We ended up here after failure in finding a good spot in Yosemite. The park is not more than 15 miles from the park. Unfortunately it was not really what we expected. It took us several hours to come into contact with the staff. There was no shower and the toilets were basically holes in the ground. Not a place I would recommend for a family with children. In the evening a trailer did put on his loud generator and disturbed the peace of the whole camping ground. Not a place a would want to stay again. - Paul69

Pine Mountain Lake is an expensive, exclusive retirement/resort community. It seemed obvious that their purpose in having a campground would be to attract friends of property owners & potential new members/owners. Apparently not so! When I made my reservations for May (in January) they insisted I pay in full, by check, not credit card, but then didn't cash the check for 2 months. It took 3 calls before I could get anyone to acknowledge they'd even received it. Upon arrival, the gatekeeper informed me that the campground wasn't part of the lake complex, but was 3 miles on down the road. When we got there, only 3 other sites were occupied & 2 of them not actually inhabited. The site we'd been assigned required a long twisting downhill back-in so we took a different one- no one noticed, there was no 'host' on site. After setting up our trailer, we went to the bathrooms (which seem to be located so as to be as inaccessible as possible from every site in the place) only to discover they had punch-code locks & we didn't have the code. No cell service in the park so we had to drive back to the gate keeper's den to get it. 2 Days later a company truck drove in, gave us a friendly wave & went down & changed the codes without telling us. Again, back to the dreaded gate keeper. No apology for the inconvenience this time either. That night a pleasant young man with a middle-european accent knocked to inquire "Please, how does one acquire the rest-room code?". Obviously it's a closely guarded secret. The park's in a pretty little valley with several creeks through it, but it was a mess. The only "maintenance" that appeared to have been done was to refill the TP & the paper towels in the restroom. The utilities are also on the wrong side for most of the hookup sites There were deer, squirrels, birds & a great nightly 'bat show'. The golf course was very nice, but $65 a round & slopes 133, so be prepared. It's an hour & a half drive to Yosemite Valley. This is a 'never again' place for us because of the (lack of) management issues. We shoulda known when my wife's cousin who lives there asked "Why'd you pick there instead of someplace nicer?". - gs2rt

Staff was ready for us when we checked in, but we were disappointed that she didn't give us any information about the bus to Yosemite which stops right in the park, nor did she seem to know anything about local activities like the festival happening in Groveland that weekend. The campsite we had was right on the river with 50 amps, water and sewer, and was comfortable. The site next to us, however, was so narrow that if someone had pulled in there our rigs would have been right on top of one another. Not all sites have 50 amps and not all have sewer, although most were level or nearly level. The main draw for this campground for us was its proximity to Yosemite Park--just 5 or 6 miles from the West Gate Entrance. Our rig is too big for camping inside the park so this is as close as we could get. And we were really glad we were so close since Yosemite is so big and requires so much driving, anyway. We missed having a pool, and particularly a spa, when we returned every day after hiking. The restrooms and showers were in portable units but very clean and nice. We didn't use them, however. There are things for kiddos like mini golf and a clubhouse, but the few children we saw (teenagers) appeared to be bored to the bone. We enjoyed the little town of Groveland about 18 miles from the park, and had breakfast at a coffee house, lunch at the chili-cookoff, and snacks and beverages at Irondoor Tavern. We found the people in Groveland to be exceptionally friendly. We would return to this park if in Yosemite again. - MissMyGolden
Giant park, but the tent section was virtually empty on a Friday night. Check-in staff was kind of surly and not very efficient. On a good note, the lack of campers made for a quiet night's sleep. Fine place for a quick stop over. - pokeyt
We paid a member rate. This is a big campground with over 200 full hookup sites plus a large dedicated tenting area, several cabins, and two "Yurt†villages. There's a nice playground, horseshoe pits, shuffleboard, volleyball and basketball courts, and mini golf. The campground is located in a valley and a stream runs through the campground. Our stay was during a dry time of the year along with a serious drought so the stream wasn't very impressive but I imagine it's a lot nicer in the springtime. The sites along the stream are the most popular. They are shaded and several are 50 amps. We thought they were over-rated because the stream was nothing to get excited about, the sites stay full and are close together, and they were difficult if not impossible for those wanting satellite TV. There are also two "field†sections of the campground. They are pull-through sites but exposed to the full sun. We opted to stay in the section closer to the office. We had nice afternoon shade, good satellite TV, no nearby neighbors, and (a real bonus for us) using our WiFiRanger we could reach the park's Wi-Fi from our camper. Using our Wilson Sleek cradle I could get 1 or 2 bars of unreliable 3G – really not enough to even have a decent phone conversation. We were disappointed and surprised at how far it really is to Yosemite valley. Even though a National Park entrance is only five miles from the campground it's actually about 30 miles down to the valley – and those miles are twisting, turning, and sometimes steep miles. However there is a YARTS bus stop right at the campground and will take you to Yosemite valley. The cost for the two of us was actually about what we would have spent on fuel driving in and out. Let me mention that the drive up New Priest Grade to Groveland is 7-8 miles of non-stop 5-6%, switchbacks. If I were driving a RV that I knew was underpowered or overweight or especially long I would think twice before tackling this section of road. However, most people with a properly set up RV and moderate driving experience can drive it, hundreds do it every week. - nazpaz

We stayed here over the Labor Day weekend and was gouged on the rates, it's not worth $55 per night. The sites and roads are dirt and no sign of maintenance for some years. We agree with the earlier reviewer about signs and finding your site but the staff are very helpful and we were shown to our site. Restrooms were clean except for the last 24 hours of our stay when they were not cleaned at all. They are stained however and do need refurbishment. The garbage dumpsters were a mess and just dumped in an open area with bits of garbage lying around. Wifi was Tengonet which was flaky. We had a large site with picnic table. There did not appear to be a designated pet area and laundry was hung between trees. The local town of Groveland was lovely with a good reasonably priced supermarket and good fuel prices in the local gas station. We were very upset at having to pay premium prices because of the holiday weekend especially as the campsite was below par. It is one of the closest parks to Yosemite NP. - Harris England
We really enjoyed this RV park; it was like being in a state park but with all the amenities. Because of the high fire danger, fires were not allowed. Park was very quiet at night. People in office were very friendly and helpful. There was a small petting zoo, the pool looked nice, there is a deli and the park store had some stuff for sale. Small but reasonably-priced and clean laundry room. There was a nice nature trail with exercise stations. Sites are long and wide enough for big rigs, some pull-throughs, some back-ins. Groveland has some nice restaurants and a decent grocery store; the Iron Door Saloon was great. The things that needed improvement: upper level bathrooms could have been cleaner, the sites need some gravel as they're mostly dirt and are very dusty, Wi-Fi unreliable, and the cable had some fuzzy channels. Please note: if you come in on 120 from 49 (from the west), you will have to come up Moccasin Grade, which is five steep miles of hairpin turns, blind curves, no guardrails and other delights, which makes pulling a big fiver challenging. DO NOT be tempted to take the short cut, which is Old Priest Grade, because it's even worse. If you have a large rig and want to come through Yellowstone, you have tunnels with low clearances on the sides, and you can't be guaranteed that there won't be oncoming traffic so you can drive down the middle. We had a great time here, though, and would gladly be back for another visit. - Luvtheroad
Enjoyed the campground - clean pool and it was well occupied in early evening 1st night we were there. Other sport areas, too, plus the petting zoo, all of which my grandson took advantage of. Have a small store (Popsicle time) and a deli which we didn't try. Activities like marshmallow roast/hay rides/line dancing, but too early for us this trip as we weren't back from Yosemite in time on 2 of the nights we were there. Is about 22 mi from Big Oak Flat gate to Yosemite, which was probably about a 25 minute drive, which we really enjoyed both days. Each site also has a light on top of the power stands - most worked. The sites are terraced and they do have nice tent sites, too. Most sites seemed accessible by most rigs. Bathrooms clean enough and well lit (some stains in fiberglass showers) to be comfortable using. They also have cabins and yurts, which my daughter and son-in-law peeked in and said were nice, and they have a nice "training" course on the trail which they explored. Reasonable rates. Would definitely stay there again. Very nice people both as staff and guests. They even led several rigs in after dark (and probably after their work shift would have required it). We had full hookups, but they also have some with just electric and water. No cell service (but the entire area is sporadic and I was told in town that Verizon seemed to work best). Used the Wi-Fi a couple of times and it was easy and worked pretty well, but I was using at off-peak hours. I felt the roads were well marked, so unless they've changed the signs since someone else posted in July, I'm not sure what they are talking about. Also, you probably won't see much green grass/weeds, etc., unless you are there in spring/late fall/winter because there just isn't much water. Considering the sites in the area we were in were all dirt, you might not want to stay there in really rainy weather - I didn't notice any gravel or paved sites, but that might just be me. Very pleasant and relaxing park. - 5er Pam

We really enjoyed our time at this small, clean, cozy campground. We visited the other campgrounds nearby, and found this to be our favorite in the area. Friendly and very helpful owner. Old style restaurant with good home cooking just 3 minutes down the road. No cell phone reception on our Verizon phone. Wi-Fi was strong but had a data limit use. Park is 30 minutes from Yosemite's west entrance. Laundry could use some TLC. Closest grocery store and other restaurants are in Groveland, which is a 15 minute drive. Be sure to utilize New Priest Grade when driving from the west. - PhoenixFun
Park is situated in a shady grove of trees between Groveland and Yosemite NP. It is a very quiet park with little highway noise except for log trucks on Hwy 120. The park was spared during the Rim Fire of 2013 by the efforts of the CDF and local fire departments. We camped in site 15 which is a very nice spot away from most of the other sites. Wi-Fi was not good during our stay, only having access 2 of the 3 days we were there. TV reception is good if you have the satellite dish receiver provided by the park. We would stay here again. - chevytrkr
I loved the size and intimacy of the park. Sites were nice size, lots of trees. Internet was bad but I guess that is to be expected out in the country. The directions to the campground was my biggest issue. Definitely DON"T use GPS which the website tells you but it also says to use route J 59. Unless you have a detailed California map, J 59 is not directly off the highway. 99 north is and then connects up with J 59 and the rest of the route would be great. Because we didn't know that, we ended up going up very steep 49 and an extra 2 hours to get there. Bathrooms aren't heated that I could see. Gas is reasonable and there is a restaurant that is very convenient. - Junia

Asthma in Winter: Tips for Minimizing Attacks
Updated: Thursday, February 20 2014, 01:36 PM EST
Asthma affects more than 22 million Americans of all ages. The wintertime poses its own set of triggers.
Gayle Richardson is breathing easier these days, now that she has her asthma under control. But certain things trigger her condition, especially this time of year.
"I have more issues with asthma in the wintertime because of the colds and the flu virus that are floating around," Richardson said. "If I get something like that, it will definitely have a stronger effect on me"
This is common in people with the chronic lung condition, says Dr. Stanley Fineman.
Asthmatics have airways that are very hyper-sensitive, they're already inflamed, so the virus does more damage in the asthmatic patients than they would do in somebody who doesn't have asthma. Inflamed and swollen lungs can make it difficult to breathe.
To minimize attacks during winter, Dr. Fineman offers advice to patients:
-Most importantly, know your triggers.
-Cold air can exacerbate the condition, as can windy weather.
-Stay on long-term control medication.
-Remember indoor irritants too- things like smoke, scented candles and fireplaces.
Fineman recommends a flu shot for everyone with the condition. His final tip to keep healthy could be the simplest: good hand washing and good hygiene is important.

Measuring the "Piss-Off Factor" — Part II
Posted By Holly Buchanan On April 2, 2007 @ 7:30 am In Accountable Marketing,Bounce Rate,Customer Experience,Customer Focus,Personas | 7 Comments
Okay… So, the methodical types have called me out [1] on my last post [2]. While I explained the "Piss-Off Factor," I didn't explain how to measure it. Although "measure" was indeed in the title, I didn't mean it in the web analytics sense; rather, I was hoping to get people thinking about the customer experience as a whole. More to the point, that what we can't measure is sometimes more important than what we can.
For instance, my example that although a "live chat" option may improve conversion rates incrementally in some cases, this minor conversion boost says nothing of how many customers you've turned off by demanding they interact on your terms–if only to "close window" and be done with it. Even worse, a conversion boost from something like a pushy live chat could mask the fact that you're annoying potential customers. Rather than being concerned, you'd likely think you're adding value. (I'll explain more in a moment.)
Still, I do love you guys. You keep me honest.
So, how do you actually measure your "Piss-Off Factor" (POF)?
Like anything else, in order to know how to fix it, you must first define the problem.
The reason POF is so dangerous is the simple fact that measuring POF is very difficult. In the online world, the customer experience is measured largely by analytics. Most companies try to understand their customers by analyzing data about customer behavior. Data can tell you what your customers are doing, but it cannot tell you why.
The other problem with data is it measures only what "is," and not what "could be." If the problem is something that exists on your website, then you have an easier chance measuring the POF factor. But sometimes it's what's missing that causes a problem. Something should be there that isn't. How can you measure something that doesn't exist? I have some thoughts on both.
Look at pages with high abandonment rates. How did the visitor get to that page? What link did they click? What was the verbiage of that link? What were they expecting to see? Did the link deliver on the promise?
EXAMPLE: You're on a product page. You want to find out more about that particular product. You click on "Learn more about our products," expecting to be taken to a page that gives more detail about, that's right, the company's products. But instead, you're taken to a product category page that only lists their products with little or no information. You wanted to "learn more," but the link didn't deliver on its promise. (A more accurate link would have been "See our products.")
Check for copy that sounds "sales-y." What verbiage are you using that's turning them off? Look for any language that sounds like canned hype. At best, customers are ignoring it. At worst, it makes you seem pushy and fake.
EXAMPLE: "Better than money-back guarantee!" sounds like a gimmick. Instead, try "Money back guarantee. We mean it." AND if you say you're the "best," you'd better have proof to back it up. Grandiose, unsubstantiated claims turn people off.
Mine your customer communications. Look at emails, monitor phone calls, and pay close attention to live chat sessions. Talk to customer service reps, sales people, and anyone else who has direct customer contact. What issues are your customers having? What questions are they asking? What are their objections? Make sure that you're answering their questions and addressing their objections on the website.
EXAMPLE: You have a subscription model, and you charge a membership fee. Other competitors offer a similar service for free. A common customer objection is "Why should I have to pay?" Make sure you have verbiage on your site, at the Point of Action, that either explains or explicitly says "Here's why you should pay." Clearly explain why you're different from the free site and list out the specific benefits members get with your paid memberships. Ignoring objections and not answering your customers' questions will piss them off.
Gain customer insight through usability testing. I say this with some trepidation. The artificial environment of many usability tests can taint the results. But it can be useful when you're too familiar with your products and website and need a fresh perspective on how customers approach and use your site.
EXAMPLE: You think a Call to Action is perfectly clear, yet the visitor has to look really hard to find it.
Only ask for the personal information you absolutely must have. The more personal information you ask for, the more you'll piss off would-be customers. Ask for the minimum and be very clear about why you need that information and what you'll do with it.
EXAMPLE: My personal pet peeve is when sites ask for a title "Mr., Mrs., or Ms." I'm not a Mrs., but I despise Ms. Men can just click "Mr." But for women, why do you need my marital status?
See what blogs are saying about you. Search the blogosphere to see if anyone is talking about their experience with your website or product.
As far as exit surveys go, proceed with caution. You can get some very valuable information, but they can also increase your POF.
This one is a lot more tricky. What is it that your customers want from you that they're not getting? What are they looking for that they cannot find? What deeper motivations do they have that you are not addressing?
This is where the "data" problem intensifies. This is where "what" your customers are doing is little or no help; it doesn't provide the deeper customer insight you need.
That's why Future Now developed Persuasion Architecture™ (click to download the white paper [3]). The methodology gives you deeper insight into your customers and allows you to see your website through their eyes. We do this by creating customer personas [4].
Personas allow you to view your site through the eyes not of your "average" customer, but from the viewpoint of different customer buying modalities taking into account different needs, motivations, knowledge levels, and goals. What one customer likes may actually turn off another customer. One customer may only need one question answered; another may need lots of questions answered.
In my experience, personas are by far the best way to truly look at your website from your customer's idiosyncratic points of view. Plus, it takes into account different points of view and allows you map out what's missing–and what "could be."
EXAMPLE: If you're a wireless company selling phones on the Internet, customer personas will have differing buying needs. Some are very knowledgeable about these phones. Some are not as knowledgeable. Some care about having lots of cool features like Internet access, taking pictures, etc. Another persona may care about personalized ringtones. Read about my experience with Verizon Wireless [5] to get a sense of how what's missing is actually causing a high POF. [5]
To sum it all up: Use the suggestions above to gain insight into what you're currently doing that's causing a high POF. If you want to know what you're NOT doing that is causing a high POF, consider creating personas to give you the deeper insight that data and analytics can't provide.

Beach Boys Concert

|Live album by The Beach Boys
|October 19, 1964
|December 21, 1963, August 1, 1964 at Civic Memorial Auditorium, Sacramento, CA
August 31, 1964 at Western Studios

Beach Boys Concert is a live album by the Beach Boys, released in 1964. It is their seventh album in all, and their third alone in the same year. What is perhaps most notable about the album is that it provided the Beach Boys with their first number one album in the US, remaining at the top for four weeks during a sixty-two week chart stay and becoming another gold seller.
Beach Boys Concert proves to be a timely release because leader and producer Brian Wilson was about to vacate his position in the live group, and would only perform sporadically with them over the course of the next three decades. It is also the only live document of the second line up of the Beach Boys in officially released LP form. It was recorded live at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, CA.
The album includes several songs that The Beach Boys regularly performed live but had not previously included on an album, such as "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow", "The Wanderer" and "Monster Mash". "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena" was actually a Jan & Dean hit. Alongside those were a sampling of their favorites, such as "Hawaii", "In My Room", "Fun, Fun, Fun", and "I Get Around".
Studio doctoring on Beach Boys Concert is very evident, from the overdubbed vocals, and the fact that the concert also featured recordings from December 1963 (also where announcer Fred Vail's introduction comes from). Most obviously, Brian Wilson used the original music tracks for both "Fun, Fun, Fun" (which was sped up) and "I Get Around", both of which had elements removed to make them appear as though they were new performances.
Despite the shady circumstances surrounding its post-production, Beach Boys Concert is still an edgy live document and a missing link in their early discography, which captured The Beach Boys in a context that was about to change forever.
A truncated version was released on Pickwick Records as Wow! Great Concert! Beach Boys Concert (Capitol (S)TAO 2198) was paired on CD with Live in London, with bonus tracks from both periods. Bonus Tracks include "Don't Worry Baby (Live 1964)" (2:56) and "Heroes And Villains (Live 1968)" (3:47).

The organizers could not remember where they had placed the bongs made for the winners, a testament to the potency of the local marijuana. The Oscars of the marijuana world, the Emerald Cup bestows honors on the best medecinal marijuana grown outside (indoor marijuana is not accepted) in the region known as the Emerald Triangle (Mendocino, Humbold and Trinity County), reputed to be the best in the world. 110 growers presented 136 strands, judged on four criterias: appearance, taste, aroma, and potency. A thousand participants attended the festival. Located about four hours north of San Francisco in deeply fotested areas, and bestowed with perfect growing conditions, the Emerald Triangle has become the marijuana capital of the U.S.. Made legal by the Compassionate Use Act, the Emerald Triangle's medecinal marijuana culture generates over 14 billion dollars annualy, about two third of the counties' revenue (photo Gilles Mingasson/Getty Images).

Stinky Fridge
Funky smell, bring in the funk, bring in the smell. This is a condensed version of a real life event. It was HOURS before I could find the culprit. As we have an open kitchen the stink started to move out into the house…like the blob.
Every time someone opens the fridge the smell shoots out stronger. But, sometimes it's so hidden you can't find the culprit. People can start to turn on each other. "I looked, I don't know where it is coming from!". The best part of this vid was Vivien's brief part. I think I should have a t shirt made with this image:
Stinky fridges are well discussed online. The worst smell I ever smelled in a fridge was when the power went out and the raw chicken smelled so rank I became a vegetarian for a few years.
This pic sums up how we all feel when a funk is upon us. ( not Rex, found this online)
This is why preservatives can be good. cuts down on the funk
Recessionista: Leftovers
How to make that dollar stretch further in your kitchen? Repurpose the leftovers. Full disclosure: I have learned to make this dish much better since I shot it a few weeks ago.. and no it's not a frittata, it's a scramble. My brains were scrambled. I'm no Sandra Lee or Paula Dean ( thank god), but I do have a great apron.
I pride myself on giving recession tips that aren't fully helpful, because I'm not fully competent. For more dysfunctional tips see: http://coolmom.com/2011/08/11/recessionista-energy-vigilante/
and http://coolmom.com/2011/07/14/recessionista-hair/
At least I have the two cutest sous chefs in town!
Sippy Cup Hell
To borrow the old "where's the beef?" line…
Where's the lid?
A drink for your kids should be so simple, but the cups and the tops get separated quicker than new socks. My kitchen drawers look like a landfill full of things that will never decompose.
Are there sippy cups with lids that stay attached? That would be a good invention.
Teaching Kids About the Farmers Market
Hey, I posted this vid via a blog post awhile back; it was connected to a deal with Hillshire Farms. I felt it was good enough to tweak and run here as a feature. (Sidebar: we do buy Hillshire Farms deli meats and love the reusable containers.) I am hopeful my kids get a sense of what REAL food looks like. The bumps, the imperfections, the sweetness and full flavor.
How do you get your kids to connect with plant life? Nature? Or do you?
Do You Take Your Kids Grocery Shopping? (Ragu Sponsored)
Back with Sauce Talk!
When we shot this, I was struck by how kind, even and uncynical Christine is about her kids. When I watched the video, though, I just wanted to go put baffles in her dining room so the sound was better.
Look, most of the time going to the grocery store is a bore to me. Mostly because I do it ALL THE TIME. What's with this eating thing around here? When they were tiny, a mashed banana and cheerios went a long way. Caroline Murphy is in the discussion as well.
So, if you have a choice… do you take the kids along for the ride?
My Food Dude
These are the people in my neighborhood…
Here is a story of one sweet man who has followed me from neighborhood to neighborhood. He has been with me through good times and hard times. He shows up with good food for me and wants to see me happy.
My husband? No, I'm talking about The Food Dude. (since this posted the food dude asked me to leave his number in case any LA area folks wanted to check out his fine food and dear personality 562-746-5440)
Dinner on a Budget (Ragu Sponsored)
In the weeks since I shot this it seems even more relevant. Um, has anyone noticed that this non-recession is NOT letting up? Meanwhile, my kids seem to be eating more. While more costly, it does seem important to their growth to take in sustenance. I chat here with Caroline Murphy of Smarty Pants Mama and Christine Koh of Boston Mamas. Just Mamas and the dinner issue.
So, eating on budget .. what's your tip?

Reality Show
If you have watched enough reality shows — and honestly, haven't we all? — you find that the common denominator for all of them is creating conflict where there is none. Or making a mountain out of a mole hill. Whether it's over a set up game on an island in the South Pacific or a dancing show with C-listers, magnifying drama is the genre's stock and trade.
Having hosted reality shows, I know first hand that the drama they amplify is actually not as interesting as the actual human dramas taking place. But that doesn't stop them. Since I'm not named Mark Burnett or Freemantle or Magical Elves, what do I know?
I wanted to apply the formula to my life and see how it works.
Sponsored: What Are Your Go-To Veggies?
In the Ragu series I've been a part of a big goal is for parents to pass on nuggets of wisdom about getting their kids to eat healthy meals. So, I was all ears for the topic of getting kids to eat vegetables. I found out that I'm not doing too bad. Also, Vivien loved her fish and shrimp last night so I really feel like I have a good eater.
Of course, Rex ate one potato and ran screaming from the table. Oh, well. Take the victories where you can. Kim Tracy Prince and Caroline Murphy are the bloggers on the Versation with me.

November 23, 2014
HENLEY, Ohio (WSAZ) -- The search is on for a driver who fled the scene of a fatal accident. It happened on State Route 73 about a mile east of Henley-Comstock Road about 6 p.m. Thursday.
The Ohio Highway Patrol says the driver of a gray or silver car, possibly a Saturn, made an illegal pass in a no passing zone. That forced Joshua Bach to swerve to miss the Saturn. Troopers say Bach then crossed the center line and hit another driver, Christopher Smith, head-on.
Smith was pronounced dead at the scene by the Scioto County Coroner. A passenger in the car, Dominique Steele, was taken to a local hospital and then air lifted to a Cincinnati hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Bach was also taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police say the driver of the gray or silver Saturn fled the scene. If you have any information about this investigation, you're urged to call the Portsmouth Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol at 740-354-2888.

Qualcomm Snapdragon MDP MSM8660
Beyond the new data visualizations and other plans for Lillesand, Phoronix Test Suite 3.4 will contain much greater support for Google's Android operating system and there will also be greater compatibility with ARM tests using our automated testing framework. A horde of ARM-based testing is also just out on the horizon at Phoronix.com. This is all thanks to the cooperation of Qualcomm's Innovation Center; they recently sent over the Snapdragon MDP MSM8660 for doing this work and it is an interesting and powerful phone.

ZaReason MediaBox 4220
This year we have looked at a number of "nettop" and media oriented computers, including the ASRock Vision 3D that was the best nettop we have seen to date but not without a hefty price-tag, there were the MSI Wind Box computers, and even the CompuLab Fit-PC2 that was by far the smallest Atom-based computer we have tested today. None of the nettop computers we have tested though have been specifically designed for Linux usage, except for the one we are reviewing today. The ZaReason MediaBox 4220 is designed for multi-media use, as implied by its name, and of course, coming from this California vendor, it has designed to be used under Linux.

ASRock Vision 3D NetTop
It's been nearly a decade since ASRock was spun off by ASUS as a new OEM vendor and over this time they have transformed themselves from being solely a manufacturer of low-cost, value-oriented motherboards and other products to offering more high-end and enthusiast-friendly products (such as the X58 SuperComputer and 880G Extreme 3). ASRock has also adapted to the market and has begun offering other products like low-power nettop computers. Last year we reviewed ASRock's ION 330 NetTop, which was their first, followed by the ION 330HT-BD, another Atom-based PC earlier this year. In August we then reviewed the ASRock Core 100HT, which was a nettop based upon a more powerful Core i3 processor, but with Intel integrated graphics. The latest nettop though to have been introduced by this Taiwan-based vendor is the Vision 3D NetTop, which incorporates a higher-end Intel Core processor while bringing NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M graphics for making a relatively high-end PC in a very small form factor.

Excito B3 Mini ARM Powered Server
Many interesting things come from Sweden whether it is Tunnbrödsrulle to Glögg to IKEA, but how well are these wonderful people able to create compact, home servers? After reviewing the CodeLathe TonidoPlug and PogoPlug, Excito, a company from Limhamn asked if we would be interested in checking out their new Linux-based home server, the B3. With that said, here is the review of the Excito B3 home server, which is actually a rather exciting device with its capabilities ranging from being a Bit Torrent download server to a home router with web serving capabilities.

Lenovo ThinkPad W510 Notebook
Since July we have been testing a Lenovo ThinkPad W510 notebook under Linux and have already published a variety of Linux benchmarks. This Lenovo notebook boasts an Intel Core i7 720QM CPU, 4GB of system memory, a 320GB SATA HDD, and NVIDIA Quadro FX880M graphics. In this review we are taking a closer look at the ThinkPad W510 notebook and have more Ubuntu Linux benchmarks comparing its performance to the ZaReason Verix and an older ThinkPad T61.

ASRock Core 100HT NetTop
Last summer we reviewed the ASRock NetTop ION 330, which was the first Atom-powered NetTop computer that had come out of this vendor known for their affordable motherboards. The NetTop ION 330 combined an Intel Atom 330 CPU with NVIDIA's ION platform to provide a low-power PC while offering modest computing and graphics capabilities. Earlier this year we then reviewed the ION 330HT-BD, which was ASRock's revised nettop with more features and was topped off with a Blu-ray drive for greater media capabilities. Today we are now reviewing the ASRock Core 100HT, which is their newest nettop and it boasts an Intel Core i3-330M processor with 4GB of DDR3 system memory, a 500GB hard drive, and is completed with USB 3.0 and 802.11n wireless network connectivity.

ZaReason Verix Notebook
One year ago we reviewed the ZaReason Ion Breeze computer that was built around NVIDIA's ION platform with an Intel Atom CPU, but today we are looking at our first ZaReason notebook and it boasts some very high-end hardware. The Verix 1656 is one of ZaReason's highest-end notebooks and its powered by a quad-core Intel Core i7 CPU (with Hyper Threading to make for eight logical cores in this mobile computer), a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250M GPU, and a 15.4-inch 1680x1050 display. The ZaReason Verix 1656 also has a very nice brushed-aluminum exterior.

CodeLathe TonidoPlug
Last month we reviewed the Pogoplug, which was an interesting network attached storage (NAS) device that ran Linux and was unique compared to other devices on the market. Today we are reviewing a device similar to this and that is the TonidoPlug. The TonidoPlug is a low-power home server that runs the open-source Tondio software that runs Linux and costs only $99 USD.

Pogoplug: An Interesting, Linux-Friendly NAS
While more and more computer peripherals and gadgets these days are running Linux internally, not many vendors are matching their internal Linux support with external Linux customer support. For the Pogoplug though, which is made by CloudEngines, this is not the case. The Pogoplug is a network attached storage device that is far more than a basic NAS like the Icy Box NAS4220, but the Pogoplug can integrate with social networks like Twitter along with providing a rich web 2.0 interface for accessing the device from anywhere in the world. The Pogoplug device runs Linux and is built upon popular open-source packages, but Pogoplug does not hide this fact and they actually encourage community developers to work on the Pogoplug with complete support for SSH-ing into these devices and making modifications. CloudEngines also offers a 32-bit/64-bit Linux program for interacting with the Pogoplug.

Real estate tax protests down this year in one county.
The Cass County Assessor's Office reports 186 filings this year. The deadline for filing protests on real estate property tax assessments was July 2nd and the hearings are already underway. According to past records, there were 366 protests filed last year, 231 in 2010 and 277 in 2009.
The re-appraised areas this year: Residential: Plattsmouth (land and improvements) Murray (land and improvements), Commercial: Northeast (sales review, market analysis studies), Mineral Interest: (ongoing), Agricultural: Land market value analysis (ongoing and countywide)
Cass County shows a 3.49% gain in real property valuation in the preliminary figures submitted to the State of Nebraska. Ag land again was the big factor in the valuation gain.
Final certification comes after the protest hearings are completed.
The Nebraska Department of Property Assessment and Taxation released information comparing the change in valuation in percentages from 2011 to 2012.
When growth (new construction) is not factored in, the percentage change is 2.77%.
Statewide, proposed real property valuations show an increase of 5.66% from 2011 to 2012. That figures to an increase in valuation of about $8.32 billion.
The real property valuation gain in the report for neighboring counties: Otoe 8.78%, Lancaster 6.63%, Saunders 10.63% and Sarpy 1.63%.

DEFINITION of 'Sell Plus'
An order to sell a quantity of stock at a price that is above the current market price. A sell plus will only be executed when the stock is on the rise, and the price reached. Similar to a sell limit order.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Sell Plus'
For example, shares of Big Air investments have a last traded price of $10. A sell plus order in this case would be any sell order with a price that is greater than $10. We place a sell plus order for $15. The only way our order will fill is if the market price of the stock rises to $15.
Limit OrderAn order placed with a brokerage to buy or sell a set number ...
Above The MarketAn order to buy or sell at a price set higher than the current ...

The people over at the Saint Louis Science Center (5050 Oakland Avenue; 314-289-4400 or www.slsc.org) sympathize with you collegiately minded kids. They know you have an insatiable thirst for knowledge — you just can't go to class enough! — but they also realize you don't have a lot of scratch left over after purchasing your beers, we mean, books.

"more tourist than architect of world affairs"Gee Dana, you sound surprised.First, BO has repeatedly stated that US influence in the world is a BAD thing. So no action, no influence is good, right?Second, this president has shown a singular incompetence at everything he has tried to do except for getting elected. For that he can credit YOU and your buddies in the media who totally failed to criticize him for his lack of experience and general incompetence.The few times he has accidentally tripped into engagement in foreign policy, Syria, Ukraine, he has been made to look like a blustering buffoon. That is an accurate picture of BO but one that the media carefully shields him from.

Discount sightseeing card. The Firenze Card allows you to jump queues at cultural highlights—Uffizi lines are legendary—and gets you into as many of Florence's major museums as you like for a 72-hour period. Children under 18 who are EU citizens and in the same family group as a cardholder also go free.
Museum shops . At any cultural heavyweights, visit the shop first and buy a couple of postcards—turning a museum visit into a treasure hunt adds child-appeal. The Uffizi has a great selection for this.
Pedestrian Piazzas. Increased pedestrianisation has made roaming with young kids much freer than it used to be. But you should still keep an eye out: even in zones closed to traffic, you may still encounter a taxi, electric bus, cleaning vehicle, or transgressing local.
Time-out time. If your tot needs to switch off from sightseeing, and just 'do something normal', the second floor of Florence's central library, the Biblioteca delle Oblate, has a quiet, relaxed play space with toys and picture books. It's free to use—and is worth the trip for the view of Brunelleschi's cathedral dome from the café terrace alone.

Omaha's Pope Paul VI Institute . . . Brings New Beginnings To Women And Life To New Babies
By DEXTER DUGGAN
Part 1
OMAHA — A young Nebraska mother with a smiley eight-month-old baby boy at home listened with curiosity to remarks during an educational program here about natural fertility regulation and achieving pregnancy in difficult cases.
She and her husband initially hadn't been successful at trying to conceive. Now she was learning there's a medical institute right here in Nebraska's largest city that she hadn't been aware of, drawing clients from around the United States and beyond.
It's the Pope Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction, a professional pro-life academy that promotes women's awareness of how their bodies work and is open to clients regardless of religious persuasion.
In harmony with the Catholic faith, the institute treats patients for problems including infertility, miscarriage, premature birth, premenstrual syndrome, and postpartum depression. … Continue Reading

Ice conditions unsafe on parts of Winnipesaukee
Fish and Game is urging those heading out onto the ice to exercise caution as they do so. A large number of anglers are expected to head out onto the state's lakes and ponds this weekend to participate in the Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby. A recent aerial survey of Lake Winnipesaukee by the N.H. Civil Air Patrol revealed treacherous ice conditions on some parts of the big lake, including an area of open water near Welch Island.
"Caution is in order for those going out onto the ice, especially on the large lakes," said Fish and Game Lt. James Goss. "Don't let the cold temperatures fool you - some areas that have traditionally been safe for ice anglers and other outdoor recreationists are not safe this year. We are urging people to check the ice thickness for yourself before you go out onto any frozen waterbody."
Because of the unpredictable ice conditions, it is not advisable to drive vehicles onto the ice, Goss said.

Looking for Pharmacy Technician career training from an institutionally accredited school?
Look no further! Ross has Pharmacy Technician Training Programs in Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia! All Ross Medical Education Center campuses and Ross College in Sylvania, OH are institutionally Accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). Becoming a Pharmacy Technician could be an excellent decision for your future. Employment for Pharmacy Technicians is projected to grow by 20% from 2012 to 2022.* Your investment in pharmacy technician classes could help provide career opportunities today and in the future.
Pharmacy Technicians can work in a variety of settings, including:
- Community and retail pharmacies
- Hospital pharmacies
- Long-term care facilities
- Pharmaceutical manufacturers
Preparation for a Pharmacy Technician Career
Pharmacy Technicians should have a solid foundation in the therapeutic use of prescription and nonprescription medications for treatment of diseases affecting the various physiologic systems of the human body. They should have comprehensive understanding of how to receive and screen prescriptions or medication orders. Ross offers a blend of courses, on-campus laboratory learning experiences, and an externship to ensure the most well-rounded development of knowledge and skills. Pharmacy Technician graduates are eligible to take both the Pharmacy Tech Certification Examination (PTCE) offered by the Pharmacy Tech Certification Board (PTCB) and the National Certification Examination for Pharmacy Technicians offered by National Healthcareer Association (NHA).
In addition to the core Pharmacy Technician training, Ross Medical Education Center goes a step above and provides instruction in networking techniques, tools to write a professional resume, and interview strategies.
Note: Under Section 133 of the HEA of 1965 as amended, institutions of higher education must provide textbook pricing information. This information is published and included in the campus catalog addendum that is distributed to all students prior to enrolling at Ross.
Pharmacy Technician Externships
Ross Medical Education Center requires students to complete a practical externship in order to graduate. The externship is crucial to the learning experience for every Ross student, giving them a chance to apply what they have been given instruction on in the classroom to a real world setting.
The externship also provides employers an opportunity to assess students' skills prior to hiring entry-level allied health professionals.
In addition, unlike some other schools, Ross does not schedule or require any waiting period for externships! You may continue your training immediately after the classroom education. This is another example of our commitment to students' success.
Ross does not guarantee employment.

Interesting, I never really though about how interchangable most bruisers are. Renekton and Irelia are damn near the same thing but the meta is suited more towards Renekton so we see him more.
However you should give yourself a bit more credit. Garen for example is among the melee lane bullies, however unlike most bruisers even if not super fed he can single handedly take out a high priority squishy alone if not peeled due to his tankiness and execution. Meanwhile Darius who is a bit more flat footed works a little better as a peeler and can help the carries destroy the tank line.
Then you have Wukong probably the only fighter with a tank like engage.

This entire subject might have to require poking holes in the benefits of taking one character over another, or else people will stick to their tried and true. There are two ways of doing that, one would be making their flaws more obvious. The alternative is to make champions who's upsides are much more notable and obvious, but if you continue to do this it might be the start of a power creep and I'm sure no one wants that. But hey if you guys ever need feedback.. this community has some alright people underneath all the noise. :P

The Alters are a fun flavorful neutral objective that increases the importance of junglers (although not smite) and increases the pace of the game. They have a similar role to what a buff monster creep would have. However, I believe that there are 2 distinct differences that have a negative effect on 3v3 game play.
Alters do not defend themselves. They are simple to take, just stand on them. Because they are so easy to take, teams want to take them as soon as they are up. This encourages an early skirmish and places a lot of importance on level one team fight. Can you imagine summoners rift if you could easily take Baron at level one, even if jungle buffs are invaded the only counter-play isn't fight, you can always attempt to sneak away the enemy buff. The close proximity of the alters will discourage any passive play like this. So alters encourage teams to fight at level one. Why is this a problem? First, A lot of people are anxious about losing the importance of lanes in 3v3. Secondly teams will have to put a greater importance on a level one fight.
Alters are up every 90 seconds. There is a strong buff to be contested every 90 seconds. This is going to pull teams away from whatever is being done to skirmish in the middle. I've already mentioned concern about the importance of lanes. Additionally it just makes taking the buff feel slightly less rewarding. I believe it is a powerful buff, but when you have to fight over it every 90 seconds, each victory isn't that exciting.
I've pointed these things out as negatives, which is how a vocal part of Twisted Treeline players feel, because they feel like it will change the gameplay of 3v3 to a more skirmish based game that they aren't comfortable with. I've also mentioned how these things can be negative without taking into consideration that it forces constant skirmishing. However, these things were quite obviously implemented with the intention of creating the skirmishes, in order to ensure a faster paced game play. I think that Riot has gone too far.
The alters already create faster gameplay by giving out a gold buff, But they also have negative effects. I think that this can be easily balanced. To me, Solutions such as remove the alters, or keep old twisted treeline are overzealous and bad for 3v3 game play.
Timer Tweaks in two locations. At start of game Alters should remained locked longer, they should either remain locked or defend themselves to an extent that a team might be able to pressure the opposing team off it. Encouraging a level one skirmish is exciting, but really detracts from lane play and forces team to overly think about level one fighting in champion select. Longer locks is a small fix that might really help.
Once taken, buff remains locked longer. Forcing buff contention every 90 seconds make them feel less rewarding and changes the focus of the game.
I don't know the correct timers for either of these, but fiddling with lock timers seems like a simple fix that might make a lot of people happy, it should at least be tested on the PBE
Taken from my thread that discusses Alters, Wards, and the Speed boost. Red buff has basically been split into these two Alters, I think it needs tweaks not removal to make it allright
could you imagine if Summoner's Rift revolved around taking Baron and Dragon every 90 seconds? now imagine that those same buffs don't fight back but just sit there and wait for you to kill it. imagine further, if you will, that there were no wards to watch said objectives. it's not about not wanting to work as a team, because even in the original TT you have to work as a team or it's easy to lose. It's about being distracted from the real reason you play that map. it's not an objective based mode.
Add a bit more to the objectives. Sacrifice BLOOD on the Altars. Somehow.
I'll start throwing out my silly ideas at some point.

FORT MYERS, Fla.- A Fort Myers man suspected of shooting a 16-year-old girl at the Fort Myers Ale House this weekend will be held without bond. Henry Brunson appeared before a judge this morning facing Second Degree Murder charges.
Police say Kanasha Isaac is on life support, but was declared clinically brain dead by two physicians. She was shot in the face, according to Brunson's arrest report. Witnesses say he looked directly into the vehicle while firing a handgun multiple times.
The State argued, due to the charges he faces, 24-year-old Brunson is a danger to the community and should not be released. The judge agreed and is holding him without bond until further notice.
"Yes, I want my rights. I want my attorney present before anyone speaks to me," Brunson said.
He said nothing else in court this morning, facing a Lee County judge through a video screen from the jail.
Brunson was arrested early yesterday, following Saturday's shooting at Fort Myers Ale House.
It was just before midnight that police say Isaac and a friend left the restaurant and got into their car. Investigators say that's when a car pulled in front of them and blocked them into their parking space. Witnesses told officers they saw Brunson roll down the passenger side window and open fire. They say he looked directly into the vehicle while firing a handgun multiple times. The car then drove away.
Isaac was shot in the face, according to police. Her friend rushed her to the hospital. After being declared brain dead by physicians, she was put on artificial ventilation as her organs were harvested.
The motive for the shooting is still under investigation.
Collier County Public Schools says the school district crisis team and Immokalee High School counselors visited Isaac's classrooms this morning. Other counselors are being made available throughout the day to assist students and adults who may be in need of help. Teachers and other staff have been instructed as to how to handle this situation in the classroom while being told of the signs to look for in students needing assistance.
Fort Myers Police Chief Doug Baker says he needs witnesses to come forward more often to help solve cases. "I'm very satisfied as far as the information that we were able to achieve from witnesses (in this case), that plays an important role."
He says, "if our witnesses would come forward and cooperate with us, we'd be able to clear all the homicides this afternoon if that were the case. It's been difficult, its been a struggle, but its not something we're going to let up on. We're going to be firm, our mission is very focused and we're gonna reduce the violent crime as it occurs in the city."
He says they are still reviewing unsolved murders from last year. "Just because the year changes, doesn't mean we've turned the page on our old homicides that are still open and pending, we're still reviewing those and looking at those and making every effort to make sure we hold someone accountable at the end of the day."
Baker says, "a 16-year-old girl lost her life because of street violence and to me that's the bigger issue here. As people continue to support or defend or protect our violent offenders, this has the ability to happen again unfortunately and that's where we want our citizens.. if they see it to report it."
Brunson has been arrested at least once each year since 2009.
A few weeks ago, WINK News reported Chief Baker sent letters to the city's 25 most violent criminals to let them know police are watching them. He says Brunson was not on that list. However, he says one of the recipients did respond to the letter.
