I am in the process of building two servers, one with a S5520SC main board and one with a S5500BC. Both will have 2 x 5504 Xeon CPUs. I have assembled both machines but experience some trouble. Both machines have a Corsair HX750 PSU.
1) The S5500BC machine won't boot with 2 CPUs. It boots fine with either CPU in CPU_1. There are no beep codes, but the status LED turns from green to amber after a while (maybe 20 seconds.)
2) The S5520SC machine won't accept memory in slots C1 or C2. The memory sticks are fine, they work elsewhere.
Are both boards broken? The first could maybe be a PSU problem but 750W should be plenty I'd think?
Anyone running the same CPU/main board combos care to share which PSU they use?
Any help is appreciated.
It's not just the total wattage, but the amperage on the 12-volt rail, that both processors and memory pull from. There is a list of power supplies (and non-Intel chassis) that do work with dual processors and full memory, at
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5520sc/sb/CS-030490.htm for the SC and
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5500BC/sb/CS-030486.htm for the BC
Thanks for the suggestion. I may have missed something but I wasn't able to find any power ratings for any of the mentioned PSUs, following those links, even the Intel ones.
However, I tried the Power_Budget_Tool spreadsheet linked elsewhere and according to that it should only use about ~30 amps to get either board+ 2 x CPU + memory to POST (everything else disconnected). My PSU provides 62 amps on the 12v rail, so that should be adequate.
The memory I'm using is KVR1066D3E7/1G which is not on the tested list but it seems pretty similar to KVR1066D3E7S/1G which is, the only difference being the lack of a thermal sensor, so I think that should be fine too?
Yes, 62 amps should be sufficient. Do those boards also have one or two additional 2x4 power plugs for the processors? I can't remember.
For the memory, well, if it's not on the tested list, funny things can happen. I think for Kingston specifically, all the memory that *doesn't* act funny on the Intel boards has an "I" at the end.
The S5500BC has 1 x 8 pin, the S5520SC has 2. I'll try with a 1200W PSU with 2 x 8 pin power before I RMA the boards, just to be sure, even though I had planned on using a splitter for the S5520SC.
Hi i have the s5520sc board and corsair psu hx1000 ,i notice that the psu dont have auxiliary power connector and maybe for this reason cpus and ram dont work properly.
So in my case i believe i damage the cpu 2 because i have unrecovable fatal error speeds missmatch ,in bios the cpu2 run at 4400!!!!! i dont do anything at all (i promise ) so i think that cpu takes more power and alleluia.....http://www.google.gr/search?hl=el&client=firefox-a&hs=c2Q&rls=org.mozilla:el:official&sa=X&ei=fx0ZTpGxHcea-wbC_OzXBw&ved=0CCsQBSgA&q=alleluia&spell=1
I really dont undrestand why this happent cause dont happent always...for one hour the cpus dont have speeds missmatch and after a while they have....
in my country we say "malakies" for these situation.
You may want to update the BIOS code stack.
This sounds like an intermitted issue in one of the old bios versions.
(and it really is not running at that speed )
Yeap,it was an old bios problem after all but you know what happent after..

Strut. /strʌt/ [struht] : To display in order to impress others; swagger.
If you can admit you've ever done it, LIKE this post!! – around 15 Ounce Premium Denim, we all agree that the majority of us have – at least once (but probably more often than we'll be honest about) – been guilty of a strut.
Lots of things can be the catalyst for a good strut, though it really can't be forced. Maybe it was those red Marc Jacobs booties I scored at 75% off original retail one weekend-after-Christmas; maybe it was getting that promotion you'd worked your tail off for; maybe it was the perfect skinny jeans you found in your size – last pair!; or the surprise that the guy in the apartment across the hall knew your name when you saw him on your way out this morning…it's the result of something that makes your heart swell and you feel just a little too big/bold/sexy/smart/confident for regular walking.
Well, guilt be gone! – We are excited to introduce Strut Your Stuff Spotlight, where we'll highlight one of our inspirations…someone who makes us want to walk like we mean it – with no apologies to the world!
To launch this feature, we look to the original, incomparable, inspirational Tony Manero (John Travolta), strutting his stuff in a celabratory walk alone through Times Square as the credits roll and the music comes up to close the film, Staying Alive. Get it, Tony.

"I ordered this card in Wintergreen (with the red striped back), using the Pearl White Shimmer paper. The paper quality was beautiful - the shimmer added an elegant special touch to the card. I have not sent these out yet, so I can't comment on the color transfer to the envelope.... but regardless, the card came out beautifully! My only "complaint" with Tiny Prints is that your options to minimize/enlarge and position photos is fairly limited. I couldn't position my photo exactly as I had hoped so had to cut off some of the photo to make it work with this template."
"I loved everything about this card except for the font I chose for the back of the card. It was so tiny you could barely read it. I went with the bracket cutout which looks great on this card."
"This was my first time ordering from TinyPrints and I am in awe! I received very high quality products. My only suggestion with this card -- go for the pearl white shimmer paper! I ordered a sample with shimmer but then my husband vetoed it for our actual card. I wish that I wouldn't have let him, because it really does add a lovely detail to this card. Would I put every card on shimmer paper? Absolutely not, but this one begs for it."
"Easy to personalize with your choice of print and color design,texture finishes,and style choices and number of photo choices.They have a professional designer email you that they are working on the digital design for us ..then they email when ready to ship and shipped...that's excellent services. Shipping is fast. This is second time I have used them and very satisfied and will continue to do so each Christmas."
"The card was beautifully done. I am pleased with the card. The only negative was that the red bled onto the front of one the envelopes that I had paid extra for to have it addressed on the back. So now I have one less envelope."

COVINGTON -- A Covington man has been arrested and charged with rape in connection with an incident that occurred at the Salem Terrace apartment complex on Oct. 2, according to the Newton County Sheriff's Office.
Michael Anthony Preston, 45, of 10706 Magnolia Heights Circle, has been charged with rape, possession of a firearm while trying to commit a crime, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
NCSO Public Information Officer Deputy Courtney Morrison said deputies were dispatched to the apartment complex, located near the intersection of Salem and Kirkland roads where a 19-year-old woman told them she had been raped that evening.
Morrison said the woman said between 10:30 and 11 p.m., Preston, who was a former neighbor living at the complex, arrived at her apartment.
"When she opened the door, he walked in uninvited," Morrison said. "She asked him to leave and he refused. She made another attempt to get him to leave saying she needed to tend to her baby who was sleeping."
Morrison said the woman said she left the room and he followed her into the bedroom where he assaulted her, threatening her with the firearm.
The woman was at the apartment alone with the baby at the time of the alleged incident. The suspect immediately left the scene following the assault and was arrested on Oct. 6.

While the prospect of having hair torn from between our legs is hellish, everything at Agua seems designed to evoke nothing less than heaven. We were greeted at the penthouse with a cup of fruit-infused tea, then led to what felt like a cloud (white chairs, white walls, white drapes). Torres spread on the wax with smooth efficiency and removed it with speed and total control. The modest wax took just seven minutes, but we spent the next hour lounging on the terrace—on cloud nine.
Miami: Body Treatments
Agua Bathhouse Spa at the Delano Hotel
Aida Torres
1685 Collins Ave.
1685 Collins Ave.
Agua's pure white interior bellies the sins of a hard-partying clientele of models, celebrities, and socialites. Their most popular offerings, like the Eve Lom facial for lymphatic drainage, soothe self-inflicted wounds. We try to resist life's temptations (really, we do)—and our milk-and-honey massage was as pure as we'd like to pretend to be.
Aimee Gonzalez
House calls only
Arcayne Salon
Josefina Perez
5580 NE 4th Ct.
When Perez suggested we surprise our boyfriend by taking it all off for the first time, we surprised ourself by agreeing. We'd be lying if we said the wax didn't hurt, but it was at least mercifully fast—we're talking six minutes—and yielded perfectly smooth results. All in all, we were very satisfied that we'd traded up in our approach to paring down.
The Biltmore Spa
Monica Jamette
1200 Anastasia Ave.
The method: The Aroma Swedish Massage uses a scented oil of your choice (ours was a de-stressing lavender blend).
Don't miss: The relaxation room's fresh fruits and views of the Biltmore's lush grounds.
Bottom line: Normally, aromatherapy massage does more for our senses than our muscles, but Jamette dug purposefully into our stiff shoulders, improving the range of motion in our neck.
Cheryl Hall Skin Care & Electrology
Cheryl Hall
7800 SW 57th Ave.
There's a spray-tan spa on practically every block of Miami. So when we heard that a number of local luminaries owe their tawny skin to Hall, we decided to see why for ourselves. The reason certainly isn't the look of the spa, a bare-bones room in an office building. As she tossed sheets over the furniture and instructed us to spread our legs and stretch out our arms, we wondered if we were in the right place. But then Hall sprayed not one, not two, but three coats of color with slow circular motions. By day's end, our skin was gleaming—and after a week, the shade was still shining.
180 N.E. 39th St.
After a rather awkward introduction—our waxer's first words to us were "Please remove your panties"—she lightened the mood with pleasant banter as she got to work rubbing a quick-drying oil all over our bikini area. No one had ever applied oil to our skin before a wax, but it did seem to minimize irritation as promised and didn't interfere with the wax's grip. She spread a hard green European wax everywhere (and we mean everywhere), ripping each of the sections off with one flick of the wrist and quickly pressing the area with the palm of her hand to lessen the pain. By the time we got to the precise tweezing, we knew this spa was a keeper.
European Wax Center
Andrea Collins
1212 S. Dixie Hwy.
Forever Tan
Julia Marrero
284 SW 8th St.
Because we're committed to healthy skin, sunbathing is out of the question—but so is going out in South Beach with an orange tan. With that in mind, we booked an appointment with Marrero, who has a reputation for giving one of the best bronzes in town. She began by misting us with a pH-balanced toner to prevent streaks. Next, she airbrushed us with an organic solution that she promised would fade naturally. Our golden tan looked just like the real thing—only better.
Franck Provost Paris Salon and Spa
Shirley Pear
2001 Biscayne Blvd.
Though cheerful, Pear annoyed us by running 15 minutes late. She talked us into getting a second coat on just our legs—which was an excellent recommendation. What was less flattering: the subtle streaks on our thumbs and relatively dark shade of our feet, which quashed any hopes of claiming our tan was real.

Jerome is the best Creative Director! – I had my hair cut by Jerome, the Creative Director at Red Door this weekend and I have truly been transformed. I keep getting compliments, they seem to never stop! Go and see him, you will be very pleased!
Jerome was polished and professional and far exceeded my expectations, his passion for this business is apparent in his skills, I could go on and on...
Yeah Mallory the Best Colourist in the State – I finally found the best colourist ever at The Red Door Spa. Mallory is young and bright, and really knows all the new methods of doing your colour or highlights perfectly every time.
A very sweet lady, yet professional and efficient.
Makes for a nice relaxing experience in a soothing enviorment.
To have Mallory at my favorite Spa with Chellis for facials is an added bonus. Love the easy parking that is validated up to SIX hours.
Almost Heaven – I have been getting the 80 minute Swedish massage approximately every 2 weeks for several months now. My body feels amazing! The facility, service, comfort and staff have been amazing. Christine has been exceptional and continues to work on and focus on those areas of my body that I abuse due to work, travel and stress. I have experienced other Spa treatments over the years and I would rate this facility as one of the best! Well done to the staff and thank you Christine!
Anniversary special is awesome – I heard they were having a special for their being open for a year, so I went with my friend. I had the facial, she had the massage. We both got a brow wax and then we got this makeup sample which was so cool, they took a picture of our skin and then this machine made a foundation to match me exactly! I really love it, and my massage with Jamie was amazing! My friend said her facial was really good too. I would so come back.
great color great cut! – I just had the best experience with a color and cut at the Red Door. I brought in pics and had a pre-consultation with the colorist, Jason, who ended up giving me just exactly what i was hoping for. The stylist, Doug, who is young had me a little worried (would he be a little wet behind the ears?) but did a fantastic job. I dated a Vidal Sassoon precision cut instructor who ruined me for future haircuts so was pretty impressed when i saw him start using the British technique. When i asked him about it, he said, "yes, I'm using British precision cut but will be finishing with a French technique to smooth it out." The result are smashing! Formidable! I'm gorgeous! I asked him about his training and he's been well schooled. Bravo Red Door, Jason and Doug! I'm a fan!
Ok Spa, BAD HAIR! – I usually have good hair. People always compliment me, so I am usually not to concerned with trying a new stylist, its pretty hard to mess my hair up. Well, not anymore! Elena wrecked my hair!! She was rude and very wierd. She didn't listen to a word I said, or maybe she didnt understand, she barely speaks any english. I should have walked away before she even cut my hair, but I didnt want to be judgmental. She looks like she probably does her own hair, but obviously didnt do it that day, because she still had bed head. She never smiled or even introduced herself, she just stomped back to the hair area and expected me to follow. I then told her I just wanted a trim, she said OK, OK, and nothing else. She then proceeded to butcher me! I look like I have a mullet!! It doesn't even blend at all. My 6 year old could have done better. What kind of company hires such a rude and badly trained technition? I will never go back!

SOURCE Zhejiang Geely Holding Group
SAO PAULO, Brazil, Jan. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. ("Geely Auto" or the "Company") today announced that it has officially entered the Brazilian market with the launch of its flagship model, the Emgrand EC7. The Company has also appointed the Gandini Group, a leading international dealer group, as its exclusive dealer nationally to support the Company's expansion in Brazil.
The EC7's excellent driving performance and outstanding functionality have made it the most popular Geely Auto model, with sales in 20 countries and regions across the world. In November 2011, it was awarded a 4-star safety certification from Euro-NCAP, making it the first Chinese automotive model to score a high-star European safety accreditation.
Geely Auto's products for the Brazilian market will be assembled in Uruguay, with parts of the manufacturing process, including welding and painting, conducted in China. Geely Auto will partner with Nordex, a leading specialist auto assembly provider in Uruguay, whose facility has the capacity to produce 20,000 units of four Geely models: the EC7, the EC7-RV, the GC2 and the GX2. The partnership is expected to directly create over 300 jobs and as many as 900 jobs indirectly in Uruguay. The products assembled in the Uruguayan plant will principally serve the Brazilian and Argentinian markets, in accordance with the South American Common Market Agreement.
Geely Auto regards Brazil as an important market in its global expansion and partnered with the Gandini Group in August 2011 to establish Geely Motors do Brasil LtDa., with the aim of gaining greater local insight ahead of its arrival in the market. In 2014, Geely Auto intends to begin by selling the manual-transmission Emgrand EC7 and the manual-transmission Panda GC2, before introducing other models. The Company also plans to introduce more products to the Brazilian market by constructing a local assembly plant.
About Geely Automobile Holdings Limited:
Geely Automobile Holdings Limited (SEHK: 175) is an automobile manufacturer, focusing on the development, manufacture and sale of passenger vehicles. The Company sells most of its products in the China market and has also expanded its sales through export to other developing countries. The Company sells over 10 major sedan models, which are powered by its self-developed1.0L-2.4L petrol engines.

19845 Cabot Blvd, Hayward, CA | Directions 9454537.655592 -122.139456
By appointment only
AAA+++ ... Absolutely the Best – Rick, Laura & Hector are absolutely incredible and I can't recommend them highly enough!!!
If you value Trust, Integrity & Excellence and your car needs service, don't take it anywhere else but PR Motorsports.
The #1 priority for Rick & his team is the relationship they establish with their customers, and their work is of the highest possible quality!!! ;)
Greatest Auto Shop EVER – Every once in a while a person is lucky enough to find a business like PR Motorsports. Rick Weldon (owner) and crew are fantastic. I had a large project to do with my 2008 Mazada Miata and I have never seen such clean, knowledgable work performed. I was kept informed 1-2X/day with emails in between. I was treated with the utmost respect, which I noted all of their customers were. If you own a Mazda or other Japanese car this is the place to go. Prices are extremely reasonable
Drive On Over – Other people have already mentioned Rick's shop is THE place for Miata work in the Bay Area. I wanted to share a few anecdotes about my experience with PR Motorsports in the last ten years or so I've been doing business with them:
A) A few years back, my girlfriend's Miata developed some sort of clutch/transmission issue. We took it to a mechanic and they diagnosed it as needing a replacement transmission -- about a $1600 job. I went to Rick and said "look, another shop said I need a $1600 transmission job. If you think that's what I need, I'll give you the $1600 right now to do the work." They looked at the car for about 10 minutes and came back to me with "well, it looks like the slave cylinder's in need of replacement. It's about a $150 job, but if you want to give us $1600 for it, we won't argue." :)
B) Stupidly, I let the car flood (left the roof down; massive storm) and sit for about six months. I came back to PRM and told them "I don't know what's going on with the car. Check it out, you're authorized to do up to $500 of repairs on it, if you need more money, give me a call." They called me two hours later. "We checked everything out. Your O2 sensor was a little loose. $50";
C) When I got married, my wife was concerned that the car (it's 19 years old at this point) wasn't going to last and wasn't particularly safe. I had her call Rick and they had a LONG phone conversation. Whatever he said, she left that conversation loving the car and loving PR Motorsports. My WIFE loves my mechanic;
D) My clutch has been sticking and hard to push in lately; I dropped into PRM today and asked them to take a quick look and tell me how bad of a problem I may be having. Hector sat in the car, adjusted the floor mat, and said "OK, go ahead and give it a test drive." OK, I feel stupid. I came in and asked "how much do I owe you?" and they laughed at me. "What, for 60 seconds of looking at your car?"
Rick's saved me thousands of dollars on repair work; everything PRM has done on my car has been done to the highest possible level of quality; they've done all my maintenance and all my optional, custom work (rollbar, engine upgrade, etc). I trust PRM. Completely. Don't go anywhere else.
Best and only mechanic for miata in bay area! – Ever since I got my 99 miata, I've had bad experiences one after another until I found PR Motorsport almost two years ago. Unlike other mechanics I've dealt with, they are straight forward and honest. They don't patronize their customers and are always very friendly and patient in explaining their work. Although they are not the cheapest, they don't gouge you like many places I've been to. They suggest what needs to be done and tell you what's unnecessary. I've had problems with my car that others weren't able to fix. I thought I was stuck with a lemon but PR Motorsports saved me from that fate. Now, I get all my work done there and I would recommend them with confidence to anyone.
Simply the BEST! – Some years ago, maybe about 1999 or so, I bought a used Mazda and searched the yellow pages for a repair shop for it. Quite at random, I called PR Motor Sports. A woman answered. Even though I personally know very little about automobiles, I asked to speak to ?a mechanic? ( a MAN, of course). Laura suggested that she might be able to help me. Reluctantly, I posed my questions. As it turns out, she knew more about cars than any male mechanic I had ever known, and thus was borne our family?s undying allegiance to Rick & Laura and their crew at PR MotorSports..
Despite the long drive from our home in Oakland to Hayward, we would not CONSIDER having anyone else work on our cars, and ? in fact ? before we ever BUY a car, we ask for Rick & Laura?s opinion and would not dream of buying any manufacturer?s car that PRM does not support.
These guys are THE BEST: honest to a fault, totally competent and thorough, AND fairly priced. They feel like ?family? to us.
Don & Kathleen, Oakland
Experts who are honest, a great combination. – I echo the chorus of positive reviews for PR Motorsports. I have had a long history of mediocre mechanics and dropped by PRMotorsports to see if the online buzz was legit. I was impressed in their quick ability to assess my car, prioritize the work and their willingness to make suggestions that might result in a more cost effective result (they are not the cheapest place around but it is nice to hear which work needs to be done immediately and what can wait or not be done at all and that is money in the bank to me, as is doing the job right and backing it up). They are serious about their work and they treat their customers very well. I saw high performance cars and their customers who were treated as well as folk who were clearly on a fixed income and who were just trying to keep their cars running and safe. Rick and his team treated them all the same and that was refreshing too. To sum it up: they know their stuff (and my car) and they are honest. What more could I ask for?
(until recently I lamented that they did not also work on VW's but I recently found a great shop for my Passat too, but that will be another review)
Great Service – Rick and the PR Motorsports crew are the best. In my dealings with PR Motorsports I have always gotten excellent information and service. They will only propose work that they know is needed. At times Rick has talked me out of doing something to the car. I just had brake problems and they spent an hour analyzing the cause, identified the source, knew it was something I could correct myself, and sent me on my way with a project to work on because they knew I did most of my own mechanical work. What other shop would go to these lengths. All my recent major work has been done at PR Motorsports and will continue to be done there.
As good as it gets, I'll be using Rick until I can't drive anymore – Rick and his crew at PR Motorsports are as good as it gets when it comes to Mazda, Acura & Honda service. I've been using PR Motorsports since 2000 and they've serviced my 1992 Miata, 1994 Miata, 1994 Spec Miata Race Car, and 1997 Mazda Protege. Rick will tell you straight up what you need, with no BS. They don't pressure you to do unnecessary repairs or maintenance, rather Rick goes out of his way to educate you on what your car needs and when you might need the next service or repair. I give PR Motorsports 2 thumbs up, make that 10 thumbs up!!!
A place to trust! – They first started servicing my Acura back in 1990, and have since taken care of all my cars - later a Mazda, and most recently my Toyota. Although I'm a bit far away (in S.F.) I feel that it's worth the trip to have someone I can trust taking care of our family's cars. Highly recommended.
I'm True Blue – If there were six stars to rate PR Motorsports available, I'd give it seven! Rick Weldon has been servicing my 1991 Mazda Miata from day one when I first bought it nearly eighteen years ago. In fact no other shop has really ever worked on it except for specialty things that the his shop doesn't handle, (and in that case, Rick sends me to extremely reliable shops who will!) This is all to say that I completely trust PR with my car, always have. They are honest beyond belief, trustworthy and so friendly. I just had a major service there which took some time and yet felt comfortable staying and chatting the entire time and watching what was going on. I learned about PR early on in 1991 from the Miata Club whose members all brought their cars to Rick. From the first time on I was thrilled to have found them right away without having to shop and search for reliable service. They have become almost family to me by now. The shop is so clean you could eat off the floor! They keep up on all the newest developments on automotive technology so there's never concern on my part. Also their prices are extremely reasonable.
I travel from Walnut Creek to this shop, and now my husband is taking his Acura here as well.
Which is to say, I'm true blue.

State mandates health insurance for transgender patientsApril 29,2013Leaders in the medical and LGBT communities are celebrating a new health bulletin they say will require insurance companies to cover medically necessary services for transgender Vermonters a mandate that will include gender-reassignment surgery.
The bulletin, issued by the Vermont Department of Financial Regulations Division of Insurance, says that DFR is committed to ensuring that Vermonters do not face discrimination in accessing medically necessary health care benefits, including those based on gender identity and gender dysphoria.
This is both a simple question of fairness and a matter addressed by existing insurance law and DFR regulation, the bulletin says.
Corey Mallon, with the Vermont Equal Care Coalition, said the clarification will help eliminate roadblocks to care for a population vulnerable to bias.
Many health insurance plans categorically exclude gender transition-related care for no reason other than stigma and bias, and that is wrong, Mallon said in a written statement. There is no principled reason for denying a transgender employee medically necessary health care.
A press release issued by RU12? Community Center said Vermont joins a growing number of states that have issued similar guidance to insurance companies.
Transition-related health care is medically necessary for many transgender individuals whose health and well-being depends on bringing their physical body into alignment with their gender identity, the release said. And determination of what care an individual patient needs properly rests with medical providers, not insurance companies.
Mari Cordes, a registered nurse and president of the Vermont Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals, called the bulletin a momentous achievement.
We are extremely pleased that yet another barrier to receiving quality health care has fallen, Cordes said.

With just two weeks remaining until the May 11 date by which legislative leaders are looking to drop the closing gavel on the 2013 session, action will be heavy this week as lawmakers try to push ahead with some of the major unresolved bills.
The Senate Committee on Appropriations convenes today, when its expected to vote out a $5.3 billion budget that will include some key revisions to the version passed by the House earlier this year. The committees final product will include controversial decisions on funding for low-income heating assistance, thermal efficiency programs, child care subsidies, and other programs competing for scarce resources.
Senate President John Campbell said earlier this month he intended to trim from the House budget, and his appropriations committee seems poised to deliver.
Later this week, the full Senate heads to the floor to debate the $10 million revenue proposal that passed unanimously out of the Senate Committee on Finance on Friday. Perhaps most controversially, the package would cap the home mortgage interest deduction at $12,000, a provision that has drawn sharp criticism from Gov. Peter Shumlin. The bill would also create a minimum income tax liability of 3 percent for Vermonters with an adjusted gross income of more than $125,000 per year.
Over in the House, lawmakers will have a busy, and contentious, day Tuesday when two major bills hit the floor: end-of-life choices and universal pre-kindergarten education.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Three Vermont ski areas at least partially located in the Green Mountain National...

Today I wiped out going to a long visit with my midwife (now we're starting every two weeks! How exciting!) and HOT day grocery shopping with no AC.
Not sure what we're having. I'll have to see what he feels like that's easy when he gets up from his nap..... Maybe tuna salad sandwiches?

Spider-Man will be swinging around, after the events of my previous story, and will draw (as he was attempting to) the attention of Electro. Spider-Man, as he is about to subdue Electro, is blown away by Mysterio who flew in. Mysterio engages in brief combat with Electro before Spider-Man intervenes. Mysterio, irritated by Spider-Mans constant involvement, flies (using technology very similar to Iron Mans) and grabs Spider-Man. Spider-Man flies away, carried by Mysterio. He fights Mysterio for a little while but realizes that he left civilains in the presence of Electro. Spider-Man goes back to find that Electro slaughtered a huge group of civilains. Spider-Man gets angry and goes back to find Mysterio, but he is gone too. This is a lesson learned for Peter Parker. He sees Miles on the news, with a new Spider-Man costume and realizes that he now has to deal with an imposter. He decides to go after Miles the following day.
Meanwhile, Miles was in the crowd. After witnessing the slaughtering of the people (some children) and realizing that there just arent enough heroes in the city for all the bad people in the city and that, had he not been so afraid, he couldve helped either Peter or the civilains. Miles decides to take up the mantle as yet another Spider-Man, to help people. He goes out, using Gankes costume, and goes looking for a crime. (Insert crime here.) The whole world thinks that Spider-Man is there, with an even worse costume. Miles feels good about helping but realizes this might cause problems between him and the original Spider-Man. Despite this, Miles decides it is more important to help people. (The origin, ORIGIN stays the same as there really doesnt seem to be a conflict with that and Peter being Spider-Man.)
Will this work for you? Or no?

Happy New Year everyone! Yes, I know the year is hardly new any more but, hey, a girls gotta hibernate a bit in this deep freeze. In true Winnipegger style, I went out in -39°C weather today to attend an outdoor birthday party involving skating, tobogganing and snowman-topped cupcakes. While warming up in the park shelter by the fire, a topic of discussion was the prevalence of single mittens this time of year. Sound familiar? In honour of such a tragic albeit common occurrence, I have put my Mitten Leashes on sale for the remainder of the winter. Get em while theyre, ahem, hot!

By looking at the gap in entries between this one and the previous one you might be thinking that Small Potatoes has taken a bit of a hiatus. However, that couldn't be further from the truth. The Small Potatoes Web department* has been working hard to bring you a fresh and shiny new online experience.
With the help of 11 amazingly talented baby models (and their mamas) and photographer, Ian McCausland, theres a whole bunch of super cute new photography. Ive also spent countless hours sourcing some absolutely amazing new fabric that Im sure you will love.
As well, theres a new shopping cart system to make your purchasing a little easier and it also allows me to finally sell online gift certificates. Your comments, as always, are greatly appreciated. In fact, you can now review individual products and share them with your friends. I hope you enjoy the new site. Stay tuned for more new features!
*really, just me with the help of my extremely talented programmer-wizard brother.

I'm looking forward to starting a fresh new year with some new products and some amazing new fabrics that I am so excited to share with you. Happy New Year!

Sugars are found naturally in milk and milk products (lactose) and fruits (fructose). Most of the sugar in the American diet is from sugars added during food processing and preparation, or at the table.
Sweeteners made with different sugars:
When you eat foods containing natural sugars (such as fruit), these foods also include vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
However, many foods with added sugars contain nothing but calories. These foods and drinks are often called "empty" calories.
Most people know that there is a lot of added sugar in soda. However, many people do not realize that popular "vitamin-type" waters, sports drinks, coffee drinks, and energy drinks also contain a lot of added sugar.
Some sweeteners are made by processing sugar compounds. Others occur naturally.
Sucrose (table sugar) is made from a low-sugar beet juice or sugar cane.
Other commonly used sugars include:
Sugar alcohols:
Other types of natural sugars:
Sugar provides calories and no other nutrients. Sugar or caloric sweeteners can lead to tooth decay
Large amounts of sugar-containing foods, along with other carbohydrates and fats, can cause obesity in children and adults. Obese people are at much higher risk for type 2 diabetes
, metabolic syndrome
, and high blood pressure
Sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol may have a laxative effect when eaten in large amounts.
Sugar is on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) list of safe foods. It contains 16 calories per teaspoon and can be used in moderation. All of the types of sugars described in this article can be used in moderation.
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends limiting the amount of added sugars in your diet. The AHA recommendations focus on all added sugars, not just one type, such as high fructose corn syrup.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans also recommends limiting added sugars. Strategies to reduce added sugars include:
The American Diabetes Association nutrition guidelines now state that if you have diabetes, you do not need to avoid sugar and foods that contain sugar. You can eat these foods in place of other carbohydrate foods, in limited amounts.

This management measure involves limiting the impact of pesticides on water quality by educating residents and businesses on alternatives to pesticide use, and on proper pesticide storage and application techniques. Pesticides in stormwater runoff directly affect the health of aquatic organisms. Their presence in drinking water also threatens human health. Insecticides, such as diazinon and chloropyrifos, are of greatest concern because even at low levels they can harm aquatic organisms (CWP, 1999 and Schueler, 1995). A recent U.S. Geological Survey of urban streams found that some of the more commonly used household and garden insecticides occurred at higher frequencies and concentrations in urban streams than in agricultural streams (USGS, 1999). The study also found that insecticide concentrations frequently exceeded USEPA guidelines for protecting aquatic life.
Homeowners applying insect and weed killer to their lawns and gardens are the biggest source of pesticides contaminating urban streams. Every year, they apply an average of 5 to 7 pounds of pesticides to their well-maintained lawns (Schueler, 1995). Pesticide pollution prevention plans try to limit the adverse effects of insecticides and herbicides. They do this by providing information on chemical-free alternative pest control techniques and by explaining how to determine appropriate pesticide dosages. As part of their outreach message, lawn care and landscaping management programs often include information on proper pesticide use.
EPA estimates that nearly 70 million pounds of pesticides are applied to urban lawns each year. Table 1 compares surveys on residential pesticide use in eleven different areas of the country, broken down by insecticides and herbicides use. It appears that pesticide application rates vary greatly, ranging from a low of 17 percent to a high of 87 percent, but climate is an important factor in determining insecticide and herbicide use.

Notes: (**) note difference in self-reported herbicide use and those that use a weed and feed product (herbicide combined with fertilizer)
Insecticides appear to be applied more widely in warm weather climates, where insect control is a year-round problem (such as in Texas, California, and Florida). In warm weather areas, between 50 and 90 percent of residents reported that they had applied insecticides in the last year. This compares to 20 to 50 percent reported in colder regions, where hard winters help keep insects in check. By contrast, herbicide application rates tend to be higher in cold weather climates, where it is used to kill weeds that arrive with the onset of Spring (60 to 75 percent in the Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota surveys).
Design Considerations
A popular way for program managers to educate residents and businesses on alternatives to chemical pesticides is integrated pest management (IPM). Employing a holistic approach to pest control, IPM examines the interrelationship between soil, water, air, nutrients, insects, diseases, landscape design, weeds, animals, weather, and cultural practices before selecting an appropriate pest management plan. The goal is not the elimination of pests. Rather, IPM programs seek to manage pests at an acceptable level while avoid environmental disruptions. IPM programs combine preventative practices with non-chemical and chemical pest controls to minimize pesticide use and to promote natural pest control. Non-chemical pest controls employ good bugs to eat pests. Cultural pest controls include handpicking individual pests and removing diseased plants. Bug zappers and paper collars are examples of mechanical pest controls. Each method reduces the need for chemicals. When pesticides are needed, IPM programs urge users to try less toxic products like insecticidal soaps. A central concept of IPM, reducing herbicide use, is driven by rising tolerance levels among certain weed species. See USEPA's Integrated Pest Management and Food Production fact sheet or Integrated Pest Management at Iowa State University website for more information on IPM.
Many lawn care and landscaping management programs include education on proper pesticide use. This is most often accomplished though informational brochures and fact sheets on pesticide use in the home and garden. Informational packets include tips on identifying pest problems, selecting environmentally friendly treatment approaches, less-toxic chemical pest control products, and proper pesticide mixing, application rates and cleanup procedures. Program managers can consult cooperative extension programs and university agricultural programs for more information regarding water quality-friendly pest control techniques.
The greatest limitation program managers face is the public's perception that no alternatives to pesticides exist. Surveys suggest that the public is well aware of the potential environmental dangers of pesticide use. In several surveys, residents ranked pesticides as the leading cause of neighborhood pollution (Elgin DDB, 1996). Despite this, pesticide use remains high in many urban areas (see Table 1). The time homeowners need to learn about alternative pest control techniques may limit program effectiveness. Many residents prefer the ease of spraying a chemical on their lawns to other pest control techniques they perceive as more time intensive and less reliable. Managers should recognize that IPM programs have their own limitations, including questions about the effectiveness of alternative pest control techniques.
Cooperative extension and university agricultural programs across the county have studied the effectiveness of alternative pest control techniques, both at limiting pesticide use and at protecting water quality. A national report synthesizing these findings remains to be conducted, however. Despite this, recent studies on insecticides present in stormwater confirm the need for pesticide control programs. Based on results from recent urban stream sampling, the USGS concluded that the presence of insecticides in urban streams may significantly obstruct their restoration (USGS, 1999). Table 2 examines eight studies on stormwater runoff and insecticide concentrations. It provides an example of how insecticides persist even after their use is discontinued.
Research on diazinon use in the San Francisco Bay region also confirms the need for pest control programs. Studies reveal that diazinon use even among just a few individual homes in a watershed can produce harmful diazinon levels in urban streams (CWP, 1999). Due to diazinon's solubility, current stormwater and wastewater treatment technologies cannot significantly reduce diazinon levels. The best tool for controlling diazinon use in urban watershed is through source control - educating residents and businesses on pesticide alternatives and on safe application methods.
An example of a successful IPM program is Eugene, Oregon's Grounds Maintenance Program. Begun in the early 1980s, the program includes all city public parks and recreation areas. The city uses a variety of IPM methods, including water blasting to remove aphids, insecticidal soaps, and the limited use of pesticides. The city has also adopted higher tolerance levels for certain weed and pest species, reducing the need to apply pesticides and herbicides. Since the program's inception, Eugene's pesticide use has plunged by more than 75 percent (Lehner et. al., 1999). Although exact cost savings haven't been calculated, the city's turf and grounds supervisor believes the IPM program has saved money while producing little citizen opposition.

Cost Considerations
The cost of educating residents on proper pesticide use varies depending on the intensity of the effort. Some cities have begun partnerships that include training retail employees on IPM techniques, similar to those of lawn care and landscaping programs. In addition, the partnerships assemble promotional materials and displays on safer pesticide alternatives. Cost estimates must include expenditures of staff time for training and materials production. Since a number of good fact sheets on IPM and pesticide use are available through cooperative extension programs, managers should consider using these resources instead of creating new ones. Using master gardener volunteers to help train residents and store employees is another cost saving measure.

Carlos Garibay, 38, faces a charge of theft of service after San Antonio police said he skipped out on a $3,700 repair bill for his pickup.
An arrest warrant affidavit stated that Garibay took his 2006 Honda pickup in for repairs on Sept. 8, and received notice that the work was complete on Oct. 5.
The affidavit stated that Garibay was not satisfied with the job that had been done, but went in anyway on Oct. 22 to retrieve his truck.
The affidavit stated he could not pay the bill worth more than $3,700 because he did not have a credit card, which is required by the shop.
Police believe Garibay returned the following day and used a spare key to drive his truck off the lot, without paying the bill, the affidavit stated.
Garibay told investigators he had taken his pickup to another shop and paid to have the repair work done again, the affidavit stated. Garibay was arrested Thursday, with bond set at $5,000.
