We are all stars — at least in our own minds. And Facebook, Google+ and Twitter prove we love to tell the stories from our point of view. It's that point of view for which these hero cams have been nicknamed POV cameras. Tackle and marine stores have sensed our conceit, so now it's common to find their end caps stocked with popular POV cams.
But how do you know which features are necessary and which are just fluff? What are the most important attributes of a point-of-view camera?
POV cams are designed to shoot with a very wide angle focal length. That lets you mount them on a windshield, Bimini frame or wakeboard tower and record a panoramic view of all your boating fun.
How We Tested
We rated these five features on a scale of 1 to 3 for a total possible score of 15.
Close Focus: We pushed the lens to within inches of the target and noted the distance at which crispness diminished.
Lens Aberration: All lenses exhibit declining sharpness toward the image edge. We set cameras at 2-foot distances from a navigation chart, noting degree of blur at the edges.
Field of View: We shot video of a grid sheet from 2 feet. The lenses with 170 degrees at 1080 pixels had the widest FOV and received high scores. The CamOne offered that field of view only in 720 resolution. Contour+ got stuck on a narrow lens setting, giving a low FOV score. (That was responsible for its poor ease-of-use score.)
Video Clarity: We compared side-by-side clips of test panels, noting crispness of detail.
Ease of Use: Part judgment call and part reflection on features that worked sporadically — like the Drift housing buttons or the Contour Connect app — entered into this score.
Be sure to check back for detailed specs of the four cameras that were tested.
Tips and Accessories
You can get good video by guestimating the camera's aim, thanks to the very wide angle lenses, but viewfinders are essential to being sure. We think they should be standard.
Remote triggers are a top-notch accessory. They are optional on all but the Drift. They give more control over what you shoot and save gigabytes on your microSD card.
MicroSD cards are the norm in POVs. GoPro uses a handier SD card. Buy high-speed, high-capacity cards for best results.
We like suction cup mounts but don't trust them on applications where the camera could fall overboard. Tie a safety lanyard to the back of your camera and secure it to the boat.
RAM mounts offer aftermarket POV mounts that are rock-solid and a great choice for steadier shots on the boat. RAM made its nut selling laptop and radio mounts for military Humvees. They are solid.
You can jury-rig rail mounts with padded hose clamps.

BLUEFIELD -- Among the millions of wavering voters in the presidential race, the most prominent might be West Virginia's Joe Manchin -- a U.S. senator, a candidate for re-election and a lifelong Democrat who, less than two weeks out, is undecided about whether to support Barack Obama again.
"I don't feel compelled as I did in 2008," he says.
Manchin isn't alone among West Virginia Democrats attempting to separate themselves from the president. The governor, Earl Ray Tomblin, and a prominent congressman, Nick J. Rahall II -- both facing re-election challenges -- have also declined to publicly endorse Obama.
But the spurning of the president by the 65-year-old Manchin, a popular former governor and nowadays his state's chief political luminary, stands out -- in part because of Manchin's intense criticism of the man whom he regularly and affectionately called "Barack" during the 2008 campaign. A federal "war on coal" has harmed West Virginia and united Democratic dissenters against the Obama administration, Manchin declared in an interview last week, observing of the president's electoral fate: "I think he knows he's not going to do well in our state... . And you know what? It's personal. When people lose their jobs, they look at you and ask, 'So, what am I to do?' And they blame him."
Four years ago, before the blaming started, Manchin praised Obama as a worthy partner for coal states, declaring in a CNBC interview, "That's why it's so imperative that Barack becomes the next president." Now Manchin talks about how the Obama administration doesn't reach out to him for discussions on coal issues, and how the president has never called him.
Manchin's supporters point out that elective politics is chiefly about personal survival, with loyalty to another politician always a fluid and fragile thing. Obama, who is thought to be trailing Republican Mitt Romney by more than 20 percentage points in West Virginia, is about as popular here as wind turbines. In 2008, John McCain beat him by 13 points in the state. During this year's West Virginia Democratic primary, a Texas prison inmate received about 41 percent against Obama in a protest vote, with Manchin carefully committing to no one. West Virginia Democratic leaders urging him to support Obama have had their entreaties rebuffed.
Meanwhile, Manchin is seeking to tweak a bit of history. When reminded that he endorsed Obama in 2008 after the eventual president secured the Democratic nomination, he is quick to disagree and clarify, disliking the word "endorsed." "Well, supported him," he says.
Manchin isn't the first senator to consider not supporting his party's nominee. In 2004, for instance, then-Sen. Lincoln D. Chafee, R-R.I., announced that he wasn't planning to vote for President George W. Bush, while Zell Miller of Georgia did not vote for fellow senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, the Democratic presidential nominee.
In West Virginia, Manchin has a comfortable lead in his race against Republican John Raese. Raese lost to Manchin by about 10 points in a 2010 special election, in which the Democrat captured the seat previously held by the state's late legend Robert C. Byrd. Manchin, who had trailed through much of the campaign, saw his standing soar after running a TV ad in which he aimed a rifle and viewers saw a bullet slicing through a mock-up of an Obama-favored cap-and-trade bill to regulate carbon emissions.
His track record has reflected his streaks of independence from the administration and his party, as well as his mercurial nature, all of it serving to safeguard his maverick image in West Virginia. After indicating support in early 2010 for the Affordable Care Act, which won passage before he entered the Senate, Manchin's perspective, in line with the state's burgeoning anti-Obama sentiment, swiftly evolved to the point where he charged that the law was "overreaching" and in need of reform.
But all other issues here pale next to the question of which candidates will best protect the coal industry. Raese -- who has seized on the unpopularity of Obama here and several regulations from the administration's Environmental Protection Agency that affect the state's coal industry -- speaks at every opportunity about the purported link between Manchin and the president. He hopes to benefit from anti-Obama TV ads running across the state that feature a 2008 recording of then-candidate Obama saying, "If somebody wants to build a coal power plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them."
The dispute stretches beyond West Virginia. Coal has emerged as a fierce issue in parts of Ohio and Virginia, two battleground states with communities that are historically reliant on the industry, as well as in Pennsylvania, a state the Romney campaign hopes to keep in play by winning over disgruntled coal workers.
At a rally in Moon Township, Pa., last weekend, Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan repeated that the Obama administration has waged a "war on coal," asserting that more than 100 coal plants had been scheduled to close, at a cost of thousands of jobs.
Data from the government and the coal industry suggest a complicated picture. Although there are more coal jobs now than when Obama took office, overall coal production has fallen slightly, according to industry statistics. Over the past year, a decline in demand for coal has led to layoffs in parts of Appalachia. In West Virginia, 1,300 coal jobs were lost during the past quarter, according to the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration.
Although some administration critics bitterly cite EPA regulations that restrict certain kinds of mining operations and increase operational costs, many industry analysts observe that coal's biggest problem at the moment is the competitive presence of natural gas, which has become a cheaper and increasingly attractive alternative. Technological advances have led some coal-fired plants to switch to natural gas.

Janet Street-Porter

Janet Street-Porter in 2005
Born | Janet Vera Ardern 27 December 1946 Brentford, Middlesex, England |
Notable credit(s) | Editor of The Independent on Sunday Contestant on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Loose Women panellist |

Janet Vera Ardern, known as Janet Street Porter (born 27 December 1946) is a British media personality, journalist and broadcaster. She was editor for two years of The Independent on Sunday. She relinquished the job to become editor-at-large in 2002.[2] Her distinctive London accent and her teeth have been the butt of many comic routines.[3][4]
Street-Porter was a contestant on the fourth series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2004. She came fourth place. In 2013, she competed in Celebrity MasterChef, claiming the runner-up position, losing out to Ade Edmondson.
Since 2011, Street-Porter has been a regular panellist on the ITV chat show Loose Women.
Early life[edit]
Janet Street-Porter was born Janet Vera Ardern in Brentford, Middlesex, a daughter of Stanley W G Bull, an electrician and Cherry Cuff Ardern (née Jones) a Welsh[5] school dinner lady. Her mother was still married to her first husband, George Ardern, at the time, and was not to marry Stanley until 1954, hence her name being recorded thus in the birth records. She was later to take her father's surname.
She grew up in Fulham and Perivale, West London. Her family, she says, were poor. She went to Lady Margaret School in Parsons Green from 1958 to 1964 and then spent two years at the Architectural Association School of Architecture, where she met her first husband, photographer Tim Street-Porter.[6]
Early career[edit]
She dropped out of college and found media work. After a brief stint at a girls' magazine called Petticoat, she joined the Daily Mail in 1969, where she became the deputy fashion editor.[7] She became fashion editor of the Evening Standard in 1971.[6]
When the LBC local radio station began to broadcast in 1973, Street-Porter co-presented a mid-morning show with Fleet Street columnist, Paul Callan.[8] The intention was sharply to contrast the urbane Callan and the urban Street-Porter. Their respective accents became known to the station's studio engineers as "cut-glass" and "cut-froat." Friction between the ill-sorted pair involved constant one-upmanship that made for compelling listening, causing, it was claimed, more than one traffic accident.
In early 1975, Street-Porter was launch editor of Sell Out, an off-shoot of the London listings magazine, Time Out, alongside its publisher and her second husband, Tony Elliott. The magazine was not a success.[9]
Street-Porter went into television at LWT in 1975, first as a reporter on a series of mainly youth-oriented programmes, including The London Weekend Show (1975–79). She went on to present the late-night chat show Saturday Night People (1978–80) with Clive James and Russell Harty. She later produced Twentieth Century Box (1980–82), presented by Danny Baker.[6]
She was editor of the innovative Channel Four Network 7 show from 1987. The same year the then BBC 2 boss, Alan Yentob, appointed her head of youth and entertainment features. She was responsible for the twice-weekly DEF II and commissioned Rapido, Red Dwarf and Rough Guide.[10] Her Network 7 show was in 1988 awarded a BAFTA for its graphics.
In 1992, she provided the story for The Vampyr: A Soap Opera, the BBC's adaptation of Heinrich August Marschner's opera Der Vampyr, which featured a new libretto by Charles Hart.
Street-Porter's approach did not endear her to critics, who objected to her diction and questioned her suitability as an influence on Britain's youth.[10] In her final year at the BBC, she became head of independent commissioning. She left the BBC for Mirror Group Newspapers in 1994 to become joint-managing director with Kelvin MacKenzie[10] of the ill-fated L!VE TV channel. She left after four months.[6] In 1996, Street-Porter set up her own production company.
She has appeared on numerous reality TV shows, including Call Me a Cabbie and So You Think You Can Teach. The latter saw her trying to work as a primary school teacher.[11]
In 2004, Street-Porter was a contestant on the ITV series I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. She finished in fourth place.
Street-Porter conducted numerous interviews with business figures and others for Bloomberg TV.[11]
Since 1998, Janet has appeared annually on BBC's Question Time. Her most recent appearance was 4 October 2012.
In 2000, Street-Porter was nominated for the "Mae West Award for the Most Outspoken Woman in the Industry" at Carlton Television's Women in Film and Television Awards.[6]
In 2006, she appeared regularly on chef Gordon Ramsay's The F-Word, where she was the "field correspondent." In this capacity, it was her job to locate outlandish or unusual food such as crocodile and then tempt diners to have a taste. In the third series of the show she caused controversy when she attempted to serve up horse meat at Cheltenham Racecourse. She was thwarted by the police, who described the stunt as highly provocative, and she had to dish the meat out elsewhere. Ramsay himself became the target of animal rights protesters, who dumped a ton of horse manure outside his restaurant at Claridge's.[12]
In 2007, Street-Porter starred in an ITV2 reality show called Deadline. She served as a tough-talking editor who worked with a team of celebrity "reporters" whose job it was to produce a weekly gossip magazine. The celebrities in question had to endure the Street-Porter tongue as she decided each week which of them to fire.[13]
In 2011, Janet became a regular panellist on ITV's lunchtime chat show Loose Women.
In 2013 she appeared in Celebrity MasterChef, and reached the final three in the competition, but lost out to Ade Edmondson.
Newspaper work[edit]
Street-Porter became editor of the Independent on Sunday in 1999. Despite derision from her critics, she took the paper's circulation up to 270,460, an increase of 11.6 per cent.[6] In 2002 she became editor-at-large, writing a regular column.
She has written for numerous newspapers and magazines.
Following the death of Ian Tomlinson, Street-Porter dedicated her editor-at-large column in the Independent on Sunday to painting a picture of Tomlinson as a "troubled man with quite a few problems":
"Knowing that he was an alcoholic is critical to understanding his sense of disorientation and his attitude towards the police, which might on first viewing of the video footage, seem a bit stroppy."[14]
Street-Porter has also attracted criticism over an article on depression in the Daily Mail in May 2010, in which she said, "Depression? It's just the new trendy illness!"[15] People have criticised the article for being condescending to those who suffer from depression and belittling the issue.[16][17][18] In October 2012, Ed Miliband mentioned this article in a speech on mental illness,[19] calling it "a shocking article".[20]
Other activities[edit]
Street-Porter was president of the Ramblers' Association for two years from 1994. She walked across Britain from Dungeness in Kent to Conway in Wales for the series Coast to Coast in 1998.[6] She also walked from Edinburgh to London in a straight line in 1998, for a television series and her book, As the Crow Flies.[21]
In 1994, for the documentary series The Longest Walk, she visited long-distance walker Ffyona Campbell on the last section of her round-the-world walk.
In 1987, Street-Porter commissioned a house from CZWG Architects. The building, its exterior a postmodernist mini-echo, conscious or not, of Broadcasting House,[citation needed] stands out among Clerkenwell's mainly Georgian houses.
In 1966, Street-Porter appeared as an extra in the nightclub scene in Blowup. In 2003, she wrote and presented a one-woman show at the Edinburgh Festival titled All the Rage.[2] She published the autobiographical Baggage in 2004, about her childhood in working class London. Its sequel is titled Fallout.[2] Life's Too F***ing Short is a volume which presents, as she puts it, her answer to "getting what you want out of life by the most direct route."
Personal life[edit]
While studying architecture, Street-Porter married another student, Tim Street-Porter.[6] He was the first of four husbands.[22]
A friend of the model Elizabeth Hurley, Street-Porter danced with Hurley and six others at Indian-style celebrations the night before Hurley's marriage to Arun Nayar in 2007.[23]
She lives between Nidderdale, North Yorkshire,[24] Kent and London.[25] An active member of the Nidderdale community, Street-Porter contributes her time and energy to a number of local causes. She is currently the president of the Burley Bridge Association, leading a campaign for a crossing over the River Wharfe linking North and West Yorkshire.[26]

With almost every edition of the Press-Republican, we see another story of a local school district under budgetary pressure. It is worth pondering why New York State has the highest education costs per student in the nation.
One reason may be that we have a penchant for small towns, municipalities and school districts. In Clinton County, we have eight school districts serving a little more than 12,000 students. This works out to about 1,500 students, on average, for entire school districts, which is smaller than the high school I attended.
In 2000, the majority of our nation's public-education students were educated in districts larger than 10,000 students, and about a third of students were in districts of more than 25,000.
Since then, there has been further consolidation. The median public-education student in this country learns in a district of about the same size as the eight districts in Clinton County combined.
We should be careful to discern between larger districts and larger schools. There is evidence that students do better in smaller schools than in the large mega-schools of many urban areas. However, there is also research that shows students perform better in larger school districts.
This seeming contradiction is because larger districts afford greater opportunities for specialized expertise. They also have greater economies of scale in technical assistance to teachers and students, and are hence more effective learning organizations that are able to muster more managerial talent and pool resources more effectively than small districts.
I see one additional artifact of larger school districts that lies on the other side of the autonomy issue. It is well known that we may find fault in our nation's Congress, but we like our own representative. This seemingly universal conclusion is because our representative is not like the other ones. We have no influence with other leaders, but we feel we have the ear of our own representative. That is one important factor in the plus column that biases our regards.
The same effect occurs with our school districts. We may all agree that other districts, municipalities, towns and cities ought to be consolidated to enhance educational opportunities, reduce superintendent salaries and lower costs. Yet, we don't want to sacrifice autonomy in our own district.
Instead, we feel we have greater influence over a smaller district. On the other hand, the taxpayer who foots the bill is really in the same position anywhere. As a consequence, local advocates seem to hold greater sway when districts are small.
And, with fewer taxpayers in a small district, our most vocal advocates for greater school spending feel they have more influence on their neighbors and parents who can be convinced to support spending for their children.
We all should have an interest in the quality of education. That does not mean we should invest an inordinate amount. We should invest the correct amount and expect good value.
Our support of education ought not depend on whether we have children or earn a living as an educator. Such are special interests and ought not go into the calculation.
Yet, it is often parents of school-aged children and educators who are the most vocal and influential taxpayers. They attend the meetings and tend to drown out the softer din of others concerned about education in general.
It is these special interests that prevent consolidation or stymie reform. Every special interest is reluctant to change because it threatens the prevailing power base.
As an educator myself, I often lament that we conduct education in almost the same way we have for millennia. Our subject matter has changed, classes are sometimes smaller, and sometimes much bigger, and we use whiteboards instead of blackboards.
As we face difficult budgetary realities, let's be sure this is not about parents, districts and administrators. Instead, let us rethink how to create the best-value education in the country. Permit us to use every tool in our box so we can be sure our students today offer us the best opportunity for a sustainable future, just as our hard work today pays for their education and sustains us all now.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is out with a new television advertisement this week that basically repeats the same claims that it has been making for the past few months: Republican Matt Doheny is out of touch with the north country and has Wall Street values.
I've taken issue before about the claim that Mr. Doheny worked for a company that "used cheap foreign labor." Fintech Advisory did indeed invest in companies in Mexico and Argentina, but if that makes one an investor in cheap foreign labor, I might as well fold my aggressive 401(K), which includes many international investments.
The only thing really new here is the panoramic shots of the Adirondacks, footage of farmers at work and the image of a sign for Fort Drum.
Mr. Doheny's opponent is Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh. The election is Nov. 6.

Residential Living
Residence Life Maintenance Requests | ||
The Housing and Residence Life Office strives to make the residence halls a "home away from home" for students. We are dedicated to the social and mental well-being of our residents, as well as their physical comfort while living on campus. We are pleased to provide a safe environment conducive to the educational, social, and overall developmental growth of the resident.
There is lots of useful information about the Residence Life program and the residence halls here in the housing web site. If you can't find what you are looking for then please come by our office in the Student Development suite on the 3rd floor of Wren Student Union or call us at 828-689-1253.
Live-In Requirement
Living in a residence hall at Mars Hill University is a part of your college education that cannot be duplicated. Living harmoniously with other students of varied backgrounds, experiences and personal philosophies is an essential part of the college learning experience. Mars Hill believes in this mission so much that all single first and second year students who are not commuting from their parents' home are required to live in one of the campus residence halls.
Immediate exemptions from live-in requirement are:
- More than 60 credit hours (Jr or Sr status)
- 21 years of age or older
- Married or a single parent
- Living at home with immediate family (parents)
- Veterans of more than 180 consecutive days of active military duty
If you do not meet one of these immediate exemptions and you would like to be released from the housing requirement, you will need to fill out a Live-in/Meal Plan waiver form. You will need to explain any special circumstances that necessitate why you should be exempt from the live-in requirement. This request will be sent to a committee for review and a response will be issued within two weeks. Students not released from the live-in requirement will be charged for housing regardless of whether they live on campus or not.

"I was very pleased with this card. I paid extra for the edges to be rounded and I am glad that I did. It gave the card a softer appearance. I used black and white photos and thought it was a great balance. Great purchase to announce the arrival of our sweet baby girl."
"The card turned out beautiful! Worth the money. I changed my photos to sepia and they matched the background perfectly. It is a very soft, sweet baby announcement. I am very pleased."
"I loved the fact that I could personalize EVERYTHING about this card! I was able to change the size, font, and wording on the card. I also loved the fact that I could review my finished product before purchasing them. They came earlier than expected by almost a week and they looked FANTASTIC!! I will definitely be using Tinyprints again in the future!"
"LOVE that you can deal directly with a designer to change little things on the announcement that would make it just that much better or personal! We changed our daughter's name to be printed in pink color since the announcement itself isn't very "girly." I also love that you can do pics on the back!!"
"The quality of this paper is excellent - looks very expensive! We have gotten responses from so many friends and family commenting on how much they love our announcements! 100% happy with quality, color, images and delivery times! Would recommend this product looks very classy!"

Mardi Gras officially begins on Twelfth Night (January 6) and lasts until Ash Wednesday, and King Cake is the traditional dessert served at this time. French settlers brought this custom to New Orleans around 1870 to celebrate the feast of the Epiphany- the arrival of the three wise men bearing gifts twelve days after Christmas. The round shape of the cake represents the circular route taken by the Three Kings to confuse King Herod, who was following them to find the Christ child. A small figurine symbolizing the baby Jesus, small coin or bean is baked into the King Cake. In 1871, the tradition of choosing the queen of the Mardi Gras was decided by whoever found the prize in the cake. Today, it is considered good luck to find the prize and that person usually hosts next year's party and bakes the King Cake. The three colors used to decorate the cake are symbolic to the festival and were chosen in 1872: purple for justice, green for faith and gold for power.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Tsubaki
"This is a great alternative to the familiar yellow potato salad. The dried dill weed is much more potent than fresh and alleviates some of the blandness of similar recipes."
Watch video tips and tricks
3 pounds new red potatoes
1 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons dried dill weed
4 green onions, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste (optional)
Simple and delicious! If you love the flavor of dill, you'll LOVE this potato salad! It tastes a little bit like "sour cream and onion" due to the green onion in this. I followed the recipe exactly, using the optional salt and cracked black pepper. To lighten it up I used Hellman's lite mayo and light sour cream. I really wouldn't change much with this except maybe to use a bit less dill - 1 & 1/2 Tbsp. next time. This is a definite keeper when you want a quick, great tasting potato salad.
I liked the idea of this for its simplicity but found it pretty tasteless before I did a lot of doctoring. I added a lot more dill (I used fresh), celery salt, Jane's Krazy Mixed Up Salt, and some thinly sliced radishes and celery. There was also a little too much mayonnaise for my liking, so I mellowed out the tang with more sour cream. Basic recipes are nice to build upon, but they should also stand alone on their own merits without tinkering being necessary.
47 Ratings
After making a few minor changes such as adding a little celery seed and increasing the sour cream to 1 cup and decreasing the dillweed to 1-1/2 TBSP, we found this to be a wonderful potato salad.
Really simple and very tasty. I added celery which just gave it a nice crunch.
This is very good. Reminds me of vegetable dip. A shortcut is to slice your potatoes into bite sized pieces before you boil them.
This was a very good and simple potato salad! I did add just a little celery seed, will make this again & again!
best homemade potato saled ever. used only 1 1/2 tbsp dill and upped the sour cream to a cup. yummy. oh and i used light mayo.
I first did this with the potatoes to thick and so it was good but when i made the pieces smaller it made a world of difference. This recipe taste the same as my fav from Antone's sandwiches.

Definition of Entoprocta in English:
Syllabification: En·to·proc·taPronunciation: /ˌentəˈpräktə
- A small phylum of sedentary aquatic invertebrates that resemble moss animals. They have a rounded body on a long stalk, bearing a ring of tentacles for filtering food from the water.More example sentences
- In our original description the Cycliophora was related to the Entoprocta and Ectoprocta on the basis of ultrastructural research.
- Cycliophora was originally allied to the Entoprocta and Ectoprocta based on ultrastructual research.
- In the original description we stated that the Cycliophora are related to Entoprocta / Ectoprocta.
- More example sentences
- It supports a number of unlikely associations - entoprocts with nemerteans, phoronid with annelids, and pogonophorans with gastropod mollusks.
- The body cavity nature varies considerably in these phyla, from complete absence of body cavity in the entoprocts and gastrotrichs to the priapulid body cavity that is actually interpreted as a true coelom by some authors.
- His close association of entoprocts and ectoprocts is not supported by molecular data although both groups fall within the Lophotrochozoa clade.
Pronunciation: /ˈentəˌpräkt/
modern Latin (plural), from Greek entos 'within' + prōktos 'anus', the anus being within the ring of tentacles.

- Touch-Down Drain: This innovation from Danze is a representation of their efforts to make products easier for customers to install and use. Recognizing that assembling and adjusting the drain can often be the most difficult part of replacing a bathroom faucet; these drains were designed to set easily with minimal tools or putties required. Once set these drains are guaranteed to function flawlessly as long as you own the faucet.
- Drip-Free Ceramic Disc Valves: By making these components standard across all of their bathroom faucets, Danze has made leaking and rough operating faucets a thing of the past. These valves provide a lifetime of smooth handle control, and never allow a drop of water out of place. They are maintenance free and are sturdy enough to withstand the most severe conditions.

7 Questions from the Community
Do I need a additional rough in valve? I can't tell if one is included.
What does the person mean no Aerator?
Since the Danze D22154 is considered a natural water stream, does that mean the flow will come out with not much force?
The feature list says "all brass pop-up drain assembly" yet the specs make no mention of a pop-up drain and there is no pop-up drain handle visible in the picture. Please verify that this faucet has a pop-up lever and that the drain assy is included in the purchase.
does this faucet come with the plate to cover a 3 hole sink
what do you do to get the faucet to make all hot water, or all cold? i bought this faucet and it only goes back and forth, for temp... how to turn it on and off, so that the handle is 90 degrees? does this make sense?
Does this faucet have a matching Roman Tub set?

Additionally, the revision incorporated the language from Policy 2445.44: Rules for Granting Exemptions to the Legal Requirements for the Adoption and Utilization of Textbook. This action resulted in the repeal of Policy 2445.44.
The State Board of Education approved this policy revision on January 9, 2013.

I-395 jammed due to collapsed storm drain
July 14, 2011 - 07:36 am
A collapsed storm drain on the inbound 14th Street Bridge snarled traffic for hours, as jams stretched well back onto I-395 throughout the morning rush.
The drain collapsed in the area where drivers merge off the 14th Street Bridge and onto the Southwest/Southeast Freeway.
DDOT crews are temporarily fixed the problem by covering the hole with a large steel plate and asphalt ramps leading to and away from it.
A DDOT spokesman says that crews will make permanent repairs in the coming days.

Dr. Sproul starts discussing this section by reviewing Peter's great confession in Matthew 16:13-17 to remind us that Christ built a confessing church and explains a time in school when he had to confess his faith in Jesus. Dr. Sproul then discusses Jesus' claim to be the way, the truth … Listen
From Jerusalem to Illyricum

The US isn't strong enough not to care about them now. But one day it will be, Jim Cramer says.
- Pot-stock billionaire says shares are high
Shares of CannaVest, a hemp-based investment firm, have skyrocketed this year.
- What ate into McDonald's sales?
The fast-food giant blamed a drop in same-store sales on the weather.
Too much selling can reverse course with one positive earnings report.
Occasionally the market gets it wrong. When a company reports results that are contrarian to conventional wisdom of investors, big profits can follow.
The entire financial sector has been weak for most of 2011. Banks, Wall Street firms and regional brokerage firms have been pummeled by aggressive selling. On the surface the action was very much a broad brush and may make bank stocks stupid cheap.
As such traders digging a bit deeper could exploit valuation discrepancies compared to reality. The key to success of any earnings trade is to identify a company that is likely to surprise those betting against a certain outcome.
If actual results surprise, shorts will cover and previous sellers are likely to return as buyers sending share prices higher. The key is to accurately predict results based on prior performance with a good idea of what will drive a particular company's shares higher.
Case in point is Piper Jaffray Companies (PJC)

A miss on both ends of the income statement shears shares by 34%.
By Rick Aristotle Munarriz
Travel deals publisher and Groupon coattails hopper Travelzoo (TZOO) was fed to the lions today after a shocking quarterly miss.
This morning's report would seem to be spectacular if you didn't know what the expectations were. Revenue climbed 34% to $37.6 million, the company's headiest growth in four years. Despite investing to expand into 27 new local deal markets and testing its first ever television spot, net margins improved with earnings soaring 51% to $4.9 billion -- or $0.30 a share.
However, the shares opened 30% lower today because Wall Street was banking on a profit of $0.38 a share on $39.9 million in revenue.
Missing on one end of the income statement is painful, but missing on both ends is an unforgivable mistake.
Stay away from shares of Bank of America for now, but if the stock price drops further a buying opportunity may arise.

Express Scripts' acquisition reflects strong investing opportunities in the sector.
By Jake Lynch, TheStreet
Express Scripts' (ESRX) plan to acquire rival Medco Health (MHS) is drawing attention to health care as investors look for growth opportunities in 2011's hot sector.
Health care is the best-performing industry group of the 10 majors in the S&P 500 ($INX) this year, with its 46 components delivering a median gain of 13%. Top performers include Biogen Idec (BIIB), Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) and Humana (HUM).
Thursday's deal may make Express Scripts the largest pharmacy benefits manager in the U.S., controlling 30% of the market. CVS Caremark (CVS) would be the odd man out, in second place for market share.

The recent lack of participation by retail investors in US equities is a contrarian signal to buy, a strategist says.
By Robert Holmes, TheStreet
Retail investors are turning more bearish on U.S. equities, according to the latest data on sentiment and mutual fund flows, but one market strategist says it is time to be greedy now that others are fearful.
Investor sentiment worsened last week, according to a survey by the American Association of Individual Investors. The AAII Investor Sentiment Survey, which measures the percentage of individual investors who are bullish, bearish and neutral on the stock market for the next six months, showed that bearish sentiment rose 1.4% in the week ended July 20. That compares with a 0.5% rise in bullish sentiment and 1.9% decline in neutral sentiment.
Mutual fund flow data also show retail investors are steering clear of U.S. equities. The Investment Company Institute estimates that equity funds saw total outflows of $3.4 billion in the week ended July 13. Foreign equity funds saw an estimated increase of $648 million, while domestic equity funds saw more than $4 billion drain out over the week.

The investment bank's efforts to revamp its fixed-income business might be paying off. With video on Morgan Stanley's second-quarter results.
By Shanthi Bharatwaj, TheStreet
Morgan Stanley's (MS)fixed-income trading revenue in the second quarter not only showed the much-anticipated sign of improvement but delivered a sound thrashing to rival Goldman Sachs (GS).
The investment bank's revenue from trading turned out to be much better than anticipated at $5.2 billion. Fixed-income trading revenue fell 10% year on year to $ 2.1 billion but was up 18% quarter on quarter. The higher revenues reflected hedging gains from exposure to monoline bond insurers and increased revenue in credit products that offset significantly lower results in commodities.
Equity trading revenue came in at $1.8 billion, up 9% quarter on quarter, despite lower trading volume, and up 31% year on year.

But a look at the charts shows one carrier's stock is bucking the trend and acting strong.
These funds rely on a buy-and-hold strategy in the often volatile agricultural sector.
By Don Dion, TheStreet
The agricultural industry started off this year on a strong note and continues to generate headlines regularly.
However, increasingly, this corner has become a choppy region of the market. With the divergence in crop prices, the full-steam-ahead mentality that defined much of the opening half of the year has begun to fall by the wayside.
Bullish agriculture investors will want to maintain a conservative stance on this industry in order to avoid being taken to the slaughterhouse. Clear evidence of the shaky action in the food industry can be found in "soft" commodities, such as coffee, sugar and cotton.

Ma Bell's mobile business grew by 331,000 customers, while wired connections fell by more than a million.
By Scott Moritz, TheStreet
AT&T (T) reported growth in wireless, thanks to the Apple (AAPL) iPhone and to tablet sales, but slow video gains and continued declines in wired connections dragged down results.
The Dallas phone giant reported a profit Thursday of 60 cents a share, down a penny from year-ago earnings and in line with analysts' estimates.
In terms of sales for the second quarter, Ma Bell booked $31.5 billion in sales, up 2% from the $30.8 billion level a year ago, and slightly above the $31.3 billion analysts were looking for.

Technology trends will force these companies to change or crumble.
In the past it was hard to keep up. Now it's downright impossible. Companies like Hewlett-Packard-owned (HPQ), Palm, Yahoo (YHOO) and Blockbuster were all huge just 10 years ago. They still looked like the future. Now they're slowly crumbling, trying to keep up with the likes of Apple (AAPL) and its iPhone, Google (GOOG) and its ever-tightening grip on the Web, and the ubiquity of Netflix's (NFLX) streaming video.
The road to obsolescence is shorter than ever. Investors, analysts and reporters are turning on hot companies shortly after or even before their lusted-after IPOs are delivered. Look at the backlash against daily-deals business Groupon or floundering streaming-music service Pandora (P).
Who will be obsolete by the middle of this decade? Consider these three stocks:

Analysis: The deadlock in Washington has gotten so bad that the nation's central bank is getting ready for what might happen after Uncle Sam bounces his checks.
By Jeff Reeves, Editor, InvestorPlace.com
Reports emerged last night that the Federal Reserve is actively preparing for a government debt default. With negotiations over the debt ceiling still going nowhere, it's clear that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and his fellow central bankers don't want to be caught without a plan.
There are just 12 days to go until the Aug. 2 deadline set by the Treasury, when the government will run out of money and stop paying some bills. And, barring a last-minute compromise, the U.S. will face at least a credit downgrade and at worst the label of outright default on its debts.
Yes, it has gotten this bad. And the Fed is preparing for the worst.

Still no debt deal. More uncertainty in Europe. Tech stinking up the joint. We've been here before. The best strategy for now is to own good stocks and dividends.
Back in the soup. No doubt about it.
No debt deal here. Lots of discord and posturing about Greek debt there. No uniform view. Some talking about selective defaults on Greek bonds, others talking about bailout terms of no certainty. To watch the decline in European markets as the discord unfolded was pretty breathtaking, although the Germans and the French keep saying they agree on a plan and that something positive is imminent.
It's always imminent with these politicians, isn't it? China didn't help either, with a purchasing managers report that could indicate a hard landing ahead -- something at odds with many other reports -- but none too positive.
All in all, it was a back-to-the-old-bad-ways night again, with my fallback defensive plan of not being all that opportunistic. Staying with a nontrading, "owning good stocks and dividends" strategy remains the best posture, and extreme caution is needed without European and American debt resolutions.

I looked at this stock about a year ago, and my thoughts are still relevant today.
Risk of growth by acquisition
Very significant portion of Brown & Brown's (BRO) growth in the past came from acquiring brokers. I am naturally skeptical of sustainability of this type of growth as it comes with the following risks:
A midcycle upgrade is coming in time for a year-end sales boost, an analyst says.
By Scott Moritz, TheStreet
Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 4S isn't the only device getting a minor upgrade. The Mac shop is also preparing a modest improvement to the iPad, which should arrive in time for the holidays.
Eager to flog would-be tablet competitors, Apple has modified the iPad 2 with a "slimmer profile with higher screen and camera resolution," said Rodman Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar, citing his supply and manufacturing sources.
The midcycle upgrade appears to advance the iPad 2 but is not the full redesign expected with next year's iPad 3, Kumar said.

These shares may not be long-term holds, but they are cheap.
By Matt Koppenheffer
Fool regulars may know that although I spend most of my time looking for value-priced, dividend-paying stocks that I can own for the long term, I do occasionally like to rummage around in the bargain bin to see if there are any severely beaten-down stocks worth owning.
With these stocks, I'm not looking for cream-of-the-crop businesses that I want to own for years. I'm simply looking for decent businesses that are underpriced. I put a small amount of money into each and own them as a broader basket.
This search is far from idle. In my last go-round, one stock, Genworth Financial, was already part of personal portfolio, and three of the four others -- Bank of America (BAC), Hartford Financial Services (HIG), and Cemex -- have all been buys for me since I published that article.

Newton Citizen
COVINGTON Rickie Corley has announced his candidacy for the District 2 Board of Commissioners seat.
Corley, who is running as a Republican, previously served on the Newton County Board of Education for 12 years. A lifelong Newton County resident, Corley is the owner and operator of Corley's Used Cars and Auto Service. The District 2 seat is currently held by Commissioner Earnest Simmons. As part of his business endeavors, Corley said he is often out and about in the community listening to the concerns of residents. Corley said he was encouraged to run by many of those people. "District 2 needs better representation. I hear people say they have issues that don't get addressed; they can't get a response," Corley said. Corley identified growth, economic development, customer service, accountability, safety of residents, jobs, gridlock at intersections and making sure taxpayers get the most for their tax dollars as the key issues he will focus on if elected. "We need new perspectives and ideas to move us into the future. I will provide the kind of leadership District 2 needs and deserves with conservative values. I will be more accessible and accountable. I have a proven track record of collaborating with others to provide results and will use this experience to make Newton County the best it can be," he said. Corley graduated from Newton High School and has an associate degree in business management. He has served as PTO president for Livingston Elementary School and on school committees and parent councils. He served on the Board of Education for 12 years, including two years as chairman. Corley was defeated in his bid for re-election to the District 2 Board of Education seat in November 2008. He and his wife Robbie have four children and six grandchildren, who all reside in Newton County. Corley said he has a vested interest in improving the quality of life in Newton County due to his family's deep roots here. "Governing Newton County is big business. My training, education and experience in business will be an asset to this board. The challenges before us are great, but I know that if we all work together and conserve our resources, we will come out on top," he said. Corley asked for anyone with questions or concerns e-mail email@example.com. Qualifying for the Nov. 2 General Election takes place April 26-30.More like this story

06-04-2012, 11:58 PM #1023I installed a nice and loud air horn set up in the Burb today.
I got tired of people cutting me off or turning right in front of me like I was some small invisible hybrid. So now I'll get to leave a lasting impression on the idiots of the road.
06-05-2012, 12:23 AM #1025It was just a cheap 3 horn set up from Harbor Freight. I have no idea on how to make my own, but I'd LOVE to find out how to do one of those super loud one's that sound like a train!
But this one will suffice for the job at hand. The packaging says it's rated at 135 decibles. I have no way of decerning whether or not that's accurate other than to say it's at least 2 times louder than my stock horns.
06-05-2012, 12:34 AM #1029I take it a set up like that would require a seperate tank to store the needed amount of compressed air??
06-05-2012, 12:44 AM #1030That's what I've read. There are some compressors that might do the job for short bursts but I'd prefer to have a 3-6 gallon tank on board. That means on-board air which can get spendy... and if I'm going to do it I might as well do it in such a way that I can run air tools off it, too. I'm in no rush on this project; it's going to be a long, long while, I think.

You can make Siri say some pretty silly things with a little bit of effort — but what if that's not good enough for you?
What if you have a strange desire to fake even sillier conversations with the virtual assistant? And what if you want to create these phony exchanges without even touching an iPhone 4S?
No problem. All you have to do is head to a website called iFakeSiri and you'll be able to create as many faux Siri screenshots as you'd like. Just follow the formatting instructions, select your preferred cellular carrier, and you'll have a convincing screenshot in seconds.
It's worth noting that while the iFakeSiri screenshots are authentic looking, they certainly won't fool anyone for too long — especially if he or she tries to reproduce them with the real Siri. But that doesn't mean that they won't be good for a quick laugh or a goofy Facebook post.
