environmental factors, the nanotubes self-organize into the desired configuration.
One of the most interesting new capabilities harnessed by Fenniri's approach is the so-called "chiroptical" properties of nanotubes. Like DNA molecules, the rosette nanotubes can be grown in spiral configurations that match up with others t are similar. DNA spirals intertwine because they both twist in the same direction. However, unlike nature, Fenniri has found a way to make nanotubes spiral in either a left- or right-handed manner, permitting two different kinds of otherwise identical nanotubes.
"We tune the chiroptical properties of our nanotubes by controlling their supramolecular helicity," said Fenniri. "That is, we can make them turn left or right to varying degrees using external chemical inducers called promoters."
According to Fenniri, a promoter induces both dominant and recessive behaviors, just as in real DNA. The nanotube "prefers" to bind with a dominant promoter, but will express its recessive behavior if its promoter is in low concentration. Fenniri demonstrated two routes to building the same nanotube, the slow recessive route or the fast-track dominant route, which is called a "supramolecular chain reaction." Supramolecular chain reactions speed up the self-assembly process with an external trigger promoter.
Since their discovery in 1991, nanotubes have been demonstrated as a channel transistor at IBM Corp., as the electron emitter for microscopic vacuum tubes by Agere Systems Inc., and in fuel cell batteries that can power a laptop computer for days instead of hours by NEC Corp.
In addition to electronic circuitry, Fenniri claims nanotubes will find myriad new applications in fields ranging from disease treatment to plastics manufacturing to optical information storage.

, feels like the spiritual successor to Robotron as a top-down action roguelike. On the surface, you'll spend much of your time blasting, and being blasted by, many many robots. But under the simple running and gunning are layers of weapons, power-ups, difficulty adjustments, and a fine sheen of polish.

Synthetik revolves around you, an android programmed with human consciousness. You willbe duking it out against legions of robots to get to the top of the Kaida Corporation and stop the activation of the Heart of Armageddon , and thus, the destruction of humanity. If you'd prefer, you face the robots hordes with a friend in co-op mode. But l ike so many roguelikes before it, Synthetik gives you one life and you'll more than likely lose it with the amount of enemies and ordinance thrown your way.
And yet , I would say Synthetik is also one of the more accessible and player friendly roguelikes out there. Because while the overall challenge is rather high, Synthetik allows players to pick and choose a series of curses — modifiers to make the next playthrough more or less difficult. For example, you can forgo Synthetik's active reload system(ejecting spent magazines and reloading), and turn down the base difficulty. Or you can make your robot opponents stronger, faster, hit harder, and put penalties on your own firearms and movement. More curses translate to rarer weapons but with potent power-ups to compensate, along with more experience for permanent upgrades to your android's class type. It's a very welcome addition to a genre where the word challenging is often confused for punishing .

Combat is a combination of shooting and movement, and weapons in Synthetik come in a variety of pistols, shotguns, machine guns, rocket, and grenade launchers to start. Aiming is a big part of combat, as the circle around your target reticle expands when you move, or fire wildly, reducing your accuracy. Standing still for those precious few seconds and letting off a few measured bursts of fire means more accurate shots and the possibility of a critical hit.

Parkinson's resting tremor is related to altered cerebral activity in the basal ganglia and the cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit. Although Parkinson's disease is characterized by dopamine depletion in the basal ganglia, the dopaminergic basis of resting tremor remains unclear: dopaminergic medication reduces tremor in some patients, but many patients have a dopamine-resistant tremor. Using pharmacological functional magnetic resonance imaging, we test how a dopaminergic intervention influences the cerebral circuit involved in Parkinson's tremor. From a sample of 40 patients with Parkinson's disease, we selected 15 patients with a clearly tremor-dominant phenotype. We compared tremor-related activity and effective connectivity (using combined electromyography-functional magnetic resonance imaging) on two occasions: ON and OFF dopaminergic medication. Building on a recently developed cerebral model of Parkinson's tremor, we tested the effect of dopamine on cerebral activity associated with the onset of tremor episodes (in the basal ganglia) and with tremor amplitude (in the cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit). Dopaminergic medication reduced clinical resting tremor scores (mean 28%, range −12 to 68%). Furthermore, dopaminergic medication reduced tremor onset-related activity in the globus pallidus and tremor amplitude-related activity in the thalamic ventral intermediate nucleus. Network analyses using dynamic causal modelling showed that dopamine directly increased self-inhibition of the ventral intermediate nucleus, rather than indirectly influencing the cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit through the basal ganglia. Crucially, the magnitude of thalamic self-inhibition predicted the clinical dopamine response of tremor. Dopamine reduces resting tremor by potentiating inhibitory mechanisms in a cerebellar nucleus of the thalamus (ventral intermediate nucleus). This suggests that altered dopaminergic projections to the cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit have a role in Parkinson's tremor.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by bradykinesia, rigidity and a 4–6 Hz resting tremor. The pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease is nigro-striatal dopamine depletion ( Kish et al. , 1988 ). However, in contrast to bradykinesia and rigidity, the relation between tremor and dopamine (depletion) is unclear. For example, the response of tremor to dopaminergic medication varies greatly between patients, with some patients exhibiting a remarkable dopamine-resistant tremor ( Pogarell et al. , 2002 ; Fishman, 2008 ). Furthermore, unlike other motor symptoms, tremor does not correlate with striatal dopamine depletion ( Pirker, 2003 ). Instead, it has been suggested that resting tremor is linked to pallidal dopamine depletion ( Mounayar et al. , 2007 ; Helmich et al. , 2011 ) or to abnormalities in the noradrenergic ( Isaias et al. , 2011 ) and serotonergic systems ( Doder et al. , 2003 ; Qamhawi et al. , 2015 ). Here we aimed to resolve these discrepancies by investigating the cerebral mechanisms underlying the effect of dopaminergic medication on resting tremor in patients with Parkinson's disease.
If you have the C allele and suffer from insomnia how can you increase Adenosine levels in order to promote restful deep sleep??
It's a shame for people with insomnia that there isn't a supplement, that decreases ADA. This would do just the right think. I just reduced my coffee consumption (only until 2 pm) to jsut one small cup right after breakfast and the first to days …. damn… that felt kind of normal. Felt real good. Unfotunately this effect vanishes and leaves me at least as sleepless as I was before.
Theoretically, berberine does indeed do the trick (

Now that the Samsung Gear S3 has been released, the older Gear S2 is much cheaper. In many respects, we still prefer it over the much chunkier Gear S3, even if it does lack many of the sensors that will appeal to outdoor adventurers.
The Gear S2's 1.2-inch circular screen has a 360 × 360 resolution and uses AMOLED tech, making it one of the sharpest and most vibrant displays available on a smartwatch. The rotating bezel is also one of our favourite methods of interacting with a smartwatch, as it means your fingers don't obstruct the display.
Add to this solid two-day battery life and the Gear S2 becomes one of the best smartwatches around, at least from a hardware perspective.
Its only drawback is its use of Samsung's own Tizen OS.Tizen is a custom OS that's based on Linux. On paper it's pretty good, letting you pair the Gear S2 with any Android smartphone, not just Samsung Galaxy phones. But it's nowhere near as developed as Wear OS, which itself isn't perfect. There aren't nearly as many apps available as the Wear OS app store, but the core functionality is at least present from what is available.

If you're looking for a sports running watch that serves double duty as an Android Wear-powered smartwatch, take a serious look at the Polar M600.

Android Wear is the icing on the cake, meaning there's a good selection of apps and smartwatch functionality. The great news is that the Polar M600 is among the list of confirmed smartwatches receiving the Android Wear 2.0 update, too, so you won't feel left behind.

Jesus clearly knew Bethsaida well (Matt. 11:21). Early Christian travelers also knew the town, just north of the Sea of Galilee, which was home to Peter, Andrew and Philip (John 1:44) and, according to tradition, Zebedee and his sons. It was also scene of the feeding of the 5,000 according to Luke (9:10-17) and of Jesus' healing of a blind man (Mark 8:22-26).
In later centuries, when travel became difficult, this location was actually forgotten! Now, thanks to archaeology, Bethsaida has reopened its gates to visitors. Following the rediscovery of Capernaum, and more recently Korazim, Bethsaida is the last of the three towns of the "Evangelical Triangle" of Jesus' Galilee ministry to rejoin Christian itineraries.
Among the many treasures yielded by this 21-acre mound is a fisherman's house, identified by stone net-weights, an anchor, a fishhook and even a needle for repairing nets, which recall Bethsaida's fishermen disciples. And most thrilling of all: visitors can even walk a cobbled street from the time of Jesus.
Visitors can also learn Old Testament history here; Scholars tell us this was the capital of Geshur, the hometown of Maacah, wife of David's youth (2 Sam 3:3). Massive burned gates are evidence of the destruction of the north by the Assyrians in 732 BCE, as recorded in 2 Kings 18:10.
Bethsaida is a shaded spot with a wonderful view of the Sea of Galilee and natural-rock seats make a perfect locale for Bible study and prayer.

Dear applicant,
The [...] search committee has narrowed down the finalists. We received over one hundred applications for this position. The selection process was very competitive. Unfortunately, your application was not among them.
We wish you the best in your academic endeavors,
[some guy]
This is truly wonderful. My application was not among them. What was it not among? The competitive selection process? That doesn't make sense. The one hundred applications? No, it was; otherwise I wouldn't be receiving this PFO. The finalists. Yes. So you have to go three sentences back to find the antecedent for this pronoun. Nice writing.
And, naturally, this situation is something that has just happened to us. They didn't do anything, or anything. They were just sitting around, looking at the piles, and they noticed that my application was not among the finalists. And this is something they regard as unfortunate. That's good, at least.
--Mr. Zero

Here is what our own customers say about "The Booster"
I just received my shipment a few days ago and I was like a child a Christmas, I could not want to open the box. The products are awesome, and I can't wait to began to use them.

I can't wait to get my stickers! They put a smile on my face and I'm sure they will to others as well. Thank you Booster! Sarah Cho
Since I have started using the products I have noticed an increase in sales and bookings. I recently ran out of stickers and guess what ... those sales started going back down. That was enough to convince me. Alicia Butler AR
I love your stickers. I not only use them on my catalogs. I use them on my thank you cards I send to my customers.

It really makes a difference when I use your products! I need to get back into the 'swing' of things! 'Mitch' Belanger
I use these stickers (S40579 -- Why to buy SET)throughout my catalogs for catalog parties and have seen an increase in sales for the items I use them by! I've had many consultants with other direct sales companies comment on them and ask me where they could get them! They are awesome ... they can point out products to customers when I'm not there to do it! Lora -Onalaska, WI
I've talked to others about the Booster & they love it so I'm going to use it too. Thanks, Becky Becky Nicholds TX
THE RESULTS ARE IN! I began using the booster party plan sellers pack system (K-SUCCESS) a few months ago and collected the data from shows where I used the system and shows when I didn't use the system and the results speak for themselves! Show averages without the system: 8 buying guests with a show total sales of $500/show Show averages WITH the system: 9.5 buying guests with a show total sales of $642.77show When you do the math over multiple shows using the system - it adds up to BIG DOLLARS! Thank you! This system works great - I cannot wait to share my findings with my team. Note from Jenny- (I've done the math for you) Average increase in sales = $142.77 x 8 shows per month = $1142.16. Cost of Booster Products = approx $5 per show = 40. Profit at 25% = 285.54- $40 = $245.54 MORE money in YOUR pocket! (This does not count the increased exposure to your products, potential recruit leads, more hostesses etc!) Thanks Marlo for doing the test for us! Marlo Boux
I am so thrilled with your products! I have purchased the K-Success SIX Pack, random stickers, the 'pick-a-date' pack and buttons, but I must say the stickers are my absolute favorite! I put them on everything. My husband helps me put them on all of the invitations and when I explain what they are to the Hostesses they get really excited. By following the steps in your K-SUCCESS pack and divider system, my business is really starting to pick up and I am regaining my momentum. Using the stickers has really boosted the attendance at my parties. I finally joined the Key Pack Club, too, so I am looking forward to getting stickers automatically every month! Thanks so much! Tia Johns
My catalog would no longer be the same without Jenny B stickers all over it. I always include a booking, fundraising or bridal shower, customer service, and a few recruiting stickers on the front and back. I give key-pack sheets to my new consultants to get them started, and they also become 'hooked' on them, like I am! The postcards are always great to pass along to new consultants...and so convenient to give the new consultant postcard pack to get them going! Thanks for always keeping new ones coming! Maureen Thomas CA
I'm new to the Booster products but I love them all. I really love the divider system (V1003) to keep everything organized & neat. I even put the system in my Pampered Chef binder & share the idea with everyone. I love the little referral stickers you sent with my first order to pass out with my info on it. What a great idea to let others see the stickers before they buy & then after 5 people order I get rewarded too. I'm gonna share them with everyone I know in direct sales. I'm looking forward to buying other products. Thanks Jenny B. for helping others achieve more in their business. Becky Nicholds TX
Erase Boards-- I love love the "Recruit" and "Hosts Follow Up" erase boards. They help me keep everything organized and up to date. I really love everything The Booster has to offer...the stickers and postcards are great too! Thanks Jenny! Veronica Hobbie CA
10 Steps 4 Success I met Jenny at PartyLite national conference in St. Louis this past July08, I was so impressed with her true care & concern about every consultants success that I bought the 10 steps 4 success notebook... (K-Success) Boy am I ever glad I did, it so full of ideas, stickers and great info, You can't help but be SUCCESSFUL....THANKS JennyB. xoxoxoxox I share all about it w/everyone I know in direct sales... Donna Spitzer MD
I took the challenge! I met Jenny at a conference and decided to go ahead and buy the starter kit (The K-Success Six Pack)and used the 'system' on my postcards, catalogs, everything. Jenny promised me that my sales would double using this system and I can definitely say that they have been great. My sales average is over $600 a show and I am booking shows really well. I love the Booster products and I have been passing the catalogs and stickers along to my recruits and highly recommend using them to 'boost' their sales. Marlo Wiltse MI
I love The Key pack Club!!! My New Team Member made Fast Track and I wanted to Reward her, while at the same time giving her something that would help increase her Business. So I Opened The New Key pack I just Received in the mail and sent her several stickers, post cards, and Book Marks and a Button to Remind her she is a Star!!! I was able to make her feel Special for pennies on the Dollar !!! I also gave her ideas from the key pack to keep growing!!! Thank you Booster !!! Karen Church - IL
Building My Business! A Genie in a bottle! What a fabulous system for helping me to help myself! The stickers, folders and many ways to organize our customer knowledge, team building skills, and sales goals are like a genie in a bottle - state your wish and then let Booster help you see that dream come true. Innovative, well though-out, useful and motivating - feeling organized and proactive is half the accomplishment...seeing results from that is an added bonus. thank you. Mary-Ellen Feeney Australia
Rave Review on Stickers! I have been using stickers since I started my business and love how they add color and emphasis to my invitations, postcards, thank you's and catalogs. Thanks for making them a great tool and affordable. Maren Larson - Jackson, MN
Love ALL the bright, colorful stickers! I use them on every invitation, order sheets, and even my general mailings. I'm getting positive comments on them at my parties too. My favorite item is Booster Bingo! I am able to use MY products in the squares, which draws attention to those that I am detailing. I hand out a Bingo Card and 'Wish List' at the beginning of my presentation. This keeps my party guests 'on track' by paying attention to what I say, and what I'm showing. Thank You for so many fabulous ideas! Susan Schotten - Austin, CO
Fantastic! I LOVE all the wonderful tools that you have to offer and I also LOVE the fact that you can even make your own stickers to fit your needs if you don't see something in particular that you would like. (See the Printable Stickers) The Key packs are a wonderful tool in helping your business and they show what you can do with each and every sticker that comes with them!!!!!!! Mary Strassburg - Weston WI
Graphics more classy? Even though I use your stickers and have had a little success I would love to see the graphics of the postcards and other stationery updated. I find the purple & pink and cutesy illustrations not sophisticated enough for my business. How about pink/brown? Thanks Lucy, Good idea- the Pink and Brown- As for updating and a more sophisticated look- we've had that suggestion before and people have found the cutesy, more colorful graphics were MUCH more effective- therefore, most of the more classic designs are no longer available. So, I've let the effectiveness rule the day and "cutsie" wins many times over. To quote one of my most enthusiastic customers "This is so far out of my comfort zone --does it really work? (because she liked classy look) and then turned into a RAVING FAN saying her business has MORE than TRIPPLED! Luci Terhune Nutley NJ
Stickers, stickers and more stickers! I LOVE them! I have added them to all of my catalogs, to my Hostess packets and to all of my mailings. I use them to increase sales, to attract new Hostesses and to recruit new members to my team. The stickers really do make a difference! I recommend them to anyone who wants to increase their sales and recruitment without much added effort! Mary Gualtieri - Jamesville, NY
Finding 'The Booster' has been a real treasure. My business is relatively new to me and I often wanted to invite people to events and coach them to have effective parties, but didn't know exactly what to say. I spent a lot of time on this aspect of my business, but since finding the pre= printed postcards- writing to customers and hostesses is now a very automated and simple task. I can now spend more of my time on other parts of my business which saves me time and has made the postcards well worth what was spent for them. Thanks! Tracy Jenkins
Trip Buttons! I can't recommend enough wearing a trip button anywhere and everywhere! When our incentive trip to Paris was announced, I ordered 10 for myself and our team. The buttons actually performed two functions. They were a conversation starter with potential recruits AND they helped to keep me focused and on track. Since it says 'Come with me to Paris,' I HAD to make sure I earned it! I did and Paris was fabulous! As soon as our next trip to Punta Cana was announced, I ordered a batch for that trip, too. I'm still working on earning that one. Debbie Woolsey
I put your stickers EVERYWHERE!! Anyplace I think someone will notice something. I can tell them as much as I can, but when they see it, the bright colors, the fun lettering, then they notice it! Sometimes I forget to tell an important feature we offer - you can only say so much before you lose their attention - so I place stickers on the front of catalogs and inside Hostess Packets to make sure they have ALL the information they need! I LOVE stickers! They aren't just for kids anymore!! Cherie Lang NY
What can you say about Printable Stickers other than 'wow' - They make is so easy to give your business the 'boost' it needs. I use the stickers to tell people what my specialties are. My part-time business now gives me full-time pay. Thanks Jenny B! Nancy Salverino TX June 10, 2008
I have enjoyed great success with Booster products. I use 5 different stickers on each catalog and hostess packet, and have gotten compliments on how polished they look. I use Recruiting stickers on everything! When I mail out a Thank You Card, outside order, even when paying bills! They work, I have over 20 recruits! And with those recruits, I often use the motivational material I have gotten from The Booster. I give them bookmarks when they hit goals, give them a starter pack with a few sheets of stickers and other material when they sign on, and more! I actually got to meet Jenny two summers ago at our annual Tasteful Treasures workshop! I came away from her seminars with so much information on ways to boost my business I was ready to get out there and take my area by storm! It has been great since then! Thank you Jenny B and Booster staff for helping my business to grow! Amy Rose VA
I am an advisor for Lia Sophia & I have been using Jenny B. stickers since July 2007. I have had many comments on the stickers I use & have even had advisors with different companies ask me where I got them. I have noticed an increase in attendance at my shows when I use Jenny B. stickers. And love that I can plant a small recruiting seed even before I meet my customers! Thank you Jenny B.! Misty Bown - UT
I love the stickers and really think it catches the viewers eyes! I love all of the great ideas that the postcards and stickers give us. Thanks Jenny! YOU ARE AWESOME!! Chrissy Jacobs
My Unit and I were having a Bingo once a month so I wanted to spice it up so I ordered BINGO (V1004). We had a blast with the games. Then my daughter was planning her wedding and my sister her shower. I was asked to do a game. I did bingo and made a wedding shower theme. Everyone enjoyed the games. I recommend the BINGO game to everyone. Marie Knutzen CA
I have ordered your stickers to boost sales and bookings and let me tell you, its working like a charm! I even ordered a button to wear during my parties! I put stickers on the back of my business cards too to let people know what I offer. Like catalog parties and bridal showers and all that. I LOVE your stickers and buttons!! I also add them to my catalogs to let people know what has been discontinued or what they can get free. Its great!! They have helped me so much! Thanks! Tiffany Temple PA
WOW! I'm #3 in sales! WOW! WOW! WOW! I can't find another word to explain how happy I am being a Jenny B. customer!! I got a strip of stickers when I became a consultant for Temptations Parties in Jan. 2008. I thought 'oh these are cute'. I flipped through the catalog and really liked some of the things a I saw, but didn't think I needed any of it. Well after a while I thought it couldn't hurt to try some of the products. I saw a difference right away. So I bought the System Dividers to help organize my stickers, I didn't realize what a business booster they would be. So now I'm a member of the Key Pack Club. And because of all the help from my Booster products I was #3 in sales for the month of May!! THANK YOU JENNY B.!!!!!! Amanda Lula IN
I use the stickers on everything!! Invites, catalogs, hostess packets etc etc. They really attract attention and my customers ask more questions when they see them!! I love how fun they make things look!! Kelly Wemp WA
Well, I have read all the testimonials on how these products have 'boosted' others sales. AND, I have to say, I think it is working for me TOO! I have been using stickers on all my invites and in my catalogs for several months now, and ironically, my average guets order has gone from about $40-50 per guest....to about $70!! I am very impressed!! Michelle, Beaverton, OR
My guests LOVE doing auction parties! The excitement is sky high at the beginning of the show and just keeps building as they earn bucks during the show by asking my questions about my business or telling what they love about certain products demo'd in the show. Auction parties have also boosted my bookings because the guests have so much fun at their first party that they want to have one of their own! Thanks so much for this great idea! Sandi Watters UT
I used to print my own stickers to put on catalogs and order forms for my customers to get their attention about specials and new items. I didn't like how they would 'bleed' if they got wet or fade over time. I was given a 'Booster' pack and was made aware of all the bright durable eye catching stickers and other promo items!! I am hooked...I just have to decide which ones to get because there are so many!!! I have put items in my shopping basket for later but heard about the computer crash...oh, darn now I have to pick them out again. Who doesn't like to shop!!! I can't wait til I place an order now! Thanks Melodie Ustich IL
I am a Lia Sophia Jewelry advisor and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the products. You have so many just for what I need. My customers love all the neat stickers and postcards I use. And they love BINGO. Jenny B, I don't know what I would do without you. Thanks Jenny B you ROCK!!!! Tonya Shaffer Ohio
I recently started using your stickers on all my invitations, as well as the preprinted Hostess Coaching cards. They save me time and have such a colorful presentation. I do believe the stickers help draw attention to the invite and I can tell everyone about the business opportunity, not just those attending. I use the RSVP on Everything! Above all, I am so delighted with the Bingo Game! (V1004) I am able to enter the products that I show...it makes the guests pay attention to my presentation, and they will often ask about a product (before I present it) just to get the Bingo square. Thank You. I LOVE our products! Susan Schotten - Austin, CO
I love, love, love using your stickers! Not only are the affordable but they work! I give the variety sheets (SSS4) to my new team members to get started! They love them!! Using stickers & Jenny's ideas has really helped my business grow! Thanks Ann Marie Rubertone - FL
I am one month in to my new business. I received 'Party on a Sheet' (SSS4) Business Booster Stickers at a training last week end and have put them in my catalogs - the response has been wonderful !!! I booked shows with the addition of the eye catching stickers. Thanks for helping me build my business. Deborah LIPCHEY Marienville,PA
If anyone had asked me what part of my business I needed to improve, the answer would have been organization. I bought the 'K-Success SIX Pack' and have already seen an improvement in my organization. The Party/Show Checklist helps me keep on track with what I need to be doing for every show. It's so easy to use! The pen pal stickers are awesome and the training is incredible. There is so much packed into the binder I can't even say which item is my favorite! It's all so helpful! The bright colors and fun sayings help motivate me and staying organized for success isn't such a chore anymore. Thank you from one Jenny B to another for taking the time to explain it all to me!! Jen Burger - Falcon, CO
Jenny B Stickers will change your business... I have been using Jenny B stickers for a little over a year now. I have the full binder of stickers and I use them all! Stickers go in my catalogs, on my invitations, in my hostess packets, and on my recruiting folders. I mail post cards to potential recruits, Hostesses, and customers when they show an interest in my business. I won the company trip to Hawaii last year and I don't think I would have done so well with my sales and recruiting if it were not for the stickers I put on my invitations. Ann Langdon - Tucson, AZ
Here's an example of what the 'bring a friend' sticker has done for me. I place these stickers on EVERY invitation I send. At the end of a show a guest told me she had come with her mom because of the sticker that said her mom would get a free gift. She booked a show and asked me about my business. I gave her a recruiting packet to go home and review. She called me 3 days later and signed up! She was so excited she did not even wait for her show to her starter case! She has continually been in the top 1 or 2 in sales and has even beat my Division manager in sales! OH and did I mention that the first thing she did was order her Jenny B stickers for her invitations! She knows the value! Just think, if I had not put that sticker on that invitation she would not have come and I would have never signed up this great recruit! You just never know what a sticker could do for you but, I can guarantee you that ONE sticker has paid for EVERY Jenny B item I have ever bought and then some! Thank you Jenny B! I would not be where I am today without you! Ann Langdon - Tucson, AZ
POSTCARDS!! I just love the postcards and new stickers that I purchased at conference!! The items were recommended at a meeting and what an improvement on my show!! I send out postcards to all future hostesses and it works out great!! Lori Sahanas - Wanaque NJ
Actually you rate 5++++ stars! I love the positive fun filled messages of the stickers - they say everything that I want to with so much enthusiasm without being offending or threatening! Who wouldn't want to book a show or join my team after reading the stickers and who wouldn't be intrigued enough to find out how to get the 'free' stuff? I love them. I purchased quite a few pages at the conference and plan on using them on all of my new books when they arrive - also on the books going out of season because I will place them in businesses now, with the stickers on them also. Thanks Boosters! You really give me a boost! :) Judy - Watkins, MN
Keypack.... I am truly blessed to have listened to the person who mentioned thebooster.com! I browsed through the website and was overwhelmed at first with all the information available. I finally got the courage and called The Booster and was immediately comforted with a knowledgeable customer service representative. I decided to become a Keypack club member and start off with ordering additional items from the basics listed on the party checklist. I must say that I have been following the 4 stickers on the invitation and it has increased my attendance, gotten the guests there ontime (which was a huge problem in my business!), many guests brought a friend, and ultimately has increased party sales!! I am very HAPPY with the results and can't stop sharing it with my team and other direct selling associates!!! Thank you! Kat Quarterman - Hainesport, NJ
I love Jenny B Stickers and even more, the post cards!! It saves me time and ink and Money when I order from this site! I have also been given great idea to use to make my business as a Home & Garden Party Designer, very successful! Thank you Jenny B! Brandy - El Cajon, CA
Attendance Stickers I am a Slumber Parties distributor and I have to admit adding the stickers to the back of my invitations has helped increase attendance. I have more people showing up to my parties and it's amazing!!! I am looking forward to placing my next order so that I can increase my recruiting efforts as well. Thank You so much to the Booster! Jenny B is truly AMAZING!!! TIffaney Kelley - Coppell, TX
S43049 Bring ___ Outside Orders Stickers: WOW, these stickers really work. I put the 'Bring ___ in outside orders' stickers (S40349) on all 7 invitations (The hostess only gave me 7 names!) I filled in the amount for $20! TWO people brought orders one for $20 and one for $100! Total party was over $350 and I booked two more shows! I'm going to use these stickers more often! Candice Anderson - Hyrum, UT
My wife LOVES your stickers! Since she used your stickers and been on your website learning more, her business is just BOOMING!!!! Thanks Jenny for such a great website Todd Tucker - Dover, NH
After purchasing a load of stickers to boost my business, I have noticed an unbelievable amount of change in the attendance numbers of my parties! I also have the hostess call the night before her party to tell the guests that if they have a sticker on their invitation, it means an extra entry is given for the drawing! They LOVE that, and it gets them to come to the party because they have better luck at winning! Taryn Bennett - Elkhart, IN
I just love the Booster, I have been using Booster products for 20 years at least. What I have found very useful lately is putting 2-3 'Girls Night Out' stickers on the postcards I send out to the guests for my Hostesses. I have the Hostess call about 3 days prior and tell her to have everyone bring their Postcard with them to the party. This way she calls all her guests so no one is left out. She tells them to bring their postcard with them because the advisor says there are some special ones out there. They don't know that everyone didn't get a sticker on theirs. When everyone arrives we look at the postcards and see who has the stickers. They all get a prize. This really has 'Boosted' the attendance at my shows. Thank you so much for all your products Karen Johnson - Brooksville, FL
Stickers Boosted my business! I had a large increase in my Avon sales this year. When asked how I did that, I realized that I had really been using lots of stickers. And on the Avon brochures, the word 'AVON' has the letter 'o' that is exactly the size of the round stickers you sell. I let my customers know I take credit cards, they can shop at my website, I offer job opportunities, and more. Thank you for stickers that say exactly what I need! Nancy Buttry - Poplar Bluff, MO
I REALLY have increased my business!!! WOW! I have to say I totally agree with the comments from others that your products really do increase your business. After meeting you guys at our conference in St Louis I took your catalog home and just loved seeing all the products and learning new ideas for my business. Since my business started to take off my leader Christina asked me to share about what I am doing at our next workshop. Well our workshop was last night and I shared that I had purchased the "K-Success SIX Pack" and provided copies of what I was doing with the products I received. I told them I was using 4 stickers on every invite and the pen flags and numerous other items. I also told them all if they use my name when they place an order that I would get a referral bonus of 20.00 in products for every 5 referrals. I am telling you that I have been so excited about the products that my leader Christina thought maybe I had gone into business for your company also!!! Keep up the great work and the wonderful customer service that you provide!!! PS I will be purchasing more products soon!!! Holly Jackson - Ojai, CA
I received my order today - my first from you - very pleased and I will be ordering again - Thank you very much. Deborah Lipchey
I really like my "Host Follow Up Erase board (EB2128)!! This helps me keep track of what's going on with my home business while I also have my full time job. With just a glance this board is great for helping me keep track of what I have done for each of my hostesses. Angie (A customer)
I enrolled in the Key Pack Club and all I can say is....WOW!!! The divider system (V1003) is absolutely outstanding in keeping me organized and on top of everything with my business! I am a mother of two and desperately needed the organization that these dividers have given me. I actually thought I was pretty organized to begin with until I started using these dividers. Boy, was I ever wrong! I don't know how I ever got along without them! These dividers have made my life so much more easier and I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!!! Thanks a million! Helen Askins
I LOVE adding stickers to everything - books, order forms, Hostess Packets. It really brings attention to the things I want to say, and it has increased my business tremendously. LOVE LOVE LOVE your "crazy crew". They are so helpful - and of course we love YOU Jenny. Thank you for helping us be so successful in everything we do. I can help you Change a room - or CHANGE YOUR LIFE! God Bless, Wendy Stevens
I absolutely love the new web site!! I am looking forward to receiving my order. Great job Jenny! Deb Hooper Corning, NY
I received my Making Your Connections Count book last week and read it cover to cover. I have to say I absolutely LOVED your chapter the best! I never realized until I started using your stickers just what a difference it can make. When I read your personal inscription (I'm an author too and can appreciate that), and saw the stickers you took the time to place in there, it finally sunk in. I was grinning from ear to ear the whole time I read your chapter. Thanks for making me feel so special. And thanks for sharing all you do with us! :D Michelle McCorkle

Video: Emmy fashion: Hits and misses
Transcript of: Emmy fashion: Hits and misses
ANN CURRY, co-host: This morning on TODAY AT THE EMMYS , the all-important fashions. So who sizzled and who fizzled? Our national correspondent Natalie Morales is in Los Angeles with more on this. Natalie , good morning.
NATALIE MORALES reporting: Good morning to you, Ann. Yeah, a lot of sizzle here on the red carpet and fittingly, too. It was amazing, the stars sure came out to play last night. A breakout year for hits on TV , but also right here on the red carpet .
Ms. LEA MICHELE: It's Oscar de la Renta . My jewelry is Lorraine Schwartz . And it's the perfect party dress.
Ms. HEIDI KLUM: I'm wearing Marchesa .
MORALES: Beautiful.
Ms. KLUM: I love this short, glitzy number.
Ms. BETTY WHITE: It's an old off-the-rack things that was in the back of my closet, so I thought my not?
MORALES: Is it nice to break out of the Adidas track suit week after week?
Ms. JANE LYNCH: I have to tell you, going into my trailer every day knowing that I'm going to put something on that is so comfortable is a lovely thing.
MORALES: Wowie , what a dress.
Ms. CHRISTINA HENDRICKS: Thank you.
MORALES: You look great.
Ms. HENDRICKS: Thank you.
MORALES: How much does that weigh, that dress?
Ms. RITA WILSON: Actually, not that much.
MORALES: No?
Ms. WILSON: It's like an apron.
MORALES: What were you going for?
Ms. EDIE FALCO: Comfort.
Ms. JULIE BOWEN: Apparently navy is quite the color of the evening.
MORALES: I've heard that.
Ms. BOWEN: Oh, and look at January. Looks like a bird in a cage. Like a beautiful peacock.
MORALES: I hear you're a big fan of the TODAY show , right?
Ms. SARAH WILLIAMS: I am.
Mr. JOEL McHALE: We watch it every morning.
MORALES: Who designed this great suit? It fits you just right.
Mr. MATTHEW PERRY: Prada .
MORALES: Prada .
Mr. PERRY: But not the Prada . Just some guy, Steve Prada .
Mr. STEVE CARELL: You know what, I just have a nicely fresh tux hanging in the closet at all times just in case.
Mr. NEIL PATRICK HARRIS: I'm nominated again, yet again. More chances to lose.
Ms. ANGELA KINSEY: Do you have your Spanx on? What?
Mr. BRIAN BAUMGARTNER: Yeah, you know it.
MORALES: Is that a man? A Manx.
Mr. BAUMGARTNER: You know, I don't even know.
Ms. KINSEY: Manx. They have them now.
MORALES: The Manx , man's best accessory. Ann , you know, I'm not a fashion expert here, but I have to say overall I think for the most part most of the stars got it right this year. Although there are some, and Bobbie Thomas will tell us, who probably could have used a little more help.
CURRY: Oh, OK. Well, you've got Bobbie sitting right there. Bobbie , good morning to you as well.
MORALES: Yes.
CURRY: And so let's talk about, first of all...
Ms. BOBBIE THOMAS: Good morning.
CURRY: ...the good news. Your favorite looks. And I understand both you and Natalie on who really took the big award for that, and that "Glee" star Lea Michele?
Ms. THOMAS: Oh, she was beautiful , stunning in the color of the night, navy. The silk taffeta Oscar de la Renta was gorgeous. It was still fresh and young, even though it was sophisticated. She was on trend with her Lorraine Schwartz collar necklace. Perfection. Loved it.
MORALES: And everything. Her makeup, her hair, it just did -- it was very suiting and very, you know, just perfect for her.
Ms. THOMAS: Really great.
MORALES: And she just glowed.
Ms. THOMAS: She was the belle of the ball. You know, with "Glee" really being a big show , this was a great night for her to step up.
MORALES: Absolutely.
CURRY: And when it came -- comes to pushing fashion boundaries, who did you two like?
MORALES: Well, I have to say, and I think this was a look that you either loved or hated, and up close January Jones , she was wearing a beautiful Versace . I think it was beautiful because it was a very -- it had the wow factor, this blue and very fitted silhouette. It was sort of channeling her Betty Draper but yet also with a little more edge. As Bobbie says, her alter ego, Betty Draper .
Ms. THOMAS: This was -- this was definitely something people were buzzing about online. I was tweeting for our Web site live during the show and a lot of viewers thought, oh, this is not my favorite, but it's entertaining to see something. We got to see this dress. It was really kind of like Natalie said, a wow factor, her alter ego.
MORALES: It definitely had the wow factor. Now one thing, I thought the hair looked not as polished as it could, and her makeup as well.
Ms. THOMAS: Yeah.
MORALES: But she's a gorgeous woman and she could pull anything off.
Ms. THOMAS: But another risk-taker in a similar silhouette was Anna Paquin , the newlywed from " True Blood " who stepped out in Alexander McQueen . She's the first person to wear Alexander McQueen from the spring collection, which is kind of a big deal in the fashion world. She was really dark and regal, which was fitting for her character and I think all the " True Blood " fans were very excited to see her and Stephen , her new husband, in Alexander McQueen .
CURRY: Oh, I love that dress. I think it's stunning.
MORALES: Some body armor there.
CURRY: And she's got the body to wear it.
Ms. THOMAS: Stunning. I loved it.
CURRY: Now what about -- I understand, now, Natalie , you were talking earlier about controversy. What do you guys want to say in terms of who was not on your top list?
MORALES: Who did you not love, Bobbie ?
Ms. THOMAS: You know, I love Lauren Graham , but I did not love the silhouette...
MORALES: Yes.
Ms. THOMAS: ...on her Yigal Azrouel dress. I thought it was a little shapeless and it didn't really flatter her frame as much as it could have. I really love her , but this was not my favorite look on her. I also though Sofia Vergara , who has the most amazing body, kind of was overwhelmed by the details in her Carolina Herrera . It was such -- you know, she's such a beautiful star. I just thought that this wasn't her best look.
MORALES: Mm-hmm.
Ms. THOMAS: So those are kind of my picks.
MORALES: It's a very beautiful color, the canary yellow. I think on her skin tone, too, a brighter color probably would have...
Ms. THOMAS: Yeah, it's just a lot.
MORALES: ...brought out more.
Ms. THOMAS: The hair, the detailing, it was a lot. And then Rutina Wesley from " True Blood " had a black and white print dress on that I think is a -- is a really good tip for all of us at home when you have that much fabric in a print you got to be careful.
CURRY: All right, OK, you guys. Well, it looks like it was fun, though. I thought -- I think everybody just looked so beautiful and looks like you guys had fun, too. Natalie Morales and Bobbie Thomas , thanks so much this morning.

Our favorite posts are those that inspire our readers to go out and find new random oddness, and our previous bit on Peel did just that. Intrepid loyalist Alex hunted down a fully-awesome Peel Trident video, which we can in no way, shape or form front on. It's as if Big Daddy Roth designed the Isetta. Oh holy crap; there were maybe only 50 of these made, max, but somebody, somewhere needs to find one and stuff a Hayabusa motor in there. This simply has to happen. No ifs, ands or buts.

The APRS protocol has been adapted and extended to support projects not directly related to its original purpose. Here are a few of the most notable ones projects.
FireNet is an Internet-based system using the APRS protocol and much of the same client software to provide fire fighting, earthquake, and weather information in much higher volume and detail than the traditional APRS system is capable of carrying.
D-STAR Position Reporting System (D-PRS) utilizes the low-speed data stream of the D-STAR digital voice mode to transmit GPS NMEA sentences.
PropNET uses the APRS protocol over AX.25 and PSK31 to study radio frequency propagation. PropNET 'probes' transmit position reports, along with information on transmitter power, elevation, and antenna gain, at various frequencies to allow monitoring stations to detect changes in propagation conditions.

It is next to impossible for
an impatient player to become a success at turf speculation. This is due to the
fact that so few races on the day's card offer the investor a real opportunity
to cash a wager. Most of the races carded every day defy the skill of even the
most experienced selectors. To put it bluntly, most races are nothing more than
guessing games.
Therefore, the individual
who is unable to wait for suitable betting spots is doomed to the ranks of
losers before they start. The old truism, "horses don't beat the
players, the players beat themselves" contains more than just a grain
of truth. Ninety percent of all chronic losers beat themselves because they
undertake the impossible.
We are aware that many fans
do not have the time necessary for detailed, careful handicapping. But this
lack of time is no reason why they should be doomed to failure, provided they
have the patience to wait for certain races and certain types of selections.
From time to time over the
past 40 years, we have pointed out in American Turf Monthly that angle
handicapping can be used to advantage by anyone who can read and understand a
past performance block. Some of our articles have been devoted to this type of
analysis. Over the years, we have discussed and explained more than 20 angles
which can be employed successfully for selecting good-priced winners.
We stress good prices
because: 1) if you can beat the price, you can beat the races and, 2) no matter
how proficient one may become in this endeavor, they will always select more
losers than winners. Therefore, we cannot afford to back short-priced
What is a good price?
Certainly nothing less than 4-1, because it requires a price of this amount to
overcome the inevitable losers. This statement is based on the fact that if the
winning percentage is no higher than 25 percent, one must receive an average of
at least 4-1 to break even.
Breaking even is not
profitable, of course, but it is better than losing continually. Moreover, a
good angle will produce winners with average prices much higher than 4-1.
Here, we wish to point out
that no angle, no matter how good it may be, can keep the player in the black
if they insist on piddling away the angle profits on horses which do not
In order to profit from the
use of a good angle or two, one must be prepared to wait for proper selections
and must not waste profits on horses which do not meet every stipulation of the
angle (or angles) they are using.
Further, one should never
forget that the presence of a good angle in a horses" chart does not
necessarily make the horse a good wager. This is due to the fact that some
horses are not really good racing or betting tools.
How can one distinguish
between a profitable horse and one that is unprofitable? Simply by observing its
earnings record. Any horse today that can't average purse money of $12,500 or
more per year is not a horse that is truly a profitable racing tool. Like
everything else, the cost of shipping, feeding and caring for a race horse has
almost doubled within the past 10 years.
But equally important is the
fact that horses which do not earn more than their bare keep are pretty poor
competitors. And poor competitors are poor wagers. When one risks their money
on the outcome of a race, they certainly should do it on horses which they know
are profitable for their owners.
Racing fans who recognize
this fact often assume that the number of times a horse has won as compared to
its number of starts will separate the wheat from the chaff. Unfortunately,
this is not always true.
Purse amounts vary from
track to track, and even from race to race. The point to remember is that the
higher the class of the race, the greater the purse.
Our angle this month is
based on four major factors:
1) The horse must have
turned in a good race in its third race back, finishing within two lengths of
the winner, in a race that was run no more than 50 days ago.
2) The winner's time for
the angle horse's last race must have been as fast as or faster than the
winner's time for the third race back. Thus only horses which competed at the
same distance in their third race back and last race will be eligible for
3) The horse must have
displayed early speed for at least a half mile last start, or it must have
closed ground from the pre-stretch call to the finish, finishing out of the
money, and this last race must have been run within the past 21 days.
4) The horse must be the
only qualified play in the race.
5) The horse should go
off today at 4-1 or more.
One question may arise for
fans in future plays. What if a qualified horse is running today at a distance
that is not the same as the distance of the races on which it qualified? In
such cases, we would only take the angle horse if it showed a win in its past
performances at today's distance.
In closing, let us remind
you of what we said about the importance of patience. Without it one, has very
little chance of winning consistently. You actually need only three or four
good winners a week to keep you way out in front and you can get them if you'll
wait for the right openings.

Business Property Taxes
The property tax is a tax on the market value of privately owned property, including land, cars, business inventory, etc. Although the property tax is the principal source of revenue for localities, broad consensus has not been reached on the basic issue of whether property taxes are regressive, proportional or progressive. Property tax liability is calculated by multiplying the nominal property tax rate by the assessment ratio (the percentage of the value of the property that is taxed) by the value of the property.

Our newest line of subwoofers are designed to provide wider installation options for a brange of vehicles. These "Shallow-Mount" Subwoofers feature multiple patent-pending features to deliver the big bass performance of a full-size subwoofer, but in a compact design that can be installed either behind or under seats depending on the type of vehicle. The mounting depth is just 2-1/2" - less than half a typical subwoofer in this class.
This 8" shallow subwoofer handles 500 watts max., 120 watts nominal power, and delivers deep bass with top-notch sound quality thanks to features like Pioneer's extremely strong and lightweight IMPP Composite Double Cone Woofer, the patent-pending M-shaped Surround, and more.
One of the new patent-pending features is called the "Air Suspension Control System". This design locks in air between the main cone and drive cone, ensuring smoother and more precise movement of the cones, for superior linearity. The locked-in air behaves like a spring, so there's no need for a traditional spider structure. The drive cone also deflects air pressure inside the enclosure, which further contributes to the remarkable bass of the small package.
