SWTOR beta test weekends to begin September 2nd {Massively}
Sep 6th 2011 8:54PM @SpencerRuler I signed up for Beta October 24 2009 and I am still not in on the Beta unless I got the email and deleted it in my spam folder and somehow haven't found where to download it on the main page.

Jun 3rd 2011 5:41PM Actually I don't think I have ever lvled a tankable class using anything other than their tank specs...I find lvling as a tank to be far more fun than lvling as dps
Phat Loot Phriday: Gorehowl {WoW}
Jun 3rd 2011 2:37PM Why downrate this guy? Other than a lot of typos...I mean as long as he was telling the truth there I don't see why he should be downrated, according to his story he won the offspec roll for the weapon and then the loser QQed about it. Oh Nd also according to his post this happened after his guild fell apart so what's with the random pally hate?
WoW Rookie: A rookie's outlook on patch 4.2 {WoW}
May 26th 2011 4:14PM I am shocked that the comments aren't already full of the usual "Blizzard sucks for giving people with lives outside of WoW a chance to see the raids we "worked" so hard to get done once we have all but forgotten they exist" crowd...they are usually pretty quick to point how much better they are than the rest of us and how we have no right to see raids since we don't devote all of our time outside of work to gearing up and studying you tube raid videos with a notepad and pen.

Cross-realm Dungeon Finder premium service coming soon {WoW}
May 18th 2011 4:14PM I love how people keep saying roll a character on their realm. Well here is a news flash for all of you, some of us have real lives with jobs and bills and families and won't be playing at lvl 85 with pur friends 2 days after rolling a new toon. The fact of the matter is this feature gives people with the money to spend, actual price is irelevant...for those of you who have never had to live on any sort of budget even an extra $5 a month can be out of the question, a feature that is one of many solutions to a broken system that the WoW community as a whole has been begging for. The fact that blizzard didn't ignore our plees to do something to make using the RDF less of a torture test and give us at least some way to remove some of the anonimity that allows asshattery to go unchecked and rather than implementing the fix to ease some of the communities stress and instead are going to make it a paid premium feature is a testiment to the decline in how much blizzard cares about the player base as a whole. This makes me wonder if now they will give us an option to pay to block players from our dungeon groups...because playing with an asshole who tried to ruin your game experience doesn't actually stop you from playing...so no real advantage to a new dungeon block system right?
Patch 4.2 PTR: Tier 12 set bonuses {WoW}
May 5th 2011 11:45AM You must be doing it wrong, I have 1 T11 peice on my mage and no other raid gear and still top 3 DPS when I do decide to raid on him.
Patch 4.2 PTR: Tier 12 set bonuses {WoW}
May 5th 2011 11:41AM If the amount of healing isn't either increased or effected by your SP then the lightwell thing is useless, 5K healing every 10 seconds for a raid geared tank would be like giving a WoTLK raiding tank 100 hp every 10 sec for 45 seconds....plus its overall effectiveness depends on how much fire is going to get dropped on the ground in the firelands raids, won't do much good at all if no one can get to it to use it.
Zarhym talks premium WoW services {WoW}
May 4th 2011 4:08PM @PodPeople- while your statement about the multi month bundle increase is true, when they say the subscription price has not increased they are talking about the $15 month to month fee since that is the actual subscription price, the lower cost multi-month fees are considered a discount off of the subscription fee so if those prices increase but the $15 stays the same then all they are doing at that point is reducing the discount %, so technically the statement that they have not increased the sub fee can be considered absolutely true. I see where you were coming from but from a legal/business standpoint since they have always advertised the multi-month subs as "discounted" then the month to month would be the only one taken into account when discussing subscription fee flux.
Patch 4.1 PTR: Hints of a new Hallow's End {WoW}
May 3rd 2011 1:43PM They also added Murloc, Ogre, and Vrykul masks, none of which (except maybe ogre since there was once a time when the Orcish Horde employed the use of Ogres) are viable as a PC race since they have no faction ties, as the naga have no faction ties with either faction. So I wouldn't go getting excited over it.

Flagship VentureLabs Launches Midori Renewables
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Flagship VentureLabs announced today that Midori Renewables is globally deploying their Breaking the Biomass Barrier™ technology, a novel catalyst that melts non-food biomass into low cost sugar, enabling the production of many valuable renewable products and animal feed. Midori's catalyst is a solid material, not an enzyme, micro-organism, or aqueous acid, that can be easily separated from the reaction and reused, resulting in a significantly lower cost solution than existing technologies.
"We evaluated hundreds of technologies before we invented our own solid catalyst, which is truly an innovative way to produce ultra low cost sugars for sustainable bio-based products," said Dr. Brian Baynes, Founder and Chairman of Midori and Partner at Flagship VentureLabs. "People have been trying to cost-effectively break down cellulose in biomass for more than 100 years, and we have finally done it." Midori's technology has been shown to be effective on a variety of biomass feedstocks and can bolt-on to existing corn, sugarcane or palm oil processing facilities, converting low value cellulosic waste into high value, usable sugars.
Over the past 12 months, Midori has been testing its technology in a range of markets including, renewable fuels, renewable chemicals, food/feed, and consumer goods materials, converting biomass into sugar at costs as low as pennies per pound. Midori has already been issued two foundational U.S. patents on its catalyst technology and has more than 10 additional families of patents pending worldwide. The company will begin constructing a commercial demonstration facility in 2014 and is currently in partnering discussions with several engineering, procurement and construction firms to build the plant.
Midori is assembling a world class leadership team led by Daniel Trunfio, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Midori has made a significant technology breakthrough, one of the most substantial I have seen in my three decades in the oil and gas industry," said Mr. Trunfio. "I am very excited to be leading Midori into its next phase of growth."Mr. Trunfio has 30 years of domestic and international experience in the oil and renewable fuels industries. He began his professional career with Royal Dutch Shell Petroleum Company in 1984 and held increasing leadership roles including Vice President and General Manager and led the development and implementation of Shell's bio-fuel strategies and operations worldwide. Mr. Trunfio also held senior positions in trading, supply chain management, marketing and operations.

The Fastest Way to Reach The End
To get to the end of Minecraft you'll need a few things and once you get there you'll need to worry about defeating the Enderdragon.
Diamond pickaxe
A diamond pickaxe is number one priority because you'll need it to get obsidian (to get to the Netherworld) but more importantly to get more diamond.
A Nether portal
Once you gather enough obsidian to make a Nether portal you'll need to go to the nether once there you'll need to find a fortress made out of nether brick. Inside one or two of the many of them you'll find a Blaze spawn.
Blaze sticks
Here you'll find a Blaze spawn do not destroy the spawn but instead just wait for the Blazes to spawn and kill them until you acquire 6 blaze sticks once you get those you can leave the nether. (quickest and least resource consuming way to kill a blaze is with a snowball)
You need to kill a couple of Enderman to get Enderpearls the other half of the recipe for the Eye of Ender. You'll need to get 12 Enderpearls which are only occasionally dropped by an Enderman.
Find the end portal
Once you make the Eye of Ender or all twelve you'll need to throw them into the air. They will travel towards the portal once you can throw one in the air and it doesnt go anywhere, dig down you should find a brick fortress containing the End Portal
The end
Once you find and place 12 Eyes of Ender into The End Portal you'll be able enter and fight the Enderdragon. It will be also filled with Enderman and a few tall towers where you'll need to climb and destroy the pinkish block that regenerates the dragons health. Once you destroy all of those make your way to the middle where you can fight the dragon when he lands. The quickest way to take him out is with enchanted bow and arrows. Goodluck!

Tort "Deform" Perpetrated by Right Wing to Deny Individuals of Constitutional Rights
Corporate America has campaigned for more than thirty years to brainwash average people into believing that America's civil justice system is a bad thing. Sadly, the campaign has worked, fostering views contrary to one of the most fundamental principle on which America was founded: that the courts are to be a neutral forum in which the small can take on the big. Reference: We the People.
The purpose of this blog is to build a resistance to the propaganda through education. Ignorance is not bliss when basic civil rights hang in the balance.
What is the civil justice system? It is the system individuals and corporations use for redressing alleged wrongs. The fundamental components of the system are judges, juries, and lawyers.
What is a "tort"? A tort is harm caused intentionally or by negligence. The best known torts involve personal injuries, but can include other types of damages. The aggrieved party, the Plaintiff, sues the Defendant, for monetary damages.
Aren't these personal injury or "tort" lawsuits flooding the courts? No. Tort cases make up only 6 percent of the entire civil court caseload and they are decreasing. The National Center for State Courts shows a 21 percent decline in tort filings from 1996 to 2005. Richard LaFountain et al., Examining the Work of State Courts: A National Perspective from the Court Statistics Project (National Center for State Courts 2009) at 1, 2. (The Court Statistics Project is a joint project of the Conference of State Court Administrators, the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics and the National Center for State Courts.)
- Only 10 percent of injured Americans ever file a claim for compensation, which includes informal demands and insurance claims. Only two percent file lawsuits. David A. Hyman and Charles Silver, "Medical Malpractice Litigation and Tort Reform: It's the Incentives, Stupid,"59 Vand. L. Rev. 1085, 1089 (May 2006) (citing Thomas F. Burke, Lawyers, Lawsuits, and Legal Rights: The Battle over Litigation in American Society 3 (2002));Rand Institute for Civil Justice, Compensation for Accidental Injuries in the United States (1991).
- Academics generally concede there is no evidence that "frivolous" lawsuits are a problem.
- In 1999, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) concluded that between 44,000 and 98,000 Americans die each year (and 300,000 are injured) due to avoidable medical errors in hospitals alone. Yet eight times as many patients are injured as ever file a claim; 16 times as many suffer injuries as receive any compensation. The Harvard School of Public Health closely examined 1,452 closed claims and concluded that "[p]ortraits of a malpractice system that is stricken with frivolous litigation are overblown." David M. Studdert et al., "Claims, Errors, and Compensation Payments in Medical Malpractice Litigation," New England Journal of Medicine, May 11, 2006. The study found that most injuries resulting in claims were caused by medical error, and that those that weren't were, nevertheless, not "frivolous" claims.
- In 2005, tort jury and bench trials together constituted 1.3 percent of all general civil dispositions in 79 jurisdictions reporting and 3.5 percent of all tort dispositions in 104 jurisdictions reporting.
But isn't it easy to "win" money in a lawsuit by forcing the other side (usually an insurance company) to settle? No. Insurance companies do not settle frivolous cases. For example, Duke University Law Professor Neil Vidmar found in his research: "In interviews with liability insurers that I undertook in North Carolina and other states, the most consistent theme from them was: 'We do not settle frivolous cases!' The insurers indicated that there are minor exceptions, but their policy on frivolous cases was based on the belief that if they ever begin to settle cases just to make them go away, their credibility will be destroyed and this will encourage more litigation."

During yesterday's Apple developer preview, the latest addition to Apple's arsenal was unveiled, iAd. The platform aims to make it easy for developers to monetize their free iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad applications by providing a simple, Apple controlled platform that allows them to provide ads to their users.
While there is nothing revolutionary about ad networks, I believe this specific implementation is. Why?
For starters, much like the app store, iAd provides developers the opportunity to reach millions of users with a low cost of entry (implement iAd into your app and receive a 60/40 split of revenue). Secondly, advertisers suddenly have an entirely new canvas, apps (apps are the new website after all), that allows them to reach users in all new ways.
The real magic, however, is the user experience and closed system that Apple has created.
Critics will respond to the phrase "closed system" with anger, fear, and even flat out rage but let's think about this before making any final judgements. The reason iAd has a chance to change how users interact with ads is simple: The fear and unknown of clicking on an ad is gone. Apple is throwing its brand behind an entire ad network to create the perception that if you trust Apple, you can trust these ads too! Worried about installing malware from clicking on that ad? Hate that ads open up a new window? No problem, Apple has solved this by keeping these ads within the app itself and vetting all of the ads on their network.
iAd reminds me of two ad networks I'm already a fan of, The Deck and Fusion Ads. Their ads are well designed, they advertise in applications I use and love, and they vet everyone on the network before accepting them. If you've ever used the free Twitter clients Tweetie or Twitterrific, you've seen these ads.
If Apple can convince its users that it's safe to click anything with the iAd logo they will have single handedly changed the perception users have of ads, resulting in more clicks and more money made by both Apple and developers.
They will have done this by taking advantage of a closed system, their own brand, and a platform that their users already love (the app store).
I'm curious to hear how some of Austin's local startups and App Store developers will react to and implement iAd (this is your cue to comment).
Developers can start taking advantage of the new tools in OS 4.0 today but we won't actually see the new ads or other features in our apps until this summer. It's going to be very exciting to see how this plays out. My conclusion? Google should start worrying right about now.

Now I know why McCain suggested Obama send Bill Clinton to the Middle East as a special envoy. She's a slippery one: she will do anything to get out of answering questions on Benghazi. Obama is doing a lot of slithering too.
- November 20, 2012 at 9:08 am
Spox for the WhiteHouse have denied reports that the FirstLady, Michelle Obama, had threatened to "drag Hillary (Sec of State, Hillary Clinton) by her hair to the MiddleEast and force her to do her job" so as to put an end to the conflict that was claiming headlines that rightfully belonged to PresObama.
President Obama is meeting with Asian leaders in an attempt to reduce the amount of the "vig" that America must pay on loans secured from dubious sources in that part of the world. Claiming that the "rich aren't coughing up their share of taxes", and general difficulties with rising expenses, the Prez promised that he'll start paying as soon as the Repubs understand the situation. There was no public response from the Asian leaders.
In an unrelated item, MrObama was treated and released from the Ah-So Medical Center after he reportedly tripped over a rug and twisted his right knee.
House Repubs have decided that MrObama's throw-down to them to take the fight to the WhiteHouse over MsRice's future and past actions, is something they're willing to do. The Repub's claim that MsRice isn't "fit" to hold any job in the government as a result of her claim that a u-tube video was responsible for a terrorist attack that claimed the life of four Americans, the career of a respected General, the break-up of four long-time marriages and making the StateDepartment look stupid, is the first salvo in what appears to be a contentious Senate hearing on her appointment as Sec of State.
NewJerseyGov, Chris (gimme a hug) Christie, has offered a defense for his betrayal of his Repub friends during a meeting with PresObama after the hurricane, Sandy, devasted his state. Claiming a severe reaction to his allergy of salt water made him temporarily insane wherein he believed that MrObama was indeed "Black Jesus".
PresObama will make the final decision on the Keystone project after the Obama family enjoys their traditional Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. He plans to ask his two daughters for their opinions on the pipeline, because in their role as Presidential advisors, they had given him what proved to be excellent advice on the issue of gay marriage in America.
DougRoss is offering a history of public sector unions in his popular blog today. The summary: public sector unions are greedy, lazy, and a threat to the future of the US.

Applause!!! Take a bow, srdem!
Update on Michelle/Hillary catfight: Hillary is claiming that Barack's Nobel Peace Prize belongs to her. Michelle says 'over my dead body'. Bubba hires lawyer. Stay tuned!

Bravo, srdem.
And in other news…No pardon for the Tayyip the "turkey" on Thanksgiving – Erdogan is getting a "stocking stuffer" for the holidays -the Patriot Missile System for all his help and support in Libya.
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan described Israel on Monday as a "terrorist state".

concentrations of at least 37,000 Bq m-3 (which is close to the US average soil-gas radon concentration) are needed to provide an adequate test of radon resistance in houses. This concentration was used as the selection criterion for many of the houses evaluated as part of the FRRP because it was felt that lower soil-gas radon concentrations would not test the system (Fowler and others 1994).
Of the 16 homes, four had basement radon concentrations greater than 150 Bq m-3, and one of these also had radon concentrations measured on the first floor greater than 150 Bq m-3 (all these values were measured with the passive system fully operational, that is, with the passive stack open). In each case, these were single sets of measurements, conducted with the passive stack first closed, then open. In four of the 16 cases, the stack-open measurements were conducted in the summertime, when driving forces for both radon entry and passive-stack operation are minimal.
Other studies of radon-resistant construction have had similar results and limitations (Saum 1991; Brennan and others 1990; Saum and Osborne 1990). None of these studies had a non-radon-resistant baseline against which to evaluate the overall effect of the techniques. In many cases, soil-gas concentrations were not measured, so it is difficult to determine the radon-entry potential for the specific houses. Most of the studies conducted stack-open versus stack-closed evaluations.
Overall, the inclusion of the passive stack had the largest effect in houses with basements. In some cases, the short-term measurements suggest reductions as great as 90%, compared with stack-closed basement radon concentrations. On the average, reductions of about 40% are more typical. For slab-on-grade houses, the effect of the passive stack is considerably reduced. Comparing the stack-open and stack-closed measurements from the few houses for which there are data reveals no discernible effect. In part, that is due to the low soil-gas radon concentrations in one study. Thus, with one exception, all the initial stack-closed indoor radon concentrations are low. In the FRRP studies, soil-gas radon concentrations were often high (this was one criterion in the choice of study houses), but, as noted earlier, the passive stack was thought to be a less integral part of the radon-resistance system.
Three key questions remain unanswered:
With one exception, no side-by-side comparisons address this question. A study of 89 homes in two areas near Colorado Springs was conducted in which 54 new homes were built within two subdivisions; 35 homes built without any radon-resistance features served as "control" homes. Of the 54 homes, 12 were tested as radon-resistant (the remaining 42 used active, mechanical systems for radon control). Radon was measured in the basements with 2-d open-face charcoal canisters, all on the same 2 days in December to remove weather effects

Get in the saddle for 30 Days of Biking in April
Ride your bike every day and tell the world about it!
Do you ride your bike every day, or need a bit of extra incentive to do so? Well, now there's an extra reason to do so with the launch of the 30 Days of Biking – slogan, 'We ride our bikes. every. friggin'. day. '– from 1 April. As the name suggests, the idea is to get you riding your bike every single day of the month, while using a variety of social media to keep in touch with like-minded people doing the same.
As the organisers put it, "The only rule for 30 Days of Biking is that you bike every day for 30 days—around the block, 20 miles to work, whatever suits you—then share your adventures online. We believe biking enriches life, builds community, and preserves the Earth. This is the second year, and third round, of 30 Days of Biking!"
The initiative was launched in Minnesota last year, but thanks to the power of websites such as Twitter word has quickly spread – it even got a mention in the Watford Observer last month, with West Hertfordshire cycling campaign group Spokes encouraging local cyclists to take part.
To take part, all you have to do is register on the 30 Days of Biking website, which the organisers say "will shoot your name onto our master participants list, setting your name in virtual stone. Interaction from here is up to you! Bike every day, then tweet (using the hashtag #30daysofbiking) or blog, or Facebook, or Flickr, or Tumblr, or Daily Mile, or write a snail mail letter about it. Make videos and songs. Be pleased as punch you're biking and fulfilling an awesome goal."
With the clocks going forward and the weather improving, what better excuse do you need to get out and about on your bike?
Happy riding.
Pah, what a load of ridiculous Freds. Somehow I have managed to ride every day in most months for most of my life, with the need to boast about it on web sites with missing 'e's in their names.
Riding 30 straight days in April is easy. Riding 30 days in February, now that's hard.

Couldn't agree more
You're missing the point here I think... good to share your achievements (however small), and hopefully inspire others to get out there too!
Rode to the train station and locked up my bike, unlocked it and rode back again. Rode to the train station, rode back again. Rode to the train station and had to avoid a big dog, rode back again.
Nope, don't think anyone wants to read that.
Nice endo by the way Morgan.
Personal point of view. Yes, this would be easy if I were still commuting, did so by bike for a few years in Oxford/London, 12 months of the year.
Now though, with one thing and another (work from home, dog to look after/take for walks, live a couple of minutes' walk from high st shops), I don't get out on the bike nearly as much as I should.
So, if this little goal of doing a ride each day of April helps me get out every day, even if it's just riding to the next village and back, I'm up for it.
And after 30 days of it, I think the habit would stick through the Summer and hopefully into the autumn/winter.
I somehow think the idea may not be aimed at compulsive bike-botherers. Count bum spots, change your tyres every trip, snort energy drinks, pull a lorry driver. It will be fine.
What you have said is actually quite amusing, if not a little cynical. Yes, I would like to read that sort of thing...it means you are involved and participating. By extension you can show other people how easy it is to get on your bike - do you see?
30 Days of Biking is about showing others how viable the bike is as a method of transport and how much fun it can be on two wheels under your own steam.
The benefits of riding a bike are clear to you but perhaps not to others. This is a good thing.
Mark Tearle
Yeah that's the way I see it too, surely the point is to show people that don't ride a bike that often that riding a bike every day for 30 days is pretty easy, and better still really enjoyable too. Then maybe at the end of 30 days they'll feel inclined to keep on riding
Obviously a lot of us regular bike riders know that anyway, but that doesn't mean to say we all do it, so this is a way for even experienced cyclists to challenge themselves to to a bit more cycling. On both levels it seems like a good idea to me.
Man, this is what I hate about "cyclists" Not want anyone else to join your little tribe, do we? I ride most days too, but if tweeting about it gets someone else to consider giving it a go, then that's great.
Have it in February and everyone else (on the 99% of journeys not made by bike) will continue to think that riding's for freaks and masochists. Let's sell the joys of spring air and fluffy lambs, not keep cycling for the few hard men.
PS Where's the missing E? Or do you think it's 30 days of Bikeing?
Thanks. I feel much better now. I'll try not to make my second post here a rant.
Pants. That was my second post. The first was a schwag entry...
"Riding 30 days in February, now that's hard"
Get a life.
Maybe we should ban people from talking about climbing Snowdon until they have managed the Eiger. Do you have gears on your bike ? If so, I suggest you get a fixie and follow the 1910 TDF route, then come back and talk about hard. The internet is a wonderful way of sharing experiences small and great, and for a lot of people 30 days of cycling will feel epic. Dont mock or disparage them, your own achievements are surely nothing in comparison to someone else's - it doesn't matter, they still have value. Belittling initiatives like this is small minded and only highlights your own inadequacies.
Wishing I had started 20 years earlier...
If 30 consecutive days of riding in the spring is too easy, there's always the Cent Cols or the Race Across America. Everyone should have a goal...
Somehow I have managed to ride every day in most months for most of my life, with[out] the need to boast about it on web sites
You just did.
Thanks for the mention!
I cocreated 30 Days of Biking, with my friend Zachariah Schaap, and want to get as many people biking as possible! The event's about helping people really and truly integrate bicycling into their lives. Every 30 Days of Biking participant means one more car off the road, if only for one trip. That alone makes a difference.
Here's what one lady who had never considered biking a viable form of transportation said: "My life changed when I did 30 days of biking last year. I started riding on April 1st and rode every friggin day until July 9th! 99 days. I became a biker. My husband and I started doing bike rides for dates, I biked for errands, I biked to work, we biked to dinner, we biked to the beach. It transformed me. It has been a long winter, I did some of my first winter biking, although not much, and can't wait to get back out there on a more regular basis. @patiomensch and @zachamon rule!"
P.S. As far as hard men go, I'd like to see if handlebarcam could survive a Minnesota February, which is what I just biked through.
As a copy editor, I also have to address this:
"Riding 30 straight days in April is easy. Riding 30 days in February, now that's hard."
It's not hard; it's impossible. February has only 28 days.
As a copy editor, I also have to address this:
"Riding 30 straight days in April is easy. Riding 30 days in February, now that's hard."
It's not hard; it's impossible. February has only 28 days.
Really? Hold on while I go and check my calendar...
...where is that thing...
...oh yes, down the back of the sofa...
...OK, no, you are wrong. My calendar clearly states that there were 30 days in February. True, I did get it from my local pound shop's reduced-to-10p bin, along with copies of Catch-24 by Joseph Holler and 1986 by Jimmy Orwell. But it must be right, because I've got February 30th marked as my monthly day to stand on a street corner and shout abuse at people riding hybrid bikes, and I never miss that.
Haha, I can't deny you your February 30 fun! I love me some Holler and J. Orwell.
What a sad lot we are when something comes along to encourage those none regular cycle users to try cycling on a regular basis, we get these trumpet blowing weezes who like to blow loud and clear abut how they are so great and regular on a bike in all weathers but can't seem to understand a simple concept of trying to promote the bike to more people. have these people not realised that the more cyclists there are the better is for all of us. Cycling should not be this elitist like these trumpet blowing weezes wish it was.
One last note. Check out our ongoing Twitter stream here: http://bit.ly/30Stream
Like Simon MacMichael, I love cycling but don't ride every day because work's too far away, life/family takes up time etc. Anything to motivate me to get out more is a good thing
More power to the 30DaysofBiking guys, and a happiness transplant for the haters
Conscientious Objector in the War on Vulnerable Road Users
I was quite tickled with the idea of having a crack at Rapha's 'Festive 500' - I didn't manage to complete it. Had great fun trying though! I'm equally taken with the thought of riding the 30 days of April. Sitting here now, of course I've convinced myself I'm going to do it all. Whether I do or I don't I know I'll have fun, as will all the others who use it as a focus to try to get out even more regularly. I doubt that I'll write about it, but I'll enjoy reading the stories of other people that do. I think it's a splendid initiative.
Yeah I looked for the missing Es too. they're there alright - "Flickr" and "Tumblr".
Come over to Facebook and do the 'like' thing http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/30daysofbikingUK/191968464178238 Use it to find out what others are up to, and put a call out to organise your own events/group rides - regular updates here and on the twitter hashtag #30daysofbiking
Enjoy it, April is going to be a lot of fun!

The fact that you did that video & was so natural. Words cannot even describe how much joy I had watching that video. You're so relaxed & chill. Your personality really showed in the chubby bunny video. My goodness, I love your videos so much & I absolutely adore you! Keep this up, don't ever stop or change.

Las Vegas Leads the Golf Boom Remember when Las Vegas was synonymous with blackjack and breakfast buffets? Most non-gamblers wouldn't visit even if you tempted them with a complimentary room and a free bucket of quarters. Just 10 years ago, golf was practically unheard of. But in the past five years, metro Las Vegas has nearly doubled its courses, from 21 to 41, with up to 10 more on the way. The city has become a bona fide golf destination, with world-class courses such as the Jack ...

With two Brooklyn hospitals teetering on the edge of shutting down, the battle is continuing over New York Methodist Hospital's plans to expand, and though the hospital has already adjusted its plans once, it may have to do so again because of community opposition. NY1's Jeanine Ramirez filed the following report.
A group called Preserve Park Slope put together a video of how they say New York Methodist Hospital's proposed expansion will loom over the Park Slope neighborhood. The coalition is made up of about 300 residents who object to the hospital's plans.
"Please understand. We're not opposed to the expansion of Methodist Hospital," said Stuart Klein of Preserve Park Slope. "What we are opposed to, what the community is opposed to, is this level of expansion."
On Tuesday, those in favor and against the construction of a new facility made their case in front of the city's Board of Standards and Appeals. That's because Methodist needs zoning variances to build such a large building in the residential neighborhood, and it's the board that decides.
Methodist says it needs a state-of-the-art facility to stay competitive.
"The space that's required for all of the equipment, and the staff that are required in order to use all of that technology, actually commands a much larger room than what we currently have in our ambulatory surgical center in the hospital," said Lauren Yedvab, senior vice president of Methodist Hospital. "Imaging, robotic services, those all take up a lot more room, and therefore, we have to build it much larger in order to accommodate our growing needs."
What the hospital proposes is a U-shaped building that would keep most of its operations under one roof. This plan has been revised several times to accommodate community concerns about height, bulk and congestion.
The community board had given its conditional approval pending adjustments to the plan, but on Tuesday, it was not satisfied with the changes.
"Where it stands now is not where the community board would like to see it," said Daniel Kummer, the chair of Community Board 6.
"The proposed architectural design is inconsistent with the character of the historic neighborhood, poorly conceived, wrong for Park Slope, and the variances should be denied," said Daniel Abramson, a Park Slope resident.
The board made no decision Tuesday but did ask both sides to submit more supporting evidence. A second public hearing is scheduled for April 8.

Obamacare costs for farmers may translate into higher produce prices
Grant Slater/KPCC
Juan, a migrant worker, poses for a portrait on a farm operated by Better Produce north of Santa Maria, Calif.
When the Affordable Care Act goes into effect, it could have a tremendous impact on California's $43.5 billion agricultural industry. Meeting the minimum requirements of the law will cost farmers about one dollar per hour per employee in the field.
Sarah Varney, a reporter for Kaiser Health News, recently wrote about how farmers are preparing to cope with the added cost for the New York Times.

|Homestand opens with 49ers victory Saturday
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Charlotte women's tennis team utilized the 70-degree temperatures Saturday and used them to their advantage, handing Western Carolina a 4-3 setback at the Halton-Wagner Tennis Complex in the first of three straight on its home courts.
The 49ers grabbed their fourth-in-a-row at home by winning the doubles point and then earning a split in singles action to pick up the narrow win against their in-state opponent.
Charlotte (5-9) used a tiebreaker to help clinch the early 1-0 lead following doubles action. Freshman Briana Bodner and junior Lisa Grosselius opened the trio of matches with an 8-4 triumph over the Catamounts' Erin Maguire and Sara Ruiz Pajares in the No. 3 slot.
The other two contests featured closer results, with the Niners' No. 2 tandem of sophomore Jessica Pérez and freshman Macy Vonderschmidt narrowly defeating Megan McLinden and Nicole Nielly 8-7 (6) to push the point in Charlotte's favor.
Western Carolina (1-11-1) was leading 7-6 in the No. 1 battle, which was declared unfinished after the Niners locked up the edge entering singles.
Charlotte then added singles wins, all in straight sets, to pull out the victory and snap a three-match losing skid.
Grosselius handed Shannon Bettiol a 6-2, 6-0 loss at the No. 2 position, while junior Natsuko Takayanagi posted a 6-1, 6-2 triumph over McLinden in the No. 3 spot.
Vonderschmidt closed the 49ers' scoring with her sixth consecutive win, recording a 6-2, 6-2 victory versus Ruiz Pajares at the No. 4 slot.
Charlotte will look to keep the momentum on its side when it plays host to Middle Tennessee at Noon Friday in the first home Conference USA match of the spring.

Economic Facts About U.S. Tobacco Production and Use
Every year, tobacco companies spend billions of dollars on advertising and promotion, and tobacco use costs the United States billions of dollars in medical expenses and lost productivity.1,2,3,4
Tobacco-Related Spending
Tobacco companies spend billions of dollars each year to market their products.
- In 2011, the tobacco industry spent $8.4 billion on cigarette advertising and promotional expenses in the United States alone, and 83.6% ($7.0 billion) of this expenditure was spent on price discounts.1
- Smokeless tobacco advertising and promotion rose to $451.7 million in 2011–up from $444.2 million in 2010.2
- Including both cigarette and smokeless tobacco marketing, tobacco companies spent $8.8 billion on marketing in 2011, or more than $24 million each day.1,2
- A number of electronic products, such as electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), cigars, and pipes, are being introduced in the marketplace. However, at the present time, comparable data on expenditures for the marketing and promotion of these products are not available.
NOTE: Advertising and promotional expenses include items such as magazine ads, distribution of cigarette samples or coupons for free samples, ads posted in retail stores, price discounts, payments to retailers for displaying brands, volume rebates for wholesalers, and direct-mail advertising.
Tobacco Production in the United States
Although U.S. tobacco production has decreased significantly since the 1950s, the United States continues to be a leading producer of tobacco leaves. In 2007, four countries (China, Brazil, India, and the United States) produced two-thirds of the world's tobacco.5 In 2007—
- In the United States, tobacco was grown in 16 states.6
- The largest tobacco-producing states were Kentucky and North Carolina, accounting for 71% of tobacco grown in the United States.6
- The number of tobacco-growing farms declined from more than 500,000 in the 1950s to about 10,000 in 2007.6

Economic Costs Associated With Smoking
- Annual smoking-attributable economic costs in the United States estimated for the years 2009–2012 were more than $289 billion, including:4
- At least $133 billion for direct medical care of adults and more than $156 billion in lost productivity
- $5.6 billion (2006 data) for lost productivity due to exposure to secondhand smoke
Effects of Increased Prices
Increases in cigarette prices lead to significant reductions in cigarette smoking.11 This is the single most effective way to reduce smoking.
- A 10% increase in price has been estimated to reduce overall cigarette consumption by 3–5%.
- Research on cigarette consumption suggests that both youth and young adults are two to three times more responsive to changes in price than adults.

Noyes Museum of Art is 2.6 miles from this Galloway, New Jersey hotel. Spacious villas provide full kitchens and the hotel features the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Salon and Spa.
Score from 5 reviews Wonderful
Place was very clean from the room, walkways and pool. Staff was pleasant. It was quiet
Room was modest in terms of any luxuries; bed too soft and pillows needed to be replaced. Room smelled musty.
Best thing about this place is how close it is to the beach.
Employees were not the friendliest people I ever meet. Also, pool hours are for children, 9 am - 7 pm.
We like everything about this motel. The staff is helpful and friendly. The facility itself is the cleanest we've ever seen in a motel. It's location is perfect! Having access to grills is also a great feature. It can get expensive eating out morning noon and night. So to have that and functional kitchen.... Wonderful!! We can't see staying in any other place as long as we vacation in LBI and will always tell everyone we know about how great the Sea Spray Motel is!!!!
We can honestly say that there isn't anything we didn't like about our stay in this motel.
Location close to very nice beach area. Rooms are well insulated vs noice. Pool is great for kids and PM hours. Staff (esp cleaning) is attentive and very good.
Too far away from downtown to walk.
Proximity to the beach. Close enough to shops and resturaunts. Pool and BBQ grills on location.
Weird musty smell in room.
Rooms were clean- liked the hard wood floor with beach and pool. Liked that we had microwave and refrig. Loved that the motel provided you with beach badges! Loved that parking was provided- we had 2 cars!
Wished pool opened earlier.No wifi!!! Towels too small
Place is very well maintained, really close to the beach, and at a less crowded location on the island.
There was a very strong musty smell in our room this year.
Close to the beach
Room to small bath even smaller towels much to thin
No changes or cancellations to you reservation. Price was very high for midweek stay!
The pool and closeness to the beach were both so great. We will visit again.
The perfect beach motel. Nothing super fancy, but very clean and close to beach. Nice pool, picnic area and grills (although we weren't there long enough to try them). Would definitely stay there again!
The facility itself was very nice. Location was perfect. Nice family get away.
The bed was extremely hard. I like firm but ....
A trip to heaven in Beach Haven
It ended too soon.
The motel was clean, convenient to the beach and very quiet...also affordable! I would definitely stay there again. The 2 15 year olds with me loved the option of hanging at the heated pool.
No motel wifi
Great beach if it's sunny great main st ,
To expensive for off season

Parade, Fireworks and Free Concert Among Scheduled Festivities!
The City of Santa Clarita, along with other community organizations, has a host of events planned to help residents celebrate the birth of the nation. The 2007, Fourth of July activities include: the Independence Day 5k run, the Annual 4th of July Parade, and a fireworks extravaganza at the Westfield Valencia Town Center, courtesy of the City of Santa Clarita.
The 4th of July activities kick off with the Santa Clarita Rotary Club serving hotcakes at 7:00 a.m., in the Roger Dunn golf parking lot on San Fernando Road, between 5th and 6th Streets at its annual Pancake Breakfast.
Activities continue with the Independence Day 5k Run put on by the Santa Clarita Runners along the City's parade route. Pre-registration entry fees are $25 now through June 30th. A $5 late registration fee will apply June 30th. Entry forms are available at local fitness centers, sporting goods stores, and Vincenzo's in Saugus or Agua Dulce, on the club website at www.scrunners.org.
The annual Santa Clarita 4th of July Parade will begin at 9:45 a.m. on San Fernando Road in Old Town Newhall. This year's theme is "20 Years of Cityhood," in honor of the City of Santa Clarita's 20th anniversary. Santa Clarita's First Mayor, Hon. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, will serve as the parades' grand marshal. The mile-long parade will travel down Lyons Avenue to Orchard Village, finishing at Newhall Park. For parade info, please visit www.scvparade.com. Look for the KHTS Fire Truck in this year's parade!
Also, The Greens at Valencia will feature an old fashioned 4th of July BBQ and a live band. Make sure to bring your blanket for later to enjoy prime viewing of the fireworks from the putting course. Please call 661-222-2900 for reservations.
The Fourth of July festivities will finish with a breathtaking fireworks display over the Westfield Valencia Town Center sponsored by the City of Santa Clarita. The fireworks show entitled "America Journey from American Dream", will begin approximately at 9:15 p.m. and last about thirty minutes. For more information regarding the fireworks show, go to www.santa-clarita.com.
To avoid road closures due to the fireworks, please enter the Westfield Valencia Town Center from Magic Mountain Parkway, Valencia Blvd., and Citrus Avenue entrances. McBean Parkway between Valencia Blvd. and Magic Mountain Parkway will be closed to traffic from 8:30 p.m. to 10:15 p.m.
While you're watching the magnificent fireworks show, listen on your portable radio or from your car radio to the fireworks soundtrack broadcasted live on KHTS AM 1220.
Fireworks will also appear at Magic Mountain, Stevenson Ranch, and Castaic Lake.
In an effort to assure this year's 4th of July celebration is fire-free, the City of Santa Clarita has teamed up with the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station to remind residents about the high fire danger and that even during 4th of July weekend, fireworks are illegal in the City of Santa Clarita and in Los Angeles County.
"Residents should know that fireworks are not only illegal in Santa Clarita, they are a fire hazard and one that we will not tolerate. Our message to residents is that we have a lot to celebrate and be grateful for on this wonderful day, let's do it in a safe and responsible manner," commented Mayor Marsha McLean.
For more information, please contact the City's Arts & Events Office at 661-286-4018 or visit www.santa-clarita.com.

Pro says golf course needs new carts
NAUGATUCK — Just days after Bob Clark Jr. became the resident pro at Hop Brook Golf Course in May, he got an alarming morning phone call.
The brake had slipped on an unoccupied golf cart parked near the fifth hole. The renegade cart had rolled across the fairway, missing golfers teeing off, and into a brook.

Can't Believe The Results!
Posted By:
TBevill (CALICO ROCK, AR) Jul 30, 2012
We have been using Fly Predators for almost two summers now. When we first decided to try them I was skeptical because I figured that they were too good to be true. We love them! There are NO flies at our barn, paddock, roundpen, or our field! It's amazing. We have chickens, so we have two buckets that are tied to the fence up high (so the chickens can't reach them) and we pour the fly predators in them. I also sprinkled some in the horse trailer and the flies disappeared, almost like magic. We will never stop using them! At our relative's barn, there are millions of flies, so we are trying to talk them into buying Fly Predators too!

good bye flies

This is my first year using Fly Predators. In April, my 3 horses' faces were covered with flies. A month after spreading Fly Predators, it was rare to see a fly, its now end of June and still no flies. This is so much easier than using fly spray, and gets to the root of the problem.

One word...

New Fenwick Depot (Holden, MO) May 16, 2008
These predators are so amazing and our alpacas think so too! We've been using the fly predators now for almost a year and what a difference just the first application made. Just within a few days the reduction of flies were unbelievable. This year, (2008), we begin again using them in March (it's now May), and have seen a good 90% reduction in flies than what we did a year ago at this time. Our beautiful alpacas are so much happier, less eye and nose irritation too. This is now a must on our farm and kept on the annual list of things to buy! K. Baake!

These Guys are AMAZING!

ladichy (WAXHAW, NC) Apr 4, 2006
There is no way I can say enough good things about these little guys. My parents are the ultimate pessimists. After using them for 3 years with 3 horses and multiple dogs, FlyPredators made a believer out of them and me! I can watch my horses graze in virtual peace with only the occasional twitch of the tail in the worst heat of the summer! They are awsome! I would highly recommend them to anyone with horses or dogs!

Baraka (COVE, AR) Mar 29, 2006
I started using this product years ago on my horse farm, and my property is virtually fly free! Friends started ordering it after seeing the difference in my farm and theirs. Just scatter them and forget it. The only way you will know they are there is the lack of flies. Every year gets better. I wouldn't be without "mothers little helpers," the fly predators.

These little guys REALLY work
Posted By:
Larry G (Oak Point, TX) Dec 16, 2005
I have used Fly Predators for four years. I have 3 horses and 6 dogs and very few flies. I sometimes forget how good these little Fly Predators work until I visit my friends and see a lot of flies at their barns. I tell everyone about these and my friends thank me later. It is easy to use them because they come in the mail each month in the summer and you open the package and spread the tiny Fly Predators on horse manure in the pasture. I think it is a lot safer to control flies using this method.

I was totally amazed at the result last year when I used fly predators. A horse farm w/o flies. What a novel idea! So easy to do! I would recommend this product to any one with outdoor animals.

A Country Life w/out Flies is Possible!
Posted By:
Creekside (AMES, IA) Mar 29, 2005
This works! It's non-chemical and safe for the environment and for animals and humans who spend a lot of time in the stable. I live in a horse subdivision and used fly predators last year. I've never seen such thorough fly protection. Flies will apparently travel up to a 1/4 of a mile so reserve some to walk the pasture and drop some on manure there as well. Only flies I had were from the dog droppings by the house and NONE at the stable. I started dropping some around the kennel and they disappeared also! Now if I could get everyone out at the subdivision to use them our whole division would be fly free & chemical free. I didn't apply fly spray all summer long to my horse it was so thorough.

With spring and summer finally here, it's time to begin those annual home projects. Typically, when I make my list of home projects, it grows quickly. But remodeling doesn't need to cost a lot of time or money. In fact, a few accessory changes or a new coat of paint can go a long way.
I've pulled together these six designer tips for a quick and easy bathroom remodel that really goes the distance:
See Robern's Uplift mirror.
1. Add mirrors. Especially for a smaller space, a decorative mirror can make a room appear larger and reflect more natural light. Consider a big, dramatic piece and enjoy the feel of a larger bath.
Explore the San Francisco Green Home and Bay Area Designer Home.
2. Mix it up with paint. A new color will give your bath a fresh new feel. Consider the watery tones of blue and green to bring a quiet spa-like feel or combine muted greys and brown tones to create a more natural palette.
Browse bathroom lighting.
3. Swap out your old light fixtures. Pendant lights give the bathroom a new, elegant feel. Up lighting draws the eyes upward and creates the sense of an open atmosphere. Under counter lights bring definition to a vanity. And finally, consider adding a dimmer to set the mood and even save electricity.
Browse bathroom accessories.
4. Get organized. Start by removing all the clutter, and replace it with a few artful objects. Invest in accessory trays and cups if your toiletries are adding to the countertop chaos. A few creative ideas can go a long way―consider baskets for towels or even an old vintage pail to hold extra toilet paper.
Explore patterns and mosaics from Ann Sacks tile.
5. Add bold accents. Purchase a new shower curtain and fresh towels to brighten the space. Don't be afraid to opt for bold prints and patterns, the bathroom is a place to really let your style show.
See cabinet hardware and the Alteo toilet paper holder.
6. Update your hardware. Sometimes, a simple swapping of cabinet knobs or drawer pulls in a new finish gives the bathroom a fresh look and feel. And let's not forget functionality; accessories like grab bars and pivoting toilet paper holders add features to the bathroom that make things just a little easier.
These easy tips are a great way to get your bathroom back up to speed. So before you throw in the towel, save it and change the color–it'll go a long way!

Reviews for Mini Ham 'n' Cheese Frittatas
Sort By :
"These were really good, I had no problems with water from the ham and did not reduce the salt. I guess it depends what kind of ham you have."
"Really tasty. I did mine in ramekins so I can just pop them in the microwave each morning. One question...mine ended up with lots of water from the ham in the bottom. Did anybody else have this problem or an idea of how to prevent that in the future?"
"This was very good and a nice presentation when done in cute ramekins. However, I would caution about adding salt. The ham and cheese add plenty. Mine turned out too salty, but I will definitely make these again without the salt."
"This is a great recipe to make ahead and take to work the next morning for breakfast. I am a vegetarian, so I substituted the ham with veggie sausage. Thank you, Susan."
"My boyfriend rated this one because I didn't like it at all. I do not like my eggs that brown and the texture was way off for me. He didn't seem to mind, but wants me to add bacon if I make them again. (probably won't)"

"Adjusted for inflation, gold should be selling for over $2,300 an ounce," Celente points out. He predicts the government will take draconian measures in the future to curtail gold sales. Celente expects intervention, in the form of restrictions or a peg, before gold reaches $5,000 an ounce.
Celente believes there's going to be a bank holiday, triggered by something that causes a national emergency. "We're in the 1930s again and that's the way we're looking at it," he says. Unless the people stand up, Celente forecasts the US will enter the Greatest Depression followed by the Great War.
"We want to stop this war before it happens. We want people to be aware. If the people wise up and stand up and learn enough, it doesn't have to happen. The future is in your hands."

News, Notes and Historical Information on the St. Louis Cardinals
[powered by WordPress.]
Well, Chris Carpenter got it done. He threw a three hit shutout against the best team in baseball to help the Cardinals move on to the NLCS. This was one of those games that, if it weren't in such an early round, would be an instant classic. Still, for Cardinals fans it is.
Carpenter gave up the three hits and he struck out three in the shutout. He needed just 110 pitches and it was one of the most important starts of his career.
The lone run came in the first. Rafael Furcal led off the game with a triple and then Skip Schumaker doubled him home. One run, but that was enough.
Next up are the Brewers. Game one is in two days. What an awesome series considering that September run so hopefully the Cards will be able to keep it going.
