From Hungary, Budapest.
What do you like about it?
It is a beautiful country!

What are your vital statistics?
Waist: 58
Hips: 99
Chest: 98
Do you consider yourself bi sexual off camera?
Yes, sure.
Does sex get better the older you get?
Yes, because I have a lot of experience now.
What sexual fantasy do you have yet to experience? What turns you on? What is the best way to excite you sexually?
Everything when I feel the man is dominating me and controlling my sexuality.
What's better – getting your pussy fucked or your ass fucked?
Both are great!
What is the biggest turn off for you in a sexual partner?
When I feel the guy is submissive.
If you could have sex with anyone famous, who would it be? Why?
I don't need any famous guy. I think they are all totally the same like the any other guy!
How and when did you get started in the business? What did you do before working in porn?
10 years ago I did my first scene in my life for Private. Before that I worked at Costume clearance.
For you what is the best scene you have ever done and why?
The scene I did with Rocco. Because it was really strong, perverse and emotional.

Whenever I have to play a mother for me is very funny and unreal!!!
What's the best thing about shooting porn? And the worst thing?
I can do everything I have ever dreamed of. There is no bad bit. That's why I still do it.

5 Eurobabes in Mini Skirts!
November 16, 2010
Movie: 5 Eurobabes in Miniskirts
Is there anything more beautiful on this planet than a gorgeous gal in a small tartan skirt showing her legs and a flash of knicker? No! 5 euro tarts in miniskirts get what's cumming to them: dribbling anal and vaginal cream pies, dp's and gapes. Starring maxi euro sluts: Milla, Jenny, Angel Rivas and Kitty, born to wear miniskirts and born to get cock in every hole. There is a knee jerkingly good scene from Asian porn god, Kenee Styles knobbing Rosee in a cute little skirt way above her knee. Miniskirts = maxi sluts.
Cover Star Quote:
"When I was younger I used to eat a lot of pussy. It just tasted so good. Now I prefer to have a man lick and suck my clit with a couple of fingers inside me before he fucks me with his big hard cock. That's what I call hot." Milla
Scene One (GBB)
Milla looks like the jeans miniskirt was invented for her. Bob Terminator and Choky Ice have also noticed. She has obviously had 2 dicks before as she sucks on them both. Milla loves deep anal which she gets and DP from the front and behind. With a cream pie dripping from her gaping ass and a cum shot in the face
Scene Two (BG)
If you were driving down the road and saw Kitty you would probably have an accident. Young, leggy and blond in a little skirt and high heels reading a book on bench. She is noticed by a passing motorcyclist who gets more than a nice smile for stopping. She lies back to let him get at her pretty pink pussy which looks like it tastes of a candy. She lets him fuck her anyway he wants until he cums just inside her and his jissom drips from her fanny as she spreads it with her fingers.
Scene Three (BG)
Jenny is a college girl in a skimpy tartan mini skirt who is asked to come to the front of the class to explain something on the board in a boring math class. When she goes back to her desk she notices a fellow student watching her so she lifts her skirt to reveal perfect white knickers. He pulls them away as she sits on a desk and starts to lick at her lunch box before nailing her and giving her a drippy cream pie.
Scene Four (BBG)
Angel Rivas certainly makes the grade in school in a miniskirt. A discussion in class about ballet leads to Angel getting hot under her tutu. She has always fancied her teacher and undoes his trousers and takes his hard cock in her soft mouth. Angel Rivas wants more though and her fellow student studies what is under her kilt. A double penetration on the teacher's desk leaves Angel with a A+ and an anal cream pie with a facial cum shot.
Scene Five (BG)
Sitting down in a miniskirt Rosee looks good enough to eat and Asian porn god Kenee Styles is starving hungry. She shows him her perfect skinny, tall body and puffy areola and the meal begins. Rosee doesn't just want a first course of oral and vaginal but quickly moves to a main course comprising of anal and sausage meat. Kenee penetrates her ass up to his bollocks until desert arrives, a face covered in pearl jam.
How I Seduce & Fuck Girls
November 9, 2010
Toni Ribas has fucked over 2,500 girls in his career as an award winning porn star and director. Bringing to Private classic series' like "Ibiza Sex Party", "Private Auditions" and now this new series
"How I Seduce & Fuck Girls"
In this first DVD in the series, Toni shows you the techniques he uses to pull girls in his everyday life, from his hairdresser to his next door neighbor, Toni teaches you how to perfect your skills at getting the women you want, when you want and it's all filmed for your pleasure.
"I hope that this series teaches guys the many different ways there are to seduce & fuck beautiful girls. It doesn't take a university degree, just a certain amount of confidence, the ability to think on the spot and of course, how to use the art of flirting to get any girl you want." Toni Ribas
Lesson number 1(BG)
Pretending to be looking for a new flat to buy or rent, he visits his local estate agency. The beautiful Aliz is the girl in charge and after some business and flirtation, she takes him off to see a 3 bedroomed flat with a sea view. It's not long before he tries to seal the deal with a blow job and Aliz, keen to rent out the apartment obliges.
Lesson number 2 (BG)
"Get them to cum to you."
After chasing all that pussy, Toni devises an idea to make this lesson a lot easier. He pretends to be sick and gets a visit from sexy doctor Aletta Ocean. This is playing doctors and nurses for grown ups!
Lesson number 3 (BG)
"How to get a female neighbor to open her door and get your cock in her hand in 5 minutes."
Toni has had his eye on his beautiful married neighbor Cindy Hope for quite sometime, so he poses as a door to door salesman. Once she has let him inside the house, he shows her what he is selling – sex toys! Soon she is getting excited by Mr Ribas' wares that within 5 minutes of opening the door, she has his cock in more than her hand…
Lesson number 4 (BG)
Toni decides to get some wheels as he poses as a taxi driver, scouring the streets for a classy lady who will hire him for the day to take her shopping around Barcelona. Yoha Galvez is that girl and after indulging her in a shopping marathon, she is, like most women, on a high. So high that he gets her to give him some acrobatic blow jobs in the car before they head for the hills on the outskirts of Barcelona where he fucks her on the bonnet of his taxi.
Lesson number 5 (BG)
"It's all about timing," says Toni, as he spies sexy young hairdresser Gilda Roberts. The reason it is all about timing is that Toni waits until the salon is near to closing time, that way he can get his haircut by her, and after she has finished she will also be finishing work, the perfect time to get her into bed. But first he must flirt with her while she washes and cuts his hair and soon after she has finished blow drying his hair, she is down on her knees blowing his cock.

Update: This treadmill has been discontinued. |
The Proform XP Weight Loss 620 treadmill is one of the better entry level treadmills from Proform.
However, just like any other entry level treadmills, this one also comes with questionable quality.
This machine is for people looking for a good entry level treadmill. However, you should not expect too much from this unit. Although it is one of the better entry level treadmills in the market, it is still a budget treadmill and this type of equipment rarely last more than a year without problems.
For those who prefer light workouts, then this Proform's QuietTech™ 1.75 CHP drive motor is a good option. It comes with up to 10mph speed and 10% incline. But due to its cheap parts, I don't recommend you maximize this machine's capabilities.
Using the Custom Weight Loss Center you can simply put your current weight, the number of calories you want to burn, and how long you want to workout then the machine will automatically customize a program for you so you can reach your goal.
The 20" x 55" tread belt is pretty impressive considering this is an entry level treadmill. Not only that, it also features an AirTech™ cushioning which is designed to offer maximum protection and comfort.
The 8 customizable iFIT® workouts give you the variety you need to improve your physique. While the Precision QuickSpeed™ control lets you increase the speed of your run through 0.1mph increments.
Other features include a Grafixx™ display which allows you to see an animated person running or walking with you throughout your workout and an Interplay™ Universal iPod dock which allows you to plug your iPods directly to the console for entertainment during exercise.
As I've mentioned above, the biggest fallback of this unit is its quality. It is an entry level treadmill so I don't think this machine will be problem-free for very long.
If you're going to buy an entry level treadmill, then the Proform XP Weight Loss 620 treadmill is definitely a great choice. However, it is not for serious runners. More advance runners should buy a machine with bigger motor and better quality. (see our best buy treadmills page)

Robot Bomb Shelter – Cobra Nightclub - March 9, 2011
Review and Photos by Dave MacIntyre
Canadian Music Week 2011
I never make it part of my normal routine to start off a Canadian Music Fest evening with bass-heavy electronic music and then move on to folky-acoustic sets. Really good techno is infectious and gets trapped in my head, making the appreciation for a banjo playing musician challenging. So what made Wednesday night different then? Jake Brower did.
To the misfortune of patrons who didn't arrive early, the artist better know as Robot Bomb Shelter, the San Francisco based electro wizard worked his brand of catchy dance tunes to a steadily filling room. What makes RBS's music so unique is the fact that he creates it on the spot using a laptop and an Akai APC40. Everything coming from the speakers is improvised, original and highly magnetic in its appeal, as those who did take advantage of the roomy dance floor would testify. It was a fantastic set, but as feared, ruined any hopes I had of listening to other bands that night. I headed home with Robot Bomb Shelter's 10-track CD Staring at Screens booming through my speakers.
Awwww...I love you, too, Mom!
Mom...thanks for the wonderful message on here. It was a great show and it would have been nice to see you in the crowd. I'll be playing near you hopefully soon.
Love you!

Hi. How are the Jasper hand scraped wood floors from builddirect.com? I already received the samples (which were delivered next day) and I'm really interested in the Jasper Harbors Collection - Handscraped Maple Engineered Maple - Indian Yellow. The sample passed the scratch, water, and dent test. Everything is good but not really sure how long it will last. It is made in China as well. I'll be buying 700 - 750 sq ft for about $3000. This will be for the living room, hallway, and family room. Thanks in advance. http://www.builddirect.com/Engineered-Hardwood-Floors/Maple---Indian-Yellow/ProductDisplay_8804_p1_10074819.aspx |

Id be wary about any product from china. They dont have the same quality control procedures that we have in the US. Yes the product is cheap and the sample which is not a sample from the actual 750 sq you bought passed the tests. You may get lucky and be happy with you product. But think of this. What happens when you come up a bundle short or if half the product isnt as exactly as what you had thought? Now you need to deal with the headache of trying to get more from over seas. Food for thought |
Thanks for the response gregmills. The product ships from New Jersey. The brand is Jasper. http://www.jasperflooring.com/index.htm |
"ships from New Jersey" Shipping has about zero to do with origination (manufacturing) of items. |
I know that. I mean the product is near by so I don't have to wait long if something goes wrong. |

If you purchase from a reputable distributor, they should stand behind the product. They will usually order extra boxes in case any have boards where the color is off... |

Better plan on over buying as a matter of course. The cull rate for crap products is pretty high. A lot of milling issues. What good does it do you to find something for $5 a square foot if you end up culling 40% of it? And then not having enough to finish? All of a sudden that $6.50 domestic product starts to look much better. At least you can go down to the local retailer for it and yell at them in person if you have an issue. |
My friend ordered about 1300 sq ft jasper handscrapped texas birch from them and it's been holding up well. I just ordered my second set of samples at no charge. I'm thinking of getting the hickory floors instead. |

Registered and posted the same day and not posted in any other forum. Doesn't really seem to be interested in any of the replies to the question posed. Discounts opions that don't mesh with the message that's being attempted to be pushed. SPAM? Yeah. I'd bet on it. |
I like the middle floor the best and then the lighter floor on the left next. I do not care for the darker floor on the right. But this is just my taste. |
"SPAM? Yeah. I'd bet on it." It would be one way for those seeking free advertising to post and not get caught early on by the site owner and contributors. I'd be curious to learn the location of the IP address...could prove to be a spammer or not related to Build Direct in any way. But that's up to the site owner to address. |

I apologize if you have already seen my posts, but I want to alert as many people as possible about my experience with BuildDirect, and what they should know before risking purchasing from this company. Firstly my experience involves purchasing about $10,000 worth of engineered flooring from this company which was shipped directly to my home in Las Vegas. The flooring was then acclimated in the home for 8 weeks!! Then a professional installer began installing and after the majority was installed, it began to delaminate. I immediately notified BuildDirect and sent them photos. Builddirect then said they would send an inspector. I waited and waited. All the while more and more of the flooring delaminated. Then when the inspector finally came he took about 30 mins. He did not even look at an entire level of flooring. He did not look at unused flooring planks which were delaminating. He did not take subfloor moisture measurements. In his report, there was absolutely NO assignment of cause. I subsequently learned that this inspector was not even certified at the time to do wood flooring inspections. BuildDirect came to their own conclusions of the reason for the problem (isnt that the responsibility of the inspector?) blaming my installer. Their explanation was NONSENSICAL. They stated that the house was too dry which dried out the wood and that was the cause. Well the humidity was measured at 31% in the house. The moisture of the external wood was measured at 11%, and the interior moisture level of the flooring was measured at 6%. In case you dont know, 6% moisure level in the wood is not dry at all. Further, 11% moisture level on the surface is VERY MOIST. Indeed, many manufacturers would likely not ship this out due to excessive moisture level. Therefore, BuildDirects claim that the dryness of my home is totally refuted by their own inspectors measurements. Firstly as noted, the flooring was not dry at all, and if anything was too moist. Secondly, if the dryness of my home was responsible for drying the wood, then the surface of the wood should have been dried out more than the interior. Instead the opposite condition existed. Therefore BuildDirects explanation and rationale for the delamination was NONSENSICAL used their own inspectors measurements. I subsequently hired a highly respected certified wood flooring inspector to do an independent inspection. He did a thorough 3 1/2 hour inspection doing multiple moisture measurements of the surface, interior and subloor moisture measurements. He wrote in his written report that the cause of the structural failure of my floor was, and I quote, "manufacturing responsiblity." Indeed please note that NO FLOOR PRODUCT SHOULD DELAMINATE under residential housing conditions PERIOD. This is actually stated by the Co-founder of BuildDirect himself. Still despite the written report, BuildDirect refused to honor their warranty, continuing to present no coherent explanation of why their product delaminated. I attempted to sue them, but learned that when you purchase from BuildDirect, their Terms of Use WAIVES your right to do so. Additionally their Terms of Use means that any dispute is decided by an arbitration company that BuildDirect chooses. Lastly since BuildDirect is based in Canada, even if you want to pursue the arbitration process, you have to travel to Canada. Because my floor had widely delaminated with the surface of the floor peeling up, I had to rip out the entire floor, resurface the subfloor. I purchased another manufacturers product (also enginnered, also same species) and install it. Total cost approximately 50K for a project originally budgeted for 17K. Dont risk this happening to you!!!! Buy from an American company who can more easily be held to their warranty. |

Master the Old World
A preview of the Game Master's Guide for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay |
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay | Published 13 October 2010 |
Greetings Game Masters, both old and new. While some of you have gathered hours of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay GM experience, others have yet to indulge their growing desire to create vivid adventures in the Old World. Regardless of which category you fall into, a new tome of vital information awaits you...
As we announced in our Shifting Through Shadows preview, there are several new products on the way that break up the Core Set materials into individual titles, giving fans new options in how they enjoy WFRP. These products come in the form of Guides and Vaults. Guides are hard-cover books that contain rules of play, and when used without components, offer a more traditional roleplaying experience. For players who desire the full WFRP experience, Vaults contain all the additional components that make WFRP such a revolutionary roleplaying system. Previously we looked at the Player's Guide and the Player's Vault, which contain all the key player character information and components from the Core Set. Today we'll look at the Game Master's Guide.
The Game Master's Guide gathers all the Game Master information from the Core Set, as well as the rules for Corruption, Mutation, and Disease from Winds of Magic and Signs of Faith, and presents them in an easy-to-reference hardcover book. Featuring clarified and expanded rules, this Guide contains nearly all the information from the Tome of Mysteries, Tome of Adventure, and Tome of Blessings from the Core Set. While it also includes the rules and mechanics for corruption, mutation, and disease, players can still find all the background information on magic and faith in the Old World in the Winds of Magic and Signs of Faith expansions, respectively.
While these new products have not changed the fundamental rules of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, they have created options for the growing fan base of WFRP players who would like to customize their game experience to their liking or want additional entry points for the game. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay remains a unique roleplaying experience that utilizes helpful components.
One of the exciting features of the Game Master's Guide is the inclusion of charts and tables that compile the information found on the cards from the Core Set. These tables and charts include all the critical wounds, insanities, miscasts, mutations, and diseases released since the Core Set (WHF01) up until Signs of Faith (WHF08). These charts are excellent tools for GMs who want to customize their decks and quickly reference specific cards on the fly. Additionally, these charts provide players with suggestions and rules for playing Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay without the use of additional components.
We've prepared two previews from the Game Master's Guide:
Game Master's Guide Index (pdf, 11.7 MB)
Game Master's Guide partial appendix (pdf, 19.7 MB)
Much like the Player's Guide, the Game Master's Guide is a wonderful tool for new and veteran GMs. Also, to complement the information found in the Game Master's Guide, be sure to pick up the Game Master's Vault for all the necessary components to enhance your Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay experience! Keep checking back for more on these exciting upcoming products!
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is a roleplaying game that sets unlikely heroes on the road to perilous adventure, in the grim setting of Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy world. Players will venture into the dark corners of the Empire, guided by luck and Fate, and challenge the threats that others cannot or will not face.
I am seeing a change in the winds here. FFG seems to be slowly drifting WFRP back to a traditional experience. Perhaps there really aren't as many fans of the components as I was led to believe.
"...growing fan base of WFRP players who would like to customize their game to their liking or want additional entry points for the game..."
I agree with UniversalHead. I think a new adventure would be a great touch.
I don't think many people would buy the book just for the adventure, Pumpkin. Maybe a few, but I think most people would buy it anyway. Those who don't feel like buying it would get the pdf version just for the adventure. Since it is not whole product about an adventure, it wouldn't have any components anyway...
Personally, I'm happy this book has no "new" content, including a new adventure.
I think if that had occurred it would have split the early adopters because it would have essentially forced someone like me, who won't be buying the guides because it contains no new content, to buy the guide, just to get the adventure.
I think FFG have done exactly the right thing by not putting any real "new" content into these guides/vaults.
The vaults have upgraded cards, which i guess is unfortunate if an early adopter is desperate to have upgraded cards rather rather than a sleeved copy, but perhaps FFG will also include those in a later completel new content expansion?
Yes, thanks FFG! Signs of Faith is shipping now and any day it will hit stores. And those new Guides & vaults products are looking good. Can't wait for all those products, I'm hoping that all those will hit stores the same time. Can't when it will be. I'm also wondering why the are not in the upcoming section? As far as I kow, they should be avalaible in november, so why the are now there?
@ The Spaniard - I'm happy to hear that, but where will the errata'd cards come from then? Collection freaks (like myself) like to have updated cards (not sleeved copies!).
Yeah a new adventure would've been A nice touch UniversalHead
True, but of course us WFRP completists will buy it! :)
@Angelic Despot
If you have the Core Set (and later expansions) other than the ease of reference, there is no reason to purchase the Players Guide/Vault and GM's Vault. These items may be of use to new players, but they do not replace or override the core set.
I mean it looks good, and it's nice to have all the info all together, it just would have been nice to throw us 'early adopters' a bone with a fresh adventure!
Disappointed to see it's the same adventure that's in the Core set (An Eye for an Eye).
@Angelic Despot: My understanding is that the errata'd cards will be in the Player's Vault.
So glad to see the chart in there. Hopefully this will also contain the Statuses chart and a couple other ones I've been wanting as a quickref but have been too busy to make myself as well (maybe find it in the index doc...)

The government of Pakistan has restored access to Twitter, after briefly blocking the social networking site for what it labeled "blasphemous" material.
The tweets in question promoted a Facebook competition to post images of the Prophet Mohammad. It's considered offensive to Islam to publish depictions of the prophet.
The popular website was blocked for about 12 hours Sunday, after Twitter refused to remove the offensive material.
Mohammad Yaseen, chairman of the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority, said Facebook agreed to address Pakistan's concerns about the competition.
This isn't the first time the Pakistani government has blocked social networking sites.
In 2010, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube were inaccessible for nearly two weeks, again because of what the government called blasphemous content.

How green is your footprint? Lush green sod footprints on the walkway to the train station led commuters to signage bearing that question. That sign, nestled in a container filled with flowering plants, urged readers to, "Leave a greener footprint for what you already pay for garden services. Call today for a free eco-evaluation."
That unconventional approach is typical of the forward thinking of Richard Heller, CLP CLT, owner, CEO and CFO of Greener by Design, based in New Rochelle, N.Y. (Catch the video of the set up and commuter reactions on their website www.greenerdesigns.com.)
Heller developed his interest in sustainability in college. "I didn't think the culture in America was going to make it going the way we were going," he says. "When the U.S. Green Building Council came into creation in 1993, it became clear to me that LEED was going to be the first step towards a sustainable future. I strongly believe there's no other option. In 1996, I decided to take a stand, investing myself 100 percent into sustainability. I found a way to express that through the design, installation and maintenance of green roofs."
It wasn't easy. Introduction of the green roof was not just an enjoyable oasis in the heart of the concrete jungle, but a workable component in the overall concept of sustainability, and required a whole lot of education. The process was teaching first and selling second, a formula that proved effective. Greener by Design has built more green roofs than "just about anyone else in the Northeast."
Heller says, "Green roofs are essentially ecological mimicry, creating an environment that doesn't occur naturally, but utilizes nature by mimicking it. Clients now recognize the sustainability concept, so it's easier to sell."
Five years ago, Heller took his program to the suburbs. His vision is all about working with nature to reweave the threads of the local ecosystem. It's a science-based system centering on soil health, organic solutions and strategic plant selection, thus the tagline, "Your Natural Choice in Landscaping."
Following years of synthetic product applications and removal of organic matter, many properties have depleted soils, along with the accompanying compaction and drainage issues. Heller says, "Many people are more invested in manicuring their property then investing in its health. That's like putting makeup on a dead person. ... We get to the heart of the problems."
It starts with a soil test. "During the initial consultation, I can point out struggling plants, adding comments such as, 'I'll bet you 10 to 1 an acid test will show a pH problem there.' When the test results prove it, they're blown away," Heller says.
It's an evolution, gradually developing the soil balance for a more self-sustaining environment that needs less and less human intervention. Crews follow stringent practices that include IPM, they don't bag grass clippings, and autumn leaves are mulched into the lawn. Heller says, "Our clients understand that if we remove organic matter in the form of leaves and clippings, they're going to have to pay us to bring some back in the form of composted materials. From an ROI perspective, it makes sense to them."
Still, in a culture of instant results, the time factor is Heller's main problem, and he's lost some clients because of it. It takes at least a year for chemical changes in the soil to become complete and/or restore microbial activity in inert soil. "We're considering limited, strategic use of synthetics as a bridge program, similar to weaning a drug addict from heroin, for clients that find it hard to handle the evolution process," he says.
Often, mowing is the entry to full maintenance service, though it's the least profitable of the offerings. "It puts our crew on the property once a week, developing a relationship and observing the property," says Heller. "Less-expensive operators with little horticultural knowledge often are doing us a favor. We pick up clients in July or August when those scalped lawns burn out. By then, the homeowner is ready to let us take care of it right."
After working with some suburban properties for three or four years, Heller is seeing a massive difference in their usability. Once-compacted soils, that have had several years of organic material, live humus and regular aeration now absorb the runoff from neighboring properties that used to turn lawns into swimming pools.
Heller says, "In the suburban market, people don't trust you unless you're taking care of their property. What I really love is designing and installing. But, unless you are doing, or are willing to do, the maintenance, there's little opportunity to design. Even then, so much of the Northeast suburban property has been developed, it's nearly all redesign work."
During a design consultation, the client chooses the textures and colors they like. Heller recommends native plants when possible, coaching them through the selection process on the basis of knowledge and experience. He explains the ecological functions of native plants, including how they host more beneficial insects, and that invasive plants require more maintenance to control them. With appropriate plant selection and balanced soil the client will lose fewer plant materials and their plants will be more vibrant and healthy, thus worth more.
"Some clients are committed to our natural approach," he says. "Others just think their property looks really good and are glad their kids and pets are not exposed to chemicals. We're all right with that. The client doesn't need to embrace the whole sustainability picture; only what pertains to the landscape. They will have us around and we will rub off on them after a while."
Heller's suburban target clients have enough commitment to horticulture to appreciate the company's science-based programs. He says, "The appearance of the property helps us identify which ones to contact. I can't see those properties in the city (they are up in the air or hidden by building fronts) so that market is harder to develop. We rely more on word-of-mouth and referrals."
He considers it much easier to develop cost-effective marketing tools for the suburban market. For example, he writes columns for The Pelham Weekly, a community-focused publication. He's also borrowed an idea from another PLANET member, placing a plant-covered arbor in the back of a company pickup truck, parking it in the middle of town, and handing out literature.
Unconventional, guerilla marketing techniques work better, too. "Most train stations have a coffee stand," says Heller. "We arrange to buy 100 or so cups of coffee if we can put our company stickers on the cups and talk to people as they get their coffee. We've found we get more work from existing clients than new people this way. We use a service (www.timetrade.com) that issues emails to existing clients encouraging them to set an appointment online to discuss their needs. Of the 40 clients emailed in one suburb, we heard back from three. Even when we try to make it easy, it's hard for people to find time in today's society. So, we need to adapt to their lifestyle. They're pleased to spend that five- or 10-minute wait time in the train station talking about their property and possible new projects."
Heller initially experimented with electric mowers and trimmers, but found it a competitive disadvantage. Instead, he's converting the company's gas-powered mowers to propane. He is considering all-electric cars for maintenance in the city, but plans to be an early adapter, making that change only after others have proven them effective. He's invested in the switch to liquid fertilization, installing equipment to brew his own compost tea as well as application equipment.
He hopes that change, combined with a change in pay models, cuts maintenance staffing levels in half, from six crews to three. Heller is switching from hours pay to "piecework," or an open book "ownership thinking" pay model, following the lead of a colleague, David Bender, owner of Weeded. "It's a collaborative pay model, basically a piece work concept, setting a budget for the day for a specified body of work," he says. "The employees determine whether they'll finish the tasks in five hours or eight hours, thus motivating them to work more efficiently. While it will require much more 'hands-on training' on my part, it's a level of 'ownership thinking' I view as another area of sustainability."
Another major change, and investment, is integrating all the company's data and processes into one system, Asset from Include Software Corporation. Heller says, "We've been paperless for some time, but with different aspects of our operations incorporated in different cloud-based sites, often resulting in information slipping between the cracks due to administrative and/or field error. The new software is a huge investment I'm only willing to take because of the power of networking. Many of my colleagues use it and swear by it."
While innovation will always play a role in Greener by Design, Heller feels he's achieved conceptual mastery of the company's focus on every level: green roofs and walls, ecological suburban property management and internal operational systems - all sustainable.
Heller finds green roofs and green walls less necessary within residential suburban areas which still have ecosystems, albeit severely impacted ones, though some communities do demand that large houses have green roofs. He says, "They're more needed in the urban area where the footprint of the built environment has practically obliterated the ecosystem"
That doesn't minimize their importance. As Heller says, "The green roofing part of the business will have a direct impact on the health and future of New Yorkers for generations to come. Over time, we have faith our program will spread the sustainability message into the suburbs as well, one green step at a time."

Exact versus Relative Atomic Mass
Name: Jimmy A. Status: educator Grade: other Location: N/A Country: USA Date: May 2007
If actual masses of all the elements are known very accurately, then we should use the actual masses of elements.But we are still using the relative atomic masses of elements.What is the reason that we are still using the relative atomic masses of elements?
Jimmy A.
You have raised a much larger issue. The unit of mass -- the kilogram -- is defined in terms of a platinum - iridium cylinders. There are several around the world. It is the last of the fundamental physical constants still based on a physical artifact. So all masses are already relative to begin with. As you point out the actual masses of all, actually just most, of the atomic isotopes are known with more precision (in contrast to "accuracy") than the standard itself. So, although relative, the masses of atomic isotopes are self-consistent -- and for most all applications that is "good enough".
There is a lot of research in progress to replace the definition of the "kilogram" to a one based on the other "fundamental constants" because the "artifact" has changed its value with time. There are several candidates under consideration, but there isn't yet a consensus about which method should be used to define the kilogram. There are "pros" and "cons" of the various methods. The details are to long to address here but you can read about the "problem" by searching the term "definition of the kilogram". A couple of sites that I found are:
Scientists are very careful when "messing with" the definitions of fundamental physical constants.
Vince Calder
I think we have to be careful with what we mean by "actual mass". One could argue that it is possible to measure the actual mass of a single atom (perhaps by tracking the curve path of a charged ion) - but if we look closely, all these measurements have an embedded number that is still based on the idea of relative atomic masses. Usually, such analyses use the approximation of Avogadro's number (still not known to the units place of significant figures), the estimation of the mass to charge ratio, or a derived molar mass - all of which are based on the agreed upon relative masses.

Ghostcrawler responds to heroic dungeon difficulty complaints {WoW}
Jan 13th 2011 8:03AM Heroic nerf came too soon. I knew it was coming but I wasn't expecting it until the next tier.
It really is starting to feel that Blizzard listens to forum qq too much now. But what do I know? I just play the game.
Breakfast Topic: What's your proudest WoW moment? {WoW}
Jan 6th 2011 8:23AM We were attacking a horde controlled LM in AB. I Feigned Death right by the flag and all the horde turned their attention to other allies by the mill building. I popped up and capped the flag. I simply stopped the points from that node for the horde. The best part? We got [We Had It All Along *cough*].
A close second would be alt leveling at the end of wrath in AV. It was me and two guildies queuing together late night. We were running really smooth- in fact to the point where I had set up macros for each phase of the fight and people from other realms were asking "Is Powerforce here?" as soon as they entered. I was able to go from 73 to 80 in ~ 5 hours it seemed. And I've been recognized by other people on my realm since on a handful of occasions.
The Queue: In short {WoW}
Dec 31st 2010 12:15AM Question:
How much is known about N'Zath? I haven't scourged the lore in game or out to find out more about him.
I was thinking- Deathwing is this insane dragon trying to destroy the world... someone must be using that to their advantage. Otherwise he would have destroyed the world already. Only thing I was able to figure out is that N'Zath is an old god who probably controls Deathwing and embraces shadows in some way. (ie- Yogg= dreams)
In game quote from A Villan Unmasked: Major Samuelson yells: Gods of shadow, lords of twilight ... give me strength!
Able to confirm/deny or expand on this at all?

Oct 15th 2010 12:03PM Few questions about the MM spec/rotation. If you're getting 2/2 Marked for Death why apply Hunter's Mark in the first place?
I found that instead of 2/2 Marked for Death you instead get 2/2 Bombardment and 1/2 Rapid Fire- for the sole purpose of great AoE damage which still serves a purpose in 5 mans and ICC trash.

Live from the Floor of the 2012 Washington, D.C. Auto Show
Fittingly for our nation's capital, the Washington Auto Show has a public policy focus, and the automakers there spend a lot of time focusing on the legal issues of the car market. But that doesn't mean there's no good sheet metal on the floor. PM was on hand at the D.C. show this weekend, and here are the new machines we saw there.

I hadn't noticed this before, but the tsukubai arrangement shown on the dust jacket of the book 'A Japanese Touch for your Garden' looks very similar to one in the Tea Garden of the Nitobe Memorial Garden.
As the book was published in 1980, and the original Nitobe tsukubai arrangement by Professor Mori was discarded & replaced at some time after the early 1970s, I began to wonder if the book's picture was in fact taken in the Nitobe garden. A brief examination shows that they aren't the same thing, but it does make me wonder where the view on the book's cover is & who created it. Does anybody know? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Herb - The first picture is one which seems to have been originally photographed by Haruzo Ohashi - in fact it's identical, except for being cropped at the top It is Plate 31 in 'Japanese Courtyard Gardens photographs by Haruzo Ohashi' Jack |
oops - sorry.. he doesn't say who was the designer/builder. |
again, sorry for not being more mentally organized. The book of Ohashi photos was published in 1997 by Graphic-sha/ Publications Japan, and distributed by Kodansha US This must be a new/recent edition of 'A Japanese touch' ? |
Jack - It isn't you who should be apologising for not being mentally organized - it should be me. I was quite wrong to say that the book - at least the one I own - was published in 1980. I should have read it more carefully. My copy is one of the the Paperback editions, though I can't decypher which, because it reads - "First paperback edition, 1992 Anyway, it does attribute nearly all the photographs in it to Haruzo Ohashi. Now that you've identified where the particular tsukubai is - the courtyard of the Sagano Restaurant (Fukuoka) - I wonder if anybody knows who constructed it? Because the two are so similar, my thought is that maybe - just maybe - it was the same person as constructed the one in the Nitobe Memorial Garden. Or is the one a copy, more or less, of the other? On the other hand, there must be countless tsukubais in existence, so it may just be a case of random convergence. Herb |
It is a delightful setting, but as you suggest in your last sentence, fairly straight forward as tsukubai arrangements go.. my guess - a local installer..I doubt it would have been anyone 'famous' :) (though I'm not certain) - as Ohashi seems to only mention the Owner and location, and which camera and f-stop he used still.. someone may know Jack |
I have that book, and most of the pics are wonderful and superb!! Truly excellent material if one want to get inspired!! /Henrik |
I agree, it's an excellent book, and both tsukubai's are also good - entirely professional jobs. Having said that, do the pictures show that professionalism often - quite legitimately - uses what's sometimes disparagingly called the cookie-cutter approach? (Asuka didn't use that expression, & instead said 'fairly straightforward' which I think is close to the same thing). Indeed, does professionalism actually require a good deal of the cookie-cutter approach? (see the thread 'Professionalism or something else?'). Herb |
Herb - I hope "fairly straightforward" didn't sound like a put-down - that wasn't my intent I do like both tsukubai .. and yes, I think part of gaining expertise and professionalism in any endeavour requires an equal measure of aptitude, study and practice.. Jack |
Jack - I certainly didn't take it in any way as a put-down. My particular interest in the Nitobe tsukubai comes from it being re-arranged a few years ago. My own feeling that, good as the Nitobe example now is, I still prefer the way Professor Mori did it - as well as his choice & arrangement of plants when he originally laid out the garden over 30 years ago. I'm posting some pictures -before and after - of it & of a second tsukubai in the Tea Garden. Herb Click to compare the original and revised layouts of the Tsukubai with the Oribe lantern Click to see the other Tsukubai and plants as they looked around 1970 |
I see what you mean, Herb.. when viewed side by side, I too prefer Mori's compositions by a margin .. his division of volumetric space..the rythm of the overlapping layers which leads the eye up the elevation plane..and the overall sense of refinement... display the subtle shadings that bear the mark of an artist (imo) Jack |

"Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Drink as much water as you can." How often have we heard that? We know by now that water is crucial to our body's functioning, that it sharpens the mind, speeds up our metabolism and makes our skin beautiful, but we continue to have water marketed to us like we're picky children turning up our noses dramatically at a plateful of freshly steamed Brussels sprouts. Water has been packaged in every form, yet the fight to market the "best" water continues. The cluster below highlights some of the most unique water marketing we've featured.
While companies like Bling Water push to entice your yen for ultra luxury, others try to sway you to drink tap water from NYC. Others still opt for pure cleanliness by bottling rainwater from the cleanest skies on earth.
So, pour yourself a glass of water, and enjoy this cluster!

2010 Year End Lists: Christina Rentz, Publicist
Superchunk's triumphant return to the "active" column - I was fortunate enough to follow Superchunk around a bit as they played two sold out shows in NYC, rocked Jimmy Fallon's face off, taught Vegas how to pogo, and shared a too-good-to-be-true bill with Telekinesis & Teenage Fanclub in Seattle. Majesty Shredding was the soundtrack to so much of the fun I had this year!
Shout Out Louds at the 9:30 Club in DC - A Merge staffer roadtrip to DC to see our favorite Swedes - jumped up and down in the VIP section and saw Shout Out Louds blow the roof off of a sold out 9:30 Club.
Game Change & Furious Love - My two favorite books this year. One was a salacious tale of election politics & personalities and the other was a true story of love, jewelry and booze.
The Clientele on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon - The Clientele made their late night television debut in March. Staying up late to watch the performance air live with the band while jumping up & down and pointing at the TV was the best thing ever!
Doug Loves Movies - My favorite podcast! Comedians talking about movies in front of a live audience & the oh-so-fun Leonard Maltin Game - start with any episode featuring Paul F. Tompkins, Jon Hamm or Adam Scott!
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Louis & The League - Apparently, 2010 is the year I became a frat boy, but I don't care, because FX made me laugh more than any other network this year.
The Love Language @ Kings Barcade - Best show I saw all year.
Matador 21 - Vegas is weird, but Matador made it awesome! High points included hanging out with the friends we met in Greece, seeing The Clean for the first time ever, Spoon wrestling the "Loudest Band Ever" award away from Sonic Youth, and a tie between Ted Leo & Belle & Sebastian for "Most Charming Band"
Eat Dave Love - cutest food blog(ger) on the internet!
Ted Leo & the Pharmacists - The Brutalist Bricks & their shows at the Cradle & Matador 21 - so much energy and incredibly catchy songs!

CONCEPT A working-class guy (Everybody Loves Raymond's Kevin
James) with simple desires e.g., a 70-inch TV and a loving wife
(Fired Up's Leah Remini) finds his world pinched when his
rascally father-in-law (Seinfeld's Jerry Stiller) moves
THE SCOOP James hopes it will remind viewers of The
Honeymooners: ''They made funny stuff out of everyday things;
that's what I want to do.'' And costar Remini says she doesn't
mind being compared to Alice Kramden: ''I thought she was great.
[Ralph and Alice] loved each other. That's what the show was
about, not him yelling.''
BOTTOM LINE A solid, earthy sitcom and a
strong, sensible bridge between Cosby and the fab Raymond.
CONCEPT Prodigal son (Saved by the Bell's Mark-Paul Gosselaar,
above) goes home to start a company he hopes will save his small
town's economy. Wouldn't you know, he's got a jealous brother
gumming things up.
THE SCOOP Pretty low-rent considering the
source: thirtysomething's Joseph Dougherty. Nonetheless, ''Joe
says this is thirtysomething with more steak, less sizzle,'' says
Gosselaar, who hopes to shake his teen-idol status: ''People feel
like they were my best friend for six years; what can you do?'' Be
grateful? Most actors never experience that sort of audience
BOTTOM LINE Opposite Ally McBeal, this Knots Landing landfill doesn't suggest an audience holder, despite a strong
opener (7th Heaven).
CONCEPT A straight woman (Prey's Debra Messing) and a gay
guy (Eric McCormack) share an apartment. Lifestyles commingle for
THE SCOOP Razor-sharp writing, crack timing, and a
terrific ensemble cast give this show quality buzz. Says
McCormack: ''The relationships between gay men and straight women
I know, they have more fun than anybody. Straight guys like me
are jealous because of how much fun they have. We can show the
audience part of that.'' Notes executive producer and cocreator
David Kohan (Dream On), ''Look at all the tv shows, and outside of
[Seinfeld's] Jerry and Elaine, I can't think of a man and woman
who are a couple and who are close and compatible where the
inevitable question isn't 'Will they or won't they?' Here they
BOTTOM LINE The best thing Ellen hath wrought.
CONCEPT High-strung TV anchor demoted to lifestyles reporter
(Dream On's Brian Benben) copes and plots his way back to
the top.
THE SCOOP Exec producer and Drew Carey Show vet Robert
Borden says the doofus new anchor (Charles Esten) will be an
ongoing nemesis for Benben, á la Kathy Kinney's Mimi on Drew. One
promising plotline: Benben will go to an anger-management class
and pack on the pounds while trying to control his temper. ''We'll
put a little weight on him,'' says Borden, ''and see how he relates
to women with the added girth.''
BOTTOM LINE The key to Benben's
style is his air of desperation. Unfortunately, the whole show
seems a little desperate frantic and overdone. Everything around
him should calm down and sharpen up.
CONCEPT Four L.A. physicians Ken Olin, Matt Craven,
Sheryl Lee, and Rick Roberts share a private practice.
SCOOP Says exec producer John Lee Hancock, ''It's a tough time to
start a business as a doctor; we'll examine that.'' In the HMO
era, it's even harder to be a patient; as Hancock notes, ''people
are trying to figure out what to expect from a doctor. Also, how
much is a doctor expected to give?'' Describing the story lines,
Hancock says, ''We're not doing brain surgery.'' But the slick
pilot, with Olin's oleaginous doc particularly unsympathetic,
could use a few more brain cells.
BOTTOM LINE Watching the pilot
was akin to sitting in a waiting room with a white-noise machine.

Based on kernel version 3.16. Page generated on 2014-08-06 21:40 EST.
1 PHY SUBSYSTEM 2 Kishon Vijay Abraham I <firstname.lastname@example.com> 3 4 This document explains the Generic PHY Framework along with the APIs provided, 5 and how-to-use. 6 7 1. Introduction 8 9 *PHY* is the abbreviation for physical layer. It is used to connect a device 10 to the physical medium e.g., the USB controller has a PHY to provide functions 11 such as serialization, de-serialization, encoding, decoding and is responsible 12 for obtaining the required data transmission rate. Note that some USB 13 controllers have PHY functionality embedded into it and others use an external 14 PHY. Other peripherals that use PHY include Wireless LAN, Ethernet, 15 SATA etc. 16 17 The intention of creating this framework is to bring the PHY drivers spread 18 all over the Linux kernel to drivers/phy to increase code re-use and for 19 better code maintainability. 20 21 This framework will be of use only to devices that use external PHY (PHY 22 functionality is not embedded within the controller). 23 24 2. Registering/Unregistering the PHY provider 25 26 PHY provider refers to an entity that implements one or more PHY instances. 27 For the simple case where the PHY provider implements only a single instance of 28 the PHY, the framework provides its own implementation of of_xlate in 29 of_phy_simple_xlate. If the PHY provider implements multiple instances, it 30 should provide its own implementation of of_xlate. of_xlate is used only for 31 dt boot case. 32 33 #define of_phy_provider_register(dev, xlate) \ 34 __of_phy_provider_register((dev), THIS_MODULE, (xlate)) 35 36 #define devm_of_phy_provider_register(dev, xlate) \ 37 __devm_of_phy_provider_register((dev), THIS_MODULE, (xlate)) 38 39 of_phy_provider_register and devm_of_phy_provider_register macros can be used to 40 register the phy_provider and it takes device and of_xlate as 41 arguments. For the dt boot case, all PHY providers should use one of the above 42 2 macros to register the PHY provider. 43 44 void devm_of_phy_provider_unregister(struct device *dev, 45 struct phy_provider *phy_provider); 46 void of_phy_provider_unregister(struct phy_provider *phy_provider); 47 48 devm_of_phy_provider_unregister and of_phy_provider_unregister can be used to 49 unregister the PHY. 50 51 3. Creating the PHY 52 53 The PHY driver should create the PHY in order for other peripheral controllers 54 to make use of it. The PHY framework provides 2 APIs to create the PHY. 55 56 struct phy *phy_create(struct device *dev, const struct phy_ops *ops, 57 struct phy_init_data *init_data); 58 struct phy *devm_phy_create(struct device *dev, const struct phy_ops *ops, 59 struct phy_init_data *init_data); 60 61 The PHY drivers can use one of the above 2 APIs to create the PHY by passing 62 the device pointer, phy ops and init_data. 63 phy_ops is a set of function pointers for performing PHY operations such as 64 init, exit, power_on and power_off. *init_data* is mandatory to get a reference 65 to the PHY in the case of non-dt boot. See section *Board File Initialization* 66 on how init_data should be used. 67 68 Inorder to dereference the private data (in phy_ops), the phy provider driver 69 can use phy_set_drvdata() after creating the PHY and use phy_get_drvdata() in 70 phy_ops to get back the private data. 71 72 4. Getting a reference to the PHY 73 74 Before the controller can make use of the PHY, it has to get a reference to 75 it. This framework provides the following APIs to get a reference to the PHY. 76 77 struct phy *phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *string); 78 struct phy *phy_optional_get(struct device *dev, const char *string); 79 struct phy *devm_phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *string); 80 struct phy *devm_phy_optional_get(struct device *dev, const char *string); 81 82 phy_get, phy_optional_get, devm_phy_get and devm_phy_optional_get can 83 be used to get the PHY. In the case of dt boot, the string arguments 84 should contain the phy name as given in the dt data and in the case of 85 non-dt boot, it should contain the label of the PHY. The two 86 devm_phy_get associates the device with the PHY using devres on 87 successful PHY get. On driver detach, release function is invoked on 88 the the devres data and devres data is freed. phy_optional_get and 89 devm_phy_optional_get should be used when the phy is optional. These 90 two functions will never return -ENODEV, but instead returns NULL when 91 the phy cannot be found. 92 93 It should be noted that NULL is a valid phy reference. All phy 94 consumer calls on the NULL phy become NOPs. That is the release calls, 95 the phy_init() and phy_exit() calls, and phy_power_on() and 96 phy_power_off() calls are all NOP when applied to a NULL phy. The NULL 97 phy is useful in devices for handling optional phy devices. 98 99 5. Releasing a reference to the PHY 100 101 When the controller no longer needs the PHY, it has to release the reference 102 to the PHY it has obtained using the APIs mentioned in the above section. The 103 PHY framework provides 2 APIs to release a reference to the PHY. 104 105 void phy_put(struct phy *phy); 106 void devm_phy_put(struct device *dev, struct phy *phy); 107 108 Both these APIs are used to release a reference to the PHY and devm_phy_put 109 destroys the devres associated with this PHY. 110 111 6. Destroying the PHY 112 113 When the driver that created the PHY is unloaded, it should destroy the PHY it 114 created using one of the following 2 APIs. 115 116 void phy_destroy(struct phy *phy); 117 void devm_phy_destroy(struct device *dev, struct phy *phy); 118 119 Both these APIs destroy the PHY and devm_phy_destroy destroys the devres 120 associated with this PHY. 121 122 7. PM Runtime 123 124 This subsystem is pm runtime enabled. So while creating the PHY, 125 pm_runtime_enable of the phy device created by this subsystem is called and 126 while destroying the PHY, pm_runtime_disable is called. Note that the phy 127 device created by this subsystem will be a child of the device that calls 128 phy_create (PHY provider device). 129 130 So pm_runtime_get_sync of the phy_device created by this subsystem will invoke 131 pm_runtime_get_sync of PHY provider device because of parent-child relationship. 132 It should also be noted that phy_power_on and phy_power_off performs 133 phy_pm_runtime_get_sync and phy_pm_runtime_put respectively. 134 There are exported APIs like phy_pm_runtime_get, phy_pm_runtime_get_sync, 135 phy_pm_runtime_put, phy_pm_runtime_put_sync, phy_pm_runtime_allow and 136 phy_pm_runtime_forbid for performing PM operations. 137 138 8. Board File Initialization 139 140 Certain board file initialization is necessary in order to get a reference 141 to the PHY in the case of non-dt boot. 142 Say we have a single device that implements 3 PHYs that of USB, SATA and PCIe, 143 then in the board file the following initialization should be done. 144 145 struct phy_consumer consumers[] = { 146 PHY_CONSUMER("dwc3.0", "usb"), 147 PHY_CONSUMER("pcie.0", "pcie"), 148 PHY_CONSUMER("sata.0", "sata"), 149 }; 150 PHY_CONSUMER takes 2 parameters, first is the device name of the controller 151 (PHY consumer) and second is the port name. 152 153 struct phy_init_data init_data = { 154 .consumers = consumers, 155 .num_consumers = ARRAY_SIZE(consumers), 156 }; 157 158 static const struct platform_device pipe3_phy_dev = { 159 .name = "pipe3-phy", 160 .id = -1, 161 .dev = { 162 .platform_data = { 163 .init_data = &init_data, 164 }, 165 }, 166 }; 167 168 then, while doing phy_create, the PHY driver should pass this init_data 169 phy_create(dev, ops, pdata->init_data); 170 171 and the controller driver (phy consumer) should pass the port name along with 172 the device to get a reference to the PHY 173 phy_get(dev, "pcie"); 174 175 9. DeviceTree Binding 176 177 The documentation for PHY dt binding can be found @ 178 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/phy-bindings.txt

Best Denver shows this week (01/18/13 – 01/24/13): The Walkmen, Cat Power and more
By Matt Miller | January 18th, 2013 | No Comments »4) Robin Williams, Jan. 18, Macky Auditorium, $92.35-$165.75
How much would you pay to see Mrs. Doubtfire, the Genie, Patch Adams, the teacher from "Dead Poets Society," the teacher from "Good Will Hunting," the teacher from "Flubber," or in other words, the guy you've loved in basically every awesome '90s movie? It's hard to pass up a chance to see a legendary comedian and actor in person. So if you have the money for a ticket to see Robin Williams, you'd better do it, especially since it's a glimpse at a rare side of Williams at a sit-down chat with director and longtime comedy insider David Steinberg ("Seinfeld," "Curb Your Enthusiasm").
No. 3 best concert of the week >>
