Katie Cassidy
Maybe you guys can help me out with this one. Does anyone know who this chick is? Because I sure as hell didn't until about two seconds ago. And I'll tell you what, I feel like I've been living in darkness until I saw her picture for the first time. Allegory of the cave type of shit. Turns out my realities were just a bunch of shadows. My shits all upside down. All the chicks I thought were certified babes, aren't that great any more. Not to mention, my tuggin material is all pretty much obsolete too.
Well if you're like me, and have no clue who Katie Cassidy is, get ready for some knowledge. If you do know who she is, shut yer yapper and soak in hot chick greatness.
Katie is the daughter of teen idol David Cassidy. Didn't really care too much about Davey Cassidy up to this point, but the news that he might've made the hottest daughter ever really spikes his stock in my book. She's 26 and her and I, get this, HAVE THE SAME MOTHERFLIPPIN BIRTHDAY. So yeah, we're basically soul mates. Alright, I'll relax. Anyways she's an actress, you might know her as Laurel Lance on the CW's Arrow (probably not though if you're straight and what not). She's also been in CBS's Harper Island, and a bunch of other shows on the CW. That explains why I don't know her. Haven't watched the CW since it was The WB and Smart Guy was my shiznit. Actually thought you had to be a 14 year old girl to watch the CW. I guess Katie has also been in a few movies, none of which I've seen – When A Stranger Calls, Nightmare on Elm Street, Monte Carlo, and a few more nobody cares about.
Decent career for a 26 year old. By that I mean not so decent. She must be an awful actress because sweet lord she is like the hottest woman I've ever seen. Assuming she started out in Hollywood at 18, how has she been so hot, but stayed so unknown in eight goddamn years? Especially considering her pops is David Cassidy? Dude was on the Partridge Family. That was before my time, but it seems like he has some pull to get his smoking hot daughter whatever TV and movie roles she wants. Guess not.
Well you're out of your mind if you think I'm not tuning into the CW from this day forward. If Katie C is on there, then I'm on there too.
Here's a couple more photos for you to enjoy.

Joanna Gilbert is an abstract artist, inspired by modern architecture. Angles, geometry, perspective and space are the foundations of her work.
The use of reflection, shards of glass, diagonals, curves and composition allow architects to create art within a building – Joanna takes these buildings, these lines, these angles and turns them into art,
Traditionally creating paintings, Joanna was excited to push her boundaries further with the expansion of translating art into a 3- dimensional field – Allied World provided this opportunity and so the concept for this sculpture began.
Craftsmanship, media and materials allow Gilbert to create crisp, futuristic artworks of believable and colourful parallel worlds to our own. The sculpture shown is a deconstructed London skyline with both current and proposed buildings included.
"I wanted to keep it simple and let the architecture speak for itself. The reflective surface of mirrored perspex seemed appropriate as reflections in the architecture never cease to inspire me."
Gilbert has recently exhibited with the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours at the Mall Galleries and The Espacio Gallery in Shoreditch.

The invasion begins when three gliders carrying British airborne troops land silently behind German lines to seize a key strategic bridge. The gliders come down inside a ring of barbed-wire defences and halt within 50 yards of the bridge. This near-perfect landing will later be described as 'one of the most outstanding flying achievements of the Second World War'.
Troops of the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry charge the bridge. A 17-year-old German sentry and British Lieutenant Dan Brotheridge, whose wife is eight months pregnant, are killed, the first combat fatalities of D-Day. Within 10 minutes, this bridge and another vital objective are in British hands and the code-words 'Ham and Jam' are radioed to signify success. In a magnificent feat, the first British objective of D-Day has been captured. The location will go down in British military legend as Pegasus Bridge.
Ste-Mere-Eglise, Normandy
The objective of the US paratroops of the 82nd Airborne Division is captured after most of the Germans flee. Ste-Mère-Eglise becomes the first town in occupied France to be liberated. But the night drop has not gone well for the tough, elite American troops. Heavy cloud and intense anti-aircraft fire have thrown many of the C-47 transport planes bringing in 13,000 paratroopers off course. Many men are forced to jump when the planes are flying too low and far too fast. Thousands land in the wrong place. A few drown in the flooded Merderet valley. It takes most of the night for small groups to assemble and find their way to their objectives.
Ste Marie-du-Mont, Normandy
The commander of the German 6th Parachute Regiment, Colonel Frederick von der Heydte, confused by reports of the paratroop landings over a wide and disparate area, climbs to the top of the church tower in the small village of Ste Marie-du-Mont at dawn. He is stunned by the sight of hundreds of landing craft approaching the beaches a few miles to the east.
He races by motorcycle to his command centre in Carentan to mobilise the defences. He is one of the most senior German officers in the area, as many of the local high command are 90 miles away in Rennes for a war exercise. Communications between German units are severely disrupted by the French resistance, who have destroyed phone lines across much of the invasion zone.
Omaha and Utah beaches, Normandy
H-Hour on the two US beaches at the western end of the landing zone. The landings are timed for low tide when mines and beach defences are all visible. But this leaves the first waves of troops with about 400 yards of exposed beach to cross under the direct fire of German guns before reaching even the limited shelter of the sea wall.
The Germans were expecting landings at high tide but are ready. Although the landings on Utah beach are blown almost a mile off target by wind and tide, they proceed and are largely successful.
The story on Omaha beach is very different. The Germans are well prepared with machine gun nests positioned to rake the beach with fire. Unknown to the Allies, the crack German 352nd Infantry Division has recently arrived to defend this sector.
The first troops landing on Omaha beach face a massacre. In Company A, 116th Infantry of the 29th Division, 19 men from the small town of Bedford, Virginia, are hit by machine gun fire - almost all the young males from this rural community die in minutes. Many wounded men drown as the tide rises. Total American losses for the day on Omaha beach are about 2,500 dead, one of the worst days in US military history.
Gold, Juno and Sword beaches, Normandy
H-Hour on the British and Canadian beaches, as the low tide is one hour later further east. The British use their armour far more effectively than the Americans, with many floating tanks coming ashore to provide vital assistance to the infantry.
On Gold beach there is stiff resistance around the seaside town of Le Hamel, but this is overcome. British troops advance three miles inland by the end of the day to the edge of Bayeux, with its tapestry of the Norman invasion of England. On Sword beach flail tanks clear routes through minefields for the infantry. Lord Lovat and his commando brigade lands to the sound of bagpipes and capture Ouistreham, then march inland and, with the pipes still playing, link up with the tiny force at Pegasus Bridge.
On Juno beach the Canadians have a much tougher time with heavy German shelling of their landing craft - 20 out of 24 in the first wave are lost. It takes the Canadians three hours' bitter fighting to capture the town of St-Aubin-sur-Mer and crush resistance.
The English channel
From his command HQ on the battleship USS Augusta, General Omar Bradley, commander of the US landing forces, contemplates abandoning the disaster of Omaha beach. Supporting waves of US troops were about to be ordered to land on other beaches, leaving a vast hole in the centre of the invasion.
However, as he is considering this radical step, US destroyers risk beaching themselves by going close inshore to fire their 5-inch guns directly on to the German gun positions.
And on the beach, Brigadier General Norman Cota rallies his men, who have got as far as the sea wall, and encourages them to begin the assault that at last overwhelms the German defences. Cota wins a Distinguished Service Cross for getting his men to advance.
The BBC makes the first announcement that landings are taking place in northern France. In Britain people are both exhilarated and overwhelmed. Many realise this must be the long-awaited opening of the Second Front and, they hope, the beginning of the end of the war that has lasted for nearly five years.
People hover around radios all day, desperate for news. Workers in war factories stop work and sing 'God Save the King'. Churches are filled with people praying.
The BBC broadcasts a part of Allied commander General Dwight Eisenhower's speech to his men of the night before, calling the events a 'great crusade'. He said:'The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.' He had also written a short speech in case the land ings failed, taking full responsibility. Across southern Britain, strangers stop American soldiers on the street and shake their hands.
Berchtesgaden, southern Germany
Hitler wakes up. Staff at his mountain retreat had refused to rouse him when first reports of paratroop landings and a potential invasion came in through the night. When he finally does get up, he disregards the reports of an Allied invasion in Normandy.
He lunches with the new Hungarian Prime Minister, telling him: 'The news could not be better ... Now we have them [the Allied armies] where we can destroy them.'
Hitler's behaviour during the day is critical: only he has authority to launch the Panzer divisions held in strategic reserve against the landing beaches.
A row between Field Marshal Erwin Rommel and Karl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt, commander of German forces in the west, about the location of the reserves, is resolved by Hitler with a fudge: he will control the Panzer reserves, and they can go into action only on his command. In the early, critical hours of D-Day, no command is sent to the 21st Panzer Division waiting around Caen with engines running.
The Allied deception plan has worked so well that Hitler and many senior German commanders are convinced the main invasion will come in the Pas de Calais. The Panzers remain idle and more than half a million German soldiers wait in the Calais area to repulse what Hitler believes will be the real invasion.
Brecourt Manor, Normandy
In one of dozens of small-scale acts of heroism that turn the tide of D-Day, US Lieutenant Dick Winters of E Company of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne storms an enemy gun position at Brecourt Manor. The Germans have hidden four 105mm artillery guns around the edges of a field by this ancient Norman manor. From here they can fire right on to the American landing zone.
Winters's men are scattered over a vast area as a consequence of the disastrous parachute jump. He gathers 10 of them and, in a classic assault technique, routs a much larger force of 50 German paratroopers and spikes the guns. Soon he and the other paratroopers link up with the advanced units coming inland from Utah beach.
Winston Churchill interrupts House of Commons business, and speaks for 15 minutes about the capture of Rome, the first Axis capital to fall to the Allies two days earlier, before announcing the invasion. He says little about the success or failure of the day - it is too early to call - but tells a hushed House: 'This vast operation is undoubtedly the most complicated and difficult that has ever taken place.'
After pleading from von Rundstedt, Hitler finally orders the 12th SS and the Panzer Lehr Divisions from deep in France towards Normandy. It is too late to make any difference on D-Day,but they will dramatically slow the Allied break-out from Normandy. Hitler remains convinced well into July that the landings are a deception.
Caen, Normandy
Having fought their way forward from Juno beach, advance patrols of the Canadian 9th Brigade report that the road to Caen lies open. Caen was an important D-Day objective, but now plans are changing and they are refused permission to advance into the city. It will take a month of bitter fighting and the death of thousands of French civilians before the remains of Caen, flattened by bombing, are finally captured by the Allies.
La Roche-Guyon, River Seine
Rommel returns to his headquarters from six months in charge of building up the defences of the Atlantic Wall. Millions of tons of concrete and steel went into them, along with a quarter of a million mines, beach obstacles and thousands of gun nests sited at key points.
He believed the first 24 hours of the invasion would be critical and that the defenders must drive the Allies back into the sea as they struggled ashore across well-defended beaches.
But, convinced that the weather and tides were unsuitable for an invasion, he went on leave on 5 June to be with his wife at home near Stuttgart for her 50th birthday. Called back early in the morning, he spent all of D-Day driving across Germany and Occupied France, so Germany's most charismatic general missed the most important day of the war.
Like many of the 155,000 men who had been successfully landed across a 55-mile stretch of Normandy, Winters of the US 101st Airborne settled down for the night exhausted. He looked back on the past 24 hours, which for him and many others had been their baptism of fire in combat. He had been motivated not by the cause of freedom, the defeat of fascism or by the appeal of Uncle Sam or apple pie. He just did not want to let his men down on this 'day of days'. Now he prays that if he survives the war he will settle down and live the rest of his life in peace and quiet, which he does.
The beachhead is established, but the battle for Normandy will go on until mid-August, by which time 209,000 Allied soldiers, along with 240,000 Germans, will be dead or wounded.
What happened next
20 July Adolf Hitler escapes assassination attempt by army officers. He is lightly wounded by a bomb. Purge of opponents follows.
25 August General Dietrich von Choltitz, German commander in Paris, surrenders to the French 2nd Armoured Division.

So – you're walking through the mall – any mall really – doesn't matter what city you're in – and you are minding your own business, right? Window shopping down the middle of the big open area – gazing into shops and deciding if you want to go in. Looking for the nearest Starbucks. All of a sudden you're approached – no – accosted by someone in one of the center kiosk's. NO not the annoying cell phone people – they are really annoying. "I see that you have a cell phone – can I see it for a minute??" Uh – NO. Absolutely not. Why can't they leave me alone. If I wanted to change providers – wouldn't I be able to do that on my own without someone being particularly abrasive? I think so. After all – I'm not stupid – although walking past those people – I feel like it sometimes. I feel like I'm always saying, "No, No – NO!!!!" It feels really rude – and I'm not a rude person – but it's like all they can understand!
Like I said before – you are approached by someone. The "manicure" people. At least that's what we call them – for lack of a better name. You know the ones I mean – they BOLDLY come up to you and take your hand and start using this file on one of your nails before you can say, "Jiminy Cricket". My husband came home from one of these "encounters" several months ago now – it has taken him this long to recover from the experience – it so tramatised him. He came into the house looking dazed and all the color was drained from his face – looked like he had seen a ghost. I was like, "what happened to you?" He proceeded to tell me that he had had a "forced" manicure at the mall. I was incredulous and tickled all at the same time – I mean – that's insane really. I'd like to see someone try to give ME a "forced" anything! That made him laugh really hard – my point being – how exactly does one find themselves in a situation where someone can FORCE you to do something you don't want to – at the mall? Well it was most comical – UNTIL…about a month ago I was at a mall in North Seattle wasting a couple of hours while Greg had a Memorial Service that he was leading. I bought a pair of sandals at Penny's – found the Starbucks (I found that first 🙂 ) and was happily going about my business walking down – you guessed it – the CENTER of the mall. Well I was quite innocently accosted by a nice young man with a very thick Israeli accent. He was very nice and was selling skin care products which he began to demonstrate on my hand – starting with the Dead Sea Salt Scrub. "Ooo see how soft your hands are?" He said in his thick accent. I did. It was nice. They were soft after all. He proceeded to show me the whole skin care line and it was all lovely – but I wasn't going to buy anything. I told him "thank you very much for showing me" and began to walk away. Then he TURNED on me – did the Dr. Jekyll and Hyde routine – pretty creepy really – and as I repeated "No Thank you" he started to yell and draw attention to me – everyone started staring and wondering what the commotion was all about – it was really weird. He kept calling back – like a dog, "Come here, I said Come Here" Yeah. Like I'm going to do that. Yikes. How do these people make money – by embarrassing people? He doesn't know who he's dealing with, I thought to myself. It takes a lot more than that for me to be totally humiliated – I know of what I speak. I won't go back to that mall for awhile.
So a few days before we left for Vegas – Greg and I were at our local mall down at Southcenter – drinking coffee and chatting – window shopping – nothing special and were reminiscing about our bad experiences with kiosk's. He said he would never be forced again – and not even the Brazilian people will be able to make him have a "forced" Brazilian bikini wax. Well that sent me into fits of laughter – I almost spit out my coffee and everyone was staring at us wondering what could be so funny. We told our friend Mike about it on facebook and when we arrived in Vegas to see Mike and his wife Carmen – it became the standing joke of the next few days – that Mike and Greg were going to do "the male bonding" by having a Brazilian bikini wax. You had to be there. I still can't stop laughing just getting my mind wrapped around the mental picture of someone "forcing" my dear husband IN THE MALL to do a bikini wax. It's just too good.
Well I hope you have NOT had an experience like we have. And if you have – just remember – NO is a magic word – and it could be worse. They could have Brazilian bikini waxes down the center of the mall. Now wouldn't that be a treat to see? I think we will all pass.

What exactly is our educational summer institute all about? We're glad you asked. In a nutshell, creativity! We believe every classroom can and should be a creative classroom promoting creative ideas and creative thinking by students and their teacher.
You might say, "I'm not creative, I can't attend a summer workshop on creativity!" That is probably the very reason why you need to attend. You don't need to be creative to teach creatively- you just need to realize the impact creative teaching will have in your classroom and beg, borrow, or steal ideas from the teacher next-door! Let us be your teachers next-door. Ask a child to do something and they just do it! The child in your kindergarten or primary class doesn't question creativity and you shouldn't either. More importantly that feeling needs to be extended well beyond the primary classroom. Every student at any grade-level and even teachers need to be shown that they too can think creatively. We are determined to make that happen!
Why is creativity in the classroom so important? We believe in our ever changing world the need for creative thinkers will be crucial. Corporations need problem-solvers and creative thinkers are problem solvers.
The best way to become a better reader, is to read. The best way to become a better writer is to write. And, the best way to become more creative is to create! We have a wealth of ideas to share that will enable you to sneak fun and creative practices into your curriculum and meet the national standards. Come experience the hands-on activities first hand and be ready to kick-off your most exciting and creative year of teaching in the fall of 2011.
Who should attend the two day educational summer institute? Although our primary target audience is the classroom teacher of kindergarteners through fifth grade, this opportunity will benefit anyone who believes that now is the time to bring creativity back into our classrooms. Those who are paying attention to what is happening right now in education understand the importance of teaching today's students problem-solving and critical thinking skills to prepare them for the ever-changing world they will encounter in the future. Administrators, art teachers, gifted and talented instructors, librarians, special educators and even concerned parents along with anyone wanting to come learn and join in the creative play will want to attend.

Two of my four collaborators in Uganda have blogs. Two colleagues on my Liberia projects are twittering. Now this:
I am eating lunch on the patio of the Green Forest guesthouse in Weasua, Liberia, a dusty town in the north of the country. Mitch, Green Forest's caretaker, has just returned from his morning of manual labor. He holds out his empty hands and shrugs. Handsome, well-dressed, and congenitally optimistic, he smiles even as he delivers disappointing news. "No diamond today."
That is Rob Blair writing for HuffPo on our latest venture to the diamond region where we are researching ex-combatants. The full post is worth reading.

Construction workers are remodeling while the guests are away.
The 26-year-old hotel is undergoing a $1.65 million interior facelift designed to give it a fresh 21st-century look.
"It's always a challenge to keep an older facility looking fresh," said Cory Jackson Jr., president of Birmingham-based Jackson Hospitality Service, the hotel's managing partner.
Every year, money is spent on maintaining hotels, like the Capstone. Much goes into infrastructure — things like new ventilation, air conditioning, chillers and fire alarm systems, he said.
But this year, Jackson said the investment is going to something he likes to see — improvements that the public notices and gets to enjoy.
The bathrooms in all 150 guest rooms are being gutted and redone. Bathtubs are coming out. Spacious, marble and glass-enclosed showers are going in.
New commodes and
furniture-like vanities are going in, and the standard lighting and mirrors are being replaced with full-sized backlit vanity mirrors.
But perhaps a more noticeable change for the general public in Tuscaloosa will be the redone Legends Bistro, the Capstone's ground-floor restaurant.
The bistro is now closed. Construction tarps and thick plastic sheets cover its entrance. Inside, workers with jackhammers tore up the concrete floor last week. A smaller first floor meeting room has been set up for dining for hotel guests.
The Legends had a small bar with the restaurant. The remodeling will change that.
"The whole front third will be the lounge," Jackson said. It will seat about 40 people.
The doorway to the Legends will be removed as part of the renovation to create an open-seating area that flows into the Capstone's wide main corridor.
A new bar will be installed with new seating and lighting, and there will be more private seating away from the corridor. The color pattern will reflect the hotel's ties to UA — crimson, white, black and gray.
The Legends restaurant will be behind the lounge. "When the restaurant closes at 10 or 10:30 p.m., the lounge will still be open and we will have bar food (like brick-oven pizzas, burgers, chicken fingers and tapas) coming from the kitchen," said Peter Schmidt, the Capstone's director of food and beverage and its master chef.
The Legends should be ready to reopen in mid-February, and the last of the guest room remodelings will be finished in spring. The hotel remains open for business throughout the remodeling.
Jackson said the work is being done during the winter months, a slower time for business.
"We have been in the hotel business long enough to see some things naturally change, trends that change and some things that need to change," said Jackson, who noted the hotel opened a few years after he joined the company founded by his father, who is chairman and CEO of Jackson Hospitality.
The hotel's opening was the first project of which he was put in charge, he said. "That's why the Hotel Capstone has always been special for me."

So I always appreciate places that can feed me on a regular basis - get me in and out for little time and money - and feed me well.
Ramen Yamadaya is one such place, that I can hit up on my way home from work. They slow cook their tonkotsu broth - breaking down the essence in pork bones - for 20 hours - something I would never have time to do at home - and would certainly never be able to do as well as them!And they have a fantastic dinner set that leaves me with delicious leftovers sizeable enough for lunch the next day!
It's a no frills, small storefront with a handful of tables. You can choose a la carte items or pick a set.
I liked the deal for the dinner set and went with: Yamadaya Ramen (everything in it) + Fried Rice + Fried Chicken (4 pcs) for $9.95 + $4.80 = $14.75. (Students can also get an extra noodle or steamed rice for free - how's that for hospitality at Yamadaya?) My Fried Rice ($6.80 on regular menu, size difference unknown) came first: it was a deliciously fragrant and generous bowl - I almost couldn't stop eating, but I knew that I still had two more dishes to come and fried rice is easier to take home than ramen. I got a to-go box for this and had a nice and filling lunch the next day.
Next up: Karaage (Japanese style fried chicken), 4 pieces ($5.80 for 10 pieces on regular menu - so you're getting a $2.32 value for 4 pieces with the set meal). I loved the actual chicken - juicy, flavorful and fall-off-the-bone-tender, but the batter could have been more crisp and coherent - I wanted more flavor and less of a dry powdery texture. Not bad for a side dish for a couple of bucks though.
Then the centerpiece of the meal made its dramatic entrance: Yamadaya Ramen ($9.95 a la carte from regular menu). The thing to note when ordering your ramen, as it was confusing for me as a first timer - is that you can customize your bowl, to a certain extent. You pretty much choose the meats and other additions you want to your bowl (out of the four options available: "all stars", "extra chashu pork", "mouth melting big pork belly" or "deep fried huge pork loin"), AND the broth you want used.
Additions: I was drawn to the description for the Yamadaya option: "All stars topped with two kinds of chashu pork, egg and fried pork skin".
Broth: You can choose from any of the four options at the top of the menu, from basic pork to soy sauce flavored, to "rich and fatty" with black garlic oil, or spicy. I LOVED the monthly special at Ramen Jinya that has the black garlic oil, so that's the one I went for.
One taste and I was a believer. They are smart to trumpet the "20 hour tonkotsu" as their slogan - you can really taste the love that went into this in the amazing, rich pork-packed broth. And I devoured on sight, the luscious tender chashu, counterbalanced by crispy pork skin, tempered by a delicious egg with soft, creamy yolk. And the embellishments of two crisp, toasted sheets of nori. My only note is that I found the noodles just ever so slightly too chewy for my taste - I still prefer the more malleable noodles at Ramen Jinya.
In any case, loved the TWO meals I got out of Yamadaya for under $15, and will definitely be back way too much. It's hard to make a gourmet meal for party of one and make it worth my time -and I'm unfortunately not big on eating the same thing for days - once it goes into the fridge, aka black hole for leftovers, it's pretty much dead to me. But next day leftovers as tasty as Yamadaya's fried rice - I'll make a point not to forget. So, Ramen Yamadaya is such a great option for busy people like me who just want to have a quick but delicious meal, cooked with care - ready when you are, and no dishes to take care of after!
(And when the Sherman Oaks location opens in April, which I am so excited about, I will have another option close to me and be able to hit up either one on my way home from work - yes!)

Leighton Meester will not appear in the forthcoming Veronica Mars movie, the show's creator Rob Thomas has confirmed.
Thomas told the movie's Kickstarter backers on Sunday (July 14) that the Gossip Girl star cannot reprise her role as Carrie Bishop because of a scheduling conflict.
> 'Veronica Mars' movie: 5 more TV shows that need Kickstarter
"Sadly, Leighton was doing a different movie during the same time frame on the wrong coast," he said. "In the end, she was unavailable."
Thomas added that he has recast the role, hiring Andrea Estella from the band Twin Sister and explaining that he "needed a performer who could sing" to step into Meester's shoes.
"[Andrea] has an amazing voice; I can't get enough of it," he added.
Estella, who will make her major movie debut with the project, said: "I watched the Veronica Mars pilot and was totally into it! It's the exact kind of show I would get obsessed with, so it's been a bit of dream to be in a movie, especially being a messed-up rock princess.
"How could I say no? I think the VM fans are going to be very happy!"
Kristen Bell will be joined on the Veronica Mars movie by returning stars including Krysten Ritter, Ryan Hansen, Chris Lowell, Tina Majorino, Percy Daggs III, Jason Dohring, Ken Marino, Enrico Colantoni and Max Greenfield.
The film is due to be released in 2014.

Transocean Ltd. Announces 2014 Annual General Meeting; Board Recommends Dividend of $3.00 Per Share, Other Agenda Items
ZUG, SWITZERLAND-February 16, 2014-Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) (SIX: RIGN) today announced that the Board of Directors has recommended certain proposals for shareholder approval at the 2014 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders ("AGM"). The AGM, which will be open to shareholders of record as of April 29, 2014, will be held at 5 p.m., CET, on May 16, 2014, in Cham, Switzerland. Additional details on the AGM will be provided to shareholders in the company's proxy statement.
Transocean's Board of Directors is recommending that the company's shareholders approve at the AGM a U.S. dollar-denominated dividend of $3.00 per share, or approximately $1.1 billion in the aggregate (based upon the number of currently outstanding shares), out of additional paid-in capital. The Board expects that the proposed dividend will be payable in four quarterly installments, set for June 2014, September 2014, December 2014 and March 2015.
In the interest of all of its stakeholders, and in the context of a cyclical and capital-intensive industry, the Board remains focused on driving long-term value through the execution of the company's disciplined capital allocation strategy. This strategy includes maintaining a strong, flexible balance sheet and an investment grade rating on the company's debt; profitable reinvestment in the business through value-enhancing opportunities; and the sustainable distribution of excess cash to shareholders. The Board believes that the level of the proposed dividend supports these key objectives and continues to provide a basis for a sustainable dividend in the future as business conditions warrant.
In addition, the Board of Directors recommends that the company's shareholders approve, among other items:
The reduction in the maximum size of the Board of Directors to 11 members from 14;
Amendments to the company's Articles of Association to implement the Ordinance Against Excessive Compensation at Public Companies, dated November 20, 2013, effective as of January 1, 2014 (commonly known as the Minder Ordinance);
Amendment to the vote standard pursuant to the company's Articles of Association such that, in uncontested elections, the members of the Board of Directors be elected by a relative majority of the votes cast at the general meeting instead of a plurality of votes;
The re-election of Glyn A. Barker, Vanessa C. L. Chang, Frederico F. Curado, Chad Deaton, Martin B. McNamara, Samuel J. Merksamer, Edward R. Muller, Steven L. Newman, Tan Ek Kia and Ian C. Strachan, and the election of Vincent J. Intrieri as members of the Board of Directors, each for a term extending until completion of the next AGM;
The election of Ian C. Strachan as Chairman of the Board of Directors for a term extending until completion of the next AGM;
The election of Frederico F. Curado, Martin B. McNamara, Vincent J. Intrieri and Tan Ek Kia as members of the Board of Directors' compensation committee, each for a term extending until completion of the next AGM;
The re-adoption of the Board's authority to issue shares out of the company's authorized share capital, corresponding to approximately 6% of the company's currently registered share capital, for a two-year period; and
The discharge to the members of the Board of Directors and executive management from liability for activities during fiscal year 2013.

Wisconsin State Park System Hank Aaron State Trail
Named in honor of baseball legend Hank Aaron, this trail provides a continuous connection between Milwaukee's Miller Park Stadium and the Lake Michigan lakefront, as well as providing connections to famous Milwaukee landmarks such as the historic Ward Theatre on the grounds of the Historic Soldiers Home, the Wisconsin State Fair Park and the Pettit National Ice Center.
The trail extends to about 123rd St. and Bluemound Road in Brookfield, connecting to the Milwaukee County Oak Leaf Trail System and ending at the Waukesha County line. A ramp connects the trail to Hwy. 100 and Bluemound Rd. for access to the Milwaukee County Zoo.
The trail west of Miller Park stadium travels along a former rail corridor. This segment is paved with asphalt to 123rd St. and Bluemound Rd.
The trail east of Miller Park runs along the Menomonee River on both off-street and on-street segments and connects to the Marquette Soccer Fields, Lakeshore State Park, Discovery World, the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Oak Leaf Trail [exit DNR], a system of paved trails and and parkways traversing about 100 miles through Milwaukee County.
The development of the Hank Aaron State Trail has contributed to the restoration, protection and enhancement of the Menomonee River Valley. The preservation of this important environmental corridor aids in the restoration of fish and wildlife habitat and the rehabilitation of urban waterways.
Trail activities
The trail may bring a number of different users to the trail at the same time. It is important to use good trail etiquette to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all trail users.
Walking, bicycling and in-line skating
The level grade and limestone surface make this trail suitable for bicyclists, walkers, joggers and in-line skaters. Some sections of the trail are on-street, so remember to use caution.
Pet owners, please be sure to have your pet on a leash, 8 feet or shorter, at all times. You must pick up after your pet.
The vast majority of the Hank Aaron State Trail is accessible for people with disabilities. The 0.5-mile segment of trail adjacent to the Milwaukee Brewers parking lot has accessible sidewalks, allowing easy access from the parking lot to the trail. The trail gradually goes from the parking lot to the Menomonee River. Several bump-out areas near the Marquette soccer fields offer fishing access for people with disabilities.
No Hunting and trapping allowed on trail
Hunting and trapping are not allowed on the trail corridor. For more information, please see:
Miller Park area: Driving east or west on Interstate Highway 94, take exit 308B and go south on State Highway 341 (Miller Park Way). After entering on to Highway 341 move as soon as possible to the right lane and take the exit marked Miller Park. Follow around the curve and at the first set of lights turn right. At the next set of lights turn left into the Gantner parking lot. This is just south of the Klement's Sausage Haus. Park here and take the pedestrian bridge across the river. The Hank Aaron State Trail sign is at the bridge's east end. The trail is down the hill from the sign via ramps at the north and south ends of the walkway. Visitors can take Miller Parkway from the south and follow signs to the general parking area as well. There is also parking near the intersection of Canal Street and Milwaukee Road just east of the stadium or a Park & Ride lot at 76th St. just south of Highway 94 and a block north of the trail.

Road connections: There are several roadways that intersect with the rail corridor portion of the trail. These connections are at 94th Place, 76th Street, 68th Street, Hawley Road and the the Zablocki Medical Center west of Miller Park. East of the stadium, the trail continues off the rail corridor. There are several road connections as well as some segments where the route of the trail continues on roadways.
A river loop trail exists as an alternative to the parallel path along Canal Street. The river loop can be accessed from the main Hank Aaron State Trail at 25th Street or at 13th Street (Emmber Lane). This loop offers a more secluded trail along the Menomonee River, behind the buildings facing Canal Street. This trail segment also runs along the Marquette Soccer Fields.

As Tamil Nadu struggling to get back to normalcy after the worst floods it has seen in decades, actor Siddharth, who himself was one of the victims of the rains, turned out to help the stranded people in different parts of the city. The actor who is being hailed as a hero for his tireless relief efforts in the state, has painted a real and gritty picture of the devastation.
In an interview with TV channel NDTV yesterday, the actor said he was neither an opponent nor a proponent of this government. He said the floods were of such epic proportions that any state government would find the rehabilitation a long and intense process. Talking of the relief efforts in Cuddalore, he said the situation was bad, but not as bad as the social media made it out to be.
The actor says that the information on social media was often recirculated and therefore, fell behind the times. Giving an example, he said, "While today, one might send a message saying 5000 bottles of water is needed, the message will be there six days later, when one needs not water, but dustbins to dispose of the bottles."

An independent review of Bemidji State University's online master's programs in education has ranked it as one of the best buys in America for teachers and educators seeking affordable, online advanced degrees.
The "Best Online College" ranking by Get Educated ranked BSU's online masters in special education as the 15th-most affordable special education degree in the nation at $13,436. However, nine of the 14 programs ranked ahead of Bemidji State have variable rates for out-of-state tuition that are higher than in-state rates. For students not living in the state of Minnesota, Bemidji State would rank as the seventh-most affordable online special education master's program in the country.
Bemidji State's special education master's program also ranked 67th on a list of 114 "best buys" for master's degrees in a broad range of education-related fields such as education, teaching, instructional technology, education leadership and special education. Bemidji State's master's degree in education ranked 84th on that list of 114.
In a statement, Get Educated calls Bemidji State and other ranked schools "an elite group of innovators ensuring higher education access for teachers and educators in a time when college affordability has become a critical national concern."
The Get Educated Best Buy rankings are based on a comprehensive review of 367 online education masters programs offered at 129 regionally accredited colleges and universities. The award indicates an online education program has been independently reviewed and found to offer a high-quality online degree for educators and teachers at a cost that ranks below the national average. Get Educated's comprehensive national ranking survey found that average to be $16,730.62.
This year's rankings are based on a review of regionally accredited and regional candidate schools offering online degrees in the fall of 2011. The published cost is an estimated sticker price for the entire online masters degree and typically reflects the most-affordable option. Actual costs will vary by student, and factors such as transfer credits at entrance, degree-specific prerequisite requirements and financial aid availability will affect the final price, according to Get Educated.
Get Educated is a consumer group which provides fact-based comparative data on 3,000 accredited online programs as a service to help students locate the highest-quality online education programs in selected career areas. Rankings will be updated in 2014.

Dr. Jennifer Swann was a scientist who had succeeded her father on the dead-end, under-funded Project Spitfire whose aim was to create a Human eXperimental (HEX) suit until the White Event changed her life. The first was that of her boss, Philip Voight (Earth-555), that he had the government increase the funding to the Project Spitfire by a factor of 16% and to revealed to Jennifer that a superhuman had murdered his girlfriend, her father (and sheriff) and a pair of police officers. He also reveals the H.E.X suit's true target: superhumans.
While returning to her office the second life changing event occurred, she discovered her cyberpathy. Jennifer is Earth-555's Cipher, the superhuman which will let her/his people make the technological leap.
Using her new powers and the project's new lease of life Jennifer Swann quickly finished the H.E.X suit but when she first entered it she begs for it not to work as it suddenly dawns on her that she has created her own destroyer.

Like a pinch of salt in cooking, bitters help harmonize and highlight the flavors in a cocktail, and citrus season is the perfect time to add a batch of homemade grapefruit bitters to your shelf. At Seattle's Essex, Gary Abts helps oversee the bar's wide array of housemade bitters, elixirs and liqueurs. His formula for grapefruit bitters layers the bright, seasonal citrus with a host of herbs and spices.
Step 1
Peel 3 large grapefruits and 2 lemons with a channel knife or peeler.
Step 2
In a large glass jar, combine citrus zest with 2 Tbsp. of whole coriander, 3 Tbsp. of minced fresh ginger, 1 Tbsp. of dried gentian root, 1 Tbsp. of dried mint, 1 Tbsp. of dried wormwood, 1 Tbsp. of whole clove, 1 Tbsp. of dried dandelion root, 1 bottle of high-proof, neutral grain spirit (Abts uses 151-proof vodka). Cover and shake. Let sit in a cool, dark place for 3 weeks.
Step 3
Funnel through a double layer of cheesecloth into a clean glass jar, and then gather the ends of the cheesecloth to enclose the solids.
Step 4
In a measuring glass or coffee mug, steep the cheesecloth-enclosed solids in 8 oz. of hot water until cooled to room temperature.
Step 5
Discard the solids and add the steeped water to the alcohol mixture. Let stand for 5 more days, or until completely settled.
Step 6
Strain through another double layer of cheesecloth and then through the coffee filters until no longer cloudy, then transfer to tincture bottles.

|Hi! I am a brand new camera owner. I am in both the AEC industry as well as a Realtor, so this camera has a lot of crossover for us. I am wanting to get viable CAD floor plans as well as try out the service Matterport offers for generating plans but am running into 2 issues that I was hoping to get advice on.
1. Where in the workshop can I order the floor plans? This must be so obvious that I am missing it.
2. We imported the .obj into CAD and there was not a straight line to be found, so we would essentially have to draw new ones over what was imported, while losing accuracy in the process. We don't use Revit, so how can I generate better plans directly from the camera.
I have been reading a lot of threads and already learning a lot. Thanks in advance!

|Hi Alicia,
I don't know the answer to your second question, but you can find the button to order a floor plan here.
This button may not be there for you. If that is the case, go to your account settings and under the Account Tab, enable plan add-ons.

At this stage in the season, many of the roles of the Red Sox team are very well established. Many have been constants for weeks, months, and even years. However, there are a few key areas that are yet to be determined as October nears.
Primarily in the bullpen.
There is little question that the Sox have struggled mightily in the middle innings. Heath Hembree, Blaine Boyer, Matt Barnes, Robby Scott, and Fernando Abad have all been largely inconsistent this season.
It is clear that Craig Kimbrel, Addison Reed, Joe Kelly, and Brandon Workman are all locks for the upcoming postseason roster. It is also highly likely that the Red Sox will keep a starter in the bullpen, whether that be Rick Porcello, Eduardo Rodriguez, Doug Fister, or even David Price.
Enter Austin Maddox.
Maddox is a guy that many Red Sox fans may have missed pitch this season. The righty has worked in a variety of situations, but largely in low-leverage opportunities. Quietly, Maddox has not allowed a run over 9.1 innings pitched.
.@AustinMaddox10 @GatorsBB makes his MLB debut and finishes a scoreless 7th by getting Carlos Correa to pop out to center!! #Gators #RedSox pic.twitter.com/iASIhgWwyA
— James Peach (@peachy5212) June 18, 2017
While working in over 30 innings in AAA Pawtucket, Maddox compiled a 3.50 ERA. He relies greatly on the use of his changeup, demonstrating an excellent feel for the pitch in any given count. Each Red Sox reliever has a different put away pitch, but Maddox would stick out because he is the only that relies heavily on his changeup.
For example, Kimbrel relies on a knuckle-curve, Workman – curveball, Reed – slider, Kelly – fastball.
It is worth mentioning that Austin Maddox has only allowed six hits over his time spent with the Red Sox and hasn't walked a single batter. This may be one of his most appealing traits to Sox fans. Far too often it feels like we have seen the likes of Matt Barnes enter a game late and struggle to find the zone. A strike-thrower is very important, especially in the playoffs.
There is no guarantee that Maddox will make the postseason roster as he's most likely one of the long-shots. However, what he has demonstrated thus far in Boston is worth noting.
Let's be honest, if it came down to Hembree, or Maddox? I'm taking Maddox.

Fertility Drugs Do Not Increase Risk of Ovarian Cancer
Cancer Connect
According to the results of a study conducted in Denmark and published in the British Medical Journal, use of fertility drugs does not increase the risk of ovarian cancer.
The question of whether fertility drugs increase the risk of ovarian cancer has long been debated, and previous studies have reported mixed results. Some researchers have hypothesized that repeated, uninterrupted ovulation may contribute to the development of ovarian cancer; if this is true, it's possible that fertility drugs could increase ovarian cancer risk by increasing ovulation. It's also possible that some fertility drugs could have a direct carcinogenic effect on the ovary.
To evaluate the relationship between fertility drugs and risk of ovarian cancer, researchers in Denmark conducted a study among more than 54,000 women who were referred to fertility clinics between 1963 and 1998. The researchers compared the risk of ovarian cancer among the women who used fertility drugs to the risk among women who did not use fertility drugs.
The types of fertility drugs that were evaluated were gonadotropins (follicle stimulating hormone and human menopausal gonadotropins), clomifene citrate, human chorionic gonadotropins, and gonadotropin releasing hormone. Clomifene was the most commonly used drug.
After a median of 16 years of follow-up, 156 women had developed ovarian cancer. Overall, the risk of ovarian cancer was similar among women who had and had not used fertility drugs.
The researchers also analyzed the effects of fertility drugs on specific types of ovarian cancer (serous, endometrioid, mucinous, clear cell, and other). The results suggested that clomifene may increase the risk of serous cancers.
The researchers concluded that "No convincing association was found between use of fertility drugs and risk of ovarian cancer." They will continue to follow the study participants, however, because many of the women have not yet reached the peak ages for ovarian cancer.

Ayurveda, (pronounced Aa-yer-vay-da) is a holistic system of healing that originated in ancient India. According to Ayurveda, health and well-being is a state of dynamic balance. Balanced living can be achieved when we live in harmony with the natural cycles and rhythms of the Earth and our bodies.
According to Ayurveda, the universe is made up of five elements. Ayurveda believes that our bodies are microcosms of the universe with all of the elements represented in different forms. In Ayurveda, there are three main body types that exist through a combination of two elements.
Air + Ether = Vata Fire + Water = Pitta Earth + Water = Kapha
Ayurvedic Wellness Programs are custom designed for the client based on his/her body type and conditions using natural methods of prevention and self healthcare.
Ayurvedic Wellness Programs can support the health of people of all ages, particularly those who are looking to enhance their lifestyles through: stress reduction, increased mental clarity, more restful sleep, increased energy, greater sense of well-being, and improved organ function.
"Ayurveda, said to be a world medicine, is the most holistic or comprehensive medical system available…. The secret of Ayurveda's individualized healing method was preserved in India, whereas it has been lost or superseded in other cultures." *
* Swami Sada Shiva Tirtha

I'm not sure how Cat does it but she's managed to get everyone in on her quest for pets. Yeah, there were a few little issues in the beginning but they've mostly worked them out.
Yeah … noxious deja vu. There seemed something very familiar while in Feralas, couldn't quite put my finger on it … yup, I see by the date I was waiting for MoP. Sasche had the same result too, no Emerald Whelpling. After a day of that she'd had enough, maybe some of these pets were meant to be bought.
Crimson and Emerald Whelplings I'm looking at you … oh yeah, and you too Gundrak Hatchling. You're all a pain in the butt. Sasche's had enough.
Cat now has her stationed on the Timeless Isle killing crabs in the hope to spawn a Monstrous Spineclaw. It's the only way, it's never on the AH. It takes her around an hour and a half to get a spawn. Ow! Ow! Ow! But she prefers it to Feralas so she's cooperating so far.
The Death Knight is doing the Celestial Tournament every week for coins for Flawless Stones. What! Cim is helping? Unbelievable!
Cat figured beating up Garnia would be just what would appeal to the Warlock and she was right. She's camped there and the view is spectacular so no complaints so far.
Cat is … is … I have no clue. Maybe her brew of the month arrived in the mail.
Hopefully whatever she's doing is in SOME way pet acquisition related.
I am much fonder of MoP than I was of Cata but the announcement that there would be an announcement is really welcome.
I like to think of this post as a time capsule I'm sending to the me in two years. Will Cim be up there at Ruby Lake waiting for the next expansion. Will Sasche have her coveted crab? Only you know, two year older me.

Doctors used to think that sleep was a time when the body simply shut down and basically reset for the coming day. However, current research suggests that sleep is an extremely active state affecting insulin levels, metabolism, brain activity and many other body processes. Inadequate sleep can leave you feeling tired, raise your blood pressure, and place you at risk for developing obesity and diabetes. Additionally, being sleep-deprived can increase your risk of being in an accident and make you inefficient at work.
The average adult needs approximately eight hours of sleep for optimal health. Children need much more sleep as their bodies grow and mature. Teenagers need approximately eight to ten hours of sleep nightly.
Set a regular sleep pattern. As tempting as it can be to sleep in late on the weekends and stay up later than normal, you are far better off if you keep a regular sleep pattern. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day allows your body clock to set, releasing sleep promoting hormones to help you sleep better.
Pay attention to what you eat in the evening. One of the things your body does at night is process the foods you eat late in the afternoon and evening. Try to avoid eating or drinking foods that have caffeine, such as coffee, tea, chocolate and soda. Also, avoid spicy foods that can cause stomach upset or acid reflux problems.
Wind down and relax before going to bed. Watching television programs that raise your heart rate and adrenaline levels can make it hard to go to sleep. Instead of playing a heart-pumping video game, try listening to soft music or reading. By doing quiet, relaxing activities, you set the stage for your body to let you go to sleep easily.
Use Your Bed for Sleeping. Laying in bed watching television, playing video games or playing with your laptop or tablet can interfere with your sleep. Instead of relaxing into sleep, your body will be keyed up when you are in bed.
Sleep disturbance can be a symptom of depression and anxiety. If you continue to have problems with your sleep or have difficulty setting healthy sleep habits, consider talking to a professional psychologist or counsellor who can help guide you to improvements.

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld once said this:
"There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know."
So there are things that we know for sure and there are things that we know we don't know. And then we also have things that we don't know that we don't know.
The third category is what we want to uncover in an environmental audit.
When we ask the question "Why do you do it this way?" during an audit, we often get the answer: "We have always done it this way. We have been doing it this way for years",
There are two possible interpretations of this answer. The first one is that they have been doing it correctly for years and there is no problem. Or the other interpretation is that they have been doing it incorrectly for year WITHOUT knowing it. In other words, they don't know what they don't know.
For example, a waste generator in California may know that his spent solvent is a hazardous waste. He may not know exact how to manage that hazardous waste. That is not a big issue since he knows that he lacks that knowledge and he will seek assistance. But does he know that if a drum of virgin solvent is mislabeled or shows signs of deterioration, that drum of virgin solvent becomes a waste after a short period of time in accordance with 22 CCR 66261.2(f)? [see footnote]. Since the solvent is ignitable, that drum of virgin solvent will be classified as hazardous waste.
The owner of the drum of mislabelled virgin solvent is very likely someone who does not know what he does not know and he will stay that way until either an auditor or inspector points it out to him.
So it is the job of an environmental auditor to identify areas of knowledge where the facility does not know what it does not know.
That is a very good reason to have periodic environmental audits.
Come to our 2-day seminar on May 8-9, 2017 in California and learn about things you don't know you don't know.
[Footnote] 22 CCR 66261.2(f) A material is a waste if it poses a threat to human health or the environment and meets either, or both, of the following:
(1) it is mislabeled or not adequately labeled, unless the material is correctly labeled or adequately labeled within 10 days after the material is discovered to be mislabeled or inadequately labeled;
(2) it is packaged in deteriorated or damaged containers, unless the material is contained in sound or undamaged containers within 96 hours after the containers are discovered to be deteriorated or damaged.

Fight for Your Punk Squad in Free Fire's Latest Event, Spine Punk
Sony India launches the MASTER Series A9F BRAVIA OLED
Known for offering the best in class TV experience, Sony India today announced its much anticipated Master Series A9F BRAVIA OLED. Designing televisions that faithfully convey the creator's intent is Sony's passion. MASTER Series TVs meet the strict criteria of Sony's top engineers and makes beautiful images a reality. For the first time, creators can explore their imagination and see their vision reproduced at home. Being the first member of the Master Series family, the A9F BRAVIA OLED television comes with unprecedented picture quality by virtue of employing multiple proprietary technologies and solutions.
A9F BRAVIA OLED TV creates exquisite contrast, clarity and unprecedented black with over 8 million self-illuminating pixels which are precisely and individually controlled by the new Picture Processor X1™ Ultimate. This level of ultimate contrast reveals detail, depth and textures for a view that's remarkably real. The television also meets the strict criteria of top engineers and makes beautiful scenes a reality. For the first time, one can explore their imagination and see their vision being reproduced at home.
Supreme Picture Quality with 4K HDR Processor X1™ Ultimate
The A9F MASTER Series comes equipped with a newly developed, next-generation Picture Processor X1™ Ultimate. This processor plays a vital role in delivering the faithful picture in the MASTER Series.
With a long history and expertise in developing professional cameras and monitors, Sony recognizes that precision in the crafting of fine components of signal processing results in an immediately visible difference to the whole image. The X1™ Ultimate Picture Processor can intelligently detect and analyze each object in the picture through Sony's new Object-based Super Resolution mechanism for exceptional accuracy and detail. Also, the Object-based HDR remaster has been notably updated and now allows each object to be remastered individually for better depth, accurate texture and all-in-all more realistic picture.
Multi-Dimensional Sound with Acoustic Surface Audio+TM technology
BRAVIA OLED's brilliant innovations bring more than just incredible picture performance. A9F series delivers sound just like in a concert hall, it comes to the viewers from different directions with Acoustic Surface Audio+™. The improved Acoustic Surface Audio+™ gets an additional actuator in the center of the screen and an extra subwoofer channel, totaling to a 3.2 channel sound system. The additional center actuator acts just like center speakers hidden behind an AT (acoustically transparent) screen which are found in movie theaters. With the three actuators and two subwoofers facing sideways, the A9F creates a rich sound field that greatly enhances the viewing experience. The new series also has a TV Center Speaker Mode that allows the Acoustic Surface Audio+™ to be used as the center speaker of a home theater system which further enables users to hear dialogue, vocals and instruments with exceptional clarity.
Acoustic Surface Audio+™ creates a rich sound field delivered from three actuators and two subwoofers facing sideways, that immerses the viewers in a whole new entertainment experience
Netflix Calibrated Mode for an unparalleled experience
Sony has historically been working with professionals, together with Sony Pictures Entertainment- from making of a picture mode which meets the film creators' criteria in 2000 to the recent standardization of HDR and bringing them into movie creation. For MASTER series, in conjunction with Netflix, Sony is now introducing "Netflix Calibrated Mode". This unique feature was specially developed to mirror the same picture quality as a studio evaluation master for TV, in order to preserve the artists' creative vision and intent. By accessing one simple menu setting, Netflix Calibrated Mode faithfully reproduces the visuals that help bring a story to life, and entertainment enthusiasts can now enjoy this experience when watching their content on Netflix.
From 4K film, video and still cameras, to game consoles, mobile phones and TV, Sony is the only consumer electronics manufacturer capable of providing 4K solutions to consumers, straight from the lens to their living room.
Superior Contrast enhancement with Pixel Contrast Booster
The flagship A9F TV comes equipped with the Pixel Contrast Booster, which is Sony's original panel controller for OLED. It maximizes the dynamic range by widening the area of color reproduction at high brightness therefore pictures are enhanced with extra detail and texture. 8 million self-illuminating pixels and Sony-original panel controller for OLED brings in a significantly enriched visual experience with unprecedented black, authentic color, and a wide viewing angle.
Hands Free Voice Search
Hands-Free Voice Search function on A9F makes navigation really easy. The newly launched TVs have a built-in microphone that allows one to simply speak to the TV to find what user quickly wants, or one can ask it to play TV shows, movies, and more. With Android TV Hands-Free Voice Search, one is free of complicated navigation and tiresome typing.
Android TV 8.0 Oreo Operating System
Sony's Android TV enables one to explore the world of movies, music, photos, games, search, apps and more. With the launch of A9F consumers will be able to get a smarter experience with Android TVTM 8.0 Oreo that promises a much faster, easier and more intuitive interface for the consumers to use.
Soft minimalism with One Slate Design
The A9F, with its OLED display, represents a masterful fusion of the viewing and listening experience. And all this condensed into a single slate-the screen, with only a stand in the back to hold it up. Its shape and materials are imbued with softness, with a rounded bezel and fabric-covered rear panel. These characteristics allow the A9F to exude an emphatic visual presence, while also blending into its surroundings.
These newly launched models will be available across Sony Center and major electronic stores across India.

KENWOOD :: button replacement
Posted by lenik in development on April 24, 2011
I've got a broken Kenwood power supply today for a very low price, since the broken part was the "output" button, which enables the actual output. Fortunately I've got a few similar parts hanging around so I've spent about 10 minutes opening the case (10 screws just to hold the upper cover!) and disassembling the front panel, then about 15 minutes for the actual replacement and then 1.5 hours trying to put everything back, since the LEDs and buttons on the front panel did not want to go where they belong and occasionally decided to fall everywhere, on the table, on the floor.
Finally I've heard exciting "click" and I put it all together very quick wishing I would not have to open it again anytime soon. Nice power supply with three outputs — 8V, 18V and 36V, I can say. For a very-very low price.
