The community-oriented event is part of a national effort to heighten public crime prevention awareness, encourage participation in anti-crime programs, and to strengthen neighborhood spirit and police and community relationships. It's an especially good opportunity for children to get to know their local police officers.
The event is intended to send the message to criminals that the neighborhood is organized, united, and fighting back. Community groups, businesses, and local public officials joined in as sponsors of the three-hour event.
Community Affairs officers from the 104th Precinct distributed brochures and explained crime prevention programs on how to protect their homes, businesses, and identities, as well as their cars and computers against theft.
The important safety message was delivered in a fair-like atmosphere with numerous activities including paddlestick jousting, an inflated jump-bounce castle, a water slide, make-up artists painting hands and faces, and custom-made balloons.
Attendees also enjoyed a Taekwondo demonstrations and a dance competition with winners receiving a travel holiday prize for excelling in "rhythmic competence." Food and drinks were complimentary.
Marta Cartio of Ridgewood and her five children were enjoying the program.
"My husband comes here to play with the kids," she said. "They all like the water activity the best."
Mabio Nagib from Glendale brought his two children to the event. At the free franks stand, he commented, "We're all having a really good time thanks to the 104th Precinct."
Community members had the opportunity to learn about and sign up for the Auxiliary Police Program, Glendale Civilian Observation Patrol (G-COP), and for teenagers, the Law Enforcement Explorers and Auxiliary Police programs.
Louis Kirchtessner, president of the 104th Precinct Civilian Observation Patrol, dispensed brochures and recruitment information at his table.
"We invite the public to join our automobile patrols that go out two or three times a week for about three or four evening hours," he explained. "We fan out across Ridgewood, Glendale, Maspeth, and Middle Village and alert the 104th to something in progress, such as a burglary, mugging, or acts of vandalism."
Currently, the group has 75 active members, and volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
"The more the community knows of our security and watchful presence, the better," Kirchgessner added.
"Two weeks ago," he said, "with helicopters overhead, we helped search the whole 104th for a missing elderly person with Alzheimer's. Two days later, he came home by himself in a cab. He left home without telling anyone that he went to visit a friend."
Open to 14 to 21 year olds, the career-oriented 104th Precinct Law Enforcement Explorers Program gives youngsters an insight into police work while developing their personal skills via many hands-on training and positive youth activity projects. In the process, members gain self-discipline and self-confidence.
Dressed in a smart, blue uniform, 18-year-old Sergeant Stephanie Reynoso explained why she joined four years ago.
"I really like it," she said. "We help the police and the community on our foot and car patrols with the Youth Services Officer, who teaches us law enforcement procedures. There's also community events like helping kids with reading at the library, trips, competitions, and sports activities.
"The program helps develop character, responsibility and a sense of duty to the community," she continued. "We do military-like drills, learn the value of discipline, and how to act around people."
Officer Robert Rosado of the 104th Auxiliary Police is a retired Corrections officer who's been a member for a year-and-a-half. He joins a two-person foot patrol in Ridgewood and Glendale on Saturdays to help make the community safer.
"Our objective is to show an omnipresence," he explained, "because when people see our blue uniforms, they feel more secure."
The patrol radios back to the 104th Precinct anything out of order happening, from car accidents to street arguments, he explained
Auxiliary police carry handcuffs and can make civilian arrests, but take action only up to the point where their safety may be in doubt. In an argument, for example, they try to calm people down until an officer arrives. Spotting graffiti vandalism in progress, the auxiliary police can discreetly intervene, but most likely would alert a squad car to take action.
Why should someone join the Auxiliary Police?
"It's a good first step for a young person interested in a law enforcement career," Rosado said. "It's good for your resume while you are familiarizing yourself with the various aspects of police work."
Since 1984 "National Night Out — America's Night Out Against Crime" has grown to involve over 37 million people from more than 15,000 communities nationwide and in Canada.

Piety, Independence, Desire is a series of works generated from Hurricane Katrina salvaged windowpanes and liquid emulsion photography applied directly to the glass within. Reclaimed from trash piles in New Orleans after Katrina, the windowpanes frame photographs and documents from the artist's family archive, dating to the 1800's in the crescent city and its surroundings. The cracked, worn and water damaged windowpanes create a narrative of imperfect memories, dusted off after years of neglect. The interplay of framing and imagery create divisions between the subjects, emphasizing the geographic and familial separations experienced in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. While giving new life to uncovered images of my family, an air of discord and loss surrounds the work and suggests the struggle to reclaim history and to preserve developing genealogies. Conceived initially as a response to my family's experience with Hurricane Katrina, the work has evolved into an exploration of lineage and memory, carried out by employing the archive as form, medium, identity, legacy and its relationship to meditations on time.

Louis Vuitton Noe BB Damier Azur Replica Handbag ReviewCategories:Louis Vuitton
It's summer and this is the perfect time for wearing a backpack style handbag such as the Louis Vuitton Noe BB purse. This bag is perfect for casual days in the city or spectacular moments on a perfect holiday. Even though its size is pretty small, it is a very spacious and functional LV purse. As soon as I realized this I knew that I must have one so I ordered a Louis Vuitton Noe BB Damier Azur replica bag online. The knockoff came in the mail last week and since then I have been wearing it daily. Until now I can honestly say that I adore this LV handbag.
I like the fact that it is not flimsy and light as most Louis Vuitton replica handbags. It is made from a sturdy and thick canvas that feels very authentic and durable. This very good quality canvas allows the bag to stand tall even when it is empty. It doesn't bent or make any creases. This is how an actual LV bag keeps its shape when it isn't filled. Low quality replica purses do not maintain their shape so it is very important to check the quality of the canvas before you submit the order.
Another thing you should check closely at a Louis Vuitton Noe BB Damier Azur replica handbag are the trimmings. The authentic purse has a brown seal on the sides of the cowhide trimmings so this is what you want to find on your fake LV. The low quality knockoffs have a red lacquer finish on the edges. This was used many years ago on the old styles of authentic Louis Vuitton bags.
A Louis Vuitton Noe BB Damier Azur replica handbag should have a yellow gold hardware and each metallic piece should have the brand's name or logo engraved. This version of the LV Noe BB comes with beige leather on the belt, upper side, bottom and outer sides. Basically, where's a trim there is a strip of leather. The closing system of this purse is represented by a smooth string that you pull to close the bag. And do not forget to check the stitching of the Noe BB LV fake bag. This should be even, straight, without any loose threads and in a discrete yellow, not in a bright one as the poor quality replicas usually have.
The inside of the Louis Vuitton Noe BB Damier Azur replica handbag is as simple as it gets. There are no compartments, no flashy pockets, tags or lining. Just like the authentic purse is.

Replica Handbag Review: Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 Damier AzurCategories:Louis Vuitton
LV Speedy 30 Damier Azur is one of my favorite bags in the world. It is beautiful, easy to accessorize to any outfit and very comfortable to wear. I know that a lot of celebrities that are big fans of this gorgeous purse, people like Hilary Duff or even Jessica Simpson. I have always wanted to buy one but as you already know this kind of products are pretty expensive and exceed my budget. Fortunately I know a reputable replica website that sells very good quality Speedy 30 Damier Azur replicas. This way I was able to achieve this simple and beautiful model for myself.
I have purchased this amazing bag from PurseValley.cn and it seems it has been a wonderful choice. I have not regretted one second or penny buying this gorgeous piece of art. It is a perfect copy of the genuine LV Speedy 30 Damier Azur. The materials used for this fake Speedy 30 Damier Azur have a very good quality; the coating is the very well-known Damier Azur canvas. The "Louis Vuitton Paris" security markings are embossed in the very specific squares exactly like on the original model. There is absolutely no difference about the material or the engravings that can make one think this is not a genuine bag. The purse has two very nice handles made out of very good quality sturdy leather that allows them to stand on their own. The stitching on the handles is perfectly even and it makes the handles even more resistant and beautiful. For extra security for my goods this bag comes with a padlock, which makes me love it even more, if this is possible. About the inside of this superb purse I can say that it has a classic beige canvas lining, exactly like the original Damier Azur has, and of course there is the "Louis Vuitton Paris Made in France" authenticity mark embossed. The tag with the serial number is also present. I am absolutely amazed of how perfect this model was replicated. If I may say this looks incredibly genuine.
When it comes to the hardware of this Speedy 30 Damier Azur replica I only have nice words to say. The manufacturer used the finest materials and every single metal part on this bag has been stamped with the LV authenticity markings just like the original purse has. The brass trimmings are very nice polished and perfectly engraved with the LV distinguish markings, there is absolutely no difference between this model I am presenting here and the original LV bag. If this was not enough I can tell you that there is more, the zipper. It is a perfect reproduction of the genuine hardware and it has the original Louis Vuitton engraved polished brass padlock. This part has been perfectly replicated too and I must say I can see no difference from the original model. The thing that really amazed me and made me think that maybe there was committed an error and I have by mistake received an original Speedy 30 Damier Azur instead of the replica I have been ordered was the fact that this model I bought online came with authenticity papers too. Exactly like I have bought the real one, I have received a Louis Vuitton care booklet, authenticity card, LV receipt, Louis Vuitton tag and the Louis Vuitton dust bag. But it not the genuine one, it is a replica, but it is a very good one, a perfect one I might say.
There is absolutely nothing bad I can say about this particular model. I am quite in love with it. It has the correct materials, superior quality, it has all the correct markings and engravings, it has the correct colors and stitching, it comes with authenticity papers and tags and it can be worn almost daily for work or outside for lunch or dinner. I really am very happy with my purchase, and I really recommend this company for this model or any other model you might find interesting of their web site. I will definitely buy more from but I have not decided yet what will be the next model. When I'll get it you can be sure you'll be the first to know what it was.

Speedy 30 Damier Azur ReplicaCategories:Louis Vuitton
The classic LV Speedy 30 Damier Azur has always been one of my favorite bags. Many celebrities such as Hilary Duff, Lo Bosworth and Jessica Simpson are huge fans of this very fabulous handbag. It is a very beautiful design, very practical and very easy to match with your everyday outfit. This is why I have always wanted to buy one just that the original one was out of my reach. Luckily, a friend of mine recommended a replica company from where she bought many great imitation bags. This gave me courage to purchase a LV Speedy 30 Damier Azur of my own.
The replica handbag purchased from PurseValley.cn turned out to be an excellent copy of the original Speedy 30. It looks and feels very authentic. At the outside it has the well-known Damier Azur coated canvas with the "Louis Vuitton Paris" marking embossed on specific squares, just like the original bag. The two rounded leather handles are made from very good quality leather which feels very resistant and durable. The bag also comes with a padlock for extra security. At the inside it has the classic beige canvas lining which carries the heat embossed "Louis Vuitton Paris Made in France" authenticity mark. It also has the product series code tag. Everything about the design of this bag looks incredibly genuine.
The hardware is also made from the finest metals and every metallic part of this bag has been stamped with Louis Vuitton authenticity markings, exactly like the real Speedy 30 Damier Azur purse. The first thing I have noticed was the LV engraved polished brass trimmings which are flawlessly made. Another very nice reproduction of the genuine hardware is the zipper closure with the Louis Vuitton engraved polished brass padlock. This is indistinguishable to the authentic one. The thing about this replica is that it even came with all the paperwork you would expect to get when buying the real product: a Louis Vuitton care booklet, authenticity card, LV receipt, Louis Vuitton tag and the Louis Vuitton dust bag.
I must say that it surely is a very well made replica. It is of a remarkably superior quality and the materials used to make this purse are identical to the ones used on the real purse. Also, it carries all the authenticity markings and it comes with authenticity paperwork and tags. The only flaw I have noticed to its design was a small defect on the natural cowhide leather trimmings. It is a very small imperfection that you can barely notice and considering the overall excellent quality of the bag I have accepted this mistake.
The LV Speedy 30 Damier Azur is a very popular city bag, perfect for a modern city girl who simply loves fashion and beautiful designer handbags. You can wear it almost every day at the office, at events or even when going out with the girls. I am very happy with the replica I have bought from PurseValley.cn and I recommend this company to anyone who wants to purchase a high quality replica LV Speedy 30.

The Replica Louis Vuitton Neverfull Damier Azur Is THE Summer Bag!Categories:Louis Vuitton
I'm in a summery mood lately but who can blame me? And a summer mood needs the perfect replica bag, right? Well, can you imagine a better option than the replica Louis Vuitton Neverfull in Damier Azur? I can't, even though it's been on the market for so many years!
If you're still looking for a great summer bag, this PurseValley.cn review might help you make a decision!
My friend was looking for a Louis Vuitton Neverfull replica to match her spring and summer clothes and we both agreed that the Damier Azur canvas is the best choice. This was her first time ordering from PurseValley and here are her impressions:
"Hi Eva,
I've ordered my NF Azur MM yesterday evening. They phoned me this afternoon to confirm my mail adress and my email. They didn't ask me anything about my Visa credit card as I could read on previous comments.
They should send me an email with my tracking number and I should receive my parcel in the 7-10 next days.
I'll update you until the delivery"
"As I promised here are my first impressions about my LV Nerverfull Azur ordered on PV.
Have put my order on the 27th May. They called me the day after just to confirm my mail adress.
They sent me 3 emails to inform me during the process (order placed, order packaged and order shipped with tracking number).
I've just received my parcel (so 6 days after my order included the weekend).
The NF is just PERFECT! It's really like the original except the huge smell. No matter, I've put it outdoor until the smell leaves"
Eva, I really want to thank you for your advices and for your replies
I definitly will buy on PV. Do you know if LV NF Monogram got the same quality?
Thousand thanks & Best frenchy regards !
Louis Vuitton replica handbags and replica bags in general sometimes have a bad smell to them, but don't worry, there are ways to get rid of it in no time! Here's what you girls can do about it: you can use baking soda (the refrigerator box kind one), you can spray perfume on a piece of cloth or a little Febreeze and put it inside the bag or you can use a small box of baking soda for a week along with activated charcoal to suck up the smell.
"Thank you for the tips ! Today the smell has completely gone but I keep your tips in mind for next time
I forgot to tell some informations : The serial number is upside down. The bag came unboxing but in a dust bag which is not same quality as the real one. I don't mind those details but I prefer tell them for your readers"
Thank you for your detailed PurseValley.cn review and for sending photos of your replica Louis Vuitton Neverfull! I think it looks great and no one will see the serial number except you.
But for those of you who are bothered even by the smallest flaws, this is why it's so important to choose reliable replica sites like PurseValley that have a good return policy and that allow you to return the bag if you don't like it! So don't forget to check the return policy whenever you come across a replica site!
High quality Louis Vuitton replicas and summer… two of my favorite things in the whole world! What's your favorite summer bag?

Dominican Republic
Facts & Figures
President: Danilo Medina (2012)
Land area: 18,680 sq mi (48,381 sq km); total area: 18,815 sq mi (48,730 sq km)
Population (2016 est.): 10.65 million.
Capital and largest city (2011 est.): Santo Domingo, 2.191 million
Other large city: Santiago de los Caballeros, 501,800
Monetary unit: Dominican Peso
- Dominican Republic Main Page
- Freely-Elected President Balaguer Witnesses Withdrawal of Foreign Troops
- President Fernández Lights Fire Under Dominican Republics Failing Economy
- Among the First to Offer Aid to Haiti
- Ruling Party Candidate Wins Presidential Election
The Dominican Republic in the West Indies occupies the eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with Haiti. Its area equals that of Vermont and New Hampshire combined. Duarte Peak, at 10,417 ft (3,175 m), is the highest point in the West Indies.
Representative democracy.
The Dominican Republic was explored by Columbus on his first voyage in 1492. He named it La Española, and his son, Diego, was its first viceroy. The capital, Santo Domingo, founded in 1496, is the oldest European settlement in the Western Hemisphere.
Spain ceded the colony to France in 1795, and Haitian blacks under Toussaint L'Ouverture conquered it in 1801. In 1808, the people revolted and captured Santo Domingo the next year, setting up the first republic. Spain regained title to the colony in 1814. In 1821 Spanish rule was overthrown, but in 1822 the colony was reconquered by the Haitians. In 1844, the Haitians were thrown out and the Dominican Republic was established, headed by Pedro Santana. Uprisings and Haitian attacks led Santana to make the country a province of Spain from 1861 to 1865.
President Buenaventura Báez, faced with an economy in shambles, attempted to have the country annexed to the U.S. in 1870, but the U.S. Senate refused to ratify a treaty of annexation. Disorder continued until the dictatorship of Ulíses Heureaux; in 1916, when chaos broke out again, the U.S. sent in a contingent of marines, who remained until 1924.
A sergeant in the Dominican army trained by the marines, Rafaél Leonides Trujillo Molina, overthrew Horacio Vásquez in 1930 and established a dictatorship that lasted until his assassination in 1961, 31 years later. In 1962, Juan Bosch of the leftist Dominican Revolutionary Party, became the first democratically elected president in four decades.
Freely-Elected President Balaguer Witnesses Withdrawal of Foreign Troops
In 1963, a military coup ousted Bosch and installed a civilian triumvirate. Leftists rebelled against the new regime in April 1965, and U.S. president Lyndon Johnson sent in marines and troops. After a cease-fire in May, a compromise installed Hector Garcia-Godoy as provisional president. In 1966, right-wing candidate Joaquin Balaguer won in free elections against Bosch, and U.S. and other foreign troops withdrew.
In 1978, the army suspended the counting of ballots when Balaguer trailed in a fourth-term bid. After a warning from President Jimmy Carter, however, Balaguer accepted the victory of Antonio Guzmán of the Dominican Revolutionary Party. In 1982 elections, Salvador Jorge Blanco of the Dominican Revolutionary Party defeated Balaguer and Bosch. Balaguer was again elected president in May 1986 and remained in office for the next ten years.
In 1996, U.S.-raised Leonel Fernández secured more than 51% of the vote through an alliance with Balaguer. The first item on the president's agenda was the partial sale of some state-owned enterprises. Fernández was praised for ending decades of isolationism and improving ties with other Caribbean countries, but he was criticized for not fighting corruption or alleviating the poverty that affects 60% of the population.
President Fernández Lights Fire Under Dominican Republics Failing Economy
In Aug. 2000, the center-left Hipólito Mejía was elected president amid popular discontent over power outages in the recently privatized electric industry, but in May 2004 presidential elections, he was defeated by former president Leonel Fernández (1996–2000). Fernández instituted austerity measures to rescue the country from its economic crisis, and in the first half of 2006, the economy grew 11.7%.
On May 16, 2008, incumbent president Leonel Fernández was reelected, taking 53% of the vote. He defeated Miguel Vargas of the Dominican Revolutionary Party, who won 41%.
Among the First to Offer Aid to Haiti
After the devastating earthquake on January 12, 2010 in Haiti, the Dominican Republic was one of the first countries to offer aid despite the two countries having a history of conflict. The Dominican Republic sent food, medicine, and teams to assess the damage. The country also eased visa requirements so the injured could seek treatment at Dominican hospitals.
Over a year later, in the spring of 2011, protests started and signs were posted, calling for the refugees to go home. By August 2011, Haitian refugees were turned away at the border and in some cases, deported. The shift in attitude showed impatience with Haiti's slow recovery as well as other concerns, including a high unemployment rate, among the highest in Latin American, and cholera, which had killed more than 90 people in the Dominican Republic, many of them Haitian migrants.
In October 2011, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) received over 450 complaints from people in the Dominican Republic who said their citizenship had been revoked. The complaints came from people who have been recognized as citizens for decades. The IACHR condemned the policy, but on December 1st, the country's Supreme Court rejected a Dominican-born male's request for a birth certificate so he could relocate to the United States. The new policy could affect some 200,000 Dominicans of Haitian origin.
Ruling Party Candidate Wins Presidential Election
In May 20, 2012, Danilo Medina, candidate of the ruling Dominican Liberation Party, won the presidential election. Medina narrowly defeated Hipólito Mejía, receiving 51.24 percent of the vote. Voting fraud allegations followed the election, including claims from other political parties that votes were bought. The Organization of American States confirmed vote-buying, but concluded that it was not enough to determine the outcome of the election so the organization approved the results.
On August 16, 2012, Medina takes over for Leonel Fernández, who has been president for 12 of the last 16 years. Fernández's wife, Margarita Cedeño, will serve as Medina's vice-president. Fernández is eligible and expected to run for another term (his fourth) in 2016.

The report recommends that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency consider ozone-related mortality in any future ozone standards, and said local health authorities should keep this in mind when advising people to stay indoors on polluted days.
"What impressed me was the consistency of the findings that ozone clearly ... does have an effect," Dr. Evelyn Talbott of the University of Pittsburgh, who worked on the study, said in a telephone interview.
"It's small, but when you talk about a small effect over 300 million people, it's a lot."
The report looks at ground-level ozone, a component of smog, as opposed to the ozone found in the high atmosphere, which protects the Earth from ultraviolet rays.
Ozone is a form of oxygen formed by the reaction of sunlight on air containing other pollutants such as hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide. It is a powerful oxidizer, meaning it can damage cells in a process akin to rusting.
It is known to cause respiratory problems and worsen heart disease. Children and the elderly are at special risk.
The EPA asked the National Research Council, part of the advisory National Academies of Science, to analyze the link between ozone and early death.
Ill at greater risk
A committee appointed by the council found that deaths related to ozone exposure are more likely among people with pre-existing diseases and other factors that could increase their susceptibility. But they said premature deaths are not limited to people who are already within a few days of dying.
They looked at studies that linked deaths directly with variations in ozone levels, as well as animal studies that examined whether there was a biological explanation for ozone causing death.
"Do you see the disease on days when ozone is higher? And the answer is yes," Talbott said. "There does appear to be a dose response."
The committee looked at studies done in several cities across the United States as well as in Canada and Europe. They took into account differences in temperature and humidity that may affect the ozone level.
The effects on deaths are clear, Talbott said -- and the findings excluded serious illnesses and visits to the emergency room if the patient did not die.
"If you have a town that has got many old people ... then obviously this ozone thing is probably a bigger player," Talbott said. "It touches everybody but I think it touches the infirm and elderly (more)."
The EPA toughened standards for ozone pollution in March but outside experts complained its new requirements were more lax than the EPA's own scientists recommended.
The new standards are 75 parts per billion in ambient air in the United States. The previous standard was 80 parts per billion.
The EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee recommended a standard of 60 to 70 parts per billion.

March 1 came and went and the sky did not fall, sequestration notwithstanding.
March 1 came and went and the sky did not fall, sequestration notwithstanding.
The dreaded across-the-board spending cuts were signed into law by President Barack Obama when no agreement was reached between Democrats and Republicans. Then the clock struck 12 and, well, nothing.
Of course not. Economic calamity takes time. And time is running out on what some expected would be about a month of nothing happening before Americans started feeling the pinch. Meat inspectors disappearing. Fewer TSA workers at the airport. Day care centers closing.
None of that's going to be popular for meat eaters who travel by air and leave their kids at a day care center. Politicians, even those with tin ears, know the yelps are coming, and they're moving to do the inevitable: tweak rather than fix the sequestration law.
Senators are loading up a routine spending bill - some 100 amendments have been offered - to do everything from reopening the White House to tours to keeping air traffic controllers in the control towers. That routine spending bill, not likely to remain routine given the political theatrics of Washington, is needed to keep the government open for business after Wednesday.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he's disappointed about all the requested tweaks. He may be disappointed, but it's hard to imagine that he's surprised.
Reid scolded the senators for their "if he gets his, I want mine" attitude and warned them not to provoke "the ire of the speaker."
Oh, please.
Congress and the president created this problem. It's up to them to solve it. Tinkering with the hatchet-job sequestration bill - a bill we were told was so odious no right-minded lawmaker would let it happen - helps no one. All sequestration demonstrated is how few right-minded lawmakers wander the halls of Congress.
Americans are tired of the games. We sent our representatives to Washington to work for us, not for special interests or for their self-aggrandizement. It's time they did their jobs.

Developer Plans $96 Million Apartment Project in Vista
Friday, October 4, 2013
The Carlsbad-based western division of apartment developer Trammell Crow Residential has acquired 20.6 acres on two adjoining parcels in Vista, for a planned $96 million, 410-unit luxury apartment community.
The developer said the project, at 1401 N. Melrose Drive, is a 402,680-square-foot gated community, consisting of 10 three-story residential buildings and two community buildings, to be built in phases.
The development, to be located across the street from the Melrose Drive Sprinter train station, has been approved by the city and construction is scheduled to start immediately. The leasing office and the first apartments are set to open in early 2015, with the entire community expected to be completed by the end of 2015.
Trammell Crow Residential is headquartered in Dallas. Its western division, formerly known as GLJ Partners, has more than 1,500 Southern California apartment units in the pipeline or recently completed.

Florida Panthers
Florida Panthers fall to Edmonton Oilers again
The Panthers may have had a new coach, a different goalie and a touch more confidence, but it didn't matter much Thursday night.
For the second time in just over two weeks, the Panthers lost to the Edmonton Oilers, this time 4-1 at Rexall Place in the frigid capital of Alberta.
"The key to this game was energy. We didn't have any,'' coach Peter Horachek said. "If our energy is better, if we came out with a workmanlike effort, everything improves. I thought right from the beginning the effort was there, the compete wasn't there. It made it a struggle. We thought we could get it back. We didn't.''
Florida lost in a shootout to the Oilers at home on Nov. 5, with the decision to fire coach Kevin Dineen and replace him with Horachek — then coaching Florida's minor league team — made soon afterward.
Both teams are playing better than they were then, with Edmonton getting a win over provincial rival Calgary on Saturday with a four-goal third period before rolling visiting Columbus 7-0 on Tuesday.
Edmonton jumped all over the Panthers, taking advantage of Tom Gilbert's penalty 25 seconds into the game by getting a power play goal from Jordan Eberle before the first minute had expired.
Eberle would later dump in an empty net goal with 1:11 left. Florida trailed 2-0 as Sam Gagner — who originally took up the game in Coral Springs as his dad Dave played for the Panthers — got his first of the year in the second.
The Panthers would be down by three for the first time under Horachek midway through the second before Scottie Upshall made it 3-1.
Upshall, from the oil town of Fort McMurray about a 4 1/2 hour drive north of Edmonton, has four goals this season with three of them coming against the Oilers.
"We pushed hard at the end which I think was good,'' Upshall said. "There were some positives. . . . It was just a grind, a real uphill climb being down 3-0.''
Florida had a number of opportunities to get back in the game during a third period in which it had three power play chances.
The Panthers went 0-for-5 with the advantage; Edmonton was 2-for-5.
"There were chances, but we didn't get off to a good start,'' Brian Campbell said. "We felt we were in the game. . . . We have to find a way, have to get it done. We didn't have our best game by any means, but we have to find a way to get through that and get the points. This is disappointing.''
Devan Dubnyk turned the Panthers back, making six saves in the third as he helped the Oilers win three straight for the first time this season. Dubnyk got the win in Florida earlier this month as well.
The Panthers were looking for their first three-game streak as well as they had won three of four coming in. The Panthers' five-game road trip concludes Friday night a few hours south in Calgary.
• The Panthers lost Tomas Kopecky to what looks to be a hand or wrist injury after he was jammed up in a corner by Boyd Gordon in the first period. Kopecky left the game and didn't return. Horachek said Kopecky will likely miss Friday's game.
Jesse Winchester, who plays on a line with Kopecky and Marcel Goc, also left the game with a lower body injury. Winchester returned to the game and played a few shifts in the second but didn't play at all in the third.
• Florida scratched Mike Weaver, Sean Bergenheim and Scott Gomez on Thursday. All three are eligible to play Friday against the Flames.

Neil McCormick, The Telegraph's chief pop and rock music critic, has used this moment to question whether the earlier Beyoncé/Destiny's Child songs, spectacularly re-performed last night at the Super Bowl, "undermine Beyoncé's latter-day image as a sexy feminist with an independent mind" - while reviewing Love Songs. Specifically, McCormick is referring to the lyrics in the song Cater 2 U in which the three reunited band-mates sing a love song about serving their respective partners: "Makin' sure that I'm doin' my part/ Boy, is there somethin' u need me 2 do / If u want it, say the word, I, I can try it."
According to McCormick, this song is "cringe inducing, with lots of sensuous moaning about the ways in which the trio will serve their man". I'm surprised he didn't make more of the fact that Beyoncé is calling her next tour the Mrs. Carter Show (Jay Z's official surname) – as this surely further fuels his limited argument about what it is to be feminist and the fact that Beyonce surely cannot be one. By his logic this display of hers, showing off that she is happily married to a man, Beyoncé must surely get some feminist points deducted?
So here is it again. The same old myth: that in order to be a feminist, you have to live a life solely dedicated to publicly airing your feminist views, only talking about power of women (never men) whilst burning your entire underwear drawer.
Moreover, it is really strange that McCormick concludes his piece by saying Beyoncé's entire feminist stance (who, by the way has never publicly declared herself as an official feminist, but does she even need to?) should be judged by this one song Cater 2 U from 2004. He describes these Destiny's Child tracks from over a decade ago as "an illustration of how far r&b has shifted in a short space of time that most of Love Songs sounds extremely old-fashioned – and not just because some of the views expressed on them hark back to an era when girl power meant making sure the washing machine was plugged in". Has he even listened to the whole album?
Surely if we are going to compare notes based on old Destiny Child's song lyrics, it'd be wiser to pick the 2004 hit Survivor (albeit not on Love Songs), which led the way for females to be independent and not at all showing "Destiny's attitude tend[ing] to the supplicatory and subservient" as McCormick suggests: "You thought that I'd be weak without you, But I'm stronger / You thought that I'd be broke without you But I'm richer / You thought that I'd be sad without you / I laugh harder."
I also think it is pertinent at this point to remind McCormick et al, that Beyoncé's recent financial incomings in fact beat her husband's by $2 million last year and that she pretty much trumped his earlier performance at Glastonbury 2011.
Beyoncé is playful in her song writing. Yes, her music videos are also about celebrating her body, but they can also go deeper into exploring gender with songs such as If I were a Boy. When you take in her hugely successful music career (six Grammys alone in 2010), and great acting roles in major films – as well as her own documentary, I personally find it hard to fault her.
Even after all of this evidence of a woman doing so much right, she is still prone to criticism. A recent Guardian article criticised Beyoncé's choice at being on the cover of GQ in her underwear. How is it that being photographed in your under wear is OK, but only if you don't have the perfect body. Can we ever really let women celebrating independence without criticizing their every move? Maybe, just maybe, it's OK to want to be attractive to men AND be considered a feminist.
Last week, The Telegraph's Deputy Women's Editor Louisa Peacock confessed to feeling guilty about the fact that she cares about the way she looks, asking does this still make her a feminist? This made me feel shocked and sad, that women were not only pressured in other walks of life, but now to be pressured into feeling a certain way about their bodies and to be a certain 'type' of feminist.
My question is, if we accept that Lena Dunham likes to take her clothes off and celebrate her body, (with the majority of the media giving her a firm thumbs up), then how come Beyoncé is branded 'not a feminist' for doing the same? A woman's own standard of how she wishes to look or conduct a relationship with a man or woman is a personal thing and should not pervert any definition of feminism.

Here are some photos from the April 27 and 28 shows at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom in the legendary Five Points district of Denver, Colorado. I had never before heard of Alex Grey–speaking of legendary. By the end of the second show, I felt I knew him pretty well. One thing I gained is that he has a very luminous (to say the least) reputation in the art world, in the electronic music world and in the world of holofractographic universe theorizers.
He gave two talks on art, and replicas of his most famous works were hung all around in the theatre. Each of the two nights, while premiere electronic, dubstep, hip hop musicians were performing, he and his wife Allyson jointly painted a canvas on stage left.
In speaking of "visionary art" during his talks, he quoted a range of artists, scientists and philosophers. I'll intersperse some of the quotes (asap) with the following photos of mine from the two-night experience.

In Italy, bloated levels of government spending, rising levels of red ink, political opposition to any meaningful austerity package, and the prospect of a debt default have spooked investors, ignited a capital flight from Italian bonds and raised borrowing costs.
In August, Italy paid buyers of a new 10-year bond a yield of 5.22 percent. By October, the rate was 6.06 percent. In early November, the price of borrowing to Italy via the same 10-year bond rose to 6.73 percent, an escalation in costs that only added to the red ink and deepened the debt crisis.
Economist Mario Monti, a former European Union Commissioner, was named "senator for life" by Italian President Giorgio Napolitano on November 9, followed several days later by the appointment of Monti as Italian prime minister after Silvo Berlusconi stepped down.
Echoing Toynbee's aforementioned comment on suicide, Monti has described the growing debt crisis in the Italian economy as a case of "self-inflicted strangulation."
Government debt in Italy is now 120 percent of the GDP — 120 percent of the total annual value of all goods and services produced in the country. In Greece, Ireland, and Portugal, government debt as a percentage of GDP has now reached, respectively, 158 percent, 112 percent and 102 percent.
Seeing Italy as unable to control itself from within, the super-poobahs at the recent G-20 meeting in Cannes, a select fraternity that controls the green light to bailouts for collapsing entities, made a decision to dispatch the central planners from the International Monetary Fund to Italy to oversee reforms in Italy's anti-productivity labor laws and extravagant entitlement programs, and to jump start privatization efforts and the sale of government properties.
In the United States, we're heading around the same track, just a few laps behind and still pressing the gas pedal to the floor.
According to an analysis by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, the Budget Control Act that put in place a plan to cut U.S. deficits by $900 billion over the next 10 years via caps on discretionary spending and charged the "Supercommittee" with identifying $1.5 trillion in additional deficit reducing measures "would make only a small improvement in our nation's long-term fiscal outlook."
Prior to the Budget Control Act being enacted into law, U.S. "federal debt was projected to soar to 187 percent of GDP by 2035, according to the Congressional Budget Office current base line," reports the Peterson Foundation. "After the enactment of the Budget Control Act, the foundation projects that federal debt will reach 164 percent by 2035 and climb to 186 percent of GDP by 2038."
If we keep going this way (and we are, with annual projected deficits of $1 trillion-plus stretched out as far the cash-rich Chinese agree to lend), we just might end up having some central planners from the IMF coming our way to tell us that we can't get a Social Security check if we have any money in the bank, or telling our kids they won't get any tuition help unless they agree to major in non-profit management.
A recent Wall Street Journal editorial, "Europe's Entitlement Reckoning," summarizes the growing crisis: "In Italy, as in Greece, Spain and Portugal, and eventually France, the welfare-entitlement state has hit a wall. Successive governments on the Continent, right and left, have financed generous entitlements with high taxes and towering piles of debt. Their economies have failed to grow fast enough to keep up, and last year the money started to run out. The reckoning has arrived."
Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said it more succinctly: "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money."

Championship: Bournemouth hammer Huddersfield 4-0 at John Smith's Stadium
Last Updated: 12/08/14 2:52pm
Striker Callum Wilson scored twice on his debut and midfielder Marc Pugh after just 24 seconds as Bournemouth got their season off to a perfect start with a 4-0 rout of Huddersfield.
Wilson, a £3million buy from hometown club Coventry, first barged Town's Joel Lynch out of the way and coolly netted after 32 minutes.
The 22-year-old played on as Huddersfield tried to claim a foul by the right touchline before cutting inside and drilling low past keeper Alex Smithies.
Wilson's second goal, from a Pugh cross, saw a weak close-range shot after 64 minutes squirm under Smithies. Between Wilson's two strikes Yann Kermorgant had scored in what was already a miserable afternoon for Terriers fans.
Wilson joined the Cherries as a replacement for star striker Lewis Grabban, who was sold to Norwich in the summer.
His second goal prompted a walk-out by some home fans, who booed and chanted "you don't know what you're doing" at boss Mark Robins during a woeful display.
Wilson even fluffed the chance of a hat-trick when he missed a penalty on 76 minutes after Smithies brought him down. Lynch left Smithies in trouble with a poor back header and the keeper caught Wilson in the box with his trailing leg.
Smithies was booked for the foul but redeemed himself by diving to his left to hold on to Wilson's tame spot-kick.
Bournemouth, beaten 5-1 by Huddersfield a year ago, made an electric start to the season when Pugh struck before the season was one minute old.
Charlie Daniels put Matt Ritchie in down the right and his cross was first controlled and then dispatched past Smithies by Pugh with two touches from close range.
Slick Bournemouth, whose team featured three of the same back four humiliated a year ago, never looked back. Wilson took his two goals and in between Kermorgant had made it 3-0 on 50 minutes.
Smithies parried a headed from Pugh but Kermorgant lashed in the rebound from close range.
Huddersfield's only had two real chances in the game. The first came on 39 minutes when Oliver Norwood rattled the bar from 35 yards from Jonathan Hogg's pass.
The second came from home debutant Matt Crooks, a 20-year-old academy product, who forced keeper Lee Camp to tip over a header from a Norwood corner on 62 minutes.
Other than that Huddersfield, who played an unfamiliar 3-4-1-2 formation, were hardly in the game.
In fact it could have been worse for the Terriers. Ritchie twice went close early in the game and then nearly scored with a spectacular 75-yard lob on 41 minutes after a mistake by Smithies.

Apple is now the leading phone manufacturer by market share. It passed Nokia for the first time last quarter.
But more impressive: it captured two-thirds of all profits in the mobile phone business last quarter, according to statistics from Asymco.
Another way of looking at it: Apple made about twice as much profit on mobile phones as Samsung, RIM, and HTC did -- combined. Nokia, Motorola, Sony- Ericsson, and LG all saw losses.

According to Haaretz, New York Knicks basketball star Amar'e Stoudemire is apparently on his way to Israel for a voyage of discovery after learning he has Jewish roots. "On the flight to Israel. This is going to be a great trip," announced the power forward, who plays in the NBA for the New York Nicks, via the micro-blogging site Twitter.
On a later Twitter Post, he said: "Jerusalem is a beautiful city, I'm at a cafe eating a late lunch. I'm learning Hebrew by the min. Keep up !! Shalom."
According to an Army Radio report, Stoudemire plans to spend time in Israel learning Hebrew, having recently learned he has a Jewish mother. "The holy land. Learn about it," he wrote, adding "ze ha'halom sheli" – Hebrew for 'this is my dream'.

Ascension Providence is excited to announce a breakthrough procedure in the treatment of asthma. Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is a non-drug procedure for severe, persistent asthma in patients 18 years and older whose asthma is not well-controlled with inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta agonists such as Advair®, Symbicort® and Dulera®.
How Bronchial Thermoplasty Works
The Alair® Bronchial Thermoplasty System (the "Alair System") delivers thermal energy to the airway wall in a precisely controlled manner in order to reduce excessive airway smooth muscle (ASM). Reducing airway smooth muscle decreases the ability of the airways to constrict, thereby reducing the frequency of asthma attacks.
The BT Procedure
BT is a minimally invasive bronchoscopic procedure performed in three outpatient procedure visits, each treating a different area of the lungs and scheduled approximately three weeks apart. After all three procedures are performed, the bronchial thermoplasty treatment is complete. The procedures are performed at Ascension Providence by Dr. Maydee A. Rosario and Dr. Boris A. Murillo, both of Waco Lung Associates.
BT Complements Asthma Medications
BT is expected to complement current asthma maintenance medications by providing long-lasting asthma control and improving asthma-related quality of life of patients with severe asthma.
BT Benefits and Risks
Benefits of BT
One year follow-up indicates…
- 32 percent reduction in asthma attacks
- 84 percent reduction in emergency room visits for respiratory symptoms
- 73 percent reduction in hospitalizations for respiratory symptoms
- 66 percent reduction in days lost from work/school/ other daily activities due to asthma
- Improved asthma quality of life
Two year follow-up indicates…
- Reductions in asthma attacks, ER visits and hospitalizations for respiratory symptoms are maintained
Stable safety profile observed out to five years
Risks of BT
- In the period immediately following BT, there is an expected increase and worsening of asthma-related respiratory symptoms
- These events typically occur within a day of the procedure and resolve on average within seven days with standard care
- There is a small possibility (3.4 percent per procedure) that the temporary worsening of asthma symptoms after a procedure may result in the patient being admitted to the hospital for management of asthma symptoms

The most common question we get from first time customers at Coolibar is "how does your clothing protect against the sun's UV rays?" The answer is quite simple – it's all in the fabric!
Our SUNTECT® fabrics are rated UPF 50+ meaning they block 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays and provide protection in one of two ways: 1) A broad-spectrum sunscreen ingredient, either zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, is permanently embedded into the fibers during the manufacturing process. These sunscreen ingredients reflect UV, so UVA and UVB rays bounce off the garment. 2) Tight-weave construction prevents UVA and UVB rays from penetrating the garment.
Each SUNTECT® fabric has unique qualities to suite a variety of outdoor lifestyles. The fabric type can be found on each individual item page on Coolibar.com under the "Fabric Details" tab. Here are our most popular SUNTECT® fabrics:

Common Questions:
What is the difference between sun protective clothing and regular clothing?
Most summer clothing actually provides less sun protection than a SPF 30 sunscreen. We test each garment we sell for UPF 50+ coverage.
What is the difference between UPF and SPF?
The Ultraviolet Protection Factor or UPF on sun protective clothing is actually a very similar concept to the Sun Protection Factor or SPF rating for sunscreen but there are some differences. The major difference is that the UPF for sun protective clothing and swimming shirts rates protection for both UVA and UVB whereas the SPF number on sunscreen only rates protection against UVB. Also, a person wearing a UPF 30 garment will, in practice, be protected against 96% of UVA and UVB, whereas most people who use a SPF 30 sunscreen don't apply enough sunscreen and, in practice, end up with significantly less protection, typically being protected against less than 50% of UVB.
If I wear sun protective clothes, do I still need sunscreen?
Sunscreen is always recommended on areas not directly covered by our sun protective fabric, such as your chin, cheeks and hands – this will ensure maximum UV protection.
Why can I see light through some of my UPF 50+ clothes and hats? Does that mean they're not blocking 98% of UVA and UVB?
The garment or hat is still protective even when you can see light through it. UV rays are shorter and have a higher frequency than visible light rays. Visible light is not harmful to us since the frequency is not high enough. You can still see light through sunglasses with 100% UV protection – right?
Are all sun protective clothes the same?
No. Every company that produces sun protective clothing has different quality standards and fabric types for their UPF clothing. In addition, different sun protective clothes may have ratings lower than UPF 50+. Coolibar only sells sun protective clothing with a UPF rating of 50+.
Is the titanium dioxide in some of the fabrics safe?
Yes. The micronized non-nano titanium dioxide particles are encapsulated by the fibers. We often use the seeded watermelon analogy to explain.
– The fibers (fibers are thread together to make the fabric) = the rind of the watermelon.
– The titanium dioxide = the watermelon seeds. If you cut the watermelon in half, you can see the seeds on the inside.
The seeds, however, are never able to reach the surface of the watermelon. The same principle applies with the titanium dioxide used in our clothing.
How many times can I wash it before the sun protection wears out?
Our SUNTECT® brand fabrics have guaranteed UPF of 50+ for the life of the garment. The protection does not wash or wear out.

Vivaldi can grab a picture of the whole webpage or part of it and saves it automatically inside a note or as a file in your disk, or in your elected directory. But I have problems with images of full windows shown on monitor (using X Window System in GNU/Linux). Here I use system XWindow screenshots.
Pro Cross browser extensions with Opera and Chrome, Firefox web-ext's too
All Vivaldi, Opera and Chrome users can get extensions from all extension/addon sites, especially from Opera Addons and Chrome Store.
Pro Manages bookmarks well
Vivaldi has an excellent bookmarks system. Bookmarks can be easily accessible via Speed Dial, side-bar, bookmarks bar, quick commands. No more messy bookmarks bar is needed and location bar suggestion is improved thus!
Pro Custom search engines
You can add as many search engines as you like. For example you can set up one for YouTube, one for Wikipedia, or whatever you want: you need only the URL of the search and it can be used from the URL bar (by prefixing it's nickname,
yt for YouTube for example).
Pro Synchronisation
Everything can be synced with a Vivaldi account. Though there's still no mobile version you can sync between computers and OSes.
Pro Non-closable fixed tabs
A setting lets you prevent closing fixed tabs so you don't close anything important by accident.
Pro Tab bar position can be changed
Users can change tab bar position to top, bottom left or right
Pro Allows navigating to the next page without searching for the link
A feature called fast forward puts a dedicated button before the address bar that is designed to help you navigate to the next page of a multi-page article, forum thread or search results without having to hunt for the link.
Pro WebRTC IP leaking can be disabled
A built-in setting called "Broadcast IP" will stop the IP leaking with WebRTC when disabled.
Pro VPN is available by extension- also routing through Tor network
VPN and Tor encryption is possible through extensions. Tor is a free choice if one doesn't want to subscribe to a VPN service.
Pro Dark theme out of the box
There's even an option to automatically transition from light to dark based on the time of day.
Pro Faster than Firefox or Chrome
Pro Saving Sessions
It saves oversights many options and functions implemented in Vivaldi . Eg. see CON "No option to open saved tab stack as... tab stack!"
Pro Pioneer of browser features
Presto Opera (Vivaldi's predecessor) is the reason we have a number of common browser features, including tabs and speed dial.
Pro Usable fullscreen mode with address bar when needed
In comparison, on Chrome you will not see the address bar, only on ChromeOS when your mouse is on the top of the screen.
Pro Updates via dialog box
Unlike most modern browsers (but like most browsers of yesteryear), Vivaldi gives you a dialog box when an new version comes out; it doesn't just update silently in the background. The dialog box tells you about the changes that have been made, and lets you chose when you want to update.
Pro Portable version can be added on default apps
most portable version cannot be added as default apps but vivaldi offers that option and it comes with updater too
Pro Customizable UI
Vivaldi can change the colors across the browser and has the option to change the color automatically depending on the page. Also, page loading animations are available in the address bar.
Pro Side panel and status bar
Not used fully, they lacks few toggles, that's why I am saying Vivaldi is finished in 80% and unpolished, what makes many people to ditch the browser.
Pro Faster than Firefox and Safari
Its is slower in startup than firefox and safari
Con Proprietary
While Safari er is currently available gratis (without monetary charge) on Mac OS X, it is currently not libre (meaning that it does not allow users to view the source code used to create, to modify that code, or to redistribute modifications) and is therefore neither free nor open-source software.
Con OSX only
Apple dropped Windows support after Safari 5.
Con Poor support for new web technologies
Safari usually takes its time when it comes to adopting new and useful web technologies meaning that the user gets an inferior experience compared to other modern browsers.
Con Terrible support for open source formats like .VP9 or .ogg
Apple does not support open source formats. Instead, they use H.264 and H.265.
Con Outdated Rendering engine
All other browsers and toolkits (Qt/GTK) have shifted to Googles Blink-fork of KHTML/Webkit so Apple is currently the only main contributor left.
Con Not available on your Phone/Tablet
Vivaldi is currently only available for desktop operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac). Though the developers have already said that they plan to release it.
Con Telemetry
According to its privacy policy, Vivaldi sends an approximate location, randomized ID, version, cpu architecture, screen resolution and time since last message every 24 hours.
Con Same security-holes as Chrome
Vivaldi uses the same browser engine as Chrome, meaning it has the same security-holes as Chrome. Chrome is a big target for hackers (being the most popular browser in the world), and a webpage that will hack Chrome will also hack Vivaldi.
Con Comes with many Ads
After installation the first thing you have to do is to remove all the default bookmarks and quickdial links which is really annoying. There is more minor stuff like the default search provider or your start page things that could be easily managed with a wizard at the first startup.
Con No silent background updates
Unlike most modern browsers, Vivaldi doesn't have the option to update silently in the background. It gives you a dialog box when an update comes out. Worse, the box doesn't warn you that not updating the browser could lead to security risks. That could be pretty bad for your average joe, who doesn't know computers that well.
Con No automatic page translation
Unlike Chrome, it doesn't automatically translate pages that are not in your language.
Con No guarantee that you won't lose your session
The browser window may freeze at any time, and you lose all your progress, open windows, and session without an option to restore it next time you open your browser.
Con Can't protect pinned tabs from changing to another URL
Clicking on a page link, then another, easy to wind up far from the original pinned tab site. There is no chrome addon or native vivaldi function to stop this.
Con Extensions miss hotkeys
You can set your shortcuts at vivaldi://extensions, but they do not work.
Con No option to open saved tab stack as... tab stack!
You may save stack, but you can open it as separate tabs. Interesting that when you save session with stacks, you'll be able to open the stacks with inner settings of page tiling (size and zoom) as well. Contradiction worth of shame.
Con No touch bar support
Con Proprietary
While Vivaldi is currently available gratis (without monetary charge), it is currently not fully libre (meaning that it does not allow users to view the source code used to create, to modify that code, or to redistribute modifications) and is therefore neither free nor open-source software.
The C++ source code however is open-source under a BSD license and can be downloaded and browsed from here.
The UI code though is not open-source, but it's easily readable as it's HTML, CSS & JS. Modifications can be shared as their forum even has a dedicated section.
Unlike Opera (but like most browsers), Vivaldi doesn't have a proxy service out of the box. You'll need an extension or an external program, to use Vivaldi with a proxy server.

Windows Phone 7 fans rejoice! HTC aren't holding back on the hardware, bringing out the second edition of their huge Titan handset.
Known naturally as the HTC Titan II, it features a 4.7-inch display, an eye-watering 16-megapixel camera and LTE and a slightly tweaked design that brings back the HTC Chin.
It is, sadly, an AT&T handset at launch and although HTC has confirmed that a global variant will be getting a launch further down the line we can confirm that Europe won't be getting it.
But before you get too excited about that 16-megapixel camera, HTC detail that it only offers 720p video capture, slightly out of kilter with the Full HD talents on show elsewhere in the smartphone world.
The camera seems to be the main focus (excuse the pun) of this handset, offering dual LED flash, smart tweaks like red-eye reduction and a backside-illuminated sensor and in our tests around the pool in the Palms hotel in Las Vegas coped well with the bright desert sun.
HTC claims it's a viable replacement for a compact camera. They obviously haven't seen the new Canon G1 X.
What you do get, however, is a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 processor and LTE connectivity on AT&T, so you'll get fast data on the go. There is a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera and the performance zips along in the same way as it does with the HTC Titan, only web pages load considerably faster.
We're not certain how much life you'll get from the 1730mAh battery when surfing on 4G waves, and we'd bet our bottom dollar that the screen resolution hasn't seen a bump either.
However, it's nice to see Windows Phone 7 putting itself out there. Peter Chou, HTC CEO commented: "This full-featured smartphone combines HTC's design with AT&T's high-speed 4G LTE network and Microsoft's powerful Windows Phone software, giving people more of what they crave."
We'll be keeping an eye on this handset and await it's arrival outside the US and of course, this is a precursor to a 16-megapixel HTC Android phone, if history repeats itself.
What we can say is that talking to HTC there big "unveil" is going to be at MWC. Pocket-lint will be at the show in Barcelona in February.
We will keep posted.
What do you think of the Titan II? Let us know in the comments below

Italian Filmmaker Carlo Lizzani Dies at 91
He reportedly fell from the third-floor balcony of his home in Rome; authorities are investigating whether it was a suicide.
ROME (AP) — Filmmaker Carlo Lizzani, a much-lauded protagonist of Italian Neorealism, has died, Italian state news media reported Saturday. He was 91.
There was an outpouring of condolences after his death was reported, including from President Giorgio Napolitano, who knew Lizzani for decades and honored him for his contributions to "cinema, to culture and to the democratic development of our country."
The state RAI news agency and the ANSA news agency said Lizzani died after a fall from the third-floor balcony of his home in Rome and that authorities were investigating whether it was a suicide.
Lizzani started out as a film critic, then as a writer, getting writing credits for Roberto Rossellini's 1948 Germany Year Zero and as the screenwriter for Giuseppe De Santis' 1950 film Bitter Rice, which earned him an Oscar nomination.
He collaborated with the likes of Jean-Luc Godard, Marco Bellocchio, Bernardo Bertolucci and Pier Paolo Pasolini.
The Academy of Italian Cinema awarded him best director for his 1968 film The Violent Four about a manhunt for bank robbers, and best screenwriter for the 1996 film Celluloide about the making of Rossellini's masterpiece Rome, citta' aperta.
He directed the Venice Film Festival from 1979 to 1982, and was a member of the jury of the Berlin Film Festival in 1994.
Paolo Baratta, the president of the Biennale, whose components include the Venice Film Festival as well as arts, dance and architecture sections, praised Lizzani's efforts.
"The Biennale is crying on the day of Carlo Lizzani's death," Baratta said. "He knew how to give the festival new energy. He knew how to create a nucleus of young students and experts that would represent in future years the true elite. The world of Italian cinema owes him a lot."

Wali Hawes – Fire Trees
An article by Wali about building and firing a set of fire trees. There is also comment in "Terrart"a Barcelona magazine published by L'Associació de Ceramistes de Catalunya. See front cover above…
This is a copy of the article on Wali's blog – for more interesting articles visit his blog.
Heloisa Alvima is a potter from Brazil who lives in Monferrier, France. I was very happy to be invited to build and fire a set of Fire Trees which would coincide with the festival of San Jean which is also the same day as the Summer Solstice. The setting was the Culture Centre and I was ably assisted by students from the ceramics school, local potters and enthusiasts. We started off with the usual coiling techniques and found the clay as supplied by SolarGil to be good allowing us to dry out the structure quite rapidly without cracking. Those who participated in the project were also invited to create decorations that reflected the local landscape or at least inspiration was from our surroundings. I did so in order to make people more aware of the environment in which we inhabit not only in the physical sense but also in the social context. It is another aspect of the Fire Trees that go beyond technique and process.
It was great to have the support of the Asociation de Clubs de Loisir (Hope that is how it is spelt!), Daniel who is the president, Gerard who put up with me and his wife Jo—many evenings were spent enjoying their hospitality, Loule, Izabu, Tibo, Caren and a host of others. Their help and kindness also the hospitality knew no bounds. If I have forgotton anybody then I allow myself to be shot for such an omission. Unfortunately we discovered that the clay did not quite meet up to the tremendous stresses during the firing and structural damage was quite severe…despite our attempts to repair the damage I am afraid the trees will have to be re-built and fired again. We got to temperature and the clay fired well…in some cases it actually fused. The firing was quite a spectacle. Looking forward to the next firing.

Parents see their baby's jaw is swollen, can't believe what the doctors pull out
Please like us to get more great stories like this
Pediatrician pulls out a 2-inch feather from baby's neck
September 5, 2017
When doctors first treated 7-month-old Mya Whittington, she was crying and touching an area under her left ear, so they assumed she had a swollen gland and sent her home with antibiotics. But when she didn't get better and wound up back at the Hutchinson, Kan., hospital, doctors took a closer look and made a shocking discovery, according to ABC News.
Something was protruding from the baby's neck. "(The pediatrician) threw on gloves and she pulled out a 2-inch feather," said Mya's father, Aaron, "and she's like, 'It's a feather.' And we're like, 'What do you mean it's a feather?' And she showed us." Indeed, doctors had pulled a 2-inch feather from the side of the baby's neck.
Everybody in the room was stunned. How did it happen? "Our doctor says we'll probably never really know," Aaron told ABC News. "But her best guess is that she either inhaled it or tried swallowing it and it got lodged in the throat somewhere, and the body, just being crazy, just started to reject it and force it out the side of her neck."
Mya was fine. Her parents say she didn't require surgery or any other kind of medical procedure. Doctors were confident her body would continue to heal itself.
Aaron Whittington said people all over the world were fascinated by the 2012 video. "We've gotten stories in Kenya, India, the U.K. It's really crazy," he said in the report. You can see a video of the baby with the feather still lodged inside her neck in the video below.
