Cirque du Soleil and Bell Media Launch New Media Company
Cirque du Soleil is teaming up with Bell Media to create a new company called Cirque du Soleil Media.
This new company, to be headed by Jacques Méthé, will develop Quebec-based media content, not only for television and film, but for digital and gaming platforms as well, according to an announcement made Tuesday morning by Bell Media. Méthé is an experienced film and television producer who has been with the Cirque since 2005. He served as an executive producer on the new 3D film, Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away.
In celebration of the launch, Bell Media has produced a television special, E-Talk Presents: Cirque du Soleil, Worlds Away which will air Friday at 7:30 p.m. on CTV, to coincide with the nation-wide release of the film (which has already been playing Quebec cinemas since Dec. 7.) The special will be aired again on Thursday, Dec. 27 at 11:30 p.m. (ET) on E!.

These were supposed to be cupcakes until I tasted my blueberry puree and found it a little bland. I was pretty sure baking wouldn't magically release more blueberry flavour so I decided to make muffins instead, since additional fruit is added. I made Cook's Country's low fat blueberry muffins, although I don't know if I would call these low in fat because there was still 1 tsp of butter per muffin. Maybe if compared to a Costco muffin then sure, but then again, those are gigantic! I wasn't actually planning on making a low fat recipe. All I wanted was something that wasn't overly rich and used milk/buttermilk as their liquid so I could substitute the blueberry puree for some of it. Too bad it led to a greyish batter, but other than that, these were really good! I also creamed the butter and sugar for a lighter texture because that's how I like them. You can always melt the butter for a quicker and denser muffin.
Cook's Country Low-Fat Blueberry Muffins
1 cup blueberries (I used 1 & 1/4 cups)
2 cups plus 1 Tbl. all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
4 Tbls. unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk
1 teaspoon grated zest and 2 teaspoons juice 1 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk eggs and brown sugar together in medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Gradually whisk in melted butter, then buttermilk, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla until well blended. Fold into dry mixture with rubber spatula (a few streaks of flour should remain).
Toss blueberries with remaining tablespoon flour in small bowl. Gently fold blueberries into batter, being careful not to break berries.
Distribute batter in muffin tin and bake until light golden brown and toothpick or skewer inserted into center of muffin comes out clean, 25 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking.

Despite the name, more than high-end pizzas are offered at Pie's Gourmet Pizza Bistro in Reynoldsburg. Some of the menu takes a careful reading, such as the fact that the house salad ($8) contains bacon smoked in-house - a benefit that is buried in the description.
Despite the name, more than high-end pizzas are offered at Pie�s Gourmet Pizza Bistro in Reynoldsburg.
Some of the menu takes a careful reading, such as the fact that the house salad ($8) contains bacon smoked in-house � a benefit that is buried in the description.
The chunky pieces of bacon have body and contribute to the high quality of the salad, which includes designer lettuces, onion, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas and an innocuous white cheese. It is all dressed with properly done balsamic vinaigrette.
The large collection of small plates includes Brussels sprouts ($7 for a generous quantity) that deserve their designation as being �crispy fried.� A drizzle of aioli seems superfluous, given the well-developed flavor of the sprouts.
Pie�s has good Yukon Gold potato fries ($6 for a large serving) that taste as if they�re house-cut. The menu promises, and the kitchen delivers, an aromatic truffle-seasoned salt.
Although not needed for fries of this quality, a large cruet of ketchup is given a bold, spicy seasoning.
The small-plate lineup also includes ravioli ($15) made on-site from flour and roasted red pepper and filled with smoked mozzarella.
The firm, well-made ravioli have a small-but-effective dressing of tomato sauce that doesn�t taste commercially made.
One of the several sliders among the small plates is filled with chicken that has been smoked in-house ($8). It is sandwiched between decent mini-buns along with fried shallots and a Gouda-style cheese.
A remarkable number of menu items, including the pizzas, contain house-made ingredients.
For instance, margherita pizza ($10) uses mozzarella made on the premises. It is under a bed of sliced, real-tasting tomatoes decorated with fresh basil leaves.
As good as those ingredients may be, they�re nothing without a matching crust. Pie�s pizza crust is clearly house-made to high standards.
It colors up well in the oven, developing plenty of yeast-raised, bready aromas and flavors and is properly chewy inside and crisp outside.
Good Italian sausage is used on the finocchiona pizza ($11). Its moderate level of spice pairs well with fontina and Parmesan-style cheeses decorated with fresh basil. Like the margherita pizza, it benefits immensely from the high-quality crust and an accurate baking.
The dessert lineup includes house-made ice creams ($5 for three scoops). They have good texture, with flavors that have tended to be laid-back.
The mocha and the coconut-chocolate flavors have been the most impressive.
Bread pudding ($9, including a scoop of the coconut-chocolate ice cream) has had an appealing fried quality on its crusty top, a yeasty-sweet flavor.
Despite being anointed with butterscotch sauce, the dessert isn�t overly rich.
The brownie ($5), also house-made, is densely chocolaty and chewy.
The wine list is low-priced, with most bottles hovering near the $18 mark.
That includes a 2012 California Pinot Noir under the Josh Cellars brand, which unfortunately suffers from aggressive fruitiness � as if some just-pressed zinfandel grapes had been thrown in the bottle at the last minute.
Service has been friendly but not careful, with ordering mistakes and none of the promised happy-hour pricing. Keep an eye on things.

How can I determine the post-judgment interest rates?
The post-judgment interest rate is the weekly average one-year constant maturity Treasury yield for the calendar week preceding the date of entry of the judgment. Effective December 21, 2000, the rate of interest that may be added to a judgment, subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. §3612, 28 U.S.C. §1961, and 40 U.S.C. §258(e)(1), shall be equal to the weekly average 1-year constant maturity Treasury yield.
To obtain the most recent rate, the Federal Reserve provides a table of Selected Interest Rates. The applicable rate may be found by scrolling down to the section entitled: "US government securities - Treasury constant maturities - 1-year." The most recent rate is found under the column headed "Week Ending ____." Historical rate data as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System are available at: http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/H15/data.htm.

Adrian Faulkner, author of The Four Realms, is visiting the virtual offices today. Please welcome him.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Describe yourself in 140 characters or less.
[Adrian Faulkner] Ex-pop culture journalist turned Urban Fantasy writer. Lover of books, movies, TV and games. Good sense of humour. Complete & utter geek.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Can you tell us a little about The Four Realms?
[Adrian Faulkner] The story really starts with a dead body. When the novel starts we see half-vampire, Darwin and his friend and fallen angel, Cassidy running along the streets of London after Darwin smells the blood of the corpse. Cassidy's had him surviving on rat's blood for a while now to stop him killing, and it's left Darwin gaunt and sickly. So Darwin sees a freshly dead corpse as a way to get a proper meal and keep Cassidy happy. It's on the corpse they discover a notebook in a mysterious language.
It's not long before Maureen Summerglass, an 82 year old gatekeeper between worlds, learns of the death of one of the wizards of the Friary of New Salisbury whilst visiting London. Suspecting a cover up, she breaks a lifetime of protocol and sneaks through the gateway in her cellar into New Salisbury hoping to find answers.
Darwin soon finds that someone else is after the notebook and willing to wipe out every last vampire if necessary. Maureen discovers danger in a world that is unlike that she has been lead to believe but instead one of fast food, black market goods and Tuk Tuks.
Darwin tries desperately to escape the mysterious Mr West and his cohorts, trying to save the vampire survivors in the process. Maureen, meanwhile, discovers that she might just be the first human female to be able to do magic; which is going to come in handy as people are trying to kill her as well.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How did you come up with the concept and the characters for the story?
[Adrian Faulkner] The concept for the land of Venefasia where the city of New Salisbury lies was born out of watching a news report on a remote Amazon tribe and seeing one of the kids wearing a Nike T-Shirt. It got me thinking how if the wardrobe from CS Lewis's Narnia novels existed, it wouldn't be used for wartime evacuees to go to tea with Fauns but for smuggling black market goods, weapons and drugs. As a result, the world of Venefasia has a bit more of a third world / Iron curtain feel than the typical medieval basis of a lot of fantasy.
At the time I first started work on The Four Realms, Buffy and as a result the kick ass female was really prevalent. I wanted to do something different and as a result decided there weren't enough elderly protagonists. From that Maureen was pretty much there from day one. She's been a load of fun to write.
Darwin and Cassidy took a bit more time. Originally they were a bit more "Lone wolf and cub" – an elderly warrior / protector and young innocent. As time went by their ages came closer together. Darwin became a bit more of an idealistic young man, and Cassidy became a lot more fun and kooky. She's probably the most difficult to write as it's hard to keep her light and fun with everything Darwin and her go through.
Mr West was the character who brought it together though. Who and what he is… well, that's a bit of a spoiler but I'm hoping readers will like it and get an idea of the direction I'd like to take the story in through future novels.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three words best describe Darwin?
[Adrian Faulkner] "lack of identity" – He's half vampire and the vampire council has always viewed him as a bit of a freak. But at the same time it's hard to identify as human when you need blood to survive. Cassidy wants to bring more of the humanity out of him but that puts him in conflict with his desire to be seen as an equal by his vampire brethren.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Name one thing Maureen won't leave the house without.
[Adrian Faulkner] Probably her handbag. It would hold her keys, her purse and about a hundred tissues
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things will you never find in Darwin's pockets?
[Adrian Faulkner] At the start of the book both he and Cassidy are homeless, so I guess a mobile cell phone, keys and money would be obvious answers.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is Maureen's greatest regret?
[Adrian Faulkner] I think over the course of the novel, we see it's her dedication to the Friary. She's served them unquestioningly since the mantle of gatekeeper was passed to her by her mother. And as we get to see, they haven't been too good at looking after her. Her house is a bit ramshackled. She dare not let anyone into the house in case they find the big oak door in the cellar. So she suffers with no heating, in fear of her nosey neighbours, only to discover that the Friary is thinking of closing her gateway and throwing her out on the streets.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What are your greatest creative influences?
[Adrian Faulkner] I have three. The first is Star Wars which just unleashed my imagination. It was like an explosion going off in my head when I first saw it. The second was the GI Joe comic book. On the surface it was a stupid toy tie-in but writer Larry Hama didn't let that stop him from writing some fantastic characters. I remember looking up from one issue back in the 80s / early 90s and thinking to myself "Good story is character driven." It was a revelation at the time. The final influence is Lord of the Rings, a book so detailed, so imaginative, it still blows my mind.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things do you need in order to write?
[Adrian Faulkner] A computer. I have been known to write draft chapters in longhand when they've been particularly tricky but mostly I like to type them directly into the computer
Diet Coke. This is my poison of choice. I drink way too much of the stuff.
Music. I find it difficult to write without music and own a ridiculous number of orchestral scores from films, television and games.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is the last book that you read that knocked your socks off?
[Adrian Faulkner] Probably Lou Morgan's Blood and Feathers. I know Lou so thought I had a good idea of what to expect, but sometimes a friend's book can surprise you in a really good way. Thoroughly enjoyed it
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If you had to pick one book that turned you on to reading, which would it be?
[Adrian Faulkner] Probably CS Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I'd been a big reader before I read that at eight years old but that book was the one that made me want to be a writer. Looking back now, I can see all the faults, but even so I still have a fondness for it.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What do you like to do when you aren't writing?
[Adrian Faulkner] In my spare time, I'm a very active Geocacher. This is the hobby where you go hunting for hidden Tupperware in the countryside armed only with a GPS. It's a lot of fun and is a good source of exercise. That said, I've been so busy with the book, I've hardly had time to do any these past few months
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How can readers connect with you?
[Adrian Faulkner] I have my own website over at www.adrianfaulkner.com where I blog and give updates. I'm also fairly active on Twitter as @figures
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Thank you!
The Four Realms is available now! Please click the link to order a digital copy from Amazon.
About the book
Half-vampire Darwin stumbles across a corpse on the streets of London, and in a pocket discovers a notebook in a mysterious language. Divided between human ethics and vampire bloodlust, Darwin finds himself both condemner and saviour of a race who've never considered him one of their own. Now, he must try and lead the survivors to sanctuary in New Salisbury before Mr West completes his genocide of the vampires in his quest to obtain the book…
Maureen Summerglass is eighty-two years old, and a prisoner in her ramshackle home. She is afraid to let people enter in case they discover the oak door in her cellar. Threatened with homelessness and retirement from her job as a gatekeeper between worlds, Maureen breaks protocol when the death of a close friend is covered up… and enters the city of New Salisbury to search for his missing notebook. There, she discovers a world unlike the one of myth and fairy tale she imagined, and instead one of black market economies, brand names and tuk tuks. As she investigates, not only is she in extreme danger, but discovers she may be the first human female able to use magic…
"An imaginative foray into a dark world of danger and adventure. Hang onto your hat!" – Gail Z. Martin, author of The Dread

/ Harvest in the midst of drought: Healthy soil delivers for Ohio farmer
Loading Tree...
NRCS Unveils National Effort to Promote Healthy Soil Benefits
CARROLL, Ohio, Oct. 11, 2012 – Natural Resources Conservation Service Chief Dave White today visited a family-owned farm in Ohio to announce the start of a U.S. Department of Agriculture effort meant to highlight the benefits of improving and maintaining America's soil.
"This initiative will help our farmers meet current and future demands for American-grown agriculture by encouraging good soil and natural resources practices that are beneficial to their operations," said White. "We understand that soils and farms vary across the country, so our job is to provide farmers the very best information available to meet their unique needs and help their business thrive."
White visited the farm of David Brandt, who experienced a successful harvest despite extreme weather and challenging growing conditions. Good soil conditions and management practices contributed to the surprising yield, though little precipitation fell across central Ohio over the summer.
Natural Resources Conservation Service's (NRCS) awareness and education effort features farmers from communities in numerous states—Ohio, Indiana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Montana and Kansas—where growers are increasingly interested in how improved soil health can benefit their operations. The agency is studying successes and identifying lessons learned in these states to share with farmers in other states.
For example, Brandt promotes soil health by eliminating plowing and by mixing cover crops. This has significantly reduced the effort he puts into his crops. His soil has been found to be rich in spongy organic matter that feeds crops and holds more than its own weight in water. This additional moisture retention is believed to be the basis for Brandt's success in the face of the current drought.
Awareness and education components of NRCS's soil health initiative will include fact sheets, brochures, videos, web, radio and social media announcements, as well as local field days. To "Unlock the Secrets in the Soil," go to NRCS's soil health page or contact your local NRCS office.
The "Unlock the Secrets in the Soil" effort builds on President Obama's America's Great Outdoors initiative, which fosters a 21st century approach to conservation that responds to the priorities of the American people. During the past three years, USDA's conservation agencies, the U.S. Forest Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Farm Service Agency, have worked with more than half a million farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to enroll record acres in conservation programs, have targeted conservation dollars to locally-driven conservation initiatives and have worked to increase conservation and restoration activities on the 193 million acre National Forest system.

It should be noted of course that revealing one's ipod playlists is SO PERSONAL! I mean, this shit is like beyond exposing your diary and your hookups you know what I mean? So consider yourselves lucky (ha!) that I am letting you all into my inner sanctum.
You can read into the themes as much or as little as you want to...
NEXT LEVZ IN TWENTYELEVZ: It is essential to make a playlist for the beginning of the year. I guess it was late last year that I spent an entire evening downloading every.single. Madonna song I ever liked. We all know that Ray of Light is a great album, but do we really remember that it's such a great album? 'Cause it is. Anyways, at the beginning of the year playlists always veer towards the cheerful and hopeful because you are all excited about the prospect of a new year that hasn't been tainted by horrible decisions. This year I also rediscovered Cibo Matto and it pains me that it took me this long to get into them, but it was just one of those bands that although totally in my radar, just slipped my mind. Their cover of Nirvana's About A Girl is as different as possible from the original and it's still SO GOOD! It makes me instantly happy whenever I listen to it.
All other songs are more or less a hodge-podge of perennial classics that take turns making appearances in the multiple soundtracks of my life for the past 10 or 15 years or whatever. Except Fleetwood Mac, I guess, that was definitely a new addition to this year, but the reason why they even made it here in the first place is because last year I got really into CFCF and they had a SICK cover of Big Love that was the thing that made me breakdown and then download all my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs. It's weird how some of the songs that I thought were sung by a girl were actually sung by Lindsey Buckingham or whatever, but that's another story probs–though not a very interesting one.
Ps. did you guys get into Liars' Sisterworld? It came out last year too but fuck, it is SO good. I love them so much and I forget that I love them but I've completely lost my shit over every one of their records (except maybe the self-titled one that came out before this one?). I wish I was making music like them, I've seen them play a few times, but the best was definitely back when They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top came out like forever ago, and they played a Making Time party in Philly and we all just danced and I think we went home straight after that cause I wasn't even old enough to drink and I wasn't into doing drugs and well, that's kinda the Making Time steez... or at least it was back then.
MARZONCE: I guess the weather is getting nice by now so I'm trying to get pumped up for my walks to and from the xoJane offices. House Jam was my, er, jam, in 2009 or whenever it is that that record came out but I discovered the re-mix this year and it made me fall in love with the song again if that's even possible. These are all tried and true classics that I love. Placebo is such a good band and I totally forget how much I loved them back in high school. I pretty much listened to Without You I'm Nothing EVERY DAY for YEARS, even during study hall at school. I was totally obsessed with Brian Molko's voice and that record is just so moody and weird you know? Essential teen listening. This is still a totally fun playlist so don't let Placebo fool you, Los Amantes is a GEM of a song about old school suave gentleman callers that never fails to cheer me up and I mean, there's some Gwen Stefani in there too so obvz this is a pre-party situation.
SUMMER 2011: Summer playlists are generally 100% non-stop party shenanigans. The weather is nice out, I'm going home drunk more than usual and when that happens all I wanna do is sing and dance my heart out on the train. I really went ALL OUT with this playlist too, like, usually they're about 6 songs long, which is just enough to get me to and from work, but I meant business. Everything here is awesome. Foo Fighters put out a record this year and I got SO into it which hadn't happened in like, 10 years probably because who the fuck cared after anything that came out There's Nothing Left To Lose? I listened to that record on solid repeat for a couple of months so it's no surprising that one of their songs made it to the playlist. Arlandria is def my favorite song off Wasting Light, but putting it between Madonna and Screaming Females is one of the best um, selections I did all year. That Screaming Females album, Castle Talk, is actually all sorts of aces, I haven't been able to catch them live yet but I'm dying to because the singer totally WAILS and SHREDS on the guitar. Her voice is really something else.
Now the Mariah Carey situation... that really came out of left field. I was never, ever into Mariah and I guess at some point this year that song got in my head and I watched the video on You Tube–which is 10 kinds of amazing and was filmed in Puerto Rico incidentally–and I got over my adolescent punk rock anti-Mariah bullshit and just grooved on this song because it is GREAT. And anytime Gang Gang Dance come out with a record I freak out and immediately fall in love with one track and of course that track was Mindkilla. BEST DANCE JAM OF THE YEAR for sure, and I say that even knowing how much I obsessed over Rihanna's Only Girl. But that song came out last year and as much as I'm still dying to dance to it at a club or wherever the hell people dance to these days, the BEST part of the summer was definitely being the int basement at Tammany Hall with SO many people I loved and then my friend John played Mindkilla and we all danced in a circle and sang along and it was just EPIC.
The Spice Girls make a second appearance and yet I'm totally not embarrassed by it.
SEPT 2011: My obsession with Dave Grohl keeps going on strong after 14 years and that fucking song by Wavvvvvvvves is SO good and not only because it's about Dave but it was really the perfect late summer jam. It's gross that there are TWO Foo Fighters songs on this playlist and even GROSSER that they are in the same order as in the record because that's a total mix no-no, but they sounded SO good back to back and originally I only wanted to put White Limo on it but I kept expecting Arlandria to come one every time the song ended so I just had to put it in.
I'm borderline ashamed of this, but not enough to hide it from you. We are all friends now. More Fiona Apple as per usual (because this year it became evident that I cannot live without her in my life) and more Gang Gang Dance because they rule. It's weird that The Strokes keep making cameos. They're just good filler I guess.
FALL FALL FALL 2011: I guess this is a late September-early October mix? It must've overlapped with the September playlist because I usually don't go repeating songs from one playlist directly into another (although maybe since I had already broken that rule with Arlandria, I was like eeeeh fuck it). This playlist has SUCH good mellow vibez, and as a matter of fact I think I maybe uploaded it into 8tracks and shared it with y'all because I was so proud of it. Remember when Sean Lennon came out with Into the Sun and it was really good and he wasn't weirdly douchy like he is now? Ok, granted, I don't know if he's actually douchy because I don't know the dude, but this is strictly appearance-wise. I'm sure the fact that he was chilling (dating?) one of the chicks from Cibo Matto is why he was totally rad. I am glad that after 5 years of not being able to listen to Electrelane's The Power Out (too many ex memories) I was able to RECLAIM it because this record is GOOD! I guess this was also the year I was all up on Placebo, really can't understand how come Brick Shithouse is on here AGAIN, but it flows nicely with the rest of the shit so whatever. I dunno, generally I think the first like 4 or 5 songs in a playlist are the best ones and the last ones are just me trying to make the playlist last an entire ride to work so it won't repeat.
NOV 2011: Last month I started feeling a little homesick because I haven't been home since July 2010 so this is a playlist of all my rad high school jams (veering a bit before and after that as well). Well, not that Shakira & Alejandro Sanz thing, but I already wrote about how much I love that song so I won't go into it again here. I will forever regret not seeing Los Enanitos Verdes and Cafe Tacuba when they played the amphitheater in PR in 7th grade but I was too young to go and well, that's my loss. Neither one of these songs are their most popular but they really captured my mood. Tropico de Cancer is one of my favorite songs off of Cafe Tacuba's epic Re. God, that is such a good record. It's so good that sometimes it bums me out that I can't share it with my non-Spanish speaking friends because although music is universal and whatnot, their lyrics and the way what they are singing about is tied together with the type of music they are playing is such an intrinsic part of the record and no matter how much I explain what's going on in the songs it's really not just the same.
Soda Stereo is one of those bands that all of Latin America LOVES and I'm super ashamed that it took me this long to download one of their records (although I think an ex-boyfriend made me a tape with one of their records once?), anyways, this was the first time that I really got into it and they are GOOD. This song is supposed to be one of their singles and I'm sure any Soda Stereo fan would be like "pshhh this other song from the record is SO much better!" but this one was the first one that caught me and so it stays.
DEC 2011: And so we wrap the year up with possibly my most favorite playlist, although I'm probably just saying that because it appeals to my current frame of mind–and because I've been listening to it on repeat for the past 24 hours. I wish I was exaggerating about that. You're not surprised that it starts out with Fiona Apple, but it's actually kind of a big deal because even though Extraordinary Machine came out 5 or so years ago, I was never really able to get into it until two weeks ago. It was too... show-tune-y? They all felt like they were numbers in a musical that I wasn't too keen on but something clicked in my brain and I started just listening to it every morning. Plus, like the ridiculous Fiona fangirl that I am, THESE LYRICS SPEAK TO ME!! She is feeling what I am feeling, she is what I wish my brain could tell me. Fuck, I love her.
It didn't take much for me to get into Wild Flag either, and after seeing them twice this year I think this is probably my favorite song on their record. I really need to get more into Helium because I do LOVE Mary Timony's voice. I was obsessed with a Helium song once, it was in the soundtrack to this movie All Over Me that totally changed my life back in high school. Ok, so 2012 resolution: listen to more Helium.
The Police, well, I don't know how they ended up there. Synchronicity is such a CRAZY record though. I remember my mom used to listen to it a lot when I was little and it always freaked me out because it's so sparse and the lyrics are about cats and dinosaurs and god knows what else Sting was smoking, but I guess at some point in the last couple months I thought of it and downloaded it and really dug it. Remember when Alanis covered King of Pain? My love for this song is totally unrelated to that, I promise.
I guess this is the part where I reveal my love for early Sheryl Crow. I am also not ashamed of this. She was totally bad-ass before she decided to soak up the sun and lighten up or whatever. Close out the year with some more Cibo Matto; this time Moonchild. This song got played a lot on the alt-rock radio station back in PR and I was always really stoked about that because, who the fuck knew who Cibo Matto was in that island? (The answer is no one). That Terry song by Anika that I wrote about a couple days ago tops it all off. I'm fairly pleased with myself.
So I guess going by the above evidence, I only listened to THREE records that came out this year:
Foo Fighters : Wasting Light
Gang Gang Dance : Eye Contact
PJ Harvey : Let England Shake (not in any playlist but it's the only other record from 2011 that I got)
Wild Flag : Wild Flag
This means I am old and out of touch and OHGOD SOMEONE HELP ME OUT OF THIS.
Just kidding, I love that I'm turning into some crotchety old cat lady, Lana del Whatis? Skrilawho?
Thank god at least Twitter lets me learn the names of new things happening even if I have no idea what they really are!
So now that 2012 is almost here, I can finally check out other shit that came out in 2011 (never be current! always be a year behind!)... where should I start?

PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. -- In just its third year as a varsity program, the Pace University women's lacrosse team, the Setters, will open the 2017 season ranked 18th in country, according to the Nike/US Lacrosse Women's Division II Preseason Poll. This marks the team's first-ever appearance in the national rankings.
The Setters' rise to national prominence comes after a breakout second season for the program in 2016. Pace finished 10-8 overall last year, a five-win improvement from its inaugural season, qualified for its first-ever Northeast-10 Conference Championship Tournament and won its first-ever Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship.
This year, the team has earned a spot among the top 20 in the nation, despite having played just 34 games in the program's history. At the conclusion of the 2016 season, LaxPower.com ranked the Setters as the nation's most improved team, thanks in part to several marquee victories including wins over Bentley University and Saint Anselm College. Their defeat of 17th ranked Bentley last March was the Setters' first-ever win over a nationally ranked opponent.
The Setters were well-represented on the 2016 NE10 All-Conference Team. Najmah James (Danbury, Conn./Danbury High School) made her second straight appearance on the Second Team, while Casey Gelderman (Farmingville, N.Y./Sachem High School East) jumped from All-Rookie in 2015 to Third Team in 2016. Abby Haimson (Montville, N.J./Montville High School) joined Gelderman as a Third-Team member. Courtney Pabst (East Patchogue, N.Y./Bellport High School) earned All-Rookie honors in her first season. Gelderman, Haimson and James all also earned 2016 ECAC All-Star honors.
Pace joins six other NE10 schools in the top 20 polls. National Runner-Up and 2016 NE10 Champion, Adelphi University, begins the season at No. 2, while Le Moyne College sits at No. 5, Bentley at No. 13 and Stonehill College at No. 17. Behind Pace, Southern New Hampshire University and Saint Anselm round out the rankings at No. 19 and No. 20, respectively.
The Setters open their third season on the road on Saturday, Feb. 25, when they visit No. 3 LIU Post in a non-conference matchup in Brookville, N.Y. Pace will then host Queens College in the Setters' home opener on Friday, March 10, at Pace Stadium at 6:00 p.m.

Pre-Diabetes? Could You Have It?
About 41 million Americans between the ages of 40 and 74 have "pre-diabetes." Prediabetes is a condition that, as the name implies, can be considered an early, potentially reversible, stage in the development of Type II diabetes. Pre-diabetes is sometimes called impaired glucose tolerance or Impaired Fasting Glucose (IGT/IFG). In pre-diabetes, a person's blood sugar(glucose) levels are slightly higher than the normal range, but not high enough for a true diagnosis of diabetes. People with pre-diabetes have a significant risk of developing full-blown diabetes.

Adam Levine Up for 'American Horror Story' Role
Adam Levine's star continues to ascend. The Maroon 5 singer and 'The Voice' coach is said to be in final negotiations to take a role in the second season of FX's 'American Horror Story.' The series is generating plenty of buzz, so Levine could see a further wave of fame if he does indeed star on the show next season.
According to EW, Levine would play a contemporary character who is one half of a couple known as "The Lovers." Further details about the second season, such as who the other "Lover" will be, are under lock and key, if they are even determined at this point.
This would be Levine's first scripted TV role.
With his gig on 'The Voice' and now a possible TV show on the horizon, Levine appears to be shifting further away from music in favor of other arms of the entertainment world.
While we love his honest and hard-hitting critiques of contestants on 'The Voice,' and that grandpa cardigan he has been wearing during the taped battle rounds, that's still Adam Levine being Adam Levine. We'd like to see the singer/coach as a lovah on our small screens. Bring it, Ad Rock!

University of Miami
UM defensive tackle Ufomba Kamalu improving as Canes defense out to prove itself
He wears a black rubber bracelet with the words "chaos tempo."
Defensive end Ufomba Kamalu indicated Wednesday after a spirited University of Miami football practice that he is primed to help turn around the Hurricanes' woes of 2013.
"It's getting there," Kamalu noted of the "chaos tempo" label that he said defined the defense of his former school, Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kansas. "Guys are flying around. Our safeties, all our players are flying around. It's getting crazy."
In his lone season at Butler, Kamalu, a three-star defensive tackle as a recruit out of Starr's Mill High in Fayetteville, Ga., had 54 tackles, 7 ½ sacks and 14 tackles-for-loss in 2012.
Last year at UM, he recorded 10 tackles, 3 1/2 tackles-for-loss and 3 ½ sacks in nine games. He said is significantly stronger after gaining 10 pounds in the offseason, and has been especially aggressive during practice this spring.
"I'm definitely a lot better from a year ago," said the 6-6, 285-pound Kamalu, a junior. "I'm a lot faster. I feel like I have more understanding of the defense right now."
The defense, which has dominated the offense during much of practice, did well again Wednesday.
"We're talking better, guys know their plays," Kamalu said. "We're more normal as a group. We're more together."
Kamalu said his unit has much to prove after the way the defense was maligned last season.
"We have something to prove to ourselves, not to anyone else," Kamalu said. "We want to be good for our sake."
The Canes passed the halfway point of spring practice Wednesday, closing in on Saturday's first of three spring scrimmages (it's closed) and seeing progress from some of the injured players slowly being integrated back, such as receiver Malcolm Lewis and tight end Clive Walford.
"He's as healthy as he has been in a while," UM coach Al Golden said of Lewis. "It was good to see him go have some fun," He added that the limited Walford "made progress. We'll get him out there a little more Friday and see what he can do Saturday."
Sophomore linebacker Alex Figueroa left in the middle of practice because of a shoulder-related situation. "Obviously we want to be careful because that's what he injured last year," Golden said. "I don't have any reason to believe it's severe, but we just want to be prudent if it's a recurring injury."
Defensive tackle Olsen Pierre, who has missed practice recently with "a head deal," likely won't make the scrimmage, but will be back after that, Golden said.

We know that you are interested in the latest and greatest home theater projectors. However, Pacific Media Associates says you are not alone.
According to the research firm's end user survey, about 18 percent of respondents expect to buy a projector versus some other type of large-screen display. This number is up from 11 percent in 2009. Despite more people wanting to buy that projector, however, the same respondents are planning to place that new purchase in a media room instead of a dedicated home theater. PMA says that consumers have scaled back on large-scale remodeling projects and are opting for brands offering competitive pricing.
When it comes to brands Sony, Panasonic, Acer and LG are the most widely owned, with Sony, LG and JVC listed as the "the most intended brands."
Either way, it looks like consumers are still interested in getting that big-screen experience from the comfort of the couch. About 25 percent of users said they save the projector for movie nights, with 3D sports, games and regular 3D TV programming also gaining popularity.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Every time the music stops in this latest game of NBA coaching musical chairs, former Atlanta Hawks coach Larry Drew finds himself looking for a seat.
And yes, he is now officially a "former" Hawks coach as of Tuesday afternoon. That's when the Hawks announced that they hired Mike Budenholzer, the longtime assistant to San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, to take over Drew's old job. Budenholzer joins Jeff Hornacek (Phoenix) and Steve Clifford (Charlotte) as assistants who move over to the first chair next season. And there are still several more big-name assistants — Indiana's Brian Shaw is the biggest, and he is not being allowed to interview for other jobs during the Pacers' run — who could be in line to move up.
There are still vacancies in Milwaukee, Detroit, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Los Angeles (Clippers) that need to be filled. Drew is a candidate in Milwaukee (he'll interview for a second time this week) and is interested in the Clippers' opening.
But as of this morning he's still twisting in coaching no-man's land after the Hawks filled his job without ever officially severing ties with the man who led them to three straight playoff appearances during his tenure. Drew was a Hawks assistant for six seasons before that, the final three of those culminating in playoff trips under then-coach (and now-Knicks coach) Mike Woodson.
Drew's contract expires June 30 and he went into this process with a complete understanding of what Hawks GM Danny Ferry was doing. It's not like someone snatched the rug from underneath him. Ferry is going for the complete franchise makeover, complete with 12 or 13 roster spots to fill in addition to Budenholzer and whatever staff he can put together.
Ferry made it clear that while he didn't mind dancing with the coach he inherited last summer when he took over Atlanta's basketball operations, he was going to keep an eye out for his own guy. His history with Budenholzer, both as a player and executive with the Spurs, was an obvious connection.
Drew understood that the chance of him returning to the job he did so well the past three seasons was slim at best. He fielded questions about his status all season, never once bristling at a process with an outcome that many of us saw coming the day Ferry was hired. All that said, it's still bizarre for some to see a coach under contract, at least for another month, replaced by someone whose current job (at that time) required him to help prepare the Spurs for another long playoff run.
Bucks general manager John Hammond has to make the next move where Drew is concerned. His pool of candidates to take over in Milwaukee shrinks every time the music stops. Clifford and Budenholzer were reportedly on Hammond's short list before being taken off of the market. And now Drew and Houston Rockets assistant Kelvin Sampson are believed to be the finalists.
Drew has 128-102 record as a coach and those three playoff appearances in three seasons working in his favor … not that it served him very well in whatever attempt was made to keep his job with the Hawks. Sampson has history with the Bucks, having worked as an assistant under former coach Scott Skiles for three seasons.
Drew's coaching experience is going head-to-head with Sampson's connection and the trend of assistants being elevated to top jobs. How much longer Drew remains on the coaching carousel depends on the which set of factors carry more weight in Milwaukee and perhaps elsewhere.
The coaching vacancy landscape can change in an instant — just ask former Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro. The Memphis Grizzlies have to decide what they're going to do with Lionel Hollins, whose contract is up. He'll be a hot candidate for several of these remaining openings if he and the Grizzlies decide to part ways.
That's why if you are Drew, you want a seat now … before that music stops again.

Iron Maiden To Tour in 2012
Iron Maiden fans rejoice! This news should improve your weekend tenfold. So we don't know when, and we don't know where, but Iron Maiden are planning to tour this year.
In a recent interview at the 2012 NAMM convention in Anaheim, Calif., Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain told 96.7 KCAL Rocks that the band has a tour in their sights. When asked what's going on with the band, McBrain said, "Well, we're taking some time off and we're gonna go back out on tour sometime this year. We're not sure yet when." He went on to say that it probably won't be a world tour this time around, only a "little tour" and a "short run." "We're not sure yet when," reiterated McBrain.
When asked about possible West Coast dates, McBrain stuck to his answer, singing, "Don't know where, don't know when." So if you haven't noticed the theme here yet, the tour is coming, just don't ask where or when.
McBrain, who had a hard time focusing on the interview with all of the eye candy walking around NAMM, told fans to keep any eye on the Iron Maiden website for the official tour announcement.
Maiden is getting ready to release their new blu-Ray, two-DVD set and double soundtrack album 'En Vivo!' on March 26. You can watch the trailer here. 'En Vivo!' was filmed on April 10, 2011 in front of over 50,000 fans at the Estadio Nacional, Santiago during their 'The Final Frontier World Tour.'

Qatar Airways and The Chopra Center for Wellbeing offer you customised Ayurvedic techniques that you can use during your flight (and at home) to feel more balanced, healthy and relaxed.
To encourage blood circulation, we recommend that you do these exercises for a few minutes each hour.
Feet first
DVT is a blood clot in a deep vein. There is a slight risk of developing DVT if you remain seated in an aircraft for a prolonged duration. Therefore, during your flight, it's important to regularly get up and walk around or carry out the exercises in this guide.
1. With your feet raised, make circles with your toes, rotating them 20 times in each direction.
2. With your feet flat, alternately lift your heels up with your toes still on th efloor, then rest your heels and lift your toes, as in a rocking motion. Hold the lift each time, repeating 30 times.
3. Lift your knees slightly whilst at the same time clenching your thigh muscles and pointing your toes up and down. Repeat 10 to 20 times with each leg.
Motion sickness
Continue looking straight ahead by keeping your eyes focussed on a non-moving object to reduce motion sickness.
Cabin pressure
Cabin air pressure falls as the aircraft gains height, which can cause the amount of oxygen in your blood to drop. The aircraft cabin is pressurised to keep this to a minimum but the change of pressure during take-off and landing can give a feeling of blackage of the ears. Chewing, swallowing or yawning can relieve these symptoms.
Heart disease
Don't fly within seven days of a heart attack unless cleared by your doctor. It is normally best to delay your flight for about a month in case there are complications.
If you are going to cross several time zones, please consult your doctor about managing your insulin dosage.
Prior to booking your ticket, Qatar Airways recommends that you visit your doctor and inquire about your fitness to fly the length of trip you intend to take.
For your own safety and the well being of your child, Qatar Airways will not accept expectant mothers who are pregnant from their 36th week or beyond.
Depending on the stage of your pregnancy and certain details, you may be required to carry certain medical forms.

At a time when French musicians were divided into conservative and progressive factions, Dukas adhered to neither but retained the admiration of both. His compositions were influenced by composers including Beethoven, Berlioz, Franck, d'Indy and Debussy.
In tandem with his composing career, Dukas worked as a music critic, contributing regular reviews to at least five French journals. Later in his life he was appointed professor of composition at the Conservatoire de Paris and the École Normale de Musique; his pupils included Maurice Duruflé, Olivier Messiaen, Manuel Ponce, and Joaquín Rodrigo.

Rondo vs Outlander/Rav4/Santa Fe/Mazda5
Would you mean the official Mazda USA and Mazda CA sites?
According to Kicking Tires, the cars will hit the dealerships Winter 2007 in the US. I'm assuming Canada is very close to that given how they are shipped from Japan. Now, they will be "officially" announced in the Mazda site Mid November (it seems).
Winter is a long season though...
Here is the source:
conwelpic, I was told by a Mazda USA rep that the US website will be updated with 2008 info on November 14th. My local Mazda dealer said they expect to start receiving the 2008 in late Jan-early Feb.0
Talking about weird comparisons, but this one makes more sense though. The Mazda5 has an excellent turning ratio to maneuver (i.e. to park) and is not as a gas guzzler as other cars. 19MPG seems a low number, but I'm assuming purely heavy city driving.
There aren't many minivans that scream "city-friendly," but the Mazda5 takes the family-hauler concept and shrinks it to a manageable size that still has room for six. The 2008 model has a fresh look but retains its distinct Japanese edginess. Even though it's 20 inches shorter than a Honda Odyssey, the Mazda5 is still substantial, coming in at almost exactly the same length as a Toyota RAV4. Steering is sharp for tight parking maneuvers, and the ride is relatively smooth.
Length: 181.5 inches
Turning circle: 34.8 feet
Seats: 6
City MPG: 19
Mazda5......................Mitsubishi Outlander
Length: 181.5 inches............182.7 inches
Turning circle: 34.8 feet.......34.8 feet
Seats: 6 ................................7
City MPG: 19......................19 MPG City AWD, V6 Auto
22 MPG City AWD, New 08 trim- 4 cyl CVT(estimate)
This is a comparison, you need at least 2 cars to do it.0
Agreed - very good news. Kudos to Mazda for spending money where it counts.
Wonder if they'll improve the center console, too? Offer a 7 seat model?0

Agree, my bad :blush:. My wording was based on the fact that Cars.com had to compare all these diff. "purpose" cars to get to the final list, but I get it, did not look like an apples to apples type thing.
Those numbers look good in the Uplander BTW, I really like that car, problem I'm not into SUVs. Also, SUVs are not really hot for city driving IMO.0
Uplander???? Thats one of the worst minivans on the market.
You should test Mitsubishi Outlander yourself to find it's
near perfect handling and performance. The numbers are much better than any minivan out there, and better than most SUVs.0
Arrggh, even the name is confusing! I was referring to the Outlander. Not my day to reply in here, LOL.
By the way, if you trace back this thread some months, I put the Outlander 2nd on my wish list. I really like it, except, as I said, I'm not an SUV fan (nor wife, who drives the Mazda5 everyday).0
kivo Posts: 64That Nov. 14th date has come and gone - have you heard any more info on the updating of the web site?0
Would this help?
Close enough to get most of the 2008 model info (from Mazda USA, including pricing):
http://www.mazdausamedia.com/products/presskit_display.cfm?vehicle_id=1638&press- - _subsection_id=421&make_id=2270
Here we go, it is "official" now
http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=modelsGallery&v- ehicleCode=MZ5
I love it even more now
That console is an improvement, though I wish the storage where the CDs are were covered.
That armrest is a nice addition, too. You can barely see it.0
It's nice to see photos with people inside...very rare to see in any car interior.0
I love the silver color.0
I understand about the 3rd row, but even the 2nd row of passengers look cramped!! Where's the leg room??????????? I still prefer the Kia Rondo.0
Not sure if I follow. Are there any pics of adult people seating on a Rondo (7adults on all rows, including 2nd row middle bench) we can take a look at?
I agree, it is not a comfortable limo type space but I don't see them cramped in there.
I've seen 7 on a Chevy Suburban, and that seems OK, but for smaller cars, good luck.0
Coolmazda5, setting the legroom issue aside, Montreal is currently under a severe winter storm warning and have received close to 25cm and counting. I had no problem plowing through the white stuff due to the Rondo's standard equiped ESC and Traction Control. I seriously doubt that the mazda5 could even match that performance.0
I've seen some interior pics from Kia but I swear they're photochopped.
In person, you fold the 3rd row and the backrest basically contacts the 2nd row.
There's only enough leg room if you move the 2nd row forward (as is the case with the Mazda5).
Found some sample photos.
Kia makes it look HUGE here, probably by moving the other 2 rows forward:
Yet here's another photos that shows how tiny that rear area actually is when the 2nd row is all the way back:
You only have a lot of room if the 2nd row is slid forward, and that may even force the 1st row occupants to slide forward, too.0
Replying to myself here, but notice the driver's seat, how it's moved forward in relation to the steering wheel, which is probably too close in that position.0
If you call 31.7cu.ft. with the 3rd row down not much room compared to 15cu.ft. with the Mazda5. You have to lay flat both the 2nd and 3rd row seats to accomplish 30cu.ft. of space within the Mazda5 vs 73.4cu.ft. in the Rondo with the same config. There is no comparison!0
Very good observation, but off-topic. I would like to see some pics with people inside the Rondo to really evaluate the space (not the published specs). Again, it is not just about the Rondo, it is about any smaller vehicle with a 3rd row seat (i.e. a RAV4). As I mentioned here some time back, if I need to seat 6 average size adults in my car at least 90% of the time I would have gone for a Suburban, a Honda Odyssey or a Toyota Sienna. Since that is not the case, when I have a full house (including a large stroller in the back of the 3rd row) I don't mind the comfort too much.
With regards to snow, I also live in a cold area and I've seen a lot of powerful SUVs with all the nice toys stranded (ESC, AWD, Traction Control, etc.), so it is not the toys added in many instances, is knowing how to drive under those conditions.0
It's all about personal choice. Both vehicles have similar characteristics in all categories. Some people associate the Kia brand with reliability issues and some are concerned with various features offered with the Kia and not with the Mazda5. All in all, both vehicles have very good reviews that cannot be ignored. You're alright in my book coolmazda5. BTW, nice PICS!!0
I still think the Rondo is small, though. The Mazda5 being even smaller doesn't change that opinion.
Any how, it is nice that Kia offers small (Rondo), medium (SWB Sedona), and large (LWB Sedona).
Then again, my reference point is a Sienna. There's nearly 100 cubic feet behind the 2nd row, which means 5 people plus tons of stuff.0
The Traction Control ans Stability Control are very nice things to have. I do happen to have a Mazda5 and we have been been dealing with snow all last week. I will admit that we have a set of Dunlop Wintersport 3Ds on the 5 and it have performed very well in conditions ranging from compact snow/ice to deep snow. On ice, the traction can be a bit hard to come by, but the Auto allows for starting in second gear which helps significantly. That, along with careful throttle modulation gets it going easily.
I don't want to come across as saying that TC and ESP are useless, but I have never had either on a car and have managed to survive winter using careful driving techniques. I also believe that TC and ESP can lull some drivers into a false sense of security. Once the snow starts in my area, a large percentage of accidents are the result of drivers going too fast for conditions (mainly AWD SUVs). I also have driven with and without snow tires (studded and studless) and believe that a good set of snow tires is a good investment for those in snow climates. While TC and ESP may definitely help in those rare, unforseen circumstances, I would still want a good set of snow tires for their superior braking and cornering performance in the nasty stuff.0
I believe the photo is a good thing and can see you observation. I Like how the driver appears to be relatively short. Only thing I can point out as a Mazda5 owner is that the legroom in a little different than we traditionally think about in the 5. It is the same what with my Toyota ECHO and also with a Mazda 3 that I had for a loaner. The apparent legroom is a bit tight, but the cars are engineered to sit more upright and provide toe space under the front seats. with a full load of adults on board, it is still a bit of a pinch, but that is the compromise of these vehicles.
I had researched the Rondo and Mazda5 before buying and the reviews cam across as the 3rd rows being very alike. The Rondo did have more measured legroom, but you sit lower, which is another tradeoff. Both the Rondo and MZ5 are fine cars that fit different needs for people.0
From the manufacture webpages:
Rondo:Legroom (front/middle/rear) 41.3 in./38.2 in./31.3 in.
Mazda 5 Leg Room, front/2nd/3rd row (inches) 40.7/35.2/30.7
cargo room behind the 2nd row
Rondo 31.7
Mazda5 44.4
So there is more legroom in the Rondo, but the opening in the 2nd row of the Mazda5 between the two seats might make is seem less cramped than with the Rondo's 2nd row bench. Plus I doubt if the Rondo's 3rd row passengers will feel any of the AC from the 2nd row vents, but they would in the Mazda5 again, because of the 2nd row captain chairs will allow air to flow between them to the 3rd row.
You do get more cargo space behind the 2nd row of the Mazda5, so if you're using it mostly as a 2 row vehicle, then I'd rather have the additional cargo space. It's like my Honda Fit. The Versa has more 2nd row legroom than the Fit, but the Fit has more cargo space behind the 2nd row. Since our family of 4 fit in the Fit just fine, I went with the Fit for the better cargo space.
So it depends on if you want the extra legroom inches of the Rondo or extra CuFt of the Mazda5.0
08outtie Posts: 13I agree, some car designs create legroom for front and back occupants by virtually making the occupants to sit straight up. Imagine you are sitting on a stool at a bar, your legs are dangling towards the floor instead of resting your feet on the floor with your knees banded at 90 degree.
With legs elongated and extended downwards, less lateral room is required. The side effects are less comfortable sitting position and tall ceiling. I first noticed this trend of designing also with the Toyota Echo and Matrix. For a relatively small vehicle, there seemed to be a lot of legroom and headroom. However, the styling really suffered as it looked like a loaf of bread with the tall roof line. Subsequently, I noticed the Honda fit, Mazda 5 and Nissan Versa were designed with the same tricks to create legrooms.0
conwelpic Ontario, CanadaPosts: 600cargo room behind the 2nd row
Rondo 31.7
Mazda5 44.4
Mazda figures on 2007 for storage was very strange and same on the Canadian site, but now they seem more realistic with the 2008 information as they now state 70.9 cu.ft. with the 2nd and 3rd seats folded which makes more sense when I had actually measured both vehicles. The Rondo is 73.4 cu.ft. for the same area.
Passenger cargo room 97.7 cu.ft. for the Mazda 5 and 107.8 for the Rondo. The Rondo 5-seater has storage through to the dash on the passengers side as you can recline the back of the back seat but the 6/7-seater set up is basically the same on both vehicles.0
There are definitely more and more cars taking up this design philosophy and I think it works well. as far as the differences between the Rondo and Mazda 5 goes, I just don't think they are that much different. I t somewhat reminds me of the late 80s with cars like the Ford Taurus competing with the Honda Accords at the time. The Ford was a little bigger here and there and offered V6 power, but still decent fuel economy. The Accord was known as a good handling car, but the truth is that the Tauruses weren't that bad. Rondo vs Mazda 5 is that same kind of thing. Each offers it's own take. My wife and I love our 5 and would highly recommend it. That doesn't mean I would discount the Rondo. For us the sliding doors sealed the deal. We worried about the Rondo's relatively large rear door in the tight parking lots often seen here. Also, Our garage is rather small (both in depth and width), so the sliders made more sense there.0
I'm not sure about the behind the 1st row cargo space, but the 2008 Mazda5 webpage shows 44.4 CuFt vs 31.7 for the Rondo, so that's about 13 CuFt more, or about the size of a small car's trunk. To me that's a lot of extra space for our family of 4's stuff.
And while our Fit has upright seating, it's not any more upright than a minivan or SUV seat, so I'm fine with that.0

Frequently Asked Questions about Signs
To keep Redmond aesthetically pleasing and safe for pedestrians and vehicles, the City has adopted rules concerning the display of commercial, real estate, construction, and political signs. Following are the questions most frequently asked regarding these regulations.
Is a permit required for all permanent signs in the City? And is there a cost involved?
Yes. A sign permit must be obtained to install a new, altered, or relocated sign. Fees are based primarily on the estimated value of the proposed sign. Any business applying for a sign permit will also need to obtain a City of Redmond business license.
How do I get a sign permit?
Sign permit applications are available at the Development Services Center, located on the second floor of Redmond City Hall or on the City's website. Applications are reviewed for size, location, and placement. If necessary, they are forwarded to the Building Division to make sure they meet the standards for safety and weight. In some cases, especially if it is for a large commercial or residential project, a sign program is sent to the City's Design Review Board for its assessment of how well it fits in with the rest of the community.
Is there a height restriction on signs?
Wall mounted signs must not extend beyond the building's roof. Ground mounted signs are restricted to a maximum height of ten feet. Any sign currently exceeding that height had to have been installed prior to the adoption of the current sign code. If they are altered or relocated, they will be required to meet today's standards.
What are the rules for political signs?
Political signs may be placed on public rights-of-way or on private property with permission of the owner. However, they must be situated in such a way so as to not impede driver vision. Political signs may not exceed six square feet in size (unless located at the candidate's headquarters) and are restricted in height to six feet. All political signs must be removed within seven days following the election.
Are businesses allowed to advertise with sandwich board signs?
Sandwich board signs (also known as "A-boards") are allowed only when the establishment is open for business. These signs are limited to six square feet in size, may not block sidewalks, bike trails, or driveways, and should not be placed in street medians. Banners are not allowed.
What about real estate properties? Are they allowed to display sandwich board signs?
Yes. Real estate properties located in single family residential zones are allowed to display three six square foot sandwich boards off site - but only while a seller, agent, or person providing information is on the advertised site. When the seller or agent leaves the property, the signs must be removed. No balloons may be attached to the signs and no property outside Redmond is allowed to advertise within Redmond City limits.
How many signs are permitted for a multi-tenant building?
Tenants in a multi-tenant building are allowed a permanent wall sign advertising their place of business. Individual ground mounted entry signs are not allowed. In order to reduce the number of signs along the street, the City encourages property owners to group tenants onto a strategically placed sign. In addition, each multi-tenant complex must provide city and landlord approved guidelines for the tenants in order to provide a consistent visual appearance. Multi-tenant buildings may also display one six square foot sandwich board when the selling or rental agent is on site.
How many signs may I display at my construction site? Do I need to remove my signs each night?
A construction site may display two 32 square foot signs anywhere on the construction site (including the construction fencing). Because construction signs are there to alert the public that construction is taking place, construction signs may be displayed at all times through the completion of the project.
Does the City allow moving signs?
No. Moving signs, whether animated, revolving, rotating or waved, are not allowed. This does not include such features as the hands of a clock, barber poles, or digital changing date/weather signs.
What other signs are prohibited?
Any sign that resembles a traffic device/sign and may confuse pedestrians or drivers is prohibited as well as any sign that is considered obscene under the prevailing statutes or U.S. Supreme Court rulings. Advertising signs placed along a roadway or attached to a tree, utility, or telephone pole are not allowed and no new billboards may be constructed within the City.
What does the City do with illegal signs?
The City may confiscate illegal signs that are placed on public property or rights-of-way and holds on to them for 30 calendar days. The advertiser may retrieve their sign(s) only after paying a retrieval fee and/or any associated fines. City personnel try hard to inform all business owners of the City code(s) before ever issuing a fine.
For additional information, or for sign related questions please e-mail Code Enforcement at
or call (425)556-2474.
as of April 15, 2011
As part of the new Zoning Code Update, the Sign Code and Sign Design Standards was updated with the following changes:
Sign Code Changes

Reformatted, clarified and added illustrations to the General Design Standards section including adding Sign Compatibility, Sign Legibility, Sign Placement, Location and Size subsections.
Added a new Design Standards for Specific Sign Types section with Wall Signs, Projecting Signs, Blade Signs, Awning Signs, Window Signs, and Monument Signs subsections in order to add clarity for specific sign types allowed.
A business must have an approved business license before they are issued sign permits.
Banners are prohibited, however, a six square foot sandwich board is allowed during open hours. Sandwich boards must be removed at the close of each business day.
Signs behind windows are exempt.
Only one sign per wall elevation is permitted for each business.
Home Businesses
In order to maintain residential character, home businesses are not allowed signage.

Convert area surface measuring units between rood (ro) and Japanese jō (畳) but in the other reverse direction from Japanese jō into roods.
|conversion result for area surface:
|1 rood
|Japanese jō
Converter type: area surface units
This online area surface from ro into 畳 converter is a handy tool not just for certified or experienced professionals.
First unit: rood (ro) is used for measuring area.
Second: Japanese jō (畳) is unit of area.
612.09 畳 is converted to 1 of what?
The Japanese jō unit number 612.09 畳 converts to 1 ro, one rood. It is the EQUAL area value of 1 rood but in the Japanese jō area unit alternative.
How to convert 2 roods (ro) into Japanese jō (畳)? Is there a calculation formula?
First divide the two units variables. Then multiply the result by 2 - for example:
612.087033888 * 2 (or divide it by / 0.5)
1 ro = ? 畳
1 ro = 612.09 畳
Other applications for this area surface calculator ...
With the above mentioned two-units calculating service it provides, this area surface converter proved to be useful also as a teaching tool:
1. in practicing roods and Japanese jō ( ro vs. 畳 ) values exchange.
2. for conversion factors training exercises between unit pairs.
3. work with area surface's values and properties.
International unit symbols for these two area surface measurements are:
Abbreviation or prefix ( abbr. short brevis ), unit symbol, for rood is:
Abbreviation or prefix ( abbr. ) brevis - short unit symbol for Japanese jō is:
One rood of area surface converted to Japanese jō equals to 612.09 畳
How many Japanese jō of area surface are in 1 rood? The answer is: The change of 1 ro ( rood ) unit of area surface measure equals = to 612.09 畳 ( Japanese jō ) as the equivalent measure for the same area surface type.
In principle with any measuring task, switched on professional people always ensure, and their success depends on, they get the most precise conversion results everywhere and every-time. Not only whenever possible, it's always so. Often having only a good idea ( or more ideas ) might not be perfect nor good enough solution. If there is an exact known measure in ro - roods for area surface amount, the rule is that the rood number gets converted into 畳 - Japanese jō or any other area surface unit absolutely exactly.

text: hello, I installed ispconfig on an intoVPS OpenVZ container. Now FTP connections don't get established, the trouble starts here: The vMachines is a Debian Squeeze 6.06. At the setup I noticed it would not be possible to reproduce the network config, looks like that: iptables shows: ftp client stops here: Is there any mistake in my config? As soon as I clear the firewall all connections are functional again but that's not very secured. Please help.
