PostgreSQL is a robust relational database system with over 25 years of active development that runs on all major operating systems. It is fully ACID compliant, and has full support for foreign keys, joins, views, triggers, and stored procedures (in multiple languages). It includes most SQL92 and SQL99 data types, including INTEGER, NUMERIC, BOOLEAN, CHAR, VARCHAR, DATE, INTERVAL, and TIMESTAMP. It also supports storage of binary large objects, including pictures, sounds, or video. It has native programming interfaces for C/C++, Java, .Net, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, and ODBC, among others, and exceptional documentation.
fio is an I/O tool meant to be used both for benchmark and stress/hardware verification. It has support for 19 different types of I/O engines (sync, mmap, libaio, posixaio, SG v3, splice, null, network, syslet, guasi, solarisaio, and more), I/O priorities (for newer Linux kernels), rate I/O, forked or threaded jobs, and much more. It can work on block devices as well as files. fio accepts job descriptions in a simple-to-understand text format. Several example job files are included. fio displays all sorts of I/O performance information, including complete IO latencies and percentiles. Fio is in wide use in many places, for both benchmarking, QA, and verification purposes. It supports Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS X, OpenSolaris, AIX, HP-UX, Android, and Windows.
MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). Merging of 2 or more log files is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the log files (through regular expressions) for faster recognition of what is important. It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch'.
Berkeley DB (libdb) is a programmatic toolkit that provides embedded database support for both traditional and client/server applications. It includes b+tree, queue, extended linear hashing, fixed, and variable-length record access methods, transactions, locking, logging, shared memory caching, database recovery, and replication for highly available systems. DB supports C, C++, C#, Java, PHP, and Perl APIs. It supports key-value pair (NoSQL), SQL, and Java Object formatted data. It is available for a wide variety of Unix platforms as well as QNX, Android, Mac OS X, and several varieties of Windows.
rsync is a replacement for rcp (and scp) that has many more features. It uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.
OTRS is a platform independent Web-based help desk system that supports service organization of any kind (e.g. IT service, customer and technical product service, complaint management, public services, etc.) to increase their efficiency. It increases transparency as well as service quality and lowers your total cost of ownership. It has been certified ITIL V3 compatible by PinkVERIFY for incident, problem, change, service asset and configuration, request fulfillment, and knowledge management. Other ITIL processes like service catalog and service level management are supported as well.
PHP Content Management System (phpCMS) makes it possible to need only one template for your whole Web site. It allows you to provide dynamic menus with unlimited levels, and use templates and sub-templates without a database. It is search engine-friendly and proxy-friendly, as the pages it generates can not be distinguished from static HTML pages. PHP code can be added to any template and content file with an optional module. It supports the caching of parsed pages and gzip compression.
white_dune is a graphical VRML97/X3DV editor, simple NURBS/Superformula 3D modeller, animation tool, and VRML97/X3DV commandline compiler in development. VRML97 (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is the ISO standard for displaying 3D data over the Web via browser plugins ("HTML for realtime 3D"). X3DV is the direct successor of VRML97. VRML97 and X3DV have support for animation, real-time interaction, and multimedia (images, movies, and sounds). white_dune can read, create, and display VRML97/X3DV files and let the user change the scenegraph/fields. It also has support for stereoscopic view via "quadbuffer"-capable stereo visuals, and support for 3D input devices like a joystick, spaceball, or magnetic tracker.

"Tavon is like my big brother," McManus said. "In my freshman year, he was a senior [at Dunbar High]. When I went into the weight room, he showed me the ropes. He said I could be something special.
"I'm hoping he'll put me under his wing [in Morgantown] like he did at Dunbar. I hope he'll show me the ropes. I'll use that to my advantage."
McManus is unabashedly proud of his relationship with Austin.
"I talk to him all the time," said the signee. "He was here [in Baltimore] a couple days ago. I call when I need him."
McManus, who also played basketball but stopped after his sophomore year, might one day have another former Dunbar teammate around. WVU has already offered the Poets' quarterback, William Crest, a scholarship as an athlete in the 2014 class.
It will take time to see how that deal unfolds. But for McManus, the process was swift. He had offers from most of the nation's most highly acclaimed schools, including, he said, Big 12 kingpin Texas, but took no official visits.
"Ever since I went [to Morgantown], I knew," McManus said. "I went there for a 7-on-7 camp and committed last summer."
Was he even tempted to check out the other schools?
"I was tempted," he said. "I didn't close any doors. But I knew in my mind where I wanted to go."
McManus, by the way, is confident he's not only headed to WVU, but in good academic standing.
"I just got my report card [Thursday]," he said. "Got all B's. I'm definitely good to go. I needed 10 points on my SAT and should get that back in a week or two."
And if there are no stiff breezes, expect McManus to fly like the wind at WVU.
"I'm a physical playmaker," said the receiver. "I will just be an animal on the field. I'm a playmaker - for real."

City snow removal
Omaha snow removal crews are "planning for the worst," said Scott McIntyre, the city's street maintenance engineer.
"This really has the potential to be a pretty significant snowfall," McIntyre said. "It's going to be a difficult snow operation to stay on top of."
Officials are keeping a close eye on the forecast. They plan to announce this morning whether Omaha will formally declare a snow emergency.
Omaha trucks will begin applying brine — salt water often mixed with a sugar beet derivative — late tonight through early Thursday, McIntyre said, then work to keep main streets as clear as possible when the snow arrives.
"I would anticipate residentials on Thursday and a good part of Friday are going to be pretty slow going," McIntyre said.
Omaha will deploy about 200 vehicles to clear the streets, he said, about half supplied by private contractors.
In Council Bluffs, crews will begin pre-treating major routes this morning. By this afternoon, all available trucks will have plows installed for the work ahead. The city has 16 trucks and four graders, plus several snowblowers and Bobcats in its snow-battling arsenal. — Juan Perez Jr.
Omaha parking rules
If city officials declare a snow emergency, here are the emergency parking rules:
The rules apply east of 72nd Street.
If it's an even-numbered day, park on the side of the street with even-numbered addresses. That's the north or west side.
If it's an odd-numbered day, park on the side of the street with odd-numbered addresses. That's the south or east side.
"No parking" signs with arrows must still be obeyed. But if the sign says "No Parking This Side This Block,'' you can park there if you're following the even/odd rules.
Handicapped parking spaces may not be used by any vehicle when parking is prohibited.
Plowing Interstate highways
Will Interstates in Iowa and Nebraska close?
Roads officials in Nebraska and Iowa say it depends on a number of factors. Snowfall amount is only one. Others include wind, visibility, whether it is safe for road crews to plow and whether there is a crash of some kind blocking the road.
How do officials close the Interstates?
Roads departments generally notify the public through the news media, their websites and electronic signs.
If gates are available, they close them. But if a gate is not available, crews may block the road with a snowplow or some other vehicle.
There are far more gates in Nebraska than there are in western Iowa.
"We have at least 100 closure gates on I-80 west of Lincoln," said Mary Jo Oie, spokeswoman for the Nebraska Department of Roads.
In western Iowa, there is a set of gates to block the northbound lanes of I-29 at Missouri Valley and another for the southbound lanes in the Sioux City area.
What are road crews doing to get ready?
Transportation officials in both states have been monitoring the weather, getting trucks ready, filling tanks with gas, making sure the lights are working and so on.
Iowa has 901 snowplows statewide and 11 active large snowblowers that are used when snow is so deep that plows can't handle it. Nebraska has 600 snowplows and 25 large snowblowers, officials said. — Andrew J. Nelson
To check road conditions
Call 511 or 1-800-288-1047 for Iowa and 1-800-906-9069 for Nebraska.
Lincoln seeks snow-shoveling volunteers
Lincoln has issued a call for more Snow Angels — volunteers to shovel snow for those who are unable to clear their sidewalks and driveways.
Individuals or organization wishing to volunteer for the program may sign up online at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: snow).
People who need help with shoveling can find nearby volunteers by checking online or by calling the Snow Center 402-441-7644 during regular business hours. Those needing assistance are asked to wait until after the snowfall is over to call the Snow Center for assistance.
Aging Partners also has a program to provide snow removal for low-income senior citizens. For more information, visit aging.lincoln.ne.gov (click on "housing") or call 402-441-7030.

A wedding cake is a crowning finale to a momentous wedding day. Couples spend hundreds of dollars on tiered confectionary creations, which provide great photo opportunities and even better desserts.
Though a wedding cake is a traditional component of wedding celebrations, professional bakers may charge anywhere from $2 to $6 per guest for the average cake. That could mean spending upwards of $900 for a cake to feed 150 guests.
There are many reasons why cakes may be so expensive. For instance, the equipment used to bake cakes does not come cheaply. Ingredients, such as butter, high-quality flours, chocolate, real vanilla, and others tend to have high price tags. Furthermore, the time that goes into baking and then intricately decorating the cake adds up to quite a bit of labor. For couples who prefer not to spend too much on a cake, there are ways to save money and still savor a delicious dessert.
■ Ask a local bakery or restaurant if the pastry chef will create your wedding cake. Oftentimes, bakers who do not specialize in wedding cakes will make a cake at a much lower cost than bakeries known for their wedding cakes. If you adore a dessert at a particular restaurant, ask to have it duplicated.
■ Commission an amateur baker, such as a friend or family member, to make your cake. There are many budding cake artists out there, several of which have the cursory skills to create a delicious and aesthetically appealing cake. Friends or family members may even make the cake for little or no cost.
■ Keep decorations and flavors to a minimum. The more embellishments and designs you put on the cake, the more expensive it will be. Stick to the basics, and the cake won't cost as much.
■ Look into culinary schools in your area. A student pastry chef may be able to produce a cake for you at a fraction of the cost of what an established baker may charge. This saves you money and the student can use your cake as part of his or her portfolio.
■ Skip the tiered cake. Tiered cakes require careful stacking and engineering. Also, if the tiers themselves are made of crystal or another expensive material, it could inflate the cost of the cake. Choose a lower-profile cake to save money.
■ Serve guests from a sheet cake. Some couples opt to have a dummy cake on display or just a small cake for cutting purposes, and then have waitstaff serve from a simple sheet cake. Guests rarely recognize the difference.
■ Shop at a warehouse center. Warehouse centers often have an in-store bakery capable of producing cakes for large crowds. These cakes can be delicious and inexpensive. As long as you don't advertise where you bought the cake, there's a good chance no one will be able to detect a discounted cake.
■ Choose ready-made cakes and stack them yourself. Find a bakery near you that keeps a constant supply of specialty cakes in their display cases. Purchase two to three cakes of the same variety and find cake pedestals from a party or craft store. Embellish the tiers with a few fresh flowers and you have a tiered cake for a minimal cost.

VISITORSSwiftair MD82 EC-JUF (53168 ex B-28015, N802NK) made its first visit this morning in an all white scheme & using a Small Planet A/L callsign. It had been leased to the United Nations for operations in Uganda & the Sudan.Making their second visits were Air Europa B738 EC-LPQ & Gulfstream 200 EC-KRN. FLEET NEWS Aer Lingus A320 EI-DET (2810) was noted at Shannon yesterday in full Brussels A/L scheme awaiting delivery.ROUTE NEWS Air China is now expected to operate a B773 to Gatwick in place of an A332 on 25/7, 13/8, 22/8 & 10/9 (one more date than previously posted). It will also operate a second A332 flight on 14/8.MISCELLANEOUS ITEMSYesterday's Comet feature generated some welcome feedback. Firstly, Ian Hiles, who was lucky enough to be on the flight, reminds me that the last ever commercial passenger carrying flight of a Comet took place on 09/11/80, when Dan-Air's G-BDIW left Gatwick as DA8894 & performed overshoots or low passes at LHR, Brize Norton & Lyneham prior to landing back at Gatwick. G-BDIW survives as part of the excellent collection at Hermeskeil, Germany. Paul Smith has kindly dug back through his logs from his days working for the BAA at Gatwick & adds a date of 30/04/71 for G-AYVS. In addition, his log also shows Comet 4 XV814 (6407) of the RAE Bedford on 11/07/72, though it is not clear whether this landed or just performed overshoots (unfortunately, the relevant copy of Hawkeye fails to cast light on this as it went unrecorded). It has been a while since I have felt the need to comment on another bizarre idea from my favourite eccentric, Michael O'Leary, who seems to have been overdoing it again with the Liffey Water or something rather stronger. This latest one involves a proposal that his aircraft will still fly with fee-paying passengers even if all the toilets are out of order. Apparently, announcements would be made at the departure gate warning passengers to go in the terminal & apologising for any inconvenience caused. Thank goodness I don't need to rely on Ryanair to take me where (& when) I want to go.Due tomorrow:A7-AFE A313 etd 13.10 as QAF008A7-MED A319CJ eta 14.20 as QAF010 (third visit)B-LNL A332 eta 05.47 as CRK875 (second visit)G-GMAB HS125 etd 07.15 as GMA671I-SEAE DA2000 eta 08.10 (second visit) Regulars - HVN145/VN-A150, UAE15/A6-EGRNAX flights - 10G/NGB (second visit) 12J/NGA, 32A/NOQ, 34G/DYH, 36C/KKL, 38W/DYE, 51M/NOF, 55Q/DYA, 4441/DYK, 5818/NORCREDITSIan Hiles, Ian Gawtrey, Paul Smith, Chris Mellon, Mark Howard, Les Wallis, Neil Judd, Simon Shoubridge, Mr Anon, Jethro, Skyliner, ATDB, Robin Williams & anybody else that I have forgotten.Happy spotting!

Regret no idea why it was here. It arrived the day before & sister ship EC-JNX is due tomorrow. Air Nostrum CRJ2s were regular visitors to Gatwick during the period 1998 to 2006
John thank you very much for the info. I am also very disappointed at the level of visitors for the Olympics though I do hope we will still have some surprises on the way! Looking forward to seeing the Ukrainian IL-62 later.

Taste - Tons of rum. Apple fruits. Brown sugar. Oaky.
Mouthfeel - Heavy and boozy from the rum. Medium carbonation.

8oz pour on draft at the Brewery
A: very dark brown almost black with some purplish hues when held to light. 1/2 fingers width of light tan head that dissipates almost immediately and leaves no lacing but some alcohol legs
S: licorice, dark fruits, tons of rum aromas, toffee; smells like an old ale more than anything Belgian but that doesn't take away from the fact that the aroma is fantastic
T: darks fruits, malty, chocolate, rum, lots of sweetness. The rum presence is huge, maybe even a bit too much for me but I'm not a big rum fan. A bit of booze adds nicely to the profile.
M/D: Full bodied, chewy, low carbonation. ABV is noticeable but not hot at all. Drinkability is very good.
O: Overall, wow, what a beer. Fantastic.

First public pour from the brewery on release day? It was an honor :)
A - Pours a muddied rich brown, when held to the light the color is easily penetrated at the surface. Less than a half finger of light mocha colored head with moderate retention and no lacing to speak of (not uncommon for the style).
S - Easily one of the greatest smelling beers I've ever stuck my nose into. Literally, I got some in my nose it was so delightful. Tons of dark fruits (raisin and prunes) and rich vanilla aromas. There also seemed to be an incredibly subtle hint of smokiness as well. Mild alcohol aroma. The dark fruits, alcohol and sweet vanilla characteristics are perfectly balanced. A definite 5 in my opinion.
T - Lots of sweet boozy (mildly spiced) rum, vanilla and cocoa up front. After the initial sweetrush, the raisin and prunes combine with cocoa like flavors giving the beer a very sweet rich delicious flavor. The finish/aftertaste is more sweet vanilla and mildly boozy rum.
M - Fairly full bodied but not as heavy on the tongue as I had expected. Minimal carbonation makes for an incredibly rich, smooth drink. The flavor makes it a sipper more than the body.
O - Damn near the perfect sipper in my opinion, I could not really point out a legitimate flaw if I had to. Dark fruits, sweet vanilla/chocolate and boozy rum combine wonderfully. I imagine this to be somewhat reminiscent of what a really well done Rum Bois would taste like.
Serving type: on-tap

95 Vandura 3500 6.5l/4spd auto
I have a short bus that is now the party wagon. It is a 1995 Vandura 3500 with the 6.5l diesel and i think it is the 4l80e 4 speed automatic. About two weeks ago the 6.5 took its leave. It now has a huumw 6.5l with a 12 volt pump and tps on it. The difficulty is that the shift points are a bit different. I was wondering if anyone knew the factory setting method for the tps. Its on the side of the injection pump and operates on the throttle shaft. I know I can do the reset and drive method to get it close but there has to be a setting procedure. If anyone has the GM method let me know please. I do not have a manual set for this truck. Thanks in advance! Andrew

Brangwyn's War: Posters of the First World War
- 17 May 2014 — 18 January 2015
Frank Brangwyn was one of the most prolific artists of the First World War, designing more than 80 posters. These were inspired by his memories and photographs of the Belgian and French landscapes and also fuelled by his personal response to the invasion of Belgium, his country of birth.
This exhibition presents a collection of his works produced during The Great War, including drawings, prints and lithographs. Often shocking and violent in their content, Brangwyn's posters focused initially on recruitment and war loans before going on to portray concerns for wounded soldiers and orphaned children.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Among the companies whose shares are expected to see active trade in Thursday's session are Ford Motor Co., Microsoft Corp., and Amazon.com Inc.
Ford /quotes/zigman/264304/delayed/quotes/nls/f F -0.32% is projected to report third-quarter earnings of 38 cents a share, according to a consensus survey by Thomson Reuters.
Investors are expected to focus on management's comments on timing of recovery in the E.U., said analysts at Stifel Nicolaus. "September EU sales rose year-on-year, and we note that continued stabilization appears to be buoyed by Germany and the U.K. sales in recent months," James Albertine said in a report.
Microsoft /quotes/zigman/20493/delayed/quotes/nls/msft MSFT -0.66% is forecast to post earnings of 54 cents a share in the first quarter. "Until there are signs that MSFT can innovate and successfully execute in the post-PC era, we expect the stock to languish at current levels. In our view, it's too early to determine whether MSFT's Surface tablets and other form factors from its [original equipment manufacturers] can more than offset continued declining trends in the PC market," Yun Kim, an analyst at Janney Capital Markets, said in a note published Tuesday.
Video brings city doctors to villages
In China, video is helping to connect city doctors with their country counterparts to deliver better care. The WSJ's Diana Jou looks at smart ambulances.
Amazon /quotes/zigman/63011/delayed/quotes/nls/amzn AMZN -0.03% is expected to post a loss of 10 cents a share in the third quarter. "We remain neutral as we have little confidence in [Amazon's] desire to provide investors with a strategy road map. We are not convinced it will share sufficient details about spending plans to allow us to accurately model profit growth, and it could be a long time before EPS grows sufficiently to justify its share price," Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush, said in a report.
3M Co. /quotes/zigman/302497/delayed/quotes/nls/mmm MMM +0.02% is likely to report third-quarter earnings of $1.75 a share.
AutoNation Inc. /quotes/zigman/182017/delayed/quotes/nls/an AN +0.73% is forecast to post earnings of 77 cents a share in the third quarter.
Boston Scientific Corp. /quotes/zigman/220154/delayed/quotes/nls/bsx BSX +1.11% is projected to report third-quarter earnings of 9 cents a share.
Colgate-Palmolive Co. /quotes/zigman/222734/delayed/quotes/nls/cl CL +0.17% is expected to post third-quarter earnings of 73 cents a share.
Dow Chemical Co. /quotes/zigman/224698/delayed/quotes/nls/dow DOW -0.54% is likely to report earnings of 54 cents a share in the third quarter.
Dunkin' Brands Group Inc. /quotes/zigman/5986556/delayed/quotes/nls/dnkn DNKN +1.42% is forecast to post third-quarter earnings of 43 cents a share.
Hershey Co. /quotes/zigman/229230/delayed/quotes/nls/hsy HSY -0.37% is projected to post earnings of $1.01 a share in the third quarter.
Lazard Ltd. /quotes/zigman/364148/delayed/quotes/nls/laz LAZ -0.67% is likely to report earnings of 36 cents a share in the third quarter.
McKesson Corp. /quotes/zigman/247413/delayed/quotes/nls/mck MCK -0.10% is expected to report second-quarter earnings of $2.04 a share.

Auscultation is the method of listening to the sounds of the body during a physical examination.
Auscultation is usually done using a tool called a stethoscope. Health care providers routinely listen to a patient's lungs, heart, and intestines to evaluate the frequency, intensity, duration, number, and quality of sounds.
Health care providers also use auscultation to listen to the heart sounds of unborn infants. This can be performed with a stethoscope or with sound waves (called Doppler ultrasound). It can also be used to hear pulses in the hands and feet.

HURRICANE, W.Va. - Hurricane couldn't be flying higher.
The top-seeded Redskins scored the first 20 points in soaring past third-seeded Nitro 75-45 Friday night in the Class AAA Region 4 Section 1 championship game. A crowd of about 600 attended at Hurricane High School.
Hurricane (19-5), No. 10 in the final Associated Press poll, will host Logan in the Region 4 co-finals at 7 p.m. Tuesday while Nitro (11-13), which upset second-seeded Winfield in the sectional semifinals, visits Huntington.
Huntington defeated Logan 49-36 in the Region 4 Section 2 title game Friday. The region co-finals winners advance to the state tournament March 13-16 at the Charleston Civic Center.
Redskins junior post Henry Sorsaia netted a game-high 26 points, including 12 of the team's first 20, and secured 13 rebounds with two blocks.
Hurricane only missed one shot in taking a 20-0 lead with 2:22 left in the opening quarter and was 10 of 14 during the first period in forging ahead 24-2, with 18 of the points coming on layups.
"We got a lot of easy buckets in the first half,'' said Sorsaia, who made 11 of 12 shots on layups or putbacks and scored all his points before halftime.
"We were running the floor getting layups, shots kept falling and it kept building our confidence. We always look to start off like that. It might be me one night, it might be [Trey] Dawson or it could be Rasaan [Harris]. Whoever is hot knows when to shoot.''
Hurricane tallied the first nine points of the second quarter in building a 33-2 advantage with 5:40 to go before the break and held a 49-17 edge at intermission. Sorsaia turned in stretches where he tallied eight straight points in the first quarter and nine in a row in the second.

BTW, Gimp is installed under PF, not "Program Files" on my system. I have blacked out my login name, yours should be there by the default install.
-Rob A>
Okay, so I used IDLE to edit the gurm.py file, and Notepad to edit gurm.ini.
The third line of the py file reads:
GURMINI = "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\gurm.ini"
which references the folder that both the gurm py and ini files are located in.
The ini file has lines written up like the following:
gimpPath = C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\brushes
userPath = C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\brushes
which is the default brush folder for GIMP on my install. The other gurm managers reference the default folders of their respective resources in the same manner.
Try this ..Go to Edit Preferences.. Plugins... make sure you have TWO sets of folders ,one pointing to your program files folder and the other pointing to your user folder. Move the gurm.py file to the one that is in your user folder. Should be something like "C:\Users\USERNAME\.gimp-2.6\plug-ins"
I have had some problems getting plugins and scripts to work in the install folder. Second....installing user stuff (brushes, etc) to your install folder is generally bad juju...now, if you uninstall GIMP to install a new version, all your added in stuff is gone....
Hmm. Bad juju you say? That sounds somewhat less than ideal...
Good suggestions, though. So far I haven't had a problem with the brushes I've installed in the brush folder disappearing through all the uninstalls/installs... but I can definitely see the possibility of it happening. Luckily I've got them all stored in my downloads folder as well.
Anyway... once again, I'll be on this as soon as I get home and get a chance to fiddle on my personal laptop.
That is why I did mine the way I did.
userPath - defines the folder that GURM will look it to build its list, using each subfolder within that one as one check box.Quote:
gimpPath = C:\Local Documents\Gimp Resources\Gimp Patterns\ACTIVE_DIR
userPath = C:\Local Documents\Gimp Resources\Gimp Patterns\INSTALL_DIR
gimpPath - defines where the plugin will copy to/delete from when a folder is toggled in GURM.
I added my specified gimpPath(s) to my gimp preferences, SEPARATE from the default "documents and settings/user/.gimp/..." paths. This means that if I create a new pattern (using paste to pattern) or gradient or brush, the go in my "/documents and settings/user/.gimp/whatever/" directory, and stay separate from the resources GURM is moving in and out.

Hm.... Interesting.
So basically, if I follow right, what GURM is doing (which I haven't had a chance to see in action yet) is making certain folders of resources - brushes, patterns, etc. - visible or invisible to GIMP without having to restart GIMP each time... keeping the various tool palettes clean and easy to scroll through to find the resource you need. Is that about right?
And I guess this only really works if you store the resources in an outside folder. That makes sense.

Television franchises[edit]
Romper Room was a rare case of a series being franchised and syndicated, so local affiliates—Los Angeles and New York were prime examples—could produce their own versions of the show instead of airing the national telecast. For some time local shows all over the world used the same script but with local children. Kids would be on waiting lists for years (sometimes before birth) to be on the show. It was called "an actual kindergarten". Originally filmed in Baltimore, Romper Room eventually moved its broadcast facilities to Chicago, then moved back to Baltimore in 1981. River West Brands[1] is the current owner of the Romper Room trademark and intends to re-launch the brand.[not in citation given]
A typical episode[edit]
Each program would open with a greeting from the hostess and the Pledge of Allegiance. Then the hostess and her group of children would embark on 30 or 60 minutes of games, exercises, songs and moral lessons, which were regularly accompanied by background music. The young cast was rotated every two months and ranged from four to five years old.
Romper Room tried to teach its young charges to be polite. For instance, the hostesses were always addressed as "Miss". Many of the hostesses had prior experience in working with small children, as many were former kindergarten teachers.
The hostess would also serve milk and cookies to the children, with prayer offered before eating. The famous Romper Room prayer went "God is great, God is good. Let us thank him for our food. Amen."
A recurring character was Mr. Do-Bee, an oversized bumblebee who came to teach the children proper deportment; he was noted for always starting his sentence with "Do Bee", as in the imperative "Do be"; for example, "Do Bee good boys and girls for your parents!" There was also a "Mr. Don't Bee" to show children exactly what they should not do. Do-Bee balloons were also manufactured. Each balloon featured a painted sketch of Do-Bee on it. When the balloons were inflated and then released, they would fly around the room slowly emitting a buzzing sound. These balloons were made available for purchase to the public.[2]
The show used the then-popular Mattel Jack-in-the-box for its opening and closing titles, with its traditional nursery rhyme "Pop Goes the Weasel" theme song. Starting in 1981, a new, original theme song was used.
At the end of each broadcast, the hostess would look through a "magic mirror" – actually an open hoop with a handle, the size and shape of a hand mirror – recite the rhyme, "Romper, bomper, stomper boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me, do. Magic Mirror, tell me today, have all my friends had fun at play?" She would then name the children she saw in "televisionland", saying, for example, "I can see Kathleen and Owen and Julie and Jimmy and Kelly and Tommy and Bobby and Jennifer and Martin" and so on. Kids were encouraged to mail in their names, which would be read on the air – first names only.
Romper Room and Friends[edit]
In 1981, the format of Romper Room was overhauled and re-titled Romper Room and Friends. 100 syndicated versions were taped in Baltimore with "Miss Molly" as host. The biggest change to the program was the introduction of a series of new puppet characters, including a full costume character named Kimble, and puppets, Granny Cat and Up-Up. Kimble and UpUp were performed by Bruce Edward Hall and Granny Cat by Molly McCloskey aka "Miss Molly". The three characters were developed by The Great Jones Studios in NYC. The new characters starred in a series of vignettes, somewhat similar to the "Neighborhood of Make-Believe" segments on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and were meant to introduce or reinforce simple moral lessons. About 100 of these skits — each running three to five minutes — were produced for insertion into local Romper Room programs; the host would introduce each segment and comment after its conclusion.
In addition, a new opening and closing credits sequence, and lyrical theme – "Romper Room and Friends", containing mostly non-sensical lyrics, but also naming the characters Up-Up, Do Bee, Granny Cat, and Kimble in the lyrics as well – were used, replacing the "Pop Goes the Weasel" theme that had been used.
"Miss Nancy" Terrell, was the hostess in the 1960s and early 1970s when Romper Room was seen on ABC-owned and operated stations throughout the United States in locales that did not have their own hostesses.
The first Romper Room hostess was Nancy Claster, who helped produce the series with her husband under the Claster Television banner. Miss Nancy hosted the show, produced at the studios of WBAL-TV in Baltimore, Maryland, from the first episode in 1953 until 1963, when she was replaced by her daughter Sally Claster Gelbard. Miss Sally hosted the show, in Baltimore and the surrounding area, until 1981 when it was retitled.
Miss Jean (real name Jean Harrington) hosted the Boston area Romper Room (which aired on WHDH and its successor WCVB) for fourteen years. She was an English major and Education minor and a graduate of Salem State College, in Salem, Massachusetts. A Swampscott native, she was a former high school teacher. Her husband at that time was WHDH news reporter Bill Harrington.[3] The show aired with Miss Jean from 1958-1972. She was replaced in March 1972 by "Miss Louise" (Louise Lark, a 23 year old school-teacher and a graduate of Boston University).[4] She and Bill Harrington divorced, and she ultimately moved to Florida.
Romper Room debuted on WGN, Chicago in 1954, and ran until 1960. From 1961 to 1962, a nationally syndicated version aired. The local Romper Room returned from 1963 to 1975. Three of the Chicago hostesses were "Miss Rosemary" Rapp, "Miss Beverly" Marston-Braun and "Miss Elizabeth" Trench. When holding up the Magic Mirror, Miss Beverly would say "Romper, bomper, stomper, boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me do. Magic mirror, tell me today. Did all my friends have fun at play?"
Cleveland hostess "Miss Barbara" Plummer hosted the local version of Romper Room on WEWS from 1958 until 1971. She died on March 20, 2010, at the age of 80 from pneumonia-related complications.
"Miss Genie" deLuise hosted the Denver area Romper Room between 1962 and 1972 on KWGN-TV (which was KCTO at the time). Denver's Miss Genie deLuise was also the Romper Room hostess in Phoenix from fall of 1957 to March 1959.[5]
Quad Cities, Iowa/Illinois[edit]
Quad Cities hostess "Miss Peggy" Wittke hosted the local version of Romper Room on WQAD-TV from the late '70s and into the '80s.
The Hawaiian version of Romper Room debuted in 1964 on KTRG (now KHNL) with "Miss Robin" (Robin Mann), but after the station canceled the program in 1966, the show and its host moved over to KHON where it ran until 1972, when KHON replaced it with Today. Mann later admitted that despite the success of Romper Room in Honolulu, she felt that there wasn't any Hawaiian influence or culture being emphasized into the series during its run. In 1974 KHON bought Mann back for a series called "Robin's Room", which incorporated the Hawaiian culture but had the Romper Room elements, which ran until 1976.
Johnstown, Pennsylvania[edit]
A version of the program aired on WJAC-TV out of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, was originally hosted and taught by "Miss Jean," Jean Federici of Pittsburgh. A music education graduate of Indiana State Teacher's College in Indiana, Pa - now Indiana University of Pennsylvania, she hosted the program from 1958 to 1960. "Miss Patti" Patti Hewitt was the hostess from October 1960 through December 1973. She was an elementary major and graduated from Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania. Miss Patti was replaced with "Miss Mary" Mary Parks until the end of its run about 1976. Mary remained with channel 6 for until 1990 as an anchor, reporter and public affairs reporter. She left WJAC in 1990 to become Sister Mary of the Sisters of St Joseph.

A local version of the program in Lexington, Kentucky, was hosted by "Miss Roni," Roni Martin Scott, from 1974 until 1976 on WTVQ-TV.
Los Angeles[edit]
In Los Angeles, Romper Room aired on KCOP-TV. There were only two hosts of the Los Angeles version of the series: "Miss Mary Ann" and "Miss Soco". The second host of the program was Socorro Serrano, aka "Miss Soco", who hosted from 1977 until it ended in 1989 and was the first Latina of Mexican American heritage to host Romper Room. Miss Soco is still fondly remembered by Angelenos in their late 20s and 30s.
Little Rock, Arkansas[edit]
One hostess would later find some measure of success in music. Margaret Jones, who hosted the Little Rock show as "Miss Peggy" between 1963 and 1966, went on to sing and to play tabla and keyboards for a locally popular psychedelic rock band called Campbell's Lavender Circus (or sometimes simply Lavender Circus). The sextet sold 2,000 copies statewide of their single, "I Have No Time for Time"/"Mr. N. Bourbaki's Multicoloured Jam."

Minneapolis-St. Paul[edit]
The show aired on WTCN channel 11 (1955-65?) and later KMSP channel 9 (1965?-74) hosted by Mary Betty Douglass among others. [1] [2]
New Orleans[edit]
Virginia Sherwood Carino, a former broadcaster and ABC News White House correspondent best known in New Orleans for the role that began her career – as Miss Ginny on WWL-TV's "Romper Room" – died Oct. 7. She was 87.
Mrs. Carino suffered complications from Alzheimer's disease, her family said. Her husband was former WWL-TV general manager Larry Carino, who came to WWL in 1958 as sales manager.
Mrs. Carino's career included a stint at ABC News, as one of the network's first female correspondents, covering the White House during the Nixon and Ford administrations. Later, she became a communications coach and consultant, helping TV reporters and hosts, political candidates and corporate executives enhance their communication skills.
As "Miss Ginny," Mrs. Carino presided over the Romper Room schoolhouse, welcoming six preschool-aged children to the studio for games, exercise and lessons in everything from math and reading to table manners – particularly how "Do Bees" acted. "Do Bee good boys and girls for your parents," was an example, illustrated by a large bumblebee hand puppet and on signs posted in the school room studio.
Each show began with a Jack-in-the box opening title, to the theme of "Pop Goes the Weasel," and closed with the hostess looking into her Magic Mirror. Miss Ginny, and her counterparts across the country, would recite the still-familiar line, "Romper, bomper, stomper boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me, do. Magic Mirror, tell me today, have all my friends had fun at play?" She would then name the children she saw in "television land," who had mailed in their names and were part of the at-home audience.
Mrs. Carino hosted various other shows and appeared in commercials on the station before leaving in 1967. She was a graduate of Stanford University, where she majored in theater.
In addition to her husband, Mrs. Carino is survived by a daughter, 8 stepchildren, 28 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren.
A memorial service was held in Sun Lakes, Arizona. Memorial donations may be made to the Mayo Clinic for Alzheimer's Research or the Alzheimer's Association.[6]
But she is best known in the city where she began her TV career and spent nearly 10 years teaching children to be "Do Bees" and not "Don't Bees," on Channel 4's "Romper Room." Each weekday the station aired a local edition of the nationally syndicated show which licensed local versions in TV markets across the country. A later New Orleans version was hosted by actress Linda Mintz.
Linda Barnett Mintz, is a New Orleans' born child actress of radio and stage. She already possessed local celebrity upon being selected to be New Orleans' next "Romper Room" teacher. She appeared on the "MIss Muffin Show" with Terry Flettrich and PBS's "Let's Tell a Story," which was a collaborative effort between the National Council of Jewish Women, New Orleans Section; WDSU-TV; the New Orleans Public Library; and New Orleans schools. These programs encouraged reading and literacy. Linda Mintz was well recognized for her voice-over work on many radio and television commercials. She was a wonderful character actress in local theaters and national television movies. She has performed on every stage in New Orleans as a mistress of ceremonies, songstress, lead in musical theatre, and dramatic actress. She is best known for her portrayal as Amanda Wingfield, in Tennessee Williams' "Glass Menagerie," and Desiree in Stephen Sondheim/Hugh Wheeler's "A Little NIght Music." Her loyal work with PBS has been a constant. She wrote and produced "Dark Secrets" about Russian composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, as well as a series of poetry shows. She recently released a grammy nominated CD for spoken word, a romantic poetry collection "Soft Words, Warm Nights." Mrs. Mintz graduated with a BA and MA in theatre from Tulane University. She is a loyal board member of Tulane's Summer Lyric Theatre at Tulane University.
Linda Mintz is married to Albert Mintz, a prominent New Orleans corporate attorney. She has two adult children and two adult grandchildren. Miss Linda is still an active participant in the New Orleans' community and continues to appear on television and radio. Although a studied actress, singer, and poet—with heart, depth and range—she remains the beloved last Miss Linda of New Orleans.
New York City[edit]
In New York City, the first hostess was "Miss Gloria" Flood on WABC-TV for the years 1955-57. "Miss Joan" Thayer became the new hostess when it moved to WNEW-TV (now WNYW) in 1957. "Miss Louise" Redfield took over hosting duties at the same time the program moved over to WOR-TV (now WWOR-TV) in 1966. From 1966 to 1971, in the New York City market, Romper Room aired at 11 a.m. In 1971 it moved up to 10 a.m. in order not to conflict with PBS's 9 a.m. airing of Sesame Street. "Miss Louise" was followed by "Miss Mary Ann" Pedersen, who began filling in for Louise in the early 1970s.
After Louise Redfield left in 1975, Mary Ann Pederson took over the show until 1981. In 1981, the station took the Baltimore-based Romper Room and Friends offered in syndication by Claster Television with new host "Miss Molly" McCloskey, which gave the program nationwide carriage even in markets in was not available on a broadcast station because it was on WOR's superstaion feed. Miss Molly gained a great deal of popularity with viewers and is still fondly remembered today. WOR-TV continued to produce the show, moving it to 9 a.m. in the fall of 1981 and then back to 10 a.m. a month later, due to complaints that it was interfering with the airing of PBS's Sesame Street. The show was aired "live" until 1985. Children who were on the show for a week were on a waiting list for three to four years. It would remain in that time slot until the summer of 1985 when it was pushed up to 8:30 am. A few months after WOR-TV was sold and renamed WWOR, Romper Room was reduced to 30 minutes and moved to 6 a.m. in September 1987. Production in the New York area was discontinued a year later. While many local versions ended in the late 1980s and early 1990s (and some ended in the early-to-mid 1980s), nationally syndicated episodes of Romper Room and Friends with "Miss Molly" stopped airing in 1994.
Another early Romper Room hostess was Claire Coleman, who was the original "Miss Claire" at the Romper Room debut in Philadelphia in 1954. Miss Claire hosted the show at WFIL (now WPVI-TV) from 1954 until 1956. During this time she shared an office with Dick Clark from American Bandstand. Claire Coleman is married to former U.S. Senator Richard Schweiker.
WTAE's version ran from 1958 to 1976, although they also carried the national version on Saturday mornings in its later years. "Miss Jan" Bohna was the local teacher for the WTAE version.
Puerto Rico[edit]
In Puerto Rico, the show was hosted by Bertita Novoa and later, by Sandra Zaiter.
Oakland/San Francisco[edit]
Miss Nancy Besst hosted the San Francisco version on KTVU from 1958 to 1969.
From 1981 - 1987, the San Francisco Bay Area featured another version of Romper Room which was televised live from Oakland, California on the local affiliate KTVU. This version featured "Miss Mary Ann" however her real name was Ruby Unger, a Mill Valley resident. During that time, there were several other teachers who lead the bay area's version of Romper Room.
Stand up comic Johnny Corn was said to be one of the small children in one episode.
In Rochester, New York, where the show was carried on the newly founded WOKR, now WHAM-TV, it was hosted from 1962-1967 by "Miss Rita," Rita Barton, who later founded an innovative child-care facility and is still active today, nearly 50 years after her debut on the program. The role was later taken on by "Miss Karen" for a later portion of the program's run in the 1960s and early 1970s.
Salt Lake City, Utah[edit]
Miss Julie, the unflappable mistress of KSL's owned by Bonneville International "Romper Room, played by Edna Anderson-Taylor, she Miss Julie for countless Generation-Xers across Utah, from 1964 thru 1981. Some 6,100 children would come to appear on the program, Anderson-Taylor has been quoted saying that the program gives "a big boost to a child's self-esteem".
There were three or four Miss Julies in the show's 23-year run. But if you grew up in the '60s and '70s, you knew only one: Edna Anderson-Taylor. A sunny blonde with a throaty voice, she led you in the Pledge of Allegiance every morning.
Savannah, Georgia[edit]
Miss Kay Lisicia hosted the Savannah version on WTOC during the early 1970s.
Washington, D.C.[edit]
Miss Connie Bohlin hosted the D.C. version on WTTG Channel 5 from 1957 - 1967.
Wichita, Kansas[edit]
Miss Marti Watson Garlett was the final host of Romper Room on KAKE-TV in Wichita, Kansas, from 1977-1986, when KAKE canceled the show, a few years after the FCC ceased requiring educational programs for children on commercial television (KAKE was and is an ABC affiliate). Marti Garlett holds a PhD and was one of the few nationwide hosts who came from a child development background and was a former classroom teacher (preschool through grade 3). Most hosts came with radio-television prior experience. She went on to create online teacher preparation programs at Western Governors University, Walden University, and Kendall College, the latter in early childhood education. While she was hosting Romper Room, she was also a full-time professor of elementary teacher education at Friends University in Wichita. She lovingly called Romper Room her "moonlight job" and thought aloud that she should have paid for the privilege of being Miss Marti, rather than being paid.
Miss Barbara Balay was one of the first hosts of Romper Room on KAKE-TV. She later married one of the first producers on the morning show, David Carl Dunn. He wrote a book about their relationship both on and off the air called "From Kansas to Hollywood."
Two controversial events were connected with Romper Room:
Miss Sherri[edit]
In 1962, the hostess of the Phoenix franchise of Romper Room linked her own name with that of the ongoing controversies over abortion. Sherri Finkbine, known to television viewers as "Miss Sherri", sought hospital approval for abortion on the ground that she had been taking thalidomide and believed her child would be born deformed. Finkbine made a public announcement about the dangers of thalidomide, and the hospital refused to allow an abortion, apparently because of her announcement and its own fear of publicity. Finkbine traveled to Sweden for the abortion. Upon completion, it was confirmed that the fetus had no legs and only one arm. The incident became a made-for-TV movie in 1992, A Private Matter, with Sissy Spacek as Finkbine.
Action For Children's Television[edit]
After the children's television watchdog group Action for Children's Television was organized in 1968, the group's first target was Boston's version of Romper Room at WHDH-TV, which at the time was a children's show that focused on the promotion of its branded line of toys to its viewers. Threatened with referral to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), WHDH scaled back the host's role in pitching the program's products ("host-selling").
Through the 1980s, Hasbro (which had purchased the program in 1969) sold branded Romper Room toys and products, but since ACT's intervention, ads and promotions for the items were not seen in the Romper Room program.
The Romper Room format was expanded into other countries, such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, and the United Kingdom.[7]
Several stations in Australia aired their own versions of Romper Room, most notably the Seven Network (who produced a national version through its Sydney station ATN-7) and regional station NBN-3 Newcastle.
The hostesses of the national edition were Miss Susan, Miss Patricia, Miss Colleen, Miss Helena, Miss Nancy, and Miss Megan. This version of Romper Room was axed in 1988 as the children's show Fat Cat and Friends replaced it.[8]
The NBN edition continued after the station became an affiliate of the Nine Network, with a new title, Big Dog and Friends, the title referring to the station's mascot Big Dog, who appeared in the show as the sidekick of the hostess, Miss Kim. This, the last version of Romper Room to survive on Australian television, was eventually cancelled.
Other stations known to have produced their own versions of Romper Room are SAS-10 (now SAS-7) Adelaide, which ran from 1965 to 1974, and ATV-0 (now ATV-10) Melbourne.
In Canada, the first station to start airing the locally produced version of Romper Room was CKLW-TV in Windsor, Ontario, which at the time was serving the Detroit, Michigan television market, in 1954, the year the station signed on, with Miss Ardis (Ardis Kenealy) and Miss Flora, Flora (Paulin) Asselstine. Besides Windsor, CJCH-TV in Halifax, Nova Scotia also produced a local version during the 1960s, which was hosted by "Miss Jo-Anne" (Jo-Anne Lawson.) This version later moved to CHSJ-TV in Saint John, New Brunswick during the 1970s.[9] Other local versions were produced at CHCH-TV in Hamilton, Ontario, CHBC-TV in Kelowna, BC, CJAY-TV in Winnipeg, CKVR-TV in Barrie, Ontario hosted by "Miss Lois" (Lois Welsman) and CFCF-TV in Montreal. In Newfoundland and Labrador, a local version was produced on CJON-TV (NTV) in St. John's, and there was another local version produced in Grand Falls-Windsor. The version in Toronto aired on CFTO-TV.
A nation-wide program that ran from 1972-1992 on CTV was produced at CKCO-TV in Kitchener, Ontario and was hosted by "Miss Fran" (Fran Pappert), "Miss Jean" (Jeanette Moffat) and "Miss Betty" (Betty Thompson). The Canadian version of the program used the same opening credits and "Pop Goes the Weasel" theme as the US version, the Jack-in-the-box logo, and other elements such as the Do-Bee character and the Magic Mirror (including the psychedelic visual effect that went along with it). When the US franchise changed the title to Romper Room and Friends, the Canadian series followed suit.
Hong Kong[edit]
In Hong Kong, there was a local version called Siusiu Lokyuen (小小樂園), which aired since the late 1960s to the early 1970s. It was hosted by Miss Chiu Suk-ching (趙淑貞) but she would be known as "Sister Chiu" (趙淑貞姐姐). Elements such as "Pop Goes the Weasel" theme, the Jack-in-the-box logo, the Do-Bee character and the Magic Mirror are the same as other versions.[10][11]
In Japan, there was a localised version called Ronpārūmu (ロンパールーム?), which aired from 1963 to 1979 on Nittele. Just before this show debuted, the first Japanese hostess, Midori Namiki, visited New York for training with other hostesses from several countries.[12]
Hostesses of the Japanese version were always named Miss Midori, with "midori" meaning "green".
United Kingdom[edit]
The United Kingdom had several versions of Romper Room.
Anglia Television produced a version for broadcast in the East Anglia region of England from 1964–1976, hosted by "Miss Rosalyn" (Rosalyn Thompson).[13]
In Northern Ireland, local ITV affiliate UTV created a local production in the late 1960s and early 1970s, hosted by "Miss Adrienne" (mother of television reporter Andrea Catherwood), and then "Miss Helen" and Rose Neill "Miss Rose".
Around the same time, Grampian Television in northern Scotland produced a version hosted by "Miss Lesley" (Lesley Blair, a continuity announcer) and "Miss Rose Neill".

Central Park's Cherry Hill Concourse Makes A Comeback
The Central Park Conservancy has unveiled yet another, even more idyllic setting for wedding parties to stage their photos. The Cherry Hill Concourse has been painstakingly restored to its historic role as an "ideal vantage point for visitors to take in views of the nearby Lake," according to the Conservancy.
Frederick Law Olmsted's original plans may be forever marred by ice skating rinks and baseball diamonds, but at least some things can be returned to their original beauty. Read More

Does as it is suppose to!
This product is amazing! A friend gave me a sample to try and I did. Low and behold I loved the results and immediately ordered my own.

Important Supplement
I started using this product about nine months ago after reading about the benefits of magnesium. (two tsp in water each night just before going to bed) I am definitely sleeping much better all night long and dreaming like I have not dreamt in years! I never let myself run out of this important supplement.

Works really well
All I can say is AMAZING! It is so simple and yet it works so well to calm my nerves and mind for a restful night sleep. If I do wake, I can get back to sleep very quickly. Tastes good; I like it cold.

A: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a bright yellow color and a clear consistency. There was a small amount of foamy head that quickly dissipated. Good lacing.
S: A solid aroma of hops, malt, and pine as well.
T: Tasted of hops - a lot of hops - along with pine, malt, and a hint of citrus. The hoppiness takes a little getting used to, but it becomes likeable after a while. A good flavor.
M: A fair amount of carbonation with an overly bitter and oily finish. Light- to medium-bodied.
O: This beer has its rough spots, but in the end is pretty drinkable.

Nice IPA to start the day off with. I'm very impressed with the consistency of this beer. The more you let it settle, it kinda finishes like a nitro. Not too thick, but definitely substantial, lower end of syrupy. Taste is good, very smooth grassy hop. Much, much, much better taste and consistency than a beer ranked as low as this on BA.
Color is a yellow orange with just a tad of red in the right light. Not a lot of nose, but that may just be me.
Honestly, I think the pot theme may turn some folks off. I'm not into that, but could care less about it when it comes to this beer. I'd definitely buy this again, and again. Love it.

its basically a cloaked link though, thats what im worried about - although you've got perfectly legit reasons for using it. and google can obviously tell where it ends up. but can they tell the reason why you are redirecting it is to track it? doubtful. how could they tell that?
blocking spiders from the directory doesnt stop google getting hold of the link in other ways (through chrome, or their toolbar) so it's not like its hidden.
all of a sudden i've just been getting the feeling that its a bad idea

I bought a Dell battery from this company 'okbatt.co.uk'. It was cheap, but only lasted a few months, it is totally dead and causing me a lot of hassle at work. Now I need to get the official Dell one anyway. This company sold me junk from China. Do not buy from them.

Type: Undervests/Base LayersManufacturer: Prendas CiclismoTeam: Molteni TeamThe sleeveless undervest is perfect for the summer months, or for time spent indoors either in the velodrome or on the turbo. It is actually pretty surprising the difference that the lack of material on the shoulders makes, and in the summer months, we are never without the sleeveless version. Generally speaking, over the 16 degrees mark is normally the temperature that most people make the switch from short sleeve to the sleeveless undervest. The sleeveless is also great for running, as runners tend to build up more heat with the lack of a cooling breeze.
