Not enough volume from the tub spout? or from the shower head?
New shower heads are restricted to 2.5 gallons a minute.
It wouldn't matter how big the faucet was, they have limiting on them.
I've seen some homeowners drill out the restricter to get more flow in the shower head.

Planned Parenthood: Proposed HHS Rule Would Compromise Women's Health Care
Statement from Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, responding to a New York Times story that the Bush administration is considering a new HHS rule that would compromise women's access to health care and information.
Planned Parenthood is gravely concerned that the Bush administration is days away from an attack on womens health care that would limit the rights of patients to receive complete and accurate health information and services. At a time when more and more families are uninsured and under economic assault, we find our health care system is in crisis and our president taking steps to deny access to basic care.
This proposed rule will put womens access to birth control and the information they need to make health care decisions at risk. The proposed rule will radically redefine abortion to include some of the most common and effective methods of birth control. As a result, womens ability to manage their own health care is at risk of being compromised by politics and ideology.
As one of the leading women's health care providers and advocates, Planned Parenthood will not stand by and watch the Bush administration deny quality, affordable health care and accurate information to millions of women.

The Hildebeast called them terrorists yesterday. Maybe AP didn´t get the memo.That said, the Algerians had to move - or lose the whole NG plant along with the hostages in one huge blast. On the other hand, the Algerians may have tried to contact the White House and the call went to voicemail, again.

Al Qaeda terrorists....from Libya...these are from the same group of terrorist murderers that raped and killed Ambassador Stevens...Both times the terrorists made the same demands for the BLIND SHEIK terrorist...from the ´93 attack on the Twin towers in NY......Obama seems to be in bed with the wrong people...who else would entertain the Muslim Brotherhood in OUR White House...Obama already released one trial balloon about releasing this murderer for "humanitarian reasons" ...which encourages them to keep capturing hostages and murdering Americans....Welcome to Obama´s world...where the hatred and murder of Americans and Christians is encouraged and tolerated...Low information voters, the stupid and greedy" put this nightmare in the WH...Impeach him

AP calls Islamic terrorists "militants" in keeping with Obama´s style book for reporters. Style book permits "terrorist" to be applied to Tea Party supporters, NRA members and Heritage Foundation donors. Islamic terrorists, whether using IEDs, AK-47s or suicide vests, will be described as militants, armed resistance and/or anti-government forces.

I doubt that there is a refinery or nuclear power plant in this world that is currently protected usfficiently to prevent a well trained platoon of terrorists from taking over the complex. With the porous borders of the U.S., how difficult would it be to insert a platoon of terrorists in the States?

The Algerians seemed to be more concerned with killing the terrorists than they were with saving the hostages. I think they made the right decision, the terrorists probably won´t be back any time soon.

Akron Beacon Journal (Ohio) - Ohio receives $6 million for worker training
The U.S. Department of Labor has awarded Ohio $6 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grants for what is called green job training, with a special emphasis on communities affected by the auto industry.
''These funds will help Ohio workers train for good-paying jobs in our state's growing clean energy industry,'' U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown said in a prepared statement.
The grants are to make it possible to enroll 1,600 Ohioans in training, with a focus on dislocated workers, veterans, women, minorities and Appalachian residents.
A projected 1,275 participants will earn industry-recognized certificates for residential energy auditing, building operator and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. [1/22/10]
NewsoftheNorth.net (Wisconsin) - Forest County Potowatomi Tribe gets $2.5 million energy grant
Wisconsin Congressman Steve Kagen announced a $2.5 million grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to support the Forest County Potowatomi Tribe's proposal to implement an integrated renewable energy deployment plan.
Kagen said the project will promote investment in clean energy infrastructure that will create jobs, help the community provide long-term renewable energy and save consumers money.
"I am working hard to bring our tax dollars back to Wisconsin to promote job growth and improve our communities," he said. "This grant will not only improve the energy infrastructure of Forest County, but it will strengthen the local economy by employing the hard working people there." [1/21/10]
KRCG CBS-13 (Missouri) - Nixon creating Youth Corps for state parks
Gov. Jay Nixon is planning to put more than 1,000 young Missourians to work cleaning up state parks.
Nixon says he is creating the 'Missouri State Parks Youth Corps' to provide summer jobs for young people at 85 state parks and historic sites.
Nixon spokesman Scott Holste says the $1.8 million program is being financed with federal stimulus money earmarked for creating jobs for young people. [1/22/10]
Honolulu Advertiser (Hawaii) - New jobs opening to help remove Maunalua Bay algae
The Nature Conservancy has awarded a contract to Pono Pacific Land Management LLC for large scale removal of invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. This contract is expected to create 50 new jobs in addition to the 25 jobs already supported by this project. The new jobs will last for about 12 months. After that period, Pono Pacific hopes to assist workers find meaningful ongoing employment in conservation or related fields.
This work is made possible by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) award to The Nature Conservancy, in partnership with M\xc4\x81lama Maunalua, for Maunalua Bay Reef Restoration. This stimulus funding to restore coastal habitats scales up three years of volunteer efforts to pull invasive algae out of the bay, and enables these organizations to create jobs and accelerate invasive algae removal - the first step in restoring habitat in Maunalua Bay.

I wonder how many members have come into this thread thinking... "Sum b*tch... I wonder.. Is he talking about ME?"
"I did not slap you. I high-fived your face."
That ruckus in the FS thread was just a misunderstanding is all. I believe it's even been resolved. On the ruckus scale it rated about a 1.5 out of 10. Seriously, we need another thread about it like another cable debate.
This stuff happens, it's the internet guys where it's hard to construe the tone of many conversations, let it alone. Maybe the mods can close this one out for the sake of everyone.

I agree Drenis. I really like reading the different posts about music, equipment setup, etc. Most of what I have questions about are the same ones that many have so don't post often but I have learned a lot just by reading the questions and answers of others. Like someone else said if someone is rude just put them on the ignore list and enjoy the other great posters.

It's been a really long run..but Zab Judah was KO'd in the opener of Holmes-Giant Man III in a heartbreaking loss.
Judah has lost too many IP's now and it is not advicable to keep putting him in with bigger, stronger, primed opponents.
But he was asked to fight, hated on, 17 year old pretty boy David Archuleta.
The roads to the top between Archuleta and Judah were very different.
Archuleta fought handpicked opponents to make him look spectacular.
Judah on the other hand..had a rough beginning and fought everyone..worked his way to the top like a real champion..took his beatings and never quit..
Accoring to some writers.....it would be a sad sight to see Judah, who cant fight like he used to, get fed to Archuleta.
Judah isn't a draw anymore too...his last few fights were card openers...apparently Judah was only fighting for the money, cuz he is broke. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Reigning Light Welterweight Champion Timothy Bradley (25-1-2) has stated that he wants to fight Zab Judah for his title. Bradleys single loss came by the hands of Judah when the "Desert Storm" was being tripped into the fight as an 8-0-1 prospect against the veteran Judah.
Bradley: "I have loads of respect for Zab Judah for both being the fighter and the promoter that he is. But I havent forgotten about this fight. I feel I should still be undefeated and I believe that would make me an even greater world champion. And Im sure I would beat Zab if I got the chance to fight him again. And with me being the champ and people starting to recognize me in the P4P lists, I think theres no reason for Zab not to take the fight."

SOURCE Frost & Sullivan
BANGKOK, Feb. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As political crisis raged on in Thailand and the overall economy suffered sharp decline throughout 2013, Frost & Sullivan's research shows that data center service providers in Thailand experienced unforeseen business growth over the year.
Teera Kanokkanjanarat, senior ICT industry analyst, Frost & Sullivan says, "The result from our research shows that Thailand's data center industry had a strong year of growth in 2013. The overall industry growth rate was approximately 21% compared to the year earlier with total revenue over 1,700 million Baht. Despite recent political turmoil and ongoing economic downturn, Thai enterprises, both from the public and private sector, turned their attention to strengthening their data centers. Many began to include data center investment in their business continuity planning agenda."
Frost & Sullivan's forecast shows that Thailand's data center industry will still enjoy strong overall growth of more than 15% in 2014. The 3 key driving factors for growth are the following: cloud computing adoption, rising demand in Disaster Recovery (DR) Solution, and increasing demand of connectivity within ASEAN region.
Teera says "Cloud computing technology has been a widely known trend in Thailand for many years, but prior to 2013, most enterprises were still in the learning and trial period for cloud computing adoption. As cloud computing in Thailand has gained maturity and trust, the rate of adoption has also risen rapidly thereafter. Many data center service providers began offering cloud computing solutions either as Infrastructure-as-a-Service or Managed Cloud Hosting. The rising popularity ranged from public cloud to private cloud for enterprises."
"Disaster Recovery (DR) Site has also been another area of interest since the event of the big flood in Bangkok. Last year we also had a few major shutdowns of data center sites from political movement. So enterprises in both public and private sectors have begun looking for disaster recovery solutions in these unforeseeable events. DR-Site and Solution have then become opportunities for data center providers. Major data center providers have begun offering DR-Site as a complementary service for their customers or as a bundled package for new prospects." Teera adds.
Lastly, Teera suggests that despite political instability in Thailand, we should not overlook the growing importance of ASEAN and its impact to the country.
"From an investor point of view, Thailand still remains the key strategic market for ASEAN. As data center providers continue to improve their facilities and level of their services to meet international standards, more international providers also express their interests in entering the Thai market either as investors or forming joint ventures with local providers."

It's not news that the Chrome support for high DPI (hiDPI) has been a work in progress for some time, and within the past year or so, the proliferation of high DPI displays on laptops has made the need for good high dpi support even more important. I have messed with a few beta features before, and some of them ended up making Chrome completely unusable.
I mostly tolerated the lack of high DPI on 13.3" laptop screens, but now that I work with a 32" 4K desktop display, I can no longer use Chrome without true high DPI support. Unfortunately, the old tricks won't work anymore, but fret not there is a solution that does.

Are there memorable moments that the Oculus Rift is able to deliver to those who are dying? Apparently so, as game artist Priscilla Firstenberg managed to spend some time with an Oculus Rift dev kit in order to assist her grandmother to experience the outside world before she is called home to glory. Cancer patient Roberta Firstenberg was too weak to be able to take a walk around her yard, which has led to her granddaughter Priscilla to use the Oculus Rift so that her grandmother is able to enjoy the great outdoors from the comfort of her home, albeit in a virtual manner.

Leonardo Da Vinci may have been an Arab!
Mar 18, 2010 05:59 PM »
Very interesting! -- J.
Leonardo Da Vinci may have been an Arab, according to scientists who have studied a single, complete fingerprint found on one of his paintings.
The print, taken from the artist's left index finger, was discovered after an exhaustive three-year trawl through his works by researchers at the University of Chieti.
Professor Luigi Capasso, an anthropologist who led the team, said the central whorl of the fingerprint was a common pattern in the Middle East.
"Around 60 per cent of the Middle Eastern population have the same structure," he said.
The revelation will give weight to the increasingly popular academic theory that Da Vinci's mother, Caterina, was a slave who came to Tuscany from Istanbul.
Alessandro Vezzosi, an expert on the Renaissance genius and the director of the museum in his hometown of Vinci, said: "We have documents that suggest she was Oriental, at least from the Mediterranean area.
"She was not a peasant of Vinci. Furthermore, her name was Caterina, which was very common among slaves in Tuscany at the time."
Almost nothing is left of Da Vinci, or his family.
After his death in 1519, his remains were dispersed in a series of religious wars.
The discovery of the fingerprint came after three years of scrutinising 52 manuscripts and paintings attributed to the artist.
Using the latest spectral scanning technology, the team found more than 200 prints, but only one perfect specimen, on a painting called "Portrait of a Lady with an Ermine".
Da Vinci used his finger to smudge the necklace's shadow in the painting, which is from the Czartoryski museum in the Polish city of Krakow.
Not all the traces in the various documents were left by Da Vinci.
Many of them belonged to his apprentices, or to people who handled the manuscripts, said Prof Capasso.
The left-handed Da Vinci often ate while he worked, so some of the grubby marks are food-based, and research is currently being carried out into what sort of diet the artist had.
The fingerprint is also being used to identify two paintings, which may rocket in value to up to £70 million each if they are found to be genuine.
"We are pleased that the fingerprint can be used to authenticate unknown works, or those we are unsure were carried out by the great genius," said Prof Capasso.
A team of forensic policemen from Rome has examined La Madone de Laroque and Saint Catherine of Alexandria for fingerprints that may match the new Da Vinci print.
The paintings are on show at the History of Biomedicine Museum at Chieti University.
The picture of the madonna was bought in a French street market for £142 and has been thought until now, together with the St Catherine, to be the work of Giampietrino, one of Da Vinci's pupils.
However, studies on the paintings show that the tip of the artist's fingers were used to smudge a soft-focus effect, one of Da Vinci's trademark techniques.
Colonel Gianfranco de Fulvio, an Italian police forensic expert, said his team had taken several photographs of the surface of the two paintings and were busy checking to find a match.
"I'm used to working on fingerprints left by the Mafia, but the skill is similar. We are pretty confident about settling the matter," he said.

At the first-ever joint Israel-American wine tasting at the US Capitol, 25 congressmen and other government officials tasted Israeli wine. "Frankly, I never knew that any kosher wine could be good," said Gregory Slayton, US ambassador to the Bahamas. "I started with the Cabernet and I was surprised how good it was. Then I moved on to the Merlot, and it's delicious!" The wine tasting was held in honor of the Congressional Wine Caucus, with a theme of 'America and Israel Together,' seeking to promote American wine interests. Yitz Applbaum, president of the California-Israel Chamber of Commerce said that wine is more than a beverage, but a symbol of hospitality as a means for communication and reconciliation.

Arresting judges for decisions you don't agree with?
This is dangerous. Very dangerous. And Newt is dead serious. Policing thought and criminalizing dissent seems to be so Third Reich.
Yet that's the very clear message Newt Gingrich is sending by saying so-called 'activist' judges should be arrested.
James Sensenbrenner is a large donkey. Discuss..
Was it racist, sexist, or just classist?

KALAMAZOO, Mich. - Kyle Randall hit 6-of-10 from three-point range but his attempt at the buzzer hit the front of the rim and Central Michigan fell to rival Western Michigan by three, 61-58.
Randall hit five three's in the first half, and added three free throws when he was fouled on a three-point attempt, and the Chippewas (11-19, 4-12 MAC) hit nine 9-of-16 as a team to take a 38-34 lead into the locker room.
The Broncos (19-11, 10-6 MAC), who clinched the West Division title earlier this week, led by 10 with 8:14 left in the half but Central was able to come within a possession over the next four minutes. They eventually tied the game at 30 with 2:42 remaining and went up as many as six in the final minute.
The threes continued to fall right out of the locker room as they extended their lead to nine in the first minute but a 13-0 run by the Broncos spoiled the advantage and put the Broncos back up eight with eight minutes to play.
The Chippewas were down five twice in the final three minutes. They responded once with three free throws by Hibbitts, and again with a three by Randall. Western's Nate Hutcheson countered with a three at 1:17 and a pair of free throws at 0:54 to keep Central at bay.
CLEVELAND –The official pairings have been released for next week's 2013 FirstEnergy Mid-American Conference Men's Basketball Tournament. Central Michigan has earned the No. 9 seed and will travel to No. 8 Buffalo for a first-round matchup Monday night at 7:00. The winner advances to Cleveland on Wednesday.
The Chippewas' (11-19, 4-12) fate came down to the wire several times Saturday afternoon. A win at West Division champion Western Michigan (19-11, 10-6) today would have secured the ninth seed. Instead, a buzzer-beater that would have sent the game into overtime hit the front of the rim and made the Chippewas wait for the results of Northern Illinois (5-24, 3-13) at Ball State (15-14, 8-8) and Miami (8-21, 3-13) at Ohio (23-8, 14-2). Both underdogs gave the respective home teams a scare, but both favorites overcome late deficits to win by slim margins.
The Bulls (12-19, 7-9) finished fifth in the East Division and handed the Chippewas a 91-73 loss in Buffalo earlier this year despite 23 points by Kyle Randall and 17 off the bench by Blake Hibbitts. The all-time series is tied at 11 but the Bulls have won five of the last six.
The winner will face No. 5 Ball State at 6:30 Wednesday in Cleveland. Should the Chippewas advance, tickets will be available by phone through Ticket Central (1-888-FIRE-UP2).

We've released a special edition issue of our newsletter, The Researcher, which is now available online through the CRI website.
This issue highlights a game-changing deal that we and our nonprofit partner the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have struck with MedImmune, the global biologics arm of the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca. This exciting new collaboration between a for-profit company and two nonprofits will give us access to several promising new immunotherapies for testing in the CRI-Ludwig CVC Trials Network.
We also announce the winning members of the new CRI-SU2C Cancer Immunology Dream Team. We're delighted to share that our own James P. Allison, Ph.D., has been chosen to co-lead the three-year, $10 million project aimed at bringing effective immunotherapies into the clinic rapidly.
We highlight the story of Mary Elizabeth Williams, a mother of two diagnosed in 2010 with advanced melanoma. She enrolled in an immunotherapy clinical trial and today remains cancer-free. It's a touching story. You can hear Mary Elizabeth tell it in her own words in a video interview she gave us in September 2012.
Last but not least, we share some of the exciting new things happening at CRI as we give our logo a facelift and launch a new website. More to come on that soon!

Cigar Aficionado's panel of travel experts picks the most luxurious, most outstanding, most exciting range of destinations in the world
Larry Olmsted
From the Print Edition:
Jim Belushi, November/December 2010
Five years is a long time in the travel business. That's how long it's been since Cigar Aficionado first tackled the notion of selecting the Best Hotels and Resorts in the World. Since then, there are many more luxury hotels and resorts, despite the tough economy of the last two years.
Americans have continued to expand their travel horizons, and once-exotic destinations have become more mainstream. Hotel industry trends have come and gone, new high-end chains have sprouted, and in short, today's traveler has more and better choices than ever-making vacation planning, in a way, harder than ever.
We are sticking to our original idea. Most travel publications ask readers to weigh in on their favorite properties. But we believe that readers' polls can be grossly distorted-one good example is a recent survey that named a hotel with a single par-3 golf course as the best golf resort in the Caribbean. The results rely on single visits, from people who may or may not have had a good experience.
We have gone about our travel surveys differently every year for the last five years, focusing on topics like golf, beach or vacation resorts or some speficic segment of the travel industry. We choose a group (usually around 30 people) who work in the travel business, even major hotel executives who are then prohibited from voting for their own properties. Check out cigaraficionado.com for a list of our pollsters and the methodology under a new feature called MagPlus. This year, we are revisiting the topic of our original poll in 2005: The World's Best Hotels and Resorts.
Before we get to the results, here is a roundup of how the travel landscape has changed-or not changed-since 2005.
What's Hot: A back-to-basics approach in the hotel industry, stressing the classic strengths of top operators and managers, service and cuisine. Any investor with enough money can build beautiful rooms with plenty of marble and electronics, but today's more discerning traveler is over flash and fizzle and demands first-rate food and staffing to go with the gorgeous physical plant.
The Pacific Rim continues to emerge as one of travel's shining stars, with a staggering crop of true luxury hotels from all the top brands in both the usual suspect cities, Tokyo and Hong Kong, as well as Beijing, Shanghai, Hanoi, Macao and more. The same is true on the resort front, with impossibly gorgeous beach and spa properties throughout Thailand, Indonesia,
Vietnam and the South Pacific. South America is the other hotbed of new discoveries. For more than a decade, industry pundits have predicted the continent's emergence as vacation destination and this finally seems to be happening with wonderful lodging properties in every shape and size, from city hotels to tiny boutique lodges, tucked amongst historic city centers, ruins, mountains and rainforests, along with lavish golf and beach resorts.
Here at home, nowhere is the recent change to the luxury hotel scene more visible than in the ski business. It is hard to believe that no so long ago there was not a single luxury chain operating a slope-side hotel in this country, with just a few independents like the Little Nell and Stein Eriksen representing the entire upscale ski lodging market. Suddenly everyone has jumped in: Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, Park Hyatt, Capella, Aman, Rockresorts, St. Regis, Waldorf Astoria, Viceroy, Montage and so on. Just between the winters of 2009 and 2010 the luxury ski hotel selection in the U.S. will have essentially doubled.
Globally, "authenticity" is the industry buzzword, leading to the demise of the cookie-cutter hotel and rise of the sense of place. As obvious as it seems, travelers to Bali want to feel like they are in Bali, but this was not always the case. This search for authenticity has increased interest in destinations like Bhutan and to ancient ruins, and birthed a market for new hotel-based activities like cooking and language classes and even indigenous spa treatments.
Finally, a slew of new, smaller or imported luxury brands that had very little name recognition-or did not even exist-five years ago are stepping up to challenge the big boys. We saw the names Capella, Como, Shangri-La, Aman, Banyan Tree, Rocco Forte and Montage a lot more than in past polls.

LAURIUM - Ed Vertin is hoping voters Tuesday will not only notice a millage renewal proposal on the ballot Tuesday, but will vote for it.
"My fear is that it's the last thing on the ballot," said Vertin, Laurium village manager. "I worry that people won't vote for what they don't notice."
The millage is a renewal for fire apparatus purchase only, Vertin said. That could be a fire truck or a major equipment purchase, but has to be used for fire apparatus only.
Vertin stressed the millage is a renewal, not a new millage. No additional dollars per year will be passed on to the taxpayers, he said.
"All millages are important, but this gives us maximum flexibility, and it's highly visible," Vertin said. "People will see their tax dollars at work."

Saying "It was Nothing" gets you NADA
"If somebody says that was a great conference you just planned, don't say'It was nothing,'" advises Dawn Penfold, president of The Meeting Candidate Network, a New York — based recruitment firm. "You've got to show your worth … and the return on what you did."
Say Yes to New Projects
"Don't turn down [an assignment] where you might learn something new," says Penfold.
Learn all you can
"Anytime there's an opportunity for cross-training and learning something, learn it," Penfold says. Never turn down opportunities to acquire new skills. "Learning beyond their job responsibilities is key for meeting planners."
Find a Mentor
If you want to advance your career, find someone who can teach you what you need to know. "Try to get a mentor who is fair and objective and is also willing to discuss with you what you're doing wrong and how you should improve," says Birgit Roeterdink, global procurement director for travel and meetings at Organon, a pharmaceutical corporation based in Oss, The Netherlands.
Network, Network, Network
Even if a connection you make doesn't translate into a job, use your built-in opportunity to meet people around the company to learn more about where else you might fit in. "It's a good way of seeing if you would be a match," says Penfold.

This week, when Clark's JSU squad faces Jacksonville, the Gamecocks will go against another coach with a big high school background.
Jacksonville's Kerwin Bell coached Trinity Catholic in Ocala, Fla., to a state title in 2005 and state runner-up in 2006. The following season, he took over at Jacksonville as head coach.
Clark, of course, spent 18 seasons as a prep coach, including nine as head coach at Prattville, winning a pair of state titles and posting a 56-game regular-season win streak.
It always seems there's so much doubt about college coaches who move into the NFL or high school coaches who move into college. As a result, few get the opportunity, and often when they have some strong connection.
In Bell's case, he grew up in North Florida and played at the University of Florida. The high school where he spent six seasons is in Central Florida. Clark is a Piedmont native and a Jacksonville State graduate.
Both are good coaches, too, and it's good to see them both get a chance, regardless of how they got there.

Update: Robbery with a Firearm
On Thursday, February 7, 2013 at approximately 12:30 p.m. the victim left his Prince Street home to run an errand. When the victim returned a short time later he heard noises inside his home and was met by an unknown male carrying a bag containing his video game player and other property. When the victim inquired as to what the man was doing inside his home, the man produced what appeared to be a black pistol, pointed it at the victim and told him to leave the house. The unknown male and another male then fled the house. The victim remained in his home and was able to call 9-1-1 as he observed the two suspects running east along Prince Street then north on Aylmer. Police attended the area and shortly after located one accused in the passenger side of a vehicle in the area of High Street and Frank Road. As a result of the investigation a 15 year old male was arrested and charged with robbery with a firearm, break and enter and failing to comply with his probation. He was held in custody and appeared in court on February 8, 2013. Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act the name of a young offender cannot be released. Through the investigation it was determined the firearm in this incident was a pellet gun.
As a result of further investigation, on Monday, February 11, 2013 at approximately 11 a.m. police attended a McDonnel Street residence where the second accused was arrested. Bradley Kyle Vienneau, 20, of McDonnel Street was arrested and charged with robbery with a weapon, break and enter, point firearm and breach of probation. He was held in custody, appeared in court on February 11, 2013, was remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear again in court on February 13, 2013.
Theft of Motor Vehicles:
Members of the Peterborough Lakefield Police Service Street Crime Unit have conducted an investigation into stolen vehicles within the City of Peterborough since the beginning of January.

The investigation concluded with the arrest of Adam Bembridge, 29, of Kinmount who has been charged with three counts of possession of stolen property, two counts of theft under $5,000 and one count of uttering a forged document. Bembridge was released from custody and will appear in court on March 7.
Breach of Probation Arrest:
On Feb. 7, a warrant was issued for the arrest of the accused, Austin Alexander Taylor, 56, of Dickson Street, for the charge of breach of probation.
On Monday, Feb. 11, the accused attended the Curve Lake Police Service where he turned himself over to police custody.
The accused was placed under arrest based on the strength of the warrant and transported to the Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service. Taylor was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 28.

I like to go out to the bars, and indeed alot of times its with coworkers on work functions. While I get that I shouldn't expect to be able to do thatr everyweekend, why should I have to give up any part of who I am? I love to hunt, fish camp, hit the bars (though I don't get beligerently drunk), and I like to work. I understand that I will have to do LESS of them to make lots of room for her, that I'm willing to do. Why is it then, that so many women in my area seem to think I should change my personality so much?

JoAnne Saxe explains the many benefits of IPE in Medscape
April 1, 2014
JoAnne M. Saxe, DNP, MS, ANP, FAAN, has seen firsthand the value of Interprofessional Education (IPE) in the education of prelicensure healthcare professional students. As a health sciences clinical professor, and Codirector of the Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner Master's Specialty Area at the UCSF School of Nursing, Dr. Saxe is involved in curriculum development and in teaching several courses that integrate IPE principles and content. In fact, according to Dr. Saxe, one of the greatest things about IPE is the number of different ways that it can be accomplished.
Kim Dau Discusses Access to Midwives & Birthing Centers on KHN
April 1, 2014
It can be difficult to learn whether a health plan covers a particular service or provider, particularly on the health insurance exchanges, say advocates. Kim Dau, chair of the policy committee at ACNM's California affiliate, has been trying to learn the extent to which nurse-midwives are included in plans on the California health insurance marketplace. Sometimes certified nurse-midwives are incorporated into physician directories and hard to find in a search, she says.

Hospitals are increasingly giving women the option of going through labor or giving birth in a pool of warm water. Laboring in the tub is fine, the nation's obstetricians and pediatricians say, but there's not enough proof that it's safe to actually give birth in one.

Local trucking companies recognized
Submitted by Leigh-Anne Mauk on Mon, 11/23/2009 - 4:20pm
HCC officials recently recognized three local trucking companies that have supported HCC's Commercial Vehicle Transportation (CVT) Program since its inception. D.M. Bowman, Inc., Hoffman Transport, Inc., and USA Cartage, Inc. were recognized for their contributions and support to HCC's truck driving program.
"For fourteen years, these three companies have lent support, guidance, and equipment to the HCC program," says Margaret Spivey, HCC director, technology and computer studies division. "They continue to sit on the CVT Advisory Committee and offer us guidance. The strength of the truck driving program lies in the support from these valuable companies."
In recognition of their efforts, representatives from each of the three companies were presented with commemorative plaques on Nov. 6, 2009.
For more information about HCC's truck driving program, contact Janie Spielman, HCC commercial vehicle transportation specialist, at 301-790-2800, ext. 449.

"I believe in the Bible. I believe that all good things come from God. I don't believe I'd sing the way I do if God hadn't wanted me to." -Elvis Presley
I'm new to the forum. Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Kajo and am an Opera singer. I have been an Elvis fan since I was 6 years old and he's the reason I became a professional singer.He's my music idol. I have been reading threads on this forum for quite a while so I thought I might register aswell Oh yeah Forgot to say a couple things about myself. I live in a beautiful city in a beautiful apartment in the hills (park forest) with my beautiful wife and little chihuahua baby. We have been married for 3 years now and are together for 5. Last week was our 3rd wedding anniversary. It's funny we've met on the net on a music forum just like this one.

Hey guys!
My name is Rebecca, I'll be 21 in March, and I live on Cape Cod, MA. I've actually been a really huge Michael Jackson fan for 8 years now, and just recently I've been addicted to Elvis Presley. I seriously cannot get enough of him. (I feel like I'm cheating, but oh well haha! They can both be my boys!) His face... like seriously?!? PERFECTION. I love his catchy little tunes, and he's all I've been playing in my car since December, when I fell in love with "Santa Claus is Back in Town." I've enjoyed learning about him so far, and being a Michael Jackson fan, I know there's a lot of WRONG information out there, and the only way to get the RIGHT info is to join a forum and hear it from die hard fans like you, and find other right sources. So I came here to learn and have some fun, no controversy/competition..I come in peace, I promise! I will respect your views if you respect mine. Also, I'll admit, I'll be saving 100000000000% of the pictures on here too! Oh and if you couldn't tell already from my username... I love shoes!
Hello TCB-World,
as a new member I would like to introduce myself shortly. I live in a very small town on the coast in the North of Germany. I am 47 years old, married and father of adult twins.
Elvis is a very important part of my life since 1981. It is connected to infinitely many events in our lives through his music. My wife and I see it as - if one may say this - to friend and family member.
My favorite song is "Suspicious Minds". The albums are going me enormously under the skin are: "Elvis Presley", "Elvis is back!", "From Elvis In Memphis", "On Stage" and "Elvis Country".
Among his films, "Elvis On Tour" is my absolute favorite. I do really aware of collecting only the publications by FTD-Records. Otherwise, I buy what I like.
Since this month, I try to create a small website about my many hobbies. In addition to Elvis, I'm looking for the German author Karl May, XBOX 360, photo editing, drawing, and recently also digital painting. At the time, a look at my site not worth because there is still no content and I'm working on the layout and adjustments.
I hope a nice Exchange about all topics related to Elvis and improve my bad English from the Forum.
One more question: I can't change my avatar. Where can I upload it?
Many dear greetings from Germany
Welcome to our Elvis World!
If you want we can be friends. I can not tell you exactly from when Elvis will control my life ...
For a very long time! I paint and sketch their portraits since I started to love him.
It does not matter, for now I will not write much. I do not know if you want to read :-)
I am writing because I am interested in your website. If there will be Elvis, I'll gladly look into it.
Greting from Polish
Eva (twin sister).
I'll Remember You!!!
yes, the largest portion of my web site is taken by Elvis some time. However, it mine is view until his life, session, films and other topics. The side is in German, though.
I like to accept your friendship. How you fantastically draw and paint!
Greetings Winston
A very warm welcome to you Winston, as well as all new members, have a great time here.
I dream a world where man no other man

With respectable bulk thanks to Eviolite and one of the greatest defensive typing and ability combinations in NU, Bronzor is very easy to fit on most dedicated stall teams. When using Levitate, it is left with only a Fire-type weakness, which happens to be one of the least common attacking types in the metagame. This trait allows Bronzor to wall a giant chunk of NU, including many top threats that stall teams have trouble with, such as Jynx and Golurk. However, do not think you can just slap Bronzor on any stall team and expect a victory. It needs plenty of entry hazard, cleric, and defensive support to properly thrive, as its pathetic offenses, reliance on Rest for recovery, and tendency to be used as setup fodder will disappoint you.
Bronzor possesses the great ability to wall both sides of the offensive spectrum, with Calm Mind patching up its lacking Special Defense. Luckily, with its typing and Levitate, Bronzor usually finds no trouble setting up on common Pokemon such as Golurk, Piloswine, Golurk, and Kangaskhan. It also makes Bronzor immune to Spikes and Toxic Spikes and gives it a resistance to Stealth Rock, allowing it to switch in very often. Flash Cannon is the preferred STAB attack because of its safer coverage with all of the Dark-type Pokemon rampant in NU, but it won't do much damage unless Bronzor has acquired many boosts. Rest is the only recovery move it can learn, but luckily Bronzor's bulk is good enough that it can take multiple hits easily after setting up. Toxic is the better choice for the last moveslot, as even at +6, Bronzor's weak Special Attack keeps it from doing much damage to most bulky Pokemon. Sleep Talk can be used instead of Toxic so that it fares better against Jynx and setup sweepers; with this, however, Toxic Spikes support is necessary and Bronzor misses out on poisoning Flying-types and Pokemon with Levitate.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Despite being blessed with an amazing movepool, Bronzor fails to use almost any of its moves effectively. It can use dual screens, but it cannot hold both Light Clay and Eviolite, making it outclassed. The same goes for Sunny Day and Rain Dance as well, as it cannot hold an Eviolite and a Heat Rock or Damp Rock at the same time. Bronzor has access to many great offensive moves such as Earthquake, Zen Headbutt, Charge Beam, Shadow Ball, and Grass Knot, but it lacks the offenses and moveslots to use any of them successfully. Some cool support moves Bronzor can learn are Imprison, Trick Room, Swagger, and Bulldoze, but they also have trouble fitting in one of its moveslots. The most viable other option Bronzor could use would be a Stealth Rock set, as the only way it would be forced out before it could set up is by Taunt or a rare Fire-type. However, Metang shares Bronzor's typing and has better offenses, so it is the preferable choice for this role.
Checks and Counters
The easiest way to beat Bronzor is to strike its weaker Special Defense before it can get any boosts with strong, super effective Fire-type attacks from Pokemon such as Charizard, Water-type attacks from Pokemon such as special Samurott, or Electric-type attacks from Pokemon such as Eelektross. If a few Calm Mind boosts have already been acquired, strong physical setup sweepers, including Swords Dance Samurott and Shell Smash Carracosta, are best to break through Bronzor's constant Defense stat. Other effective methods of shutting it down include Pokemon with Trick and a Choice item, such as Jynx and Rotom-S; phazers (if Bronzor is not the last Pokemon left) such as Bastiodon, Riolu, Lickilicky, and Zweilous; and Taunt users such as Liepard, Misdreavus, and Samurott. In addition, Steel- and Poison-type Pokemon are immune to Toxic, but unless they have reliable coverage moves, they won't be able to hurt Bronzor.

men are excluded?
Are women usually harrassed in 'normal' running events so feel the need to create an event just for themselves.
Its an odd bit of discrimination in this day and age.
it just another way to stop you racing David.......
on a more serious note our running club used to have a womens only 5k which the men all m,arshalled.that was because there was only a couple of women in the club and they were trying to encourage women into running in our area........
we stopped the race a few years ago as women were now happier to join the club and i think that we almost have even numbers
seren nos wrote (see)
it just another way to stop you racing David.......
One person told me the reason is because of events like where they are all running in a bra or something to support breast cancer.
But two things there.
1) Then dont run in a bra in public if you dont want to be seen.
2) Have you seen what its like to see a bunch of 50+ year old women running around in a bra? Its like watching a science experiment on the effects of gravity.
I guess, if you are thinking about Race for Life type events, then it is a way of really emphasising the mass participation nature of the event. I appreciate this is a paradox, as you are restricting the field in order to ensure a higher participation rate, but I know lots of female friends who wouldn't consider a normal 5K or 10K event (even a parkrun) but happily enter Race for Life. I think, to be honest, that RfL is targetting a whole different market from people who consider themselves runners.
There seems to be two reasons for these events.
One is that some women sadly don't feel comfortable running with guys about. Be that due to vanity, thinking guys will look down on them for running and getting sweaty or being body concious and thinking men will judge them when they aren't in full make-up etc.
The second tends to be female aimed charity events, such as breast cancer awareness and trying to generate some form of female comradery. Although I know at least in Glasgow there is now a men only 10km the month after the now long running and very popular women's 10km race.
I can't say I see it as an issue. It's not like you'd struggle to find an event to run as a bloke. It's just a shame some women are intimidated for whatever reason in a mixed sex race.
I think you are mixing up Race for Life and the Moonwalk. Race for Life - 5km run or walk, women-only, t-shirts are worn. Moonwalk - 13.1 or 26.2 walk, bras are worn, women and men are allowed to participate as long as they are wearing a bra
I just finished reading Marathon Woman by Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to run the Boston marathon with an "official" race number (although they did try to kick her out of the race!). I didn't realise that once she retired from marathon she worked for Avon setting up women-only marathons, which were huge. (The Avon marathon in London was the year before the first London Marathon) The aim was both to encourage women who might have felt shy about joining mixed races to participate and to get women's distance running taken seriously enough for IOC to add women's marathon to the Olympics (they wanted to avoid the argument about women only performing well in distance running if they were paced by men). It was a really interesting book as nowadays I think there is an attitude of 'serious' runners looking down on women-only events, but the Avon marathons played a big part in getting women's distance events recognised by the IOC.
I don't like the idea of women-only events.
It doesn't sit well with me that women feel it's OK to discriminate because they are doing it for the "right" reasons: it smacks of Animal Farm - all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
I think many people who take part in Race for Life do it not as a race, or even a run, but as a fund-raising event, and I think it's a shame that they exclude half the population.
I'm not saying either is right or wrong but there are men only events too. Perhaps that's not equality, but at least it's equally discriminatory.
Actually I remember now where I saw the old women in their bras and thinking about it I was on a training run and I was running through a council estate thats near to where I live so to be honest, it might not have been a race at all, but just the local lasses hanging around the local Londis.

That's just as wrong in my view. Two wrongs don't make a right, as my mum used to say.
What's the justification for it? Shy, insecure, body-consious men don't want to run with a bunch of nasty judgemental women? It will encourage more men into running? Or just because women have women-only races, so we'll have a men-only one?
I used to question women only races, I have no problem with racing men because I beat most of them But I soon realised that I very much come from a background of being good at sport and confident in it.
Men generally have more confidence to just go out and do it, women don't and there are lots of reasons for this, of course including how women have been excluded historically as sport was organised by men for men (did my degree in this shit all those years ago).
I have done a few women only races, and it's actually an atmosphere that does bring out the confidence of some women who wouldn't race otherwise and yes, it's also great to be leading a race, not that I need that on a personal level but it's pretty cool. However one of those races I talk about had Jo Pavey in it, so I didn't win that one!
I have mixed feelings about women's only events: I think they do serve a purpose in addressing an imbalance in sports in general, and running in this particular case, where women are more likely to feel intimidated by events that seem more competitive, serious, or male-dominated. I think it would be hard to deny either that more men than women take amateur running 'seriously', or that men, in general, tend to run faster. I am not intimidated by male runners at all (though I do wish they would be more careful where they spit during races, it's always the blokes... ) , but when I wanted to join a club, I did e-mail and ask if they had any women members (they were quite proud to be able to reply that they had four!), and even I was a little put off by the thought that I might be the only woman. So I can imagine if I were less good at running, less sure of myself, didn't already do races, etc., a women-only event might be a good way in.
However, I do sometimes feel like these mass-participation neon-pink coloured events do tend to reinforce this perceived divide between serious running and women's sport, which is branded more as a kind of girly keep-fit activity and I wonder if it actually does more to reinforce the idea that women can't expect to be competitive or serious about sport. You see it in all the sports shops too, where the men have serious, useful gear, and the women get lots of neon pink trim and no bloody pockets. Grr.
I agree though that there doesn't seem to be any good reason for men-only events. It seems like a sort of 'well, if you're going to exclude us from YOUR races' reaction that completely sidesteps any of the actual arguments for or against.

Did you come second?
The runners I feel most sorry for (to turn this on its head a bit) are the fast male club runners who have to be really fast to win anything or to get GFA for London.

No I didn't actually, I was 4th, she knocked me off the podium... Bitch! (Actually Jo is great and a local girl)
