Greening Roanoke College's campus
Roanoke College is working toward developing a more environmentally conscious and energy efficient campus.
Roanoke College Maroons are going green. No, that's not a change in school colors - it's a change in mindset. For the last year, student groups, administrators and even campus classes have been working toward developing a more environmentally conscious college.
Some say the greening of campus is largely a grassroots effort, with the recycling largely student-driven. But a closer look shows that the College as a whole is taking steps to strengthen its commitment to becoming more energy efficient. From the technology department to the student group Earthbound and many efforts in between, Roanoke is strengthening its sustainability efforts - and picking up more supporters along the way.
Here are just a few ways the College is tackling the issue:
Improving buildings and their operations
The campus incorporated energy-saving practices into the renovation of the First-Year Complex (Mount Tabor, Shenandoah and Blue Ridge residence halls) along with the recent renovation of Trout Hall. Mark Noftsinger, vice president of business affairs, says the College also is working toward LEED standards for the current renovation of the foreign language building, Lucas Hall. LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, provides national standards for the design, construction and operation of green buildings.
The College also is in the midst of a feasibility study looking at an Environmental Management System to determine how to gain energy efficiencies, particularly in heating and cooling. This spring the College launched a new Green Advisory Committee, which involves more than 20 faculty, staff and students in prioritizing environmental efforts, says Mac Johnson '70, coordinator and senior advisor to the president and cabinet.
Many small items throughout campus are being tackled as well. Light bulbs are being changed as resources allow, and the First-Year Complex will incorporate new water heaters, lighting and water-saving toilets. The campus now uses 100 percent recycled fiber toilet paper as well as recycled rolled paper towels, and housekeeping further reduces waste by installing double-roll toilet paper dispensers. Over the last couple of years, dining services has reduced the number of napkins used just by placing them on the tables instead of for pick up with silverware. It also switched a little over a year ago to more eco-friendly products, including cups made from corn byproducts instead of plastic in the Cavern. The College also uses an independent company to collect used motor oil for recycling; a "bulb eater" grinds up old fluorescent tubes, and batteries from cars and equipment are recycled.
Energy efficiency and sustainability is not solely staff driven
Dr. Daniel Sarabia, assistant professor of sociology, says that in December his students presented a proposal on "greening" Trout Hall to President Michael Maxey, who was very supportive. Laura Scuffins '09, editor of the student newspaper, The Brackety-Ack, was part of that environmental sociology class. "It has the potential to change the ways students live on campus. I had no idea I would be part of something so noteworthy," she says.
Recycling across campus
In late February, students helped sponsor the "Roanoke College Green Event 2008," which filled Olin Gallery with displays on everything from recycling and composting to making use of local resources and eco-friendly products. A few weeks later, the College dedicated its monthly All-Staff session on efforts to go green, covering topics from mountaintop removal issues to recycling and other eco-friendly efforts.
Several practical suggestions proposed by Sarabia's class are already being implemented at Trout Hall, such as purchasing recycled printer and copier paper and having a recycling effort for the building. "Perhaps others across campus will also be encouraged," Sarabia says.
"One of the most important aspects of going green is simply the amount of energy that will be saved," says Lord. "This is not only good for the environment, but it is also something that will be monetarily beneficial in the long run."
Recycling efforts also include recent grounds maintenance initiatives, such as taking material from pruned shrubs to a shredder to make mulch; making cardboard recycling dumpsters available for students on Move-In Weekend; using the wood from dead or damaged trees for wood stove fuel, and removing fall leaves with a shredder and taking them to a compost pile. Housekeeping has banned chlorine bleach in all its cleaning operations and is looking into "green cleaning" defined by LEED standards as well as conducting audits of chemical toxicity in its cleaners.
Elsewhere on campus, a small group of environmental science majors started several efforts. Under the guidance of Dr. Jon Cawley, associate professor of biology, they began a seed bank, over the years have done historic tree planting and more recently learned to graft apple trees. The seniors even took their apple trees with them upon graduation.
Tackling hi-tech and more
Network and system specialist Stephen McTigue explains that technology is one of the largest potential consumers of electrical power anywhere. "It's the increased demand for computer use that's driving the increase in electrical demands across the country," he says. "We have all these computer systems running 24 hours a day for the network, so what we're doing is improving our systems by utilizing virtual technology." The new software allows virtualization so that one physical server can now run multiple instances of operating systems. It has allowed the networks to decrease in space, run much cooler and draw less power.
"Our goal is to virtualize 75 percent of the network," explains McTigue. From a service standpoint, the servers are faster; from an environmental standpoint, they cost less in energy. By virtualizing only 25 computer servers, the College is producing less carbon dioxide - an estimated savings of what would be emitted by 62 cars a year or countered by planting 1,235 trees, he says.
Dr. Matthew Fleenor, of the math/computer science/physics department, warns that the issues will become more real "for future leaders who are at Roanoke College and going to come to Roanoke College. Going green is a way of conserving our resources so we have more to share with other countries and people. I think it's an act of compassion."
Students also will benefit from course expansion as Dr. Rachel Collins, a new assistant professor and ecologist, offers community ecology next spring. This course will study how species interact with each other and the environment. Collins says there was a need to offer upper-level courses in diverse areas within biology and that this class will be helpful to environmental science students as well as those who want to go on to graduate school in ecology and evolution.
As with any launch, there are many goals. On that wish list is assistant professor of biology Dr. DorothyBelle Poli's desire for an arboretum.
"This is something that not only a plant biology class would enjoy and use to learn from, but novice naturalists and general passersby take interest in," she says. "Having this resource would allow people to gain insight into the world around them while they take advantage of the stress reduction/relaxation that comes from this natural beauty - this is what a liberal arts education is all about."

Walled Lake teacher, MEA member named Michigan Teacher of the Year
Melody Arabo, a third grade teacher at Walled Lake's Keith Elementary School and a member of the Walled Lake Education Association, was named the 2014-15 Michigan Teacher of the Year by State Superintendent Mike Flanagan at an afternoon assembly today. Arabo, a teacher at Keith for 12 years, was chosen from 238 applicants statewide.
The announcement came as a complete surprise to her. Melody thought Superintendent Flanagan was at her school to celebrate Keith Elementary School's 50th anniversary this year.
Upon being named, Arabo said, "Next to being with my students, being a voice for Michigan teachers is one of the most important things I can do. I hope I can live up to the expectation."
Melody did not start out wanting to be a teacher. She planned on going into marketing and advertising when she took a paraprofessional position at one of Walled Lake's elementary schools. It only took a month for her to realize how much she loved working with students one-on-one and knowing that she could make a difference. Melody changed her mind about her future career and graduated with a degree in elementary education from MSU. She also has a master's degree in Curriculum and Teaching from MSU.
Melody came back to Walled Lake to teach at Keith where she is described by her colleague, Julianne Shavely, a Keith kindergarten teacher, as "dedicated, a positive influence on students, her colleagues and the community, and on top of all the best practices for teaching children."
An alumna of the Galileo Leadership Academy, Arabo is currently one of five Michigan teachers selected by the NEA-sponsored Master Teacher Project, an elite program giving 96 of the nation's master teachers a chance to share their best practices with other teachers across the country.
Flanagan congratulated Arabo on being named Teacher of the Year by saying, "Melody is a transformative teacher and a dynamic example of our Michigan teachers. Her child-centered approach to learning ensures she is meeting the needs of all her students. We look forward to her continued contributions to teaching and learning."
Melody's influence extends beyond just her colleagues. It was a parent, Edie Schwartz, who nominated Arabo for the award. Schwartz credited her with motivating her son to read.
Schwartz said, "She has a magical way of making learning fun for kids. You have to see her with students. Mrs. Arabo not only helped my son build confidence in reading, but he is now able to read."
That sentiment is echoed by Melody's principal, Phillip Pittman, "Walking into Melody's classroom, you feel the excitement students have for learning. Melody puts students and their learning at the center of everything she does with differentiated instruction. She is truly a treasure."
As Michigan Teacher of the Year, Melody will have a seat at the State Board of Education meetings and have the ear of policymakers both in Michigan and Washington. She will also have the chance to meet with Governor Snyder and President Obama.
For now, Melody said, "I feel my greatest accomplishment is being named to represent the state of Michigan as an effective teacher preparing future citizens of the world. This is such a great honor to be a positive voice for education and all teachers in Michigan. We hear so much negativity. I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to show the public that Michigan has great schools and dedicated teachers."

About a month ago, we got word that the Alameda Sports Cards & Comics shop at 1412 Park Street planned its own obituary — for the unique business it's shared with the area for the past 24 years. Now, it's got a new neighborhood and a bright future, says owner Patty.
The business is relocating to 1515 Webster Street, where it will be located across from the new Pacific Pinball Museum, at 1510 Webster, and near the Lucky Ju Ju pinball arcade. "It's a good fit for us," said Patty.
Due to issues regarding its lease and rental playments, the cards and comics business will finish up on Park Street on December 24. It should reopen on Webster Street on January 5, just after a fresh order or comics has been delivered.
"Everything is on schedule," Patty explained. She's restored the space for the shop and let the 3,000-plus customers on her e-mail list know about the new address. "We got the right space," she added.

"I love this dish idea. I change almost every recipe so I do Italian seasoned ground turkey (that way you actually don't need to add spices and it's got lots of flavor) I add minced garlic when browning the turkey and veggies. I also use a whole bag of mozzarella cheese on top and I only bake for like 25 minutes and then take the lid off for 10 more minutes. I also over cook so all the ingredients are doubled in my bake. But everyone in my house loves this dish!!!"

From The TimesMay 23, 2009
What is an author to do when every other word he writes will be written for the Chancellor of the Exchequer?
Sir, I am very definitely a high-rate taxpayer, although in self-defence, I must admit I have become so simply by writing a lot of fairly harmless books over a very long time rather than by, for example, ripping the heart out of the financial system through unbridled greed.
So I am, therefore, somewhat peeved to find that, now, slightly more than every other word I write will be written for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who will undoubtedly waste the money on computers that don't work and other people's duck shelters.
I have been enormously buoyed up, though, by hearing from journalists and other pundits that "the rich won't end up paying the 50 per cent income tax because their smart accountants will find a way around it". When I put this to my own accountant, a senior member of a reputable London firm, he laughed and said: "Unless you want to go and live abroad for a very long time, or associate with some extremely unsavoury people, or invest in risky tax schemes, then for someone like you there is really nothing that can be done."
I assume he knows his stuff and the tax authorities know theirs, so why is this bland assertion repeated so regularly?

PS. I have no intention whatsoever of moving to a firm of disreputable accountants.

This is an adventure for me, I've never tried this before, lets see how it goes:----------
6:05 - The glad handing begins, the hand sanitizer business doesn't need a stimulus
6:10 - Is it me or is purple the color of the night? It's like they're trying to say something...hmm
6:13 - The challenges were ALWAYS bigger than party, it took the Donkeys getting their heads from being removed from themselves to figure that out.
6:14 - Trying to remember which Alinsky rule involves telling the power class what they want to hear...
6:17 - Our economy is prosperous but for your sides ideas on spreading weath, but yes, we can't "win the future" by standing still" like the government did in the gulf last summer.
6:22 - Boehner looks bored, Biden looks riveted...at least he nods his head like he is...masking confusion? I don't see a dictionary, so maybe.
6:25 - It's not just needing a market for clean energy, there needs to be profitiablity. Of course we need R&D to get there, but lets not put the cart before the Prius.
6:27 - Okay, he's right on that. As someone who did academic competition in high school he's absolutely right. Let's start celebrating academic success, but not with Biden.
6:30 - Agreed again, we need to work on math, so kids can come to Congress and help them understand how a budget should work.
6:34 - Oh boy, here we go with educating illegals. They pledge allegiance to our flag. Thats not our flag I saw them march with when they demanded amnesty 3 years ago.
6:36 - Yeah, Asia has a better infrastructure, do their union workers have better contracts? Probably! :-/
6:38 - Oh yeah, no pat downs for trains. HAHAHAHAHA! Really funny huh Congress. TSA doesn't have to touch YOUR pee pees!
6:42 - Another way to simplify the tax system is to just hand everything over to the state, no loopholes needed to close there.
6:45 - China's taking notes on the bragging about regulating credit card companies
6:48 - Yes Mr. President, ObamaCare can be improved, all you have to do is READ it to find out how. He gets to paint a rosy picture, thats his right, but.....wait....OH MAN now he wants to talk about the debt?!?!?...thats how he segues from ObamaCare?!?!?
6:52 - I can't wait for Paul Ryan to set the president straight on the cost of ObamaCare like Barney Frank at a convention of men impersonating Helen Thomas
6:53 - So far, the only center I'm seeing in Obama is the attention he has.
6:55 - For a second there I thought he was going to say his favorite example of government inefficiency was the two party system...
6:58 - When did you know our standing has been restored Barack? When that pianist played anti-American propaganda for you and the Chinese president in the White House last week?
7:00 - Yes American Muslims are our countrymen, but can we agree to not think of the Tea Party when cars are rigged with bombs...Mayor Bloomturd?
7:01 - Sticks and stones....but words will never nuke me...when the worlds psycho's realize START is just a piece of paper what will we hide behind? What will the rhetoric be then....did he really just use never with these people regarding nukes?
7:07 - Sounds like its about to rap up soon...the teleprompters are still looking in good shape...that's the one thing I was worried about most
7:08 - The left wouldn't trade places with any other nation, not even Europe...they don't want to pay for the movers.
7:09 - Boehner's tears from Obama's salute to him are the only thing I can take away from the last hour that has any semblance of reality.
7:12 - Noticing how stories about America's success, especially with helping the Chilean miners, had nothing to do with government intervention.
7:13 - Thanks to the last election yes, our union is stronger, now go slap some more hands!
7:14 - Mr. President! Mr. President! Sign my program! Can you make it out to e-Bay?

In early May the racing world lost one of its legendary characters and great minds when Henry "Smokey" Yunick died at age 77 at his home in Daytona Beach, Florida. Known for his trademark corncob pipe and what looked like a chopped, 10-gallon cowboy hat, Smokey was usually found at the track decked out in working whites with the logo of his garage on the back. That "Best Damn Garage in Town" motto caused considerable consternation in the '50s for using "rough" language. Born in Tennessee, Smokey was an Air Force bomber pilot in World War II.
It is believed he got his nickname from his motorcycle's smoking engine. Inducted into the first-ever class of the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1990, Smokey's penchant for bending the rules often kept him at odds with NASCAR founder Bill France, Sr. However, that didn't stop NASCAR from crowning him Mechanic of the Year twice in his long career. The noted rules-bender said he'd never do something illegal, but if it wasn't in the rulebook, it was fair game. When early NASCAR rules banned porting and polishing the cylinder heads, Smokey figured out that it was not illegal to paint them until they were smooth. Another example was the ban on bellypans designed to smooth out the air flowing under the car. Smokey's famous '66 Chevelle had the stock floorpans flattened and smoothed out to act as bellypans; that was until the rules were changed to stipulate not doing precisely that.
Smokey did just about everything but drive the cars he worked on. He was an engine builder, crew chief, chief mechanic, and owner. He was quickly noticed as the engine builder of one of the famous Hudson Hornets. Working with almost all the brands used in NASCAR, he helped develop not only Chevy with its small-block, which was introduced in 1955, but Pontiac as well with its 287ci Strato Streak, released the following year. When the small-block Chevy came out, Smokey was quick to use it successfully for racing, having only to "blueprint" the engine's parts.
Smokey is often credited with coming up with the idea of angle plug heads, stressing their value long before Chevy provided the modification. The success of the NASCAR Buick V-6 used in Busch Grand National racing is also often credited to Smokey, who helped to do a total redesign on the powerplant. Not only did he bring Chevy back into NASCAR in 1967, he brought Curtis Turner as the driver. Turner was banned by NASCAR for trying to start a driver's union, but won the pole with Smokey's Chevelle.
Smokey owned and built cars for both the Indy 500 and NASCAR circuits (including a 1960 win at Indy with Jim Ratham driving and wins at NASCAR's Daytona 500) with some of best drivers in the history books. Curtis Turner, Mario Andretti, Junior Johnson, A.J. Foyt, and others drove Smokey' s cars, which were often painted his familiar gold and black with a simple No.22 or No.13. It was Fireball Roberts who shared a record with Smokey for having the fastest car from 1959 to 1962 (minus just one race). One of his Indy cars resembled a motorcycle with a side car which used a pod-like device on the left for the driver to sit in. Engineer extraordinare, tuner, and car builder Smokey Yunick quickly became a living legend. His no-nonsense attitude was a breath of fresh air for some and a frustration for competitors. But regardless of the legacy he left, there's no one to contest that the motorsports world was better off with machines coming out of that Best Damn Garage in Town.
One of the best Smokey Yunick stories involves this very car. Smokey always said it was a great tale, just not true, yet we still have to wonder. While going through inspection, NASCAR officials took the fuel cell out of the car for its usual look over. Upon finishing the inspection, the officials told him 10 things wrong with the car. Smokey was upset and already knew they weren't going to let him race the car. He reportedly threw the disconnected fuel cell into the back seat and climbed into the car. He then said, "Make it 11," and fired the Chevy up and drove back to his shop with the fuel cell disconnected. That's just how it was with Smokey; the only thing you knew for certain was that his cars would consistently run up front.

Suku Sinero Kiko
Hairstyles are often complex signifiers of identity and social status, particularly for the Yoruba people. They can indicate a woman's age, her occupation, and, in some contexts, her religious or political power. Many hairdos are also tied to specific ceremonies, such as a wedding or the naming ceremony of a child. Working over three decades, J. D. 'Okhai Ojeikere undertook a photographic series systematically documenting the rich variety of Nigerian hairstyles. He sought to capture the diversity and beauty of the hairdos he witnessed in the streets of cities and villages, in marketplaces and offices, and at parties, celebrations, and festivals around the country. Most of the photographs, like Fro Fro and Suku Sinero Kiko, were taken from behind, revealing and emphasizing the abstract and sculptural aspects of the hairdos.

Measurements:5" heel
Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 3 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by killakat not made for walkin' I immediately fell in love with this shoes when I saw them. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8 but had to get a size 7. Although they are stunning shoes, their lack of a platform make them very uncomfortable for walking any distance. I wear heels often and have a pretty high tolerance to the stress on my feet, but these were pretty brutal. Great shoes for a date or any kind of event where you have a seat, but good luck walking small distances. 1.20.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by SheKat sexy stunning These shoes are absolutely gorgeous. I wore them out just one night and the compliments kept coming. They are very sexy and will go with just about any outfit. I'm a size 6 and they fit true to size. Downfall is that the ball of the shoe is flat which makes it extremely uncomfortable. But of course, I will remedy that with the right foot petal. These are a keeper. 1.18.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lovejeans Beautiful shoe I loved these the moment I saw them! They seem to run large though. I ordered a 7 , my normal size and they are at least a half size too big. Maybe even an entire size. Love them though and sad to send back.... 1.5.2013

Inov-8 Race Pro 4
My go-to short distance, sub 2 hour, trail runner pack. This has been a great purchase. I have a variety of running packs I use dependent on where and how long I intend to run. This pack is great for sub 2 hour runs. The fit is superb. It cinches tight and does not jiggle nor loosen during my runs. It is very comfortable to wear. The capacity is as advertised. Internally the bag fits my first aid kit, spare socks, tissues, and waterproof jacket. The external bungee straps I put my ultralight… Full review
Mountainsmith Kinetic II
My go-to hip pack. Napolean Dynamite would be proud. For bumming around outside of town, I love this pack. Big enough to hold snacks, camera, and drinks. It's comfortable, easy to work with and holds up. Overall it's great. Fit: Snug and ergonomic Comfort: Padded, good Capacity: Just enough for what you need for a day Organization and accessibility: I wish the drink pockets were just a tad deeper so it could hold store bought water bottles a bit more secure. If I transfer my drinks into the classic… Full review
Nathan Mirage Pak
This pack is perfect for the minimalist at heart, but beware of bounce with a smartphone. I'd buy it again even with its shortcomings. This pack is all you need when you don't need much. I like to run with a car key, cell phone and some cash/card. For anything long enough to need more stuff, I carry a different pack. The Mirage is wonderfully expandable and will hold odd shaped items and much larger things than you might imagine. It weighs nearly nothing and dries out very quickly. It has a built-in… Full review
Mountainsmith Tour TLS
Some people might think a fanny pack will make you look like a nerd. But its durability and comfort make the Mountainsmith Tour TLS pack a great choice for day hikes, cross country skiing, and using as a man-purse (or lady purse) around town. Fit: This fanny lumbar pack will fit most adults. The heavier you are, the less coverage you'll get from the light padding on the hipbelt. I have a 32 inch waist, and I might get nervous if I was skinnier than a 30 inch waist. Mountainsmith says it will work… Full review
Salomon XT Twin Belt
in my opinion, this pack is more suitable for hiking than running. The first time I ran with the Salomon XT Twin belt on I had to alter my arm swing because my elbows kept hitting off the pack due to the bottles being placed on an angle. I am not sure if my short stature (I am 5'4") and small hip width had anything to do with it. My fiancé tried it on and didn't experience the same problem, so I would imagine the design of the pack is geared toward men. I even think I could get used to the sloshing… Full review
Mountainsmith Day TLS
My top choice day pack. This is my go-to pack unless I need to bring extra clothing. It is the largest MS fanny pack I believe and can hold rain gear, lunch, and two quart size water bottles. The elastic will hold a shedded jacket or sweatshirt on the outside. Useful interior and outside pockets. More comfortable to wear with the optional Strapettes, but still very little weight on shoulders. I am 6'4" and the strapettes will hit their stops if I relax them and then you have to take the pack… Full review
Mountainsmith Day
Super solid design, with plenty of space for my frisbee, books, and bike tools. I added the extra padded waist belt to make it more stable and comfortable, which I highly recommend. I've had mine for years — totally bombproof design, and a great warranty, just in case! I bought this bigger bag so I could fit a frisbee, which it does comfortably. They have only continued to improve on the design over the years. Full review
Salomon Active Insulated Belt
A great hydration option for a light trip in the backcountry. The Salomon Active Insulated Belt is my go-to for hydration on short winter excursions. I bought it for nordic skiing, but have found that I also use it backcountry skiing and snowshoeing. I love having a belt in the winter, as opposed to a small pack, as it keeps my shoulders free from fatigue. They become tired enough from poling as it is. It was a new purchase for me this winter season, and I am looking forward to giving it a try… Full review
Mountainsmith Tour
Perfect for day hikes. Great size. I was debating between this and the larger Day model. I am glad I went with the Tour. It can store plenty of gear for day hikes and is still compact enough. Everything I was looking for. I place the shoulder strap pad on my neck and wrap the strap around the front of my shoulders, kind of like a backpack. With it just barely snugged it takes some weight off the hips with heavy loads. Full review

French cheeses are among the most buttery, aromatic delicacies in the world. Our diverse trio comes from affineur Rodolphe Le Meunier, who ages the cheese in his Loire Valley facility to the perfect ripeness.
Cremeux de Citeaux: A triple-crème cow's milk cheese featuring an incredibly creamy, thick consistency, this buttery beauty has a bouquet of toasted nuts, mushrooms and truffles, and is delightful paired with fruity white wines or Champagne.
Fourme d'Ambert: This milky, dense, pasteurized blue cow's milk cheese is laced with seductive notes of heavy cream. Its bold flavor matches well with a full-bodied Pinot Noir or a Côtes du Rhône.
Jeune Autize: A wedge of raw goat's milk cheese with a washed rind made in small batches by a single farmer. Earthy and pungent, with a dense, supple texture and mild, buttery flavor with hints of goat's milk and lemon. It's perfect for the cheese novice, and pairs nicely with crisp white wines.

The new A6 finally receives Audi's revised powertrain layout -- first seen in the A5 -- which sees the engine placed slightly rearward. The engine is still located completely ahead of the front-wheel center line, but a switch to a 40/60 rear-biased all-wheel-drive system bestows the A6 with handling that belies its front-heavy layout. Partly constructed of aluminum, the new A6 weighs about 80 fewer pounds than its predecessor and its aerodynamics have been improved, contributing to the car's impressive fuel economy numbers. A three-inch wheelbase stretch shortens the A6's overhangs, and a substantial 2.9-inch increase in width improves not only the car's stance but also its interior room. And the interior is where the A6 really impresses -- with its beautifully designed and executed shapes, as well as whizbang gadgetry. The navigation system can fuse Google Earth images into the maps it displays, a mobile internet hot spot for up to eight devices can be set up, and the MMI system uses a touch pad on the center console that can read your handwriting. The A6 is available with a head-up display and numerous active safety systems, including lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, blind-spot warning, active cruise control, and Audi Pre-Sense Plus, which activates protective measures if it detects an imminent collision. Given the A6's prodigious speed potential (the V-6 can accelerate to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds), safety technologies are welcome.

This movie was one that surprised me when I watched it. After having written Cage off as a failed experiment, this film made me yern for the days when I was actually excited about the release of a film he was in.
And I can't hate on Face/Off as it is a guilty pleasure of mine. Castor and Pollux Troy are two of my favorite villainous brothers from the 1997 genre of action films.

Gunnar Nelson 'going to end the Justin Edwards situation' on Feb. 16 in London - MMAmania.com
If you didn't know undefeated (10-0-1) Gunnar Nelson before his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) debut last September, you, as well as the rest of the promotion's welterweight division, definitely took notice of the Icelandic grappler, after.
Gunnar blitzed through DaMarques Johnson at UFC on FUEL TV 5: "Struve vs. Miocic" in Nottingham, England, submitting him in the very first round in what was a catchweight bout of 183 pounds due to "Darkness" coming in overweight.
The victory marked Nelson's fifth straight first-round submission win and his ninth first-round finish overall -- with the other coming in the second stanza. So, if you do the math, all of his victories have come swiftly and decisively.
Eat your heart out, Ronda Rousey.
That's quite an impressive resume for the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC) veteran who's spent the majority of his mixed martial arts (MMA) career competing overseas. Now that he's made it to the big show, he has no plans on letting up and will continue to aim for the finish as early as possible.
It is, after all, part of his "self-defense" strategy.
"Gunni" explains to UFC.com:
Nelson will look to keep his momentum going as he takes on Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 13 alum Justin Edwards on Feb. 16, 2013 at UFC on FUEL TV 7: "Barao vs. MacDonald.""I do push for finishes. My thoughts toward this sport have always been the same: self-defense is number one. People ask me, If it is about self-defense then why do you have to finish your opponents so early?' That is self-defense. The more time I spend in there with him, the more time I'm giving him to figure me out and beat me. That's always been my strategy. I've always been, I don't want to say 'aggressive,' but when you're in there and it is 'go time,' you don't want to give anything up. In training, you give so much up because you're playing. But in there, you push the fight more because you don't want to leave it to the judges and you don't want to spend more time in there than you need."
And the mission still remains the same, finish the fight:
With the UFC's welterweight division becoming suddenly overcrowded with talent and potential title contenders, Gunnar, little by little, will be forcing his way into the mix should he continue his winning ways, sooner rather than later"I know the fans like an exciting fight and I do believe I will always try to put that on naturally. I do believe the best way for me to fight is an exciting fight because I will push for the finish and I'm constantly working on the ways to finish fights, to be safe in that way. Not to be safe by pushing your opponent away from you, but safe to end the situation. They should expect me trying to end the situation."
Especially if he continues to roll through his foes with seemingless effort.

I'm not sure, I think the stock monitor will simply recalibrate itself, once you've gone a few charge cycles, my s3 is completely stock (but that's because I never needed more than it had to offer, I use most of it, email, planner, maps etc...)
You could try disabling it, or uninstalling it, but if you paid for it, please make sure you can redownload before you do.
Do you still get 3 days standby? (or linger, if like me, you turn it off when asleep?)

Ok so as of late my new Galaxy S3's battery status has been showing some rather short times (see image) do some Samsung batteries go bad early or is this an issue with something else?

iRobot getting into the game...
Well, it looks like iRobot is getting into the robot building arena - a recent announcement from this year's CES shows that iRobot will be releasing a new robot called Create, similar in shape to the iRoomba but with the vacuum attachments (brushes and fluid container) removed. Users will be able to connect devices like cameras and robotic arms - some purchasable from iRobot and others probably home-brew.
Not much more news yet, and I post this only because I think we all see that the home robotics field is growing fast and everyone wants to get in... maybe if enough of us request it, they'll include BlueTooth so our NXT bots can interact with the iRobot device.

Oh wow...
Yes, blue tooth is a must, and IR would not be terribly difficult to implement either. I see three serial outputs, (I think) and one serial input (presumably that means it's programmable?) No USB though, what's with that?

Looks cool, but seems too expensive to me when you consider that for just $60 more you could get an NXT which has a lot more power and expandability.

Hi Maniac
I believe the circular feature at the top is an IR interface.
Look at these pictures, the top right hand corner of the green module definitely has a square USB connector.
No sign of Bluetooth though.

Ah, I see it now, I was looking for a standard, or NXT style (what style is that called) USB port. But now that I see that....yay.
- Jan 9, 2007, 10:27:00 AM
- Tony Naggs said...
Hi Maniac
The connector on the NXT is a 'series B' socket. (The PC end is a 'series A', there also mini-A, mini-B, mini-AB and coming soon a recently approved micro- series.) The one on the iRobot is the same as the NXT but without the metal surround. You can see it more clearly here.

i thought u could sense colors with the light sensor, but this is really cool. and u even created a block for it!!
where can i buy one??

- Nxt Mindstorms Wiki said...
Specs from their site. http://www.irobot.com/create/explore
"The Command Module contains an 8-bit, 20 MHz (Atmel ATMega 168) microcontroller enabling full programmability of iRobot Create's motors, lights, sounds, and sensor readings. The Command Module plugs into the Create robot's cargo bay connector and provides on-board control with programs you write in C or C++. It has four DB-9 expansion ports for adding your own hardware. Includes Command Module CD (containing 3 example programs and the compiler), USB cable, and Quick Start Guide. Full documentation available online."

My mistake, it's bigger than I thought it would be, hence why I thought that the USB was a...very small one. I honestly don't know the name, just that it is much smaller than the NXT's. But since that is not the case, thank you for supplying the link to the detail pics.
- Jan 10, 2007, 6:49:00 AM
You can add a Bluetooth module.
This is of more interest to the pure robotics crowd than the LEGO crowd, obviously.

I told my sweetheart I wanted to go to the City of "Luv", for Valentine's Day. His loud and long laughter led me to believe I would not be going to Paris, sooo, what's a girl (I use that word very loosely) to do? Create an Evening in Paris tablescape, of course. Now I'm not sayin' that a tablescape can replace a trip to Paris, but I did have fun doing it, and the grands said it was the best trip to Paris they had ever had (we won't dwell on the fact that none of my grands have ever been to Paris).
Now I know what you're saying to yourself --"Did Laurie really hang a shower curtain behind her table?" Well, like I said before, what's a
girl old woman to do when she'd really rather be in Paris? Hang a shower curtain, of course!
When I found this shower curtain marked down, I knew I had to have it, because it's probably the closest I'll ever come to getting back to Paris (I went when I was in high school – yes! the Eiffel Tower was there way back then.)
Recently, when I went to an estate sale (the one where I fell and injured my hand), I found some really cute little French plates (they may have made the hand injury worth it). They are scenes from French operas, and, of course, I had to have them.
Aren't they just soooo charming? I also knew, when I spotted this cute cloche on line, that I NEEDED it!
Just look at all of the French images on every side of this cloche.
I decorated the Eiffel Tower with little clip-on vials of flowers. These vials are made to clip onto a outdoor table umbrella.
The pretty Eiffel Tower "Evening in Paris" pictures are the creation of the talented Karen Harvey Cox at A Scrapbook of Inspiration. I used a Paris-themed towel to catch any wine drips.
This is not French. It's from Williams Sonoma, and I just think it's kind of a handy thing to have around. In the next photo, I'm serving cherry tarts from this heavy-duty cake stand.
I moved the tarts to a different server and turned this cake stand topsey turvey, and it became a punch bowl! Who thinks up this stuff?
More Paris-themed plates.
And a romantic evening in Paris wouldn't be complete without some kisses. I've used these little tin Paris souvenirs for everything from salt cellars to spoon rests, but they are serving up kisses on this table.
At another estate sale, I purchased "love" handkerchiefs (yeah, I go to a lot of estate sales). I used the hankies as napkins. I am so sorry, but my mind has gone blank. I purchased the pretty lace napkin covers from a blog (it's a blog I love to visit, but I have racked my brain, and I can't remember the name of that blog). If I purchased these from your blog, please remember I'm an old woman, and forgive me. If you'll leave me a reminder, I'll amend this post to add your blog name.
I'm having a Valentine party linkup on February 10th. Anyone who links to that post will have a chance to win one of the following prizes:
A combination cake stand/punch bowl;
A set of four black and white Paris-themed dessert/appetizer plates;
A Paris-themed cloche.
All you have to do to be eligible to win a prize is link a Valentine or love-related post to the Valentine party on February 10th.
That Paris shower curtain has the best scenes from Paris. Just look at this one!
Thank you for sharing my evening in Paris. I hope you'll be here for the par-tay on the 10th of February. Laurie

Within minutes of talking to Nicky Johnson, one gets the feeling this lady really loves American cars. This wouldn't be terribly unusual, if not for the fact that Ms. Johnson lives in Streatham, England, where Yankee sports machines are about as common as refrigerated beer. Maybe it's congenital. Nicky tells us how, when she was a kid in the '70s, she used to pester her mother to drive back home over Chelsea Bridge so she could see the American cars doing the Chelsea Cruise. "Yeah, that's right," she says, shaking her head. "I used to drive my mother mad, as I made her drive really slowly so I could see all the cars. I'd even shout out the model names."
"I've always been into cars and even played with them as a kid," she tells us. "Me mum used to buy me a Matchbox toy car every week as a treat. Don't laugh, but I used to keep them all in their little boxes. To me, they were their garages." Didn't she have a Barbie, like all little girls? [Please address all angry letters directly to the author-Ed.] "I did have a Barbie," she says indignantly, "but only because she had a pink Corvette convertible!"
Nicky has always appreciated the lines of sports cars, particular those of American extraction. So, for her, the Corvette Stingray was and is the epitome of all her desires. "I love my sports cars, and the Stingray has all the qualities that I like. It's truly beautiful, and I always knew I would get one of them one day," she says. "So, when I saw this one advertised on eBay, I couldn't believe it. Finally it dawned on me that I was going to get the car of my dreams!"
We asked Nicky how she came across her Stingray. "Well, my father is ill, and he wanted to do something for me," she explains. "So he gave me a sum of money to buy a car. Everybody had expected me to buy something 'normal'," she says, making a face. "Then one day I was on my boyfriend's computer looking at some of his favorite sites-he's an American-car fan, too-when I came across some sites selling Corvettes. There were red ones, black ones, and blue ones for sale, and they all looked good. Then, this buckskin-colored one popped up, and I just knew from the moment I saw it I wanted it."
Nicky then set about getting to know "her" car. Having made contact with the owner of the car, she was confident in what the ad had said. "The guy wrote down everything," she says. "He didn't hide anything. He even put down small paint blemishes and that there was a small tear in the lower door panel that no one would have even seen!"
Nicky made a deal with the owner, and soon the Corvette was heading for Streatham. "He even arranged the shipping for me and saved me a few hundred quid," she says happily. When the Stingray arrived at the docks, Nicky was there waiting for it. She fell in love with the car the moment it hit the tarmac. "It was even better than the guy had described," she says.
Like many Corvettes of its vintage, Nicky's Stingray came loaded with comfort-and-convenience options. "It's got power steering, electric windows, air conditioning, and the like. The only thing it doesn't have is central locking," she tells us. "One thing I really love about the car is the pinstriping. I couldn't see it on the [computer] screen, so when I saw it for the first time I went, 'Wow'!"
The engine is the base, 180hp L48 and is all original, save for the valve covers. "They're actually MT covers, which I've been told recently are quite sought after," she says. "I like the fact that my Stingray is standard and hasn't been heavily modified," she adds, with the conviction of someone who knows what she wants.
So how did Nicky's family and friends react to her new American traveling companion? "My dad was totally shocked, but my mum took it in her stride," she laughs. "Mum knew that I was obsessed with American cars-and especially the Stingray-when I was a kid. Looking back on it, I must have been a nightmare. Every time I saw an American car I'd shout, 'There's another one!'"

FORT WALTON BEACH — One man was killed and another was wounded Thursday afternoon during a shooting in the parking lot at Spanish Villa Condominiums on Wright Parkway.
The men drove from the condo complex to Sullivan Street near West Audrey Drive, where their blue Saturn sedan stopped on the side of the road.

VIDEO: View a video of the crime scenes >>
VIDEO: Reader-submitted video of the chopper landing >>
Fort Walton Beach police were called to the scene about 3:15 p.m. The medical examiner's office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement joined them later.
The investigation was continuing Thursday night. The victims' identities were not announced and Police Chief Ted Litschauer said investigators were developing suspects.
Chrisken Stone said she was about to turn left onto Sullivan from East Audrey Drive when she watched the Saturn drive by. The windows on the left side had been shot out and the driver was bleeding, she said.
She drove over to the car with her children in the back of her vehicle. She rolled down her window and asked the driver if he needed help.
"It was just instinct," Stone said.
The driver asked her to call 911.
It was only when she approached the Saturn that she realized there was a passenger in the car. The passenger was already dead, Stone said.
The driver had been shot through the abdomen, Stone said. He also had been shot in the arm and the bullet was still in the wound.
She grabbed a white towel from her vehicle. He helped her apply pressure to the abdomen wound as she covered his arm.
"He wouldn't have lived if I wasn't there," Stone said matter-of-factly. "There were massive amounts of blood."
She said she kept him awake as they waited for emergency crews. He told her that he had been giving someone a ride and would never do that again.
The driver later told police he was 20 years old and the passenger was 18 years old, Stone said.
Stone quickly filled out a police report. As rescuers tended to the driver, she said a police officer walked to her car and asked her children if they knew what their mother had done.
"Yeah. She just saved a life," Stone said her daughter replied.
The wounded driver was airlifted from the parking lot of Liza Jackson Preparatory School to a Pensacola hospital, according to Fort Walton Beach firefighters. His condition was unknown.
Residents gathered near the car on Sullivan Street and watched as investigation unfold.
The neighborhood is relatively quiet, with the exception of an occasional car accident or bear sighting, said Patrice Brown, who lives on Sullivan.
"It's a little close to home," Brown said. "You always hear about stuff and I always think about those people who say it's a little close to home.
"I guess it's another feeling when it's close to your home. Makes you a little shaky."

A Universe from Nothing with Lawrence Krauss
by AMNH on
The question "Why is there something rather than nothing?" has been asked for millennia by people curious about the universe's origins. Today, exciting scientific advances provide new insight into this cosmological mystery. In this recent podcast, join Dr. Lawrence Krauss, professor of physics at Arizona State University, in a mind-bending trip back to the beginning of the beginning and the end of the end.
Hayden Planetarium Director Neil deGrasse Tyson introduces Dr. Krauss's talk, which was recorded at the Museum on January 23, 2012.
Picturing Science: Capturing Coral's Glow
by AMNH on
Stony corals are living animals that are only two cell layers thick, but over time, their calcium carbonate skeletons can form massive limestone islands. Some contain fluorescent molecules, proteins in their tissue that absorb light from an external source and emit light back at different wavelengths. Marine biologist David Gruber uses a painstaking method of underwater photography to get striking images of fluorescent corals, including images of moon coral and staghorn coral currently on display in the exhibition Picturing Science: Museum Scientists and Imaging Technologies.
"You shine a specific wavelength of light to stimulate the protein—usually blue or green—and the corals emit back in otherworldly greens and reds," explains Gruber, a research associate in the Museum's Division of Invertebrate Zoology, "You have to photograph underwater in the dark at night with specially-filtered strobes because you're only interested in the light emitted by the corals and other reef-dwelling organisms."
Gruber photographed these corals in the northern Red Sea in Eilat, Israel, in May 2010, as part of his research into the patterns and functions of fluorescent proteins. Fluorescent proteins have been found to be useful tools in studying AIDS, Altzheimer's, cancer, and other diseases, as well as in basic biological research.
A Historical Tour of Aphrodisiacs with Francine Segan
by AMNH on
In honor of the approaching Valentine's Day, the Museum will host food historian Francine Segan on Wednesday, February 8, for Aphrodisiacs: Myth or Reality?, featuring stories and tastings of foods considered to have seductive properties throughout time. Below, Segan unravels the histories behind a few food items thought to have a strong connection to passion.
Why were oysters, scallops, mussels, and other types of seafood hailed as aphrodisiacs?
Francine Segan: Aphrodisiacs were named for Aphrodite, the goddess of love. According to ancient Greek legend, Aphrodite was born from the sea and arrived onshore transported on either an oyster or scallop shell. So oysters and all sorts of shellfish were thought to be aphrodisiacs.
Dimitar Sasselov on the Exoplanet Revolution
by AMNH on
In the past year, scientists have discovered an astounding number of planets beyond our solar system. On Monday, February 6, Harvard astronomer Dimitar Sasselov will discuss these "exoplanets" and the possibility of discovering life beyond Earth at February's Frontiers in Astrophysics lecture. Sasselov recently answered a few questions about the search for other worlds.
Have discoveries of exoplanets within the last few months changed any of our views on the potential for life beyond our solar system?

Feb 07, 2015
Accommodation and facilities:
Nice place, nice pool, nice staff, good breakfast. The room was simple and noisy but we knew it in advance because it had windows to the street. We stayed in an economy room and the building was strangely located somehow further away from the rest of the resort with lot of stairs to the 2nd floor. But all-in-all it was ok, we would stay in that resort again, probably in a more expensive room.

Hatten zuerst den Standart room für ca 40 € die Nacht gebucht. Das Zimmer die reinste Katastrophe. Kakerlake, ein Kondom im Mistkübel. Das Bad einfach nur ranzig. Das Bett sehr hart. Muffeliger Geruch. Altes Gebäude. Nach Reklamation bekamen wir ein hochwertigeres Zimmer mit 13 € Aufpreis/Nacht. Trotzdem nicht überzeugend. Bett hart Möbel alt. Kein Safe weit und breit. Kasten für Kleider war auch ne Frechheit. Es einzig positive war der Pool und die Lage direkt am schönen Chaweng Strand. Diese Unterkunft würde ich nicht mehr buchen

Management rude as nothing we ve ever met in Thailand. Very over-priced compared to what you get. Cleaning service was absolutely awful, if you get your room cleaned, it s 7 pm. Breakfast was not edible and it took two hours to get coffee and eggs and the staff was amazingly unorganised and rude as well. Unless you re there for the party on the beach, don t stay in this hotel. And the pool has never been cleaned....
Reservation service:
You could seriously go for an update on your website. If I search for a hotel, I obviously is not interested in all the hotels that are sold out so why is it showing? And also, when clicking on a hotel that looks available, it isn t actually available when you click on the book button. That s quite time consuming and not very user friendly.

Accommodation and facilities:
We stayed in one of the Cottages at the Palm Island Hotel on Samui and whilst the actual accommodation was quite nice the service was well below par for the price that we were paying in High Season. There are many many faults with this hotel which were particularly relevant as we d just come from an amazing experience in Ao Nang to this place. Upon arrival we had found that our bed sheets were laid dirty with some kind of oil, then we requested to have them changed once we d noticed at 8pm at night but they didn t have any appropriately sized sheets and we were to use a smaller one that moved around... if this was the only problem with the service we probably would have shrugged it off... The next morning we got up for breakfast and it was terribly unorganised, no one was able to take orders quickly, we were left waiting for a breakfast order for 30 mins from sitting down... once we finally had a menu (one that we had self found) we were told that the hotel guests had only one choice if it was part of their room cost - a greasy american breakfast! not what we had planned and if we wanted anything else we had to pay... we were however able to order juice and coffee for free... none of which ever turned up before the end of the meal despite asking for it numerous times. We gave up and just went and had a coffee in our room. This went on for the whole time we stayed there. I can go on with a list of other faults... but in brief below are some more issues we had, particulary more with housekeeping; * Dirty towels taken away from room and then not replaced despite asking for them several times - we were without towels for a day & a half * Free drinking water not provided on half the days * Coffee/soap not replenished most days * New years Eve our rooms were not made up until 4pm and that is because we complained and got them made New Years Day we had a knock at our door at 8:30am to service our room and when we did not answer linen and towels were dumped on the outside seat for us to self service our room... when we notified the staff again before midday that it we would like our room made up - they just pointed at the fresh linen and pretty much mimed that we should do it ourself and then pressed the lock button and closed the door on us... Never again. Not a great place and would use my $$ else where on Samui.

Best beach ever! perfect! The bungalows seemed old, we only got towels for indoor or outdoor. Not enough sunchairs on the beach, and the breakfast was very poor. But the food was good and worth its price. The pool got out of order when we arrived, and they didn t manage to fix it in a couple of days. But noone used it anyway. We would definately go back!

A nice resort right on Chaweng Beach at the quieter end away from some of the more bouncing resorts! Decent enough, rooms were clean but the whole place could probably do with a lick of paint and a minor tarting up. TV didn t work which isn t really a problem but don t advertise that there is one and have one in the room if it doesn t work! One member of staff on the morning shift was fairly surly and consistently unhelpful but the rest were fine. Fairly small pool and not too many sun loungers but it is right on the beach so not too much to worry about!
