Bleeding Edge TV 248: Zoombak GPS family, vehicle, and pet locator
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Features, GPS, Household, Podcasts, Transportation, Videocasts
It's 10:00. Do you know where your dog is? Or your car, or the loved one who is responsible for the car? Zoombak is aiming to make sure you never have to look far to get the answer to that question. Their advanced GPS locators come in two sizes, one perfect for placing in an auto and one made to clip on to the collar of a dog weighing 12 pounds or more.
Both versions of Zoombak offer the ability to set up "safety zones," via the Zoombak website. When the auto or dog that is wearing the Zoombak GPS unit leaves the safety zone, Zoombak will send a text message or an email with the location of the unit, and the location can be tracked live on Zoombak's website.
Dog and Auto units retail for $200 and $250 respectively, and Zoombak's monthly service starts at $9.99 a month.
Bleeding Edge TV 247: Powerbeam wireless laser power
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Design, Features, Podcasts, Science, Videocasts
Cordless extension cords? Powerbeam has it covered. Right now, Powerbeam is perfecting a wireless, laser-based power transfer system that can act as an extension cord to power devices using a line-of-sight system that will send power as far as you need it to go. The lasers are about the size of pepper flakes, and will transfer tens of watts of power, and in the future could transfer more.
Powerbeam has patented a battery powered safety system on the back end of the product that will stop the laser (which creates a warm feeling where it comes into contact with a person, nothing ray gun-esque here) when someone crosses its path.
Powerbeam estimates that their power transfer system is 12 months out to the consumer market.
Bleeding Edge TV 244: A look at Drobo Storage Robot
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Accessories, Apple, CES, CES 2008, Design, Features, PC / Laptop, Podcasts, Storage, Videocasts
One of this year's hottest topics is storage. It seems like we're about two steps away from getting flash drives as prizes in cereal boxes. With the release of OSX Leopard and its Time Machine app, backing up computers has become easier than ever. Enter Data Robotics' Drobo storage robot.
As easy to use as a flash drive, the Drobo has four slots to accommodate 3.5" SATA I or II hard drives, and automatically makes redundant copies of data in order to protect from single drive failure. Drobo uses USB 2.0 to make backing up quickly, and is fully operable with OSX and Windows 2000 and up.
Retailing at $499, Drobo comes with everything you need to get started except the hard drives. It's available now from online retailers.
Bleeding Edge TV 243: Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin iPod/iPhone dock
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Accessories, Apple, Cell Phones, CES, CES 2008, Design, Features, Handhelds, Home Entertainment, Music, Podcasts, Portable Audio / Video, Videocasts
Bowers and Wilkins has long been known for their stunning audiophile loudspeaker and home theater equipment so it's no surprise that their foray into the iPod/iPhone speaker dock territory is an impressive one. The new Zeppelin dock features a subwoofer and two midrange/tweeters all in a single compact unit. The odd football shape does indeed bring to mind it's airship namesake with a look that is sure to draw a second look for passers by. The downside - it's $600; or $200 more than you spent on the iPhone that goes in it.
In the video we show off the product, and even demonstrate how it handles an iPhone taking a call while in use. Amazingly, there is no GSM interference to be found. Definitely a plus.
Bleeding Edge TV 242: Voltaic Systems solar backpacks and bags
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Cell Phones, CES, CES 2008, Wearables, Features, Handhelds, Podcasts, Portable Audio / Video, Videocasts
Outback hikers and urban explorers alike are often faced with a common problem: how to grab some juice on the go for power-hungry devices. These new backpacks and soon to be briefcases offer a potential solution by pairing next generation solar cells with a battery to enable on the go charging. While the charging might be slow (all day to charge a laptop) it's certainly a great option in the face of an otherwise completely drained cell phone or laptop.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Cell Phones, CES, CES 2008, Features, Handhelds, Podcasts, Portable Audio / Video, Software, Videocasts
We chat with Neuros' Joe Born about what Neuros has in store in the near future and about their approach to making their media players open source. We also discuss how they're the only embedded media device company open sourcing their software for the devices and what that means to them. They've seen a great deal of tech community involvement and more from bringing their devices into open source. See the video, recorded from Showstoppers at CES 2008.

Home automation is becoming a big theme at consumer electronics trade shows like CES. Many companies have been promising the 'smart house' for years – a house that automatically anticipates and responds to its inhabitants wants and needs. HawkingTech was showing off some preliminary tech which could help hearken the days of the smart house with a variety of available now products – check out the video for a demonstration of what is to come.
Bleeding Edge TV 239: XtremeMac show us their latest Apple accessories
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Accessories, Apple, CES, CES 2008, Features, Podcasts, Portable Audio / Video, Videocasts
Typically we find that most manufacturer's who focus exclusively on Apple products choose Macworld over CES, since the two are scheduled to close together. That didn't stop iPhone, iPod, and other Mac products from being a reoccurring theme at CES. XtremeMac was there in force showing off a collection of iProduct accessories – check them out for the full skinny.
CES 2008 Video: ZPower silver-zinc battery power outshines the rest?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, CES, CES 2008, Design, Features, Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop, Podcasts, Science, Videocasts
While power technologies tend to be less glamourous than gadgets consumers shouldn't forget the impact and importance of having solid battery technologies in the slim and trim electronic toys and tools they buy. ZPower was pleased to show off their new Silver-Zinc batteries at CES – potentially a revolutionary new product. These new batteries can be interchanged with Lithium Ion batteries but offer more power for longer periods all while reducing the environmental impact. Available soon from a yet-to-be-named laptop manufacturer.
CES 2008 Video: Bug Labs on the Bug Base and Bug Platform
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Full Episodes, Gizmatic, Hack Attack, Cameras, CES, CES 2008, Design, Features, GPS, Handhelds, Internet, PC / Laptop, Podcasts, Videocasts
Think Lego Mindstorms meets Radio Shack. Bug Labs has been working on their Bug Base—a fully modifiable, open-source gadget building block system. The base itself includes specs similar to "a three-year-old laptop" but includes WiFi and Ethernet, USB and more. Once you have the base, you can add additional "modules," including LCD displays, GPS, cameras, motion sensors and tons more. Each of the modules will require you to program them using a software package similar to VisualStudio in appearance, but everything is open source. Bug Labs has about 80 different sensors on the roadmap right now and they're constantly interfacing with the community to come up with new ideas.
The concept has a lot of promise and some great tinkering cred. For the first 60 days, they're offering an early-adopter special with the base costing just $299 (down from $349) and modules ranging from $49-$119. Pre-orders began on January 21st and will ship by March.
Take a look at our video to see us get our hands on the base and its modules and to talk to Jeremy from Bug Labs about what's coming down the road and what's in store for Bug Labs.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Dino!
Facts about Dino
- Breed: Dachshund Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Dino's Info...
Dino is a 5 year old male Long Haired Miniature Dachshund. He is a smart and curious dog that would love to join your family. He is super sweet and loves attention. His tail is always wagging to be petted. He doesn't seem like much of a barker either. If you are interested in this little guy, be sure to come in and see him!
Our Adoptions Include:
Spay or Neuter
Age Appropriate Vaccinations
De worming
Heart worm test for dogs over 6 months
Lifetime ID tag
Puppy/Dog Packet & Training DVD
Other Pets at Humane Society of Northwest Indiana
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dino, a Gary Dachshund dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund for sale in Gary, or seeking a Dachshund dog from a breeder in Gary.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gary already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gary breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund breeders who help with Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gary paves the way for another one to be saved.

Cant Delete Folder After MSE Found Threat
MSE found a threat on my data drive, I chose to have it removed and it froze permanently. I tried to manually delete that folder but it just says "discovering items" and then nothing happens. No error messages...
I have tried going into safe mode to remove the folder without luck. I have even used a utility called DP Wiper to remove it and didn't work. I've googled this and haven't found anything on it. Most people have access / permissions problems with deleting a file / folder but this one doesn't have to do with that. Any help much appreciated! |

A "progressive" tax system is one that asks wealthier taxpayers to pay more of their income than poorer taxpayers. Most states rely upon some form of net income tax and some form of sales tax. Sales taxes tend to have flat rates and, therefore, are regressive. Income taxes tend to have brackets, with taxpayers with higher incomes are exposed to higher tax rates and are progressive.

Everything else may come and go – the heath food shop, the croissants, the crack dealers by the bookies, but one of the constants in Queen's Crescent was Donna's flowers.
And now Donna has died, aged just 48. Since she was a chirpy kid working her dad's stall, Donna's cheery cackle was the soundtrack of most market-goers' Saturday. Her flowers, her herbs and other plants were cheaper by far than Columbia Road or any garden centre. She was strong on star lilies, had an eye for a dahlia and a tulip, was great with 'mums – better than her dad.
I have come back from the crescent laden with armfuls of her cheery flowers more times than I dare remember, often forgetting in the excitement exactly how many vases I had. Donna was warm-hearted and quick-witted. She was loving and well-loved. Queen's Crescent has lost a little of its soul. RIP.

Face Masks Provide Chinese With False Hope Against Pollution
Soulskill posted about 10 months ago | from the breathable-air-is-a-crutch dept.
156Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes "Emily Sohn reports at Discovery Magazine that high levels of air pollution in Beijing, where levels of pollution have spiked above 750 micrograms per cubic meter, have caused a run on face masks as people look for ways to protect themselves from the smog. The capital is on its sixth day of an 'orange' smog alert — the second-highest on the scale — with the air tasting gritty and visibility down to a few hundred meters. But experts say that under the hazards they're facing, the masks are unlikely to help much. In fact, images of masked citizens navigating the streets of Beijing highlight the false confidence that people put in face masks in all sorts of situations, including flu outbreaks and operating rooms. For a step up in protection, consumers can buy a category of mask known technically as N95 respirators, which are generally available at hardware stores. N95 facemasks are often used in industrial workplace situations to protect against things like lead dust and welding fumes, and they are certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to trap 95 percent of particles sent through them in testing situations. But in order to work N95 respirators need to be professionally fitted to each person's individual face (PDF) to make sure there is a tight seal with no leaks. If they truly fit right, they are uncomfortable to wear."

Why Is This Being Built In China And Not The United States?
Remember when the United States was the country building world renowned landmarks like the Hoover Dam (1936), the Empire State Building (1931), the Golden Gate Bridge (1937), the Chrysler Building (1930) and the Willis Tower AKA Sears Tower (1973)?
Notice the dates.
We sure don't seem to be building 'em like we used to, do we?
Now, read this story and ask yourself a simple question: Why isn't this happening here instead of in China?
According to its engineers, this will be the tallest skyscraper in the world by the end of March of 2013. Its name is Sky City, and its 2,749 feet (838 meters) distributed in 220 floors will grow in just 90 days in Changsha city, by the Xiangjiang river. Ninety days!
It's not a joke. According to the construction company, the skyscraper will be built in just 90 days at the unbelievable rate of five floors per day.
It's hard to believe, but they claim the building has been designed by some of the engineers who previously worked at the Burj Khalifa. It is also the same firm that built a full 30-story hotel in 15 days–which yes, is still standing and in perfect working condition.Foundation work is beginning at the end of the month, once the Chinese authorities give the final go ahead to the project.
In 1969, we put a man on the moon. Today, we don't even have a manned spaced mission anymore. In 2001, the WTC was knocked down by Al-Qaeda and if all goes as planned, which is a very big if, the replacements will start to be completed in 2013 and will be finished in 2016.
Slowly, but surely, this country is losing its resilence, its capacity to innovate and its ability to create and the only thing we hear in response is happy talk or outrage that anyone would point out the truth. Until we admit that we have a problem and begin to start working on a solution, we are doomed to continue sliding backward.

As we march on with our offseason division exploration before general managers begin bidding on football humans, we come to a division with both lots of money and no money at all, and a team that will determine the direction of the draft.
Indianapolis Colts
Estimated cap room: $37.8
Draft slot: no first-round pick (still hate you, Trent)
End game: When you sacrifice a first-round pick to acquire a player, the assumption is that said player will be of the highest caliber. He'll be young, fast, and regardless of the position he plays, he'll be the sort of athletic machine rarely available through trade. Trent Richardson is only one of those things. The young part.
Although at the time the trade to pry Richardson from Cleveland was hailed as a glorious victory by Colts general manager Ryan Grigson, it's now a stain on what little there is of his legacy. Richardson averaged just three yards per carry throughout the season while being overtaken by Vick Ballard, and then under the bright playoff lights of January he was summarily dismissed and relegated to the sidelines, receiving only four carries over two games.
That trade and misfire is why any heavy offseason lifting the Colts aim to do while finding an immediate impact player will be restricted to free agency, as barring a trade Grigson isn't on the clock until the back half of the second round on Day 2 of the draft (59th overall). So with that lack of draft ammunition and a heavy pocket, Indianapolis will be a fine place to get paid starting this afternoon.
The need for a middle linebacker with Pat Angerer departing was already addressed by overpaying for D'Qwell Jackson. Now in a passing league where guys who prevent completed passes are rather important, either retaining Vontae Davis or finding at worst his equivalent in free agency is the next priority. The contracts given to Sam Shields and Brent Grimes have quickly inflated the top of the cornerback market, and despite their cap room Davis' figure may quickly exceed what Grigson is willing to sensibly spend.
Reports yesterday afternoon indicated that Davis, a highly coveted 25-year-old who fits the description of the new taller breed of cornerback at nearly 6′o", likely won't re-sign in Indy. Right away the common guess was that after ridding themselves of Antonio Cromartie and Santonio Holmes to create their own mountain of cap space, the Jets are throwing around those riches to fill a clear need with young blood.
Grigson could then turn his attention to Alterraun Verner, Aqib Talib, or Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. On the exact opposite side of the ball, there's also a need at wide receiver because as timeless as he seems, Reggie Wayne can't reverse the aging process. He's coming off an ACL tear and entering the final year of his contract, and another weapon to pair with both him and T.Y. Hilton would take the Colts offense to a whole different level of scary. That puts Grigson among the leaders to overpay for Eric Decker, though given their aforementioned cap space and even greater need at the position, he'll again face a strong push from the Jets.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Estimated cap room: $57.8 million
Draft slot: 3rd
End game: This is a time of transition for the Jaguars. But really, what time isn't a time of transition for the Jaguars? There's reason to believe this could be the start of the last transition, though, or at least something better than every other transition.
Maurice Jones-Drew is about to move on, and at the not at all ripe age of 29 after a career low 3.4 yards per carry in 2013 (his overall career average is much higher at 4.5), little thought needed to be put into letting him walk. But although running backs are treated like those relic throwaway camera things that yell tourist, you still need someone to run the ball on occasion, and the current combination of Denard Robinson and Jordan Todman doesn't fill the heart with much confidence.
That's why with their girth of cash the Jags will likely be in play for a cheap backfield option, one that hasn't faced nearly as much abuse. LeGarrette Blount and Toby Gerhart both meet that description.
Beyond that, you name it and the Jaguars need to buy it. An improved interior offensive line is a priority, which is why Zane Beadles could be targeted. But at 379.4 the Jags have a defense that gave up the fifth most yards per game while allowing 28.1 points. Of all the defensive needs, a swift upgrade of their pass rush is the most glaring after only 31 sacks. That's why the Jaguars can be expected to bid hard for Michael Johnson and LaMarr Houston, the two remaining premier young pass rushers on the market.
And those bids will ultimately fail, because given the history of losing in Jacksonville their money can't speak loud enough. That's why a difficult decision could be coming in May.
If the Texans pass on Jadeveon Clowney he'll fall to Jacksonville at No. 3, since defensive end isn't at all a need for St. Louis. He should be the Jaguars' pick at that point to solve their pass rush woe, but not without some thought. Some long, hard thought on the quarterback position, as re-signing Chad Henne was little more than a safety net, and Blaine Gabbert is well into his bust doom.
Clowney provides an immediate solution to the most pressing defensive problem, but the problem of winning won't be addressed until there's a franchise quarterback. At least two and possibly three of the arms who can do that will be available at No. 3, and if they bite on Clowney without leveraging him to trade down (a very real possibility…hi, Falcons), there's a steep fall from the Manziels and Bridgewaters in the first round, to A.J. McCarron and Jimmy Garoppolo in the second.
Tennessee Titans
Estimated cap room: $8 million
Draft slot: 11th
End game: Cutting Chris Johnson has to happen here. With that minimal cap room (the fifth lowest in the league) that's already going to result in the loss of Alterraun Verner, there's just no other option. Johnson is still fast, and he sporadically does head-turning things. But he turns 29 shortly after next season starts, he's registered 2,014 career touches, and most devastatingly, he's due $8 million over each of the next two seasons.
That's a death anchor at the running back position, especially for an offense with promising youth split out wide between Jason Hunter and Kendall Wright, and one that was just significantly upgraded along the offensive line a year ago between Andy Levitre and Chance Warmack. That extra cash provided by cutting Johnson could be used to replace Verner, who had five interceptions and 22 passes defensed, while allowing a tiny 55.8 passer rating against.
As it stands there's no money available to find someone who's even half of what Verner is, and really nothing in the bank to purchase a commodity of remote significance until Johnson is cut. That's why on May 8 the Titans will join the many cornerback hungry teams in the early rounds, the difference being their 11th overall slot is far more favorable to land a top prospect at the position. It's likely they get to choose between Jason Gilbert and Darqueze Dennard.
Houston Texans
Estimated cap room: $9.3
Draft slot: 1st
End game: While the Jaguars above have a collection of deep, dark holes and quarterback is among them, the Texans are the model of a team that feels like they're a pivot away from returning to playoff contention with stability at the most important offensive position. Or at the very least they'll make a dramatic improvement after a two-win season that saw Matt Schaub get great enjoyment from throwing pick sixes.
That's the easy argument in support of taking really awesome Quarterback X with the first overall pick (likely either Blake Bortles or Teddy Bridgewater), and it's fueled by an offense with Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins in place, and a healthy Arian Foster with plenty of time to recover after his November back surgery can still be an effective Arian Foster. There isn't much money available, but enough is in GM Rick Smith's bedside piggy bank to add yet another piece to that receiving corps and plug in Julian Edelman to do his shifty slot thing.
The defense, powered by the league's best pass rusher in J.J. Watt, allowed just 317.6 yards per game (seventh) can expect minimal free agency losses. But despite that defensive efficiency during an otherwise dreadful season, the quarterback at No. 1 overall counterargument needs only a name: Jadeveon Clowney.
Pairing him with Watt should be illegal, and Clowney has more than enough speed and athleticism to stand up and play as an outside linebacker in the 3-4 if needed. More likely and ideally, he'd be plugged in up front where Antonio Smith is departing. Combined with Watt's strength and swatting, Clowney's edge speed (reminder you don't need: he ran a 4.53 in the 40-yard dash at the Combine) and vertical explosiveness will shrink the pocket fast.
All of that is tremendous. But when Clowney is on the sideline he would then be watching either Schaub play quarterback (shivers), or a second-rounder who isn't ready yet. And still the great work of a great defensive will be undone repeatedly.

The twin standoffs come amid a sudden increase in the number of asylum-seekers heading to Australia, often in rickety boats after having paid unscrupulous "people-smugglers." And they are proving a serious test for Rudd's government, which is facing criticism across the political spectrum for either opening the door to human smuggling or shirking responsibility on a humanitarian issue.
'Indonesian solution' on 'boat people'
The Rudd government sees Indonesia, the main transit point for the voyage to Australia, as the key to tackling the problem. Last week, the sprawling archipelago to Australia's north agreed to play a bigger part in intercepting and accommodating "boat people" in exchange for fina0ncial assistance reported to amount to tens of millions of dollars.
The Australian media is calling it the "Indonesian Solution": a reference to the so-called "Pacific Solution," which Howard thought up to resolve the Tampa crisis. The Tampa's mainly Afghan passengers, along with successive boatloads of would-be migrants, were shipped to the impoverished Pacific nations of Papua New Guinea and Nauru, where they were processed by United Nations refugee officials, without access to the Australian legal system.
One of Rudd's first acts after being elected two years ago was to scrap the widely reviled "Pacific Solution," together with certain other hard-line policies, including "temporary protection visas," which entitled refugees to remain in Australia for only three years.

Letter: Thanks to the angels in Craig
Saturday, May 5, 2012
To the editor:
Our family would like to share with the community how our lives in the last two weeks have been touched by angels who live right here in our quiet little town.
Our mother, Kathy Parsons-Gallagher, died April 23 from colon cancer. We brought her home on Hospice care April 13.
The next day, Calvary Baptist Church started bringing food every day, and they fed our family for 10 days. Deacons and church members came by every day to read the Bible to our mother and pray with her.
This meant so much to her and we believe helped her find peace with God and her death. We are very honored to be a part of such a wonderful gracious church as Calvary Baptist.
The wonderful teachers at Eagles Nest Preschool brought food and did some grocery shopping for us. These ladies are wonderful and truly strive every day to follow God's word.
Also, some very special friends of our family brought food, hugs and support. My mom loved each and every one of you as her own children.
We would also like to thank the staff at Hospice and Grant Mortuary that helped our mom and family through this difficult time.
Again, thanks to the angels of Craig.
Valerie Boulger and family

I'm sorry for the loss of your mother.I personally did not know her, but your letter beautifully conveys the love you had not only for her, but for our community and are there for us when we need help overcoming such a event.
Your Mom obviously did a sincerely, warm, thoughtful up-bringing of you, judging from your letter. I hope you celebrate her life, your memories together and treasure the sacredness of having her angel wings wrapped around you and your family. I'm sure she is proud. My best to you.

10 Best IT Products Of 2006
Re:Vista? (223 comments)
I think what bugs me most about Vista being, supposedly, the number one OS is that simply because of the article writers ignorance about whats out there, products such as Ubuntu Linux (which quite frankly have come on leaps and bounds), a product which they will post to YOU for free of charge, doesn't even get a mention.
How can Microsoft be cheered for releasing a product so late, so devoid of promised features, and so much worse than its predecessor? My experience with Vista RTM (obtained through volume licensing at work I might add) has been truely dire.. it lasted all of a week on my PC before I came crawling back to the reliablity of Windows XP!
What a joke.

I also had a feeling that page-one didn't fully understand that the blame for the mortgage crisis is not a toss-up between borrowers and the financial services industry.
But even if the true leders—well-developed feature stories—had been reduced to one a day, from two, the strong ones and fun ones and core ones to me seemed to appear as least as frequently as before the simultaneous Brauchli/News Corp. takeover, and the dreary duds were no more frequent.
But Brauchli's exit is a bit like the boy taking his finger out of the dike.
With Brauchli gone, the Journal newsroom loses not just a topflight editor and bureau chief, a great Asia hand, and someone who was a real, live reporter, one who displayed sophistication (1), prescience (2) and conscience (3). It also loses a surprisingly savvy internal diplomat who, I thought, might just have been adroit enough to manage the inevitable tensions that would arise from the takeover, at least enough to preserve some of the Journal's great journalistic heritage.
I don't think the dike is going to hold.
I'll have more on what I think is coming in another post. And, no, it's not good that Murdoch is buying Newsday either, for some of the same reasons I'll get to.

The Best Howlin' Good Pet Friendly Hotels
Pet owners who wanted Fido or Fluffy to accompany them while traveling formerly had to settled for dedicated rooms that weren't necessarily the best and sometimes just be tolerated by the hotel staff.
Those days are long gone. Many hoteliers recognize people who travel with their pets want their 4-legged companions just as comfy.
MainStreet came up with 10 of the most luxurious and accommodating hotels for pets.

SAKS' GIANT DAY: Saks Fifth Avenue honored Angie Harmon and her husband, Jason Sehorn, with the Champions for Children Award at its 20th annual Colleagues Spring Luncheon last Wednesday at the Beverly Wilshire. Nancy Reagan pal Betsy Bloomingdale eschewed the long line at valet and parked on the street, weaving through the cars idling in the hotel's driveway. Meanwhile, part of the traffic snarl was caused by the arrival of Reagan's burgundy limo, for which all other cars were halted. "It's just beyond surreal," Harmon said of taking the former first lady by the hand and leading her through the crowded VIP cocktail reception. "Jason and I were in grade school when she was in the White House so to us, she's like the first first lady." Sehorn, the former NFL star, is rarely seen with his party-loving wife at events about town. "She's the social butterfly. I prefer to pick and choose," he said. "For example, the Jimmy Choo party...I thought I could pass." Sehorn did see a familiar face in Kate Mara, who met him when he played for the team then-owned by her late grandfather, the New York Giants. "I must admit, I came here because I wanted to see the entire Oscar de la Renta collection," Mara said (the house presented its fall collection during lunch, and outfitted both Mara and Harmon), "but it's always nice to see Giants players as well."
A GROWING CLAN: Carolina Herrera Jr., who is her mother's senior fragrance adviser and occasional ad face, is expecting her third child with husband Miguel Baez, a retired bullfighter, according to the Spanish weekly Hola. The Baezes split their time between Madrid (they're often spotted on Serrano, the capital's main shopping thoroughfare, with their two children — Olimpia de la Concepcíon, age 3, and almost 2-year-old Miguel Jr. — and the family dog) and Litri's bull ranch in Spain's western province of Cáceres, where the couple married four years ago.
NY-LON: New Bond Street may represent the very essence of London shopping, but on Thursday it took on a bit of New York flair. DKNY Jeans celebrated the launch of its first European flagship with Cosmopolitans, "Big Apple" cookies, and mini-hotdogs and burgers. The crowd, by contrast, had a distinctly British feel, with young acting talents on hand including Benedict Cumberbatch, Nathalie Press, Talulah Riley and Anna Popplewell, who stars in the "Narnia" trilogy. London band The Paddingtons entertained the crowd.

#1 You aren't supposed to call out players on the forums #2 You name four players and say they travel in a group, so you are obviously talking about a normal game. #3 You will probably never see them again and it was a normal game, get over it and move on #4 If you are truly upset about it, try making a support ticket.
Fine, what do I care? I'm just trying to make the gaming atmosphere better for everyone. Nobody gives a ****, delete this thread.

Lol, sometimes someone just presses surrender and people are like, well, **** it it's worth it so I can see the looks on their digital faces right after I let them win after I took baron. Some people are just kind and crazy at the same time, let it go. Don't call people out on the forums too often, I get this feeling it'll get you yelled at.

What about "love handles"? Should they be referred to as "love grips"?
I just looked at a package that had Houge Monogrip in it. On the package it said "revolver stocks" What is really funny is the person that put up the schematics called them a "pic" and said he would prefer to use proper terminology in the same post.

Bon Iver: Bon Iver (2011)
Trading the intimate "folk music pity party in a log cabin" feel of debut album For Emma, Forever Ago in favour of a more expansive, ambitious sound, Justin Vernon's second album as Bon Iver flirts with R&B-style crooning, country hoedowns and, at one point, Bruce Hornsby and the Range-esque MOR (well, that's what it takes to win a Grammy as an indie artist these days). But there's beauty throughout: Vernon's multi-tracked voice and his band's rich instrumentation evoke the icy northern reaches of America just as deftly as For Emma did – but in a far grander way. There are landscapes conjured by this record, and they are vast.
Standout tracks: "Holocene", "Towers"
R.E.M.: Automatic for the People (1992)
R.E.M. were no strangers to chart success by the time they released Automatic for the People, but this was the album that cemented the Athens, Georgia natives as the mainstream's favourite alternative rock band. And you can't say they got there by continuing down the jangly, upbeat pop furrow they'd ploughed with earlier songs like Shiny Happy People: Automatic features only three tracks that move above mid-tempo (two of which became singles) and for the most part, it's a sombre, ballad-dominated affair. It might be a dark journey, but it's also musically irresistible thanks to the lush arrangements, in which organs and strings feature prominently.
The album is available in the Hi-Res DVD-Audio format.
Standout tracks: "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite", "Everybody Hurts", "Man On The Moon"
More after the break...
Dusty Springfield: Dusty in Memphis (1969)
In an attempt to boost her musical credibility, British swinging sixties icon Dusty Springfield decided to make an album of soul songs – and record it in a city forever associated with the origins of soul and blues. The result was Dusty In Memphis, a record that didn't make many waves when it was released but has since been recognised as one of the best releases of the 1960s – or any decade. The tracks are arranged and recorded with a rare perfectionism (Springfield ended up re-recording all her vocals in New York because she was unhappy with the Memphis takes) and the songs hit a sweet spot between soul and pop that suggests Dusty was way ahead of her time.
Standout tracks: "Son of a Preacher Man", "Breakfast In Bed", "The Windmills of Your Mind"
Burial: Untrue (2007)
Believe it or not there was a time when dubstep wasn't the sound of adverts for energy drinks. These days Burial's Untrue is barely recognisable as dubstep: there's no pumped-up euphoric drops and it barely hints at the wriggling 'wub wub' bass that was to come. Play "Etched Headplate" in most clubs and the only way you'd empty the dancefloor quicker would be to release a wolf onto it. That's because Untrue isn't a record for dancefloors; it's a record about the lonely, 3am bus ride home, or the feeling of unease you get when walking alone late at night. While Untrue is not an album with any daylight in it, it's a long way from The Dark Side of the Moon. You don't listen to it to appreciate the stereo image of your expensive hi-fi, you listen to it for its heavily textured yet spacious tunes, and samples that sound like coins or bullet casings falling to the cold pavement. [TW]
Standout tracks: "Archangel", "Near Dark", "Untrue"
The Flaming Lips – The Soft Bulletin (1999)
Boom! Boom! Crash! Boom! Subwoofers at the ready – it's a Flaming Lips album… Although actually, The Soft Bulletin isn't just a Flaming Lips album, it's THE Flaming Lips album, the high-point of a career now spanning 31 years and 14 albums. It's also the finest moment in the career of producer Dave Fridmann, a man regarded as the indie-rock Phil Spector (but without the murder) and whose CV also takes in such classics as Weezer's Pinkerton and Mogwai's Come On Die Young. Fridmann ramps up the percussion on The Soft Bulletin, turning drums and cymbals into weapons of mass destruction. But if the sound's big, the songs are bigger still – from string-drenched opener "Race For The Prize" to the searingly honest "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate", it's a work of musical and lyrical genius. [MM]
Standout tracks: "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate", "Race For The Prize"

Describing the Brain in Autism in Five Dimensions-Magnetic Resonance Imaging Assisted Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder Using a Multiparameter Classification Approach
Journal of Neuroscience, Ecker et al
Year Published:
The study tested a group of 20 high functioning adults with autism, together with 20 control adults, to determine whether MRI scans can detect autism. Using left hemisphere cortical thickness, the algorithm could achieve 90% accuracy, however the right hemisphere was worse at differentiating between the two groups. The study shows that it is feasible to use analytic techniques in MRI to investigate differences in the autistic brain.

Although Catskills cuisine used to be a misnomer, regional restaurants are changing their reputations, largely thanks to the nearby Culinary Institute of America in the Hudson Valley's Hyde Park. After graduation, many CIA students settle in the area and work in Catskills restaurants—or open their own. Combined with a movement to use fresh, local produce and farm products, the result is a plethora
of superb dining choices. Most of the best restaurants are in the towns that draw New York City money—Windham, Woodstock, and Hunter—but smaller, more remote towns and villages also contain pleasant surprises. Dining in the region remains a casual experience, and few people dress for dinner.
The top 25 places we think should be on every traveler's radar this year.

I stay in hotels all the time sometimes with kids and sometimes without, this hotel is all about big volume. They don't accommodate families.
Throughout the staff in the hotel there was no customer support, we felt like all they cared about is big tourist groups
Spacious accommodations. Couch, kitchen area, desktop. Great location. Access to a professional gym within walking distance (0.7 mile).
While room was clean, maintenance work was shoddy: a/c filter was clogged and closet sliders improperly installed. Both corrected after filing complaint. Toilet bowl is made for midgets. A/C vent blew too hard on bed; I closed with a screwdriver.
We had two adults and two kids traveling so the two beds meant nobody had to sleep on the floor.
The pull out couch was not very comfy.
Old too expensive for how the room is and dirty. Bed was horrible and hard.
Entrance at night. It looked romantic at first with the lack of light.
Everything else. This place was a rat hole. Not the most welcoming staff. Walking down the hallway where we encountered a pile of dishes next to the laundry room. Dark and suspicious people walking around. Upon entering the room the foul smell in the room was unbearable! We checked out asap!
Liked the location
No noise insulation between room and hall way
1. Warm welcome by (Hotel employee), explaining in detail hotel amenities. She was helful in making a reservation for my brother in law, Mr. Danesh. 2. The cookies, definitely, a plus!3. Breakfast as expected.4. The room was cleaned.5. Washer/Dryer-helped
1. Some room cleaner were not friendly when just asked to change the set of towel, provide shampoo and soap.2. Ground toilets were not at its best (clean) in different times.3. The whirlpool, was not clean, lacked daily maintenance so the pool.
We were assigned a handicapped room, which wasn't what we expected. The mattress was uncomfortable.
The room, it was very clean and roomy.
I had requested 2 double beds I each room but was forced to take a king in one of them
I liked the rooms had king size beds with sofa beds available. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Check out was at noon so that was great! Overall it was great stay with no issues at all.
My only complaint and it's very small was upon arrival at check in I had to wait while the front desk was explaining some procedure to another employee. I guess whatever he had to tell her couldn't wait, but i would have appreciated being checked in first and have the employee wait instead. Again not a big deal but worth mentioning.
Plus, the hotel is perfectly set up for business travelers. The kiosk for printing out airline boarding passes in under 1 minute was fabulous. The little "store" which stocks goodies to munch, toiletries one may have forgotten, and the bar/restaurant that is very accessible is one of the best things about this hotel. Rooms are nicely set up as well. would highly recommend it for business travelers.
quite, peaceful
Great location & solid WiFi! (Hotel Employee) & staff were very nice & attentive. Even threw party for guests during local parade. Hotel 1 block from beach & boardwalk with restaurants & bars in short walking distance. Washer &
Everything was at the very least acceptable.

We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

The 5A conference is compiling girls volleyball power ratings on a trial basis this season.
With three weeks of the season completed, and most teams having participated in at least one tournament so far, the top 15 teams through Tuesday's play have been determined.
Seven of the 15 are local schools, with Desert Mountain topping the list at No. 4.
Here are the ratings: 1. Tucson Salpointe; 2. Phoenix Xavier; 3. Glendale Ironwood; 4. Desert Mountain; 5. Glendale Mountain Ridge; 6. Gilbert; 7. Desert Vista; 8. Corona del Sol; 9. Horizon; 10. Kingman; 11. Westwood; 12. Chandler; 13. Tucson Canyon del Oro; 14. Phoenix St. Mary's; 15. Avondale Westview.
Back to form: After losing its opening match of the season to Prescott, Cactus Shadows has regained its form from last year, when the Falcons won the 4A state championship.
Coach Karen Sitkiewitz had four players from that championship team return and has been able to use that inherited confidence for the quick start, including going undefeated at last weekend's Paradise Valley Invitational.
"I was pretty happy overall with the level of play and our team chemistry is developing," Sitkiewitz said.
Junior Rachel Oligmueller was named the tournament's MVP. Last season, the 5-foot-9 outside hitter had 330 kills and 306 digs.
Basha growing up: Despite not having a senior on the roster, Basha won its first two varsity matches by defeating 5A Hamilton and Willow Creek.
"Hamilton was a big game for us, even though they weren't what I expected them to be," coach Preslie Agostine said. "I know our administration was happy."
The Bears were brought back to earth though, losing in straight games to Chaparral, a loss that should help Basha in the long run. The loss was only the third in three seasons for the group, which has been playing together since its freshman year.
"It brought them to a new level to what they need to work on," Agostine said. "We're just hoping to improve every game and it's a learning year."
Basha, led by juniors Katie Ponseness and Pashay Sorensen, should finish somewhere in the middle of the pack in the East Sky Region before moving on to the 5A level next year.
Higley places high: When Jennifer Burks looked at the standings for the 2003 Chandler Invitational, she could only think, "Why not us? "
The Higley girls cross country coach felt her squad had a pretty good chance of finishing in the top 10 of this year's Chandler event. Not only did the Knights finish in the top 10, they took a trophy home with a second-place finish behind 3A rival Seton Catholic.
The Chandler Invitational's scoring system rewards program depth, and though they didn't have any runners in the top five of any of the grade-level races, the top Knight runner finished no worse than 10th in any race.
Sophomore Brandie Baier was sixth, junior Ashley Jensen was seventh, senior Jessica Medina took eighth and freshman Samantha Roberts was 10th to score for Higley.
The Knights will be at the Fountain Hills Invitational on Saturday. Higley took second at last year's Fountain Hills event.
Highland on a roll: It wasn't enough to topple Desert Vista in the uniquely scored Chandler Invitational, but Highland's effort in the senior boys race should bode well for the Hawks.
Highland finished third Saturday, but led by winner Craig Breinholt, the Hawks took four of the top 12 spots in the senior race. Mike Smith, Ryan Hummel and Matt Tofft all came in within 1:20 of Breinholt's time. "I think we look strong," Breinholt said.
Honored: The Arizona Cardinals have named Mountain View coach Tom Joseph as the high school coach of the week. Red Mountain High running back/defensive back Channing Trotter was named this week's player of the week. Joseph and his Toros held off the Gilbert Tigers for a 17-0 victory Friday. Trotter had 25 carries for 220 yards and one touchdown in a 17-13 victory over Mountain Pointe. Trotter also made an interception.
Versatile Firebird: Chaparral's Lauren Cox is already having a big senior season. In the first meet of the year, she lowered her 200 freestyle time by two seconds, falling just under the All-American standard. She placed third in the event at the state meet a year ago, but her time now would be good enough for second, and the defending champ has moved out of state. Cox is planning to make recruiting visits to Ohio State, Tennessee and Miami (Ohio) this fall. Cox's sister Sarah, a freshman, is already competitive in the 100 backstroke and the 200 intermediate medley.
GOLF Thunder roll: The Desert Vista girls continued to roll last week, as they defeated Gilbert, Phoenix St. Mary's, Peoria Sunrise Mountain and Hamilton. Junior Brittany Stewart played a key role, shooting a 2-under-par 33 at the difficult Arizona Legends Golf Course. Stewart's consistent play helped to improve Desert Vista's record to 3-0.

Some years ago I was listening to a radio program where they mentioned some company in Australia(?) planning to dismantle the urban POTS and replace it with something newer. But the reasoning wasn't just for upgrading: It was because they couldn't get the parts anymore.
Some of the manufacturers had stopped making the relays and whatnot that the POTS used, so the options were to convert to a new set of POTS hardware (an expensive Red Queen's race), get a huge order of compatible components custom-made (ditto), or upgrade-and-cannibalize the urban network to get them enough parts to maintain the rural POTS for another couple of decades and hope the entire system could be upgraded before they emptied their supply.
