How to Clean Your Electronics
Edited by ThisisKellie, Dave Crosby, Chris, HelloBunny and 1 other
From MP3 players to personal computers to home theater equipment, electronics can be a major expense. It's worth taking the time to properly clean and care for your electronic equipment to help keep gadgets running long term. Here are a few simple tips to help keep electronics clean.
1Clean the dust and dirt: It's easy for your electronics to collect dust and debris over time, particularly with items that are stationary. Too much dust may even cause problems with your sound and picture quality. When cleaning, avoid using a paper towel as it may scratch your equipment. Instead, use a microfiber cloth for best results. Keep cotton swabs or a small art brush handy for reaching small spaces. Another alternative is to use a can of compressed air to dislodge dust and dirt from small areas like keyboards.Ad
2Spray cleaning solution on cloth instead of directly on to gadgets: Never directly spray cleaning agents on your electronics. Gadgets have various entry points and ventilation holes that might get damaged if you spray directly on the equipment. Spray your cleaning cloth first and then wipe the item down.
3Seal the Surface: One of the best things you can do for electronic products with a screen is seal the display surface. Products like Nanotol for electronics by CeNano protect your display surface and provide long-lasting protection. The invisible layer will protect your devices from scratches and help them remain clean longer. You will continue to get full picture quality on your screen and it will be protected from fingerprints and dust.
4Protective Cases: Keep small electronics like cell phones, eReaders and MP3 players in a protective case to help avoid scratches or breakage.Ad
- Always read the manufacturer's instructions: Before you start cleaning, read the owner's manual or check online for maintenance information. You want to be sure you follow the proper care and precautions.
Things You'll Need
- Microfiber Cloth
- Cotton Swabs
- Art or Make-up Brush
- Can of Compressed Air
- Electronic Screen Sealant

Hi All,
First post , so I am hopefully going to ask a smart question.
HP t410 AoI Zero client (HP t410 AiO Smart Zero Client | HP® Official Site)
I am looking at the HP zero client , but the AoI device , and have some questions on this if anyone can help.
a) Has anyone used these and deployed them , and if so , how easy is the deployment / management software that lives on the main server?
b) How easy is it to configure the devices prior to deploying them to customer sites?
c) Do the devices work with a full remoteFX user desktop?
d) Are the devices dual or even triple monitor compatible? I have noticed they have 4 x USB ports , so was wondering if i could plug in another USB powered monitor for example.
e) Are there any types of video cards specifically that work best on RemoteFX and this AoI device.
Reasons for asking questions:
We wish to test the functionality of the above and offer a full remoteFX desktop to the end users with also nice zero clients as well. This will provide us with a USP.
Many thanks for reading , and hopefully someone can help!

The Mission: Sixty percent of Americans believe in extra terrestrial life forms and one fourth of the general population thinks that aliens have visited the planet. Spurred by this information and a recent influx of reports made by Chilean locals about aliens, Josh and the team embark upon their first ET investigation.
The Adventure: They first arrive in Lima, Peru where Josh gets an aerial view of several hundred shapes and patterns that have been carved into the desert's face. Natives believe these cryptic symbols are used to communicate with beings from above. One shape in particular bares an uncanny resemblance to ET and is called "The Ancient Astronaut". Back on land, Josh and the team speak to locals about the mysterious alien sightings they've made. Info in tow, the team gears up for the mission.
The team descends into the dangerous mines and quickly realizes they'll have to be careful. There are the toxic inert gases that can potentially rise from the ground, ceiling rocks can fall on their heads— oh and creepy little green men might be lurking and waiting to suck their brains out through their ears. You know, the usual stuff. With this in mind Sharra, Bisha and Rex stay behind at base camp to man the cameras while Jael, Evan and Josh set out to investigate.
When trying to navigate through the extreme darkness of the tunnel, Evan falls into a shallow area of the ground and the team makes a grizzly discovery. They find what appears to be the tiny (no larger than 18 inches) decomposed body of a figure that looks humanoid. To make things creepier, the skull has also been detached making it difficult for them to decipher what species the remains belong too.
Later on, while Jael and Rex head back to base camp with the remains, a rock comes flying at them from the dark abyss of a tunnel ahead of them. *Note to self: Alien's DON'T like un-announced houseguests. Good to know. As Jael and Rex are playing dodge ball with an unknown figure, Josh, Gabe and Mike search for an easier exit for the team and their load of equipment. When they find an exit, they're met with the shocking sight of a strange glow, too large to be a star in the sky. Then, the parabolic dish, that's not plugged in, begins to make extremely loud machine-like noises. Seems like somebody wants to phone home— right now!
The Findings: When the team arrives back to the United States Josh heads to the mammalogist to review photos of the remains found in the mines. The mammalogist deduces that the figure is not a bird because the feet proportions aren't similar to that of a human or any kind of primate. But he can't out much else. Having stumped the mammalogist, Josh enlists the help of a zoo curator. Yet unfortunately, he isn't able to decipher what species the figure belongs to either.
In the end, Josh realizes that the Chilean mission left the group with more questions than answers. What species did the remains belong to? How can they explain the rock being thrown at Rex and Jael or the strange sounds they heard and sights the team saw dancing above the mine. As they wait for more info on this investigation, they'll just have to label it as indescribable.
Turkey: Van Lake Monster
The Mission: A man made international news with his personal footage of an unidentified animal that appeared to be over 40 feet long, floating in Turkish waters. Locals in the city of Van, a far eastern Turkish location, also claimed to have seen the mysterious beast. The story of the Lake Monster has became such a hot topic of discussion that they've built a statue of the monster and formed their own search teams to look for it. Not wanting to miss out on the excitement, Josh and the crew trek 17 hours to join the mission.
The Adventure: When the team arrives, Josh speaks with local journalists and boat captains who shared frightening tales of their encounters with the monster and everyone seems to come to the same consensus. It's big and it's scary. But luckily, the Destination Truth team is up for the challenge. The government is so convinced that the monster is real that they loan Josh the use of a state of the art helicopter to look for the monster from an aerial view. While Josh goes above and beyond (cheesy pun intended) to search for the monster, the team scans the water from the north and south banks. Aside from a slight spotting Jael makes, the Van Lake monster is pretty camera shy, so the crew takes advantage of the last hours of daylight to embark on an underwater investigation.
They endure the icy waters for as long as they can but with such poor visibility below, the only way they'd be sure to encounter the Van Lake monster is if they let it it them. On to plan C… Josh and Jael head to the highest point of the island, to see if they can spot the beast. Meanwhile the rest of the team sets up base camp. But no sooner than they make a sighting, it starts to rain. Then sleet. Then snow. The team can't seem to catch a break on this case! And just when they thought things couldn't get any worse— they kind of do. Josh, Jael and Rex decide to brave the dark waters by boat and something beneath them goes bump, nearly causing them to capsize. Shaken but not deterred, Josh scans the water with this thermal imaging camera and low and behold, a massively long heat signature appears. After a long night of investigating and dealing with unfavorable weather, the team heads home.
The Findings:
While processing the footage in LA, Josh sees an excess of something over 20 feet in length on the thermal imaging camera. But the biologist, Dr. Cooper, isn't so sure that this is evidence of the Van Lake Monster. Dr. Cooper believes that the amateur footage that made national news could be more hoax than horror. His theory is that methane produced by bottle sediments causes bubbles to the surface and whatever was caught on that film was more than likely an object, rather than animal, that had risen to the surface. He also notes that Van Lake is very salty and the only species of fish that grows there only gets up to about eight inches long. Reasonable enough explanations but nothing eight inch fish could bump a boat full of people. So whether it's the Van Lake monster or a ticked off tadpole, something unknown lurks within the waters of Turkey.
Josh and the team decide to try a touristy Vampire haunted house before the investigation and realize sometimes that's scarier than the real thing.
Josh talks about why sometimes slowing down during your travels is the best course of action.
Josh gives you a sneak peek as to what to expect from the Hanging Coffins investigation.

OMG! I am updating in this thing at last. *thinks* Hasn't it been a year since I made this journal? Wow. I mean like, WOW. WoOooOoW!!! Ok, I'm done there. So anyway, I modified the look of this journal and and and it's purdy. The back ground is of Sydney from Vagrant Story. Heh, it makes my journal look all dark and evil looking. Hmmm, I gotta change the icon. God, I must be really BORED. Lately, all I have been doing is changing the layouts of my other journals. I hate having nothing to do, it get's me thinking too much and thinking has only been causing trouble for me.Oh yeah, well, I'm stopping here because #1 I'm using this journal for other matters or something. I don't really want to write anything about my personal life so, yeah. YEAH. ::ahem::¥Kimichi¥
Well, this is my first entry on this journal account. Heh, I doubt I'll be writing much in this journal since I already have one, else where. OMG, this site works so much faster. *swoon* I like the style. Anywho! So, I'm new, duh. Add me if you wish. My uJournal pen-name is Heartlessangel. Go read it if you want. OK, I'm going now. What a pointless entry, nee? Maybe tomorrow I'll post again with something worth talking about.Ja ne~Kimichi

|Did this climb yesterday, didn't see a fifth bolt like it says but the last 15 foot (possibly where another bolt is missing) is 5.7 climbing. Great climb. Nearly no feet makes it difficult but also easy to see where that one and only foot placement actually is.

Nick Jonas Lives Large, Despite Diabetes
Teen star says careful management and good support help keep him healthy
By Serena Gordon
HealthDay Reporter
FRIDAY, March 25 (HealthDay News) -- Teen superstar Nick Jonas may be the picture of health today, but five years ago his body was wasting away. Even at 13, Jonas knew something was wrong. He just didn't know what.
That something was type 1 diabetes, and though it's a disease Jonas will have for the rest of his life, he's healthy now because he spends a lot of time every day taking care of his diabetes.
"It was obviously a devastating thing to find out that I had diabetes, but it was also kind of a relief to find out that it was something that could be managed, and that I'd be all right as long as I stayed on top of it and did what I could to keep it in control," said Jonas, who's now 18.
The symptoms of type 1 diabetes tend to come on very quickly, noted Dr. Joel Zonszein, director of the Clinical Diabetes Center at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City. They typically include:
- Extreme thirst.
- A need to urinate frequently.
- Weight loss, often dramatic.
- Mood swings or irritability.
Type 1 diabetes is often confused with the more common type 2 diabetes. But, the cause and management of each disease is different. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly identifies the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas as foreign and destroys them. Insulin is a hormone that allows the body to process carbohydrates, including sugar.
Type 2 diabetes develops when the body stops using insulin effectively. It can sometimes be controlled with diet and exercise. Type 1 diabetes, on the other hand, must be treated with injected insulin.
The problem with insulin therapy, however, is that it's difficult to achieve the right balance. Too little insulin causes high blood sugar, and excess insulin can cause dangerously low blood sugar.
"Before insulin, type 1 diabetes was a catastrophe," Zonszein said. "Now, with insulin and newer technology, we know how to better treat these patients so they can live long lives without complications. But, a lot of the outcome depends on the patient. They have to be engaged and proactive with the disease."
Jonas has proven to be a great example of how an "intelligent, informed person can overcome and manage type 1 diabetes well with the tools we have nowadays," Zonszein said. "Someone without his personality might have more trouble managing his lifestyle -- and its stress, traveling, sleep changes, etcetera. He deserves a lot of credit for managing so well."
Jonas spoke recently to a crowd of fans, many with type 1 diabetes themselves, at the Diabetes Research Institute's Carnival for a Cure in New York City. Jonas, who was at the event as a spokesman for Bayer Diabetes Care, told his fans that he had promised himself that he wouldn't let diabetes slow him down.
And, it would seem he's kept that promise. Since his diagnosis, the Jonas Brothers band (Nick and his brothers Joe and Kevin) has released three albums, toured nearly constantly and starred in two seasons of a self-titled TV show. Last year, Jonas released his own album and toured with his band, Nick Jonas and the Administration, for several months.
To maintain this hectic pace, Jonas said he thinks about his blood sugar levels all the time and tests his blood sugar about 12 times a day. He has a blood sugar meter that allows him to easily upload his readings to his doctor so that even if he's on the road touring, he can get feedback on his diabetes management.
Jonas said that having diabetes hasn't been all bad. "It's been a part of my life that has turned out to be a blessing in some ways," he said. "I've been able to speak about it and hopefully bring a message of encouragement."
Still, he added, "I'd be lying if I told you that there weren't days that I wasn't frustrated with being a diabetic. It's definitely not something you ask for. There are moments when I think life would be a lot easier without it. But, then again, it's part of my DNA at this point, and it's given me an outlook on life that I think is very rare. When I was diagnosed, if we had waited two days, I could've been in a coma. A week later, and I could've died, so I'm very thankful that I've lived to see all of this."
Jonas' best advice for someone who's newly diagnosed? "No matter how independent a person you are, never be afraid to rely on your doctors and the people around you -- your family and friends," he said. "I wouldn't have been able to do all of this without the support of the people around me."

I drink as much Barolo as I can, but given the price of the wines, I
don't drink as much Barolo as I'd like to ;-) '97 was a low acid year
that, despite the hype it received early on in certain quarters, was
never destined for long life. Add to that the fact that many producers
were at that time toying with aging their wines in new oak, and there
have been persistent questions about the ageworthiness of those wines.
Still, don't take the prognostications on Cellartracker too seriously:
I've had numerous wines that they listed as beyond their "drinking
window" that were still quite alive and good.

News and Updates
10 - 7 - 2012
I know I've been away for quite a while but things
have been very busy around here. I will try to fill you in. since
I last wrote I've gotten PLANZET, INTRIGUE IN THE BAKUMATSU, HAKUOKI and
MAJIKOI: OH SAMURAI GIRL directed. That's quite a bit.. I will be
finishing up season 2 of HAKUOKI tomorrow and then by Wed. will be
moving into my next project but don't know if i can say or not yet.
the good news front I am finally working full time as an A.D.R. director
at the studio, and on the GREAT news front. I have gotten wonderful
girlfriend who is amazing (in fact we've been together a month today)
and I am just crazy for my Krystal. Those of you coming to Oni-con
may just get a chance to meet her as she will be there with me.
Speaking of Conventions I've got the site updated with pictures from
ANIME IOWA, GODAIKO CON, and
SAN JAPAN. I've also got two more
conventions up on my CONVENTION SCHEDULE
and will have one more to list hopefully very soon, as soon as they
announce me. For convention organizers I have updated my bio on my
CONVENTION INFORMATION page
I hope everyone
has a wonderful holiday season, I know mine will be full of fun,
romance, work, conventions and so many wonderful things. I will
try to get back and do the updates a little more often, and I'll be
doing another big Mock Combat Gallery update some time in December.
Until next time... Take care of each other.
Love and Laughter Always
It's been quite a while since I was able to update, but
that's not a bad thing, because I've been really REALLY busy. I've
had several conventions, and quite a bit of work. I got BOOK OF
BANTORRA finished (and am very proud of the show and the cast) And
immediately went to work on a new show that is going to be fun for
everyone to see. Four days after finishing that one I started on
the one that I'm currently working on. This has been my first day
off in quite a while, and since I've got conventions coming up soon I
new I needed to update before it got out of hand. Ha ha ha.
It's not a
huge update right now, but some great stuff.. I've got pictures up for
ANIME NORTH and
OMGcon, both are conventions that I love
dearly. I've also done an update to the
CONVENTION SCHEDULE and added two more that are coming up
soon, so take a look at that. I've got one or two more convention
announcements for this year. If my con schedule seems a little
light this year, it's because of the work that I'm getting to do at the
studio (which is always a good thing.)
I hope everyone is having as
wonderful as summer as I am, and with all the heat I hope you're all
staying cool. Until next time... Take care of each other.
and Laughter Always
Well it's been a little over a month and I'm back with
quite a bit. I told you last time that I was working on two shows.
Well one I can't talk about, but the other I'm happy to announce is BOOK
OF BANTORRA. It's got an amazing cast, some old familiar face and few
new ones as well. I am so proud of the work everyone has put in on
the show, and am in the final stages of recording season 2 of the show.
I've also been given my next 2 projects to work on, but as you all
know.. I can't talk about them yet.
What I can talk about are the
updates here. I've got pictures up from both
ANIME DETOUR and
ANIME BOSTON, and while I usually
try for a May update I'm happy to say that the
have been updated on pages 50,
51, 52,
53, 54,
55, 56,
57, 58,
59, 60,
61, and 62
(This includes pictures from Ikkicon, Ohayocon, Katsucon, Anime Detour
and Anime Boston) so there's quite a bit to look at.
Up next is ANIME
NORTH in Toronto, I am looking forward to getting back up there again
and seeing some old friends. This year may be a little slower for
me convention wise, as they are keeping me pretty busy at the studio
(not that I am complaining at all) so it's harder for me to take
time away from work to get out to as many shows, but know that I'll be
making it out to as many as I can, and I hope to see some of you when I
am there. You can check out the ones I will be at on my
Convention Schedule, and I will make sure
to announce any new ones that I am able to do, there as well.
So until
next time... Take care of each other
I actually got back for an update sooner than I expected.
I have been slammed at the studio, working on a project that I am beyond
excited about. It's got a huge cast with so much amazing talent
that I am floored with the way it's turning out. I've just gotten
volume 1 done and am already at work on vol. 2. While doing that I
was also doing another show that I'm very proud of. I can't name
either show yet, but as soon as I can I will let you all know
with the busy schedule I managed to get an update done. I had an
amazing time at KATSUCON and have the
pictures to prove it. It's always so good being in D.C. and
getting to see family and so many friends in that area. I've also
updated the Convention Schedule, with
another convention, and there will be more coming as I'm announced.
Coming up next is Anime Detour and Anime Boston, both shows that I love,
with staff that are like family, so I can't wait for that. Until
then I'll be locked in the studio working on the new show (Not that I
mind at all... I'm having a blast) Until then.. Take care of each
I apologize for the delay in the updates, but things have
been busy and there is so much that I'm excited to be able to share with
you, so I'm going to start with that. Back in December I announced
here that I was Directing EF~ A TALE OF MEMORIES. I've got a few
more announcements to make. At the end of February you'll be able
to see the follow up series EF~ A TALE OF MELODIES, which I also
directed. Another show that you should check out, I don't have the
release dates for yet, is DREAM EATER MERRY which I'm not only in
(Playing Jon Doe) but was also the ADR writer for the show along with my
good friend Clint Bickham. I've got two new projects that I'm
working on, and while I can't talk about them yet, I will just say that
I am very VERY excited about them.
So it seems like I'm just getting
this update done and I will be leaving Thurs. for my next convention.
I'm happy to say that I've got the pictures up from
Ikkicon part 1, and
part 2 (since it split the new year)
I've also got the page up for Ohayocon.
You can also see updates to my Convention
Schedule, and for conventions I've updated my
Convention Info page with a new bio to use.
As I said I've gotten
this done and will be leaving for Katsucon, on Thurs. and I look forward
to seeing all of my friends in that area. Until next time have fun
stay warm.. and take care of each other
12 - 26 - 2011
Wow, I think this is the longest the site has been
without an update and I apologize for that. So this is going to be
a REALLY BIG update. One of the reasons for the slow down on
the updates is that I've been back in the studio directing. I've
had two projects back to back and possibly have another coming up very
soon. I am not able to talk about all of them at the moment,
but I am able to say that the studio has announced that I am the
director for EF~ A TALE OF MEMORIES which will be out at the end of Jan.
I can't begin to tell you all how proud I am of the show and the amazing
cast, and so I hope you'll pick that up very soon.
I've also been
super busy with my end of the year conventions, and I have the updates
to prove it. I've got the convention pages up for
Sugiocon, and Yulecon. I have
also updated the Convention Schedule Page to include those and my last
con of the year Ikkicon in Austin Texas. Once again this con
will split the new year so it's my last con of 2011 and my first of
2012. So if you're in the Austin area please come down and have
some fun with us.
Also I have finally gotten a moment to add to the
ever growing Mock Combat for Cosplay
Gallery, I've added pages 43,
44, 45,
46, 47,
48, 49 and
50. So there's a lot of great new
material for you to take a peek at.
I had a wonderful Christmas
Holiday with my family and friends here in Houston, and hope that
everyone had a safe and fun Holiday Season. Please remember to
cherish and love the people around you, and let them know from time to
time how much you appreciate them, and how important they are to you. I
will be updating again soon with the con schedule for 2012 and until
that time... Take care of each other.
I know I've been gone a long time, but things have been
super busy around here. I can finally talk about the new project
at the studio. I did the ADR directing for NIGHT RAID 1931, it was
a lot of fun so I hope that you guys will check the show out. I
also did some ADR writing for a project that I can't talk about yet, but
as soon as I can you know I will tell you all right here.
I've also
had quite a busy summer with conventions, as the photographic evidence
will show. I've got pages up for
PortCon Maine, Wausaubicon,
San Japan and
I have a few more cons this
year that have not announced me yet.. and as soon as they do I'll be
updating my convention schedule and possibly posting a few of the
conventions for next year.
I hope that this update finds everyone well
and I hope to see you all at a convention real soon. Until next
time... Take Care of Each Other.
Hello everyone, sorry I've been away so long, but as soon as
I got back form Anime Boston, I got handed an exciting new project at
the studio here in Houston. I can't talk about it yet, but as soon
as I can I will be posting here so you all will can hear about it.
Despite some pretty long hours at the studio I've managed to squeeze
a few conventions in and have finally gotten to update the site here..
I've got pictures up from Anime Boston,
Anime North and
OMGcon. All of them were wonderful
and I had a great time.
I've also updated the Mock Combat for
Cosplay Gallery with new pictures on pages
38, 39,
40, 41,
42 and 43.
I will be doing some updates on the Convention Schedule page soon, so
keep a look out for that. Next convention coming up will be Port
Con Main. So hope to see some of you there Until next time... Take
Care of Each Other

Winter Weight Loss
Healthier Ways to Hibernate This Winter
The frigid weather and shorter days may make you want to hide out until spring. Here's how to give into that instinct without packing on pounds
Stay Cozy Without Kicking Your Healthy Habits
Stay active at home
Stay aware of your eating habits
Stock up on warm, comforting healthy foods
Stay hydrated
Stay hydrated
You may not crave a gulp of cool water this time of year, but you still need it, especially because the air tends to be dryer. "While you're not sweaty, you still lose moisture through your skin," Thayer says. If the thought of an ice-cold glass of water makes you shiver, opt for water at room temperature or sip a cup of herbal tea, which can be a great, low-calorie way to get your daily dose of H2O. The Institute of Medicine recommends about 9 cups of fluids a day for women and 13 cups for men. In addition to supporting your overall health, research has indicated that drinking water can facilitate weight management. "When you fill up on a no-calorie beverage, you may not feel like eating as much," Frechman says. Research has shown that people who drank water before meals consumed about 75 to 90 fewer calories during their meal than individuals who did not start with a glass of water. Plus, when hunger pangs hit, you might really be thirsty and not hungry, so before you reach for a snack, try quelling your appetite with a glass of water first.

this is the first time i have ever travelled for work. i stayed in this hotel because of the reasonable rate. however, when i woke up i saw a bllod stain on the bed that was not my own. the following day i broke out as a result of bed bugs or fleas and ended up in the emergency to get care for these bite. although the staff was friendly i only recieved a half hearted apology and no follow up. this does nt make up fro the severe itching or the blisters that i have endured, ecspecially so close to my wedding date. i hope the antibiodics work so these will be gone by the ime i get married.
Pig sty, false advertisingSubmitted by: dave in 28/07/08

This motel was the worst ever we have stayed in. I booked it over the internet and the cost and ammenities were grossly misrepresented. Their website quoted 79.90 for a Double bed, however our visa statement recorded a $107.17 plus another $5.18 internet hotel reservation - whatever that means? Upon checking out we were handed a receipt for $78.19 and so we thought that was the final charge,ie until we received our Visa statement. This Travellers Inn should be condenmed for its uncleaniness, its misrepresentation of rates and amenities of the place. The continential breakfast is a complete joke that we just kept on walking. I would hope that this review will help others in not being deceived by the info they feed you over their website.
Horrible service and roomsSubmitted by: Ashley in 09/01/08

I recently reserved to stay 2 nights at the Traveller's Inn in Red Deer, AB, Canada. The pictures on expedia of this place looked quite nice and the price seemed too good to pass up so I booked it, but when I got there and they showed me 2 different rooms I could stay in, I was scared to walk more than a few feet into the room. The rooms had a gross odor of food and uncleanliness and the lighting was dim. The places both look like they hadn't even been checked on in months. The front staff that I had dealt with over the phone and once I got there were both rude and didn't have a professional bone in their bodies. I would not recommend this place to ANYONE at ANYTIME.. I'd feel safer sleeping on a street bench.

With all the medical gear we PWDs have to carry around, it can be difficult to find the perfect bag to comfortably tote around all this stuff. (See Wil's rant on the man-purse for PWDs, for example.) At the AADE expo last week, we saw a few new options worth mentioning. All of these companies are also started by entrepreneurs — and we do love supporting small D-businesses here at the 'Mine!
First up is Sugar Medical Supply. Inspired by bags that her mother used to make for her and her sister, Carolyn Jäger launched Sugar Medical Supply with a glucose meter case that comes in seven different patterns.
As Carolyn says, "Sugar Medical Supply was created to bring style into the lives of people living with diabetes. Our supplies allow them to show a little personality, bring in some color, and make it fun!" The bags are a bit bigger than the traditional black bag provided with a glucose meter, giving space to slot in your meter, strip container, lancet, and an insulin pen. It also comes with an inside pocket and a front pocket for little extras. The "Universal Strap System" is flexible, which means that folks with different meters can use the bags with ease. It fits both my OneTouch Ultra and Amy's OmniPod PDA!
Thanks to Carolyn, Amy and I both received our own bags to try out and review.
I like mine. It's pretty and not too big and not too small. The only thing I found a little odd is that it unzips from right to left, instead of left to right as my Lifescan meter bag. Certainly not a deal-breaker, but it was the opposite of what I was used to.
Here's What Amy Had to Say -
"I have to admit that I love, love, love my new case from Sugar Medical Supply! It is the first stylish case I've found that actually fits the OmniPod (due to that clever Velcro-enabled "universal strap"). It's a little smaller than the equally pretty bag I received a while back from StickMeDesigns, and is simpler on the inside, i.e. fewer extra flopping zipper compartments. And to me, less is more! Yet there's still enough room, and just the right straps, to hold a backup insulin vial along with my meter supplies. This is something I should have been carrying around for a long time now — would have circumvented many a mad dash to my car or house for emergency backups!
"In addition, the material is less canvas-y with more of a slick polyester-ish surface, which is much better than it sounds: it's so darn easy to wipe off!
"I picked their blue, black and silver paisley design that matches perfectly with my metallic purse. It just makes me smile now whenever I see my new case. It's so attractive, and so clean and organized on the inside, that I almost feel like I'm sporting a whole brand new meter system.
"The only slightly weird thing, as Allison notes, is the direction of opening. In order to be able to keep the OmniPod strapped in while testing, with my test strip vial still in place, I have to sort of use the case upside-down. So now it opens like a book, unzipping bottom-to-top. This will take some getting used to! I'm also so used to zoning in on that little black square (my old Omnipod case from the manufacturer) that I often think I've forgotten my PDM – yikes! But no, no, there it is in its pretty new house
These bags retail for $29.95, which isn't super-cheap, but I have a feeling they'll hold up really well to wear and tear."
Pak Bara
Another exhibitor was Pak Bara, a company founded by sisters Karen Mucciaccio and Andrea Graham. The name "Pak Bara" is in honor of a small tropical island off the coast of Thailand, where their motto is "no limits, no worries!" Oh, if only diabetes was that easy… But in that spirit, Pak Bara is designed as an alternative to a fanny pack or purse, compact enough to be worn on an arm or waistband, but large and flexible enough to hold the essentials for diabetes, or for anything else you need to schlep around.
Pak Bara wasn't designed specifically for diabetes, but the founders soon realized the bags could be adapted to hold insulin pumps, glucose meters, glucose tabs, and another medical supplies. Purchasing a Pak Bara bag comes with a free strap attachment (arm band, leg band or clip), so the bags look especially useful for exercise, traveling or for anytime you don't want to worry about carrying a huge purse. And listen up, Men: This is an ideal option for anyone hunting for an alternative to the man purse!
Pak Bara is also reasonably priced at $32.95 (plus shipping + handling).
Ever search for an evening bag and come up short, unable to find anything big enough for you to cram your D-supplies into? BellaSoul, founded by the aunt of a type 1, has a line of both classy patent leather evening bags and embroidered shoulder bags that have built-in pockets for your diabetes supplies. Their mission? "Support diabetes management without compromising style and femininity."
The small shoulder bags come with built-in supply pockets, while the larger handbags have space for one of BellaSoul's diabetes organizers, which are sold separately and double as wristlets. However, both the small bags and the diabetes organizers seem to have only generic elastic bands to hold supplies in place, and I had some trouble figuring out how to arrange the various sizes of products without needing to put something large, like a meter, inside one of the inner pockets. That's a drawback, IMHO.
I enjoyed looking over their new line of evening bags, which are not yet available on their website. But I noticed that these bags also didn't seem to have an easily accessible place for the meter and lancet, other than the large inside pocket. There were two elastic bands in the center, but that's not enough to hold a glucose meter, test strip bottle and lancet right up front where you need them. Maybe they need to "beta test" these bags on some real type 1s…
We also find the price to be a bit steep: $80+ for the handbags and shoulder bags, and another $78 just for the organizer/wristlet. But the bags are handcrafted and very pretty, so if you used it every day, instead of just on special occasions, it certainly could be worth the investment.
Now it's your turn, Readers: what do you all use to carry around your D-stuff? Do any of these options look appealing to you?

text: Teams shut factories for compulsory break 3 August, 2010 Aug.3 (GMM) Formula one teams must close their factories for a mandatory two-week period between last Sunday's Hungarian grand prix and the next race in Belgium. The shutdown – commenced at the stroke of midnight after the Hungaroring race by McLaren, Mercedes, Williams and Sauber – is a cost-cutting measure agreed between the teams. "It still seems odd to me to have a shutdown but it's probably good for people," said McLaren's Martin Whitmarsh. It had been reported that Ferrari also closed its doors on Sunday, but the Maranello based outfit will in fact commence its shutdown next Sunday, as will F1's other Italian team Toro Rosso. Engine supplier Cosworth's F1 unit closed on Tuesday. "I think the staff all deserve a break," said Mark Gallagher. On Wednesday, HRT will begin its two week closed period, followed by Virgin on Saturday. And on Monday, Red Bull, Renault and Force India will close their doors. Tweet

Bought a used therminator from someone here, he said it had been shelved for a year.
I can't seem to get the thing totaly cleaned out. It is driving me crazy.
First I boiled it for a half hour, then ran hot water through the backflush hose to get out anything that came loose. Yesterday I cycled 10 gallons of hot PBW through it for at least a half hour followed by a 20 minute rinse with hot water and a star san rinse after.
There is still stuff coming out of it. I am trying to get it ready for a brewday on Monday.
What's the best way to get all the stuff that has been sitting in it for a year out? And then how do I know that it is completely clean?
DaveBlitzkrieg Brewery
Bake in oven on high temperature, cleaning cycle if you have it. You will most likely discolor it but everything inside will turn to ash and flush out.
I am assuming that once I get this year old stuff out, and start using this regularly, running hot PBW through it and rinsing with hot water right after brewing will be sufficient. No need to bake it everytime, is there?
I've never baked mine. I run some oxyclean into it and let it sit for a few days after every brewday. Then drain.
At least 30 batches through there, never had any restriction or other problem with it.
That's with regular cleaning. This crude has been sitting in it for a year.
It isn't that it has sat for a year. It is that too much hop material & trub got past the filtering or more than likely no FB or hop bag was used. I spent 4 hours trying to clean mine after the FB came loose and let leaf hops into mine, baking it was the only thing that finally got it free and clear. As long as you stop the stuff from getting in you should not have to bake it.
I'm guessing that if you don't have an oven, but do have a gas grill, you could just cook it on full-tilt for a while. That's my plan for my next brewing session; I'm going to toss my plate chiller on the grill and heat up to 700 or so for a while, and let cool. Then I'm going to rinse it out with water or maybe oxiclean, and then bake in the oven @ 350 for an hour.
I use Acid Number 5. Pricey, dangerous, but effective.
if you have a pump,run pbw through it for a few hours with warm water.
sanitize same way with 5 star or boiling water for 20 min or so...(thats what i do between long brewing breaks)

Add timeseries object to tscollection object
tsc = addts(tsc,ts)
tsc = addts(tsc,ts)
tsc = addts(tsc,ts,Name)
tsc = addts(tsc,Data,Name)
tsc = addts(tsc,ts) adds the timeseries object ts to tscollection object tsc.
tsc = addts(tsc,ts) adds a cell array of timeseries objects ts to the tscollection tsc.
tsc = addts(tsc,ts,Name) adds a cell array of timeseries objects ts to tscollection tsc. Name is a cell array of strings that gives the names of the timeseries objects in ts.
tsc = addts(tsc,Data,Name) creates a new timeseries object from Data with the name Name and adds it to the tscollection object tsc. Data is a numerical array and Name is a string.
The following example shows how to add a time series to a time-series collection:
Create two timeseries objects, ts1 and ts2.
ts1 = timeseries([1.1 2.9 3.7 4.0 3.0],1:5,... 'name','acceleration'); ts2 = timeseries([3.2 4.2 6.2 8.5 1.1],1:5,... 'name','speed');
Create a time-series collection tsc, which includes ts1.
tsc = tscollection(ts1);
Add ts2 to the tsc collection.
tsc = addts(tsc, ts2);
To view the members of tsc, type
at the MATLAB® prompt. the response is
Time Series Collection Object: unnamed Time vector characteristics Start time 1 seconds End time 5 seconds Member Time Series Objects: acceleration speed
The members of tsc are listed by name at the bottom: acceleration and speed. These are the Name properties of the timeseries objects ts1 and ts2, respectively.
The timeseries objects you add to the collection must have the same time vector as the collection. That is, the time vectors must have the same time values and units.
Suppose that the time vector of a timeseries object is associated with calendar dates. When you add this timeseries to a collection with a time vector without calendar dates, the time vectors are compared based on the units and the values relative to the StartDate property. For more information about properties, see the timeseries reference page.

Ham Face Girl - Cutest Littlest Horror Star Eats Her Own Face
When I first saw the Ham Face Girl video, I found it to be disturbingly silly. Then I watched it again ... and again... and again. Now I just think it is terrifying.
Ham Face girl will be the creature of my nightmares for many nights to come. This young Hannibella Lecter makes my skin crawl when she squeaks, "I eat my own face."
And get a listen to the mother in denial behind the camera, laughing hysterically as if there was something funny about her daughter eating her own face. I've seen a lot of scary movies, and I'd say this kid is future horror star material. The more I try to understand what she's saying, the more I think she's speaking in tongues.
I think I heard a Food Network plug in there at the end. Perhaps Paula Deen is behind this evil. Not every meal needs to be deep fried, Paula! Do you see what you've done to the children?! They're eating their own ham faces!

Titanium Spring Loaded Insoles help you combat Earth's oppressive gravity
Remember Moon Shoes, those crazy floating-inner-bucket booties that were all the rage in the '90s? These Titanium Spring Loaded Insoles are kind of like the adult version, promising to make you feel as if every step is considerably lighter. Each insole has five, 1/4 inch titanium springs that are said to not only cushion your footfall, but recoup some of that energy and transfer it into your stepping off, a bit like how regenerative braking allows electric cars to restore their energy.
The insole also features a honeycomb-padded surface that improves circulation, and an extra seven springs under the ball of the foot for a smoother step.
Titanium Spring Loaded Insoles are supposedly small enough that they are great for your everyday pair of shoes, athletic sneakers and working boots. And they're only $30.

Top Local Tips for Saltsjo Boo
Super Subway The best way to get around town is by foot. But if you've already exhausted yourself and you're a kilometer or two away from your hotel, hop on the subway. It's clean, easy to use, and extremely efficient (with electronic signs alerting you to the next arriving train or two). It will take you just about everywhere you want to go. It's also a bit of a museum piece, with different artwork at many of the stations.
SKAVSTA AIRPORT - not so difficult to get to Take advantage of Ryanair fares and don`t worry about the apparent long distance that their arrival point isfrom Stockholm. There is a lot os competition from rival coach companies transporting to and from and the journey only takes 1hour 20 mins to the city centre and is very reliable. Cost is about 100 sek (£9) return which is well worth it as taxis would be 10 times that amount. Coach arrives and departs from central station which is linked directly to underground and bus and train connections to all over Sweden (why can`t we ever get as organised as that?)

Hotel development is gradually returning to Boulder, Colo., the local Daily Camera reports.
Last month, for instance, developers broke ground on a Hilton-affiliated Hampton Inn & Suites hotel expected to open in June 2013, the story says.
The paper reports that new developments in various stages could bring four new hotels, with nearly 600 total rooms, to the city in the next two years if all goes well with financing and approvals.

This comes after the recession stalled or killed other hotel deals in the area. The four hotels in the works:
Rising occupancy rates in existing hotels are helping spur interest from developers. In June - the start of tourist season - Boulder's occupancy rate jumped 6% vs. June 2011, for instance, the article says.
"Both business and leisure travelers are returning," Walter Isenberg, CEO of Sage Hospitality told the paper in an e-mail.
Boulder now has 2,200 rooms at 25 hotels, motels and bed-and-breakfast inns.
"There's plenty of market space for additional hotels," said Scott Pedersen, of Pedersen Development Co. "Gunbarrel is outside of the core Boulder market; we won't see much impact from that."
The hotel projects are part of a broader building boom underway in Boulder, according to the Daily Camera.

M Is for Matchbox Advent Calendar
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
This Advent calendar starts as a miniature chest of 24 drawers. As its drawers are removed and reversed, a picture is revealed.
- 24 matchboxes
- Glue
- Paper
- Acrylic paint
- Ribbon
- Construction paper
- Scissors
- Small treats
Step 1
Remove matches from 24 matchboxes; glue the boxes in three stacks of eight.
Step 2
Glue stacks together to make the chest, then cut a strip of paper to wrap around the sides of the chest; glue it in place.
Step 3
With acrylic paint, number the front of each drawer. Turn the chest around; paint a tree or other design on the back.
Step 4
Remove drawers and glue a ribbon tab on the underside of each drawer on the numbered end.
Step 5
From construction paper, cut a square backing for the chest to keep drawers in place and hide the image; attach it at the edges with glue. Fill drawers with small treats and notes, and slip them back into the chest.

This document pertains to HP Notebook PCs with Windows 7.
This document provides important information you should know when attaching monitors, projectors or TVs to your notebook.
Choosing the right location for your monitor
Notice the location of windows in the room when deciding where to place the display. The screen can reflect direct sunlight or bright lights making viewing uncomfortable.
Select a location for the monitor or TV that is near the PC and a power source. Cables can be unsightly and should be hidden from view; such as by routing them behind the back of the desk between a wall.
Set the monitor or TV on a flat level surface. Make sure that the monitor or TV does not rest on any cables.
The height and angle of the monitor or TV should not cause neck or back pain during prolonged viewing. It should be positioned so the eyes of the person using the monitor or TV are at least one meter (three feet) away and only slightly angled down. An adjustable chair can help achieve a comfortable position.
NOTE:Most notebooks are smaller than typical monitors and will need a stand or small platform to raise it to the height and angle described above.
To connect an additional video display or TV to your notebook you will need the following:
- At least one video connection port.
- Correct type cable to connect the TV or external monitor.
Types of video connectors
Know the video connectors on your computer and display devices to avoid problems and get the best possible picture quality.
There are two types of video transfer methods: Digital and Analog. If you try to connect a digital connector to an analog port or vise versa, you will not be able to view video. Also, if you attempt to play protected high-definition digital content, such as Blu-ray movies, over an analog connection, you will probably get an error message or the movie will play at lower quality resolutions.
Click the appropriate heading or the accompanying plus (+) sign to expand the following information:
The HDMI connector is a digital connection type for transferring high-definition digital video signals AND audio signals. When used with a compatible monitor or television, HDMI has the capability of carrying true high-definition video and audio as well HDCP protected content (to play Blu-ray high-definition movies). If your computer has HDMI audio, it should be set as the default audio device in Windows audio properties (available from Windows Control Panel). The monitor or TV with HDMI must have speakers to hear audio.
The DisplayPort connector is a digital connection type for sending high-definition digital video signal AND an audio signal to a monitor with a DisplayPort connector. Display has very similar characteristics to HDMI but can also support a content protection method called DPCP in addition to the common format HDCP.
The DVI connector is a connector for sending a digital video signal to a display device. Use VGA or DVI, but not both at the same time. Some display devices have both a VGA connector and a DVI connector. If your PC supports DVI, try using the VGA for a while and then try using the DVI connection for a while. Then, use the connection that provides the best picture quality for your display device.
Carries both digital and analog signals. If your computer has a DVI-I port, you can connect to any DVI port on a monitor or TV or you can use a wide variety of adapters to connect to other types of ports.
Carries only digital signals. If your computer has a DVI-D port, you can connect to DVI-I or DVD-D ports. You can often connect to other types of digital connections using adapters. Does not connect to a VGA port.
Not common. Carries only analog signals. If your computer has a DVI-A port, you can connect to DVI-I or DVD-A ports. You can connect to a VGA port using an adapter. Does not connect to digital ports.

- The S-video and Composite connectors are used to send an analog video signal to a secondary display device, such as a TV. In some cases it is possible to use these connections for the main display, such as for using a TV as the only monitor for a PC, but doing so is not recommended.One example of using a secondary display is in a classroom environment; when connecting a video projector to a notebook that already has a built-in monitor, the instructor can use the built-in monitor for performing the actions on the computer while students observe the projected image of what the instructor is doing.
- Connect the speaker and microphone cable, if those connections are available on the display device. Some display devices may have built-in speakers or a microphone. Connect these cables to the computer.
- Connect the power cord to the display device and a power source.CAUTION:HP recommends connecting the monitor or TV to a surge protection device as the power source to prevent damage to the monitor or TV if a power spike occurs.
Using adaptors to help make the connection to a display device
What do you do when the video connector on the back of your computer does not match the video connector on the display device? Ideally, you want to have the same video connector on the PC and monitor or TV, but there may be times when this is not possible. The answer may be a special cable or adapter. For example, HP provides a small DVI to VGA adapter in the box with many of its computers. Connect this adapter to the DVI port on the computer and then connect the VGA cable from the monitor or TV into the adapter.
Another good answer may be a special cable that has different connection types on each end. Make sure you know the two types of video connectors before purchasing an adapter or cable.
NOTE: An HDMI connection can also carry audio. HDMI audio is lost when using a DVI to HDMI adapter or cable solution.
NOTE:You cannot connect DVI-D to VGA.
Configuring your monitor in Windows 7
Use the following steps to provide Windows with the settings for your monitor, projector or TV:
- Turn on the monitor or TV.
- Turn on the notebook.
- When Windows opens, it should find the monitor(s) using Windows Plug and Play process. Give Windows extra time to start up while it installs the necessary files for the monitor or TV.NOTE:Most monitors work fine without installing any software by using Microsoft's Plug and Play. However, if your monitor came with a software installation disc, you should install any drivers related to the monitor to get the best experience.
- Once Windows has finished Plug and Play, right-click anywhere on the Windows desktop and select Screen Resolution to open a Display Properties window.
- Set the Resolution slider to match the default resolution of your monitor.For LED and LCD displays, refer to the box, user guide, or product specifications to find the native display resolution.For older CRT monitors (the viewing area is a large glass tube) the display resolution can be set to whatever looks best - a good resolution for CRTs is 1024 x 768.
- Click OK.Your monitor has been installed.
NOTE:Note: If the picture displayed on the TV or monitor does not fit on the screen, or has blank areas to the sides of the screen, then use the TV or monitor zoom or aspect ratio feature. On TVs, aspect or zoom is usually found as a button on the remote control.
Setting your display properties in Windows 7
After connecting your TV or external monitor, you can choose a desktop configuration:
- Click Start, enter external in the search field, and select Connect to an external display when it becomes available in the list.
- Click the drop-down menu for Multiple displays, select one of the configurations, then click Apply.
Duplicate these displays, sometimes known as mirroring the displays, shows one desktop on all displays. This configuration is most commonly used for presentations; meaning that the presenter works from a smaller monitor while the audience views the presenter's work from a larger TV, monitor, or projector.
The computer is now ready to display the same screen on all output devices, from monitors to projectors. Press the fn and f4 function keys at the same time to switch the image from the notebook display, to the external monitor, or to both.
Extend these displays mode shows the Windows desktop extended across all displays. This configuration is most commonly used to get more workspace. You can take advantage of the extra workspace to view different applications on different displays.
To help identify your monitors, click Identify Monitors. The numbers 1 or 2 are shown on the monitor icons to help you identify them.
(Optional) To adjust the resolution, in the Display Settings window, select a monitor and slide the resolution slide bar. Click OK to save the setting and exit.
(Optional) To change the direction the desktop will extend (left or right to match how the displays are physically set up), select a monitor and drag it to the desired position.
Show the desktop on only one display is similar to the extended desktop, except that the desktop is shown on only one display. The extra display will be blank, but still functions as an extension of your desktop. You can use this function to hide the desktop during a presentation, but still see the desktop on your personal monitor.
The computer is now ready to display the same screen on all output devices, from monitors to projectors. Press the fn and f4 function keys at the same time to switch the image from the notebook display, to the external monitor, or to both.
