Because Upstream is More Fun Than Mainstream
The EX572a features:
- Liquid Crystal Polymer driver cones for better performance and reliability
- Butyl rubber surrounds for better performance and greater reliability
- Ferro-magnetic fluid cooled tweeters for high SPL
- Low profile design to ensure a perfect fit in a wide variety of locations
EX Series II full range and coaxial speakers are an ideal combination of high performance and "drop-in" flexibility. Designed to replace your factory speakers, they are exactingly engineered with high quality materials to provide state-of-the-art performance without the hassle of custom installation. That's 'cause Polk designed the EX Series II with multi-hole mounting patterns and extremely low profiles to ensure an easy fit into virtually any factory speaker location.
Speakers have to fit into your car, huh? Extensive database research helped us develop a multi-hole drop-in system to fit virtually every application. From a Miata to a Firebird to a Jeep Wrangler, there's an EX Series II speaker that drops right into your car. No cutting. No knuckle banging. No hassle. We are ALL ABOUT database research here at Polk Audio.
EXII speakers use materials that are usually found only in speakers costing much more. The butyl rubber surrounds help give them smooth midrange and extended bass response, and won't tear or crack like foam rubber surrounds found in other brands. The polymer composite cones in the midranges and woofers are moisture resistant and light -- yet extremely rigid for lightning quick response with extremely low distortion.
The Polk EX Series: They're everything you need in a car speaker. Incredible sound at an affordable price. Designed to fit. And built to last.

Will I have to take my phone to the Nokia service center to upgrade it to v21? I'm in Malaysia, phone's a 0586297 RM-505 (Non-APAC Malaysia). I had to take it to a Nokia store yesterday to have it upgraded to v20. I would appriciate it if you'dNokia would allow me to do a OTA update or do the update myself instead of having to take it down to the store everytime a new firmware comes out.

New details have been released in the sex crimes case against WLBT meteorologist Eric Law.
According to a Madison Police Department incident report, Facebook messages between Law and the 15-year-old girl he is accused of having inappropriate contact with were turned over to an investigator with the Rankin County Sheriff's Department.
According to the report the Facebook messages indicated Law, 32, and the girl had sexual contact, and when investigators interviewed the girl, she confirmed she and Law had been intimate at Law's house in Madison.
According to the report the girl said she spent the night with Law and the two would go to the "law and order room" and engage in sexual behavior.
Law -- who is married but doesn't have children -- was arrested Thursday and charged with two counts of sexual battery and two counts of gratification of lust. He was released Thursday afternoon on $200,000 bond.
Law has been a meteorologist at WLBT since 2004.
"Eric Law has been suspended until further notice," said WLBT News Director Wilson Stribling last week.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSFairness WV Group Holds Rally In Charleston
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Feb. 11, 2014 9:42 AM EST
Updated: Feb. 11, 2014 9:50 AM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Kallie Cart, Bethany Simmons) -- Fairness West Virginia held a rally at the state Capitol Monday in Charleston.
The Civil Rights Advocacy Group is asking for fair treatment and civil rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender West Virginians.
Currently in the Mountain State, it is legal to fire or evict a person for his or her sexual orientation, whether real or perceived.
Those who participated said they just want the same rights as everyone else.
"All we want is the right to work in this state. It doesn't seem like it's asking for much," Justin Murdock with Fairness WV said. "And that's all we want -- we want our House of Representatives -- we want our Senate to pass a bill backing us saying that every West Virginian deserves the right to be secured and employed in this state."
According to a 2013 public policy poll, 68 percent of West Virginians believe that discrimination in employment and housing based on sexual orientation or gender identity should not be allowed.

Getting out of the closet...and many thanks
For the first time since April, I have an office again! It feels like such a luxury after these past few months. I missed my books, my computer, the many treasures you guys have given me at our various get togethers that decorate my walls and bookcases and inspire me. The MacHalo just got unpacked and is hanging on the wall. I get to go to work tomorrow morning somewhere besides a closet. For whatever reason the muse decrees, I do my best work in the dark, and the only dark place that's been available has been a very small closet. Could barely fit my chair in there. (Florida houses, huge windows, no shades, what's with that?) Between the blow up bed and the closet, all I was getting from Barrons was a cool stare and a 'you've got to be kidding me, Ms. Moning.' So Monday--dark office--back in the saddle--can't wait!
Thanks for being patient, and a huge thanks for all the support and love you've been sending via FB, MB, blog and emails. I hope you know how much it means to me! You'd think I'd eventually get past being astounded by the quality of people you Maniacs are, but I never do. I loved the quotes so many of you sent me, bits of wisdom acquired through your own trials and tribulations. At a time when I felt so alone, you reminded me that I wasn't. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Tommy Clarke is a native New Yorker and was a first-responder at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. His experience at the tragedy profoundly changed his life. Clarke felt a duty to keep alive the memory of those who died that day, as well as the survivors who still suffer effects from the attacks and the collapse of the towers.
Clarke enlisted his longtime friend and three-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Eric Clapton to create something to honor the three services of first responders – the New York Police Department, the Fire Department of New York and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Clapton brought in master luthier Todd Krause from the Fender Guitar Custom Shop and legendary graffiti artist Lee Quinones to design and build three guitars.
Quinones interviewed many 9/11 survivors to get their thoughts and impressions about the events. With their stories as inspiration, Quinones and Clarke conceptualized the renderings that Quinones then painted on the back of each guitar. Clarke secured authentic badges and commendation bars, and Krause installed them on the instruments he built himself. Clapton brought these guitars on tour with him in 2011 and played them onstage in Brazil.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will bring the guitars to the 2013 Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival as part of a special guitar exhibit from April 12-13 at Madison Square Garden. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will also bring Muddy Waters' 1958 Fender Telecaster, which is part of the Museum's permanent collection and featured in the Roots of Rock gallery. All four guitars will return to exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, after the Crossroads Festival.

In the three years Guillaume Henry has headed up Carven, he's established new codes for the old couture house with surprising swiftness and confidence. The cheeky cutouts, the snug little sweaters, and the trim and neat tailleurs that made today's front row look like a convention of naughty prep school girls all made reappearances on the runway. The difference was this collection's new mood. "Lost in India in the middle of the twentieth century" was how Henry described it, though he also cited influences like the Art Nouveau star Émile Gallé and African safaris. How we describe it: moodier, sophisticated, more grown-up.
That's thanks to new silhouettes like fuller, A-line skirts in place of
season's bubble minis and elongated, belted jackets that looked almost
stately. Fabrics like a thick, substantial tweed seemed richer (not to
mention fall-like—designers are shrugging off seasons more and more),
Henry hasn't lost his cheekier sensibilities. The safari print featured
just animals but also caravans and binoculars-wielding tourists. As for
those cutouts, they were everywhere you looked: heart-shaped at the waist
of suit jackets, above the bust on a coat-dress, on the sides of a
sheath. If anything, Henry relied on them too much this season. They felt
fresh when they were laser-cut in Gallé-esque Art Nouveau patterns, but
Henry's next step forward should be to define some new signatures for the
Style Map

Sustainability Coordinator Michael Orr accepts prize for top university/college participation in eco-friendly commuting
Tuesday, April 29, 2014
In the Colleges and Universities Category, Lesley was lauded for having the highest percentage of faculty and staff "check-ins" and the highest proportion of "green switches," where people eschew their cars in favor of more sustainable transportation — like commuter rail, walking or riding a bicycle, for their commute to work.
Other schools competing for the award included Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Simmons College.
"Walk/Ride Day is a great opportunity to build community, experiment with a different mode of commuting and reduce our global footprint," said Michael Orr, sustainability coordinator for Lesley University. "Personally, I like to bike to and from work because I get the benefits of independence and speed similar to a car, but the exercise and connection with nature similar to walking."
The Green Streets Initiative award recognizes Lesley's embrace of "green" transportation, and it reflects one important aspect of Lesley's broad commitment to sustainable practices and initiatives.
"I encourage each of our faculty, staff and students — and people everywhere — to participate in Walk/Ride Day or otherwise undertake a commute that might take them out of their comfort zone, yet provides peace of mind knowing they have reduced their impact on climate change," Orr notes.

Diego Forlan scored Uruguay's first goal of South Africa 2010 in the 24th minute against South Africa, giving Uruguay a 1-0 lead.
Forlan struck a ball from 22 yards out that went off a Bafana Bafana defender and looped into the left of goal, with South Africa goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune being caught off-balance as the ball looped over him and into goal.
It is Forlan's second career World Cup goal, having also scored in 2002.

Of course, he starts with all the "Baylor's never won in Stillwater" things that have no bearing on this season.
Chris Low, ESPN's lead SEC blogger, today compiled a ranking of the SEC football facilities. MSU came in 9th out of 14 (list includes new members aTm and Mizzou), but Chris appears to have not updated his info on the new football facility: "The Bulldogs are breaking ground on a new $25 million football complex sometime this year..." Try LAST year, Christopher. Do you agree with this ranking? At first I thought we were ranked low, but there are some really good facilities ahead of us.
"We saw a better, more explosive offense with Mackey in the game, but expecting a duplicate performance this week would be like expecting the cast of Jersey Shore to be invited back to Italy after what we've seen in Season 4." -Chris Low That's some quality writing, Chris!per the ESPN SEC blog
I am torn on this one. On the one hand, a New Year's Eve bowl would be a gift; on the other hand, I don't want to play a team from Conference USA. The Music City Bowl is the earliest SEC bowl game (December 30), but it offers an opportunity to renew the rivalry with Clemson. The Compass Bowl is the weakest SEC tie-in, but it also takes place on January 8. While I am not crazy about any of these options, each has advantages that might make it the dog with the fewest fleas. Go 'Dawgs!
I'm going to have to look that one up, because it's a new one on me; I don't even know where it's played, or what the corporate sponsor makes. Here's the kicker, though: it's a January 8 bowl game, making it the third-latest bowl game (behind only the Fight Hunger Bowl and, of course, the BCS National Championship Game). I'm still holding out hope for a Music City Bowl matchup with Clemson, but, failing that, I have to say that a January bowl game (with the accompanying practice time stretching into the new year) has a lot of appeal. Of course, first the Bulldogs have to get bowl eligible. First things first. Go 'Dawgs!
It has been a disappointing college football season for the Georgia Bulldogs, but Dawg Sports may have located a silver lining: it is possible that the Red and Black may meet the rival Clemson...
Thursday Afternoon Clippings
A quick look at Georgia football for 2010, and why pessimism isn't warranted.
The fact that Richt would come and get Belin is just another indication of the kind of staff Johnson has assembled at Vanderbilt. Florida wooed Kenny Carter away a couple of years ago, and Carter is now with Charlie Strong at Louisville. Bowling Green's Dave Clawson tried to hire Vanderbilt secondary coach Jamie Bryant as his defensive coordinator last year. Oklahoma State came after Vanderbilt defensive coordinator Bruce Fowler, and South Carolina has made a couple of different runs at Vanderbilt assistant head coach and offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell.Chris Low on Warren Belin.
As for a few final thoughts on the the Alabama football team, I'll start with the young talent in the program. It's staggering. Guys like Dont'a Hightower, Marcell Dareus, Courtney Upshaw, Mark Barron, Brandon Gibson and Jerrell Harris -- all sophomores -- are poised to take big steps this season. Hightower was a full-time starter last season. Of course, that's not even counting Julio Jones and Mark Ingram from the sophomore class. And in this freshman class, Alabama fans are going to love defensive back Dre Kirkpatrick. He's a blur coming out of his breaks and has that swagger about him all the great defensive backs possess.ESPN's Chris Low bids sayonara to Tuscaloosa and provides a final pre-season take on the 2009 Crimson Tide.

Chance of snow for Mid Devon tonight
3:31pm Tuesday 11th December 2012 in Devon
PARTS of Mid Devon could get a light dusting of snow tonight (Tuesday) thanks to the icy blast which hits us this week.
The chance of snow stretches up to Wellington in Somerset and towards Exeter and the south coast.
A Met Office spokesman said: "A cold, frosty night with temperatures dropping under clear skies. Some freezing fog is likely to develop, particularly in the north and east. Minimum Temperature -6 °C."
While they do not mention snowfall, the map suggests there may be snow and sleet across the region.
If you get any pictures of the snow where you are, send them to firstname.lastname@example.com

Youths sneak into ambulances outside St Helier hospital to steal flammable liquid
Updated 2:06pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in News By Mike Murphy-Pyle, Chief Reporter
Youths stole alcohol-based hand-wash from the back of ambulances to start a fire in a skate park.
Firefighters say youths managed to sneak into the back of ambulances outside A&E at St Helier hospital so they could steal the hand sanitiser.
They then took the bottles to the nearby Rosehill skate park where they started a fire on one of the ramps.
Firefighters from Sutton were called to the scene just before 9pm last night after a passer-by spotted the fire and saw a gang of youths running away.
A Sutton firefighter said: "The fire was relatively small but as we were putting it out it became apparent that they used alcohol-based hand cleansers to start it.
"We thought they must have taken them from the hospital so we went over there but it turns out they have been taking them from the backs of ambulances as they are unloading people."
Police and hospital security have been made aware of the incident and are investigating. The fire caused only minor damage to the skate ramp.
If you have information about the incident, you can call police on 101 or the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

A newspaper's requests to obtain information about millions of dollars in taxpayer funded-injury settlements paid to prison guards plus the current status of a workers' compensation arbitrator's fourth on-the-job injury claim pit two state agencies against each other.
The legal battle could escalate today when a deadline expires in a Freedom of Information request by the Belleville News-Democrat for anonymous medical tests conducted on Menard Correctional Center guards who received settlements for carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive trauma injuries. The newspaper stipulated that names and other personal identifiers could be removed.
Today is when attorneys for the state Central Management Services could file for a circuit court appeal of an Illinois Attorney General's opinion that the records are public and should be released. Or, they could turn over the records. A spokeswoman for CMS agreed to provide a comment but later could not be reached.
Last month, the Attorney General's Public Access Counselor's Office issued a binding opinion, calling for the release of the medical tests held by CMS, the state agency that manages the workers' compensation program. Those records have not been released. Under Illinois law, CMS has 35 days to release the documents or appeal the opinion to circuit court, either in Sangamon or Cook County. Today will be the 35th day.
"We can't physically go to CMS and force them to turn over the documents, but we can go through this process," said Natalie Bauer, the Attorney General's spokeswoman. "You have requested the documents. We have said you should have them. They should give the documents to you."
If CMS opts for court, taxpayers will shoulder the bill for hiring an outside law firm to represent them in the suit, Bauer said. An assistant sttorney general, funded by taxpayers, will defend the opinion.
"It's the problem with the new law. The Public Access Counselor cannot enforce its own opinions against another state agency," said Don Craven, the attorney for the Illinois Press Association. "This is the (state's) chief law enforcement officer telling an agency what the state of the law is and they are choosing not to comply."
The News-Democrat requested the tests after reporting that almost $10 million in workers' compensation claims were paid to about 232 Menard Correctional Center employees, mostly guards, since Jan. 1, 2008.
Most of the claims were for repetitive trauma hand and elbow injuries the guards alleged were caused by locking and unlocking cells.
Another AG opinion last week called for the release of paperwork concerning Illinois Workers' Compensation Arbitrator Kathleen Hagan's most recent workers' compensation claim.
CMS sought to block the release of Hagan's Form 900, the document that details how an injury occurred, how much the state paid in medical costs and whether it was an accident and if there were witnesses.
News-Democrat reporters filed a Freedom of Information request to obtain the document in February after learning Hagan, a Chicago workers' compensation arbitrator, filed her fourth claim seeking a settlement for a leg injury. The claim was filed days before a three-year deadline. Her three previous claims were settled for a total of $42,271.
CMS asserted that the release of the most recent claim paperwork would violate Hagan's privacy and violate the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or HIPAA. The agency also repeated the argument it used to deny turning over the test results or that state law allows "proprietary" information regarding the operation of an "insurance pool" to be off-limits to the public.
The Illinois Attorney General's Public Access Office disagreed.
In his May 12 opinion, Assistant Attorney General Steve Silverman found the only information that should not be released is Hagan's specific medical condition and diagnosis. But that was to protect Hagan's privacy and was not a violation of HIPAA. Since CMS is not a health care provider or a health insurance company, Silverman said it wasn't covered by HIPAA.
CMS' Form 900 didn't give away any trade secrets regarding the administration of the workers' compensation program, according to the opinion.
"The form does not appear to reveal policies, procedures or practices which CMS has adopted to manage claims, loss and risk exposure," Silverman wrote.
It's the same issue CMS employed to try to block the release of medical tests of prison guards who received workers' compensation settlements.
The issues in the CMS denial of release of Hagan's documents "rise and fall" with the denial of the request for the prison guards' medical tests, Bauer said.
"They are wrong on the law. They are wrong on the policy," Bauer said. "They should turn over the records and not thumb their nose at the opinion."

Stanford grad's site nets Southwest 'cease and desist'

Excellent hack. Too bad Southwest has no sense of humor.
You've got a bright future ahead of you Nikil.
on Oct 23, 2012 at 7:21 pm
Maybe it's the survivalist in me, but I'll take a C ticket and fly in the last row over an A ticket and sit in the front every time.
on Oct 23, 2012 at 7:36 pm
Earl, the A-B-C designation has nothing to do with sections of seats. Rather, the A boarding allows you to choose any available seat, and all the As board and choose, and then the Bs board and choose, before the Cs get to. So with an A pass, you can sit in the back if you want, plus you can probably score an aisle or window seat, and get to sit with your traveling companions.
With a C pass, there's a good chance that you'll be stuck in a middle seat, and your traveling companions will be in middle seats in different rows. Maybe you also run a greater risk of being bumped from an overbooked flight. Not what most travelers want. Hence, the desirability of an A pass and the ability of Southwest to make money by selling early-boarding privileges. And hence the desirability of a Website that allows one to check in as soon as allowable.

Yes, the Bears will be starting a 38-year-old quarterback that hasn't played much since the 2007 season in Todd Collins. He'll be playing behind a porous offensive line that will be without OLT Chris Williams again.
Collins will prove to be just effective enough in a game-manager role, though, and the defense will put forth another strong effort to get the Bears through their Week Five battle vs. the winless Panthers.
The Panthers' offense will not have a very productive day, as RBs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart will struggle to find holes while the Bears confront them with eight defenders in the box early and often. Rookie QB Jimmy Clausen won't have much help from an inexperienced receiving corps that will be without leader Steve Smith.
Prediction: Chicago 17, Carolina 13

Whether looking to have a romantic getaway for two or a family vacation,

the quaint Goldrush town of Murphys.
The Yellow Cottage is perfectly located. It is on a quiet street,
just a few minute walk from the historic downtown area. Only 100
yards away is quaint town park. The park is complete with a
beautiful gazebo that overlooks the Murphys Creek, a playground for
children, and picnic areas for barbequing. Directly across the
street from the cottage is the Murphys Playhouse Theatre where plays as well
as local musicians can be seen on the weekends.
While sitting on the front porch you can watch the horse-drawn
carriage pass by or you can relax in privacy of the high-fenced,
back yard. The master bedroom has high ceilings and a bay
window which overlooks the front garden. The front bedroom has a
beautiful antique, oak bed which is covered with a colorful quilt,
making the room feel cozy and cheerful. The room overlooks the front
yard and has a bathroom located just around the corner, complete
with a claw-footed bathtub.
From the living room you can see the backyard garden area. It is
centered by an old apple tree covered in ivy. The apple tree shades
the yard in the summertime, making it a perfect area for outside
dining on the back gazebo, and it provides abundant fruit in the
Fall to pick for a homemade apple pie. The kitchen has all the
amenities need for cooking and a small dining area.
You will be pleased with your stay at this cozy country home!

Yoko Ono joins America's gun control debate by tweeting image of John Lennon's blood stained glasses
The artist and wife of former Beatle John Lennon, Yoko Ono, has entered America's debate on gun control by tweeting an image of Lennon's blood stained glasses.
The image carried the words, "over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on 8 Dec 1980."
Posting the tweet, 44 years to the day after the couple wed, she said: "The death of a loved one is a hollowing experience."
The death of a loved one is a hollowing experience. After 33 years our son Sean and I still miss him. Yoko Ono Lennon http://t.co/PYigb2uJKT
John Lennon was murdered on December 8, 1980, outside his New York apartment.
He was shot four times in the back by Mark Chapman who had asked for his autograph only hours before.
Together, let's bring back America, the green land of peace. http://t.co/Al3PWTC4aZ
31,537 people are killed by guns in the USA every year. We are turning this beautiful country into war zone. http://t.co/vT2gLjwUZV
Tougher calls for gun control have been ongoing since the mass shooting last year that killed 20 schoolchildren and six adults in Newtown, Connecticut, and the Aurora cinema shooting last July.

School supporters wear red today to show teacher appreciation

This is getting ridiculous. These pathetic little fashion gestures are USELESS and likely non-compliant with state law. Political statements are not permitted on school campuses. Disguising them as "showing support for teachers" doesn't diminish the fact that this is a BALLOT issue, and should be no more allowed than an anti-Obama or anti-Bush shirt.
And what of the child who just happened to wear BLUE today? One would hope that teachers are professionally bound NOT to comment on politically motivated fashion, but we've seen that many teachers don't recognize professional boundaries. And suppose students (who have no such boundaries) criticize or ostracize a non-conforming fashionista based on politics?
Stop this fashion/political manipulation of our kids!

I actually find it quite comforting to see so many parents on my daughter's campus wearing red when they pick up their kids after school. It gives me more of a sense of how many parents are already aware of the effects that state budget cuts could have on our schools and are following the parcel tax issues.
It puts the opposition I read about here more into perspective, as a distinct minority.

The Divorced Mom's Guide to Online Dating
Giving it a Try
I live in a big city -- Washington, D.C. -- but the world I actually inhabit feels small, two linked microcosms of home and office. My ex-husband and I work at the same company, so meeting someone on the job is a long shot. At the end of my workday, I rush home to relieve the babysitter and take care of my two young children. I'm too old and too busy to hang out in bars, and I'm not about to take up golf, hunting, or skydiving just to meet a man. "Go online," says my divorced friend Amy, as though she's giving me a tip on where to find Tory Burch boots at a discount.
I'm conflicted. On one hand, I'll have plenty of company: Forty million Americans are looking for love online, and 17 percent of U.S. marriages last year originated there, according to research. Those have to be better odds than sitting on the couch watching the Disney Channel. On the other hand, I'll have to swallow my pride. Somehow, mating via computer feels like a last resort. Isn't it bad enough that Prince Charming Number One defected? Shouldn't my good sportsmanship be rewarded with the effortless appearance of Prince Charming 2.0?
Evidently not. So my impatience, Amy, and a bottle of good cabernet gang up on me, and I take the plunge. There's no shortage of dating sites. One of the largest, eHarmony, actively sets you up with people according to a scientific formula based on a member's core values. That sounds a bit too Big Brotherish for me. I settle on one of the other large sites, Match.com, largely because that's where Amy met her boyfriend, Bill. "Let's write your profile," she says. "Think of it as an infomercial for yourself." She pushes the keyboard toward me and tops off my wineglass.
I type in my basic stats and answer questions about interests, exercise habits, and favorite things. I decide to speak from the heart. "I'm riding my bike to work today, talking to you in my head," I write. "Here's my list of Top 10 things you should know about me." Over my shoulder, Amy reads aloud. "'One: Everyone meets for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. The fun is figuring out which.' Good! That shows you're spiritual." "And not desperate," I add. "A date can just be about having a good time." "'Two. Do you cook? I find that sexy. There's nothing better than having my children (5 and 7) tucked in their beds while I pour the wine and you play Grill Master.'" "In other words, dude, I've got two kids," I say. "And I'm not cooking you dinner."
We laugh. Amy reads on, ending with my grand finale. "'Ten. So here's the thing. This is my first foray into online dating. I've been single for three years, and the pain of my divorce has finally lifted. I'm a passionate person, not perfect by any means, but I have a Go Big or Go Home attitude about life. If you are still reading this, then...'" We set my criteria filters to eliminate men who live beyond a 15-mile radius of me, smoke, exceed my age (47) by more than 15 years, and are shorter than my 5-foot-10. I upload a head shot, three photos of me on trips with friends, and one with my dad. For security reasons, profiles use pseudonyms. "Melina means honey," I say. "How about Honeybee?" "Perfect," Amy says, hitting submit. "Let the games begin."
The next day I receive an e-mail from MultipleOMan. "Welcome to Match!" he says. "You're hot, but you're outta of my league, so I'm taking a pass." He's cute in his baseball cap. "You're e-mailing to reject me? And how can 'MultipleOMan' and 'out of my league' be in the same message?" I respond. We banter, make friends. And boy, do I need a friend. I'm clueless. Every day the site pairs me up with five people, and I'm supposed to indicate whether I'm interested. I can also search for men who fit my criteria and e-mail them or "wink" to test the waters. "MultipleOMan, how do I work this thing?" I ask. "Respond to matches of the day, wink, or what?" "Do nothing," he says. "Your in-box will fill up, I promise."
I'm skeptical, but he's right. Profiles steadily trickle in. A little becomes a lot -- perhaps because I'm the new kid on the block -- and within a week I get 1,000 clicks on my profile and 30 e-mails asking me out. Match sends a pop-up directing me to reset my filters more stringently. "You got the pop-up!" says Amy. "That's flattering." I feel like I've won the slots for men! What's interesting is that most mention my Top Ten list. "I feel like you're talking to me," writes one. "You make me smile," says another. And the "Do you cook" query turns out to be a surprisingly concrete conversation starter. Not only do several men offer to make me dinner, but their responses also tell me a lot about them.
Amy checks out the pickings. "Would you want to kiss him?" she says, pointing at a would-be date who's 15 years older than me. "You've got to vet according to what matters most to you." I ponder this for a moment. "I'm looking for a smart, funny, kissable dad around my age who lives nearby," I announce. Bam, bam, bam, just like that Amy deep cleans my virtual boyfriend closet. We reset my criteria so the guys have to be younger, taller and local. That leaves six. I set up dates with all of them for when I return from a two-week vacation in India.
But after I arrive in Mumbai, I discover to my horror that my Match mail has been sending my out-of-town auto-reply with my real identity. Yikes! This is unsafe, a real Match no-no. Several suitors jump in to help. LetsDance, an IT specialist, actually calls my office to sort it out. I decide he deserves a personal thank-you. In the meantime, instead of soaking up the sights of India, I'm searching for Wi-Fi to e-mail HorseDad. Over the course of 10 days I experience an entire relationship -- including flirting, deep talks, huge fight, and ugly breakup -- with a total stranger. I realize I may be getting a little addicted to the sudden new attention.

text: Power On 50The 50 most influential people in home building.By Pat Curry What a difference two years makes. The industry has officially cooled since 2004, when BUILDER debuted its list of the 50 most influential people in home building. Builders who couldn't keep up with the demand for their product then are now scrambling to sell aging inventory. In 2004, home builders were a shining light in the economy.And then there were Hurricane Katrina and her nasty cousins, Rita and Wilma. The storms forever changed the physical landscape and the cultural fabric of the Gulf Coast and fueled a call for a new approach to building in coastal areas that are vulnerable to monstrous storms.This fall, BUILDER's editors met to discuss who should be included on this year's top-50 list. Many of the names we reviewed were familiar—people still exerting considerable power—and roughly half the list is a duplicate of the original. But the top name on our 2004 list, Alan Greenspan, retired as chairman of the Federal Reserve, and No. 2, Franklin Raines, was forced out as chairman and CEO of Fannie Mae. President George W. Bush still made the cut this time, but for an entirely different reason from when he was just ending his first term.Some names dropped off the list, not because the individuals no longer wield power, but because we felt they had simply stayed the course instead of charging forward, creating opportunities, or redefining the boundaries of innovation. We also made a conscious effort to recognize some new voices. With others, we opted for a wait-and-see approach. It wasn't enough that a person had taken on a major role; we wanted to see what he or she does with it.If your name is here, it's a testament to your vision and success during difficult times. If it's not, there's still time to make your mark and earn a spot on our next list.1. Ben S. BernankeChairman Federal Reserve System Board of GovernorsIn 2006, the chairman of the Fed continues to hold the key to housing's position in the economy—though builders might wish otherwise. The Harvard- and MIT-educated economist presides over the agency at a time when rising interest rates have curtailed investor interest in housing and cancellations are up. Plus, as ARMs are reset at higher rates, countless homeowners face significantly higher monthly payments—and the possibility of foreclosure.—Pat Curry2. Michael ChertoffSecretary Department of Homeland SecurityWhile Congress agreed to disagree on immigration reform this year, the Department of Homeland Security cast a chill around builder jobsites with its Immigration and Customs Enforcement branch's crackdowns on employers. Chertoff is also pushing hard to seek criminal penalties against business executives who hire undocumented workers.—Steve Zurier3. Jerry HowardExecutive Vice President and CEO National Association of Home BuildersHoward has won a well-deserved reputation for being a responsible voice for the home building industry. In the past year, the NAHB has pushed to revitalize the FHA, supported a guest-worker program for immigrant workers, and issued a landmark study with the NAACP that addresses barriers to minority homeownership. Howard has been the top NAHB executive since February 2001.—S.Z.4. Marianne CusatoPrincipal Marianne Cusato AssociatesCusato made our list as designer of Katrina Cottage 1, a 308-square-foot emergency dwelling that actually looks like a house. It can be built more quickly and much more affordably than a FEMA trailer—especially now that Lowe's is selling it in a kit. Cusato's elegant solution for the aftermath of a natural disaster is also the realization of a more far-reaching dream—a well-designed, truly affordable home.—P.C.5. George W. BushPresident of the United StatesWhen our inaugural list appeared, President Bush made the cut (at No. 3) because builders supported Republican business policies and for his commitment to minority homeownership. He returns to the list this year for his guest-worker plan, a program to help address the need for a stable workforce in such industries as home building. He'll need all the weight of his office to get the new Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill to go along with the plan.—P.C.Learn more about markets featured in this article: New Orleans, LA, Los Angeles, CA. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Next Advertisement Keywords: SubjectBusiness Sales Economic Conditions Design Mergers and Acquisitions LocationNew Orleans, LA PersonBob TollOrganizationWhirlpool M.Power View more keywords SubjectBusiness Sales Economic Conditions Design Mergers and Acquisitions Affordable Housing Leadership Mortgages and Banking Demographics Legislation Lumberyards Residential Construction Urban Development Workforce Preservation Transportation Safety Urban Forestry Residential ProjectsLocationNew Orleans, LA Los Angeles, CAStateCALIFORNIA LOUISIANA FLORIDA MISSISSIPPIPersonBob TollOrganizationWhirlpool M.PowerSection / SubsectionFEATUREBylinePat Curry View fewer keywords More from BUILDEREDUCATION Designing with Metal courseVideoJohn Caulfield Reports on Ben Bernanke PresentationAffordable HousingHousing's Top Policy Priorities In FocusBusinessConstruction Employment OutlookLos Angeles-Long Beach-Santa...Angelo Mozilo Speaks: No Regrets at Countrywide - BloombergNew Orleans-Metairie-Kenner,...Gracepoint Brings a Big of Big Easy to Space CityBob TollWith Dominion Purchase, Pulte Buys Share, Pace, and Geography M.PowerLennar orders in order ... breatheWhirlpoolKB Tests the Limits of a...CALIFORNIAHousing's Big Hedge: ImmigrantsFLORIDAIn Florida, Return of the Condo-Hotel?Pat CurryCan You Hear Me Now?FEATUREBoost Curb Appeal Without Breaking...DemographicsWoes and the Middle ClassDesignNothing Fancy, Just 4 Great Small...

Attractive dark gold color in the Stella Artois goblet with a decent foam and lacing. Resiny aroma and big grapefruit peel with some fruit in the nose. Quite sharp and spritzy in the mouth with some acidity.
This is pretty interesting with a wealth of hop flavors and moderate bitterness. The brewery notes say it's made with Columbus and Northern Brewer hops and dry-hopped with Cascade and Amarillo. It's a mouthful. Modest malt that provides some sweetness and substance. The tangy scorched pineapple flavor and an herbal hop flavor are intensified by the high octane ABV. Grapefruit finish.
Sharp but a little malty, and plenty of juice. Long bitter aftertaste is From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Central Market (Shoreline) in Seattle.

The Hop Warrior from Ice Harbor is a very tricky IPA. The beer pours a hazy straw color with almost no head...but what is there is lacing. The smell is mostly a tangerine/bitter citrus. The taste starts with a fresh hop...then turns to a sharp citrus to a wierd twang then to a bitter spice. The mouthfeel is full with minimal carbonation. Overall its a big beer....only one for me please.

Another selection from Seattle.
A: Cloudy Orange- white Fluffy head -No lacing
S: Hops, orange zest, caramel apple. Malt
T: orange starts out and hops bitterness hits soon often. A bit of malt in the Finish
M: Dry and medium carbonation
O: this is a decent offering. Good Sumner IPA

Big-ass 22oz bottle purchased at Yoke's in the Kennewick highlands. According to the label, this has now dropped to 8%abv. This beer is new to me in bottled form, but I've had this many times on tap at the IH brewpub, and have scuttled out of there more than once with a growler of it as well. The label seems a bit more "industrial" looking than the labels of IH's other beers. Sadly, there's no freshness date on it, which should be a requirement for all hoppy beers.
Poured a hazy golden amber color, with a big, white bubbly head that took its time settling, and left lots of lace.
Big, citrus hops are up front in the nose. Smells like Amarillo hops were used liberally.
The taste is dominated by hops that are pretty up front, with a combined bitter and fruity blast to the tastebuds. From that point, however, there's not much else going on. Seems like more of a malt backbone is needed. Big pucker fractor at the swallow, its pretty dry at the end.
Medium bodied, with a drier, more prickly mouthfeel than I was expecting. I had thought to encounter an oily, hop-resiny feel, but that's not the case.
A mediocre Imperial IPA, and one that does not match my experiences with this beer when I've had it on-tap. This may be too old. I'll continue to drink it fresh when I visit the brewpub whenever I'm in Kennewick, but I'll be a lot more hesitant to get another bottle of this.

Seems like I've been on a local beer buying kick lately, so...here goes trying one of them!
Side note: The bottle lists this beer at 8.1%, even though it says 9% here.
A - Pours a cloudy, slightly dull, orange-ish gold hue, with a somewhat small head, leaving moderate lacing.
S - Smell is of caramel drizzled mangos, pineapple, and piney hops. Not quite as strong as I was expecting, but pleasing nonetheless.
T - Taste is of semi-bready caramel malts, with mixed citrus fruits (mostly mango, orange), and a strong, piney bitterness that lingers. This will most undoubtedly please die-hard hop fans, but I felt it could use a bit more balance and flavor. Not bad though!
M - This beer is medium-bodied, with modest carbonation, and a slick, oily feel that complements the bready malt texture.
D - I do gotta say though, although this stuff is pretty potent, it's reasonably quaffable too.
Overall - Not a bad DIPA, but not a remarkable one either. The name certainly isn't false advertising though. Die hard hop fans looking for a strongly bitter ale will probably love this stuff. Overall, it's an ok DIPA that I wouldn't turn down. But in the PNW where there are many better DIPA options available, it's hard to make this one a go-to choice.

22 oz. bottle purchased at brewery shared with local beer buddy 11.29.10.
One finger billowing white head, fairly quick dissipation with slightly above average lacing. Hazy orangish amber body, not sure if unfiltered or bottle conditioned, the glass I had at the brewery over lunch was much clearer, no visible carbonation. Nose is primarily mild citrus and some caramel/crystal malts for balance. Taste mirrors nose, distinct citrus aromas, mild grapefruit, some sweetness in middle, leading to a lingering noble bitter finish. Not much complexity to hop profile re only using one (Warrior) variety. Mouthfeel is medium, not much effervescence. Drinkability is ok, but I was surprised at the lack of complexity of the bottled version. Wonder if this has been sitting around a bit too long and the hops have faded. I prefer the tap version.

On tap at the marina brew pup, served in a small (12 oz) glass due to the ABV which according to the waitress was "almost 10."
Pours a rich gold color and is hazy. The glass is topped with a small creamy white head.
Smell is faint and predictably piney.
Taste is a strong hop flavor and not much else. There is no malt presence to speak of. A real bitter heat sensation.
Mouthfeel is mildly carbonated and a bit watery. Lingering bitter aftertaste.
Drinkability is just average. It's over priced at $5.00 a glass. I'd skip this one in the future.

We sampled a couple of ounces a few weeks ago when touring the brewery...now that it has aged and is on tap we returned to the brewery pub to properly sample it.
A: It poured a bright yellow with a ting of ruby, a bone-white head and nice lacing.
S: WOW!! The floral hops pop from the glass and punch you in the nose. Based on the aroma alone it deserves the imperial designation. The massive hop head makes detecting the sweet malts difficult if not impossible. It is very one dimensional...even if by intent its limited complexity is a downer.
T: Hops, hops and more hops. This brew is a pop heads delight. It is aggressively bitter, has a biting spice flavor and when ever any sweetnesses peaks through it is killed by the army of hops deployed in earning its name. It reminds me of a recent trip to Toppeninsh, WA to view the hop harvest. I popped a hop flower in my mouth...BAM...I was in hop hell. Over the top.
M: Light body with a bitter hoppy front, middle and end. Warm, bitter and sour aftertaste.
D: One and done. I am less than impressed.

Presumably Hop Warrior uses Warrior hops, yes? Either way, this seasonal imperial is brewed to unapologetic extremes with a bright hop aroma that is floral, spicy, and potent. Ice Harbor deploys the Warrior in a stemmed wine glass that soon racks up a sizable measure of tightly clinging lace, though the body is nearly devoid of rising bubbles.
This amber-gold double IPA is a virtual hops war in a glass, yet the body doesnt suffer from astringency or excess tannins and a modest register of sugar residues suggests Warrior must have started with a gargantuan OG. An intense, smack-you-in-the-face citric flavor makes you wish for a chaser of fresh water. But dont let that hold you back. It takes a warrior to face The Warrior. Just proceed with caution.

Higgs boson confirmed - the God particle
Original post made by Higgs on Jul 4, 2012
The Higgs boson.
Saw Ezra Klein yak about it on Monday's Moment of Geek. Very cool.
from the Wash Post:
"A half-century scientific quest culminated early Wednesday as physicists announced the discovery of a new subatomic particle one theorized to be so fundamental that without it, nothing could exist.
Dubbed the Higgs boson or the "God particle," to the chagrin of scientists the particle is thought to create a sort of force field that permeates the universe, imbuing everything that we can see and touch with the fundamental property known as mass.
"To the layman I now say, I think we have it," said Rolf-Dieter Heuer, director general of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, immediately after physicists presented compelling evidence for the new particle at a seminar in Geneva.
"Do you agree?" he asked the several hundred scientists packing CERN's main auditorium.
Applause broke out. The video feed from CERN showed Peter Higgs, the University of Edinburgh physicist who theorized the existence of this exotic particle in 1964, tearing up."
Geeks go wild.

Referring to it as the God particle is lazy thinking. The original writer referred to it as the "goddamned particle" expressing his hard frustrating work.
His possibly well meaning, or religious, editor changed it.
Catchy pseudonym but we need a more accurate name. The Higgs boson works for me.

Especially from Sharon!
It's wonderful and great to see a focus on geeks excited about science instead of technology. Hopefully, some of the non-geeks will catch on to the excitement and pay attention to this.
on Jul 7, 2012 at 12:20 pm
Yes, geeks had a great week; just the video from Cern, alone, was required viewing.
Very cool.
And yes, the puns are just starting....

It is time for all of our schools throughout the area to have full High Speed or Broadband access to the Internet. While not the only important learning tool available, it is an increasingly vital one. Students to be competitive must have continuing fast Internet access so that it becomes a second language in the preparation of their future. Yet our country and our region have a long way to go.
The United States ranks only 15th in the world in broadband access for all. Our country, which invented the Internet and created its basic programs, falls behind nations such as England, France, Korea and Germany in per capita access.
The next President of the United States says he will advocate a huge stimulus package. While much of it will be for infrastructure projects, but as reported in the New York Times on December 7th, the program also will include a vast expansion of Broadband Internet access and the upgrading of computers in the schools. President-elect Obama reminds us that while we invented the Internet, we lag behind its development and use in the schools so that every child has the opportunity and knowledge to use the internet.
I have seen very few St. Louis schools where students use the Internet as a learning tool. For some there is a computer at home. But children spend most of their days in classrooms where so much of their education takes place. And there Internet access needs to be fully available and utilized.
Schools must take advantage of the federal opportunity that will be offered. The package to be presented to Congress will hopefully put 2,000,000 plus people to work building highways, bridges and infrastructure. But the offer appears to be open for schools to develop programs for the Internet and have access to purchasing computers. Do not let this opportunity slip by. It is too important for the future of our children and this country. Broadband Internet is the interstate information highway of the 21st Century.

Little Noah Shawgo grabbed an ornament off the "Wish Tree" at Home Instead Senior Care in Missoula. His parents are trying to teach him that part of the Christmas spirit is the joy of giving, so they are Adopting-A-Senior this holiday season.
"Part of our church mission statement is loving the city, and this is a tangible way that we can actually reach out to the community and help someone in need, or someone who is not as fortunate as others," Greg Shawgo, who is Noah's father, said.
For the second year in a row, Home Instead Senior Care is reaching out to community members to Adopt-A-Senior. Individuals can pick an ornament off the "Wish Tree" at the Southgate Mall, purchase the items on a senior's "Wish List" and spread holiday cheer to a senior, who is lonely or in need.
"Seniors sometimes may be forgotten, and so this is a great way for seniors, who are without family or may not be receiving gifts this holiday season, well, it brings some joy into their world and the magic of Christmas," Denise Krueger, with Home Instead Senior Care, added.
Home Instead Senior Care will then collect, wrap, and deliver the gifts to seniors in Missoula and Ravallli counties.
"When you look at the group and the percentages for growth for the upcoming future for seniors in our area, it's huge, it's overwhelming," Krueger said. "I think that includes seniors, who are able to provide for themselves and have family just as much as it includes those seniors, who are without loved ones or family or friends and struggle to make ends meet."
Last year, 35 seniors received gifts of lap blankets, robes or slippers, as well as coffee, crossword puzzles, or books, which were all placed in gift bags decorated by local school children.
Krueger said that she hopes to spread the Christmas magic to roughly 60 seniors this year.
"The thing about the gifts for seniors that we were really drawn to is that is was actual needs like blankets, slippers, mittens, food items, things they actually need to live," Shawgo added. "That was a big plus to actually helping out the seniors."
He said that he and his growing family will continue to Adopt-A-Senior year-after-year.
"It's amazing the feeling you get inside when you know that you've made someone's holidays just even a little bit better."
If you would like to Adopt-A-Senior this holiday season, you can do so until Wednesday, December 18th and remember to return your gift, unwrapped, to the "Wish Tree" at the Southgate Mall in Missoula. For more information, call Home Instead Senior Care at: (406)523-9909.

Drake stops JU; race tightens
Related Links
DES MOINES, Ia – Drake's Pat Cashmore scored on a 4-yard run with 21 seconds to play as the Bulldogs put a big dent into Jacksonville University's Pioneer Football League title hopes with a 31-24 win here Saturday.
he loss stopped a record 16-game JU PFL winning streak and kept the Dolphins (6-3, 5-1) winless at Drake Stadium where Drake (8-2, 6-1) now has won nine straight.
"It was a back and forth game and you have to give Drake credit,'' JU coach Kerwin Bell said. "They played a whale of a game. We're still in it (the league title chase).''
San Diego is the third team in the chase and is 5-1 in conference. JU goes to San Diego in two weeks.
JU overcame a 17-10 Drake halftime lead and pulled ahead 24-17 when quarterback Josh McGregor hit wide receiver Josh
Philpart on a 48-yard pass early in the fourth quarter for a 24-17 lead. It was McGregor's 112th career TD pass. Drake rebounded and tied with 3:49 to play on an 8-yard touchdown pass from Mike Piatkowski to Joey Orlando.
After a short Drake kickoff, the Dolphins started near midfield but McGregor threw his fourth interception of the day and the Bulldogs started at their own 42-yard line.
Drake had taken a 17-10 lead into halftime after turnovers hurt both teams in the first half.
McGregor threw three first-half interceptions, Drake quarterback Mike Piatkowski had one and the Dolphins recovered a fumble. He ended the game with 249 yards passing with a 23-for-37 day and three touchdowns.
Drake opened the scoring with a 43-yard field goal from Billy Janssen in the first quarter.
JU responded in the second when McGregor his Tommie Rogers on a 39-yard touchdown pass, his 23rd of the year and 110th of his career which put him alone in seventh on the all-time FCS touchdown pass list.
The Dolphins went up 10-3 with 7:32 to play in the half when Bladen Gudz connected on a 30-yard field goal.
The Bulldogs movde to their halftime lead with back to back scoring drives. The first was six plays for 53 yards after the Gudz field goal and the second came after a McGregor interception.
The Dolphins return home for Senior Day Saturday at noon against Butler.
