Honeywell True HEPA Filter Product ReviewsModel Number: HRF-H2 Category: Air Purifiers Dimensions: 4.54 x 3.19 x 10.11 in Price: $34.99 Excellent ProductThese filters are great! The HPA-150 uses 2 of them so be sure to order the HRF-H2. The HEPA filters will last about a year IF you change the pre-filter frequently. The instruction manual says to change the pre-filter every 3 months, this is WAY too long. Changing the less costly pre-filters more often will prolong the life of the more expensive HEPA filters. Clean air v. CostThis is a great air filter and you really can tell a difference in the air quality. I have a Siberian husky in Texas and for those of you who don't know, they tend to shed....a lot. I think these filters serve there purpose to rid my nose of horrible allergies and continuous sneezing. However I noticed the filters said to replace both the pre filter (B) and this filter (H) every 12 months. While I wish I could say I had the luxury of waiting that long, unfortunately I found that I needed to replace the filters (especially the pre filters) more frequently than each year. With the amount of filters I have purchased I feel that their costs are starting to overwhelm my need for them. Nevertheless the filters do serve their purpose but the bottom line is to use your air purifier wisely because the air doesn't stay clean forever! hepa reviewThis filter came very quickly and works extremely well in one room. It is quiet and efficient and has eased my son's allergies immensely while in college. Does the jobThe filter works as expected.Right Product Right PriceThis was the right product at the right price and delivery was quicker than expected. filtersfast and easy way to get filters I needed and now can have stocked and on hand hand Purchase March 2013A little disappointed that I had to buy 2 instead of one but they came quickly and I guess I have an extra one for the future. fast and convenietMy family suffers from allergies, and we have used this product for a number of years. It sure helps control our symptoms. I find it very easy and convenient to order from this website, and very reliable. Hepa FilterHelps with allergies, Good producth filterIt works fine. The air purifier doesn't always get rid of ordors, but the filters are good. Great ServiceFilters were just what I expected. Service and delivery were fast. Nothing bad to say. Air filterJust received my Honeywell air purifier for Christmas, but so far so good! It runs well, although louder than I like. Filters easy to install. areas with low housing costsi purchased this product on line, both the Honeywell Premium Odor Reducing Air Purifier Pre-filter &Honeywell HRF-H2 True HEPA Filter. I absolutely adore my honeywell TRUE Heppa AIR puruifier. As i read in another review when someone wrote within 3 hours of starting their TRUE heppa air purifier they could breathe. Me too. As life long user of sudafed or claritin D or breathe rite naseal strips it was a pleasure to have my stuffy nose work like noses are suppose to work without all the things i had used in the past to try to make my nose work somewhat like i thought it should. With a TRUE heppa filter it does. I read it makes a difference if the purifierit is " heppa like" or "TRUE heppa". Heppa-like is a waste of money. i write all this because a previous review helped me so much. KATZ helped too. I right away wanted to make sure I never ran out of the filters I need to make this continue to work. KATZ was listed in my honeywell TRUE air purifier as the place to get air filters on-line. So i ordered replacement filters the same month i bought my air purifier. On the online form i accidently entered the order twice i did not want that. I emailed Katz and they canceled the 2nd order without any disagreement. They have a "service"that will automatically notify me when i need to get new filters, so i have them before they need changing.. I never want to go back to my stuffy nose the way it was before i started this TRUE heppa air purifier, so that service is a big relief to me. there was a discount for ordering 2 filter, so i orderd 2 of each. But I wouldn't need the 2nd heppa filter for 2 years. My order came with 4 of the order reducers but ony 1 of the True heppa filters. That again was very easy to handle with KATZ through email. I wrote just adjust what has been charged to my credit card, I am okay with what i recieved, I'll be ordering more in the future, i just don't want to be charged for what i haven't recieved. They did me one better than what i asked, the next day i recieved the 2nd heppa air filter i had ordered and they told me to just keep the 4th oder reducing filter ,without charge,that i had not orderded. I will be using KATZ online for all my filters in the future and i'm thinking about getting a 2nd air purifier, which i will get from KATz online also. I adore my honeywerll TRUE Heppa air purifier but i will give it more time running(maybe a year to see if any unexpected issues crop up with it) before i get a 2nd one, but i look forward to having a 2nd or larger one in the future. I highly recommend KATZ as a vendor, they acted incredibly ethical with me. It goes without saying that everything shipped and was recieved on-time & in good condition. But all the rest happened that Katz dealt with very well from this customers point of view. What we needed, finally.These filters were hard to find, but once we found them, they are exactly what we needed. We suffer from allergies around here and these really help with that. HEPA filtercertainty of correct part, value pricing, internet convience make for a pleasant experience usefuluseful filterusefuluseful filtergreatI was kept advised of arrival of product and was exactly what I wanted. Great service. Honeywell Hepa Filters- Type H really last!Honeywell Type H Hepa Filters really live up to the claim printed on the box- they do last for 12 months, sometimes even longer! My Honeywell air purifier stays on all day, every day... and I have 3 indoor cats in a 2 bedroom apartment! From the time I purchased the air purifier (with 2 Type H Hepa filters included) to the time the 'new Hepa filter needed' indicator light came on, about 14 months had elapsed! Highly recommended!!! Works Great!This HEPA filter has made a big difference in the air quality inside my house. The filters actually last for a whole year as advertised. The value pack of two filters in one package also saved me some money. I would definiely reccomend using Honewell air filter and purification products for home use. Honeywell hepa filterIt works very well. My nighttime sleep is much better than before. What A Difference!Since using my new air purifier with the HEPA filters I purchases fromKaz.com, both my husband and I sleep so much better at night. We purchased a second one for the playroom where my grandchildren spend lots of time. I would suggest everyone to try it in their own homes. Filters for Honeywell air purifierThe Kaz filters fit perfectly and help greatly in purifying the air. My daughter suffers from an allergy to dust mites. Your products have made her life easier. Mercedes Ferrari Air FiltersThe products I ordered from your company were shipped right away. Your web site is user friendly and I never had a problem with any of the products. Breathing = AwesomenessI love my Honeywell Air Purifier 150 and just changed out my old filters for new. The new filters are fantastic, I love them and totally recommend the Purifier and the filters. Breathing clean air is priceless. Honeywell HRF-H2 True HEPA FilterI love this air purifier and the filters seem to keep out the cat dander and dust and city impurities. This is a good filter and I also use the pre-filter. I am satisfied with Honeywell and also Kaz as I use your vaporizors in the winter filtersThey arrived quickly and professionally packed. They slipped right into my units perfectly and I could "hear" the difference when I turned the units back on. What can I say? I got exactly what I ordered and am very satisfied. Does a great job!I bought the two pack Hepas at my local Sam's Club. I have been buying these replacement filters for it for just over a year now! |

Artist Statement: Currency is based on material that had a previous life as money passed from person to person, hand to hand, pocket to pocket. In such fleeting exchanges came its value, as permanent only as the government that created it. Inevitably, though, worth fluctuates, and in such shifts comes the chance to reform money into something that finds circulation and currency of another kind.

"We have encouraged MSHA to be aggressive in dealing with this issue, and we believe this initiative meets that goal," said Phil Smith, a spokesman for the United Mine Workers union.
In 1969, Congress required coal operators to provide all miners with an emergency device that would provide them at least one hour of breathable air to help them escape in the event of an underground fire or explosion.
The SR-100 model uses a chemical process to generate oxygen, based in part on a reaction with carbon dioxide being exhaled by its user. Miners are supposed to start the unit by exhaling into it.
Over the years, coal miners had expressed complaints about SCSRs not starting or appearing to start slowly. Government and industry officials generally dismissed those complaints, saying the real problem was that miners didn't understand how to use the units properly.
After Sago, McCloy testified that the SR-100s of four of the 12 miners trapped by the Jan. 2, 2006, explosion wouldn't start.
MSHA dismissed McCloy's complaints. "Some of the miners had trouble donning their SCSRs and breathing through them," the MSHA investigation report on Sago said. "However, testing indicated that the units produced oxygen as intended."
Later, lawmakers in West Virginia and then Washington also ordered companies to add extra breathing devices to be stored in key locations underground. They took no action about the SR-100 concerns described by McCloy.
Separate reports by mine safety expert Davitt McAteer and the UMW's safety department recommended much tougher scrutiny of the SR-100 and the speedy development of better and more reliable SCSRs that were also easier to use.
Under federal regulations, MSHA and NIOSH jointly certify the devices as complying with government standards, and the agencies have an agreement through which they are jointly charged with dealing with any problems that come up later when devices are in use.
In 2010, MSHA and NIOSH launched a joint investigation of problems that were eventually traced to the oxygen cylinders used in the initial start-up of the SR-100 devices. Initially, CSE said it had instituted a "recall" of the troubled units, but later conceded it had not actually ordered coal companies to stop using the devices.
In lawsuits after the Sago disaster, families of the miners were investigating concerns that the SR-100 cylinders, made by a vendor for CSE, somehow leaked, leaving the units without enough oxygen to start properly. Those suits were settled, and the terms were kept confidential.

Cavaliers Beat Boston College for Third Straight Win
Posted: 1:41 PM Jan 26, 2013
The Virginia men's basketball team used a big second half to overcome a two point halftime deficit and beat Boston College 65-51 on Saturday.
Freshman Justin Anderson scored a career-high 16 points, and junior Akil Mitchell also had 16 points in the Cavaliers' third straight win.
UVa shot 77.3% from the floor in the second half, which is a season high and the best shooting percentage for UVa in a half since1984.
The Cavaliers' leading scorer this season, Joe Harris, had just seven points for Virginia, but Anderson hit 7 of 9 shots and Mitchell was 6-for-10 and added six rebounds.
The win moves Virginia to 14-5 overall and 4-2 in the ACC. Next up, they host the 18th-ranked North Carolina State Wolfpack Tuesday at 7 p.m.

By Ben Kieffer and Sarah Boden
The crisis in Syria has been in the headlines for weeks, but the roots of the two-year-long conflict can be traced back decades.

These extensions will help me with spark plug changes. When the non locking extension will pull out of the spark plug socket when it sticks to the spark plug. I wish the were made in the USA.

This seems like a wonderful concept for spark plug instalation. I bought this because I was tired of everytime I pull the extention off, the sock would stay attached to the plug. Well, it will still do it with this. Though, this is a tad bit stronger than your normal extention. The key secret is to no install the plug all the way into the socket. Insert the plug into the sprak plug socket, but not deep enough for the hex part of the plug to touch the socket. You can spin the pulg into the hole enough to start the treads, then pull the extention AND the socket out of the hole. Then, you need to switch to a normal sized socket, not the rubber pluged spark plug socket, to finish the installation and get the proper torque. It was a nice try Craftsman, but you only get two stars for trying. Maybe a stranger spring inside, or a snap type locking mechanizim would work better.

This extension set is exactly what I needed, I like the release button at the tip and you just can not beat the warranty!

You need a set of these- even if you think you don't. Once you get them you'll toss them in your box and forget about them. The day will come when you have to stack a couple of extensions and their worth will become evident. Tired of pulling your plug socket off with a pair of pliers? You need the 3 piece 3/8 inch Drive Quick Release Extension Bar Set. There are some that are concerned about the use of plastic in the construction of this item and the possibility of dirt, grime and grease having an ill effect on the release of the socket. Based on my experience it has not created a problem or been a concern.

I spend a great deal of my spare time in the garage. Together with my son, Nathan (age 27) we buy and restore 1980 era Porsches. Nathan is the real mechanic in the family. I pretty much offer moral support and fetch tools. Most people would tell you that these import cars are a nightmare to work on. We haven't found that to be the case. The mechanical design of these high-performance vehicles is pretty straight-forward. That is a hallmark of the German craftsman and engineers that have developed them. It is true, however that these engineers are extremely efficient with their use of space under the hood. Large engine, small chassis and very light-weight create an environment that is sometime complicated to work in. We have learned that the best way to deal with this challenge is to own a complete collection socket accessories. Through the use of various extension bars, adapters and universal joints we can replicate the wrench configuration that was originally used to assemble the vehicle. Craftsman calls these tools accessories! I don't think that's right! The term accessary, to me, implies that it is a "nice extra" but not really necessary. Take it from me, if you are going to perform much mechanical work on a 1983 Porsche 944, a complete set of socket accessories is NOT optional.

A must have, great set of the money

I bought the extension set from a local sears outlet and was disapointed on the first use. I attempted to use the extesion set to change spark plugs when I got debris in the quick release mechanism. The mechanism jammed and would not hold a socket in place. It was a chore to clean the mechanism of debris and considering that the use of the extension set would involve more than spark plug removal I decided to return the set after one day of frustrated use. I bought a simple extension set that did not have the quick release feature, and I am happier due to fewer jams. I prefer a hand tool I can use under difficult conditions with minimal maintenance and is still capable of functioning at it's orginial capacity, which does not apply to this set.

These are nice extensions, but the locking feature does not work nearly as well as others do. I have snap-on and matco locking extensions that work much better then these, but those costs about 5 times more money. So for the price, there pretty good.

These locking extensions solve a problem that I struggled with for over 20 years in replacing spark plugs -- having the spark plug socket come off of the extension deep inside the engine while trying to install spark plugs. I'd have to get out pliers and try and grab the socket and release it from the plug. These extensions make the job much easier. The Sears store by me sells these individually as well as in sets of three, but having the set allows you to be ready for whichever length you need. Note - I found out one of my old spark plug sockets did not have enough of a dimple where the 3/8 drive fits in, so it did not lock on. My other plug sockets did have the dimple, and worked well.

Sacred Buddhist painting"Sacred Buddhist Painting is a lucid and readable account of thangka painting - a form of scroll painting integral to Tibetan Buddhist worship. Tibetans were often advised by their religious preceptors to commission a painting for the 'removal' of physical or mental obstacles, or to create the prerequisites for 'a long and healthy life'. Like any other virtuous deed, the commissioning of religious art was believed to earn merit. This book has thangkas from renowned private and public collections the world over and from the collection of H.H. the Dalai Lama's private chapel (Namgyal Monastery), and from his collection donated to the Library of Works and Archives in Dharmasala, India."--Roli Books. |

"good for a short stay"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
The hotel is located pretty close to Jaco beach. But their is a big hotel being constructed just next door and they start work at 6 am and till 5 pm. THERE IS THEREFORE A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION CREW AND NOISE. We informed the hotel, and they were sympathetic, but could not do anything about it. Most nights you can hear the traffic from the road as well as this is off main street. Rooms are spacious with hot water, a/c, wi-fi, but no soap, cutlery or glasses or cups. The best thing of the hotel was that they let you make free calls to US and Canada. The room phone was not working so we had to go to the main reception area for making calls. The main reception closes at 10 pm. convenient location,, clean with a pool and good for a short stay. BUT VERY VERY NOISY. the construction will go on till december 2013.
"Excellent Excellent Everyone beyond Excellent"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 31, 2013
Once you plan your trip to Jaco, make sure to buy a good gift for Kattia and louis. Buy atleast 100 dollar gift otherwise you will regret. These people will make you feel that you are at home. I travelled lot to South America and Latin America. I never seen host like Katia and Louis. Once you stay in Copacabana hotel you will never going to stay anywhere else in the area. All the staff is so caring and go extra mile to make sure that you are happy and enjoying the stay. I will definitely go back. Hotel is excellent with the beautiful sunset view. REMEMBER buy a decent good expensive gift for Kattia and Louis. Please dont forget. Thank you.
"good times..."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 28, 2013
enjoyed my stay at the poseidon...great food and close to the bars and beach...
"Cute little place"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 25, 2013
I enjoyed our stay at La Palmera very much. It has a great pool area, the breakfast was always hot and tasty, and the staff was friendly. It was within walking distance to downtown Jaco and the beach there, and I would absolutely recommend it for those that plan to be out and about.
"2nd time here"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 26, 2012
It was good. They have a really nice breakfast. The hotel is well kept for an older hotel. Always clean and orderly. Walk to Jaco and the beaches easily. We have stayed here before and liked it.
"Beautiful Bahia Encantada"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 26, 2012
Unit A-3 is a great location in this complex. The roof top balcony has beautiful views of sunsets, beaches and mountains! This property was in the north end of Jaco, but you can easily walk to many stores and restaurants. Clarita's bar next door is a little loud some nights, but if you like the bar scene and night life it's a very short walk. I would have rated it a 5 if Clarita's wasn't so loud.
"Great place right on the beach"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 20, 2012
We stayed in a 2bdrm apt on the beach and it was beautiful The room was huge and the patio opened to the beach. It was the last hotel on the beach so it's quieter. The staff was very helpful too
""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 17, 2012
Everything was good for the price. The only thing I didn't like was the exsessive noise for the casino next door.
"Private oasis"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 3, 2012
Docelunas is set just outside of Jaco but has the feeling of being at a private resort in the middle of the rainforest. It is a beautiful setting, very secure and has everything you need. I walked to Jaco each day which took about 20 minutes each way, even though I had a rental car. You could also take a taxi for a couple of dollars if you do not like to walk and do not have transportation. Jaco is a noisy beach town with a lot of activity and I had fun there but liked being able to get away when I wanted to relax. The food at Docelunas is excellent, they have a great bar area, and the pool is huge and warm. It has free WiFi and everything is priced very reasonably. Even the minibar was inexpensive! If you want a secluded resort, close to everything, that does not nickle and dime you to death once you arrive, Docelunas is the place.

Longtime Delta County resident Robert "Bud" Bowie died July 23, 2013, after a short illness. He was 92.
Mr. Bowie was born Aug. 20, 1920, to William and Martha Bowie and spent his childhood in Bowie. After graduating from Paonia High School, he attended the Colorado School of Mines and played on the 1939 undefeated football team. He graduated from Mines in 1942 and enlisted in the U.S. Army the next day. He served in the Army Corps of Engineers from 1942 to 1946, primarily in Trinidad and Tobago off the coast of South America.
He married Mercedes "Sadie" Knight in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1946.
After being discharged from the Army he returned home for a brief period before taking a job with Union Pacific Coal Company in Rock Springs, Wyo. In 1954, Mr. Bowie returned to the area as the general manager of the Juanita Coal and Coke Company's King Mine in Bowie and remained in that position until its closing in 1975. From 1975-1985, Mr. Bowie was a consulting engineer with a brief stint as general manager of the Cameo Mine in Palisade. He retired in 1985 to his home in Hotchkiss.
Mr. Bowie was an avid reader and enjoyed traveling, fishing, hiking and drives up the valley. He was a member of the American Legion and the Colorado School of Mines Alumni Association.
He is survived by one sister, Katherine Stokes of Sun City, Ariz.; and 10 nieces and nephews, Jayne Ruth and Robert Wilson, James and Brian Abshire, Bill, Kit and Bruce Bowie, and Donald, Tom and Susan Stokes.

A new lean DVD focusing on the accounting end of business that can change the dynamics of any organization.
Lake Oswego, OR (PRWEB) February 20, 2014
A business that is just starting out or a long-term business that has made the decision to go lean will appreciate learning the principles of lean accounting. Creative Safety Supply is now offering a DVD in Lean Accounting that will demonstrate how accounting personnel can affect changes and improvements in an organization. The DVD starts out explaining the concepts of lean and JIT (Just in Time) and moves on to showing examples of work experiences as told by Norman Bodek, an auditor and accountant for Productivity Press.
As a company implements lean principles into their structure, the financial statements will often show a temporary hit to the bottom line as deferred labor and overhead move from the inventory account on the balance sheet to the expense portion of the income statement; thereby, lowering profits. The DVD will explain the basics of lean manufacturing and why CPAs may need to use alternative accounting practices to help business owners and management better understand the benefits the process brings to their operations.
A business owner commented, "As a business owner and in charge of the financials, I found this DVD to be very helpful."
The DVD is meant to be a spark for setting a new culture of change within the company. The training tool will teach both instructor and the audience about lean and how it can be used to make improvements in how a company works.
Some features about the DVD are:

"I learned — from a first-person point of view — the massive power of teaching, both the effect on the student and the effect on me," said actor-singer-songwriter Nick Blaemire following his return from The Performing Arts Project's second annual summer intensive, held on the campus of Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC. "[The students would] do something, and I'd realize, 'Oh my God, I do that as an actor, so I have to watch you now and make sure you put your objective at the forefront of your mind, because I forget that, too.' I get caught up in trying to 'be good' and trying to 'do stuff right,' but [TPAP artistic director] Jonathan [Bernstein]'s emphasis on process [is] about de-mystifying this art and trying to be a human."
Blaemire, a performer in Broadway's Godspell and Cry-Baby and the composer of Glory Days, is among the faculty at The Performing Arts Project, now entering its third year and gearing up for its annual auditions (held in January and February 2014), where roughly 1,000 high school and college-aged performers tryout for 100 spots in the yearly summer program.
In the audition room — aside from a one-minute monologue and a song — students are asked to prepare original material such as a movement piece, rap, painting, haiku, speech, impression, instrumental performance, original song or monologue.
Gavin Creel, Tony-nominated for his performances in Hair and Thoroughly Modern Millie, believes that TPAP "engages the performer in a way that other programs don't. It deals with — and teaches — technique building and appreciation for the art form, and, through direct example in the professionals working with the students, shows how a trust and belief in creating honest, spiritually connected work is the only way to become a great artist."

Boeing 747-8 for a VIP Customer to be Fitted Out by Lufthansa Technik
Installation of the interior for the latest version of the Jumbo will entail maximum 18 months of work at the Hamburg Completion Center.
Lufthansa Technik's Completion Center is the first in the world to have signed a contract for the completion of a Boeing 747-8 for a VIP customer. The customer, whose identity has not been disclosed, signed a memorandum of understanding with Lufthansa Technik at the beginning of November. Installation of the interior for the latest version of the Jumbo will entail maximum 18 months of work at the Hamburg Completion Center. It was only this September, at the NBAA Convention, that Lufthansa Technik announced its Completion Centre was ready to handle the Boeing 747-8.
"Our accumulated decades of experience at fitting out Boeing 747 aircraft is the most convincing argument in favor of Lufthansa Technik. Our experience of this type encompasses no fewer than 15 completions and major modifications; no other provider in the world comes even close to that figure. This makes us the first choice for the 747-8," said August Wilhelm Henningsen, Chairman of Lufthansa Technik, during the press conference at the Dubai Airshow. "The 747-8 is 5.6 meters longer and, as a result, offers almost 50 square meters of extra floorspace compared to a 747-400. This opens up new possibilities for us. We look forward to the challenges which Boeing's new flagship presents, and we will implement our customer's wishes to Lufthansa Technik's expected high standards."
Lufthansa Technik's success story, which spans several decades, is based on first-class engineering using industry-leading methods, the commitment to quality and transparent project management. From customer-specific floorplans to certification, onboard systems and installations, the German Completion Center is constantly driven by the search for outstanding technical solutions.

I'm Too High For This: Space-Time Invisibility Cloak Could Hide ENTIRE EVENTS From View
According to a couple physicists who should lay off the ganja and drink more beer and buy me a round while they're at it, a space-time invisibility cloak could be developed that would allow a user to hide entire events from the eyes and cameras of onlookers. Haha -- I've batting my peen around like a helicopter but you can't see! "Um, yes we can." Oh shi-shi, daddy needs some new batteries.
Unlike invisibility cloaks--some of which have been made to work at very small scales--the event cloak would do more than bend light around an object.
Instead this cloak would use special materials filled with metallic arrays designed to adjust the speed of light passing through.In theory, the cloak would slow down light coming into the robbery scene while the safecracker is at work. When the robbery is complete, the process would be reversed, with the slowed light now racing to catch back up.
Steve Cummer, a cloaking specialist at Duke University, calls the concept "interesting and exciting," but he thinks that actually making such a cloak would be "really, really challenging."
"Dammit GW, tell me you did not just post this because dude's name is Steve Cummer." *snickering* Of coooooooourse I didn't -- invisibility cloaks have Geekologie written all over them! Also: my tits in scars I carved with a pen-knife. I'm obsessive!

Monitor Audio i-docks
iPod speaker docks are getting to be a major product category, and although audiophile-oriented manufacturers have initially dismissed them as belonging strictly to the realm of mid-fi (or worse), serious audio manufacturers like B&W and Arcam have introduced products in this category, so perhaps it can't be ignored any longer. Monitor Audio has now joined the fray, with the i-dock 200 ($600) and i-dock 100 ($500). They look like serious efforts, too, with high-resolution DACs, multiple drivers driven by a 50Wpc and a 25Wpc amplifier, respectively, and room correction using built-in test tones. Both sounded good, but I was particularly taken with the larger i-dock 200. If I were in the market for this kind of product, the Monitor Audio i-dock 200 and i-dock 100 would be at the top of my list to check out.

This is a story about refusing to answer the question. How about six times! Politicians and Public Relations folks are famous for not answering or simply avoiding reporter questions. But you would expect more when you are talking to the boss at Blackberry while trying to push his newest product.
Blackberry boss Stephen Bates repeatedly refused to answer questions about the similarity between the companies new Z10 and the iPhone during a bizarre radio interview in which he ignored repeated requests to address the issue.
Mr Bates was asked: 'What have you learned from Apple?' six times during a Radio interview, but each time refused to address the question before the interviewer gave up, saying 'you're clearly not answering'.
Many experts say the device actually borrows from several operating systems, not just Apple. Now technology experts are suggesting Apple could sue if it sees a drop in sales as a result of people switching to the Z10 or choosing a BlackBerry instead of an iPhone.

- Bob Vila TV Shows >
- Craftsman Bungalow > Episode 11: Installing Cabinets
Installing a China Cabinet
Cabinetmaker Brian Comeaux demonstrates how he framed the boxes for the new built-ins that are being installed in the living room to match the existing ones in the dining room. The pool crew is out back in their sponge shoes, finishing up the pool with a coat of plaster, before the trucks arrive to fill'er up.
- Part 1: Custom-Building a Cabinet
- Part 2: Installing a China Cabinet
- The newly built china cabinet is installed. The unit was constructed in several peices, so it would fit through the front door. Several final cuts and adjustments are made to fit the cabinet around the existing trim.
- Part 3: Plastering the Swimming Pool
Bob Vila oversees the remodel of a Craftsman bungalow in Los Angeles, CA. It's a vintage kit house, purchased from a Sears & Roebuck catalog in 1923 and built in Hollywood. Working with contractors, Bob helps restore the home's thoughtful details while adding improvements fit for the owners' modern lifestyle.
Also from Craftsman Bungalow
Episode 1 - Project Introduction
Bob meets Gavin and Michelle Langley, the happy new homeowners of a vintage Sears kit house. They have lots of plans for preserving both the historic and sentimental values of the house. We also meet Cortney Lofton and crew, who are busy pouring footings for the new back porch (designed by Gavin). Up on the roof, a new product from Australia called Hardislate is being applied. -
Episode 2 - Wiring, Plumbing, and Plastering
The electricians are snaking new wiring into the kitchen, and the plumber is roughing in for the addition of a real 'water closet'.

 Mike Casas is making quick work of the plaster on the new cathedral ceiling, where new drywall must be married to the old lath and plaster.

 Out on the front porch, the contractor removes an existing column without damaging it, or the overhang it supports. -
Episode 3 - Reconditioning the Windows
Bob observes the reconditioning of the original Sears kit house windows. Then, he takes a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House, which is just over the hill in Hollywood. On the back porch, the contractors are disguising the steel supports for the roof by sleeving them into wooden columns. -

Indian airports have claimed international law must take a back seat to local courts in a fight with foreign aircraft leasing firms over the future of grounded Kingfisher Airlines jets, according to government minutes seen by Reuters.The stance taken by Mumbai and Delhi airports could further complicate the leasing firms' attempts to recover jets supplied to Kingfisher, as other creditors also try to recoup some of the USD$2.5 billion of debt left when the airline, set up by drinks baron Vijay Mallya, halted flights in October.That in turn could affect leasing firms' willingness to deal with Indian airlines in future, or at least make financing for local carriers more expensive, aviation analysts said.Aircraft leasing firms are at the heart of the USD$100 billion-a-year passenger jet industry. Their role has grown dramatically as cash-pinched airlines try to contain their capital spending, and experts say lessors now account for about 40 percent of the modern airline fleet.An international treaty aimed at making it attractive for leasing firms to invest offers lessors similar rights to repossess unpaid jets as in the United States.The treaty, the Cape Town Convention, is a key part of efforts to harmonise trade with developing countries that now dominate demand for Airbus and Boeing planes.However, efforts by foreign lessors to repossess over a dozen Airbus jets parked at airports around India have been hampered by disputes over competing claims and confusion over the power of international agreements to trump local courts.Both lessors and airports are owed money by Kingfisher, along with staff, tax authorities and other creditors. Lessors say the jets do not belong to Kingfisher and can't be touched.At the March 26 meeting attended by airport officials, as well as government and tax authorities, it was agreed that jets already de-registered by India must be released, according to minutes of the gathering held at the aviation ministry."The concerned airport operators shall release all the de-registered aircraft to the respective owners/lessors immediately so that these aircraft can fly out of the country," the document said.Despite this, lessors led by US-based ILFC have so far said most of the jets leased to Kingfisher remain stranded.The chairman of Airports Authority of India, V.P. Agrawal, sought to defuse the row by announcing after the meeting that India is bound by international convention to let the planes go.However, representatives of Mumbai and Delhi airports argued inside the talks that Indian laws prevailed over international laws, which meant they could not ignore a "stay" or freeze order from the Delhi High Court, according to the minutes.Officials at the airports could not be reached for comment. ILFC declined to comment.Bertrand Grabowski, a member of the board of managing directors at Germany's DVB, a leading transport lender, said it was not clear that the international treaty would be upheld."Some of us, including DVB, are still sceptical that the Cape Town Convention will completely change the situation in India because courts tend to read the law so that Indian law prevails," he said. "We will need a few more months to evaluate carefully the situation."REGULATOR BACKINGArun Mishra, India's Director General of Civil Aviation, pledged to help ensure that aircraft financing in India was not disrupted."The government of India is fully committed to protecting the interest of the lessors so that the leasing business is not hampered in India," Mishra said.Mishra said the regulator had recently de-registered 19 of Kingfisher's red-liveried jets, once famed for lavish but costly onboard service, and a total of 53 since 2009.According to the minutes, however, airports convinced regulators at the March 26 meeting to consult them before de-registering any further Kingfisher jets. Two applications to de-register planes are still pending, according to the document.Asked about the move, Mishra said it would not introduce any new conditions for de-registering the planes."It is not a regular thing; just that we need to be aware of all the facts. There are court cases going on between the lessors and airport operators. But we are not a party to these, so we are unaware of the facts," he said.When Hungary's Malev went bankrupt last year, much of its fleet turned up overnight in Ireland, a traditional hub for air finance, after lessors quickly snapped up their planes.The aviation industry argues that access to competitive finance relies in part on making rapid repossessions possible.

Math-Intensive Reports with GNU Emacs and Calc, Part 1
Calc is an elisp package originally written by Dave Gillespie. Lately, however, many others have contributed to its development in the classical manner: hackers working over the Internet. Once it has been downloaded and installed in your local emacsen directory (the place where elisp add-on packages live) and a few lines have been added to your .emacs configuration file, Calc becomes an invisible math miracle worker. In any Emacs buffers you choose, you can slip quickly and silently into and out of Calc mode (any of several such modes, really) with a simple keystroke or two.
Let's do a simple calculation of a right triangle. If the two short legs are denoted a and b, where (say)
$ a := 3.1 $
$ b := 4.1 $
then the length of the hypotenuse is
$ c := sqrt(a^2 + b^2) => 5.14003891036 $.
I didn't have to get my calculator out to do this. I did it right inside Emacs. Furthermore, this file is live. That means in order to update the calculation for an arbitrary right triangle, all I have to do is is change the values assigned to a, b or both, position the cursor inside the first formula and type M-# e (M for Meta, the Alt key on most PCs; the keystroke sequence therefore is Alt-# e, which is Alt-Shift-3 e). The Calc package loads up, and the value of c is immediately updated.
Now that I have the variables a, b and c defined, I can use their values over and over:
$ a + b + c => 12.3400389104 $ (the perimeter) $ a^2 + b^2 - c^2 => 0. $ (a check on the calculation)
I am going to provide you with a short and incomplete survey of Emacs' ability to perform mathematical and numerical evaluations like my examples, right in the editing buffer, by means of Calc.
I do not intend to explain in detail how to download, install or use Emacs (although the Resources section gives some pointers). Nor do I intend to waste words disparaging other editors (such as vi), nor browbeat their users about the superiority of Emacs. And I won't go into any real detail on how to start up the Calc package, nor will I delve deeply into the keystroke sequences needed to cause Calc to perform its magic. All that stuff is documented elsewhere; you simply need to make your decision to learn Emacs. What I am going to show you are some astounding (and generally unknown) capabilities of Emacs for performing mathematical analysis, courtesy of Calc.
To have the capability to write live ASCII math documents, you and your computer must have a few required pieces:
An environment that is capable of running Emacs;
Emacs itself, installed and configured to your taste;
The calc.el math plug-in (I suppose we could call it that) installed in your local emacsen directory; and
Some practice using Emacs.
Emacs is basically a UNIX program, but it has been written carefully so it may be ported to other operating systems. Versions are available for almost every computing platform in existence: all known Unices and UNIX workalikes (such as Linux and BSD); all versions of Windows since Windows 95; UNIX-like environments, such as the Cygwin tools, that run under Windows; and various other platforms and operating systems as well.
If you run UNIX or Linux, Emacs is probably already available on your system; type emacs at the command prompt and see if it pops up. If it doesn't, it is a simple download away; see the Resources.
If you are a Windows user, you will need to download and install the Windows version of Emacs, called NTEmacs. It is a standard Windows-style self-installing executable. If you are using the Cygwin tools under Windows, be aware that NTEmacs doesn't build under that UNIX-like package but does work well with it.
Next, you need the Calc package, known by the filename calc.el. Download and install it (see Resources), and you can then turn on the calculator any time you are editing by using the M-# keyboard command.
Here is another example, one that is somewhat close to home for me. I am going to calculate some cross-sectional area properties for a beam. Let's say the beam's cross section is rectangular, of height "height" and width "width". (Of course, I have obtained all the dimensional information from the preliminary engineering drawings.) I merely type the following Calc assignments into my editing buffer (that is to say, directly into the window that shows the article I am writing now):
$ height := 0.65 in $ $ width := 0.25 in $
(I am including units here; the dimensions are in inches.) Then I can start Calc and perform the following calculations. First, I need the cross sectional area of the beam. I enter
$ area := width height => $
Then I type M-# u, u for update, and I immediately see the ab ve line change to this:
$ area := width height => 0.1625 in^2 $
The answer, complete with derived units, pops up on my editing screen, to the right of the => symbol.
Later on, I'll need to use these results to calculate bending stresses. To do that, I first have to calculate the moment of inertia (MI) of the cross section. Without getting into the details, the moment of inertia is an important geometric property of a beam. (The following formula is correct only for a rectangular cross section.)
$ MI := width height^3 / 12. => 5.72135416667e-3 in^4 $
For many purposes, the section modulus Z is a more useful number. For this simple rectangular cross section, it is equal to the moment of inertia divided by half the section height:
$ Z := 2. MI / height => 0.0176041666666 in^3 $
I did this example in about one minute, entirely inside my editor's screen buffer. And I did not have to use any other program to perform these calculations---only Emacs and Calc, working smoothly together.
A few explanations are in order to help you read this and the following examples:
I am using the embedded mode of Calc, which evaluates the formulas in the buffer where they are written. (Other modes of operation are available that show you a calculator pop-up screen or a stack. I won't be using those modes because they are not so useful for reports.)
Formulas are bracketed by dollar signs to facilitate recognition by Calc (other syntactical conventions are also supported).
Multiplication is indicated by adjacency of the factors ("width height" is width times height). Whitespace must separate the factors.
=> is the evaluates-to operator; in embedded mode, the value of the expression on its left is inserted on its right.
:= is an assignment operator. The variable on its left receives the value on its right, and that variable can be used in future calculations.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

A Framework to Evaluate Proposals for Scientific Activities in Wilderness - January 2010 (2.1 MB)
PUBLICATION ABSTRACT Every year, the four federal agencies charged with wilderness management—the Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, and U.S. Forest Service—receive hundreds of proposals to conduct scientific studies within wilderness. There is no consistent and comprehensive framework for evaluating such proposals that accounts for the unique legal requirements of conducting such work inside wilderness, specifically the primary mandate of the 1964 Wilderness Act to "preserve wilderness character." This mandate demands that the standard for approving scientific activities be higher inside wilderness than in other areas.
This evaluation framework provides an approach for thinking through and documenting how proposals for scientific activities in wilderness may be evaluated in these wilderness management agencies based on four sequential filters: (1) Initial Review Filter, (2) Quality of Proposal Filter, (3) Legal and Policy Filter, and (4) Impacts and Benefits Filter. By using this framework, managers and scientists alike know up-front how proposals will be evaluated, fostering better communication. This framework aims to reduce conflict, help make defensible decisions, and document how those decisions are made. Our goals in developing this framework are to increase the relevance of science to improving wilderness stewardship and to bring the benefits of wilderness to society while preserving wilderness character.
BLM Enters the Wilderness Arena
With passage of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), Congress directed the BLM to inventory, study, and recommend public lands under its jurisdiction for wilderness designation. In 1991, the BLM issued a Record of Decision that included wilderness recommendations for WSAs throughout the state of Colorado.
On October 21, 1999, legislation creating the 17,700-acre Gunnison Gorge Wilderness Area was signed into law. The wilderness area forms the core of the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area. Located nine miles northeast of Montrose, the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness offers a wild and pristine backcountry experience. A unique double canyon system of black granite and red sandstone layers carved by the Gunnison River, the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness lies just downstream from Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Gunnison Gorge is one of only five BLM-administered wilderness areas in Colorado and is managed to preserve and protect its wilderness, scenic, and recreational values. To learn more about this special area, visit the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area webpage.
At 66,280 acres, the recently designated (in 2009) Dominguez Canyon Wilderness is the largest BLM roadless area in the state of Colorado. The area displays an array of ecosystems, ranging from upper Sonoran piñon-juniper desert along the Gunnison River, up to ponderosa pine, aspen and Douglas fir forest. Dominguez consists of two major canyon systems, Big Dominguez and Little Dominguez. The canyons drain the northeastern corner of the Uncompahgre Plateau. Little Dominguez is the longer of the two at approximately twelve miles in length. It joins the larger Big Dominguez canyon a little over a mile before their confluence with the Gunnison River.
The Dominguez Canyon Wilderness possesses outstanding geological features, spectacular scenery, ecological diversity, two cascading mountain streams and opportunities for solitude and primitive unconfined recreation. The terrain is characterized by large mesas dissected by deep red slick-rock canyons and arroyos. The area provides valuable wildlife habitat for desert bighorn sheep, deer, elk, mountain lions, black bear, wild turkeys, and chukars. For more information, link to the BLM Grand Junction Field Office Dominguez Canyon webpage and/or link to the Dominguez Canyon Wilderness Study Area brochure. (2.1 MB Pdf file includes map - NOTE: This brochure is currently being updated to reflect recent designation as a Wilderness Area)
The Colorado Wilderness Act of 1993 designated land surrounding Tabeguache Creek as one of a number of special "Areas" in Colorado. Under the terms of the Act, the BLM and U.S. Forest Service are directed by Congress to manage the Tabeguache Area to protect its wilderness values.
The Tabeguache Area (17,240 acres) is located on the south slopes of the Uncompahgre Plateau about four miles north of Nucla, Colorado. The central feature of the Tabeguache Area is the 400-800 foot deep canyon carved by Tabeguache Creek. Elevations range from 5,600 feet to 8,800 feet, with pinon-juniper woodland the predominant vegetation at lower elevations and ponderosa pine and oakbrush predominant at higher elevations. Cottonwoods, willows, scattered ponderosa pine, and various shrubs form a riparian zone along Tabeguache Creek. Recreational opportunities include hiking, backpacking, horseback riding, fishing, and wildlife viewing.
The Federal Land Management and Policy Act of 1976 directed the BLM to inventory its lands for wilderness characteristics and report its findings to the President by October 21, 1991. As a result of that mandate, the BLM identified wilderness study areas (WSA) that met certain wilderness characteristics. These WSAs are managed to preserve their wilderness values until Congress makes a decision to either designate the areas as wilderness or to release the areas for non-wilderness management.
The 10,402-mile Camel Back WSA is located on the north slopes of the Uncompahgre Plateau and is contiguous to the Roubideau Area managed by the U.S. Forest Service. With elevations ranging from 5,400 feet to 7,000 feet, the WSA is characterized by a series of steep canyons and extensive mesas. Mesa tops and canyon slopes are predominantly pinon-juniper woodland and sagebrush, while the canyons are characterized by riparian vegetation consisting of cottonwoods, willows, skunkbush, and in the upper reaches, Douglas fir and ponderosa pine. Recreational opportunities include hiking, backpacking, horseback riding, fishing, and wildlife viewing. (0 acres recommended for wilderness; 10,402 acres recommended for non-wilderness).
The Adobe Badlands WSA (10,425 acres) is located approximately three miles northwest of Delta at elevations ranging from 5,200 feet to 8,000 feet. The WSA is characterized by abrupt sloping hills of Mancos Shale dissected by rugged serpentine canyons. Vegetation is relatively sparse and is characterized by low saltbush with some pinon-juniper woodland at the highest elevations. Very little recreational use occurs in the WSA although adjacent adobe badlands are extensively used by off-road vehicles.
(0 acreage recommended for wilderness; 10,425 acres recommended for non-wilderness).
FLPMA directed the BLM to identify and study for wilderness characteristics, those areas formally identified as natural or primitive areas prior to November 1, 1975.

Garth Brooks is being sued by a former employee for fraud.
According to TMZ, TV producer Lisa Sanderson, who worked for Garth for 20 years trying to get him into movie and TV projects, claims that he killed deals with big studios such as Disney and Fox by making ridiculous demands. She says Garth turned down many roles, including a part in Saving Private Ryan, because he wanted to be the star.
Sanderson is suing Garth for $425,000 for unpaid bonuses, salary and punitive damages.
