Bike Repair Station Arrives At Union Station
by Thomas MacMillan | Jun 16, 2014 2:44 pm

Posted to: Transportation, Downtown
Cyclists with a screw loose have a new way to get the help they need.
They'll find that help attached to a cable outside the train station on Union Avenue. The station's bike-parking area now has a bike-repair station, equipped with wrenches and screwdrivers and even a bike pump.
The bike-repair stand is one of a couple new amenities for cyclists at the station, along with 10 new bike-storage lockers. Another bike-repair stand is on its way to the corner of Temple and George, said David Panagore, acting head of the New Haven Parking Authority. (The Devil's Gear bike shop also offers public-access tools during business hours in Pitkin Plaza.)
Panagore (pictured) announced that news Monday morning at an open house for the authority's new and improved downtown office, at the same corner.
As part of an effort to make the authority more accessible, the organization has transferred staff from its second-floor Union Station office to the downtown location.
Previously, only one person worked out of the Temple and George office, Panagore said. Now it contains managers for security and operations, and a freshly built "customer service counter." That means people can have their questions answered without having to search out the authority offices hidden away in Union Station.
The authority still has staff at its Union Station office, like people in charge of construction, and other projects that aren't outward-facing.
Panagore said the authority recently made a change to its management structure, assigning one manager to each garage rather than having several managers who share responsibility for multiple garages. The previous system meant that managers wouldn't pay attention to details like gum on the the floors. Now they're on top of it, Panagore said.
Panagore said the authority is planning to install bike racks and a bike-repair station at the southeast corner of Temple and George. Union Station's bike-repair stand appeared two months ago. It features a variety of tools for basic bike repairs, as well as a stand to hold your bike while you work on it. The stand also has a sticker with a QR code linking people to a site with basic bike-repair instructions.
More recently, the station installed 10 bike-storage lockers behind the bike-parking area. Panagore said these will be free to use; people have to pay only a deposit for a key. The lockers are designed for cyclists who want a more secure or sheltered option for storing their bikes when they take a train.

I truly love this. However, as a female executive, there is no way I could ever ride my bike to the train, in my professional attire, lugging my bag, and arrive at my job looking presentable. But good effort.
The train station should also look to make a few easy tweaks to accommodate the commuters who drive, because it feels like they do everything they can to alienate us.
1) Move the ticket machines to an area closer to the parking garage
2) Enable the screens at each track so that I don't have to walk through the station to figure out on which track to find my train

How come the people have to pay to park and the bikers do not.Also how about those of us who ride motorcycles like myself and other who ride mopeds.Where is the repair station for us. Looks like the bikers are taking over.
posted by: TheMadcap on June 16, 2014 7:32pm
I don't see anyone stopping from someone on a moped from using the tools. Also a repair station for a car/motorcycle would take more than a few screwdrivers and ratchets. Also the whole gas thing.

Threefifths—The reason bikers don't have to pay is because government wants to create an incentive to move away from automobile-based transport, which is expensive for our society—in terms of the need for oil, road upkeep, regulation, dangerous for drivers, etc.
Bicycles don't pollute or generally cause traffic jams, etc., so for instance, if most people biked instead of drove, the city would spend less money on road maintenance, building garages, etc., and would still end up ahead on revenue.

kudos to Park NH for trying to pick up some of the slack that Metro North has a surplus of. I took my bike to and from NYC this weekend and one of the conductors asked me if I've seen any(or either?) of the bike hooks on the trains and wanted to know if I knew anything about their progress. It used to be the other way around, until I gave up on the hope that Metro North would make good on that initiative. On the way home there were five bicycles on my train car alone. 3/5ths, if you cant beat 'em…

NHV Greenie, you totally can do it! I bike to work in professional attire; it can be done! I have an old British upright bicycle with a chain case, so it's clean and easy. You can always keep a change of clothes at work too; I've done that before as well.
But good news about the ticket machines; they now have park-and-pay machines right by the elevators, so you pass right by them coming and going. Very convenient for drivers!
I agree with you about the train arrival/departure software; it would be great if they could get that up and running. They've got the screens in place, they just need to get the rest of it working.
3/5, come on, what do you have against bicyclists? We take up a lot less space; space = money. We're not using the resources that cars are in terms of parking (space) or wear and tear on the garage; it's logical to provide a small space for bicyclists. If nothing else, it frees up more spaces for cars.

I disagree that you "always have to have cars." With the right urban planning and infrastructure, you don't. Look at major cities in Europe where many, many residents do not use cars—year round and in lots of snow, rain, etc. Look at Amsterdam, look at Copenhagen as just two examples. It can be done and it is done. Heck, even I bike nearly every day of the year. The only exception would be when even my car can't get onto the u-nplowed streets, and then pretty much everyone is snowbound until the plows get through. It really can be done, I promise. Obviously it's a personal decision and I don't fault people for their choice of transportation, but I don't think it's accurate to make a blanket statement about always needing cars.

My guess would be that the ticket machines mentioned in the original comment are the Metro North RR machines, which are bizarrely placed at the opposite end of the main station room away from the stairs leading to the tracks. They should place some additional machines at the other end of the room near the stairs and in the lower level at the start of the tunnel. As much as I love NHV Union Station, I've been happy to avoid its issues by using the new West Haven Station. If the latter station was open later than 6 PM, it would be close to 100% replacement for NHV.

Aparently my cousin Jack (who I mistook for a mute) is quite the perceptive guy. So perceptive, in fact, that with only a few well-placed inquiries into my father's involvement with the Boy Scouts, he was able to figure out that I'm gay. I'm not sure exactly what he said, since Dad was a tad intoxicated at the time, but apparently something tipped him off.
Also, my admiration for Portia de Rossi may have alerted my cousins Isaac and Mira...
Anyway, it seems that my cover is pretty much blown. Now I'll just have to sit back and watch what happens.
Portia de Rossi is absolutely gorgeous. One of my very very few celebrity crushes, if not my only one. Ellen is one lucky lady.
Don't be too worried. I'm sure things will turn out fine. It could be that nothing happens, since your dad was sloshed when your cousin told him.
Gotta agree. lol. as far as being found out, I wouldn't be too worried about it. if that many know, or suspect it, and they were cool w/ discussing gays in the boys scouts, as it sounds like they were, there may be hope yet.
Mental wounds not healing, driving me insane, i'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train- the ozzman
& portia is really hot, but I was talking about admiring her from a "she's my rolemodel" perspective. After all, she is a blonde, rich, successful actress who does charity work for animal rights...and, y'know, she's a lesbian. so yeah. But she is hot. If only I were about 10 years older...;)
The ducks will get you!
Looks like an average women to me. Nothing remarkable about her appearance.
if you were a lesbian you'd understand
The ducks will get you!

9-10-13 Federal inmate sentenced for assault on prison staff
Latest Headlines Tuesday, September 10th, 2013 Would you like to receive e-mail alerts when we have breaking news? Click here!CLARKSBURG — United States Attorney William J. lhlenfeld II announced that a federal prisoner will serve an additional 20 years of time as a result of his attack on officials at a prison in Preston County, West Virginia.
A former inmate at the United States Penitentiary in Hazelton has been sentenced to 240 months imprisonment to run consecutive to the 300-month sentence he is currently serving.
Tarvis Leviticus Dunham, 42, was convicted on Jan. 29, 2013, after a 6-day trial on one count of "obstructing justice by retaliating against a witness," and 5 counts of "assaulting, resisting and impeding certain officers or employees of the Bureau of Prisons."
Trial evidence indicated that in 2011 Dunham attempted to retaliate against a case manager for producing a record and document during disciplinary proceedings conducted by the Bureau of Prisons relating to an incident that occurred the year before. Dunham forcibly assaulted the case manager and when other correctional officers attempted to restrain Dunham, he forcibly assaulted them by kicking and biting them. He also refused to comply with their orders before they were able to restrain and handcuff him. Dunham was transferred to another United States Penitentiary that same day. A week after the incident, the staff at USP Lee recorded a telephone call between Dunham and his mother where Dunham told his mother that he "about near killed that woman."
This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Brandon S. Flower and was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Special Investigative Services Unit at USP Hazelton.

How to Samba
Three Methods:Begin the SambaDance Steps for the LeaderDance Steps for the Follower
Although Samba is known as a Brazilian dance, its origins are African and it was brought to South America by slaves as part of their religious worship. When slaveholders demanded that they practice Christianity, the slaves disguised their ritual dances to preserve their native religion. Although the basic step is simple, it allows for great variation. The Samba is known for the wildly swinging hips of the dancers, called the samba bounce.
Method 1 of 3: Begin the Samba
1Assume the initial position with your partner. The leader, usually a man, places his right hand high on the back of the follower, often a woman, and holds her right hand high in his left. The follower places her left arm along the leader's arm, resting her hand on his shoulder.Ad
2Count your steps this way: 1-ah-2, 2-ah-2, etc., so you take three steps in two beats.
- Samba music is in 2/4 time at a tempo of about 100 beats per minute.
- Count out the steps in sets of 8, remembering that the leader always begins a set by stepping with the left foot and the follower always begins with a step on the right foot.
Method 2 of 3: Dance Steps for the Leader
1Step forward on your left foot (1) then bring your right foot forward next to it. Don't put your weight on your right foot.
2Shift your weight to your right foot (ah) and back to the left foot quickly (2). Let your hips bounce right and left while keeping your upper body still.
3Step backward on your right foot (2), bring your left foot back next to it and shift your weight from left (ah) to right (2).
4Practice the steps until they become automatic so you can learn more advanced steps. It's often helpful to play samba music even when you aren't dancing to get used to the rhythm.
5Add advanced moves such the quarter turn, reverse, side, whisk and walk to the basic steps when you become comfortable. Verbally cue your partner to these moves before performing them so she will be ready to follow. Remember that as in most dances, the purpose is to "show off" your partner.
Method 3 of 3: Dance Steps for the Follower
1Step backward on your right foot (1), then bring your left foot back next to it. Don't put your weight on your left foot.
2Shift your weight to your left foot (ah) and back to the right foot quickly (2). Let your hips bounce left and right while keeping your upper body still.
3Step forward on your left foot (2), bring your right foot forward next to it and shift your weight from right (ah) to left (2).
4Play samba music as often as you can and dance by yourself until the steps become automatic. Practice stepping to either side, moving forward or backward or turning while you maintain the step pattern.
5Follow your partner in advanced moves such as the quarter turn, reverse, side, whisk and walk. It's the job of the leader to tell you what he wants to do and to make sure there's room to dance without running into other dancers.Ad
We could really use your help!

- There are many forms of Samba, including Carnival, Conga, Reggae, Rock and Ballroom. Many are solo dances, but Ballroom Samba is a partner dance similar to the waltz.

According to the geeks at Wired Magazine this week, it's technolust that spurred the housing boom. It seems wiring that 1920s bungalow to support the plethora of new-fangled doodads is just too much work so people are "looking for something cheaper, bigger, gadgetier, or merely free of other people's cooties, [and] builders responded to that new demand. They built lots of homes and packed them with every new gewgaw a potential buyer might dream of." According to Wired's data, 74 percent of buyers want new construction.
Sitting on most of Seattle's best real estate are plenty of tired homes and an innovative architect could find ways to make new technology work in the bones of old construction. Most basements I've seen have plenty of room for a server rack and if you're going to pull down lath and plaster, might as well upgrade the electrical because while gadgets are going smaller and wireless they still need power.
Ironically a lot of the new construction I've seen doesn't really look at all like an eHome. They seem to think stainless appliances and granite countertops are sufficient! Even hip high end condos are sorely disappointing on the technology front. I need a way to control temperature, lighting, sound, and video in every room at a minimum. The place should be fully wired with in-wall speakers pumping out my 200 Gigs of tunes and I should be able to get my videos and photos to display on every flat panel TV. Bonus points if I can control the house from my cell phone.
I'm not sure I buy that technophiles caused the housing boom but I do think there will be big changes in home building in the next ten years. "At MIT, architecture professor Kent Larson is working on designs in which the bones of a house — a skeleton of studs, beams, and trusses — are like the chassis of a car or a PC, and linked components like sensors and A/V equipment slot into integrated receptacles… 'You'd move away from conventional construction, and builders would become assemblers,' Larson says."

Planet Viewing in 2014
☿Best this year in the dawn sky around the end of October, and in the evening sky in late January to early February and again in mid-May.
♀The brilliant morning or evening star starts 2014 in the evening sky, but moves to the morning sky by mid-January, where it remains through summer. It returns to the evening sky by year's end.
♂The Red Planet shines brightest this year in April, when it will briefly rank as the fourth-brightest object in the night sky.
♃The largest planet in the solar system, and the brightest object in the night sky after the Moon and Venus. It shines at its best in early January, when it is brightest and is in the sky all night.
♄Shines brightest this year in May, as it moves through Libra.
⛢Visible in early October; requires very dark skies and good eyes.
♆The fourth-largest planet in the solar system is so far away that you need a telescope to find it. Neptune stages its best appearance in late August.

SHREVEPORT, La. (KMSS) — The Centerpoint Community Services Center in Shreveport is closing its' doors temporarily due to funding issues.
The organization services over 25,000 people annually in 11 parishes across Northwest Louisiana. The services offered are funded through federal and state grant programs.
"We have a walk in service for a number of emergency circumstances from food to housing, shelter, utilities assistance, prescription assistance and other income support needs," said Terri Axelson, who works with the organization.
One of the biggest programs offered by the center is 211 connections, which is a referral system in case of a crisis situation.
Seven employees will be affected by the temporary closure including Axelson but she is confident that something will be worked out over the next ninety days.
"We have been very encouraged how much support we have from the community, from the contractors and most of all i have to give great praise to the board, because they are very committed to their community and their service," said Axelson.
The Board of Directors are currently looking for different avenues for funding and while no exact date for reopening has been set, officials are hoping for answers over the next few months.

ACCOUNTANCY INSIGHT and strategy is more valuable than the more traditional focus on transactions and costs, a new report has concluded.
CIMA's survey, From Efficiency to Effectiveness: Transforming the Finance Delivery Mix, revealed finance professionals who consider their organisation "high performing" focus more on management support and are strong when it comes to transformed and collaborative finance functions.
Further reading
By contrast, less successful respondents continued to place firm emphasis on traditional accounting operations.
Shantanu Ghosh, senior vice-president of Practices, Solutions and Transitions at report sponsor Genpact, said: "Many finance functions are evolving to provide more high-value insight and strategy rather than just focusing on accounting transactions and costs."
Despite cost considerations, the survey shows that 60% of participants use or plan to use external finance services in a bid to add capacity and boost the effectiveness of financial processes.
Paul Blackburn, group financial controller of GlaxoSmithKline, said process management specialist Genpact had helped GSK improve its audit and increase the effectiveness of its services.
CIMA surveyed 3,000 finance and senior managers around the world, considering how finance services will be delivered in future and the way in which professionals can help meet company objectives through management support.

If budgeting is to have any value at all, it needs a radical overhaul. In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.

JUNCTION CITY, Ore. — The Aerobeez Monster Fest kicks off at the airport this weekend. Planes will be taking off and landing, but there won't be pilots up in the planes. Instead, they'll be controlling from the ground.
This weekend, 60 pilots from Iowa, California, Washington and Oregon will showcase their radio control planes. The planes, which have wingspans of about seven feet wide, range in price from $2,500 to $10,000. The larger the plane, the more power it delivers.
"We have one guy from Portland that will have a plane doing 135 to 240 miles per hour. It only lasts a couple of minutes, but it will be interesting to see," says Mike Winklepleck with Eugene RC Aeronauts.
Spectators will get a show, and anyone interested can sign up to fly. Members of Eugene RC Aeronauts will provide a plane and a control box. The free air show is Saturday and Sunday at Henson Field in Junction City.

Home || Info || Contact Us || Perennials On Sale || My Order
If you will maintain a regular gardening schedule of feeding, watering and weeding your perennials will reward you with healthy lush foliage and beautiful flowers. As with most gardening tips the techniques are simple and easy to follow. Discipline is actually what separates the successful gardener from the novice. You must stay on top of all your gardening routines to achieve the results you see in magazines, books and TV. True gardeners don't look at gardening as a chore - its more a labor of love.
Watering Perennials: Along with soil and sunshine, water is the most crucial ingredient needed for proper growth and flowering. It is a must that you water all newly planted perennials in their first year of getting established. After the first year only an occasional watering will be needed during hot dry spells of summer. When watering always water deeply to encourage deep root growth. You can do more harm than good by just lightly dampening the surface of the soil as the roots of the plant will come to the upper part of the soil for the water and risk being baked by the hot sun. Deep watering is achieve best by using soaker hoses. These hoses emit water droplets a little over time and allow the water to seep down into the soil rather than running off the surface, If you do use a sprinkler always water during the early morning hours. Watering in the evenings subjects the plants foliage to staying damp through out the night which promotes fungus and diseases.
Feeding Perennials: Your perennials will thrive if you will give 2 - 3 light feedings per growing season. We strongly encourage our customers to use organic supplements such as bone meal, blood meal, and fish emulsions in place of commercial fertilizers. The feeding program should start immediately in the spring when new growth starts to appear and be followed up with a second feeding in mid summer. We use fish emulsion for liquid feeding once a week through out the growing season and love the results we get. If you do use a non-organic fertilizer be careful not to over do it or you risk burning the plant (something that organic fertilizers will not do). Always follow the instructions given on the manufactures label.
Weeding Perennials: Weeding is the least desirable task on all gardeners list but it must be done if you want your gardens to look their best. This best defense against weeds in the perennial garden is good layer of mulch. Mulch will help smother out any weed seeds and will help maintain the soils temperature and moisture levels. Mulch is only part of the defense - it is by no means a solution. You will need to hand pull or hoe any seedlings that do emerge. If you get lazy and let the weeds grow they will do what all plants do - produce seeds - and more seeds means more weeds. We do not recommend using any sprays or granular products to control weeds as many of these will also kill certain perennials. Beautiful weed free gardens can be achieved by simply staying on task and not getting lazy with your weeding chores.

Just finished my keezer and I'd like to decorate it with some beer stickers. I have a half dozen Avery stickers I've been holding onto if someone would like to trade. If anyone has they'd send, trade, or sell, PM me please.
Just a thought, but have you considered writing to some of the brewerys and asking them for some? Afterall, it is advertising for them.
The only way to get them is to go on a U.S. brewery tour. Do it.
Go to any beer festivals. That is where I got all mine. Coasters are easier to snag, just throw some glue on the back and you're done. This is mine so far.
I have a bunch of midwest supplies stickers, two different styles, if youre interested
I second emailing breweries. They give that **** out constantly. Just say you're a huge fan of "beer company" and want to decorate your home bar in their swag and was wondering if they have any stickers or anything they could send you.
DEBC fan much? LOL JK. They make some great beer. It's awesome that Dallas is finally getting some great craft breweries.
I could shoot you a couple Ithaca brewing stickers if you wanted to trade?

Implicitly adaptive FDR control based on the asymptotically optimal rejection curve AbstractA multiple test problem is characterized by $m > 1$ hypotheses that shall be tested simultaneously under the scope of one statistical experiment. First theoretical investigations of multiple test problems reach back to the 1950s and were primarily concerned with biometrical and agricultural applications. Aim was the development of test procedures controlling the family-wise error rate (FWER), meaning that the probability for rejecting at least one true hypothesis is bounded by a pre-defined significance level $\alpha$. However, due to rapid technical progress in many scientific fields, the cardinality of systems of hypotheses under consideration can nowadays become almost arbitrarily large. Typical examples are genetic association studies (500,000 or one million SNPs) or signal detection problems in cosmology (the visible sky is divided into more than $10^6$ pixels). In such (explorative) analyses, the FWER is agreed to be a too conservative error measure and can lead to many false negatives. In 1995, Benjamini and Hochberg proposed controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) as an alternative criterion for such cases. The FDR is defined as the expected proportion of false rejections (i.\ e., type I errors) among all rejections. The linear step-up test is meanwhile a standard tool in many statistical software packages. Under certain independence assumptions, it controls the FDR at level $m_0 \alpha / m$, where $m_0$ denotes the number of true null hypotheses. We present recent work on powerful FDR-controlling test procedures which adapt to the (unknown) quantity $m_0$ in order to exhaust the FDR level better in case of $m_0 < m$. Besides explicitly adaptive approaches utilizing a pre-estimation of $m_0$, special focus will be laid on the asymptotically optimal rejection curve (AORC). Under independence assumptions, the AORC induces asymptotically ($m \to \infty$) optimal critical values for step-up-down (SUD) tests maximizing power. We discuss asymptotic results as well as modified AORC-based SUD tests for exact FDR control for any finite $m$.

Always and Never
Be careful with these words. They may be the easiest word to describe how you feel at the time. In a passionate argument they might actually describe how you see reality at the moment. Always and Never rarely occur. They are hurtful. They make a person feel as though they are not good enough, not trying hard enough or are not appreciated or being recognized for the things they are or are not doing. Don't describe how it ALWAYS or NEVER is, describe how that single incident or action made you feel.

Famous musician photographed by Bryan Adams as latest ambassador to join initiative focused on topic of hearing loss
Stfa, Switzerland (February 21, 2008)/PRNewswire/The quarterly magazine Hear the World features award-winning musician, Annie Lennox, on the cover of its latest issue, making her the newest ambassador for the Hear the World initiative. Lennox was photographed by musician and photographer Bryan Adams to help raise awareness about the issue of hearing loss.
"I can't even begin to imagine what my life would be like without the facility to hear," said Lennox. "All my creative expression has been focused around it. It's such a precious gift and not to be taken for granted."
Also featured in the recent issue of Hear the World is actress and musician Lindsay Lohan. In support of the initiative, Lohan was photographed by Adams as well.
The Hear the World magazine utilizes a culture and lifestyle platform to address the topic of hearing. Always linking content to the topic of hearing and sound, the magazine's features focus on a broad range of topics, including music, art, nature, and everything else that contributes to the beauty of life. The magazine also informs readers about the global Hear the World Foundation, which is dedicated to educating the public about the issue of hearing loss and providing support to those with hearing loss.
Adams is the official photographer of Hear the World and has photographed Plcido Domingo, Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, Harry Belafonte, Bobby McFerrin, Common and Moby, among others for past issues. Each individual is photographed with his or her hand behind the ear to convey an attempt to listen, to hear consciously.
"I'm interested in the goals that Hear the World is trying to achieve," Adams said. "As a musician, I'm naturally sympathetic to a cause dedicated to help people appreciate and preserve an individual's sense of sound."
Hear the World magazine is available at select newsstands and hotels and at airports internationally. It is published on a quarterly basis and costs $8 per issue. The magazine is supported by the global Hear the World initiative, which is dedicated to raising awareness for the topic of hearing. A free copy can be ordered at www.hear-the-world.com. Net proceeds of the magazine benefit the Hear the World Foundation.

G&E has extensive experience representing creditor interests in bankruptcy cases of all sizes, prosecuting claims and defending creditors from debtor "clawback" and other recovery actions. Firm attorneys have a practiced understanding of the Bankruptcy Code and skills in litigation arising out of major U.S. Chapter 11 bankruptcies and other U.S. and offshore insolvency and winding-up proceedings, some of which are noted below.
Southern District of New York
G&E is currently representing plaintiffs in a suit alleging that Cantor Fitzgerald deprived Refco of assets due pursuant to an investment and partnership interest. Particularly, Refco claims that its $8 million investment in exchange for a 10% holding in a Cantor Fitzgerald subsidiary was not fairly compensated when Cantor shut down that subsidiary, acquiring its proprietary technology and intellectual property. Refco alleges that Cantor continued to develop the business without compensating the estate. In June 2014, the case survived the motion to dismiss, and is now proceeding toward trial.
Southern District of New York
G&E represented a litigation trust established by the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of pursuing litigation on behalf of the creditors of Flag Telecom Holdings Ltd. The complaint in this case alleged breaches of fiduciary duty under Bermuda law by Flag's officers and directors, aided and abetted by certain third parties, in connection with various fraudulent conveyances and the company's filing of materially false financial statements. The suit was filed in New York Supreme Court, and was subsequently removed to federal court by the defendants. In November 2010, the suit settled for $24.4 million.

So before I head back east I wanted to get a Fun Friday Photo up for all of your enjoyment! I've got about 200 photos to upload yet, and I won't get to them until tomorrow, so I figured I'd treat you all to one of the 200 I need to upload.
I've enjoyed a great time at SMX West, I got to meet a lot of new people and sat in on some great sessions. I'll be writing a recap of my experiences over the weekend too, since I did not live blog this conference. So for now, I hope you'll enjoy this rather funny photo of Gab and Greg. Seems someone finally caught up to Boser and "arrested" him for ... well we all know!
If you like this photo feel free to comment or favorite the photo of Gab & Greg, feel free to comment and favorite it as that's how we'll be judging the photos at the end of the year! Check out the rest of the fun at SMX West 2008. Keep an eye out, we'll be back next week with Fun Photo Fridays.

The quality of this table matches its price. If you are looking for something durable that will last for years don't buy this. The black paint chips VERY easily. It's a bit flimsy. I do not recommend unless its just going to sit in the corner and get dusted occassionally.
Needed a black parsons table. Stalking home goods regularly. Scouring net for a good low-cost version. Figured this was a gamble coming from china. Am pleased. Zero scuffs or dings. Exactly as described. Drawer is pretty chintzy, but I've got it turned around.
This table is average. Easy to assemble. Scratches easily.
This sofa table exceeded my expectations. It was better quality than what I expected. I was easy to put together and didn't wobble. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something functional.
super clean and modern. love the drawer and ease of putting together.
This is the perfect size for my beauty studio. I was looking for something that looked elegant with a glossy finish in black and this was great. However, like the other reviewers mentioned, it's easy to scratch. My table came home with cracks on the sides. Still looks good from afar. Sturdy and not wobbly.
You get what you pay for. It was cheap and is not great quality, but it served its purpose and looks fine where it is.
The scale of this table is small which made it ideal for the space. I partularly liked the finish which isn't a shiny high gloss but more of a luster. It looks like a much more expensive piece. There was a smalll split on the bottome of one leg but I used a sharpie pen on it. I wanted a sleek look and didn't think the drawer added anything so I put the drawer facing the wall and now it looks like an elegant table. I have a heavy black sculpiture on it and nothing detracts from the art.

My son started wearing cologne in high school. I have never worn it myself so when he came to me and asked me what he should wear I was at a total loss. "Uh, something that smells good" was about the best advice that I could offer.
He ended up trying four or five different scents before he found one that he liked. For a while our house smelled like a night club there were so many different smells getting sprayed into the air.

Meryl Streep delivered a brilliant address in 2010 when my daughter graduated from Barnard College. A hard act to follow. On Monday, Barack Obama was the speaker for the Barnard class of 2012. Within moments of his final inspiring words, the pundits slammed the speech as 'political'. They were right; the President's speech was profoundly political, exhorting 596 incredibly smart and accomplished young women to go out that same day and start changing the world. But it wasn't 'political' in the way the talking heads meant it, with the implied taint of partisan Democratic New York liberal elitism. No, it was far more subversive than that, revolutionary even.
Obama called upon these women to use their educations to stand up for the equal and inalienable rights of all Americans to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He warned that they faced a world where they would be paid less than men for the same work, and where other Americans were dedicated to curtailing their access to health care and control of their bodies. He warned of the struggles they would face juggling work and family. How his own mother left him to go work with early microfinancing for women, how his grandmother was there for him. Yet regardless of the difficulties ahead, he continued, it was incumbent upon them to stand up for the rights of all Americans, some of whom cannot speak for themselves, because that's what Americans do.
We struggle as refugees and immigrants to reach the freedom of America, eventually win citizenship, and pursue our individual dreams and happinesses. In doing so, we are obliged, in return for those innumerable privileges, to keep the doors of America open for the next arriving dreamers. The current mood is to pull up the draw-bridge and pour boiling oil from the ramparts on latecomers, as though the idea of America were sold out and there was no more room.
Get involved, grab a seat at the table -the head of the table!- he told them, and work so that every other American will have the same rights and opportunities as you. Barack Obama is a man who has deep respect for women, and who believes the world would be a saner and less violent place if they ran the show. What better forum than the top women's college in the nation to speak to all women, and his own two daughters, about doing the right thing?
What more needs be said about the choice?
I've been hit by girls and it still fricking hurts!
This is a great post about the other, more important side of being President, in my view -- that of inspiring others to greatness and leading them on with something we simple folk like to call: Vision.
I haven't seen a whole lot of that Vision stuff, but maybe I need one of them new 3D Plasma TVs to see the Vision, I dunno. Still the whole inspiring others to do greater things he seems to have figured out. What inspiration does Mitt provide? "I like to fire people?"
I too, get the feeling that Obama likes and respects women. He's been surrounded by strong women all his life, and appears to have been stimulated and inspired by them. After all, look at the woman he loves and who loves him. I think Michelle is terrific, and a breath of fresh air as the FLOTUS.
I heard the speech, did you? I'm a student at Columbia and can assure you that diversity is thriving. Shrillness doesn't replace accuracy. Federal support of higher education is not a handout, it's a necessity. By the way, the Air Force Academy has accepted women since 1975, Naval Academy since 1976, West Point 1976.
that kind of asshatted commentary makes my blood boil, as you can see. sorry to have hijacked your blog, SVC.
Here's a disclaimer: I generalize, I'm imprecise, and I'm far more interested in big pictures than details. I'm not going to argue statistics and numbers because they don't much interest me.
The Barnard stats are what they are because white people still have access to better schools and because we have no national educational standards. We are painfully undereducated as nation. Barnard Admissions doesn't reject qualified minority applicants because of some sinister plot to keep diversity low, for goodness sake, they simply don't get as many qualified minority applicants. But they get more than they used to and fewer than they will.
I'm a naturalized American who arrived here as a stateless refugee; I weep each time I'm welcomed home at JFK. English is my second language. I think that parents owe their children two things: the best education they can possibly provide and a serious grounding in the Golden Rule. My kids have attended private schools their whole lives. Not because they're rich, which I assure they're not, nor because they're white, which they are, but because that's where the best available education was. My daughter received scholarships and financial aid in both HS and at Barnard because she's very smart and works harder than anyone I know. My son is going to CUNY, with financial aid, in the fall.
I believe it's okay for all people to be educated, even white kids. Even mothers of white kids who get scholarships and financial aid to attend Columbia, as I do now, and who will graduate soon at 61.
I still want to change the world, even if I'm a late bloomer
When I saw Obama was to speak at Barnard my stomach sickened over his hypocrisy. Obama uses women to fight for his betraying policies a lot. Obama is no fool. The women sadly are. They want to climb the power ladder, but they need to understand what ladder they are climbing and who are they are actually helping in both parties. The one percent of which Obama beyond the rhetoric proudly is. The well-paid frontman for oligarchs who wanted to be a player and a one percenter and is now. The gamesman never statesman and still incredibly snowing too many at this point in a country that sadly won't give up the Obama brand illusion propaganda of 2008 despite the horror and continuation of Bush policies and which will continue to be led by corporate tv MSNBC etc. power to blame it all on the admittedly rabid rat bastard Republicans. Rabid rat bastards control both parties now.
What a tragedy. Sorry Barnard women. You deserved the real deal. WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR THIS COUNTRY. Learn to call out Obama on his bullshit and his amorality.
My bet is that Ms. Brown considers herself a "liberal." That's what gives her the justification she needs to lambast him for the usual ideological reasons. They're not going to give him a break, no way, even in the face of the impending threat to what has been gained over the last fourty years by Mitt and his coalition.
Thinking politically, and realistically, is apparently no longer fashionable, even by someone like Ms. Brown whose career probably would have been impossible if it wasn't for the politicians like Obama.
How about giving him a break before it's too late ladies?

It works both ways and has different settings and stuff
Hearing that it used to function like a pistol, and instead is more like holding a forkball was disappointing. I also want to call out Ricky151 for his blatantly obvious sell-your-soul-for-the-corporation payment he received for writing such a clearly obvious sales pitch for what is - in reality - a less-than-quality product once the hidden truth comes out about it. If it takes 'awhile' to get used to what is not fundamentally different than an on/off light switch, your review should again, be taken as, and is worth nothing more than: a grain of salt. End result - cheap product - you will get exactly what you paid for...
Easy to use Powerful enough for light/medium duty use Charge lasts a long time, easy to complete weeks of tasks between charging Comfortable to hold, and doesn't over-torque (no wrenching of the wrist)
Not supposed to overcharge nor charge before low...how about a 'low power' light? Charging time inexact - how about a light to indicate that it's charged, and an overcharge protection circuit?
It does work... in the straight position (not pistol) ok...
This was a replacement for a older B&D unit. The new design is awkward to use in the "pistol" position. Nothing like the older unit. The trigger is on top of the unit now. Why not on the bottom (like a pistol) so it is easier to use? The "new" chuck that does NOT lock bits in, is another poor feature as the bits do fall out. A real pain!
its orange
cust svc dissapointment, wont work, cannot charge, piece of junk
Have to keep track of bits and charger separately. For a small screwdriver like this kept around for quick jobs it would be nice to have it more self contained.
Easy to use.
Bits started wearing out on the first turn and also stripping the screws I was trying to unscrew.
Light, small, and inexpensive.
Nothing so far. If I ever work on a bigger project with this tool, I may notice some cons.
lithium battery
position of switch
Very well priced at 19 bucks. Folding handle great feature.
Trigger in a bad location for under cabinet work. It needs to be on the side or a pistol style trigger. Hard to grip and access with thumb. No on-board bit storage. Need to add a slot in body side for extra bits.
On button, direction button, and the fact that I want to give this tool away, but don't know anyone I hate enough to give it to!
