About me and my passion for cars
I'm a GM fan particularly Pontiacs '67-'81 birds. I currently drive a '09 G8 GT, a '08 Solstice GXP and a 2003 Chevy Silverado LS.
My dad was a Ford man and did all of his own auto work. So I learned how to work with tools from him.
I landed a part time job after school at a Good Year Tire & Rubber corp.store in Montgomery and gained some valuable experiences. Mounted many a custom wide treads in my day, a few brake jobs, shocks, lots of oil changes. My favoite task though was spinning 'em up on the spin balancer...those things were awesome! hated the new fangled "computer balancer".
I do some mechanicing now and then, nothing major. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself as the saying goes.

UFC.TV FAQs
Are Pay-Per-View events included in UFC Fight Pass?
Pay-per-view events are sold on a standalone basis until they are made available a few months after the initial airing and become available within UFC Fight Pass. See the most recent pay-per-view event replays at Event Replays. See past event replays available inside of UFC FIGHT PASS
How do I unlock my account?
To unlock your account, click the "Forgot Password" button when prompted and enter your e-mail address. You'll receive an e-mail with a link to reset your password.
How long do I have to watch the video I have purchased?
Once the content is available, customers will have unlimited viewing of said video for 24 hours from purchase. After the 24 hours complete, customers will need to re-purchase the video to continue viewing. This applies to all customers regardless if the video or event is purchased as a live event or if they have purchased the replay version.
Why am I getting the message "Your account is current in use on another device" when I try to watch the PPV?
UFC.tv only allows one device to stream the pay-per-view at a time. Please make sure you are not logged in to any other UFC.tv applications.
My internet connection is much faster than the recommended minimum speeds. Why is my video still choppy or low quality?
UFC Fight Pass features adaptive playback which dynamically adjusts the quality of the video stream you receive based on the speed of your connection. If your connection speed fluctuates (many factors can contribute to this such as network congestion during peak times and other devise sharing your connections). UFC Fight Pass detects this and lowers the quality of the video stream to ensure you can continue viewing the content without interruption. You can override this feature and choose which bit rate UFC Fight Pass delivers despite fluctuations with your connection through the following steps:
• Launch UFC Fight Pass • Hover over the "Quality" setting indicator and uncheck "Best Available" • Manually select a bit rate appropriate for your connections UFC Fight Pass will now stream at the bit rate you chose. If your connection can't handle the bit rate you selected, you may experience choppiness in the video playback.
If your video playback is choppy with "Best Available" checked in the video quality settings, this may be an issue with your computer's performance. Please try the following:
• Make sure your computer is up to date with the latest patches and your video card's drivers are current • Disable hardware acceleration as it can cause choppy video playback • Increase virtual memory as it can improve video playback • Check your anti-virus or firewall settings to make sure they allow traffic from UFC Fight Pass.
If you're unsure of how to do any of these things, please consult a qualified technician.
Will the viewing quality decrease if I am using other applications?
Applications which consume high bandwidth, such as file sharing applications (e.g. emule, bitorrent), may compete with UFC.tv on the same bandwidth, and thus reduce video quality. It is recommended to close these applications while watching UFC.tv or limit their bandwidth usage. Downloading large files or using real-time application, such as VoIP, may reduce video quality as well. Any other computers on your internet connection (including homes, hotels, or public spaces) can affect bandwidth availability as well.
Why can't I see the live Pay-Per-View or the Live Preliminary Bouts?
Due to broadcast restrictions in some regions we are occasionally unable to offer this content in your area. Please check your local listings or Upcoming Events for viewing information.

©2003 Jim Butcher; (P)2009 Penguin Audiobooks
"Pick up the coin?"
My only complaint about the Dresden series is the waiting for the next audio book to come out. Hells bells, I'd pick up the coin and become a "Nickle Head" if it would produce the next 2 books faster.
Oh, and FYI, the TV series does NOT do the books justice in the least. The TV Series did what "Highlander 2" did to the first movie. Judge not the Dresden series off of that!
"The Series Really Gets Into Gear"
Jim Butcher himself admits that the Dresden Files series, the first volume of which was a writing exercise in the creative writing class he was in, really starts coming into it's own in the third volume, Grave Peril. I agree with him, the first two books where really raw. They are worth reading, don't misunderstand, but they are nowhere near as good as the books which came later.
In Death Masks, I personally feel that Jim Butcher really gets things into full gear. His writing gets into full gear and he tones down on the overdriven amounts of battery and damage his hero must somehow survive to levels that someone might actually survive. That sort of thing. The plot is great and you can really see him bringing the series into maturity. It's great fun and tons of action, I strongly recommend both this book and the series!
"Each book is better than the last!"
In Death Masks, Jim Butcher seems to have hit his stride as an author. After the first two books I wasn't sure, but I'm glad I came back. The Archive and Kincaid were interesting characters that I'd like to see more of in the future.
I rather miss James Marsters' deep manly breaths that were so frequent in the early books, but his narration in this book was top notch, especially his rendition of Father Vincent, the Italian priest. It's a good melding of author and narrator, in my opinion.
I hope book 6 is available soon!
"Another excellent episode!!"
What a great series, and with James Marsters' narration, you can't go wrong.
This book was right up there with one of the best. A great cast of characters, hearing more from Susan, and that Thomas is a hoot. It had some surprise allies,( if only for awhile), adding to the book's charm.
Harry didn't have a chance to get bored, as bad guys kept popping up everywhere, in his quest to find the stolen shroud.
If you follow the series, don't miss this one.
Fantasy and Romance Author
"A must-hear for Dresden Files fans!"
This is another fun installment in the Harry Dresden series, fast-paced with tremendous jeopardies, bittersweet romance, and Butcher's trademark humor.
The audiobook is wonderfully narrated by James Marsters, who not only gives Harry the perfect, slightly world-weary film noir detective voice, but also skillfully does a variety of accents for other characters, including Japanese, British, South American Spanish, and Russian (I loved the voice he did for Sonya, the Russian atheist Knight of the Cross.)
I'm looking forward to listening to the next books in this series--the audiobooks really make the Dresden Files come alive!
"Note - They fixed the ending!"
The last chapter has been added now, so purchase at will! It's a great book, and the reading is on par with everything else read by James Marsters. Enjoy!
Great book, per usual. Looking forward to 6 & 7.
As in title, final chapter is now included.
"Oh, Harry, how we love you."
*Book source ~ Purchased at Audible.
Harry Dresden, wizard and PI, is hired by Father Vincent to find the Shroud of Turin. Unfortunately, that's not the only thing on Harry's plate. The Red Court has sent Ortega to Chicago to kill Harry, either outright or in a duel. It's Harry's choice, but if he doesn't agree to the duel then Ortega sees nothing wrong with killing anyone Harry cares about. Of course Harry agrees to the duel. All three of The Knights of the Cross are in town looking for the Shroud and trying to keep Harry away from it because they believe he will be killed, his girlfriend Susan is back, but not for the reason she tells Harry and the Denarians are also sniffing around Chicago. Poor Harry. When it rains, it pours.
Guest reviewers:
A ~ my 16-yr-old daughter
T ~ my 14-yr-old son
K ~ my 13-yr-old son
Ok, there is a lot going on in this book, but everyone is still loving the series. Big surprise there. Not. :D The humor continues to entertain and is a big part of why this series is a favorite. The plot had several things going and we worried Harry would drop one or more of the balls he was juggling. With help he manages to not only stay alive, but return the Shroud to the Church. How could we have doubted him?? Everyone agreed that it was nice of Harry to give Marcone the ultimatum at the end and they didn't doubt that Marcone would comply.
New faces won approval: Kincaid, The Archive, Butters, Sanya, Shiro, Molly and even Ms. Gard. Old faces have returned: Bob, Susan, Murphy, Thomas, Michael, Marcone, Ebenezer (phone appearance) and Mac from McAnally's. Oh, and Anna's favorite…Mister. Can't forget him. Some new faces were not liked such as Ortega (though we saw him very briefly in Grave Peril), all of the Denarians, but Nicodemus in particular and we're on the fence about Martin.
Everyone thought the duel was pretty cool and that Ortega was a liar liar pants on fire. They loved meeting the other two Knights and Ebenezer impressed the crap out of them with this little thing he did at the end. I won't say what because that would spoil it, but it's frickin awesome. The fight for the Shroud at the end was pretty good and what's a helicopter swooping in to fight without Ride of the Valkyries playing? Which is actually a pretty funny inside joke that will come up in a later book. K & I laughed since we've read the books.
Favorite quote:
"…The next time I opened my eyes, I was in the morgue. This, all by itself, is enough to really ruin your day. I was lying on the examination table, and Butters, complete with his surgical gown and his tray of autopsy instruments, stood over me.
'I'm not dead!' I sputtered. 'I'm not dead!'"
I am an entertainer...so I spend a lot of time on the road. I take my audio seriously. I appreciate great writing and outstanding narration.
"Great Novel"
If you like your paranormal detectives with a noir-kinda-wizardy flavor...this is it.
You'll love the Dresden Files.
"Harry Dresden never fails to entertain"
Now that I've heard the complete audiobook, including the final chapter, I enjoyed this Harry Dresden adventure just as much as the first four books. I'm looking forward to Book 6 (Blood Rites) and Book 7 (Dead Beat) now, which we might have to wait for until July 2010. Hope I'm wrong about that.
"Quite Poor compared to other books"
Having listened to 6 Dresden File Audio books i found this one to be quite week, the story does not have the level of detail that 1-4 had and i found the pace quite jumpy thankfully book 6 is better so am thinking this is just a rare bad day at the office for Jim Butcher.
"Superb Harry Dresden book"
I suspect that Harry Dresden books are like Marmite - you either love them or hate them. I love them and have spent years complaining that whilst Audible USA had these books, we in the UK did not. At last they are here.
Harry Dresden is a modern-day wizard in Chicago, grappling with the proclivity of 21st century equipment (computers et al) to go into melt down when he is near. He has all the modern problems of paying his rent and taxes, but with the added layer of having to deal with the politics of the White Council of wizards ( he is too anarchic to ever fit in there), fight the vampire courts and deal with the odd demon. If you like this type of fantasy book, you will love the Dresden series.
In this book, Harry duels with a vampire committed to killing him ( even if it means cheating); searching for the stolen Shroud of Turin (before it falls into the wrong hands); being a target for his own side ( if his death prevents a war with the vampires, goodbye Harry); and many more complex threads. All dealt with by a Harry who gets very battered at times, but never loses his wry ( though at times, tired) wit.
There are many other characters in this book - Susan ( Harry's former love); Bob ( the spirit of a very experienced wizard, trapped by curse to inhabit a skull for eternity) who assists Harry with his knowledge; Murphy ( a Police Officer who does not want to believe in magic and ghosts and other horrors, but having known Harry for some time, knows what she has seen); and so on.
I really cannot recommend this book, and all of the others in the Harry Dresden series, too highly if you like this genre.
"Oh, and hit men, just a few of them too."
I am a big fan of the Dresden Files and have read them all over the years. A few years ago I bought Storm Front in audio format and I was not disappointed, James Marsters is a great narrator. As soon as I got my Audible membership I bought Fool Moon and Grave Peril soon after. It's been a few years and I intermittently check if the rest of the series has become available on audio. Lo and Behold! A few weeks ago I found that they were now all available! I used up the credits I'd stashed for a rainy day and got Summer Knight and Death Masks for listening.
Private detective/wizard-for-hire Harry Dresden is neck deep in the action again, his ex girlfriend has returned, a red court vampire challenges for a duel and the Chicago PD need help in a case involving a headless and handless corpse... Oh, and hit men, just a few of them too.
The greatest thing about audio books is being able to multi task... playing with toddler, washing up, housework [Yuk] and knitting are all things I can do while listening to these great books.
I can't wait for my next credits to arrive and I can get some more Dresden audiobooks!

Search the European Fisheries Fund database
About the data
This database of European Fisheries Fund (EFF) payments is compiled from data published by EU member states up to August 2011. There are a total of 47,712 payments worth €1.17 billion. The data released by many member states is, quite frankly, a bit of a mess. Some member states have released no data at all. We have done our very best to compile it into this searchable database. The data will soon be available for download.
Read the report describing how the data was compiled: Eyes Wide Shut
How to search
Search by name of recipient (e.g. PESQUERÍAS LEÓN MARCO), or any other term such as name of the EFF measure (e.g. modernisation).
To see all recipients from one country, e.g. Spain, search for country:ES, using the standard ISO country codes in UPPER CASE. Note that the United Kingdom is GB and Greece is GR - though you'll not get any results from Greece as its government has not published any data!
To find only records that are an exact match for your search terms, enclose them in inverted commas, i.e. "search terms".
You can use standard Boolean operators AND, OR and NOT. The AND operator retrieves all records which contain both of the terms it separates. The OR operator retrieves all records which contain either or both of the terms it separates. The NOT operator retrieves all records that contain the first term entered but not the second term. These operators must be used in UPPER CASE.
You can use the minus symbol - to exclude a term from the search. You can also use * as a wildcard.

Comment: Re:Say what you will but this is cool (Score 1) 52
Amazon recently announced it was getting into the advertisement business, and it beat out Google to acquire Twitch.
Pure speculation on my part, but I have to wonder if this is just Google's CEO trying to steal some of the spotlight away from Amazon?
Suddenly, Google is saying, "Oh yeah... delivery drones. We've been doing this for some time now." It smells like petty CEO bickering. (As cool as delivery drones are.)

Notre Dame AD says Te'o got call from 'dead girlfriend' last month
BY MARK LAZERUS firstname.lastname@example.com January 16, 2013 8:40PM
FILE - In this Nov. 17, 2012, file photo, Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o walks off the field following an NCAA college football game against Wake Forest in South Bend, Ind. A story that Te'o's girlfriend had died of leukemia _ a loss he said inspired him to help lead the Irish to the BCS championship game _ was dismissed by the university Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013, as a hoax perpetrated against the linebacker. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy, File)
Do you believe Manti Te'o was in on this hoax?
- Twitter reaction to alleged Te'o girlfriend hoax
- The Story: Deadspin's Manti Te'o bombshell
- VIDEO: ESPN's October 2012 piece on Te'o
Article Extras
Updated: February 19, 2013 2:25PM
In the midst of all the praise, the tributes and the accolades being showered on Manti Te'o during awards week last month — so much of it revolving around the inspirational strength and courage he showed in the face of the death of his girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, of leukemia earlier in the season — the Notre Dame linebacker's phone rang.
It was Lennay's number. It was Lennay's voice.
"[She] told him that she was not, in fact, dead," Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said. "Manti was very unnerved by that, as you might imagine."
Turns out, Lennay Kekua never existed.
An evening quite unlike any other began Wednesday with a staggering report on Deadspin delving deep into the hoax that was Lennay Kekua, and ended with Swarbrick referencing the MTV show "Catfish," which exposes fraudulent online relationships like the one Te'o said he discovered he was in last month.
"To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating," Te'o said in a release.
Swarbrick insisted that "Manti was the victim here." The Deadspin story never outright accused Te'o of being in on the hoax, but cited a source that said he was "80 percent sure that Te'o was 'in on it,' and that [he and a family friend] perpetrated Lennay Kekua's death with publicity in mind."
The lengthy story is a fascinating-yet-convoluted tale of falsified Twitter accounts, deleted tweets, misappropriated profile pictures, made-up people and mythmaking. It refutes nearly every detail of the story so many college football fans know by now. The meet-cute in Stanford in 2009? Never happened. The trips to Hawaii? Lennay never showed up. In fact, Swarbrick said, the two had never met, their entire relationship taking place online and over the phone.
The bombshell turns much of the narrative of Notre Dame's memorable 2012 season and the story that made Te'o a household name into a bizarre fiction. Word of Kekua's death — mere hours after Te'o's grandmother had died — surfaced in the week leading up to the Michigan State game on Sept. 15. Te'o finished the game with 12 tackles and a recovered fumble. The next week, he had two interceptions against Michigan. The legend grew.
Notre Dame hired a private firm to investigate after Te'o shared the details on Dec. 26. Swarbrick said the report came out Jan. 4, he shared it with Te'o's parents in South Florida on Jan. 5, and the family had planned to release the story next week. He said there was no evidence of criminal conduct or NCAA violations.
Swarbrick called Te'o "the perfect mark" for such a scam, because of his trusting nature and eagerness to help others. He said the victims of "catfishing" get lured in by tales of personal hardships — in Kekua's case, a car accident, a leukemia diagnosis, her failing health, then her death. He said Te'o would tell his side of the story soon.
"The pain was real, the grief was real, the affection was real, and that's the nature of this cruel, sad game," Swarbrick said. "The thing I am most sad about is, that the single-most trusting human being I've ever met will never be able to trust in the same way again. That's an incredible tragedy."

Boaters Learn About Invasive Species
Posted: 05/29/2013
By Joe Wilkinson
Boaters around Iowa know a little more about unwelcome visitors in lakes and streams, after a rain-shortened Memorial Day weekend.
At selected boat ramps across the state, 19 DNR fisheries workers fanned out to inspect boats, trailers and to talk with boaters about invasive species that can cause serious problems in those bodies of water.
"I'm looking for any aquatic plant on the boat or trailer; maybe the wheel wells, on the motor here, even inside the boat; anywhere on the boat, that they might be," explained Nick Rhinehart, as he inspected a fishing boat coming out of Lake Macbride; one of dozens he checked through the holiday weekend.
Rhinehart was part of the DNR's ' Clean, Drain and Dry' push; to educate boaters and check for aquatic invasive species; which inhabit some lakes, rivers and ponds…and could spread to others, unless properly cleaned and disposed of by boaters. In addition to the voluntary inspection, boaters were asked several questions about the invasives, and where they boat through the season.
The push is a reminder, leading up to July 1, when it becomes illegal to transport any aquatic plants on water related equipment. Boaters must drain all water before leaving a water body and must keep drain plugs open during transport. It is illegal already, to introduce any live fish, except for hooked bait, into public waters.
At Macbride, for instance, single strands of curlyleaf pondweed are now reaching seven or eight feet from the bottom of bays in the 900 acre lake to the surface. By midsummer, those infestations will be mats of thick vegetation, without treatment. Also late this summer, pockets of brittle naiad will develop and spread.
Bass fisherman Dale Richey of Swishier understands the need for inspections, but admits being somewhat ambivalent.
"A good weed line is a nice place to fish. It provides shelter for the fish. I don't know about which species is beneficial to the lake or not, but they do inspect the heck out of em up in Minnesota, when I go up there."
For many introduced species in a body of water, it comes down to too much of a good thing.
"Those invasive species take over. They provide too much cover," explains Kim Bogenschutz, DNR aquatic invasive species program coordinator. "Depending on the depth and sunlight reaching them, they become too dense. Bluegill, for instance, have so much escape cover that bass (their natural predator) can't find them. That results in stunted growth among the larger numbers of bluegills, competing for the same food source."
Bogenschutz notes, too, that too much vegetation can lead to fluctuations of dissolved oxygen levels, in a body of water.
Boaters can assist in the push to knock back or prevent introduction of invasive species by inspecting their craft's propeller, underside, live wells and trailer, before they 'put in' for the day…or as they pull the boat out. By cleaning plant matter, aquatic animals and mud…draining water from the boat…and drying it for several days; the chance of it infesting the next lake or stream you enter will be minimized.

Match Against Poverty
The Match against poverty is organized every year since 2003, at the initiative of football legends and UNDP Goodwill Ambassadors Zinédine Zidane and Ronaldo, to raise awareness and mobilize public opinion for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Previous matches
- 2014: Bern, Switzerland - The XI Match Against Poverty raised $ 190,000 for recovery efforts in the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan.
- 2012: Porto Alegre, Brazil - The 10th Match Against Poverty raises US $360,000 to support UNDP projects in Brazil and Cape Verde
- 2011: Hamburg, Germany - The 9th Match against Poverty raised more than US$100,000 for humanitarian and relief operations in the Horn of Africa.
- 2010: Athens, Greece - Match against Poverty raises $ 540,000 for recovery efforts in Haiti and Pakistan
- 2010: Lisbon, Portugal - Match Against Poverty raises $ 760 000 for Haiti
- 2008: Fes, Morocco - $ 180,000 collected to finance projects in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America
- 2008: Malaga, Spain - Fifth Match against Poverty brings together 30 000 fans
- 2007: Marseille, France - Zidane and friends prevail in 2007 Match Against Poverty
- 2005: Dusseldorf, Germany - $ 450,000 are raised for projects in Ethiopia, Maldives, Burkina Faso, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Cuba
- 2004: Madrid, Spain - $ 200,000 for projects in Haiti
- 2003: Basel, Switzerland - The first match against poverty raised approx. $ 1 million
Adopted in 2000 and re–affirmed by the leaders of 191 countries at the UN Summit in 2005, the Goals seek to halve world poverty by 2015 by setting targets for rolling back hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women.
"The fight against poverty is not a game," says Ronaldo. "We use this match as a way to raise funds and to make people aware of the fact that the solution to this problem is in our hands. It is by working together that we will all win the Match against Poverty.
Ronaldo and Zidane are respectively at the helm of two international teams competing during a friendly match. The objective is to raise funds to support specific development projects selected by UNDP.
The annual match - which is televised globally - is supported by both football's governing body, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).
The 10th Match in Porto Alegre followed nine successful editions that took place in Basel, Madrid, Dusseldorf, Marseille, Málaga, Fez, Lisboa, Athens and Hamburg. Each year funds raised support specific projects in different countries facing difficult challenges.
Proceeds from the 10th Match in Brazil were to be split between two projects – one in Brazil and one in Cape Verde, West Africa, both aimed at re-integrating marginalized youth. In Brazil, proceeds will fund the "Rede Esporte para Mudança Social (REMS)" a project that promotes poverty reduction and social inclusion through sports.
The 11th Match Against Poverty will take place on 4 March 2014 at the Stade De Suisse National Stadium in Bern, Switzerland. Proceeds raised will help recovery efforts in the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most devastating storms in history.
Ronaldo and Zinédine Zidane will mobilize their team of internationally renowned football players for a friendly match against the Bern professional football club, the BSC Young Boys and Friends.

Finding Apartments for Rent in Rochester, NY
Rochester is a big little city with a lot to offer. Finding an apartment to fit your needs as a renter in Rochester is more about deciding where you want to live rather than competing against others. Are you more comfortable living amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown or do you want somewhere a little bit quieter? Do you want to be part of an up and coming neighborhood in the city or would living a little ways out toward the suburbs be a better fit for your personal and professional life? There are lots of options available both in Rochester and the immediate metro area.
Top Neighborhoods in Rochester, NY
There are many great neighborhoods both in and around the city of Rochester. The Park Avenue area is popular with the younger crowd, college students and professionals just beginning their career. Near downtown, Park Avenue features lively cafes, trendy boutiques and galleries, and beautiful city streets to stroll. The revitalization of the downtown area and surrounding city streets has led to the construction of lofts in old industrial and commercial spaces in the Village Gate area and on and around St. Paul Street. If you're looking for something in a quickly growing area, the South Wedge has a lot to offer. Improving neighborhoods, remodeled homes and apartments, along with dining and shopping, both new and established, create an energetic vibe as the area continues upward.
Cultural Attractions in Rochester, NY
Rochester is a city with a rich history that includes playing a large role in the rapid industrial growth of the American economy. The George Eastman House, International Museum of Photography and Film, memorializes a portion of this history in the home of the man that founded Kodak. Embracing a mission to collect and protect the world's heritage in film, the museum houses several collections while creating temporary exhibitions. The Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Rochester brings together a collection of art gathered from throughout human history. The addition of Centennial Sculpture Park to the museum creates a 14 acre space for the enjoyment and appreciation of any art enthusiast. Younger individuals will most likely enjoy the Strong National Museum of Play. Conveniently situated in the city's Inner Loop, the museum reminds us that play is a necessary part of our lives through interactive exhibits.
For those who enjoy the great outdoors Rochester is an amazing four season city as well. Sitting on the shore of Lake Ontario, the surrounding area has many great places to hike, swim, boat or camp. Letchworth State Park is a natural wonder, considered the Grand Canyon of the East and only an hour away. The Finger Lakes are immediately south of the city, renowned for their beauty and over the last few decades have grown into one of the premier wine countries in America. If you love the winter then Rochester is a great place to live and rent. Ice skating, sledding and downhill skiing at nearby Bristol Mountain will be sure to keep you active through the cold months.

The Strathallan Hotel plays host to Char, a steakhouse and lounge currently enjoying rave reviews. The growing South Wedge also has a number of new establishments moving in.

Weather in Rochester, NY
Central New York is a four season region that experiences everything Mother Nature can bring each year. The weather is variable and regular rainfall keeps the state green while creating endless lakes, rivers and streams that play host to the diverse wild life that also make New York their home. Spring and fall are picturesque. Cooler days and calmer nights make the region a wonderful place to live. Budding trees and apple blossoms in springtime give way to the heat of summer before the natural beauty of the fall foliage in all its colors eases everyone into winter. Staying prepared for snow, ice and all the winter hazards is part of life in Rochester as well, but there is still a lot to do outside during the coldest months and before you know it spring is knocking on the door again.

DES MOINES - The public will have a chance to shape the future of Iowa's conservation and outdoor recreation at any of the Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) assemblies this fall.
REAP is a program that provides grants for and encourages enhancing and protecting Iowa's natural and cultural resources. The assemblies will show local impacts of REAP.
The assemblies will also allow attendees to voice ideas for changes and modifications to REAP and its programs.
The assemblies will also allow participants to elect five members for REAP Congress. REAP Congress will meet Jan. 4 at the state capitol to talk about a variety of conservation topics such as soil conservation, water quality and outdoor recreation.
Next year is the 25th anniversary of REAP, so the meetings will reflect on REAP's accomplishments. They will also look to the future.
"REAP is as relevant today as it was 24 years ago, and the needs are still as great," said Krausman. Assemblies are open to the public and will have open houses from 6 to 6:30 p.m. The assembly will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
REAP received $16 million for fiscal year 2014 (July 1, 2013 to June 2014). In addition to projects that enhance and protect resources, funding also goes to enhance soil and water quality, historic preservation, roadside vegetation and several other programs that are beneficial to Iowa. REAP has funded projects in every county in Iowa.
County REAP committee chair person contacts can be found on the DNR's website at www.iowadnr.gov/Portals/idnr/uploads/REAP/2012%20REAP%20County%20Chairs.pdf

Soft and great for use in our hallway. Was worried since it's an outdoor rug, but it's working out great and looks really nice.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug was the color I expected (in my case, dark green) and thicker and softer than expected. It looks great against the muted green tile in the bath. I appears to be very well made: I think it would hold up even under heavy traffic.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Beautiful rug. Gorgeous blue with specks of rust and tan to hide dust and lint.Very soft, yet totally durable. I'm using it as an entry rug; kitchen door to yard. I'm expecting it to be fade resistant as it gets afternoon sun.
I was nervous that the rug might be too busy, but that was not the case. This rug is so beautiful in person!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This is a comfortable rug that blends well with our decor and stands up well against a dog and teenage boys.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug is just what we needed for the space in our dining area. It comes in a variety of sizes and colors that almost seem custom-made. The material is very soft and seems durable - we've only had it a few weeks, so I can't be sure in the long run. It replaced a sisal rug which was the opposite - rough and prone to warping when spilled on. The weave is fabulous and the highlights eyecatching. All in all well worth getting.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Have just received the rug, so I will not be able to judge how it holds up to wear and tear and sun yet. I do want to comment on color - it really is not what I expected. I ordered the cafe tostada color, and the colors on the website appeared in the brownish hues. Instead it seems more on the grey side with more interwoven color (blue and red) than I expected. I am very happy with the texture - it feels great on barefeet; the surface is soft and the texture very good. That was most important to me! I also like the way the woven pattern looks, especially when viewed from a distance-it gives a classic yet warm/inviting feel.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I was delighted to find style, color and size of rug that meets all my criteria. The 8' octagonal size makes a wonderful background for my round oak kitchen table with 6 oak chairs. The braided design is dressed up with lovely surged binding. What a great look!

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
With the federal government back in business, a couple of House committee hearings are on our radar screen for the week ahead. Financial Services examines challenges to capital formation while Energy & Commerce review the evolution of wired communications networks. Currently there aren't any hearings scheduled on the Senate side--but the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship has an archived webcast of a hearing last week featuring small business owners on the impact of the government shutdown.
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week.
While the number of programs aimed at encouraging more entrepreneurship has increased rapidly, research has not kept pace. A new effort announced last Friday by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry aims to help fill that void. The Global Entrepreneurship Research Network was founded by the Kauffman Foundation, World Bank and Endeavor Insight to standardize data and work to gain a better understanding of policy barriers and what the right policies are for fostering entrepreneurship.
Last week, we mentioned some of the negative impacts of the government shutdown on small business owners and entrepreneurs. The most recent Small Business Optimism Index from the National Federation of Independent Businesses says that while the September figures might be too early to really measure the full impact of the shutdown, the economic outlook is definitely depressed.
Why schedule hearings when the federal government is shutdown and facing default? No Congressional committees have scheduled relevant hearings for the week ahead. Meanwhile, all eyes are on the October 17 default deadline which would be more than a blip on the global economic radar.
Last week, we talked about Babson College's 17 year string of domination over the U.S. News & World Report's rankings for entrepreneurship education in U.S. colleges and universities. Not so fast, says Howard Marks, the founder of a Los Angeles based startup accelerator (StartEngine) who first made a name for himself as the founder of Activision—the world's first independent video game publisher (remember Chopper Command and Pitfall from the early '80s?).
Startups and entrepreneurs at every stage have a new resource to help them launch and grow. The new Kauffman Founders School—curated from years of the Kauffman Foundation's experience in developing and supporting entrepreneurship programs—is an online education portal that provides on-demand content that enables entrepreneurs to learn anywhere at anytime.
Look around and you will find a number of articles on the effects of the political stalemate / government shutdown on entrepreneurs. For "small businesses", the effects are quite clear, mostly relating to government contracts (more than half the federal spending would go through federal contracts before the shutdown) and Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. In addition, with 62% of the SBA's staff furloughed, all counseling is on hold until the government is back up and running. The suspension of these contracts, loans and services represents an immediate "brake" on the economy.
One week after the government shutdown began, the finger-pointing continues while a new deadline looms even larger—10 more days until a potential U.S. government default. While many are still calling it "extremely unlikely" there seems to be consensus in that it would be "a catastrophe." Meanwhile, many of the Congressional hearings were cancelled or postponed last week and the handful scheduled for this week look to be more focused on the blame game than anything else. Like last week, the following hearings may be postponed—so be sure to check the committee websites for last-minute updates.
