Best time to visit Romania
July and August are the busiest months for tourists all over Europe because the weather is at its warmest. May and June are some of the best months to visit Romania, followed by September and early October as the weather is usually fine and the sites are less crowded than during peak season. Spring and autumn are considered optimal times for birdwatching in the Danube Delta. Romania has harsh winters, with most tourists choosing to travel to the ski resorts. Snow lingers as late as mid-May, and the hiking season doesn't begin in earnest until June. The resorts along the Black Sea coast get busy in late June and stay packed until mid-August. It tends to rain more in March, April, October and November.

Top 5 Classic Castles of Romania
1. Bran Castle
Possibly Romania's best known castle, Transylvania's Bran Castle is linked to the legend of Dracula, although somewhat tenuously. Regardless, tourists flock in to see the heritage art, historic treasures and secret passages that all good castles are made of. A short trip from Brasov, this interesting attraction should be high on every traveller's list.
2. Hunyad Castle
Watch towers? Check. Drawbridge? Check. Dark History? Check. Hunyad Castle has all the classic hallmarks of a typical European castle. Once the prison of notorious Vlad the Impaler, Hunyad Castle's unique Gothic-Renaissance style is a result of extensive restoration after years of neglect.
3. Fagaras Castle
This ancient fortress and castle may lack the opulence of others, but is worthy of admiration for its enduring powers. Still surrounded by the moat which protected it for centuries, Fagaras Castle is a wonderful example of effective fortification - with enormous walls and towers built to withstand war and invasion.
4. Peles Castle
Nestled within the Carpathian Mountains, this gorgeous castle straight out of a fairytale is the perfect example of palatial bliss. With 30 bathrooms, an impressive collection of fine art, an extensive armour collection, manicured gardens, marble fireplaces and imposing statues, Peles Castle is one of Romania's grandest.
5. Pelisor Castle
Located within the Peles Castle complex, this castle is most famous for its decadent room made of gilded gold. Featuring Art Nouveau-style furnishings and art, plush interiors and an oak panelled lobby, Pelisor Castle certainly works its old-world charm.

In Canada we tend to forget about US College hockey and the deep strides it has made into NHL player development. There are more and more budding talents that the Canadian poolie isn't exposed to, so here is a brief update on who to keep an eye on south of the border.
James vanRiemsdyk is an odd guy off the ice. Discretion (and libel laws) prevents elaboration, however, poolies should be made aware of as many variables as possible. A player's idiosyncrasies may have little effect on his play (Jeremy Roenick), or it might be cause for a complete draft re-assessment (Sean Avery). In this case, consider yourselves warned!
Why vanRiemsdyk, a budding Philadelphia power forward, chose to play at New Hampshire with its international ice pad, is something only James knows. That decision alone provides some non-libelous evidence that this player marches to the beat of his own drum. In this case it is definitely not a good thing. The Flyers certainly didn't think so.
JVR has developed reasonably well but he's a power forward so expect Bobby Ryan-like progress. If you've got the time, JVR will pay off nicely but he'll stagnate on the farm for a year or two.
Joe Colborne, Boston's first round pick in 2008 is yet another NCAA oddity. Colborne's father has more oil-money than J.R. Ewing. Given that Colborne seems relatively unaffected so far, it likely won't become an issue. But hey, if it does….
Unlike the smaller JVR, Colborne is not power forward material. Despite being 6'5, 190 he's more of a puck distributor and has little interest in the physical game. Currently a winger, some think he'll develop into a better center, which bodes well for his overall point totals if not his PIMs. Colborne has been fantastic in his freshman year at Denver but the best thing about Colborne might be the guy that runs his power play.
Patrick Wiercioch is not a name that you may know but you might want to pay attention. This kid doesn't turn 19 until September but he's averaging over a point per game -- as a defenseman. He's 6'3, an Ottawa second round pick in 2008, and he's making Colborne, seven months his senior, look like a chump by comparison.
Colin Wilson is the son of former NHL'er Carey Wilson. Colin, Nashville's first pick, seventh overall, in 2008 plays at Boston University. Wilson has great hockey sense, distributes the puck well, and is a solid 215 pounds already. While not as likely to put up as big numbers as Colborne and JVR, Wilson definitely has the chance to be a 70-75 point producer someday. He's currently the No. 1 contender for the Hobey Baker Trophy which goes to the MVP of US College hockey.
Pat White went to Minnesota with a huge amount of hype. A local boy, White was expected to lead the Golden Gophers, but perhaps the pressure of hometown expectations got the better of him. White has played two less than spectacular seasons with very moderate production. He's a strong candidate to rebound next year but until he's produced something at the college level don't risk a pick on this guy.
If you want someone who is totally out there – way off the radar - look no further than Viktor Stalberg. Stalberg was always a speed demon but has now filled out without losing a step. The end result is a 6'3, 210-pound Swedish speedster with a nose for the net. It's no wonder that he's fourth in the NCAA with 20 goals. Not bad for a sixth round Leafs draft pick. Don't draft him, but watch his progress at Vermont .

Hello Everybody
Just to let you all know, I am posting for a friend. I do not own a X-7 phenom, but my buddy bought one late December and he is not very forum savvy so I thought I would try to get some help from you all. I was under the impression that Tippmann markers were the true work horses of painball. Rugged, reliable, accurate, easy to work on, and well made
To say that taking this gun out was dissappointing was an understatement. We aired it up with a guerilla air tank with myth reg and took it out for target practice. The gun broke the third ball we shot on semi. We were shocked. We cleaned the gun and chaulked it up to a fluke. We shot again and within 10 balls another break. We turned the velocity down and have more breaks. This gun has broken more paint then any gun I have ever seen shot in my entire life. Fully automatic is HORRIBLY inaccurate and breaks paint like a blender.
We orginally thought it was because of the stock barrel. I mean, every review all over the internet comments about how it is easy on paint and never breaks a ball right? My friend then plunked down the money and bought the flatline barrel kit hoping that once we got the barrel tuned he would have excellent range and it would be accurate. WRONG. One out of every 12 balls would actually fly far, none of the shots were close to accuracte, one out of every 8 balls broke, and getting the barrel adjusted did no good at all. The accuracy was so bad that only one out of every 8 shots in semi would hit a barrel at 25 feet (verified with tape measure) and I could not hit him jogging away at 30 feet with the gun using ultra premium paint shooting full auto.
After that shooting session we decided to check out the inside of the barrel. WOW. The metal part used to connect the barrel to the gun looked like it had absolutely ZERO finishing work done to it. There were sharp metal burrs all over the inside that would make contact with the paint balls. He then decided to buy a different barrel kit.
We then purchased the Straight Line barrel kit. It was expensive but was a really great concept. Once again, the reviews raved about it. The finishing work inside the barrel looked great too. Did it shoot well? It shot better then either the stock barrel and the Flatline BUT he still broke more paint then he should (1 out of every 13 balls) and fully automatic is out of the question still because of how much paint is being broken.
Tonight his brother (who my friend and his brother together with their father own a machine shop) came by to take a look at the gun. His brother owns many many markers and a ton of classics as well (VM-68 and PMI pump anyone?). Togther they decided to check out the bolt. It looks like there was almost zero finishing work done on it as well. Metal burrs and shoddy work abound.
They are convinced it is a good idea to take the bolt down to their machine shop and do the finishing work thenselves that should have been done at the factory. They have not done so yet so I am writing you all because I need every Tippmann owner's help. We have cleaned and relubed every part as per the manual. We have inspected every single o-ring. Nothing has helped.
Does this sound a little rediculous to you?
Have others of you had problems like this with thier Phenom? Could you take a look at your bolts and maybe take some shots if it is bad?
Is there any settings he can change to make this thing more accurate and not break rediculous amounts of pain? Is there even hopes of getting this gun to shoot full auto without it becoming a blender?
He has sank $375+tax in to the gun, $50 on a stock, $40 on a red dot sight, $80 on the flatline barrel, $150 on the straight line barrel. To say he is upset is an understatement. Almost (aside from flames) any and all help would be appriciated. We really want to like this gun as it looks great and he has spent a ton of money on it but right now this is the worst painball gun we have ever seen. Please help us.

Few questions first. What kind of paint was being used. If it was a cheap paint or an old stale batch the cyclone may make short work of it. Also what was the temp? using certain paintballs in low temps (freezing and below) can often give shoddy perfomance. If he is unhappy with it though there is the option of contacting tippmann with the problem. they have excellent customer service and have always been very esy to deal with if i had any problems. i would not recomend machining the bolt before contacting tippmann as it will most likely void the warranty.

A second question would be what the velocity was set at in feet per second (fps) when he was shooting.

A few weeks ago I contacted Tippmann about the number of mentions we saw on the forum about the rough bolt face on the Phenom. The response back was that they had added an additional finishing process on the bolts and any user that was experiencing ball chopping could contact Tippmann for warranty replacement.
Although if your friends brother is a machinist he should be able to take care of things right there.

Mine was just as bad if not worse. I had horrible problems with it. I pulled the bolt out same problem it was horrible. No finishing at all was done it was like the bolt face was razor blades. I was very upset. I phoned Tippmann more then a little unhappy at buying a 500$ marker that couldnt even compair to a 50$ spyder. My bluster though was quickly stolen away by there custumer service. In no time at all I hung up the phone happy and my new properly machined bolt was in the mail. I told them I had already fixed the bolt myself with a dremel. They said they would send me a new bolt and a little "care kit" anyways for my inconvenience. He did admit that it was a large problem they were having with the new marker. So no, your not alone. Take heart in the fact the company will do anything to make sure your happy.

I want to implement Paypal Express Checkout in my application. i want to take the Credit Details from the User wants the amount he entered to be transfered in my Paypal Business account.
I have created paypal test accounts for the same.
But When I try to execute I get an Failure Message..
Fail: This API do not have any permission to make any transaction Details.
Plz help me with this..
Waiting for the Suggestion...
Its difficult to answer without seeing the code but Maybe you used some operation that not accessible in test account. Other possible problem - you should be athenticated before recieving transaction details
Did you check that ?
Piyush you may need to get to "paypal developer link":https://developer.paypal.com/ sign in with your sandbox account and go to the API Access link and provide API access to your business API account this will give you an API username/password and API signature. Use all this information in your ruby code and it should work. I suggest using Active Merchant for the API integration to ensure simplified integration.
Also I would check out *"ActiveMerchant":http://www.activemerchant.org/* - I've used it in the past and makes integration a lot easier.
I am using active_mechant here...What I am trying to do here is that I want to transfer the amount from the Credit card to my Tst account of Paypal. (which I created at developer.paypal.com).
I am also using the following details Paypal gave me during the registration. They are as follows:
Test Account: locala_1205224404_biz-xxxx.com
API Username: locala_1205224404_biz_api1.-xxxxl.com API Password: 12052-xxxx Signature: Apuh47QmzBz6ZPU-Dlp8p4uNNWGaAYdk9DE5pKun-uPM0s-o.yP3JmOV
class OrderController < ApplicationController require 'money' def checkout
def pay
amount_to_charge = Money.ca_dollar(1000) #ten US dollars
creditcard = ActiveMerchant::Billing::CreditCard.new(
# :number => '4477621376048889 ', #Authorize.net test card, error-producing
:number => '4007000000027', #Authorize.net test card, non-error-producing
:month => 3, #for test cards, use any date in the future
:year => 2018,
:first_name => 'Flinn',
:last_name => 'Muller',
:type => 'visa' #note that MasterCard is 'master'
if creditcard.valid?
#gateway = ActiveMerchant::Billing::PaypalGateway.new(

#:password => '201254191') #Transaction Key
gateway = ActiveMerchant::Billing::PaypalGateway.new(

:city => 'San Francisco',
:state => 'CA',
:country => 'US',
:zip => '23456',
:phone => '(555)555-5555'
response = gateway.authorize(amount_to_charge, creditcard, :ip=>"127.0.0.1")
if response.success?
gateway.capture(amount_to_charge, response.authorization)
@result = "Success: " + response.message.to_s
@result = "Fail: " + response.message.to_s
@result = "Credit card not valid: " + creditcard.validate.to_s
As far as I remember Express checkout integration will require the user to move from the cart directly to paypal , fill in his billing address and then return to merchant to authorize payment. There is no credit card transaction involved in the process. Please do check the implementation guide available within developer.paypal.com
Actually this is what I want to do in My application..
1) Suppose User buys any porduct from our site.(Worth $ 40)
2) On the Check out page he will provide us his shipping Address and Credit Card Details
The WebSite owner will have an Paypal Account and whatever amount customs pay here will be transfered to his paypal account.
3) We will take his credit cards details and will give those details to paypal site (using Active Merchant) and the amount will be transfered to Website owners paypal account.
4) In this case will not be redirect to paypal site nor it is compulsary for user to have an paypal account. He has to only have a credit card with him.
Also no issues related to Shipping address wil rise as the Web site admin will take care of it as Customer is providing his Shipping address during the final chackout..
Let me know if this is possible or not..Becoz I m a newbie who is working with rails... I may be wrong here...

businesses on the move…
Carey Candy Co. has moved into its new location at the corner of Lawrence and Bradley Street across from the Quincy Fire Station. Saying Amy has expanded would be an understatement. The new location offers plenty of room to spaciously display and feature her renowned candies, other treats and gift shop merchandise. With all this room, Amy is planning to add an ice cream counter later this year, in addition to expanding her inventory. There's plenty of parking on the corner, which makes popping in and out of the store for a quick snack very easy.
Right next door to Amy's new digs on Bradley Street is the new home of Steve King and Edward Jones Investments. His offices had been located in the business complex across from Morning Thunder on Lawrence Street. Steve, who made the move Monday, said his clients will find this new spacious location very convenient with plenty of parking.

The gift of music is now available in Greenville! Ken Donnell is having a grand opening of his new business, McDonnell's Musicland, this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Dec. 1 – 3 from noon to 6 p.m. Stop by the Main Street store and enjoy refreshments, live music and enter a chance to win a guitar Ken will be giving away.

Dr. Webb offers dental implants
Chester dentist Brent Webb recently completed a residency on classic dental implants. The training covered all aspects of dental implants including design, bone grafting, placements, prosthetic reconstruction and post-operative care. Dr. Webb explains that dental implants replace missing teeth and are an excellent choice for many patients. He also offers economical mini-implants for the stabilization of dentures. Dr. Webb provides initial implants consultations at no cost.
breakfast is now served at 5 a.m.
Adding to their famous lunch and dinner menu, Mill Creek Fish & Chips on Highway 70 in East Quincy is now open for breakfast Tuesday through Friday 5 – 9 a.m. Owners Scott and Delores Satterlee created a morning menu featuring breakfast burritos and sandwiches, biscuits and gravy and their special "Mill Creek Breakfast Boat."
free turkeys every week
It's that time of year when John Papenhausen and the crew at Mohawk Trading Company in Greenville once again usher in the holiday spirit with free turkeys. John has already started giving away three each week, and will continue to do so through Dec. 23. All you have to do is stop by and enter for a chance to win!
And remember, for every gallon of gasoline and diesel fuel he sells during the school year, John will donate a penny per gallon to Greenville High School. Since starting this charitable effort, thousands of dollars have been donated to help fund field trips, science projects, tutoring and achievement awards.
anniversary wishes continue…
Trendz on Main Street in Chester is celebrating its first anniversary this month. The store carries women's apparel and accessories. Since opening, owner Karen Blue has expanded her inventory to include home decorations, kitchen gadgets and a gourmet food section. The "tasting room" has been completely remodeled and offers a sampling of the specialty products that are available to purchase.
John and Tracy Wixted are celebrating their first anniversary as innkeepers of the Ranchito Motel in East Quincy. Besides the new signage in front, they have also replaced the beds, bedspreads and curtains and have installed new flat panel TVs is almost every room since assuming ownership. They are closing the motel Dec. 23 through Jan. 3, 2012, for a vacation break.

We challenge you to spend $100 locally this holiday season
In case you missed our editorial last week during the Thanksgiving holiday, the challenge bears repeating.
Two years ago — thanks to an idea given to us by Supervisor Sherrie Thrall — we began challenging our readers to spend $100 locally during the holiday season. With our still sagging economy it's worth making the challenge again for one reason: a number of you have taken it to heart — and it has helped. Merchants repeatedly told us last year and the year before that it was very common for shoppers to tell them they were participating in the challenge to help bolster our local economy.
If each of our newspaper readers spent $100 shopping at home this holiday season, it would pump more than $1.8 million into Plumas County's economy. (That's based on a conservative average of just two readers per newspaper.)
The $100 —or whatever extra amount fits the family budget — could take the form of gifts from your favorite stores. Thinking outside the traditional gift-giving box, how about the practicality of giving a gift certificate from one of the umpteen restaurants, beauty salons, massage therapists, auto detailers, gyms, golf courses and other service providers throughout the county?
It doesn't have to be just presents. You could spend the money on something more personal. Whether it is getting your nails done for a special party, dinner out or tanking up for a trip to visit family, there are literally hundreds of ways to spend $100 in your town this holiday season — we challenge you to find the ways that best fit your needs and lifestyle.
- Ski hill to open winter 2015
- Sheriff still pushing plan for new facility with CHP
- Plans to rebuild burned downtown block on hold
- Family of man killed by deputy seeking damages
- Quincy cools off with some ice cream
- Many forest campgrounds to open for start of fishing season
- Dine Out for Digging In event supports garden education
- Earth Days Activities in Plumas County
- East Quincy Community Services District considers hiring new general manager
- The future of clean energy is here

Acid mucopolysaccharides is a test that measures the amount of mucopolysaccharides
released into the urine over a 24-hour period.
Mucopolysaccharides are long chains of sugar molecules found throughout the body, often in mucus and in fluid around the joints.
AMP; Dermatan sulfate - urine; Urine heparan sulfate; Urine dermatan sulfate; Heparan sulfate - urine
A 24-hour urine sample
is needed.
There is no special preparation needed.
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
This test is done to diagnose a rare group of genetic disorders called mucopolysaccharidoses, including Hurler syndrome
This test is usually only done in infants who have a family history of one of these disorders.
Normal levels vary with age and from lab to lab. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormally high levels are a sign of mucopolysaccharidosis. Further tests are needed to determine the specific type of mucopolysaccharidosis.

On behalf of the Moab community, the Moab Free Health Clinic would like to extend its thanks to the Telluride AIDS Benefit and the Telluride community for underwriting the cost of Rapid HIV and STD testing in Moab. The MFHC initiated HIV/STD testing in response to the lack of affordable and accessible testing options in Southeastern Utah and is now able to offer weekly testing clinics. Through funding from the Telluride AIDS Benefit, we can now offer these tests to anyone for free in an effort to keep our community informed and healthy. This partnership alleviates one of the most significant barriers to receiving health care: cost.
The Moab Free Health Clinic was established in 2008 in direct response to the community's need for health care for the uninsured and underinsured in our region. Through invaluable financial and volunteer support, we are able to continually expand our preventive and educational services targeted at everyone. Before MFHC staff and volunteers received training to offer HIV counseling and testing, we had to deliver the disappointing news that Moab did not offer low-cost rapid testing and the closest options were hours away. Through training by the Utah Department of Health this past summer and now with financial support from the Telluride AIDS benefit, the Moab Free Health Clinic is able to join in the global effort to fight HIV, a devastating and indiscriminate disease, as well as other debilitating sexually transmitted diseases.
This public health partnership between Moab and Telluride would not be possible without the efforts by Moab PRIDE in connecting the need with the solution. With this recent TAB grant, the MFHC is able to offer free HIV/STD testing at the upcoming Moab PRIDE festival on September 28 to encourage health education and prevention in conjunction with the festival's efforts to promote awareness, acceptance, and celebration of diversity for everyone. It is truly an honor for Moab to know that its friends and neighbors here and in San Miguel County are willing to support the health of our community. Thank you!
– Allyson O'Connor, Executive Director

As the plane gradually lifted its nose toward the sky, an orange--the kind you peel and eat--rolled down the aisle.
The Baltimore Orioles were bored.
For them, this was just another leg of their season--New York to Tampa--and one of the players figured it was a good chance to see if gravity still worked.
But for 2006 graduate and former Hornets baseball player Travis Willey, watching the piece of citrus roll past him on the 737's cabin walkway (like a perfectly laid bunt!) was the good stuff: the behind-the-scenes footage of life in the big leagues he'd always dreamed about.
Travis, a computer science graduate, is a software engineer for Durham, N.C.-based Sports Media Technology Corporation.
You know those hologram-like yellow first down lines during football telecasts? The score ticker at the bottom of the screen? The advertisements that look like they're on the wall behind home plate, but really aren't if you're in the stadium?
That's what his company does.
"When I first moved down here [in 2007], I was a field software engineer and traveled around," Travis says. "My first event was the Summer X Games in L.A. We handled the official time and scoring, put transponders on the racers, set up timing loops to collect data from the races."
Then, last year, Travis joined NBC's Sunday Night Football crew and was on location with John Madden and Al Michaels for every telecast from September to January, flashing red zone statistics across muddy fields from Cleveland to San Diego.
"I would leave on Thursday, fly to the city wherever the game was being held, do set up of the cameras, train the crews, do the game, then come home on Monday. It was a long schedule, but it was fun," he says.
Don't ask him about the games, though. His position required him to stay planted in the always chaotic production truck, a semi-trailer full of crew members, producers and millions of dollars of equipment.
"By halftime, I wouldn't be able to tell you what the score was or, many times, who was winning."
Then there was the Super Bowl, which was any-regular-season-Sunday times a thousand.
"I never really understood what went into covering live events on television. Just the number of people and cables--it was ridiculous," Travis says. "Hundreds and hundreds of people doing their part to put the show on. I don't think people understand what goes into it."
Of course, keeping stats for K-College football games at Angell Field, as Travis did, doesn't quite compare. But it did prepare him. So, too, did other work in 'K's' sports information department.
"I used a lot of Photoshop for [Sports Information Director] Steve [Wideen] and the school, and that helped me for my job now, because I do a lot of work on that side for certain bosses who need to learn more skills on Photoshop," Travis says. "All the experience in the SID office helped me prepare for a career. It definitely got me in more of a professional atmosphere."
There's professional. And then there's Major League Baseball.
Sports Media Technology Corp. has a working agreement with the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, which broadcasts Orioles games. As a result, Travis spent a few weeks in 2008 traveling with the team in order to track pitch locations and speeds and flash them on the broadcast when needed.
"I stayed at the same place as the team, and these places put the Sunday Night Football places to shame," Travis says. "We stayed at the Renaissance Vinoy
"By halftime, I wouldn't be able to tell you what the score was or, many times, who was winning."(in St. Petersburg), which was amazing. It was very old and supposedly haunted from the time of the Civil War, but it had been renovated and the beds were the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in, hands down.
"I had a day off in between games and I don't think I got out of bed until 3 p.m. And that was just to get lunch, then I went right back into the bed. It was sort of like sleeping on clouds. Not that I know what that feels like, but that's the best way I can describe it."
As a kid, Travis always wanted to be a professional baseball player--thought he would be a professional baseball player. It soon became apparent his skills would not take him to that level, but he still loved being a centerfielder at 'K' because it helped him relieve the stress of studying and going to school.
Even with competition behind him after graduation, Big League stars still dazzled in his eyes when he took his Orioles assignment. This was it. This was making it without actually having to make it. But once he got on the road and saw what the daily grind was like, it changed his perspective.
"As great as it would be to be getting paid for something I love to do, I don't think I could do it for more than a couple years," he says. "I do want a family someday and I want to be grounded and stable in one city."
So now, it's onward to the heights of the software world.
Travis was recently reassigned to a web development position within Sports Media Technology Corp. His new title means less travel--sayonara to the 1,000 thread-count sheets, too--and more focus on his new career aspiration.
"I've always dreamed of being a video game designer," he says. "Now that I've switched to web developer I'm getting a lot of the experience I was hoping for."

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: For 2.30$ its a steal if you need to go from hdmi to dvi. Works perfect for me so far. The device is sturdy and well finished, i am very satisfied with it . The free shipping it'a always nice and it did't took as long as i thought for it to arrive.
Cons: None that i have appreciated yet. Maybe the time that dealextreme takes preparing the device to sent or the time it takes for it to arrive (If you dont mind waiting it's fine the way it is).
Other: Buy it without a second thought, it's usefull and the cheapest out there that i have found so far.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Cheap. Good build quality, with gold plated contacts. Works in both directions, HDMI -> DVI-D or DVI-D -> HDMI. Totally solid and reliable connections.
Cons: Nil.
Other: If you need to convert HDMI to DVI or vice versa it is a good idea to get this adaptor has superb build quality and even better price. Make sure you already have a DVI-D or DVI-I cable else get the other connector with male DVI and female HDMI.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: En: Good price and good quality Es: Buen precio y buena calidad
Cons: En: No HDMI sound, because DVI only reproduce image. Es: No pasa sonido, ya que DVI es solo imagen
Other: En: Good price and good quality. Easy to conect and works directly. Es: Buen precio y buena calidad. Facil de conectar y funciona directamente. No se necesitan conocimientos para instalarlo, ni manual, es conectarlo directamente a la salida HDMI y conectar el cable DVI que va al monitor.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Easy and simple installation. I use it with a Raspberry Pi connected to my monitor without any problem. In Hungary the HDMI cables and adapters are very expensive if you can get this kind of adapters at all so this $3.6 is absolutely worth it.
Cons: Not yet but I do not expect any.
Other: Good price, good product. I am thinking about buying another one because all of the monitors in the family have only dvi input and not hdmi.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: -well, despite my mark on price, still cheaper then in local stores (EU). -sits well in HDMI slot
Cons: -"golden" plating seems to be at least very thin, if not entirely from another material
Other: good if you need this kind of thing. i need it to connect my laptop to dvi-only monitor and it is a good solution.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Works as intended.
Cons: The only con being that there is a little tension on the connector when plugged in, so make sure the cable doesn't get snagged or hit; you know the common sense things.
Other: It just works. If you need something like this, just buy it. Works fine for me, no need to worry about this thing as long as you treat it right.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: I wanted to use my PC monitor as a TV screen from my PVR. The monitor had VGA and DVI, the PVR HDMI, component and composite. The monitor came with a DVI cable, all I needed was this HDMI to DVI adapter. Works beautifully - now I use my PC monitor as a 2nd TV!
Cons: Just need to be sure there is enough clearance around the HDMI connector as the adapter is quite bulky. Like all DX items, you may have to wait a couple of weeks so you don't want to be in a hurry.
Other: Cheap and just works as you would expect
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - Really a good price. - Very good build quality. - The plastic is great. Very Hard. - Works as said.
Cons: - This is a DVI-D connector. If you want to use this with VGA monitor or something near, will not work. You will need a DVI-I connector. Does not work for what I want, this is not a cons, but I am sad about that.
Other: You can use this with digital monitors. I buy this product and use together with sku 39291. Works great.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: I bought this to be able to connect my PS3 and Xbox 360 to a Samsung monitor and it worked very well for both consoles. It's cheap, easy to use and build quality seems good for this low prize.
Cons: None i can think of.
Other: Easy and cheap way to connect a HDMI unit to a DVI-monitor. Works with Xbox 360 and PS3. Nice goldplated connexctors. Buildquality seems pretty good. Easy to use. Very cheap.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - I use it connect my second DVI exit on my PC, to my TV, which has HDMI input only. It transfered 1080p with no problem, and what is more the pc was able to recognize the capabilities of the TV. - I also use a couple to connect media players (720p) with LCD monitors(DVI), and works with no problem.
Cons: The adapter is wide when you need to connect the hdmi directly in the unit, so it can block the other exits.
Other: Buy one, you will find it handy sooner or later.

Not for lack of effort, but my baby girl (our first) is due on Christmas Day and we are still completely undecided on a name. Growing up as one of MANY Jennifers, I have always vowed to name my children very unique, individualized names, but nothing too out there where people have to ask you to repeat it or spell it when you introduce yourself. I'm very fond of unisex names such as: Hayden, Harper, Blair, Payton, and Quinn. I also like the cutsie girly names such as: Lily, Molly, Macie, Madeleine, and Ella. And my husband and I even really like Piper which is very unusual and Tegan also relatively unusual. I actually recently fell in love with the name Tegan, but my cousin (not a cousin that I speak to or see but about once a year) just named her baby girl Tegan.
So, I'm in part writing to ask, is it appropriate to still use that name, or is that rude? And I'm also looking for other suggestions that would be in line with the types of names that we like so far. The problem is, besides Tegan, I'm not really head-over-heels in love with any of these names. We do have a family name that we like for a middle name (Maggie), but are open to whatever for that as well. Our main criteria though would be originality, and not simply in variations of spelling. Any feedback on these or other names would be so greatly appreciated! She could arrive any minute!
Jenna writes again:
So our minds have changed somewhat since I last wrote. We are now strongly considering Lily as a first name, but I'm worried about it's growing popularity. It was #27 last year and the trend seems to be upward. Any thoughts? I'm still considering the same alternatives as before and am still open to new ideas. I'm also having a hard time with middle names for Lily...Lily Bella (like the sound), Lily Marguerite (family name), and Lily Noelle (Christmas baby...).
I've had this one in my inbox for AGES, and can't seem to tackle it. The only suggestion that comes to mind is Iris, Iris Marguerite. Anyone else want to give it a try?
Name update 01-10-2009! Jenna writes:
Thank you so much to all who commented on our posting to find the perfect name for our little girl. Teagan Lily was born January 2nd and fit her name

great!Review by DDevlinJr
Price Value Quality
So far, everything I hoped for - but buy lubricant here when you order!Review by Fortuna
I am not a runner or jogger, just an overweight, late middle-aged woman who needs more exercise but doesn't want to walk on rural roads where I live, or join a gym.
Delivery was fast, set-up was easy (it's heavy - if you are a woman alone, you WILL need help getting it inside). The instruction manual left something to be desired, but there's an URL to a pdf file with a more thorough one. I haven't begun using any of the pre-set programs; I'm just trying to work my way gradually to better condition at this point.
If you decide to buy this treadmill, be advised that you cannot walk into Lowe's or Home Depot and find 100% pure silicon to lube the belt -- all I could find available were aerosol products containing petroleum distillates, which are contraindicated. Place an order for it here when you order the treadmill! I bought mine just after Christmas (busy time!), didn't get around to setting it up for another week or so, then couldn't find the lube and had to wait for shipping. In the meantime, since I hadn't been able to use it yet, I forgot to register the purchase. Hope it will be covered if anything goes wrong, even though it's slightly more than 30 days after purchase!
Serves its purposeReview by Sue
Treadmill works well - I did have to get used to the narrower belt than standard gym models.
Hard for me to tighten, but it is still new. I CANNOT lift the treadmill to store it. Too heavy for me.
Great for small condo or apartmentReview by Paula
- I love this treadmill. I've had it now for 2 years, and it works as well as the 1st day I bought it. It fits in my condo without taking up too much room. I walk briskly for 30 minutes every other day as I watch DVD movies, and it fits my lifestyle perfectly. Exercise without any hassles!
Small and powerfulReview by T. Ryan
- I am very satisfied with the TR200 Treadmill. I live in a small apartment and it's compact size works perfectly for my lifestyle. The different programs fit my fitness regime and it is very user friendly. I had never purchased a piece of fitness equipment and lifespan.com made it very easy to do. This machine helps me maintain and achieve my fitness goals . I would recommend it to anyone searching for fitness equipment that doesn't take up a lot of room but still gives a complete workout.

Floodwaters rising after storms deluge heartland
ST. LOUIS — Flood fighters from small Mississippi River hamlets to the suburbs of Chicago staged a feverish battle Friday to hold back rivers, after days of torrential rains soaked much of the Midwest.
Mississippi River communities in Iowa, Illinois and Missouri are expected to see significant flooding — some near-record levels — by the weekend, a sharp contrast to just two months ago when the river was approaching record lows. Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana had flooding, too. All told, dozens of Midwestern rivers were well over their banks after rains that began Wednesday dumped up to 6 inches of new water on already saturated soil.

Patrick J. Concannon, PhD
Cellular DNA damage responses; Breast cancer genetics; Genetics of type 1 diabetes
Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Genetics
Research in our laboratory builds upon our prior genetic studies intended to map and identify the genes responsible for two very different types of inherited genetic disorders: rare recessive disorders such as ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) and Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) that are characterized by hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation, and the common, but genetically complex disorder type 1 diabetes (T1D) that disrupts the body's ability to metabolize glucose. Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome (NBS) is a recessive inherited childhood disease characterized by microcephaly from birth, immunodeficiency, an increased incidence of malignancy and hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation. In an international collaborative study, we positionally cloned the gene NBS1, which is mutated in this disorder. Subsequently, we have used cell biology studies to develop an understanding the role of NBS1 in the complex signaling cascade that is elicited in mammalian cells when exposed to agents, such as ionizing radiation, that cause double strand breaks in DNA. These studies have demonstrated that the product of the NBS1 gene, nibrin, acts in the same pathway as ATM, the gene mutated in A-T, and is both an activator of ATM and substrate for ATM's kinase activity.
Cancer Research-Molecular Medicine
Many of the DNA damage response proteins that take part in the signaling cascade elicited by cellular exposure to ionizing radiation, such as NBS1 and ATM, are also implicated in predisposition to cancer in the general population. For susceptibility genes such as these, the low prevalence of mutation carriers and of exposure to environmental risk factors such as radiation limits the informativeness of standard case-control studies that use a random sample of subjects obtained from the general population (e.g., traditional case-control designs). To investigate the joint roles of mutations in DNA damage response genes and radiation exposure in breast cancer, we initiated the Women's Environment, Cancer and Radiation Epidemiology (WECARE) Study. The primary hypothesis of the WECARE Study is that women who carry a deleterious allele in a DNA damage response gene, and who received radiation therapy as treatment for their first primary breast cancer, have an increased risk of developing a second primary breast cancer. Thus, in the WECARE Study, women with bilateral breast cancer serve as cases and women with unilateral breast cancer serve as controls. This design is based on the premise that by restricting consideration to women with a first primary breast cancer and then studying the determinants of developing a second primary breast cancer, the power to detect main effects of relatively rare genetic mutations and/or their interactions with environmental factors is considerably enhanced. Currently, we are examining the roles of variation in the ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2 and CHEK2 genes in the WECARE Study population. Using cell lines from WECARE subjects, we are also exploring the functional consequences of variation in these genes for cellular radiation sensitivity.
Genetics of Autoimmunity-Microbiology, Immunology and
Infectious Disease
Positional cloning of the mutated genes is relatively straightforward in a disorder like NBS where these alleles are highly penetrant, the disease follows a clear mode of inheritance, and there is little heterogeneity. The genetics of a disorder such as type 1 diabetes (T1D) is considerably more complex and involves the actions and likely the interactions of multiple genes as well as unknown environmental factors, all of which conspire to drive the autoimmune destruction of the insulin-secreting Beta cells of the pancreas. Loss of these cells results in a complete dependence on exogenously administered insulin for survival. Identification of at least the genetic component of this disorder holds the promise of better disease prediction and a better understanding of the underlying pathology. These factors are crucial to developing treatments for T1D that are preventive, rather than simply supportive. Our current studies on T1D are focused on mapping and identifying the major susceptibility genes for this disorder. Some of these genes are known, and, in these cases, we are pursuing translational studies to connect risk genotypes with patient phenotypes.
