The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta issued a warning early this month after 347 people in 37 states and the District of Columbia contracted salmonella since last year.
Seventy percent of those infected were 10 years of age or younger.
CDC officials have traced the disease back to small turtles.
Melissa Atkins, epidemiologist for the Northwest Georgia Health District based in Rome, cautioned parents.
"Small turtles are not the best pets for young children," Atkins said. "It's illegal for pet stores to sell pet turtles smaller than a certain size."
The Food and Drug Administration banned the sale of small turtles as pets in 1975. However, many people get their turtles from street vendors, according to the CDC, which warned that turtles with a shell length of less than four inches should not be purchased or given as pets.
People infected with salmonella develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps 12- to 72-hours after they are infected. The disease lasts about four to seven days and most people recover with treatment.
However, severe infections may occur in infants, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
Anyone who is infected with a severe case of the disease should be treated with antibiotics promptly.

Just days before the start of the 2012 season, Dodge has been named
the Official Vehicle of the NASCAR CANADIAN TIRE SERIES for the
sixth year in a row.
"Dodge and Mopar are a major force behind one of the
fastest-growing spectator sports in Canada, which is NASCAR stock
car racing," said Ed Broadbear, Vice President of Marketing,
Chrysler Canada. "The sponsorship helps us connect with motorsports
fans across the country, who are just as passionate about their
rides off the track as they are about watching the racing teams on
the track. It's a perfect fit!"
The 12-race NASCAR CANADIAN TIRE SERIES is Canada's only
national racing series and runs across the country from May to
"NASCAR Canada is thrilled that Dodge has extended its
partnership with the NASCAR CANADIAN TIRE SERIES as the official
vehicle of Canada's national stock car racing circuit,"
said Randy Paul, Managing Director, NASCAR Canada. "Dodge is
a well-respected and valued partner of Canadian motorsports and
their support of grassroots racing is essential to the growth of
the NASCAR CANADIAN TIRE SERIES and NASCAR's fan base in
Canada. Dodge's performance on the race track is
Last season, Dodge drivers excelled on the Canadian series and
earned eight of the top-10 positions in year-end points and won all
12 races, which featured five road courses and seven oval events.
Dodge's winning streak stands at 16 heading into the 2012
season as Canadian Scott Steckly led the Dodge brigade during the
12-race series, winning three races and three poles during the 2011
The 2012 NASCAR CANADIAN TIRE SERIES kicks off this Sunday, May 20,
at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, ON, marking
the first time that the series has started on a road course. Dodge
driver D.J. Kennington from St. Thomas, ON, won on this course last
year and looks to defend his title.

Oregon and Stanford. That's a good thing. I'd rather watch the Utes lose to quality opponents than run the table over a bunch of cupcakes every year.
Yes, we've struggled in the PAC12, but I don't see any reason to assume that those struggles are going to continue forever. For a true freshman, thrown into the fire, I thought Travis Wilson fared as well as can be expected. He has all the heart that Wynn didn't, plus skills. He will improve. Brian Johnson will mature and settle in. Whit will recruit to shore up the weaknesses in the offense, and to maintain a strong defense. I think every Ute fan wanted to believe that we would be an instant contender, but reality is a cruel master. That being said, there is a lot of reason for optimism.
The only "sure" win Utah has on their schedule next year is Weber State. They'll most likely beat BYU and they get Utah State at home but neither game is a lock (especially the Utah State game). The conference schedule is going to be brutal. I believe Stanford is in SLC and Oregon is on the road.
I think next season is a BIG year for Whittingham and the Utah program. A poor showing next year and all hell could break loose.
It might, but it shouldn't. Whit really is a good coach, and usually does well using the whole underdog thing. Wilson looks like he should be decent. I don't know what type of players you will have to replace Star and any other players that are gone, but Utah generally has pretty good players and athletes.
BYU should be better offensively and worse defensively. Like you said, could be a toss up game. If so, I give the edge to the Utes, they seem to win the close ones most of the time.
Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
There are two more Krugers. One from Lone Peak and one at PG I think. Sent them both packing in the playoffs this year.
BYU 1984 National Champs.
Interested to see what's going to go on with BYU's coaching staff after the season. I heard Holmoe made some comments about a month ago in which he hinted at some chemistry issues with the staff that could be dealt with in the offseason. Could Doman be headed out the door?

Sundance Institute Documentary Fund grants are announced twice a year. Since its inception, the Fund has supported more than 500 films in 61 countries. A committee of human rights experts and film professionals make recommendations from projects submitted by filmmakers from around the world. The Fund reviews between 1,400 and 2,000 proposals annually, choosing 35-50 for support each year. In funding such work, the Documentary Fund encourages the diverse exchange of ideas that is crucial to fostering an open society, raising public consciousness about human rights abuses and restrictions of civil liberties, and fostering an ongoing dialogue about these and other pressing social issues.
You can apply online by July 10, 2012.
The Documentary Fund provides grants to filmmakers worldwide for projects that display:
- Artful and innovative storytelling technique
- Global relevance
- Contemporary human rights and pressing social justice issues
- Potential for social engagement
Applications are accepted in two funding categories:
- Research/Development funding is provided to projects that are between development and preproduction. Grant amounts for this category are up to $20,000. There is no reel required with an application, but clips, teasers, trailers, or images are highly encouraged. A previous work sample is required.
- Production/Post-production grants provide funds up to $50,000 to filmmakers in various stages of the production and post-production process. Applications are required to include continuously edited material that is approximately 20 to 75 minutes for the project being proposed. The reel should convey the narrative and aesthetic visual for the final film. If available for consideration, longer cuts and fine cuts may be submitted. A previous sample work must also be included with the application.
If you have already received a grant from the Documentary Fund, there is an additional category for which you can apply for the same project. Audience Engagement grants support innovative outreach and engagement campaigns and cutting-edge multiplatform engagement strategies.
The Sundance Institute Documentary Fund application is now open for the fall 2012 cycle. Please apply online by July 10, 2012. Supporting DVD materials should be postmarked by July 10th, 2012 and mailed to our Los Angeles office address. Applications are being accepted in the development, production/post-production and audience engagement categories.

The population - its size, age structure, spatial distribution and probable development - plays a role in numerous themes examined by the Federal Planning Bureau. Those themes may relate to the young (child benefit, school population, educational staff), the working-age population (employment, unemployment, economic activity, tax receipts, social contributions and social expenditure, commuting) and the elderly (health care expenditure and pensions). More generally, the population can have an impact on consumption, housing and energy needs.
Demography is a key parameter for studying the impact of ageing, an issue that has become a growing concern for policymakers in Belgium and other European countries.
Population ageing, or the growing ratio of elderly people in the population, is e.g. the result of both a decreasing fertility rate and the sustained prolongation of life expectancy. This evolution takes its toll on the public budget. The changes in the demographic structure lead to a decrease in the working-age population likely to pay social contributions and taxes on the one hand, and boost the number of elderly people who receive public pensions and a larger amount of health care on the other hand (See theme 'Social protection and ageing').
The essential parameters determining population should therefore be studied carefully: fertility, probability of death, decision to migrate within the country, to emigrate or to immigrate.
For a long time, the FPB has been following the work of Belgian and foreign demographers and other scientists on issues that may affect demographic evolution. It ensures that it builds up a reliable database. It pays special attention to the elaboration of the demographic projections that it makes in collaboration with Statistics Belgium and a group of experts (demographers, geographers, sociologists, economists, health experts and various public users of those projections). It attends meetings and takes part in the activities of international organisations on this subject (demographic projections developed by Eurostat, the Working Group on Ageing of the European Commission, the UN Commission on Population and Development, UN Summits on Ageing and their follow-up).

When I first started programming back in the late 1970′s, there were not a lot of examples of existing programs. Sure, most BASIC manuals had some simple programs, in fact, the TRS-80 shipped with an excellent manual written by David Lien, however a serious developer quickly ran through those simple programs. David Ahl's books that featured computer games written in BASIC, and new magazine such as Byte quickly filled the void.
By the time modems and BBS's first came about in the early 80′s, programmers started to share source code, and make it available for use. In many ways, this was the origin of open source software. Developers freely made available pieces of code that they had developed.
The Programmer's Corner was a repository for many of these collections. It became one of the most popular sources for software developers looking for just that right piece of code that could help them finish their project. In addition, the message boards were visited by some of the best programmers at the time, always willing to help out with a particularly difficult problem. In a pre-Google world, this was pretty heady stuff. Having individuals like Bill Parke uploading super useful DOS utilities that also included the source code opened up a new world for those who had been forced to buy prepackaged commercial programs, or go without. To see some examples of early ASM code, visit here.

Palo Alto set to swear in new mayor, vice mayor Greg Scharff to take over top leadership position on City Council

Posted by dott31, a resident of the Fairmeadow neighborhood, on Jan 7, 2013 at 12:11 pm
I have always wondered why Greg Schmidt was not urged to serve as vice-mayor and then as mayor in the natural order of his service. Three much younger--in terms os age and experience--leapfrogged over him. Does anyone know why or how?
Posted by Gooie Gander, a member of the Jordan Middle School community, on Jan 7, 2013 at 3:28 pm
Is there anywhere else in this land where the mayor change annually? Seems pointless and wasteful, as well as ineffectual in general.
Posted by Carlito Waysman, a resident of the Old Palo Alto neighborhood, on Jan 7, 2013 at 10:07 pm
Somebody answer me please. Why we the citizens of Palo Alto don't elect our Mayors like other cities do?
Posted by Daniel Mart, a resident of Mountain View, on Jan 8, 2013 at 12:09 pmDaniel Mart is a member (registered user) of Palo Alto Online
Seems extremely idiotic.
City Hall is in their own world. Ignoring us, and taking turns electing each other for mayor.
Posted by Not an issue, a resident of the Community Center neighborhood, on Jan 8, 2013 at 4:37 pm
Daniel-- who is this "us" you talk about? PA needs to focus on its residents first. Direct your complaints to the MV council.

Devanāgarī is written from left to right and doesn't discern between uppercase and lowercase. In classic sanskrit, no linebreak after words existed so that an unbroken upper bar was the result. If a break existed it indicated breath groups. Today, word breaks are used though.
Devanāgarī is an alphabet of the abugida kind which means that each consonant has an inherent vowel (a) that\'s only changed when the consonant is modified with the different vowel signs. When the consonants are to be joined directly the vowels can be suppressed. The written form is then a ligature where the attached consonants loose their top bar and get attached directly to the main consonant. Devanagari has 34 consonants (vyanjana), and 12 vowels (svara). A syllable (akshara) is formed by the combination of zero or one consonants and one vowel. |
Devanāgarī derives from the Gupta script which ultimately derives from the Brāhmī script that has been known since the 3rd century BC. Around 800 AD, the Nāgarī script evoved out of avariant of the Gupta script and around 1200, Devanāgarī evolved out of a similar variant of Gupta. |
The name Devanāgarī derives from the Sanskrit words »Deva« (divine) and »Nāgarī« (urban), forming a compound saying »divine, urban script« and ultimately meaning »excellent or perfected form of the Nāgarī script«. |
Languages Devanāgarī is used to write several South Asian languages, including Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi, Kashmiri, Sindhi, Bihari, Bhili, Konkani, Bhojpuri, Maithili, Pali, Nepal Bhasa and Nepali.
ITRANS (»Indian languages TRANSliteration«) is a lossless ASCII transliteration scheme for Indic scripts, particularly for Devanāgarī (and used for the Sanskrit, Hindi, Nepali, Marathi and other languages). In ITRANS, the word Devanagari is written as »devanaagarii«. It was developed by Avinash Chopde.
The speciality about devanāgarī script is that it is spoken as it is written. This makes it suitable of text to speech conversion and vice-versa.
Kiran fonts are true type fonts that are still in use to write Devanagari script based on ASCII character set. It uses clever phonetic usage of English keyboard and entire devanagari script with combination characters can be correctly expressed. It is developed by Kiran Bhave. Main advantage of this font is that it does not restrict you in typing any combination, so you can express the writing the way the composer wants it giving many alternative options to write the same character combinations. It is FREE for any users and available at Ref: http://www.kiranfont.com |

This group does not have any discussions yet.
Update - Just got off the phone with the principal of West Hempstead High School. He's going to compile a list of families for us. I am going to see if we can combine our efforts in doing some kind of event. No date has been discussed at this point. Still much to do
Joanne and Mark, thanks for the support.
Sounds great Scott & Kelly! All in!
I'm in Scott as long as the date is available for me.
Kelly and I have contacted a friend who works in the West Hempstead school district. Our friend had mentioned how badly her Island Park kids were hit by Sandy and that some of them to this day are still not back in their houses. A lot of her students were not well off to being with.
We asked her to pass along the information of what we as a HP community do for those in need and that we would like to do this for them. This is still in the early stages and just wanted to keep everyone informed that another HP event may be coming up soon. There is no date or location yet, as we are waiting to hear back about their interest.
Had all the pictures printed to 8x10. I will be delivering them to St. Patrick's today. Really nice working with all of you. Thanks again for a great event!
Kelly and I had a great time with Joanne, Marc, Saul. HP is always a great experience. Thanks for posting the photos this year Marc. Photos came out great.
It was really awesome working with Scott, Kelly, Saul and Joanne last night. We all know what we saw and what we shot and I loved it. You guys were all great last night!
Here is the link for anyone interested in viewing the photos we all took last night.

Merry Christmas and God Bless!
Joanne, It was great meeting you all. I really enjoyed myself and look forward to doing it again next year. helping to do something for those families really made me feel good. Take care all and God bless!

Rapunzel awoke with the morning sun and she was off from there. She quick jumped out of bed and got dressed. She left her small modest bed room and headed down the old wooden stairs. She looked upon her Clock Tower once more in beautiful morning light. The floor was completely open with shadows of the hands of clocks everywhere. There was a small hole in the wooden floor which led to the under workings of the tower, the real beauty. Rapunzel closed her eyes just to make sure she was on time. "50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60, 7:34" She told herself and looked to the clock tower to see the hand had shifted to 7:34 right to time with her. She smiled and jumped with glee. " perfectly on time as always Rapunzel good job" She applauded herself. Rapunzel ran over to the stairs and zoomed down the first shaft jumping then onto a metal railing that stretched to the other side of the Tower. She scurried along this metal pipe until she jumped grabbing onto another shaft and sent herself flying of that to the second floor of usable space.
You see the Tower is not exactly a set structure. It has small pockets of wooden flooring here and there, but for the most part it was bars and gears and rectangles shafts. Now there were stairs to almost every "floor", but Rapunzel never liked to make use of them. She thought that maybe when she was old and couldn't get around as easy she might use the stairs. For now though the Clock Tower was her playground.
Rapunzel went about her chores for that day. She started with the sweeping and cleared all of the floors with as much dust as possible. Then she went on to the mopping and scrubbed each floor till she saw no more point to scrubbing at all because it was just so clean. Lastly she went to her favorite chore, the polishing. She had to do the polishing in a timely manner and it really honed in on all of her reflex skills. She had to check each and every gear for rust or grime and clean it up mighty quick before the gear got all the way around. The big gears were easy, it was the small gears that were the real toughies. Though day in and day out she finished. After all her chores it was around three o'clock and it was time for her lesson. Master Owen would teach her about the clock and the city below us. Mostly he would teach her more about how mechonizems worked and protocols and what to do if this or that happened. Rapunzel found it interesting, but also rather mundane.
Lastly After dinner Rapunzel was finally free until the next morning. Rapunzel's latest obsession had been people watching as she liked to call it. She stared down into the city and made up stories for everyone she saw. There was a girl who always came by the fish market at exactly two o'clock and Rapunzel liked to pretend that it was because she was really a horrible monster and if she didn't eat cooked fish at exactly Two o'clock she would rein terror on all the citizens. The idea simply made Rapunzel laugh which was one of Rapunzel's favorite things.

James P. Stevenson, MD
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I was diagnosed with stage II colon cancer in September 2000 at age 39. 21 lymph nodes were removed, all negative. No apparent spread. Angiolymphatic invasion present; B2 tumor. Bowel resection surgery performed. I am just completing 6 rounds of 5FU & Leucovorin. Is there any other treatment available for patients at my stage? My concern is that 5FU is an old drug and I've learned that it really doesn't offer much in adding to the percentage of survival. Also, what follow-up care would you recommend?
James P. Stevenson, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Hematology/Oncology Division of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Although we cannot comment on your specific case, the current recommendations are that patients receive 5-FU and leucovorin for this stage of colon cancer. We know that people with Stage B2 colon cancer have a 75-80% chance of being cured with surgery alone. There is some controversy whether 5-FU chemotherapy benefits B2 patients, but some oncologists believe it does, and in younger patients it is reasonable to be aggressive in the overall treatment.
In terms of follow-up, a reasonable recommendation might be follow-up visits with an oncologist or surgeon every 3 months for 2-3 years, with blood work (including a serum CEA level) performed at each visit, then annually. Many oncologists may also perform an annual chest x-ray, but there is some controversy regarding this. A colonoscopy may be performed one-year after the surgery, and then annually or every 3 years depending on the findings of the post-operative exam.
Ms. Nibauer-Cohen talks about how yoga can help people with cancer cope with the stresses of the diagnosis. Read more.

Found this by searching, examples of program loops, where the top result, though probably very old, is exactly what I wanted: Loop Examples.
Notice right off the top the two main categories: Count controlled, and Event controlled. The language is not PHP, but a close look will reveal the salient information on how each type of loop within these categories works, and how it is controlled.
In old BASIC speak, the simplest loop was, 10 GOTO 10. This one is the best example of an uncontrolled loop. A common use of this line was a listening post. Event listeners would trap events on the screen, the keyboard or the mouse and execute their toolbox code, but in the meantime, the program would just hang out at line 10, to which it would return after every event is handled.
More elaborate examples can be drummed up, like a non-terminating slide show, or a repeating sequence of sampled music. Uncontrolled loops are also called 'infinite' in that they have no predefined end. They stop when the program stops. We definitely don't want any of these in a our PHP scripts or the page will never load, and the hosting provider will get mighty upset if it crashes their server.
This is where controlled loops come in. We set strict limits, sometimes referred to as lower and upper bounds, when counting, or structure our data so that an end of file event occurs (such as above in the FOREACH() that PHP provides us) and forces an exit from the loop. We can also set exit conditions within a loop, which lets us minimize the clock ticks consumed by the server while executing it. We do that above, as well. Remember Z and F?
Just so we're clear, there is no one loop that is best for all purposes. With time and practice and experimentation/invention you will set upon a choice of loop method best suited to the task at hand and the type of data being crunched.
A simple counting loop (without employing actual loop functions within the given language) is, again in BASIC speak,
Here is a simple PHP counting loop
$a = 0;
$b = 100;
do { $a++; } while ( $a < $b );
echo $a . ", " . $b;
One loop function built into most languages that keep all the controls in one place is the FOR() loop. In BASIC, this used to be a FOR TO STEP NEXT loop but languages evolved that led to C which led to PHP, which give us a more elegant, FOR(). Here is one that loops through what we have above:
for ( $i = 0, $n = 100; $i < $n; $i++) { // do something }
We can already see a difference in these two loops. In the former, the increment was the action within the loop, whereas in the latter, the increment is handled by the control expressions defined by the for() arguments, leaving the 'workspace' completely free of control variables, save a possible event trap that causes an exit. The code within the workspace will execute once for every increment of the control variable, just as above and will terminate when it reaches the upper bound.
When working with one dimension arrays in PHP, the for() loop works great. It cannot equal the power of the foreach() loop when it comes to more sophisticated array structures (keyed indexes and arrays within array cells), though. While examining this language function, it will be good to immerse oneself in ASSOCIATIVE ARRAYS. They can be very confusing at first, and a clear understanding is necessary in order to properly understand and implement these loops with success. If you are familiar with JavaScript basic objects--Property : Value, then you will catch on quickly to, $key => $value.
It gets hairy when $value is an array, also. But as a single dimension, this one can be parsed using for() or foreach() again, either one nested in the main foreach(). But now I'm getting ahead of things. You will not find the code in our example above very difficult to grasp once you envision the workings of the two main loops. The only other abstracts in the code are the REGEX used in the PREG_REPACE() function, and the construction of our letter array with PREG_SPLIT(). Both of these functions require thorough reading, which you will benefit from immensely.
The string functions are pretty self explanatory, but they deserve a good reading up on, too. They are an important part of the engine, after all. Just as a fuel filter removes unwanted particles from gasoline before it reaches the injection system, our filter removes unwanted characters and forces the remainder into uppercase. The substr() function grabs the first character of the string, regardless of length. Just studying the basic PHP functions in our example enough to understand it, will open up on dozens of ways to use just these functions in powerful ways. Just remember, your PHP is not a program, it is a script, and must terminate at some point or the page will never be returned to the client.
As loops go, you'll notice that our example is an infinite loop. It keeps requesting the same page, which is both form control and handler rolled into one, just as yours is. Let me know how you're making out, and if you wish to continue this discussion about loops, bring it back here. Other PHP topics will need to be in a new thread, though, since this one is about PHP loops.

"Disciplined, goofy, frenetic and provocative, Poor Dog Group is instantly the craziest show in town." --- Dave Nichols, Los Angeles Times
We make work that is based on our obsessions and collective identity; We make solo work that can possibly take the form of a book, audio recording, performance or video; We want to look deeper into ourselves, exploring where the theater can become unpredictable – dangerous; We want to catch the ghost of theater; We want plays to be more like weather patterns or city maps; We want to continue international exchange and personal autonomy over the exportation of our micro culture.

Fall is a great time to travel, and with a trio of deals on the horizon you'll be able to get the most bang for your buck. YNN's Valarie D'Elia filed the following report.
Simply watching the leaves turn isn't enough in New Hampshire. Not at the iconic Omni Mt. Washington resort in Bretton Woods. It's all about positioning.
"Most people when they come here they look for the view that is behind me right now, which is the view of the Presidential range. I think the insider hint really is the fact that the peak of foliage, the absolute best color that we have is on the Mt. Rosebrook mountain range which is out front where our ski area is," says Craig Clemmer of the Omni Mt. Washington Resort.
The Omni Mt. Washington Resort is one of the few remaining grand dames on the New Hampshire hotel scene. Surrounded by nature, swaddled in luxury, and hugged by an expansive porch, it is every bit a landmark treasure.
The Rest and Recreation Package includes either a $100 spa credit, 18 holes of golf with cart and lunch, or a canopy tour priced from $165 per person per night.
For those who don't want to gallop as far as the White Mountains of New Hampshire can find a stately getaway at the Gideon Putnam in Saratoga Springs, New York.
Rates for a golf getaway start at $254 based on double occupancy.
The healing waters of the historic Roosevelt Baths & Spa is the epicenter for the Wellness Weekend from October 26 through October 28. For $350 per person, based on double occupancy, this includes a two-night stay with three meals.
Midweek can be your lucky charm at the buzzy new Revel Resort in Atlantic City.
Advance pre-paid online bookings for Sunday to Friday stays start at $143 per night and are non-refundable. It also requires minimum 21-day advance reservations.

Hi Paul,
Nice work on the removesecurity.cab. It worked perfectly on my S710. Does this CAB file work on other HTC devices or is it specific to the S710? Does it just tweak registry entries? If so, do you have documentation on which registry entries to tweak for various devices to be app unlocked?

How about if I told you about a wonderful laundry detergent that is scented after those delicious desserts?
Not only does your home smell like a bakery but it's zero guilt and 100% addictive to use for all your laundry. Any cloth diapering folks here? Well, lets just say this is just as good for cloth diapers as any other soap you use....but BETTER. Believe me I've used every powdered detergent under the sun for my sons cloth diapers and laundry that these come in my top list of must haves for eco, chemical free cleaning.
Live out in the country and have a septic tank? No problem, it's safe. Hard water or Soft water? The Laundry Tarts is good with all of the above and all types of washing machines.
After all I am a blogging mom so I get to try lots of goodies and this makes my top list, when I get my Seal of Approval badge made, this is so getting one. Even though I got this to review, I am giving my honest opinion. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't endorse it.
I've been using this detergent for a month now and it cleans, softens and does such a great job. I've used them for cloth diapers as well and they are white, clean and well....just friggin great!
It comes in one Unscented version called Plain Jane and five other scents such as Key Lime Pie, Vanilla Dulce, Black Forest Cake, Cinnamon Buns and newest scent Oatmeal Almond.
It is lightly scented, so if you are sensitive to scents it is truly gentle and your clothes will smell clean and neutral.
You don't need those added chemicals and preservatives to have a better wash. A little goes a long way with these detergents.
So who are The Laundry Tarts?

Governor Hickenlooper of Colorado has followed Bloomers lead and is now enforcing the same hospital restrictions.
Just another part of the plan. Less pains meds, more pain, more resulting deaths, including suicides. Red pill or blue pill? How about neither?
Two years ago it was: "No surgery for you...take this pain pill."Now it´s:"Hurry up and die...untended in the hallway...in pain."
Bloomburg says, so what if you have a little pain.Under his plan, pain med refills cannot be called in, faxed in, and are not refillable. That is a HUGE obstacle for many people to overcome--going to the doctor´s office to pick up a refill.So, we punish the sick and elderly because of the drug abuse of miscreants? I say give out as much painkillers, free and in whatever quantity desired. Let the miscreants abuse them and die off to thin the herd of undesirables.Nanny Bloomburg thus makes this imperial proclamation.
So NYC Mayor Bloomberg doesn´t think this will harm patients?"Number one, there's no evidence of that," Bloomberg said. "Number two, supposing it is really true, so you didn't get enough painkillers and you did have to suffer a little bit. The other side of the coin is people are dying and there's nothing perfect."Is there no end to Bloomberg´s arrogance?I´d like to add that yes, having uncontrolled pain CAN harm people. When people have unmanaged pain, they are less likely to move, less likely to participate in exercise. For some, this could mean increased risk for pneumonia, bedsores, blood clots, etc.Also, as a home health care RN, I want to emphasize how very difficult it can be for some patients to leave their homes, often because of the very pain that needs to be controlled. Many health care providers have no clue about this. It IS a big deal for some patients to have to increase their doctor visits to four times per year instead of two in order to get their prescriptions refilled.I´m also appalled that a so-called "pain management specialist" thinks this is no big deal.
Evidently, we and our doctors are too stupid to decide what´s best. We need mindless bureaucrats following the script handed to them by legislators to make these decisions for us.On an unrelated topic, has anyone else noticed how ammo has REALLY gone up in price? Funny, that.
Ridiculous regulation. Druggies will still have drugs, gang-bangers will still have guns.Innocent citizens will pay for the crimes of the criminals. They are killing us softly with their regulations.
anyone out there wishing an excruciating but non-fatal condition on bloomburg?
Communism and control at its finest. Submit and die.
Bloomberg should go through some procedure like a Radical Prostatectomy and go home with a Foley Catheter inserted to pee through and go through the recovery period with minimal or reduced pain medication. I did it and was really thankful that I had ample pain medication. If I was confronted by a rule by some pompous ass of a politician that said that I had to suffer I would likely have resorted to--- Well, lets us say that I would have not been a happy camper.People go through lots of different procedures that are radical in nature that result in lots of pain. This is not going to go over so well with patients and Doctors. I can imagine that they will just ignore the rules. Another example of citizens reduced to being lawbreakers for living normal lives.Like guns, with-holding pain management medication will result in a lot of people stocking up on it when ever they can. Throw it away when it expires??? Are you crazy?And yes, I have noticed first hand how expensive ammo is.
"so you didn't get enough painkillers and you did have to suffer a little bit."So you didn´t get enough painkillers. Who cares? The important thing is to keep drugs out of the hands of those who shouldn´t have them...How´s that War on Drugs working for you now?
#5, perhaps the "pain management specialist" is figuring there will twice the office visits, that he can charge for, per patient?
Sorry for the double posts but right now, I am thinking of a number of chronic pain conditions that I wish upon Mayor Bloomberg since he thinks suffering a little more is no big deal.
This painkiller idiocy is the same thought process as gun control. Because a few abuse all must suffer.Govn has no ability whatsoever to think critically.
This is the same Government that REQUIRES us to measure pain as an additional vital sign on a scale of 1-10. I can be sanctioned and SUED for not providing adequate care for pain.Which is it ?!?!?!?!?
This government really stinks. We will soon all be in lockdown to prevent us from being harmed by a terrorist attack.
I can´t believe it´s come to this.
What an idiot. Now he thinks he is a doctor.This hurts cancer patients with unbearable pain. One of my friends has to go to a pain clinic with the drugies now for pain killers instead of getting it from her doc.
These fools continue down THIS road and the pain the patient is feeling will be nothing compared to the pain the fools will be feeling when the patient and family get their hands fee. They will be begging for pain relief of any kind. Pain drives a person crazy...good defense.
In the UK they have the LCP (Liverpool Care Protocol) where the doctor decides who is unlikely to survive and give them pain killers but withholds fluids and nourishment until the patient dies.Now Bloomberg offers the BCL (Bloomberg Cares Less) which is to withhold fluids, nourishment and painkillers.
I think Bloomberg is Obama´s trial ballooner. Once Obama sees the feedback, he knows how to squash it. Saying that making peeps in pain suffer is a fair trade off if it keeps drugs from dopers lacks any compassion, I can´t breath.Now let´s back up a couple years, when Obama decided things like hip replacements are wasted on old peeps so we should consider just giving them pain meds instead. Now he´s limiting the pain meds! I guess he wants old folks to beg for euthanasia.

As the Double-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, the Rock Cats clubhouse is baseball's equivalent of an arboretum, blossoming in the summer with big-league-ready talent while nurturing future pros, a laundry list of baseball all-stars that has previously included Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, David Ortiz, and Torii Hunter. Following the frenetic lead of Rocky, a full roster of mascots entices eyes with various forms of family-friendly entertainment throughout each game. An extra dose of off-the-field entertainment can also be savored inside the ballpark's Fun Zone, where fans test their skills by smacking baseballs in a homerun derby, throwing fastballs with speed pitch, or swinging an oversize hot dog to prepare for the day when professional baseball decides all bats must be meat-based.

In 2012, the Bluefish became the first team in Atlantic League history to reach 1,000 victories. It was a huge milestone for a franchise that today, stands as one of only two remaining charter teams throughout the entire league. The 'Fish initially brought baseball back to Park City in 1998, and advanced to the league championship series in a losing effort. A year later, though, they returned with their first league title after defeating the Somerset Patriots.
The team's early success established a winning tradition–in fact, the Bluefish didn't suffer their first losing season until their eighth year of existence. Winning hasn't been the only tradition in Bridgeport, however. The Bluefish battle the Long Island Ducks every season for the Ferry Cup, trying to establish regional supremacy on the baseball diamond instead of by firing a barrage of used baseballs across the Long Island Sound.
Founded in 1903, New Britain Museum of American Art was designated the first museum in the country to be dedicated exclusively to American artwork. Upon its founding, wealthy industrialist John Butler Talcott endowed the museum with a hefty sum of gold bonds and bottled phoenix tears with which to purchase modern oil paintings. The collection blossomed to include other artistic media over time, and it now consists of more than 10,000 works spanning more than three centuries of American creative endeavor. The museum's permanent collections showcase works by noted American artists ranging from Norman Rockwell to John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt to Georgia O'Keeffe. Along with rotating exhibitions and borrowed collections, the museum showcases work by emerging artists.
After his daytime gig as a financial planner in Manhattan, Eli Newsom returns to his theatrical roots as artistic director of Bridgeport Theatre Company, a nonprofit founded by a band of Connecticut-based artists in 2010. Eli harnesses more than 15 years of performing and teaching expertise into each season's productions, which range from acclaimed dramatic fare to beloved musicals. The company's ace staffers strive to bring each script to life with local actors and designers, and the BTC New Works program annually highlights the work of local playwrights, actors, and directors. In addition to its local cast and crew, each production depends on the aid of 25–50 volunteers, who lend a hand with countless tasks such as set construction, ushering, and haunting the theater dressed in a phantom costume.
Once the site of an alfalfa field, the original Oakdale sprang up during the theater-in-the-round craze of the 1950s. Its spinning stage drew stars such as Harry Belafonte, The Who, and Led Zeppelin, who all serenaded the open-air crowds of the '60s while simultaneously completing their gyroscope training for Apollo shuttle missions. In 1997, the Oakdale Theatre was made over into its current, 4,600-seat arrangement, which has ushered in a new generation of entertainment stars ranging from Barney to Britney.
For those who prefer standing up and shaking it during live concerts, the adjoining concert space known as The Dome mixes the comfort of a suburban theater with the energy of a downtown club as revelers revel beneath its wooden steeple.

Rosewill Armor EVO Case Review: Sometimes Performance Isn't Everything
by Dustin Sklavos on January 23, 2013 12:01 AM EST- Posted in
- Cases/Cooling/PSUs
- Rosewill
Introducing the Rosewill Armor EVO
As NewEgg's house brand, Rosewill has been growing in very interesting ways. Being the house brand of a major electronics retailer means dipping your toe into a lot of different markets, and Rosewill has expanded dramatically, to the point where their products are starting to crop up on other vendors' sites. At the same time, those products are gaining attention in their own right. Rosewill's own Thor v2 may not be the best built enclosure, but it's a dynamite performer and can oftentimes be found at a bargain.
Rosewill has also been fairly aggressive about pursuing enthusiasts. It's not enough to simply have a product and offer it; you don't see Best Buy sending out Dynex or Insignia televisions to websites for review. There's also sweet money to be had in chasing mid-to-high end buyers, and that's where the Armor EVO comes in. The EVO is a fairly modestly sized tower capable of supporting E-ATX motherboards and promises healthy cooling performance. It also comes with an unusually optimistic MSRP: $119. Is it worth the money, or did Rosewill misfire?
The company has made a habit of producing no frills products at competitive prices; their mechanical keyboards are absolutely killer deals for users who want a basic, comfortable keyboard but don't want to fork out the bread for a high end gaming keyboard. Their cases have been more hit and miss, though: the Thor v2 is fantastic, but the Ranger we reviewed left a lot to be desired. They're fairly young as a case manufacturer to be sure, and unfortunately with the Armor EVO, they may yet have a ways to go.

Price | $114 |
What's important to note about the Armor EVO is what's specifically missing from the spec table: a fan controller. You can turn the LEDs on and off, but you can't actually control the multitude of included fans. This is not the EVO's biggest problem, but it is definitely a problem because as you'll see later, the EVO has a tremendous amount of thermal headroom.
One of the other things the EVO has to worry about is another case in Rosewill's own stable: the Thor v2. I don't have comparison results for it as the Thor v2 was reviewed on our old testbed, but on the spec table, the only thing the EVO can consistently beat the Thor v2 with is size.

Hopefully more manufacturers get the picture and release more Antec 1100 wannabees like this case is.
Then maybe we can see something handily beat it :D.
As it is, it seems that the Antec 1100 would probably beat it with 1 or 2 more fans, assuming the only fans in the tested configuration were the stock 120mm on rear and 200mm on top.
I agree with Dustin that this case would be worthwhile if they fixed the fan mounting on the top and lowered the price to match Antec's 1100.
Antec 1100 +1 to 3 fans = $100 + ~$20
Rosewill Armor Evo = $120 Reply -

You know what I would like to see in case reviews photos of the case with different size motherboards. I don't care about them testing the case with all the different sizes but it would be nice to see what a Full ATX and an E-ATX would look like installed in the cases that support them using a MicroATX MB is nice for a constant variable in testing across all cases but gives you zero clue on how well a motherboard you would actually use in this case would fit or look Reply -
Sabresiberian - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - link
I agree here. I understand the reson to stick with one size mainboard for all testing, but I'm very skeptical of the clams of some of these case manufacturers when they say their case will hold "XL-ATX" and "E-ATX". Get one of those EVGA SR-2s and slap that baby in there, heh. Reply -

reason*; claims*. Sheesh, my error checker was way on the blink on this post. Reply -
Barbarossa - Monday, January 28, 2013 - link
The SR-2 is HPTX, most cases don't claim compatibility with that.
By E-ATX most people mean a Rampage or Maximus board from Asus or similar, which isn't actually the same as the TRUE E-ATX spec.
XL-ATX is kind of a made-up spec, but it was used to define longer than standard boards (more than 8 slots). Reply -

It's nice to see that twin-120mm fans on the front are standard now. Reply -

I noticed that the numbers from the recently reviewed phantom 630 were not in the tables to compare with this case. Any particular reason? Reply -
vol7ron - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - link
Not sure this would have much of an impact on results, but do you take ambient temperature before/during (maybe even after) tests? Reply -
pensive69 - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - link
how about a marriage between a small home or dorm room fridge maker and a case maker? you'd be able to do your install INSIDE an actual fridge with insulation and temp controls provided in a system designed to work at 35 - 45 F anyway?
ambient air solutions start around 30 - 40 F higher out of the box Reply
