Since the first issue of Electronic House back in the early 1980s, we've harped on the importance of prewiring. With the right low-voltage wiring in all the right places, your home will be ready for any cool electronics or home systems you want installed—now or in the future. It's always good to be prepared, right?
How Long Does It Take to Install? A basic distributed music system takes just a day or two to prewire; prepare for up to several weeks if you want other systems.
Why Do I Need It? By prewiring your house, you can keep many electronic components hidden away in an equipment closet or elsewhere. Proper prewiring also enables you to add new equipment to your system without having to fish cabling through the walls.
Best Time to Prewire? You'll save time and money by prewiring your home during construction or renovation. Fishing wire through walls and floors that are already finished can cost twice as much (or more) as it would to have the wiring installed while the walls are open and exposed.
While prewiring may be an easy concept to grasp, determining the best locations for that wire can be confusing. Should you focus solely on obvious areas like the family room, home office and kitchen, or are there some spaces you're forgetting about?
We queried dozens of custom electronics (CE) pros to find out which areas tend to be overlooked in prewiring plans—and how to give those spaces the solid cabling backbone they deserve. Click here for the top seven spaces that should never be forgotten, what wiring to include.

Nationally touring comedian and award-winning writer, Erikka Innes, is scoring high marks in comedy clubs all over. Her act is smart, insightful, and her quirky innocence masks a dark, biting undertone.
Erikka has toured with "The CoExist Comedy Tour," "Five Funny Females," "Women Who Kick Comedy Butt," and "The High School Reunion Comedy Tour." Her comedy has appeared in the NY Post and she was nominated by the SF Weekly as one of the funniest SF comedians to follow on Twitter.

Allegro non troppo [8'39]
Andante [8'39]
Allegro non troppo [6'07]
In the first movement Fauré creates music of disturbing force within a design that represents an original interpretation of sonata form. There are three main ideas: the first menacing and syncopated, flaring up from the depths of the keyboard; the second passionate and tortuously chromatic, sounded high on the violin; and the third a gently lyrical melody whose consolatory calm is threatened by the opening syncopated figure in the bass. The sequence of these three ideas, and a broad tonal scheme that moves from E minor to G major, corresponds to a sonata exposition. But what follows is not the traditional development and recapitulation but rather three continuous sections each of which states and develops the themes in their original order. Of these the first can be viewed as a second exposition, the latter two as varied recapitulations. The music touches an intensity of violence at the start of the first recapitulation—where the canonic writing, so characteristic of late Fauré, possesses an almost brutal rawness—and in the coda, which contorts the opening theme into new, harshly angular shapes.
The Andante, in A major, exudes the rarified serenity tinged with disquiet that pervades much of Fauré's later music. Its main theme, derived from the rejected D minor symphony of 1884, sets a melodic line of delicate, refined simplicity against ambivalent chromatic harmonies: on the theme's reprise, in C major, midway through the movement, the harmonies become still stranger. A second melody, announced espressivo on the violin, hovers hauntingly between E major and the remoteness of F minor; its subsequent developments, often in canon, attain a moving intensity, impassioned yet restrained. The profoundly tranquil coda, with the violin in its deepest register, subtly combines aspects of each of the two main ideas.
The opening melody of the E major finale is quintessential late Fauré in its insouciant grace, its unemphatic syncopations and its calmly repeated rhythmic patterns over a strongly defined bass. Two further ideas alternate with this melody in a rondo-like design: a broad, warmly expressive violin theme characterized by its initial falling octave, and a more reserved cantabile melody underpinned by elusive chromatic harmonies. Yet these secondary ideas always glide nonchalantly back to the opening refrain whose hushed appearance, with note-values doubled, at the centre of the movement reveal its kinship with the broad violin tune. Towards the close, Fauré introduces, deep in the bass, the sonata's opening motif, a reminder of the work's sombre origins. This then yields to an expanded version of the calm, lyrical idea from the first movement, which now rises to an ecstatic fervour. It is characteristic of Fauré's whole art that these cyclic references are managed with supreme ease and naturalness, the first emerging as part of a logical growth in the music's intensity, the second passing in a seamless texture to the rondo refrain and the radiant peroration.

There is a little bit of a buzz generating from the independent wrestling circuit. Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas are going to be reuniting for a show in Houston, which is being promoted by Booker T. The reason why there is a buzz brewing is because Kurt Angle recently teased fans on Twitter by asking them if they want to see a Team Angle reunion, which has sparked rumors that the Olympic gold medalist might be making a surprise appearance at the event.
November 22, 2014
Since he abruptly retired from professional wrestling, Charlie Haas has been relatively quiet. He abandoned his Twitter account, and he only appeared sporadically at obscure independent wrestling shows in Texas. The former WWE star is making a little comeback in November, though. He will be teaming up with Shelton Benjamin for a Jersey All Pro show in Rahway, New Jersey.
September 18, 2014
A post from Twitter, where JBL mocks Shelton Benjamin by taking a picture of Rico Constantino, who is visiting Monday Night Raw today, and stating that Constantino is the best tag team partner that Charlie Haas has ever had in WWE.
August 18, 2014
With Jeff Jarrett traveling the world to find professional wrestling stars to join his new Global Force Wrestling, a name that has popped up in the rumor mills is Charlie Haas. The former WWE star has been really quiet since his odd departure from ROH. Haas has been in semi retirement, working small shows here and there in Texas. He would bring a veteran presence and a familiar face to GFW.
April 24, 2014
Last spring, Charlie Haas abruptly announced his retirement after a really weird incident with ROH that took place both backstage and in the ring. While many expected him to resurface, he has opted to remain off the grid. He has worked a couple of matches on the independent wrestling circuit in Texas, but those were mainly small shows.
February 10, 2014
Prior to becoming a WWE star, Charlie Haas worked as a stockbrocker.
November 23, 2013
While he does work a few independent shows around Texas, Charlie Haas has no interest in returning to wrestling on a full time basis.
October 27, 2013
Kurt Angle wasn't involved in a match at Great American Bash 2004, but he still played a role at the WWE pay per view. His first appearance of the evening was accompanying his new protege, Luther Reigns, and guiding him to a victory over Charlie Haas.
June 27, 2004
Chris Benoit shocked the wrestling world when he was able to win the Royal Rumble and earned himself a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. He was successfully able to eliminate the Big Show to win the match.
January 25, 2004

Charles Darwin
Agence France-Presse — Getty Images
Charles Darwin developed the first scientific theory of evolution. His books--in particular the Origin of Species--became the bedrock upon which modern biology stands.
Darwin was born in 1809 to wealthy parents, and as a teenager he was expected to become a doctor like his father, Robert. But after he enrolled in the University of Edinburgh, he proved more interested in natural history than medicine. Darwin moved to Cambridge, where he began to train to be a clergyman--a common path for affluent young Englishman with an interest in nature. But an invitation to join a voyage around the world aboard the HMS Beagle altered the direction of his life one final time: over the next five years Darwin was transformed into a naturalist.
Darwin dug up fossils on his journey, collected birds and plants and other specimens, and became familiar with geology. It was not until his return to England, however, that Darwin began to seriously question the explanations of England's leading naturalists for how life got to be the way it is. Rather than being created at the beginning of the world, or from time to time over the history of the Earth, Darwin became convinced that species had evolved from common ancestors.
Darwin spent twenty years carefully gathering evidence for his theory and anticipating every objection his critics might have. He knew that he would have to find the mechanism by which life evolved. Darwin recognized that species contain vast amounts of variation, some of which could be inherited. Variations that made individuals better adapted to their environment would let them have more offspring. Natural selection, as Darwin called this process, would could gradually create enormous changes over millions of years. But Darwin also recognized other kinds of change, such as sexual selection--the success some males have at attracting females thanks to bright feathers or other displays.
Darwin offered his theory to the public in 1858, prompted by a letter he received from the naturalist Alfred Russell Wallace. Wallace had developed a similar theory to Darwin's, and Darwin feared his own, more detailed ideas would be neglected if Wallace was the first to publish his results. So he arranged that letters from both of them were read at a meeting of the Linnean Society and published in their journal. Darwin followed up with The Origin of Species in 1859. In later years, Darwin further developed his ideas about evolution, publishing books on species ranging from orchids to humans to earthworms.
By the time Darwin died in 1882, he was recognized as one of England's greatest scientists and was buried in Westminster Abbey. By then, most biologists had come to agree with Darwin that species shared a common ancestry. But many rejected natural selection, preferring other kinds of mechanisms to drive evolutionary change. It was not until twentieth-century biologists uncovered DNA that they were able to confirm the reality of natural selection, by discovering how it worked on the level of molecules. -- Carl Zimmer, (Feb. 10, 2009)

Thanks very much, and good job on the kill.. would you recommend using 3 tank in the 10m version? or have a ranged kite the dog?
Originally Posted by Aliena

I imagine a ranged can kite just fine, but as I haven't done it, maybe someone else would be able to confirm for sure.
If you tank riplimb far enough from the boss he can take so long to retrieve the spear that both debuffs run out (no refresh on the MT when Shannox does not have his spear equipped, no debuff on the OT when the dog isn't hitting him. You can also use traps to slow stack growth on the OT. You can probably also freeze riplimb when Shannox is about to throw his spear to gain another 5-6 seconds.
We used 3 tanks as well for 25 man, but apparently there is a strat that involves tanking them a billion yards apart so every spear throw is a guaranteed reset for both tanks. Also, a DPS warrior can intervene the stacks if you really really need a reset (they just need to be baller at guessing)
Another thing that I said in the other thread is that you can also have whoever is second on DPS (which if you are switching targets properly should be very clear who that person is) run far away at about 5 stacks. The next time the debuff has 10 or less seconds on it bop the tank (which will not remove the debuff) but it will take the boss long enough to run away and back that you will reset and it will not melee that dpser.
Also, has anyone else noticed a bug with getting battle rezed on this fight, now maybe the druid in my guild is just a super awesome battle rezer (he really is) but of the 4 times I died tonight 3 times I got battle rezed and was still at exactly the same threat I was at before I died. Oddly, the one time the warrior died this did not happen and we wiped because of it, but it happened enough to make me question what the hell was happening. Anyway, lemmie know if this happened to you as well., would be curious to hear about it.
Tried this on 10 man last night. Had some difficulty.
I'm thinking 3 tanks is not really an option. Nor is trying to have the 2 tanks tank shannox/riplimb at the same time, as it makes the threat dump too hard to coordinate.
I'm wondering if the best option on 10 man would be to have 1 tank on shannox, 1 tank on riplimb, and have the riplimb tank w/ a friendly healer (pally beacon maybe) stay far away from shannox so that the spear run will clear both stacks. Maybe also trying to have a prison trap between dog and shannox (but from that far away, this seems challenging.
Any suggestions? I've seen only 1 10 man video posted since last night and they made it seem as though the tanks were swapping riplimb/shannox together.. But we really struggled with that. We were coordinating switching one of them fine, but then the other would get stuck for longer and both tanks would end up with fresh stacks.
Something I forgot to mention, we had much more success and finally killed it by just killing random-target dog (I am terrible with their names) right off the bat and just healed through the 30% buff. This has the advantage of making both tanks so far ahead on threat transitions become a joke. We decided to do this because all of our non-tank deaths were a result of a target change-> dead
And also in part because of this. This logic escapes me, and my raid agreed with me when we finally realized why he was not swapping targets on big crits, because crit damage is not affected that much by having 15 more players in the raid, maybe 30K is just unrealistic for 10 man but we wer eback and forth all night about how to kill the random-target dog until we finally found that little gem of information, and the very first attempt we straight up ignored the other 2 and killed him first, was our kill attempt.This is broken if Rageface takes 45000 damage in a single attack - or 30000 in the 10-man version.
We had issues with b-rezzes as well. Sometimes threat was dropped, other times the tank came up and had the same threat as before he died.Also, has anyone else noticed a bug with getting battle rezed on this fight, now maybe the druid in my guild is just a super awesome battle rezer (he really is) but of the 4 times I died tonight 3 times I got battle rezed and was still at exactly the same threat I was at before I died. Oddly, the one time the warrior died this did not happen and we wiped because of it, but it happened enough to make me question what the hell was happening.

"Stop trying to hit me and hit me!"
~ Morpheus
I have a feeling that the "keep Shannox and Riplimb separated and kite riplimb through the crystal trap while he's retrieving the spear in order to drop stacks" strategy is probably the one that was intended by Blizzard. Blizzard hasn't had a taunt immune tank switching boss since... Hydross? And even Hydross had an aggro wipe, making tank switching easy.
My guess: Blizzard people would figure out the spear kiting strategy and go with it. When people on the PTR figured out a taunt switch strategy instead, Blizzard decided to make the bosses taunt immune to stop that sort of behavior, but many people went ahead with a tank switching strategy anyway, using oldschool vanilla WoW tank switching techniques. The spear kiting, though, was still the intention and probably optimal.

Yea using the strat in the video makes threat extremely delicate and requires MDs and tricks to be reserved for the tanks to help switch quickly. spear throw trapping just requires a good offtank.
Also not mentioned in this video is the fact that dogs can trip the immolation traps. So what you want to do is kite rageface over immolation traps for more dmg and kite riplimb over crystal traps to drop stacks (right as shannox throws his spear). also rogues can disarm a trap every 70 seconds. We had our rogue clearing immolation traps near the crystal traps that riplimb was about to be kited into so that he didnt trip the immolation trap instead. When a dog trips a trap it gains a debuff called "Wary" which means it will not trip another trap for 23(?) seconds. So if you keep getting riplimb hit by immolation traps he'll be wary when you try to trap him in a prison and he wont be stuck long enough for stacks to reset.

So what would the most viable strat be for 10 man? After reading the posts so far i'm seeing a few potential options:
Strat #1 - Adapting the Tankspot 25 man strat to 10 man
Have both tanks stack on top of eachother with one tank tanking Shannox while the other tries to stay as close to pulling threat as is safe. When the tank currently tanking gets to 5 stacks he stops attacking all together and lets the other tank pull threat, then keeps up as closely as possible. Rinse and repeat. Depending on raid make-up you could use several abilities to aid this transition. As for Riplimb have a plate dps kite him around.
The only potential problem I see here is the dps kiter dying since he's not a tank or potentially losing threat since he's kiting but shouldn't be too big of an issue with a skilled kiter and good heals.
Strat #2 - A single tank tanking both Shannox and Riplimb then swapping both
Same as the above strat only one tank is tanking Shannox AND Riplimb while the other tries to stay as close to pulling threat as is safe. When the tank currently tanking gets to 5 stacks he stops attacking all together and lets the other tank pull threat, then keeps up as closely as possible. Rinse and repeat. Depending on raid make-up you could use several abilities to aid this transition.
The potential problem I see here is accidentally pulling threat so both tanks end up with Jagged Tear, especially at transitions, however, if managed carefully this shouldn't be an issue.
Strat #3 - Tank Shannox and Riplimb very far apart
Have one tank on Shannox and the other on Riplimb. The tanks tank their target 50-60 yards apart from the other (world raid markers are AWESOME for this) so that the stacks fall off by the time both Shannox and Riplimb are able to reapply the debuff. Careful not to bring them much further apart however or they will both get a buff and proceed to murder the tanks. Once both dogs are dead use everything you can to get the OT up to 2nd place in threat just incase the MT dies. If tank and healer CDs are communicated and cycled this should not be an issue.
Strat #4 - 3 tanks, 2 on Shannox 1 on Riplimb
With this strat you could go one of two ways. Either do it exactly as the Tankspot video did or have the third tank tank Riplimb really far away so as to reset the stacks of the debuff. With either of these you have two tanks at the top of the threat meter when the dogs are dead for swapping or in case a tank dies.
The potential problem I see here is with three tanks you're severely hurting on dps, especially since you'll probably want three healers too.
With any of these strats what would be the best way to split dps? Based on what Darksend's group did it sounds like the best way to go would be to kill Rageface, burn the boss down to 35%, kill Riplimb, finish the boss. Or once Rageface is dead splitting dps between the boss and Riplimb so that Riplimb dies when the boss gets to 30%. With only 4-5 dpsers it doesn't seem viable to split the dps more than two ways, though I could be wrong. Which of these strats do you guys think would work best, or if none of them what would you propose? What's the consensus on how to split the dps, or should you? Has anyone done this fight on 10 man successfully yet that would be willing to share how you did it?
EDIT - Post Fight Feedback
We dropped Shannox last night and found Strat #3 to be the best strat for 10 man. We put down world markers roughly 50 yards apart and tried to keep both Shannox and Riplimb close to these while the raid stacked inbetween. I tanked Riplimb and found that if I ran just past the marker and turned Riplimb around so my back was facing the raid and Shannox the spear marker would always be placed a little further away still. As soon as the marker was placed I would kite Riplimb toward the raid either as far as I could or optimally into a Crystal Prison Trap. With this method we never had an issue with Riplimb and Shannox being too far apart or with stacks not falling off either tank. I should note we also had a hunter using Concussive Shot on Riplimb as he brought the spear back to Shannox if I couldn't get him into a trap. Also of note, the debuff no longer stacks on the Shannox tank once the dogs die so even if he has stacks on him still they will fall off.
As for DPS we focused all DPS on Rageface, then Shannox to 35-37%, then Riplimb, then back to Shannox. The Shannox tank should have Shannox at 30% about the same time Riplimb dies. Our biggest problem was people either not getting out of or running into traps. Even with several mess ups and people needing burst out of Crystal Prison Traps (and me dying right as Riplimb died, hehe) we still got the boss down. With some practice this fight turned out to be not bad at all and rather fun. Good luck to you all!

We used 2 tanks and put the dog ~60 yards away. One of our raiders said that more than 60 yards and shannox enrages. Dunno where he got that info, but we didn't exactly want to test it.
But it isn't just about distance. You HAVE to trap the dog during a spear fetch or else stacks wont drop. The dog is also slowable.
Tank something like this:
[Shannox]--------------------------[The Raid]--------------------------[Riplimb]
One tank tanks Shannox, the other tank tanks Riplimb. Assign some DPS to try and push them even like in the original video strat. Its best to NOT have a class with built in slows on Riplimb since slows will build an immunity to being slowed. Someone with a controlled slow works the best, such as a hunter concussive shot.
When Shannox throws his spear, run Riplimb AWAY from the spear landing spot.
[Shannox]--------------------------[The Raid]----[Riplimb]-------------[SpearLandingZone]
It takes some adjusting to find the appropriate distance but the fight becomes trivial after that. If you don't have a hunter or character with controlled slow, you could pull Riplimb over Shannox Freezing trap BEFORE the spear is thrown.
When phase 2 starts, its a DPS race/keeping up the Shannox tank alive race. Kinda like phase 2 Chimareon
Also anyone have any information on the immune to slow buff that they gain? How long does it last, how/when is it applied.
Only the dog that walks on a trap gets the wary debuff.
Ok, the boss gains 30% dmg and attk speed buff per dog that dies. Both dogs enrage if the boss reaches 30% when they are still alive.
The boss can only apply debuffs on the tank when he has his spear. Riplimb can't apply his debuff while he's retrieving the spear.
For the sake of clarity I suggest we kill Rageface fast, and live with the 30% buff on the boss. Try to stand between Rageface and any immolation traps during this to ensure he hits as many of those as possible. Leave Crystal traps free for Riplimb. With 1 tank on the boss and the other on Riplimb spaced roughly 60 yards apart. The raid will be positioned between the 2. This means all traps will be dropped between 2 tanks making it far easier to line up trapping Riplimb and easily allow for both tanks to drop stacks every time the spear is thrown.
Here's where my own little idea comes into play. Because the boss is untauntable but will continue to apply stacks after he hits 30%, I suggest that any class with an aggro drop dps the boss after Rageface dies, and those without an aggro drop dps Riplimb.
Then when we are ready to push the final phase, everyone who was dpsing Shannox drop all or as much aggro as they can (vanish, feign, shatter, whatever) and allow the tank who was on Riplimb to quickly become 2nd threat on the boss while the dps without those abilities shouldn't have threat on Shannox at all. When/if the Shannox tank dies the next tank is lined up to hold him until we collect loot.
Any thoughts on this?

A Battlefords-area man faces charges in connection to attacks on women at the University of Saskatchewan in May.
The Josiah Blackplume, 22, appeared in court in Saskatoon Monday. He faces charges of sexual assaulting a woman at a university parking lot, uttering threats, and a robbery with violence charge.
The robbery charge is connected to a May 10 incident where he is accused of grabbing a woman running on the Meewasin Trail.
According to Saskatoon Police, at approximately noon May 10 a female was jogging on the MVA trail toward the train bridge on the east side of the South Saskatchewan River. The man is alleged to have grabbed her from behind and threatened to physically harm her.
The suspect robbed the woman of her iPod and fled the scene. She was not physically harmed.
The accused is also facing charges in connection with a sexual assault that occurred May 23 on the University of Saskatchewan campus.
According to police, the man convinced the female victim to got to a nearby parking lot off of Seminary Crescent. Police say when the two arrived, the suspect sexually assaulted the woman before fleeing on foot. The victim was not physically injured during the assault.
An extensive investigation took place after the incidents, with police releasing a sketch drawing of the assailant following the attacks.
Saskatoon police said Friday that the media coverage that resulted led to the arrest of the individual from the Battlefords-area, who was brought before a Justice of the Peace that night.

Home additions can be tricky when you want to include technology. If you've got some design elements you'd like to keep intact, you have to be careful that the tech doesn't intrude.
For this family/media room installation, the owners wanted to make sure it was still warm and elegant while providing big-screen and surround-sound fun.
"We accomplished this by working closely with the client and their general contractor," says Rob Kowalski of custom electronics pro Premier Home Theater, Newton, N.J. "A few different ideas were discussed, but one was finally settled on that we all thought would work well to accommodate everyone's needs."
The room didn't come together without its challenges, though, Kowalski adds. Custom cabinetry was created to house a 55-inch Fujitsu plasma as well as Triad front channels in the surround system.
That didn't leave much room for a subwoofer, so it had to go elsewhere. The slick solution included placing the Triad in-wall sub into the custom window seat that was being built.
"The general contract built in a trap door in the window seat for access, and doubled up on all the plywood for mass," says Kowalski. "We also had give proper ventilation for the sub so as not to pressurize the cavity. The end result was great."
Also with the room's decor in mind—as well as daily operation—Premier Home Theater included Lutron lighting control to further eliminate clutter of having multiple light switches; plus the owner could control the lights from a Crestron color touchscreen controller.

Type 2 diabetes can be deadly for women, especially minority women. The prevalence is two to four times higher among women who are African-American, Hispanic, American Indian, or Asian/Pacific Islander, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
Over the last 30 years, death rates associated with heart disease have decreased in women without diabetes, while women with type 2 diabetes have seen an alarming increase, according to the American Diabetes Association.
What behaviors do women need to change? Basically, the big two: poor eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle.
Being overweight is directly linked to developing type 2 diabetes, and, as Americans' weights have soared in recent decades, so has the prevalence of the disease.
According to the CDC, more than 12 million American women ages 20 and older have diabetes. During pregnancy, diabetes can have serious effects on both mother and child, and it can increase a woman's risk for fertility problems and miscarriage. It's also linked to many other health problems, including high blood pressure, blindness, kidney failure, nerve problems, and increased risk for hip and shoulder fractures.
If you have diabetes, your body can't produce or efficiently use insulin. This is the hormone needed to transport blood sugar from your blood, into your body's cells, where it is used for energy. As a result, blood sugar levels remain dangerously high. Without usable sugar, your body lacks the energy it needs to function and stay healthy.
Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood through early adulthood, but it can occur at any age. Type 2 is much more common. The majority of women with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. It usually develops after age 45, but is increasingly being diagnosed in children and adolescents. It's far better to do what you can to prevent type 2 diabetes or to identify it as early as possible, rather than wait until symptoms develop. Early detection and treatment can help avoid serious complications of diabetes, such as stroke, heart and kidney problems, blindness, or foot or leg amputation.
You should talk to your doctor to find out if you are at increased risk for diabetes. Men and women alike should be tested for type 2 diabetes by age 45 and receive additional tests every three years, as long as they have normal results. Ask your health care provider about your personal risk factors and how often you should be tested.
You are at increased risk for diabetes if you:
Are age 45 or older
Have a family history of the disease
Are overweight or obese (BMI of 25 or more)
Are in a high-risk ethnic group (African-American, Hispanic, American Indian, or Asian/Pacific Islander)
Have a history of diabetes during pregnancy or have delivered a baby weighing more than 9 pounds
Have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or prediabetes — a condition in which blood glucose levels are above normal, but not yet in the diabetes range
The more risk factors you have, the higher your chance of developing diabetes.
If it turns out that you are at risk, be a team player. Work with your health care provider to develop lifestyle habits that will lower your risk.
If you are pregnant, talk to your obstetrician about your risk. Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that can pose serious health risks to both the pregnant woman and her unborn child — everything from high blood pressure and kidney infections to spontaneous abortion, premature delivery, and problems of low glucose in the newborn. In addition, women who have poorly controlled diabetes before getting pregnant are more likely to have babies with birth defects. Most obstetricians/gynecologists screen women for diabetes during the 24th to 28th weeks of pregnancy.
At-risk mothers should communicate their risk factors to their health care providers. If expectant mothers work closely with their health care team to keep their blood sugar close to normal, the risk for complications to themselves and their babies drops dramatically.
Another key step to help prevent or control diabetes is to eat better and exercise more. These two changes alone may prevent diabetes or delay its onset and complications.
Learn to eat a well-balanced diet that is low in fat and simple sugars. Balance what you eat with the amount of physical activity you get each day. If you are overweight, lose weight. Even a modest weight loss can reduce your risk for diabetes. Ideally, you should attempt to maintain a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 25. If your BMI is 25 or higher, make an effort through diet and exercise to get it within that range.
Find things you enjoy doing that will help you be more physically active. Exercise not only helps to prevent or delay diabetes, it also helps you to control your weight and make you feel better.
Getting more exercise doesn't just mean going to the gym. Being more active in your everyday life is also important. Walk to more places. Take the steps rather than the elevator. Choose some fun physical activities to do, such as bike riding, tennis, or walking.
Women who take up these healthful habits will serve as good role models for their children. Overweight and obese children are also at increased risk for type 2 diabetes.

What's this you say? No smart TV features? That's right, JVC is bucking the trend with its 50-inch R series BC50R BlackCrystal LED LCD TV. The company is not including any online smart TV features in this model—no Netflix, Pandora, Youtube or Facebook.
It's about time some company did that. JVC says in the product press release that those features were opted out because they're mostly redundant for consumers. Most buyers already have a media streaming device of some kind, be it a Ruku, Apple TV, smart Blu-ray player or Xbox 360. So why go to the effort of including all those apps in the TV too.
Instead of offering hundreds of free garbage apps, JVC says it's concentrating on video and audio performance, plus design—it sports an ultra-thin bezel.
If you want a JVC TV with all the online extras, then look for the JLE55SP4000, which includes the expected assortment of streaming services, plus SlingPlayer.
On the audio side, the BC50R includes the same crosstalk cancelling technology found in soundbars to enhance channel separation. A feature called XinemaSound 3D applies an Equal Loudness Contour to the audio signal for a perceptually balanced audio mix that sounds natural to the ears. A process called Clear Dialog dynamically adjusts the level of dialog in a sound mix for better clarity.
For picture quality, JVC includes smart local dimming for improved black levels; 2D motion-adaptive de-interlacing with automatic 3:2 & 2:2 reverse pull-down; color temperature adjustments with independent gain and offset; an Ambient Light Sensor; and a 20,000,000:1 dynamic contrast.
The set includes only two HDMI inputs, one with ARC (audio return channel), so if you have more than two source components you'll need an AV receiver or HDMI switcher. There's also a USB input for viewing photos. An MHL (mobile high definition link) input would have been nice for connecting a smart phone or Roku stick, but it appears that feature is not available.
The BV50R will be available this month for $799. If you want to win one, JVC is running a contest on Facebook and Twitter, so check them out there.

How Failing To Become A Firefighter Was The Best Thing For My Music Career
Growing up poor was difficult in of itself, let alone in a run down poor neighborhood full of crime, prostitution, and drug dealers. So it was extra painful when I realized that not only did we have the worst schools and other public services but even when we called 911, the response was never immediate like with some of my friends in the better, richer, cities.
Although we lacked many things, the one that frustrated me the most was the slow response of the police and firefighters to our neighborhood in the time of emergency and distress.
Because the firefighters did not respond in good time, many families were left homeless as they could only watch their homes burn down, with all their belongings go up in smoke....Read More

According to a recent ConsumerReports.org poll of more than 1,400 subscribers, the majority of those who own treadmills are happy with their purchase and use the machine at least as much as they had originally planned. Many experts recommend budgeting at least $1,000 for a quality treadmill, especially if you plan to do a lot of running. If you prefer walking or light jogging, you can get by with spending less.
Manual treadmills, which have no motor and must be powered by the user's walking motion, usually cost less than $200 and are at the bottom of the satisfaction list. Manual treadmills are set at a constant incline, which makes it easier to press the belt back with every step but also produces a much harder workout right off the bat. If you don't hold on to the handlebars as you walk, you might slide right off the back of the treadmill.
Small walking belts, short warranties and serious durability problems are common in this category, but some consumers are willing to overlook these issues in exchange for a lightweight, portable machine that can be stored almost anywhere.
Motorized treadmills around the $600 mark are best for walking and limited jogging. They usually don't have the necessary heft, power and stability -- or running space -- to stand up to frequent use or heavier users, although we did find one noteworthy exception to this rule: the Horizon T101-04 (Est. $630) . Once you pass the $1,000 price point, you'll find stronger motors; larger running belts; more stable frames; and longer, more comprehensive warranties.
Some treadmills come with novel features like iFit Live, which allows you to map out virtual-reality courses with Google Maps; the unit adjusts its incline to match the simulated terrain. That said, serious runners put a treadmill's sturdiness, power and controls ahead of showy features. The rare treadmills that can adjust to a negative incline are an exception to this rule because they offer a more realistic experience; we feature three such units in this report.
If you're interested in walking while you work -- whether to lose weight or just avoid the hazards of a sedentary lifestyle -- you can improvise a desktop across the handlebars of a regular treadmill. However, purpose-built treadmill desks are much safer. You don't have to worry about accidentally blocking access to the controls or tipping the "desk" off the handlebars. Treadmills meant specifically for use while working also have high-torque motors designed to withstand constant, slow speeds for hours at a time -- typically 1 to 2 mph.
Walking on a treadmill instead of sitting at a desk is a big commitment, but most owners who take the leap are thrilled to find themselves losing weight, incorporating more physical activity into their lives and just plain feeling better. "In the first day I casually walked to 17,000 steps [more than eight miles] without realizing it," writes one happy Amazon.com user who recently made the switch to a treadmill desk.

Faced with state-wide electric utility restructuring and power-market deregulation, the state of New York constantly has been adjusting the state's power markets to meet the potentially...
Extreme Efficiency
Performance standards are a valid idea—if targets are achievable.
). They also show that the few utilities saving 2 percent or more of their annual sales spent at least 2.5 percent of their annual revenues to achieve that savings level. There are no cases where expenditures of 2 percent of annual revenues produced savings larger than 1.5 percent.
There are, of course, possible learning effects and likely economies of scale. As utilities gain more experience in implementing energy-efficiency programs, they'll learn to do so more effectively and more cheaply. The growing investment in energy efficiency also attracts firms to enter the market, stimulating competition and lowering costs. There's also an argument for the existence of scale economies, but the evidence of such is weak and inconclusive. The available data from EIA show that savings increased from 0.42 percent of sales in 2006 to 0.49 percent of sales in 2008, with a three-year average of 0.45 percent. During that same period, spending increased from 0.9 to 1.2 percent of revenue—an increase of 30 percent. Regression analysis of per-unit cost of first-year savings as a function of savings, measured as a percent of annual sales, shows an elasticity of approximately 0.3 percent. 9
As studies of energy-efficiency potential have shown, conservation supply curves invariably re positively sloped. Marginal costs of energy savings are more likely to increase as savings potentials from low-cost measures are exhausted and the early-adopter markets are saturated first during an energy-efficiency program's life cycle. Over time, and as higher savings need to be achieved, utilities need to implement more expensive measures, consider paying higher incentives, intensifying marketing efforts to attract more participants, or both.
Also, utilities might be impeded in realizing aggressive saving targets after 2014, once the 2007 residential lighting standards of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) fully take effect, thus eliminating significant savings from compact fluorescent light bulbs, a major source of electricity savings in nearly all utility energy-efficiency programs.
Analysis of the per-unit cost of energy savings is another way to examine the effects of expenditure caps. For example, in Illinois the allowed expenditure limits in conjunction with the increasing annual saving targets results in an average, per-unit budget that begins at approximately 18 cents per first-year kWh saved in 2010, but decreases to 8 cents in 2016 for the typical utility ( i.e., a weighted average of 10 cents over the performance period). The EIA data, on the other hand, show that utilities approaching 2 percent savings tend to spend between 20 and 30 cents per kWh, more than the Illinois limits, particularly by 2016 ( see Figure 3 ).
Too Many Objectives
In 2008, Pennsylvania enacted Act 129 (the Act), establishing a four-year EERS. The law requires each electric distribution company with at least 100,000 customers 10 to reduce energy consumption by at least 1 percent by May 31, 2011, relative to 2009-2010 retail electricity sales, phasing to 3 percent by May 31, 2013. Peak demand also must be reduced by 4.5 percent, on average, during the highest 100 hours of the utility's load by May 31, 2013. Also, the law

It's seven pm. you've just finished an intense day of biking through the hills of Tuscany. You're exhausted but invigorated by the complete high of accomplishment. How do you celebrate? By diving into an incredible bowl of fresh pasta with homemade tomato sauce, paired with a glass of local chianti. With the first bite, you finally understand the meaning of true Italian food, and wonder why you ever wasted your time with the store bought (or restaurant bought) stuff from the United States.
Ok, perhaps I'm being slightly harsh on American-Italian food, but I am not remotely over-exaggerating the unbelievable tastes your palate will experience on your Austin-Lehman Tuscany bike tour. Italy, and Tuscany in particular, is a stunningly beautiful part of the world. It is steeped in rich culture and history, and food plays a very large part of that. As you can probably tell, it happens to be one of my favorite parts about the country. Personally, I've had some of the best meals of my life in Italy, one of which was at an intimate, candle lit enoteca (wine bar) in Siena. It had barrel-vaulted ceilings and a menu resplendent with Italian delicacies. I ordered a glass of wine from the Sangiovese region of Tuscany. (I later learned that it was a mere 50 miles away from where I was sitting, and that the style of wine dated back to the fourteenth century.) I turned my attention to the menu, and my eyes lighted on the gnocchi. This wasn't just any gnocchi… it had a porcini sauce and was topped with local wild boar. I was sold. I'm a pretty adventurous eater, and am always game to try local specialties. After seeing several boar heads in the shops across Tuscany, I couldn't resist the chance to try it.
Quite frankly, my writing skills are not adequate enough to give this meal its dues, but I will do my best. First of all, gnocchi (or pasta filled with potato) is small in Italy (unlike most places that I've encountered it in the US.) It is the perfect bite. Add fresh mushrooms and succulent boar to that, and when I say the perfect bite, it's no joke. The wild boar was beyond expectations. It was incredibly tender, and not as sweet as pork typically is, the flavor was out of this world. I hope to one day return to Tuscany and try the delicacy again. Until then, I'll always consider it one of my best meals ever!
Happy travels,
