not quite what i was looking for

Comments about Dr. Scholl's Leather Sandals:
They don't look the same in person so I was disappointed and decided not to keep them. I tried them on and they felt comfortable but I didn't walk around in them or test them out.

About Me Casual
I have had a pair of these same sandals, only they are so old that the pattern differs a bit. But they are so comfortable and have worn so well, that I hunted for a replacement pair online, in stores and catalogs and even with Dr. Scholls. How happy I was to find these!!! And once again they came in 'Wide', which is always my nemisis in shoe shopping. Now I can only hope they will become an old standby in the catalog so I can go right to them next time when needed.

ROCKFORD — The city has closed a church's overnight warming shelter, and it has become national news.
The Rev. Dave Frederick of Apostolic Pentecostals of Rockford Church, 840 Mattis Ave., said he may fight the city's order that would prevent the shelter from reopening next winter.
"I think a church has the right to let someone sleep on a pew," said Frederick.
This winter, one of the coldest in memory, the church shuttled homeless men and women from downtown to the southeast Rockford church on nights the temperature was below 30 degrees. They slept in the sanctuary. The bus would bring them back downtown in the morning, weather permitting. The church's program began Nov. 1 and was supposed to end Feb. 28. The city allowed the shelter to operate until March 10, he said.
The Rockford Register Star wrote about the shelter in January.
But the shelter was operating without proper permits, according to the city. The city issued a news release in response to a story posted on the Huffington Post website that Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey said was inaccurate.
The city worked with the church six weeks on improvements that would allow the church to get a special use permit to run the shelter. They included better screening of guests to insure that the environment was safe and developing an emergency plan to evacuate the church in the event of a fire.
"The church's good intentions and the severe winter our homeless population suffered through over the past three months was taken into consideration as we worked through the ordinance requirements and attempted to coach them towards compliance," said Todd Cagnoni, director of the city's Community and Economic Development Department.
Frederick said fire sprinklers were among the issues at the church.
"We have church there and we don't have sprinklers," Frederick said. "All the things they were saying we couldn't do, (but) we can still conduct church services. It's kind of weird, really."
Frederick said the city told him he needed C-4 zoning and needed a license to operate as a mission. But he said the church wasn't operating as a mission, only as a temporary warming shelter to make sure homeless people had a warm place to sleep on cold nights.
Frederick said in an email last week that people are sleeping in abandoned buildings, in parks, under bridges and other places where there are no sprinklers.
"A building without sprinklers is much better than where they were staying," Frederick said.
Frederick said maybe the answer would be to open the church to all-night prayer meetings.
"If someone falls asleep, then they fall asleep," he said.

e ews Vol.. XI. No. 18 BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY. MARCH 11,1925 Price 10 Cents DYNAMIC LIFE OF FOX DESCRIBED BY DR. JONES No Creed, No Infallible Church, No Infallible Anything, is Mystic's New Religion of Reality HAD FAITH EVEN IN CRIMINALS afc A man of vigor, power, common sense, originality and vision was George Kox, ac- , cording to Dr. Rufus Jones' account of him in the Founders' Lecture in Taylor Hall last Wednesday evening. Dr. Jones is the presi- dent of the Board of Trustees and of the Board of Directors of Bryn Mawr and he is also one of the leading authorities on the Society of Friends in America. "In a little hamlet called Fenny Drayton, George Foxr prophet, mystic and reformer was born in 1624. At this time, the Refor- mation was 100 years old; Shakespeare had been dead eight years; Cromwell was 25 years old, and the King James version of the Bible had been made 10 years before. "Like the parents of Martin Luther, George's father and mother, were simple country people, rugged, honest, downright. By present-day standards George was an ab- normal boy. At_ll, he knew pureness and righteousness. He was shy and retiring and never played with anyone. "When he was 14 there came to his town a new minister steeped in Calvinism and hatred of the sinfulness of human nature. After listening to him for two hours every Sunday, George broke with religion. He decided that preachers were hollow and artificial, that religion was a sham, and that he would have nothing more to do with it until he found for himself a religion of reality. He left his family and with no luggage but the Bible and a few clothes, walked up and down the country visiting every man who seemed to him to stand for reality. "After four years he had a rengious ex- perience and found God. In 164%he started out to tell England of his new religion. At first he met with stubborn resisA^ce, but after three years he came upon some secret religious sect, called the Seekers. These joined his movement in large numbers�700 at one place and 1000 at another. "Before he died in 1691, Fox was ar- rested 60 times because of his beliefs. He was imprisoned eight times and spent many years in the worst dungeons in England. Once he was locked up in an open cell ex- posed to the spray of the North Sea, which came in through the paneless window. He had to bail the water out with a pewter platter. "Often his life was threatend. Once when a man came at him with a naked rapier, he quietly asked: 'Alack, poor man, what wouldst thou do with thy carnal weapon? I care no more for it than for a straw.' "Always his eyes seemed to have power. Riding through Cambridge one day he was attacked by a mob who waited to drag him from his horse. They attacked his com- panion but they would not attack him. 'He shines, he glistens!' they cried. "He had a dry sense qf humor. Once when people were crowding around to hear him speak, he sat for three hours upon a hay stack, because he saw that what they needed was to be 'starved for words'." . Speaking of Fox's spiritual contributions. Dr. Jones said that Fox passed over entirely from a religion of doctrine to a religion of experience; a personal consciousness of God's presence in human lives which makes one go out and DO something. He revolted from the Calvinistic idea of man as a creative depravity and made a new estimate of human nature. When he saw COMTlHUfD ON PACC 3 FRANCES JAY, '26, ELECTED PRESIDENT OF SELF-GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION FOR 1925 Frances Jay, '26, will be President of the Self-Government Association for next year. Sophomore year MisS Jay was secretary and treasurer of the.Athletic Association, and on 1926's first teams in all the major sports. This year she is President of her class, 'Varsity Basketball captain "and Junior member of the Self-Government Executive Board. ---------------------------------* __________________ SENIORS CARRY OFF HONOURS IN FIRST GYM MEET FRIDAY S. Anderson, '25, Stars in Individuals With Success on Bar and Horse 1925 won first place in the gym meet on Friday, March 6, with 68.5 points. 1927 came second with 64.8, while 1926 re- ceived 51.4, and 1928, 62.4. Performing in perfect time 1925 out- stripped the other classes, who were nevertheless good. 1928 tried ver> ambi- tious exercises, which resulted in many unfortunate tumbles. 1917 worked well together. The Juniors lacked a co-ordina- tion which a week of training will un- doubtedly give. Snapping their legs, red bloomers wav- ing, the Seniors seemed especially good on the bars. Their pyramid was awarded first place with 1927's second. In the individuals, S. Anderson, '25, was the most proficient. M. Cruikshank, '27, performed on the bars with great success, while J. Seeley, '27, did a very difficult exercise. Exercises of endurance and strength were done by G. Leewitr, '26, and E. Cushman, '26. The teams were as follows: 1925�S. Anderson, E. Bradley, captain; M. Brown, K. Fowler, H. Henshaw, D. Lee, �. Mallett, M. Shumway, H. Smith. 1926� V. Cooke, E.. Cushman, E. Har- ris, F. Jay, GT*,eewitz, captain; A. Long, H. Rogers, G. Thomas, S. Walker. 1927�E.

DIFFICULTIES CONFRONTING SCULPTOR MAKE EXHIBIT SPARSE Miss King Praises George Biddle's Cocks, and the Morgan Horses * GERMANTOWN TIES VARSITY TEAM 15-15 Fouls and Flares on Both Sides Make Uncertain and Exciting Game till Last Minute BRILLIANT INDIVIDUAL PLAY Miss Georgiana Goddard King, Pro- fessor of History of Art, continued her talk on the Annual Exhibition of the Penn- sylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, last Wednesday in chapel by speaking of the sculpture. She explained the fact that there was not as much sculpture as paint- ing in this exhibit, by saying that the sculptor's task is now more difficult than it was in ancient Greece and that the con- servative character of the exhibition only helped increase the difficulty, since sculp- ture is a medium where the nude is more startling than in painting. "Past influence is more obvious in the sculpture of the exhibition than in the ^painting," said Miss King. "It is easy to identify the influence as to objects." There are reflections of archaic Greek sculpture, Sienese, German and the African Negro's. Little wood, some bronze, a good deal were used. of simulated bronze and hardly any stone were used. The latter was not due to any scarcity in marble, for the fact that the bust of President Thomas, now in New York, bdt eventually to be brought here, is of Greek marble, proves that that ma- terial is still obtainable. The abstract loveliness, removed from serene harmony, of Estelle Rumbold- Kohn's work suggests German fifteenth century sculpture and reflects the Renais- sance of current thought; while the in- fluence of Pisanello can be seen in Gene- vieve Hamlin's sculpture. The animals are portraits as well as the children, in her CONTINUED ON PACE 3 RELIGION IS LIVING FACTOR OF TO-DAY, SAYS DR.

The ball passed like lightning from one end of the gymnasi- nm to the other, with only infrequent bas- kets. This would* seem to indicate that the guards were more skilled than the forwards, but the number of points made on foul-shots proves that the forwards were not lacking in ability when an op- portunity offered. D. Killough, captain of the Germantown team, and F. Jay, '26, shot especially accurately. The tie score" came as a great surprise, for until the last few minutes Varsity lead by quite a margin, but through carelessness or over-excitement, Bryn Mawr fouled repeatedly, and D. Killough, in a last-minute dash, made three foul- shots and a basket in succession, tying the score. Perhaps some of this timely pep was instilled by the enthusiastic cheers of an individual spectator, who punctuated each play with a resounding: "Come on, Germantown!" Germantown scored first as well as last . and both times by D. Killough. Two more lone shots followed this one; then came a basket by F. Jay, '26. The other Germantown forward, M. Lukens, then added two points to their score, followed by two more foul-shots by F. Jay, '26. A beautiful long-shot basket by D. Killough then wrung applause from all. *W. Dodd, '26 shot two baskets in quick succession, adding three points to the Varsity score, for the first basket was thrown from behind her head. With another foul- shot by D. Killough, the first half ended. The score was 9-6 in favor of Varsity. Improved passing, both in speed and sureness, marked the playing of both teams in the second half. F. Jay, '26, and > W. Dodd, '26, passed beautifully to each other; and frequently back to the centres when the guards proved vtoo effective. Varsity's passing perhaps surpassed Ger- mantown's; it was short, quick and very sure. Indeed the odds seemed all on Var sity's side when F. Jay, '26, made a bril- liant basket from one corner of the gym, which she soon followed by another short- er shot. D. Killough then made a basket and K. Morris, subbing for M. Lukens, added two more points to their score. At this point both warns were exhausted, so "time out" called by D. Killough came as a'relief to all. The game ended in a blazing whirl of glory for Germantown when D. Killough tied the score and add- ed five points to their score in one fell swoop. The line-up was as follows: Germantown�D. Killough*******, M. Lukens*, M. Wiener, G. Darkman, E. Comeggs, M. Nowell. Subs: E. Morris*. Varsity�F. Jay, '26*******; W. Dodd, '26**; S. McAdoo, '26; S. Walker, '27; G. Leewitz, '26; J.

Mark Darley
Tom Kundig's take on the casual lake lifestyle was a tough concrete box that can be left out in the weather without maintenance. The pivoting window wall turns the cabin into an open-air pavilion.
The owners of this weekend retreat asked for a little cabin that opens to its natural surroundings. Tom Kundig, FAIA, took their request literally and metaphorically, designing a tough, concrete-and-steel tent in the woods and an enormous window that lifts away like a flap.
Kundig conceived the structure as three simple parts: a concrete block box, a plywood insert containing the master suite, and a 4-foot-diameter steel fireplace, a remnant from the Alaska pipeline. The concept is straightforward, but the gestures are meant to surprise. A 19-foot-tall steel entry door accommodates long skis and echoes the scale of the surrounding pines. In warm weather, the owners can open the 30-foot-by-20-foot window wall and wander freely from the living room to the beach. Centering the soaring living room is the fireplace, which acts as a structural component. "A cabin is intended to bring you out into the landscape, but it's also about the refuge from that landscape, so a fireplace becomes a very important element," Kundig says. The judges admired the cabin's clarity and poetry. "It's a very clever solution to getting light and heat into the interior, and a celebration of the present," a jury member said.

Since it's creation in 1966, Thalgo has become a worldwide-recognized brand. Thalgo treatments draw their richness and efficiency from the marine universe. Their scientific team has developed a unique know-how in harnessing the powerful riches of the sea for aesthetic use. The sea is the cradle of life on earth and constitutes an immense reservoir of substances that are only just beginning to be exploited scientifically. For instance, one alga contains a thousand times more iodine, one hundred times more calcium and ten times more magnesium and copper than a plant on the ground.

- 1/7/2015 7:37:36 PM This is fantastic scrub.I have very dry and sensetive skin.From the first use my skin looks great.It is smooth and matt.I recommend this scrub to everybody.Enjoy the great product!- 6/24/2014 9:24:35 PM I have being used Talgo products for years and love it a lot.I have dry and sesetive skin and this cream works just fine.At the first time when I used this cream my skin became soft and smooth right away.Usually I have a hard time to find the right product due to the allergy and sesitivity of my skin, but this Talgo works for me great, no allergy or side effects at all.I can recommend this to the others.Best eye cream for eyelids - 6/21/2014 4:05:17 PM It's hard to find eye creams made for eyelids, however thanks to SkinStore I finally did!!! I use this cream in the morning and at night. I put a small amount on my eyelids only. I use Lumiere Bio-restorative eye cream by Neocutis for underneath my eyes (which I love and highly recommend!!).eye makeup remover - 5/2/2014 4:16:02 AM Simple to use, this eye makeup remover effectively removes eyeshadow and waterproof mascara without pulling on the eyelids. It is non-irritating, for both the eyes and the skin. It also does not react negatively with other cleansers you might use on the skin. Both these issues are pluses for me as I have very sensitive skin.Love This Product - 1/26/2014 11:18:21 AM I was introduced to Thalgo products at a facility in Spain when I underwent Endermologie skin treatments. I LOVE this product. While it is a bit on the pricey side, IT WORKS! The only downside is, like with any type of cream, you have to use it daily in order to see results...But if you use it, it will work. Skin is smooth, the appearance of cellulite is visibly reduced, and it has a relaxing, fresh scent. Will continue to purchase!Worth every penny! - 8/23/2013 10:29:00 AM I used Atopalm cream before and this time wanted to try something new. I was glad to purchase Thalgo collagen cream, because it does what it says! Good smooth moisturizer which hides my little wrinkles! A like the texture, very light an absorbs quickly, but has a little fragrance. Which frankly speaking lasts only for 5 to 10 minutes. So i am really glad with this purchase!Effective - 8/23/2013 7:47:58 AM Very effective with immediate visible results - a small amount goes a long way -perfect if you need to smooth out for a bathing suite or shortsLove this product! - 7/7/2013 3:24:11 PM I love this product. It definitely adds moisture to the skin and I love the fragrance. The scent doesnt last once it dries but it does leave the skin with a satiny finish. Would highly recommend this product!Great for breakouts and rosacea - 1/4/2013 1:32:51 PM My skin tends to be dry and not prone to breakouts, however, I do have rosacea which causes periodic irritation and small acne-like spots, especially when stressed. When that happens, I use the Thalgo Marine Gel at night and often by the next morning, the problems are cleared up and any pimple breakouts dried up. It's a detoxing, remineralizing miracle gel. Your skin will feel tight after it dries. Since it is made form marine plants, it does have a somewhat fishy smell when you apply it so you might want to use it right before leaving on a hot date! :-)Love this! - 12/18/2012 2:34:06 PM I just love this product and I can recommended for any one who had acne in age of 30 (hormonal ). My skin is even and I had much less breakouts since I use it . Maybe is little pricey for small bottle but any way is whorth money. -

For centuries, humankind has recognized the restorative and soothing potential in the marine environment, from seawater itself to the nutrient and mineral rich marine organisms that call it home. Thalgo combines ancient wisdom with top-of-the-line cosmetic and dermatological expertise and technology to craft high-quality skincare products endowed with beneficial ocean-sourced ingredients.
The brand has been a longtime leader in thalassotherapy, the use of seawater, algae and other marine products for medicine and health.

The ingredient comes in a cutting-edge micronized form, allowing algal particles to easily absorb into the skin for premium benefit. In addition to the riches of the sea, Thalgo also blends many of its skincare products with natural botanical extracts similarly packed with essential nutrients.
The Thalgo collection includes everything from everyday skincare basics to focused therapies for the symptoms related to conditions such as eczema. Some products, such as the Thalgo Cellu-Thighs Lipo Reducing, Reshaping cream, tackle pernicious cellulite and other aging-related symptoms. The Thalgo Reviving Marine Mist, meanwhile, provides energizing reinforcement to the other components of your skincare routine.

Join author James Sulzer as he discusses his newest novel about the fictional account of famous poet Emily Dickinson. The Voice at the Door recreates the fateful meeting of Emily Dickinson with the famous Philadelphia pastor, Charles Wadsworth. The fictional account weaves the letters and poems of this iconic American writer into a rich tapestry of intellectual and spiritual communion. It encompasses the three great mysteries of Emily Dickinson's life: her agonized love poetry of the early 1860's, her partial blindness in1863 – 1865, and her subsequent withdrawal from the world.
James Sulzer is a graduate of Yale University, where he was a Yale National Scholar. He is the author of Nantucket Daybreak (Walker and Co.) and the memoir Mom Comes Home. He has produced countless "sonic id's" for National Public Radio, some of which aired on Ira Glass's This American Life. He has spent the past 40 years of his life reading, living with, and cherishing the poetry of Emily Dickinson.
Refreshments will be served.

Incentive program for tech education paying off

E-Mail This Story
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- A new state program that pays students' tuition to help them pursue a technical education is getting glowing reviews from students and leaders alike.
Under legislation passed in 2012, Kansas pays tuition for students who learn technical skills during their junior and senior years of high school. The students spend part of their school day in typical high school classes and the rest attending technical or community colleges to learn skills such as graphic design, welding or nursing assistance.
The program has been a hit early on, with the number of high school students taking such courses at the state's 26 community or technical colleges increasing from 3,870 students to 5,800 last year, which was the initiative's first. The numbers are expected to increase again this year, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported (http://bit.ly/12vKaiP ).
Last year, the state paid $12 million in tuition, which school administrators and officials at the Kansas Board of Regents and Kansas State Department of Education say is money well spent.
"It's a great initiative to help students," said Blake Flanders, vice president for workforce development at the Kansas Board of Regents, "but it also helps Kansas employers."
The program helps students learn a job skill while helping address workforce shortages in many fields, he said.
The regents worked with the Kansas Department of Labor to determine high-demand industries they hope students will consider. High school students can earn industry certificates before leaving school for many of the jobs in those industries, such as electricians, diesel engine experts, carpenters and heating mechanics.
High schools also profit, getting an extra $1,000 in state funds for each student who earns a certificate. Statewide, 711 students earned the certificate last year, with most training for the health industry.
Clark Coco, dean of Washburn Institute of Technology, said his school has doubled the size of its diesel program and more than doubled its heath care program.
Students say the choice to miss time at their own high schools to pursue technical training is worth it.
"It's a fair trade-off," said Engsean Lee, a junior at Washburn Rural High who is studying graphic design. "It's good to be able to afford college."
This year, Lee will learn to use software like Photoshop and InDesign and in his senior year, he will work directly with clients to design promotional materials and other products.

Yes, but then it would probably be the same thing as Mandy, Nergal Jr and Grim have with Minnie. Thus HIM and Blossom are the parents of Mimi but Blossom and Dexter took care of her.

quote:I grabbed a bottle last year. I don't really remember too much about it. However, i do recall being very unpleased with it. Because i kept on seeing jolly pumpkin and would wonder, why no pumpkin ales from jolly pumpkin. I tasted it, and i found out why. However, its been awhile and my beer palate has improved some, so maybe i wasn't ready for it yet, or it is just plain bad.

Suzani & Gate Print Darby Chair
Great Own Two of them.
I have two of them. It looks great in my townhouse.
November 9, 2011
So cute!!
I just love this little chair very very cute. The two different fabrics just go great. It is really sturdy and surprisingly comfortable. It is very small though, but were we needed it was the perfect size.
September 8, 2011
perfect whimsy
I was looking for an expensive looking, but not costing, reading chair for an empty corner of my living room and this was right on the mark! Beautiful contrasting detail from front to back and great colors that make it easy to pull in almost any color scheme. Plus I got it on sale! Great deal. Comfy to sit on, [...]
August 30, 2011
Great Deal
I bought two of these chairs for my small apartment living room. I had two minor set backs:
- One of the holes that came pre-drilled to attach the chair legs was slightly out of alignment so that one leg is not flush to the base by a few millimeters.
- The fabric on the back of this chair puckers a little bit in the middle.
However, the fun pattern, muted colors, and comfort of these chairs make them a good buy; especially for the price. They really are comfortable to sit in and the only assembly required is to attach the four legs. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase, especially considering the price.
September 6, 2011
very low chair
This chair looked so cute online, but once you see it in person, it is a very low chair you think you were sitting on the floor. The legs are really short. It is a comfy chair and would be better if the legs were higher

DALLAS – An online petition calling for Texas to secede from the United States is gaining support. More than 80,000 people have signed the petition since it was uploaded to the White House's website Friday by an Arlington man.
"Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world," the petition reads, "it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the Union."
The petition sparked intense reaction online and triggered a response from Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who hinted in 2009 that Texas could seek independence. On Tuesday, he backed off the idea of secession.
"People are free to do whatever people want to do," Perry said at a news conference in Austin. "We've got a great country."
Yet he also offered a warning to other states.
"California needs to be a stronger state," he continued, adding he'll be meeting soon with other Republican governors. "I never pass up an opportunity to challenge them to catch up with Texas on the job creation front and also give them fair warning: I'm going to be coming into their state and asking businesses to relocate into the State of Texas."
The president has not yet commented on the petition, and may not.
Talk of secession fuels an independence streak that has run deep in Texas since its founding as a separate country.
Secessionists like Larry Kilgore have repeatedly run for office and –– at times –– gotten hundreds of thousands of votes. Groups like the Texas Nationalist Movement have been calling for independence for years.
"I think the individual and state has more power than the federal government likes to give it credit for," said Bob Smiley, a Los Angeles-based author who wrote Don't Mess with Travis, a novel about secession.
"I would applaud Texas if it gave it a shot."
Supporters insist Texas could strike on its own; that it has enough money, natural resources and people. Yet critics say even if it was legally possible, it's not practical. The state relies on billions to pay for basics ranging from its hospitals to its roads.
As recently as 2005 Texas did indeed send Washington more in tax dollars than it has gotten back.
The state's residents got back 94 cents for every dollar sent to the federal treasury. Yet in recent years, analysts say that's now reversed. A shaky economy, surge in military spending and a spike in the state's poverty has created a surge of entitlement spending. Texas now receives more than it sends to the IRS.
"I think the attitude in a lot of the rest of the country now is let them go and don't let the door hit them on the way," said Bud Kennedy, a columnist with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He worries the talk might actually be damaging the reputation among the state's conservatives.
"This is most dangerous for the Republican party," he said. "This is not a time when Republicans need to look more extreme; that didn't work."

What happens now? Developed countries should file their emission reduction targets to the Copenhagen accord by the end of January 2010. This is voluntary and it's up to every country to sign up to the accord. Most of what we hoped to happen in Copenhagen will now have to wait for the already scheduled COP 16 in Mexico, November 2010. In the summer 2010 there will be a pre-meeting in Germany. How does the deal in Copenhagen affect Volvo Group? For the Volvo Group there's no immediate effect from the delay we get due to the lack of results in Copenhagen. We will continue to reduce our impact on the climate. There will still be a focus on fuel efficiency on our products and we'll continue to develop vehicles for renewable fuels. The environmental challenge for our own operations will be as ambitious as before when it comes to energy efficiency improvement and actions towards CO2-neutral production.
New funding for actions in developing countries might be an opportunity for Volvo Group. We can contribute in new projects with transport solutions and low carbon technique.

The ubiquitous CAN bus – a staple of automotive electronics for a long time now – runs at a snail's pace by today's standards. Automakers are already using much faster Ethernet for diagnostics and would like to use it for in-vehicle applications, but not with four pairs of wires, which would be required to achieve Gigabit Ethernet networking speeds via 1000BASE-T. Reducing the number of wire pairs – possibly from four to two – would cut the size and weight of Ethernet wiring in a vehicle.
The IEEE recently announced the formation of an 802.3™ Reduced Twisted Pair Gigabit Ethernet PHY study group. "With a tremendous expansion in the number of Ethernet nodes in automobiles forecasted, the efficiencies to be realized in reducing wire pairs to achieve Gigabit Ethernet networking speeds will be of growing importance," says Steve Carlson, president of High Speed Design, Inc. and chairperson of the study group.
"For everything that automakers want to put in cars between now and 2020, there has to be a high-performance communications backbone, and that backbone is Ethernet," Carlson says. "Electronic content in cars is going through the roof, and if nothing is done, wiring harnesses could be three times more complex and weigh three times more than they do now." Carlson and others hope that by 2020 wiring harnesses will weigh about what they weigh today despite all of the anticipated additional functionality.
"It's possible to do Gigabit Ethernet over fewer than four pairs. What we have to do is look at the different possible solutions and pick the one that is most optimum for performance and cost," Carlson says.
Persons interested in high bandwidth for future automotive networks are invited to contribute to the study group, which is scheduled to meet at the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Interim Session, May 14-18, 2012, at the Hilton Minneapolis.

iFLOOR: Your Discount Flooring Store
Welcome to iFLOOR.com, the oldest and most trusted discount flooring store on the internet. As the nation's first e-commerce flooring website, iFLOOR has made it possible for consumers to get factory direct discounts on brand name flooring.
Because we buy from the factory in large volume and our ability to warehouse large amounts of inventory, we get the lowest prices on flooring. We then pass on those discounts to our customers allowing you to pay wholesale prices for flooring. And because it's in our warehouse, we offer the fastest shipping on the internet.
When you buy from a typical flooring store, there are two links in the chain between you and the factory. First it goes to a distributor, then to a flooring retailer. That's two markups between you and your new flooring. Also, dealers pay freight to have your floors delivered to them (a cost that is always built into their prices). That means you're paying to have your floor shipped no matter where you buy it, but when you buy at iFLOOR, it's like you're buying directly from the floor distributor. Many discount flooring retailers even buy directly from us.
Buying floors on the internet is simple and most find it preferable to driving from store to store and talking to a variety of commission sales people more interested in selling you what they want rather than what you need. At iFLOOR, simply choose the products you like, order your free flooring samples, live with them for as long as you like and make the best decision for you, your home and your family. Do it in your time, your space, and without a hovering salesperson. Purchasing new flooring has never been easier.
If you do need assistance, call one of our flooring experts at 1-800-454-3941 and get to know us a little better. Check our testimonials page to see what they're saying.
Solid Hardwood Flooring
Solid hardwood flooring never goes out of style and has vastly improved with technology. Solid wood floors are meant to be installed over a wood subfloor and are virtually a perfect fit for any type of home or office décor. Natural oak flooring has long been one of the most popular flooring choices and remains one of the world's top selling floors, but new technology has allowed for bolder wood fashions that offer more design flexibility. Solid hard wood flooring is now available in a wide variety of stains and colors, hand scraped wood finishes and a variety of other visual effects that have given consumers more options than ever before. iFLOOR only sells wood flooring that's been harvested responsibly from well-managed forests to ensure a timeless supply for future generations. And because we're the factory direct flooring store, iFLOOR gives the biggest discounts on solid hardwood floors.Engineered Hardwood Flooring
For a number of reasons, engineered hardwood flooring is the perfect option for many homeowners and businesses. First, engineered hardwood uses less of the premium hardwood making it more eco-friendly than most solid hard wood. Secondly, engineered hard wood flooring can be used in a floating floor installation over concrete, but can also be used in a glue down floor installation. The installation flexibility of these floors also adds an element of dimensional stability that makes engineered wood floors a perfect choice for heavily trafficked areas, or just about anywhere in your home or office. If you've been looking for the best price on engineered hard wood floors, you're now only one click away from finding them.
Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring practically took over the flooring scene in the nineties and quickly became the alternative consumers were searching for. Laminate flooring allowed consumers the option of having a wood floor without the maintenance usually associated with hardwood flooring (but even that's now changed, as wood floors are easier to maintain than ever). And because laminate floors are "floating floors" (not attached to the subfloor), laminate flooring could also be installed in some places hardwood couldn't. Today, laminate flooring is also known as "click laminate flooring" and is installed by simply snapping two planks together, requiring no glue whatsoever. In fact, laminate was the first to offer a click locking system. Laminates literally changed the way we thought about flooring, and since they've become one of the most popular types of flooring in the world. We also happen to sell more of it than just about anyone, and that's why you'll get the best price on laminate flooring when you buy at iFLOOR.
Regular Bamboo Flooring
In recent years, the popularity of solid bamboo floors has literally exploded. Today, you'll find more bamboo flooring and engineered bamboo flooring in homes and offices around the globe than ever before. It's because bamboo offers today's consumer contemporary styling, functionality and value in one eco-friendly package, as bamboo floors are one of the most green floor options in the world. Many you'll find in iFLOOR's enormous selection are FSC certified, meaning that they are certified to be sold as a green flooring product. Today you'll find a vast array of these floors in a variety of styles such as solid natural bamboo, stained bamboo, hand scraped bamboo and engineered bamboo. And when you purchase yours at iFLOOR, you can rest assured you received the lowest price on bamboo flooring.
Strand Bamboo Flooring
With the popularity of solid bamboo floors it was only a matter of time until the next generation of bamboo flooring was developed and the result is known as stranded bamboo floors. The bamboo material is first shredded and then under extraordinarily high pressure fused together creating a floor that rivals even the hardest of hardwood floors. Strand bamboo offers a unique aesthetic combined with a toughness that can be used even in commercial settings. The new addition of innovative engineering methods, hand scraping strand bamboo floors and staining strand bamboo have created more options than ever.
Cork Flooring
Cork flooring is one of the most environmentally friendly floors in the world. Cork trees are grown for centuries and only the bark is harvested every 8-10 years which is used to make cork stoppers for wine. The by-product from the cork stoppers is then recycled and made into world class cork flooring. This comfortable, eco-friendly flooring is now tougher and more affordable than ever making it a perfect choice for active homes. The newest cork floors now offer beveled edge planks which offer a totally new look in cork floors.
Vinyl Flooring
Today's vinyl flooring has come a very long way and is nothing like what you remember from your grandmother's kitchen. In fact, many of today's vinyl floors are glue-less (no glue vinyl) and designed to be loose-laid over just about any subfloor. The newer vinyl floors now come in planks (rather than sheets) and some even simulate the look of real hardwood. The more advanced vinyl floors you'll find here snap together with an easy, click locking system, making installation a simple process for even the most inexperienced novice. The vinyl flooring of today offers excellent durability, is very easy to install, maintain, and when you purchase it at iFLOOR, you'll get the best price on vinyl flooring planks, every day of the week.

Biofeedback is a technique that measures bodily functions and gives you information about them in order to help train you to control them.
Biofeedback is most often based on measurements of:
By watching these measurements, you can learn how to change these functions by relaxing or by holding pleasant images in your mind.
Patches, called electrodes, are placed on different parts of your body. They measure your heart rate, blood pressure, or other function. A monitor displays the results. A tone or other sound may be used to let you know when you have reached a goal or certain state.
Your health care provider will describe a situation and guide you through relaxation techniques. The monitor lets you see how your heart rate and blood pressure change in response to being stressed or remaining relaxed.
Biofeedback teaches you how to control and change these bodily functions. By doing so, you feel more relaxed or more able to cause specific muscle relaxation processes. This may help treat such conditions as:

Idiopathic short stature; Non-growth hormone deficient short stature
Your health care provider checks how your child is growing at your child's regular check ups.
Your child's health care provider:
There are many reasons that your child has short stature.
Most of the time there is no medical cause for short stature. Here is what may be going on.
Sometimes short stature may be a symptom of a medical conditions such as:
This list does not include every possible cause of short stature.
If your child appears to be much shorter than most children his or her age or if they seem to have stopped growing, call your health care provider.
The health care provider will perform a physical examination. They will measure your child's height, weight, and arm and leg lengths.
To figure out possible causes for your child's short stature, the health care provider will ask about your child's history. They will ask:
If your child's short stature seems related to a medical condition, your child will need some lab tests and x-rays.
Your child may have other tests done as well. Some of these tests may be:
Your health care provider keeps records of your child's height and weight. Keep your own records as well. Bring these records to your health care provider's attention if the growth seems slow or your child seems small.
Your child's short stature may affect their self-esteem.
If your child has no or low levels of growth hormone, your health care provider will talk about treatment with growth hormone injections. See: Growth hormone deficiency
Growth hormone injections are also used to treat children with Turner syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome , chronic kidney failure, or idiopathic short stature (ISS).
Most children who have normal growth hormone levels will not need growth hormone injections. Your health care provider may talk about growth hormone injections when:
If your child is a boy with short stature and delayed puberty, your health care provider may talk about using testosterone injections to jump start growth.

Festool TS55EQ Plunge Saw with T-Loc Systainer
Choice of Guide-Rail Size
The Festool TS55REQ is so precise you can compare its cuts to the cuts you would get off a high-end table saw but still have the portability to take to your next remodeling job. With a new splinter guard, you can be sure of splinter-free cuts on both sides of the blade. A redesigned spring-loaded riving knife lets you easily position the tool in an existing cut line. A simple detent override increases the bevel cut from −1º to 47º, with positive stops at 0º and 45º. You also have an integrated micro-adjust depth control and easy-to-read dual depth scale (yes Imperial as well as Metric).
The TS55REQ offers great features. The Thumb Interlock makes it easier to switch on the power and pivot the blade down for cutting while the blade lock disconnects the power switch and locks the blade down in position for removal.
When used with the Festool Guide rail system the saws is ideal for installation of laminate flooring systems and allow cutting just 3/8" off a wall. The guide rail allows for fast, precise cuts with little or no setup time since the edge guide automatically aligns to the cut line. Electronic variable-speed control automatically maintains a constant blade speed under load, and the soft start and automatic idle cut down on operator fatigue and noise.
The TS55REQ includes:
- a 48-tooth blade (495377)
- guide rail
- splinter guard
- limit stop
- Plug-It cord
- SYS-4 T-Loc Systainer.

The Taste of Brazil - Paula Novotna
Over 160 riders from more than 40 countries gathered to battle for the men's and women's titles in five days of competition at the International Kiteboard Association course racing world championships being staged in China for the first time. The North International Team travelled from all parts of the world for this, the final showdown of the year & battle for the title, joined also by team manager - Dirk Hanel.
From day 1 the conditions were perfect as winds of more than 20 knots blew steadily over Boao's King Bay, Hainan. The fleets were split and a total of 4 races per day were sailed in each fleet. This qualifying series took 2 days and determines a Gold/Silver/bronze fleet. The womans fleet was one opening series until the final day when they also have the medal race format. Consistency and keeping out of trouble was the key to success with only 1 discard in the whole regatta. Conditions were similar for these 2 days with all North Kiteboarding riders choosing their 9mtr or 11mtr 2013 Dyno kites and a rolling swell at the windward mark which was placed on the reef to liven things up a bit! These 2 days was about keeping things clean and for young Olly Bridge - mens European Champion at age 16, this allowed many older riders to have their say in the protest room. Maxime Nocher (FRA) took a big fin cut on his heel which meant a trip to hospital for stitches, however this only later enhanced his performance!!
Day 3 & 4 of gold fleet racing was a mix of stronger & lighter winds which saw some upsets up and down the rankings. A close battle between Johnny Heineken and Florian Gruber (GER) saw Johnny defeated when the wind dropped giving Florian a lead going into the medal races. The biggest stir was from 16 year old Olly Bridge (GBR) who came into the gold fleet racing in 11th position but scored some top 5 results on day 3 & 4 to climb up to 3rd going into the medal race day. Also stepping up his game, Maxime scored bullets in the final 2 gold fleet races, taking his ranking up to 4th. Olly, Maxime & Blazej were just a couple of points behind the Reigning World Champion, Johnny Heineken and although would take a miracle to get to 1st, all knew that with the lighter winds predicted for the medal races, they would have a good advantage over Johnny.
A great spirit amongst the team with 3 out of the top 5 riders all competing for North Kiteboarding and riding the NKB 69 Race Ltd and the North Dyno 2013 kites. Riding for Denmark, James Johnson showed some real moments of glory having qualified for Gold fleet and ended 30th overall.
The womans fleet saw tighter racing with many switched positions between the young Russian- Eleanor Kalinina, Steph Bridge (GBR) and Erika Heineken (USA). The lighter winds suiting Steph & Eleanor, however this was not enough to defeat the lead that Erika had built over the first 2 days of the championship. North Kiteboarding womans rider from France, Ariane Imbert took a big step up in performance scoring all top 10 results and placing her in 9th position going into the final day.
The final day of the event in Boao, Hainan being organised and locally managed by Kite tour Asia (KTA) and the resort development of King Bay, saw winds up to 8 knots and many switches in direction. This proved difficult to set a course and allow fair racing to take place for the final medal race series. With a cut off time of 4pm, many riders thought the chance to go on the water was very slim, however by 2.30pm enough wind had filled in to start the 1st Mens Medal Race. Taking their 17mtr North Kiteboarding Dyno kites, long lines, biggest fins it was a battle to keep the kites in the air, however it was Maxime Nocher (FRA) who showed the field that this was his day & won the only medal race this day. This was enough to secure his lead over Olly Bridge (GBR) who got knocked down to 4th place in the overall rankings. The medal race for the womans fleet went into sequence however soon got abandoned when the wind dropped below 5 knots.
The closing ceremony was held in King Bay with fireworks, live music and in true chinease fashion, the ceremony was top quality with every detail impeccable. A superb week for North Kiteboarding with such a strong positive presence in the top 5 and all 3 of the mens top 5 team under 21years old.
Many of the NKB riders now travel to Sail Melbourne followed by the Oceanics in Perth. Both are big events with great organisation, prize money and points for the isaf world ranking. Well done and good luck to all the North Kiteboarding team members!!

EVO 2014, an insight view with Ralf Grösel
Ralf, to start simple, what´s new about the 2014 EVO?
Ralf Grösel: A lot!! The Evo 2014 is not based on the 2013 model but a completely new design coming out of two different prototype directions. This Evo is a kite I´ve been developing for the last two years, this means the first prototypes have already been built parallel to the Evo 2013. Which was kind of strange but necessary to come from a new approach.
What was the challenge about it and why did the development take so long?
Ralf Grösel: Since the introduction to the market in 2008 the Evo was very Delta-oriented. This concept direction offers a lot of positive aspects, but also a lot of limiting factors. Over the years I really pushed the kites' overall performance to the absolute limit in-between the concept, until I really came to the point where I just could not improve the Delta-shape anymore in 2013. I already saw that coming in 2012 and therefore needed the time to work in time on the new concept and be ready after these two years for a new direction.
What do we have in our hands now?
Ralf Grösel: At the end of the day, a completely new kite, which offers some of the typical Evo genes, but also is a completely different construction and direction. The Evo is trimmed to maximum performance combined with perfect handling. Developed to fit perfectly to a 4 line bar, I found a perfect match for the geometry combining stability with flexibility of the whole kite construction. Not to mention several prototypes…
Sounds a bit like a conflict…
Ralf Grösel: On the first view, yes. But I can explain it easily:
The higher aspect ratio and the flatter radius, which are even similar to a Rebel, have been optimized on the other hand to a very very stiff and compact system through several small changes. A lot of flexibility in the tip area to achieve that great handling, stiffness in the profile for bomb proof stability. But it is indeed tricky to combine these two characteristics, which pull in opposite directions!
Any other changes?
Ralf Grösel: Several, just to mention the changed panel layout, remarkable thinner struts to reduce weight, a different tip geometry and a new bridle system with to rolls at both sides to depower efficiently.
Where in the North Kiteboarding Range is the Evo seen in your view?
Ralf Grösel: The Evo is and will stay the all-round talent inbetween the North Kiteboarding range. But, the Evo made a huge step forward regarding the overall performance. Steady is the extremely easy water relaunch and the brilliant stability.
What does that mean in detail for the pilot?
Ralf Grösel: The general speed of the kite in the wind window has increased, the upwind ability is just insane and the depower is now massive. Jumping is super easy, anybody can boost highest jumps with smooth landings with this kite. Compared to last years models flight time and height has increased a lot.
NKB: Where is the Evo´s position next to the completely new Dice?
Ralf Grösel: The Dice is nothing more or less then the jackpot. We never had a kite which started this fast and with so many good feedback from team riders and customers at the same time, never sold several thousand pieces of one kite model in the first year.
Still, the Evo is a different concept with 5 struts and all the benefits which come with it and the potential to surprise, especially Evo lovers! The Dice is a specialist´s kite for advanced freestyle/wakestyle and advanced wave riding. The Evo´s jumping ability for classic moves and classic riding are just easier and more stable. As mentioned, the Evo jumps high, wide and long!
Test one, you´ll be surprised!!
Thank you Ralf for this inside you of your perspective!

In Beijing, wide avenues are filled with thousands of people, bikes and cars. What was the world capital of sports in 2008, when it hosted the Olympic Games, now has more than ten million habitants. It is this city that "owns" the Great Wall of China: the only monument visible from space.
Beijing now has over ten million habitants and its millennial history is one of the most famous postcards for the city. In Mandarin, Beijing means Capital of the North, precisely the location it has in the Chinese territory. Mythical places like the Forbidden City, emperors' palaces from the 15th century and the Great Wall of China, considered as one of the Seven Wonders (sole construction visible from outer space), turn this city into a place filled with mysteries you will want to find out. In 2008, it hosted the Olympic Games, an event which revolutionised the city, by opening its doors to tourism. Streets signs are now in English, as well as local language and residents have become used to the presence of visitors. Hutongs, old neighbourhoods in town, saw the development of large constructions and, in the wide avenues, the enormous flow of bikes had to give priority to car traffic. Still, traces from the past remain and peddlers continue to walk along the streets as if everything was still in the same place. Located between the mountain range of Taihang and Yanshan, Beijing was a warm and rainy climate in the summer and cold and dry in the winter.

Sometimes that's true. Sometimes you can make a one-sided argument and still be completely correct. Do you think everyone who's ever made a good bow has always made one with a partner?
I think what BR was saying here is that in an argument with another person the goal is to make them understand, and if possible agree with, your point of view and conclusions. But in order to do that you have to take them along on the ride of your thought-train, show them how and why you arrived at the destination that you did. Otherwise your argument will not be convincing. In that regard, it is purely a two-person game. Unless you're just making arguments for the sake of arguing, and don't expect to convince anyone other than yourself.

Dysarthria is a condition that occurs when there are problems with the muscles that help you talk. Most times, dysarthria occurs:
Simple changes in the way you talk with a person who has dysarthria can make a difference.
The person who has dysarthria and their family may need to learn different ways of communicating, such as:
If you do not understand the person, do not just agree with them. Ask them to speak again. Tell them what you think they said and ask them to repeat it. Ask the person to say it in a different way. Ask them to slow down so that you can make out their words.
Listen carefully and allow the person to finish. Be patient. Make eye contact with them before speaking. Give positive feedback for their effort.
Ask questions in a way that they can answer you with yes or no.
