European Parliament VOTES to BREAK UP GOOGLE. Er, OK then

France KICKS UK into THIRD PLACE for public Wi-Fi hotspots
Re: Who cares?
Agreed: by the time you've eliminated those which require the elaborate sign-up dance, and the elaborate login dance, and the give-us-your-money dance, and those which are broken because the host doesn't know how to maintain the system, and those where the connection is so slow as to be useless, and those which require me to receive a verification text message on my data-only tablet, and those that are time-limited, what's left is far more often a hindrance than a help.

Ofcom: UK beats the US... in race to buy online tat
Re: Que?
The weird thing is my brain substituted 'month' for 'week' automatically, and I couldn't understand the original problem until I read AC's reply.

Londoners in mass test of telly tech savvy as 4G filters mailed out
I read it to mean that 63% of primary TVs (living room) are watching via satellite (whether that be Sky or Freesat) or cable. Seems high to me, but it at least makes sense in principle. Most secondary TVs (bedrooms, kitchens, etc.) are then still using Freeview, which is where the wording of the article perhaps becomes loose.
The supercomputers LIED: UK rainfall is rising, but won't drown our phones
Re: Not wanting to pour cold water on a good rant....
Not quite.
The data shows the increase (or decrease) in extreme rainfall events. Ofcom couldn't care less about how often it rains or the total rainfall, but extremely heavy rain is what it is apparently interested in.
The data show that the heaviest rainfall rates (the 0.01% of top rainfall rates) have generally got heavier, and therefore more likely to interfere with communications (among other problems).
Belgian boffins find colossal meteorite
Re: Why...
If a bit of rock is found on the surface of the ice in Antarctica (or at any rate in an intelligently chosen subset of such locations), it is a meteorite, pretty much guaranteed. And rocks show on ice very well. And not many people about. And in places the ability to survey large areas with relative ease.
Taken together, they make it an ideal hunting ground. Compare temperate zones where there are rocks everywhere, lots of forest and private land, etc.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite review
Still no buttons
Still no page-turning buttons on these new Kindles. Why? Sure, the touch-screen interface is great for navigation, etc., but I spend very little time navigating, and most of the time reading. The page-turn buttons on my Kindle Keyboard get pressed thousands of times a week. Surely the cost of including real page-turn buttons in addition to the touchscreen would be tiny. The focus should be on making the reading experience perfect. That "horribly intrusive" flash to refresh the screen bothers me not one jot - but having to stick my thumb in front of the text every page seems a lot more intrusive and is definitely a retrograde step.

Shock sales surge sends Amazon shares soaring

I don't think there is any requirement for a shock to be nasty, just surprising, though they often go together.

Amazon Kindle Touch touches down early
Touch easier?
Agree with all of that, but actually I spent 95% of the time on my Kindle reading books (who'd have guessed it?) and much prefer the handily placed buttons for page advance than moving a finger over the screen and back every page. Each to their own, but retaining the page advance buttons on the touch versions would have seemed to have kept the best of both worlds.
Browsium rescues HMRC from IE6 – and multimillion-pound bill
Extended support
I was under the impression that XP SP3 extended support ends in 2014, not 2012:
Hold on a sec - leap seconds granted a last-minute reprieve
But the time mid-way between sunrise and sunset or when the sun is at its highest in the sky isn't fixed, either, but varies considerably (more than 30 minutes) during the course of the year.
Gov: DAB must battle on, despite being old and rubbish
Anachronistic perhaps, but sounds terrible?
My new car has a wonderful analogue radio rather than the DAB one I had in my previous car. The FM quality is similar or worse than DAB, and the MW & LW quality much worse. And the choice of stations is reduced.
Play.com swallowed by Rakuten
Changing the tax law costs virtually nothing - from the perspective of the Treasury, the ROI on such a move is vast.
£130m here, £130m there, pretty soon you're talking serious money.
I don't buy the "because someone's been profligate with public money in one area (many areas) we can therefore ignore everything else" argument. Improving procurement procedures so that we get what we need (not more and not less) for the right price is _much_ more difficult than changing the tax law.
As a play.com customer I find it hard to justify such a loophole.
Local radio stations band together against DAB
I refer you to my comment about aerials not being up to the job. I get an uninterrupted signal between the A14 and Diss; can't comment about further north.
DAB is excellent
Well, not quite, but I thought I'd try to introduce a little balance.
I have DAB in the car and the range of stations available to me in rural Suffolk is vastly superior to FM - I can actually find things I want to listen to. Possibly the bit rate is poor but I'm afraid I can't tell: it sounds the same as FM most of the time and better the rest.
I have driven 120,000 miles in the car and have had barely a handful of signal dropouts on national stations. And listening to Test Match Special on Five Live Sports Extra is pleasant and practical - compare with the same programme on Radio 4 long wave where the quality in the car is hideous and I used to get deafened every time I went under a high voltage cable.
Are too many DAB radios being sold with aerials that aren't up to the job?
Ten years after the Twin Towers: What's the Reg angle?

ISS 'naut shoots first ever 3D footage in space
Not just you
In my admittedly limited experience, I find the glasses uncomfortable to wear over my prescription glasses, find the outcome fuzzy even if occasionally impressive, and am generally underwhelmed.
Last time I went to the cinema I had pre-purchased 2D tickets for a film with a 3D option - the showing of the 2D version was full so it was 3D or nothing for latecomers.

Agreed - I've always seen it as a car.
Orange signals mobile broadband tariff tweaks
"Tweaks"? Surely some mistake. What they meant was "price increases".
I'm on a £7.50/mo plan with Orange which gives me 1Gb a month, which is more than adequate for my occasional use. Is this now available as "Microscopic" or would I have to pay 33% more for "Small" to get less?
Spam volumes show massive drop - but why?
Something odd in the maths
"Symantec reports that junk mail volumes that reached a high of 230 billion spam messages per day in July 2010, 90 per cent of all email traffic, are down to 39.2 billion messages per day, 72.9 per cent of all email."
So in July 2010, total email was 230 / 0.9 = 256 billion
Now, total email is 39.2 / 0.729 = 54 billion.
Email volumes have not dropped by 80%. Shurely some mishtake.

Firefox wraps its gums around the iPhone
Bother away...
And if you don't have MobileMe (and don't want to pay for it)?

Beeb deploys ISS as unit of measurement

Option Brief: Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) calls traded at roughly three times the rate of puts on Friday. Not surprisingly, nine of the 10 most active strikes were calls. Assuming the top position was the July 24 strike, which saw roughly 17,100 contracts change hands.
The majority of the volume at the in-the-money strike crossed the tape at the ask price, suggesting they were bought. In addition, implied volatility ticked higher, open interest added nearly 11,800 positions over the weekend, and data from the International Securities Exchange (ISE) confirms considerable buy-to-open activity.
As alluded to earlier, with MU shares trading 1.5% higher today at $26.69, Friday's most active contract is already in the money. However, in order to profit from their bets at options expiration -- the evening of Friday, July 18 -- the option bulls need the stock to rally past breakeven at $27.64 (strike plus the volume-weighted average price of $3.64).
If Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) can make it to that level, it would represent a new 12-year high for the stock. On the charts, the shares certainly look capable of such a move. MU has outperformed the broader S&P 500 Index (SPX) by 15.5 percentage points in the last month, and is up roughly 175% year-over-year.

How to Make a Bow Tie
Making a bow tie for yourself is much better than buying a new expensive one, especially if you're making a costume for Halloween or a stage production. Besides, your bow will be different from others and will make you look special. To make a bow tie, follow these instructions.
Note: For instructions on tying a bow tie, read How to Tie a Bow Tie .
1Find a piece of thick fabric. If you don't want to buy any, use material from unwanted clothes such as denim jeans, a floral dress, etc.Ad
2Cut the fabric into a shape of a rectangle. The size of this will depend on how big you want your bow to be. Usually, it's good to cut it to a height of 6in / 15cm (which will later be folded over and bunched in the center) and a length of around 4.5in / 11.5cm (just over what will be the final length of the bow tie. If you want to use a different size of fabric, test it by folding it in half, scrunching it into a bow, and taking into account the small trim that will be lost once you sew/hide the edges.
3Form the bow. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise – inside-out if applicable – and sew the three sides of the rectangle, leaving about 1 inch not sewn. Turn the piece inside-out through the hole, then close the hole with a few small, inconspicuous stitches (like slip stitches) if necessary.
4Secure the bow shape. Find the center of the rectangle and push the top and the bottom of the fabric into a bow-like shape. Sew it down the middle to hold it in place. If you'd like to hide the stitching, sew a small band around the middle.
5Add a rubber elastic at the back of the bow. Measure a length of elastic that will fit comfortably around your neck, then sew the center of the elastic to the center of the back of the bow.
6Test-sew a button at one end of the elastic and sew a buttonhole at the other. This will let you secure the band around your neck. To sew a buttonhole, create a slit in the elastic that the button fits through snugly and sew loops around the edges to prevent them from unraveling.
7Check for size. If the fit is good, sew the button on permanently. You may also want to sew loops over both ends of the elastic to prevent them from unraveling.Ad
We could really use your help!
Google Chrome?
home improvement?
fashion shows?
- Great for Doctor Who fans.
- Sew it nicely so that it looks professional.
- The smaller the buttons, the better.
- Sew the middle part nice and firmly.
- Try sewing a hem around the edges of the bow (before sewing the middle together) for a finished look.
Things You'll Need
- Needle and thread/sewing machine
- Suitable fabric to make your bow tie
- Ruler for measurement
- Buttons
- Scissors for cutting fabric
- Rubber

TMS International,
Tube City IMS,
Daniel Rosati,
steel mill services,
Leanna Orr
NEW YORK TMS International Corp., parent of Tube City IMS Corp., has landed new steel mill service contracts in the United States and abroad worth $91 million over the life of the contracts.
The Pittsburgh-based mill services provider and scrap broker signed a deal with an undisclosed mill in Tennessee and expanded its relationship with ThyssenKrupp Stainless USA Inc. in Alabama, as well as with mills in France, Mexico, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates.
Daniel Rosati, chief financial officer of TMS, told AMM the contract results "were consistent, and steady with the last couple of years," adding that he is bullish about growth potential in the mill services sector, even in the United States, where TMS is a market leader.
"Were seeing growth in best practices for outsourcing steel mill services on a global scale," he said. "There are opportunities for us in the mature outsourcing system here at home and the fast-expanding sector abroad. And we go anywhere."
TMSs deal with the Tennessee mill, which began this quarter, includes scrap and slag handling services, metal recovery and slag sales. The contract, along with the upgraded ThyssenKrupp deal, makes up the bulk of TMSs new contract value, according to Rosati.
Rosati gave credit for the numerous expanded contracts to successfully up-selling existing customers to a broader range of services. For instance, ThyssenKrupps Calvert, Ala., mill upgraded its existing slag recovery arrangement to include scrap receiving, inspection, handling and charge bucket loading starting in early 2013, he said.
Mills in Monterrey and Monclova, Mexico, chose to outsource internal transportation and logistics for intermediary and finished products to TMS.
Revenue rose 12.5 percent in TMSs first quarter, totaling nearly $747 million, but net income plunged 98.2 percent to just $113,000 due to costly debt refinancing (AMM, May 8). TMS is scheduled to release its second-quarter results Aug. 2.

Written by Stephen Levine Friday, 13 September 2013 00:00
At any given moment, one out of every 10 drivers on the streets of New Hyde Park is texting, talking or otherwise engaged with a handheld cellphone. This widespread disregard for the law as well as the safety of our children and neighbors is the startling finding of a study conducted by the New Hyde Park Illustrated News. Earlier this month, our reporters observed 300 cars on New Hyde Park Road at various times of day, and found 42 of the drivers blatantly brandishing their phones.
"It creates such a hazard," Lakeville Estates Civic Association President Marianna Wohlgemuth said. "I see it all the time. I amazed at how selfish [drivers] are because nothing can be that important to endanger your life. It's as bad as driving while drunk to me."
And New Hyde Park is not alone. Identical studies conducted by our reporters in other Nassau County communities showed up to 13 percent of drivers with phone in hand (Great Neck), but no fewer than 9.7 percent in Jericho and Port Washington.
"Texting and driving has become one of the newest dangers," said Christopher Mistron of Nassau County Traffic and Safety Department. "A simple 'How are you?" can steer drivers off the road and increases the possibility of a crash greatly."
Nationally, deaths from cellphone-related auto crashes have surpassed those involving alcohol—3,000 per year compared to 2,700—and lead to 330,000 injuries per year, according to the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis.
"Texting while driving is unique in that it uses both of your hands and your eyes, all of which are needed for driving," said Robert Sinclair Jr., manager of media relations for AAA New York. "Some people think they can get away with doing it briefly but that's not the case."
A recent report from the Washington, D.C.-based AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety underscored that point, showing that even a hands-free phone impairs a driver's ability to see danger and react. In the AAA study, cognitive distraction expert Dr. David Strayer and a team from the University of Utah measured brain waves and eye movements to assess shifts in drivers' mental workloads when they attempted to multi-task. Cameras inside the cars tracked eye and head movement, while another mechanism recorded the motorists' reaction time and an electroencephalographic skull cap charted brain activity.
"These findings reinforce previous research that hands-free is not risk-free," said Peter Kissinger, who heads the foundation. "Increased mental workload and cognitive distractions can lead to a type of tunnel vision or inattention blindness where motorists don't see potential hazards right in front of them."
That is, the driver not only misses much of what's ahead, but also neglects to look in the side and rearview mirrors.
"Everything has to be instant today and it's costing people their lives or risking serious injury," Wohlgemuth stated. "Back in the day, we had to rely on phones before going out. Now, it's just an onslaught of information people need at their fingertips."
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has advocated stricter laws since 2011, when he signed legislation making distracted driving a primary traffic offense, which allows police to pull a driver over purely for handheld cellphone use behind the wheel. More recently, Cuomo deployed troopers in Concealed Identity Traffic Enforcement (CITE) vehicles to patrol highways statewide and increased the penalty for texting from three to five points on a license.
"Drivers are being selfish, worrying about who's texting them or who's emailing them, when they should be concentrating on the road," said Wohlgemuth. "Turn off your phone when you get in the car."
Nonetheless, for many, the urge to respond to a buzzing phone is automatic, despite the life and death implications of staying focused when controlling several thousand pounds of steel traveling upwards of 88 feet per second at 60 miles per hour.
"Nothing is so important to take away from driving," said Sinclair. "People who think they can text and drive...it's insanity."
And, according to experts, the insanity is spreading.
"It has crossed over to every age group," said Mistron, "although it may be more prevalent in inexperienced drivers because they think they can get away with it."
Cohen's Children Medical Center in New Hyde Park analyzed a survey the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted of 15,000 geographically and demographically diverse high school students, which included questions about texting. The Cohen Center team examined the rate of texting while driving among teens, how this behavior correlates with other risky behaviors, and to what extent laws make a difference.
Their conclusions? Nearly half of all teenagers text and drive.
"Unfortunately kids are texting like crazy because its second nature to teenagers these days," said Dr. Andrew Adesman, chief of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at Cohen. "They fail to appreciate the risks associated with texting while driving."
According to Dr. Adesman, the rising wave in accidents by teenagers is a "perfect storm." Teenagers are the newest and most inexperienced drivers, and adding a distraction like texting only increases the likelihood of a crash.
Unfortunately Dr. Adesman found that there is virtually no difference in texting rates between states that have laws prohibiting it and those that don't, which seems to prove that the laws aren't working.
"You can legislate up the wazoo, but people still have to comply," said Sinclair. "Unfortunately, people still don't get it."
While legislation doesn't seem to be a deterrent, many advocates, including Dr. Adesman, look to the cellphone manufacturers to help make the difference.
"There should be a technological solution to a technological problem," he said, adding that there is an app that immobilizes the phone's texting feature at speeds above 10 miles per hour.

Despite a disappointing playoff loss against the Wantagh Warriors, Sewanhaka Indians Head Coach George Kasimatis, is pleased with his football team's season.
"I'm proud of my team," he said. "But you are never satisfied unless you win the whole thing."
The Indians faced a big challenge this year, moving up into Conference II left them as the new kids on the block, unfamiliar with the teams they would be going against.
Kasimatis will have a tall task next year replacing graduating seniors, which made up most of his starting lineup. Kasimatis said most of the offensive line, such as Danny Gianotti, Adrian Gonzalez and Louis Segarra III, and the defensive line, such as Justin Alexandre, Peter LaTorre and Peter Militano are seniors, many of which have started multiple years for him.

The fifth seeded Sewanhaka Indians traveled to Wantagh to take on the fourth seeded Wantagh Warriors on Friday, Nov. 7 for its opening playoff game.
The Indians opened the game sluggish on offense, and were held in check throughout the first quarter. The Indians defense did its best to keep the team within striking distance, but field position form shaky special teams play, put them in a difficult position.
Warriors running back Dylan Beckwith, was able to punch in a 15-yard touchdown run, to give the Warriors a one score lead after the first quarter.

2013 Government Finance Officers Association Award
We were pleased to learn from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada this week that the Village's Comprehensive Annual Finance Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 earned a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.
The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting. This is the eighteenth consecutive year that the Village has received this national recognition. Special thanks are due to Village Auditor James Olivo and Deputy Village Treasurer Frank Kelly.
Aggressive Driving Enforcement Program
The Garden City Police Department is continuing its aggressive driving crackdown. Motorists are encouraged to use caution when changing lanes, unsafe lane changing is considered an aggressive driving violation, and is a very common cause of traffic accidents particularly during high volume times such as rush hour. Motorists should only enter another lane after carefully checking their surroundings and always use their signal when changing lanes or turning. In many cases, a vehicle weaving in and out of traffic is not directly involved in an accident but, causes other motorists to swerve out of the way, resulting in accidents with other vehicles.
In Preparation For Storms
PSEG of Long Island has some good information on its website with regard to storms and it is clear that the level of preparation before severe weather hits can determine the level of your comfort and safety after the storm. It is a good idea to think ahead and to be prepared so that if your basic services such as water, gas, electricity or telephones are cut off, you will have some basic items handy. Its Storm Center at www.psegliny.com/page.cfm/CustomerService/StormCenterhttp://www.lipower.org/stormcenter can help you before, during and after a power outage. PSEG suggests that the following items be on hand in your emergency supply kit:
• Battery-powered radio, extra batteries, flashlight and extra batteries
• First Aid Kit
• Whistle to signal for help
• Dust mask or cotton t-shirt to help filter the air
• Moist towelettes for sanitation
• Wrench or pliers to turn off burst water utilities
• Can opener for food
• Plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place
• Infant formula and diapers, if you have an infant
• Garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
For more information about emergency preparedness and real-time outage data, visit their Storm Center above. Most importantly, if your power goes out, let PSEG know right away by phone 1-800-490-0075. If you or a family member depends upon life support equipment, register for its Critical Care Program by calling 1-800-490-0075. This does not guarantee priority during restoration efforts. Over the next few weeks, I will be including information in this column from PSEG of Long Island with regard to preparation for storms.
Board Of Trustees Summer Meeting Schedule
The next meeting of the board of trustees will be on Thursday, Sept. 18 at 8 p.m. in the boardroom at village hall. I encourage all residents to attend board of trustees meetings so as to be thoroughly informed of village issues from a first-hand perspective. I hope to see you at a board meeting.

Hawaiian Sunset Cake
This three-layer orange cake is pretty enough for company, but it's so simple to fix that you'll find yourself making it all the time. A boxed mix keeps it convenient while the pineapple-coconut filling makes it a crowd-pleaser. -Kara De la vega, Suisun City, California

Taylor Phinney rounds a curve on his way to finishing first in his race in this file picture.Photo by Erin O. Smith.
Taylor Phinney brought a lot of pressure into Saturday's race at the Volkswagen USA Cycling Professional Time Trial Championships at the Chattanooga Volkswagen plant — literally carrying some of it in a box.
He was the clear favorite Saturday after winning the same event in 2010 in Greenville, S.C., and producing a string of solid performances that included a fourth-place finish at the 2012 Olympic time trial in London and wins this season in the Dubai Tour and stage five of the Amgen Tour of California just over a week ago.
But perhaps the biggest motivating factor was an unopened box in his hotel room -- a box containing a national champion's Stars and Stripes skinsuit he had made.
"You guys might hate me when I say this, but I actually have it already," the BMC Racing rider said when asked about his national champions racing kit after finishing 51 seconds ahead of defending champion Tom Zirbel to win the title. "I didn't trust them to make a cool one, and I have to go straight to France on Tuesday [for a race]. So I was like 'We'll just have this set up for a template for future years if I don't win this year.'"
Phinney's decision proved wise, as he blew through the 19-mile course in 37 minutes and 48 seconds, well ahead of Zirbel in second and 5-Hour Energy rider David Williams in third place.
Zirbel hung tough in the first of two laps on the 9.5-mile course, trailing Phinney by just 13 seconds at the split.
"I felt like I was still in it at that point," the Team Optum rider said. "But for whatever reason I fell apart in the second lap. I didn't realized it until I was going through the corners a lot slower than the first time through.
"My effort was there, but I just didn't have the legs in the second lap."
Phinney said he was feeling the pressure as the race favorite, a position he normally isn't in -- although that is likely to change internationally if he continues to ride like he did Saturday.
"I was confident going into today, but I was actually super nervous," he said. "It's one of the first time trials that I've gone into where I've been an overwhelming favorite. I still can play the underdog card in all the [international] time trials that I do.
"This was the first one where everyone was looking at me, so I was quite happy to pull it off."
For Williams, a continental pro racer whose team only races domestically, the third-place finish was a chance for him to gauge his skills against riders talented enough to compete in Europe on cycling's top level.
"It was a real honor to race guys like Taylor and Tom, and to have them behind me was definitely a huge motivational factor," he said at the postrace news conference. "It's a wonderful thing to have the good guys here [at nationals]."
Now Phinney can finally try on his new skinsuit bearing the Stars and Stripes as the U.S. time trial champion after earning the specially designed uniform that has been waiting for him in his hotel in downtown Chattanooga.
"It is there in my room, but I didn't open the box," he said, laughing. "If I didn't win, I was going to throw the box away or burn it."

News groups fight to open Fla. teen shooting files
Published: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 1:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 1:50 p.m.
ORLANDO — A group of news organizations in Florida, including The Associated Press, on Monday filed a challenge to the sealing of records in the criminal case of a neighborhood watch volunteer charged with killing an unarmed teenager.
The news organizations filed a motion in Seminole County Circuit Court in an effort that is being led by The Miami Herald.
Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, last week asked that the records be sealed. No hearing date for the media's motion was immediately set.
Records such as full police reports, autopsy reports and transcripts of witness interviews are normally public under Florida law.
The motion by the news organizations says Zimmerman's case doesn't meet the standards that are typically used to create an exemption to those laws. Those standards allow the sealing of records if their public release would create an imminent threat to the administration of justice, if there are no alternatives for protecting a defendant's right to a fair trial and if closing the records protects the rights of the person being tried.
"The closure order and the manner in which it was entered are contrary to law," the media organizations said in the motion.
A spokeswoman for the special prosecutor in the case said her office was reviewing the media motion but had no immediate comment. O'Mara didn't immediately return an email seeking comment.
Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder last week for fatally shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in a gated community in Sanford, near Orlando. He is pleading not guilty and says he acted in self-defense.
The delay in an arrest for almost a month and a half inspired protests nationwide.

Adventure Activities to do at Lewis and Clark Trail State Park
After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, President Thomas Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark out with a group to discover the west. Beginning at the Illinois/Missouri border and ending at the mouth of the Columbia River in Northwest Oregon, Lewis and Clark led the Corps of Discovery on a two-year expedition from 1804-1806. The path they blazed is now protected and governed by the National Park Service. When you follow the trail, which is not entirely suitable for hiking these days, you will come across the town of Dayton, Washington. There you will find a 37-acre park named after the brave expeditionists. At the Lewis and Clark Trail State Park, you can channel your inner explorer and find adventure in a myriad of ways, just like the famous duo did centuries ago.

Washington Lighthouses to See and Photograph
Often times a debate stems from whether or not a photographer should be shooting with a Nikon or a Canon. Which camera is the best value for the money? Which one is compatible with the better quality lenses? Which one has the best combination of megapixels, sensor size, noise reduction, and ISO levels? The conversation can go on for hours with brand loyalists refusing to back down. Fortunately, there is no debate regarding the magnificence of the many Washington lighthouses. That means you can bring whatever camera you want and still be in awe while you are taking your photos. Here are a few that we think you should check out next time you visit The Evergreen State.

You Need to See these New Mexico Attractions
New Mexico became the 47th state just over 100 years ago in 1912.

The capital city of Santa Fe and the most populated city of Albuquerque are just two of the many places in the state that certainly hold true to the Enchantment title given to the state. When you are visiting, there are several New Mexico attractions that you must see. A few of those include taking a trip to Canyon Road in Santa Fe and riding an aerial tram at the Sandia Peak Tramway.

Vacation of a Lifetime: Bill & Pam O'Brien
The following blog was written by Bill & Pam O'Brien.
Our vacation of a lifetime began at the Lafayette Inn in Easton, PA. We did not have to travel too far from home to visit this bed and breakfast – about 11 miles! We were greeted at the front desk by Val who checked us in. From there we went to our beautiful two-room suite. The main room had a queen size bed and a fireplace. Off of this room was a sitting room with a trundle bed. The balcony could be accessed from this room, but we didn't get to utilize it due to the extremely cold weather.

Reasons to Visit Oregon Coast Aquarium
Situated in the Pacific Northwest, Oregon is home to some of the coolest nature the country has to offer. Especially exciting is the more than 360 miles of coastline that borders the Pacific Ocean. One of the jewels of the state is the Oregon Coast Aquarium, which more than does its part to capture the beauty and preserve the nature of the region. Located just minutes away from the ocean on Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon, the Oregon Coast Aquarium is an absolute must-see for anyone visiting the western part of the state.

Originally written on PPR Fantasy Football | Last updated 11/18/14
There was a lot to take away from the recent news that the Philadelphia Eagles re-signed embattled starting quarterback Michael Vick to a one-year deal to secure his return for the 2013 NFL season, but for fantasy owners the take away is simple, Vick, despite his struggles and injury history, has sleeper potential for the 2013 fantasy season. Now this is not to stay that Vick should be drafted as a starting quarterback in any fantasy football league because that's not the case. There is far too much risk to invest an early or even a mid-round draft choice because at this point, there is still no guarantee he will be on the Eagles opening-day roster. The only details released about the one-year restructure of Vick's contract is that the former No.1 overall pick can earn up to $10 million with incentives in 2013. But we have not heard what the guaranteed money is, which is important. Under Vick's old contract, he was due $3 million by the Eagles, whether he was on the opening day r...

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was wrong to decide to widely deploy whole body scanners in airports without first issuing a proposed rule and giving the public a chance to comment. That's the judgment of a three-judge circuit court panel in the case Electronic Privacy Information Center v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 10-1157, U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (Washington), reports Bloomberg. But, as Thomson Reuters notes, "The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the machines, known as Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT), were not an unconstitutional search and declined to halt their use despite TSA's failure to follow proper procedure." The panel said that the TSA may, therefore, continue to use the scanners while it now complies with the requirement to go through the rule-making process.

Privatization of mining created an efficient economy with lots of money and jobs for everyone, even in a bone-dry desert. Privatization of pensions created a vast pool of money to support Chile´s superb desert infrastructure - great roads, great bridges great piped in water in the world´s dryest desert, great services.This is the Chilean Model Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich spoke of during the 2012 campaign. It´s time to revisit it, so we can have the same results come the next Big One.

When It's About Money: Don't just save for your child's education
India Infoline News Service / 08:59, Sep 15, 2014
Many a times parents overlook other goals as they are too busy focusing on just one goal, that is on their child's education. They are too emotionally involved in achieving this particular goal that they forget planning for their retirement and saving for other emergencies.

I'm brewing a tripel right now and about 10% of the grain bill is sugar. I thought I had really whiffed on my pre-boil gravity, but now I'm noticing that if I remove the sugars from my boil additions in BS, the calculated pre-boil gravity goes down. This is incorrect, no? My pre-boil gravity shouldn't change if I'm futzing with boil addition sugars, so is this just a program flaw? I'd sure like that, since it would mean I'm, on target with my pre-boil gravity. Thoughts?
The pre-boil gravity should be comprised of sugars yielded from the mash. It must be a bug that adding sugars during the boil is changing the pre-boil gravity. I think you're correct.
Draft 1: Lightly smoked Weizen
Draft 2: Belgian Wit
Draft 3: Rauchbier
Primary 1: German Scwarzbier
Primary 2:
On Deck: Belgian Brown Ale, Pale Ale, Stout
Hit my SG dead on, looks like this is a glitch in BS 2.0, including the boil sugars into the pre-boil gravity, despite the fact that they're obviously not pre-boil. Something to keep in mind when using it if you measure the gravity pre-boil to make sure you're on track. I almost added a pound of DME, which would have led to a wayyyyy too strong tripel.
Did you report it to the vendor?
I noticed the exact same thing. I brewed a PM on Nov. 5th and my pre-boil SG was way under what BS had said it should be. Apparently it was adding my DME and LME additions into the mash calculations. I for a few minutes I thought I had really screwed something up.
I just experienced the same issue with BS 2.0, it does appear to calculate any DME or sugar addition in the Pre-Boil gravity. I added some DME to adjust my gravity at pre-boild and ended up with a SG about 8 points higher.
same thing happened to me...boy was I hot when i was .010 under pre boil! luckly I figured that out before I "fixed" with DME

Wind turbines are an expensive investment and once they're up, they're up. An article from last year's COMSOL News points to how modeling can also help in remedying problems, if it's too late to have built the perfect design from the beginning. With wind turbines, noise is of course the problem.Read more ⇢
Phil Kinnane | March 22, 2012
When it rains, it pours. Someone reading the previous blog posts I have been writing about wind turbines, sent me the following link to an article written in the Journal of Windpower Engineering & Development. This is a great piece that discusses the topic of lightning strikes and how their decommissioning of turbine blades affects whole wind farms. The author, Melanie Scott, presents a software that analyzes the prevalence of probable lightning strikes to wind farms based on both historical […]Read more ⇢
Phil Kinnane | March 19, 2012
While you may think that the prevalence of lightning strikes, would be a reason for not wanting wind turbines in your backyard, noise is apparently another reason. While this has become less of a problem in recent years, the noise is still there, and is always there whenever the wind blows.Read more ⇢
Phil Kinnane | March 16, 2012
Following up on my previous blog post about protecting wind turbines from lightning strikes, I got to thinking about other modeling aspects of wind turbines. Structural mechanics is of course important, and we have a couple of models that center on this.Read more ⇢

Walking around O'Hare during a long layover, I walked into one of the Duty Free shops and started to try some of the fragrances that I had not seen before. I threw away all the sample slips that I did not like, but this one stayed with me. I kept smelling the sample and could not get it out of my mind. It smells fresh, clean, and luxurious. It was expensive. I am thankful that FragranceX carries it. I just received it and cannot say enough about how excited I am to wear it.

What an exquisite scent!! It seems to lightly blend floral, citrus and just a tiny tad of the woody/earthy scent. If you like Vanitas, then I am pretty sure you'll enjoy this scent, too. It really is very beautiful.

Comments about Versace Versense Perfume:
I was disappointed that it really does not have the same smell as its' body lotion. It is so light you don't feel like you are wearing anything. I have been looking for this scent for a long time as I had the cream but the cologne is not anywhere near the cream smell. I love Versace but I am not so happy with this scent........disappointed.......

PGA TOUR Highlights
With just five PGA TOUR starts, enjoyed a tremendous season on the Champions Tour, netting three wins in 21 starts. Collected his first Charles Schwab Cup as well, holding off Mark Calcavecchia by just 74 points at the season's final event. Took the Schwab Cup lead after the second event of the season (Allianz Championship) and never relinquished it...Was also the circuit's only $2-million man, earning the Arnold Palmer Award with a personal-best $2,081,526...Along with John Cook, led the Champions Tour with three victories and claimed all three of his wins within the first seven of his 21 starts...Captured first win in 2011 when he sank a 6-foot birdie putt on the final hole to defeat Jeff Sluman and Rod Spittle at the Allianz Championship in Boca Raton. Birdied two of the final three holes to get into the overtime session...Recorded a four-stroke victory over Jeff Sluman, Nick Price and David Frost at the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic, his fourth overall title on the Champions Tour and second in a span of four starts in 2011. Win near Biloxi came 20 years after he claimed a title on the old Ben Hogan Tour at nearby Windance CC in Gulfport, MS. Shot a Fallen Oak course-record 64 in the second round to take the 36-hole lead and then used three birdies on the front nine on Sunday to pull away from the field. Final-round 69 at Fallen Oak was his 12th consecutive sub-70 score, tying him for second with Fred Couples for second on the all-time list of consecutive sub-70 rounds, one short of Hale Irwin's record...Won his second Champions Tour major championship and his third title of the season when he defeated Peter Senior in a two-hole playoff at the Regions Tradition at Shoal Creek. Had started the day two strokes behind 54-hole leader Mark Calcavecchia. Posted a bogey-free, 3-under-par 69 to get into the playoff. After getting up and down on the first extra hole, he two-putted from 21 feet for the win when Senior missed a 5-footer to extend the playoff. The win put him over the $1-million mark in season earnings in just his seventh start. Both of his major titles have now come in playoffs. Played his final 27 holes at Shoal Creek without a bogey, and he did not have a three-putt during the week...Started season with a runner-up finish to John Cook at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai. Closed with a final-round 64 that included a 6-under-par 30 on the back nine. Still finished two strokes back of Cook...Selected as the Champions Tour's Player of the Month for January-February...In his first appearance in his native Minnesota as a Champions Tour member, was T2 at the 3M Championship, one stroke back of Jay Haas...Teamed with Corey Pavin to finish T3 at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf...Rebounded from an opening-round 73 to finish fourth at the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship at Westchester CC...On the PGA TOUR, finished T22 at the British Open at Royal St. George's, his fifth consecutive made cut in that event...Shot rounds of 66-69 on the weekend to finish T13 at the Mayakoba Golf Classic.

1-- Memorial Tournament, Colonial National Invitation, British Open Championship, THE TOUR Championship, Phoenix Open.
Career Highlights
2010: Highlight of his year came in May when he won his first individual Champions Tour title in a one-hole playoff against David Frost and Fred Couples at the Senior PGA Championship at the Colorado GC. Posted an impressive, 4-under-par 68 in windy conditions to open the event and then followed with successive 71s in his next three rounds to secure a berth in the playoff. Ended the playoff on the first extra hole with a par after both Frost and Couples had made double bogeys. Was the only player in the field to post four consecutive sub-par rounds. The victory earned him a $360,000 first prize as well as a berth later in the year in the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits...Made a run for a second major title when he held a two-stroke lead after 54 holes at the JELD-WEN Tradition, but closed with a 1-over-par 73 to eventually finish T4...Made his first Champions Tour appearance at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai and was solo fourth after trailing Tom Watson by three strokes through two rounds. Made two of the three total birdies on the par-3 fifth hole at Hualalai...Was one of several players tied for the lead early in the final round of the Allianz Championship and was in contention midway through the back nine until a double bogey at No. 15 led to a T5 in Boca Raton...Was among the 36-hole leaders at the Toshiba Classic and was on the leaderboard for much of the final two rounds in Newport Beach before eventually finishing T3...Made a hole in one at the 2010 PGA Championship, acing the 217-yard, 17th hole at Whistling Straits in Round 3. Eventually finished T55 in the championship at 2-over par. 2009: Had a successful debut on the Champions Tour in April. Teamed with Bernhard Langer to win the title at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf in a two-hole playoff with Jeff Sluman and Craig Stadler. After Langer and Stadler traded 45-foot birdie putts on the first extra hole, Lehman made a par on the second hole to claim the title for his team. The victory made him the 13th player to win his Champions Tour debut and also made him the third of five players (Ron Streck, Keith Fergus, Gary Hallberg and Olin Browne the others) to have won on all three Tours...Best effort in a stroke-play event came in early September when he was T3 at the Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach. Second-round 65 at Del Monte GC moved him into contention but a final-round 73 ended his chances...In mid-October, posted three consecutive sub-par rounds on the Tournament Course at The Woodlands and was T4 at the Administaff Small Business Classic near Houston...Performance secured a spot in the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship for the top-30 money-winners, but he was unable to compete following the death of his father during tournament week...Was also T8 at the U.S. Senior Open at Crooked Stick GC in August as well as the JELD-WEN Tradition...Was the 54-hole leader at the PGA TOUR's Transitions Championship after three rounds in the 60s, his first third-round lead in more than four years.

We use only all natural cleaning agents, which help maintain a healthier indoor environment for your family by removing allergens, contaminants, dust mites and soils from your home. In addition, we use less water with our nearly dry carpet cleaning to ensure your carpet is never soaking wet and always dries soft with no crunchy residue or buildup; this eliminates the possibility of mildew or mold developing beneath the surface of your carpet. Together, these factors have lead Oxi Fresh to become the leading Clarks Fork MO commercial carpet cleaner.
Oxi Fresh's Clarks Fork carpet cleaning franchise uses exclusive, high tech equipment, including one-of-a-kind brushes and a machine specifically designed to clean all the way down to the bottom of the carpet pile. We are committed to using environmentally friendly ingredients in all Clarks Fork carpet cleaning services. For this reason, we use non-toxic products that are safe for children and pets and a low moisture application process that allows your carpet to dry soft with no crunchy residue. Looking for a safe yet effective Clarks Fork MO carpet cleaner? If so, Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning® is the company for you.
More Clarks Fork carpet cleaning customers prefer Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning® over other methods! Unlike steam cleaning and spin bonnet cleaning, we use pile lifting technology to successfully remove the dirt and oils from the bottom of your carpet pile, making carpet like new right before the customer's eyes. Spin bonnet cleaning is unable to pull oily grime and dirt out of the carpet, and actually pushes it deeper into the carpet pile. Steam cleaning relies on lots of water and chemicals to clean the carpet and can take 24 hours or longer to dry; leaving your carpet pad vulnerable to mold and mildew developing. Our process leaves your carpets dry in about an hour.
No matter how large your home, Oxi Fresh's environmentally safe Clarks Fork carpet cleaning services can do the job! We can help protect your family's wellbeing and make your carpet last longer with our innovative green carpet cleaning in Clarks Fork.

Blue Jays-Red Sox Preview
The Toronto Blue Jays are coming up short against the Boston Red Sox, and that could eventually be the case in the AL wild-card chase.
After avoiding a scare, R.A. Dickey will try to help the Blue Jays salvage a victory from this three-game series at Fenway Park on Sunday.
Toronto (72-69) has dropped four of five games against Boston (63-79), with three of those defeats coming by one run, including the first two this weekend.
There isn't much margin for error for the Blue Jays, who are coming off Saturday's 4-3 loss and are chasing Seattle for the second wild-card spot with three other teams in between.
"We're still in this thing. We're hanging on by a thread," manager John Gibbons said. "They've been two close ballgames, they could have gone either way, but we just came up short."
R.A. Dickey (11-12, 3.94 ERA) will try to help Toronto avoid its first three-game sweep to the Red Sox since June 2011. He's fortunate to be taking the mound after he was hit in the head with a fly ball off the bat of Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria during batting practice Wednesday.
The knuckleballer was impressive a day earlier, holding the Rays to two runs and two hits over seven innings in an 8-2 victory.
That came a week after he allowed three runs - one earned - in the opening inning before tossing five scoreless in an 11-7 defeat in 11 at home to Boston.
Dickey is 3-0 with a 2.49 ERA and 27 strikeouts in 25 1-3 innings over four starts against the Red Sox this year. He earned a 14-1 win in his only appearance at Fenway on July 28, fanning 10 while allowing one run in seven innings.
Dickey may not have to contend with Mike Napoli, who is 6 for 18 against him but left after the second inning Saturday with an illness.
David Ortiz is also 6 for 18 against Dickey with two homers and two doubles. Dickey has limited Dustin Pedroia to four hits in 24 at-bats, but he connected for a two-run homer off him in the first inning Aug. 26.
Yoenis Cespedes has five hits and three RBIs in this series for the Red Sox and is batting .382 over his last 13 games.
Boston will give the ball to Rubby De La Rosa (4-5, 3.89), who is 0-1 with a 6.10 ERA in his last four starts. He's been even worse in three starts this season against the Blue Jays, losing both decisions while posting a 7.36 ERA.
The right-hander opposed Dickey on Aug. 26 and was staked to a three-run lead before taking the mound, but he relinquished it by giving up three runs in 4 2-3 innings.
De La Rosa allowed three runs - all in the third - over 5 1-3 innings Monday in a 4-3 win in 10 at Tampa Bay.
"I thought he made a number of quality pitches," manager John Farrell told MLB's official website.
Juan Francisco is 4 for 6 with a homer and double against De La Rosa.
