Why a Healthcare Entrepreneur is Selling His Business to Employees
In 2006, Dr. Richard Warner opened Colorado Recovery, a treatment facility in Boulder, Colorado to serve people with serious mental illnesses. A UK-trained psychiatrist with 30 years of experience in the public sector in Boulder, Warner wanted to create a non-hospital treatment center that focused on respectful, compassionate, and optimistic care.
"We treat every client," he says, "as if he or she were our next of kin."
Building Co-operative Power: A Book Review
Editor's note: J Rainsnow is a novelist. His unusual review of Bulding Co-operative Power: Stories and Strategies from Worker Co-Operatives in the Connecticut River Valley comes from an artist's perspective, outside of that of most co-operators, organizers, and activists. His view is large and his grasp of details surprisingly rich.

Young Entrepreneur Promotes Gifting to Heal His Cancer and Society
Shareable has published many stories about the gift economy and living without money. While they're often inspiring and popular, they often bring up fear of survival. People ask, "Is this really possible for ME?" or "Will I become homeless or sick and die from poverty?" Personally, I've questioned whether living in the gift economy is realistic only for privileged, healthy people.

In a world of worsening social inequality, climate change, and other urgent challenges, how can higher education play a more active, constructive role? A small liberal arts college known for its innovative approaches to undergraduate education aims to find out.
Compare and Share: The One-Stop Sharing Marketplace
The People Who Share, a UK organization working to mainstream sharing, recently launched a new sharing marketplace called Compare and Share. Being touted as the world's one-stop shop for the sharing economy, their vision is to be the go-to marketplace to share everything from sporting goods and tools, to rides, cars and houses.
New Report Explores The Commons as a Paradigm to Align Movements
The proliferation of activist initiatives calling for systemic change around the world has never been more impressive. Yet collaborations among like-minded organizations, projects and movements have been disappointingly modest. As neoliberal economics and policies tighten their grip on American society—notwithstanding the dismal misbehavior of financial institutions, corporations and the two political parties—can leading alt-economic and social movements find ways to work more closely together?
15 Apps to Boost Your Happiness
Since smartphones quicken the pace of life and work, it only seems fair that they should also help us recover from all that quickening—give us a way to wind down and brighten our moods, right? While no app can compare to time with loved ones, nature, meditation, and exercise, there are plenty that promise to boost our happiness, calm us, and make us more grateful. Here are 15 of our favorites worth trying:

Pay-As-You-Feel Cafe Feeds Thousands on Food Waste
Adam Smith knows food. A trained chef who has worked in numerous restaurants, the 29-year old also knows firsthand how much perfectly good food is wasted. Smith hails from Leeds, England, but it was a year spent working on farms in Australia that inspired The Real Junk Food Project (TRJFP), which changed the direction of his life. A pay-as-you-feel cafe model, TRJFP intercepts food headed for the landfill and turns it into restaurant-quality meals.
11 Tips for Running a Successful Food Waste Reduction Campaign
An estimated 40 percent of food in the U.S. is wasted by either being thrown away or left to rot. Considering that 49 million Americans live in food insecure households, this is a sobering statistic. Food waste also exacts an incredible toll on the environment. Food waste in landfills creates methane, one of the most harmful greenhouse gases; it leads to the wasteful use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers; and it causes unnecessary energy and transportation impacts.
ethicalBay: The Coop Version of Amazon but for Ethical Goods

Inside Boulder's Growing (and Illegal) Cooperative Housing Movement
I live in one of a growing number of "illegal" cooperative houses (co-ops) in Boulder, Colorado. The city's occupancy limit of three or four unrelated people effectively bans co-ops, which is in direct opposition to its stated goals of providing affordable housing and environmental responsibility.
New Documentary a Call to Action for More Worker Coops
During the 2008 financial meltdown, it became clear that we need new ways of making a living. Since then, worker cooperatives have re-emerged as a viable alternative to traditional businesses. A new short film, Own the Change: Building Economic Democracy One Worker Co-op at a Time, gives an overview of what a worker coop is, how they transform communities, and the realities of starting one.
Interviewed: Professor Christian Iaione on the City as Commons
A commons-based economy cannot thrive without appropriate institutions, especially those that represent a "partner state" approach. Professor Christian Iaione of LUISS University in Rome is a pioneer of such institutional innovation in Italian cities. I believe his work with the city of Bologna on Bologna's Regulation for the Care and Regeneration of Urban Commons is a breakthrough.
Seed Libraries Fight for the Right to Share

It's easy to take seeds for granted. Tiny dry pods hidden in packets and sacks, they make a brief appearance as gardeners and farmers collect them for future planting then later drop them into soil. They are not "what's for dinner," yet without them there would be no dinner. Seeds are the forgotten heroes of food—and of life itself.

ADDISON COUNTY — In area girls' high school soccer play late last week, Vergennes won in overtime, while Mount Abraham and Otter Valley each split a pair of games.
The Commodores knocked off host Rice on Saturday, 1-0, in overtime when Tea Keifer knocked in the rebound of a penalty kick that Green Knight goalie Macie Sicard had stopped.
Commodore goalieK.C. Ambrose was credited with 25 saves as VUHS shut out Rice and evened its record at 2-2. Sicard stopped 10 shots for Rice.

VERGENNES — A Vergennes Union High School boys' soccer team with virtually an entirely new starting lineup held off an experienced Rice team for most of Tuesday's home game, but the Green Knights scored with four minutes to go and left with a 2-1 victory.
ADDISON COUNTY — In local high school girls' soccer play late last week, Mount Abraham broke into the win column and Vergennes rallied past host Otter Valley.
Middlebury (1-0) was idle. The Tigers will host VUHS on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. and Stratton on Saturday at 10 a.m.
On Friday, five Eagles scored as Mount Abe topped visiting Division I foe Mount Mansfield, 5-1. The D-II Eagles evened their record at 1-1, with both games against D-I teams.
VERGENNES — Repairs were under way in various sections of Vergennes Union High School as the school year began last Wednesday, and a series of heavy and unexpected rainstorms early last week wreaked havoc on several language classrooms.
"It overwhelmed the design of the temporary structure on the roof," explained Co-principal Ed Webbley.
Webbley said he was unsure of the cost of the damage because VUHS is not responsible for the damage from the storm, which is covered by the construction company's insurance.
VERGENNES — The Vergennes Union High School auditorium will be closed for what school officials said could be a few weeks following a safety inspection last week, but they also said they have a plan to fix the most pressing problems and bring the room and stage back on line as soon as possible — but probably not for a full fall theatrical production.
VERGENNES — Work should begin next week on a $600,000 project that Vergennes Union High School officials said is critical to the building's integrity: New roofing and insulation on its classroom wing and auditorium.
After trimming the proposed work because bids came in higher than expected, a school board member said school directors were happy with the compromises, and he reminded district residents that further repairs are still needed on the building.
VERGENNES — Astronauts on the 1970 Apollo 13 moon launch had to abort after 56 hours and barely returned to Earth with their lives.
Unlike them, Vergennes Union High School 8th-grader and space aficionado Alyse Beauchemin successfully completed her mission — a Capstone Challenge Project on that ill-fated NASA operation.
ADDISON COUNTY — The Vergennes Union High School softball team made the most headlines among the local squads this spring, and the Commodores are well represented on the 2013 Addison Independent Softball All-Star team — including the Independent Co-Players of the Year, Cat Chaput and Taylor Paquette.
ADDISON COUNTY — Wednesday turned out to be a huge day for area high school sports teams, which went three-for-three in semifinal games to earn shots at state championships.
The 17-1 Otter Valley baseball team, the second seed in Division II, crunched visiting No. 3 Lamoille, 8-1; the second-seeded Middlebury girls' lacrosse team doubled up visiting No. 3 Mount Anthony, 16-8; and the No. 3 Vergennes softball team blanked host No. 2 Lyndon, 4-0.

Best Place for Any (and We Mean Any) Local Band to Get a Fair Shake (2002)
Cricket on the Hill
Whether they are truly talented or simply interested in using music as a bludgeon, untested Denver bands have long had a wide-open outlet for their art at Cricket on the Hill. Sure, the place is far from cuddly, but management understands the bar's symbiosis with local rock. The standard deal is straightforward: Three bands split a third of the bar after they pay off the sound guy. No bullshit. No one gets ripped off. No drunken riots...well, not very often. Hey, two out of three ain't bad.

"Are they paying you?"
The financial situation for Denair Unified School District is going from bad to worse, as the updated budget was revealed on Thursday.
When students at Turlock High School return to class in a few weeks, they'll see a familiar face as the lead administrator.
Barney Gordon was appointed on Tuesday to replace former Turlock Unified School District Trustee Grady Welch, who resigned his post in July with more than two years left in his term. Gordon was one of four candidates who were publicly interviewed at Tuesday's board meeting.
America's democratic government relies on citizens to volunteer their time to serve in leadership positions for the well-being of their communities. The position of school district trustee is one of the most important elected offices in every city, as education is the key to creating prosperous communities.
As a Merced College instructor, one of my greatest privileges is working with our student veterans, many of whom are using their GI Bill benefits to prepare themselves for an increasingly competitive job market.
In partnership with Volunteers of America's annual Operation Backpack campaign, the Stanislaus County Office of Education is collecting new backpacks and school supplies on behalf of homeless students throughout Stanislaus County.
Manuel Scott, an original freedom writer whose story is told in a 2007 Hollywood film, is coming to Modesto to share his story of struggle and success to inspire the youth.
A Dennis Earl Elementary third grade teacher is one step closer to becoming the 2013 Teacher of the Year.
Most students shut their textbooks and retire their math skills at the end of the school year. But 32 dedicated students took advantage of the summer break to boost their geometry skills.
Turlock Unified School District Superintendent Sonny Da Marto was named one of five finalists for the 2013 National Superintendent of the Year award by the National Association of School Superintendents.
Despite missing a crucial deadline to send out teacher layoff notices, the Denair Unified School District cut more employee hours and positions in an effort to avoid a state takeover.
When Pitman High School graduate Gabbie Khasha walked to the podium to receive her diploma, she thought she was taking the first step on the path to higher education. But as her college starting date approaches, the financial burden and reality of the cost of tuition is throwing a roadblock in her future.
Despite questions of legality, recent teacher layoff notices issued by Denair Unified School District will not be rescinded - and even more positions are set to be cut, according to DUSD interim superintendent.
Bringing home eight first place awards and a best of show from the California State Fair has made it the best year so far for the Turlock High School FFA Ag Mechanics team.
Students at Roselawn Continuation High School traded in their textbooks and pencils for pamphlets and presentations during the school's annual Career Day on Friday.
"Pick one goal and build success for you as well as your child with autism."
Amidst the figurative whirlwind of essay prompts and research papers, any college student would agree with California State University, Stanislaus that greatness, especially at the university level, relies on writing.
Julien Elementary School sixth grader Sierra Yandell knows that it is just as important to respect oneself as it is to respect others.
Common Core aligned math textbooks will still be missing from bookshelves in Turlock elementary schools as Turlock Unified School District has made the decision not to pilot math instructional material at this time due to significant curriculum gaps in available programs.
Although a field trip to the dentist might seem like a less than desirable idea to most, those who were at First Step Dental on Friday would quickly disagree.
It is a common saying in show business that-even faced with adversity-the show must go on.
California State University, Stanislaus is set to welcome two crowd-pleasing speakers next week that are guaranteed to present a new twist on finances and gender equality.
Reductions equivalent to two full time teaching positions at Denair High School are scheduled for the 2015-2016 academic year due to less than expected enrollment.
In an effort to attract and retain the best possible employees for Turlock Unified School District, the Board of Trustees approved a salary schedule and supplementary raise for administrative positions on Tuesday-one of which was met with opposition among the Board and community members.
It goes without saying that the Turlock High School Navy Junior Reserves Officers Training Corps program provides nothing but rewarding experiences for all members.

When summer arrives, we know how warm and uncomfortable we can become.

Lowering the somatic cell count (SCC) limit has received a lot of press lately, but reducing SCC has many benefits for dairy producers regardless of regulations. Higher premiums and improved cow health are just a few of the advantages. So, what are some of the best ways to reach a lower SCC? Read more

Carla Bozajeski, N.D. was gracious to take my synopsis and added to it to make it more informative and accurate. Below is our combined efforts. Taansen Fairmont Sumeru, Ph.D. got back to me after I posted the synopsis yesterday and emailed me his notes from his presentation. His are included below Carla's. For those who like to save these, a complete copy with, this included with the rest of it will soon follow this posting, plus something added on the very end you need to read that I forgot to add yesterday.
Carla V. Bozajeski, N.D.: Immortal Blood Syndrome
from February 26, 2005 Conference Call Notes
The technology Carla told us about is based on the
Bob Beck protocol using the electro-medicine
devices. It is not new, and has been around for many
years. The primary thing it does when used properly
is first to clean the blood of all viruses, bacteria
and fungus along with most parasites that are out of
Carla told us there has been a whole spectrum of
new technologies during the past 10 years, more than
in the previous 100 years. These new technologies
are bringing a whole spectrum of healing
technologies outside of traditional medicine which
is known for
either prescribing drugs and or surgery.
Carla spoke of a friend of hers, a man by the name
of Dr. Robert C. Beck, who
developed the Bob Beck protocol for primarily
clearing the blood of the AIDS virus in 1994. She
met him at an intermediate-level quantum physics
seminar in May of that year. He had just finished a
study with 200 AIDS patients off-shore with the
results being that all 200 patients were cleared of
the AIDS virus in 3 weeks time. He utilized the
blood clearing device which neutralizes unwanted
microbes in the blood and the magnetic pulser to
clear out viruses and bacteria hibernating in the
lymph system.
Carla utilizes five modalities which include three
of the Bob Beck's machines in her protocol to teach
patients how to put their bodies back in balance for
optimal health benefits and take back their power.
1. Bob Beck Silver Pulser -- clears the blood
of all bacteria, virus and funguses. This machine
also has the ability to create pharmaceutical grade
ionic/colloidal silver with proper instruction for
2. Beck Magnetic Pulser device -- it neutralizes
all viruses, bacteria and fungus hibernating in the
lymph and rejuvenates all the organs. Bob Beck used
this device to re-grow back a full head of hair with
it's original color at his advanced age.
3. Beck Water Ozonating machine -- based on
Tesla technology and is one of the simplest ways to
ozonate a glass of water in 3-5 minutes time.
4. Bob Beck Brain Tuner (the BT5) -- invented in
the early 1980s. There are other BT's that have
been refined. The Brain Tuner balances the left and
right brain hemispheres, balances brain chemistry
thereby neutralizing addictions and allergies and
reduces stress. It neutralizes depression, anxiety
and promotes endorphin production. It seems to
promote formation of dendrites resulting in a higher
IQ. Over thirty years of research all over the
world shows that this type of technology can
neutralize hard-core alcoholism in appox 5-7 days
for most individuals. Most people are no longer
addicted after that time. Cocaine, heroin and
meth-amphetamines/ect., ect. is cleared in 5-7 days
generally speaking. Cigarettes are more difficult
to neutralize quickly because research has proven
nicotine to be three times more addictive than
heroin. Usually within 2-3 weeks nicotine addiction
is neutralized. **Note: Carla had figured out in
1987 how to modify the brain tuner with different
electrode delivery systems coated with 24K gold and
12K silver placed on the skin to pulsate the healing
energy of gold and silver into the tissue to repair
paralysis of the shoulder which she was experiencing
at the time, thereby creating a super 'TENS unit'
from the original BT5 and BT6 units.
5. The Hulda Clark zappers -- used on the wrists
and the ankles to neutralize parasite infestation
which always manifests when the energy system is out
of balance.
To monitor the energy process she utilizes spectrum
analyzers that can give a 'good picture' from the
quantum of a person's IDF's (Intrinsic Data Files)
rather like a reading of a person's picture of their
energy imprint, as unique to each person as the
fingerprint or the iris of the eye. There are
various electronic devises on the market which are
effective in their broadcasting abilities to an
individual under treatment. More are being brought
to the marketplace everyday. This particular one
she has used since the middle 80's and utilizes
either a Polaroid photo, a small spot of blood
sample on blotter paper, a small quantity of hair,
preferably all three, to read the energetic DNA that
links the individual for broadcasting information
Our thoughts create wellness or illness in the body.
Emotions will create healthy chemical relations or
destructive chemical reactions in the cells which
create either health or destructive reactions in the
body. The human can hold death or destructive
thoughts in the aura for many years before it will
manifest in the body as an illness or health
challenge. False ideas of truth about themselves
create false growths within the body. Each illness
has a corresponding belief within about one's self;
i.e., spiritual thought of not having enough love,
especially at a very early age, can create diabetes
later on in life corresponding to spiritual anemia.
Carla said our whole education, universities,
government, media and medical systems has tried to
keep us deliberately and relentlessly brain
dead, stupid and fearful since the moment of birth.
Whereas the complete opposite idea is our Highest
Truth about ourselves. We are the Perfect Idea in
Divine Mind.
She said every part of the body vibrates at a
different frequency. Spectrum analyzers that are
similar to radionic devices can broadcast corrected
information from their intrinsic data fields
wherever the individual may be on the planet. She
can send the right energy to people, even if they
are on Mars, because thought
travels faster than the speed of light and only
takes seconds to get to the person who needs the
correct healing information.
The SE-5 Spectrum Analyzer is often considered the
Rolls Royce of radionic instruments. Radionics has
been used in Europe and parts of the United States
for at least 70 years. If you would like to
purchase this SE-5 technology you can get it through
Carla. She will teach you how to use it in your
every day life for every thing imaginable.
Carla said we are programmed to believe we have to
kill something, like a virus or germ, in order to
enjoy good health or regain better health. We do not
need to kill anything in order to be healthy or
For particular use of the Beck protocol, she teaches
people how to neutralize all viruses, bacteria and
fungus without needing to kill anything in order to
be healthy. It neutralizes and deprograms the
harmful viruses, bacteria and fungus manifestations
so they cannot attach to healthy cells and implement
their own destructive programming. The Spectrum
analyzer she uses in conjunction to teach people how
to take back their power to heal themselves is
programmed in itself where only to broadcast good
and healing information.
In public domain literature for those researching
radionics one will find in the 50's and 60's stories
of how units of CIA agents were using radionic
devices to allegedly create destructive programs to

Aelites Quantum International Managed Forex Trading Program
The Forex (Foreign Exchange) market is the trading of international currencies and is over 3.5 trillion dollars a day - - larger than all the US Equity Markets.
The Quantum International Group is available to trade the Forex market for you on a daily basis. Quantum International is one of the best Forex trading firms in the world. "Best" in this case is defined by being one of the safest, most time-tested, most reliable, most consistent, most stable, strongest, most protected, most fortified with risk-reduction mechanisms, least likely to be attacked by adversaries or competitors, and most well-backed with major investors.
50% of the earning (gains/losses) are disbursed to the investors each day. Investors may track their earning daily, and withdraw or add funds at will. There is a minimum investment of $2,000. For investors with $10M+, inquire about a special program.
Historical returns have averaged between 10% and 20% per month, net to the investor. The lowest month was 5% and the highest month was 25%. Investors with Quantums traders have never had a losing month. In any case, investors should always remember that past results are no guarantee of future performance.
Quantum International has been approved by the CFTC of the U.S. government. The Forex market is not regulated by any government, as it is an international market transcending governments. However, because managed accounts are handled on behalf of investors in the USA by Forex traders at brokerages where commodities futures trading accounts also exist, the CFTC (Commodities Futures Trading Commission) was designated to extend its oversight to Forex traders in the USA. The CFTC traveled to Louisiana in January 2005 at the request of the founders of Quantum to examine its operations. The conclusion of the meeting was a blessing of approval by the CFTC.
Likewise, Quantum has been government approved to accept retirement pension money for investment, if the pension is self-directed.
The traders directing Quantums profit generation traded for offshore clients in the nine figures for many years, generating a consistent 20% per month for them, with a guarantee against loss of principal. When the decision was made to house the trading back in the USA to better accommodate American investors, the SEC or FTC told them they cannot make such guarantees any longer. Apparently competing investment industries in the USA consider such excellent performance to be unfair competition. But in any case, this does show the level at which the Quantum traders can perform.
Quantum International Group is located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, USA, and has been operating in its present form since 2002. This is preceded by decades of previous successful experience in Forex trading. The principals Don Snider and Jonathan Crum (both Louisiana natives) are highly skilled Forex traders and their partner in London helped develop CitiBank's Forex trading software and worked for Citibank for 26 years on their London Trading floor.
Citibank's Forex trading was so successful that it is estimated up to one third of all Citibank's worldwide profits came from their Forex department. Similarly, Capital One invested $5M and made $541M in one year in Forex. Likewise, Chrysler Corporation makes more money in Forex than in selling cars.
Don Snider and Jonathan Crum offer several programs; (1) Mortgage Freedom Club, Home and Commercial Gifting Program, and (2) Quantum International Trading, Forex trading and Capital Investment Program. All programs are marketed through "The Elm Group" which has offices in Lafayette, Louisiana and San Antonio, Texas. Aelite Financial Services is a master agent of the ELM Group and allowed to market these programs, worldwide. Golden Age Investments is an associate agent of Aelite Financial Services.
These programs are the brainchild of Don Snider and Jonathan Crum. They have a totally open door policy, and no question is left unanswered. Everyone associated with Quantum, ELM, and Aelite is an open book. All information about principals, backgrounds, and investment procedures are open and above board. Nothing is hidden under non-disclosure, as it is with so many other companies. Open house meetings happen once a month at the Quantum offices in Lake Charles and seminars are held around the country. You are welcome and encouraged to come to meet the principals anytime you choose, by pre-arranged appointment.
All programs are based upon initial investments as a percent of the principal mortgage or loan value, and then earning the money by trading through Forex. To learn more about Forex log into www.Forex.com or www.fxcm.com . Quantum International utilizes three different indicators for analyzing the market prior to making any trades. Their software is the same as the one used by Citibank and they are highly successful due to spreading the funds out over multiple traders, monitoring them and having a very conservative process.
In order to allow their agents to market the Capital Investment Program; Don hired lawyers totally familiar with FTC rules, regulations, etc., the result of which was to set up Quantum International Group, the trading arm. This allows us to utilize FXCM Group for all the funding and client accounts, and Quantum International to do the trading. This is done as a spot market trade and all transactions are processed under FXCM's licenses. Though SEC regulations no longer allow Quantum to guarantee the investment and monthly interest rate of return, the investors now get 50% of the results of the trades on a daily basis and can input or withdraw funds daily through their FXCM account. If past performance is any indicator of what we might expect in the future, this is an awesome program. FXCM is a division of Refco, one of the largest trading brokerages in the world.

By SWIMSEVEN from Flint, MichigaN on 3/24/2013
I swim every day, and I go through swimsuits fairly quickly. This product has been very durable. It also fits very comfortably. There is no feel of tightness binding my legs or waist. I recommend it very highly.
My first negative review
By Pamela N. from Vacaville, CA on 7/21/2014
I have purchased many suits from swimoutlet.com and this is the first one I'm disappointed in. I read all of the reviews prior to placing an order, which were mixed about size. I chose to get the smaller of the two sizes my son wears (26 vs. 28) because it was a final sale. Although the color was beautiful on the red one, the fit was horrible. He couldn't even get it over his thighs; there was no give. Because of the price, I ordered a second one in black, yet swimoutlet.com sent a navy one. My sons club colors are black and red, so I can't even give it to one of the smaller members on his team. I guess I am out the money, I should have just stuck with the XS Turbo and payed full price.
More like a racer than a real water polo suit
By JL from Chicago, IL on 3/22/2013
Size is about one half of a size too big in comparing to other brands like Speedo, Tyr, etc. The fabric is on the thin side. It is not fully lined, only front lined. It is not a real water polo suit.
a bit large
By pcan from boulder CO on 9/21/2012
I haven't used this suit yet but it feels and looks good. I tried it on, it seemed loose for my typical size so I returned it. I'll try one size smaller.
Too tight
By Leo from Opa Locka, FL on 8/18/2014
Very low stretch and small leg opening. Anyway great fabric and well made
too tight
By Cm from Toronto, ON on 8/16/2014
can't used it , too tight, everything feels compressed, the waist feels fine, so i wasted the money
A brief brief
By robtomh from San Jose, CA on 6/11/2014
This one definitely falls on the minimalist side with much less fabric than the typical TYR and Speedo briefs I've worn/tried. While there is less coverage, I find it is a more generous cut. That is, the suit has a little larger leg opening as well as less elastic in the waist (tie that drawstring tight!). In addition, the material is quite a bit thicker and more comfortable... although there is less stretch.All that said, I don't have a long history with swim briefs (a few years) but my general observation is that the traits above tend to be consistent with other water polo targeted briefs (compared to standard swim briefs). I sought out the "water polo" style brief in my search and I am extremely happy with this offering from Nike.
Best Feel-Best Look
By Charlie Brown from Minnesota on 3/17/2014
This facbric is great! Beats the nylon-spandex feel as it is so much more comfortable. I also like the embroidered Nike logo vs. the rubber stamp. Lots of compliments!
Good water polo suit.
By MrMichmac from Michigan on 10/14/2013
The Nike water polo brief is well made, great color and fabric. The fit could be a bit snugger. Excellent construction. Well made. Thanks
Too big
By Jasna from Toronto on 3/22/2013
I have size 22- too small, size 26 - too big, same Nike brand.

My partner found the hairdryer hose broken and the WIFI dropped out repeatedly. There was some minor noise from next door renovation which made it difficult for a siesta.

The cop here said that his intent in making the jaywalking stop was to stall for backup in order to effect an arrest for the felony murder that Mr. Brown had just committed.
I would hope men and women would carry guns if needed to protect their family, and that men and women would like respect at work.
(At work today, a physics professor asked a lady in the conference room "Ah, are you someone's wife?" No -- she is an English professor.)
Remember: In the same way a Fireman runs into a burning building; this Officer is going to be running towards the gunfire if there's trouble, not away from it like the average youth on the street.
If my experience with the "youths on the street" in Baltimore is any indication, they'll be running toward the gunfire, fumbling for their cellphone cameras, chanting "World Star Hip Hop".
I know this advice, but I wound up not following it, and it turned out okay for me -- in one situation. I wish we could come around to a policing culture where every story could end like this one. Sadly, we don't, and in many places the police have made themselves out to be the enemy.
I got hungry for a burrito one night at midnight in Tucson (a city of about 800,000; mixed white/Hispanic). Good thing, too, since there was a burrito shop three blocks down the road. I was reading an e-book on my netbook, so I grabbed my netbook and tucked it under my arm, and headed for the Taco Shop. Well, it was colder than I expected, so I started jogging down the road. It didn't occur to me, of course, that I looked suspicious, running down the street with a laptop under my arm.
Well, four cops confront me in the parking lot of the Taco Shop, wanting to know what the deal was. They were professional, and didn't make any aggressive moves toward me, put a hand on weapons, or touch me, but made it plain that I wasn't free to leave. They asked where I lived and what I was doing, and I told them. I said "I guess that does look suspicious. But this is my laptop. Can I show you some documents on it with my name on them, and show you that they match the name on my driver's license?"
The cop tells me to go ahead, so I do, and he says "Huh, guess it is your computer, then. Enjoy your burrito" and leaves along with the others.
Thing is, this is exactly what you shouldn't do when stopped by police in many places, since as you say their goal (often) is to find people and put them in jail. I could have said nothing, been detained, called a lawyer, and wasted a whole bunch of my time and a whole bunch of theirs. But, thankfully, I was able to take a risk that the Tucson police were better than that and try to demonstrate my innocence on the spot, and it paid off.
(Three of the cops, incidentally, were Hispanic; this wasn't a "white cops let the white guy go" situation. But there is far less racial animosity in Tucson than there is in places like Washington DC.)
And let's teach today's men to stop behaving like women and today's women to stop behaving like men while we're at it.
In what ways do today's men behave like women that you'd like to stop, and in what ways do today's women behave like men?
How would you like to see men and women behave differently?
Well, if your assortment of leptons includes positrons, some of them will hit the neutrons and undergo inverse beta decay, and then the electrons in your Mixed Lepton Soup will bind with them and make atoms, and then chemistry. So you're not safe.
It's hilarious that smartphones, operating in data mode, can give me nearly transparent audio in a voip connection to the other side of the planet... and yet in "phone" mode, people in the same city can't hear each other.
"Hold on, let me call you back on my Skype app" is something that should never be uttered over a voice call.
How could anyone competent ever call scripting obsolete?
It is no more or less than a tool to tell the computer wtf you want it to do in precise terms. If you don't have that you're reduced to hoping someone already thought of the things you're trying to do and implemented the correct clicky bit for you to click on. If not, you're SOL.
The Registry.
Oh, god, the Registry.
Those of you know more than me can maybe advise: why the hell does this thing even exist? Why not stick with ordinary text files containing things like
# set the preferred meaning of life
meaningoflife = 42
like sane OS's? Yes, okay, sometimes they're hard to find, but if you want to mimic the "registry" idea, make it standard practice to name them "foobar.ini" and symlink them into a central location.
Why not give users the option to use both?
The dumb thing is pinning a run command to the task bar: this requires both mouse input and keyboard input to do anything. It's far more sensible to use a keyboard shortcut for "run"; I can type alt-f2 (linux) or meta-R (windows) and then a program name and get it without reaching for the mouse.
Good call -- I was using "grandma" as a proxy for "people who aren't that computer-savvy", but I imagine my mother who's in her 60's runs Lubuntu just fine
No -- and, thus, I am not going to like Windows 9. I will hold my nose and use it for a few programs, but Microsoft's agenda is fundamentally incompatible with making the sort of OS I want to use.
What's your litmus test on Windows 9?
I want an OS that:
1) Doesn't attempt to hide the workings of my computer from me -- in particular, don't hide the way that paths and directories really work. (As a bonus: remove the spaces from system directories, dammit, because I get real tired of escaping them when I access my NTFS partition from a real OS.)
2) When something goes wrong tell me what the fuck it was. "The internet connection has limited connectivity" doesn't tell me a damn thing. "DHCP timeout" tells me something. Include both messages, by all means, for the benefit of Grandma -- but Grandma likely can't fix her internet connection on her own anyway.
3) Don't be patronizing. Copying
4) Get rid of file locking, or at least allow an override. I can decide whether a file is sufficiently "in use" that I shouldn't delete it.
5) Don't attempt to push other MS products (cloud services, "stores", and the like) on me, and don't keep spewing Windows Media Player etc. icons around after I delete them once.
Is that $3 to replace a scratched screen, including all the AR coatings? At that price they might as well include three spare glass plates with every phone in case you scratch one.
As far as the rounded glass: I had a Nexus 3 with a curved screen and it was a good idea -- wish they still did that more.
Any program which runs right is obsolete.

As anyone who's spent time around alcoholics is aware, "I know my limits," is secret code for, "I'm gonna get tore up and ain't nobody gonna stop me." Now, I'm not saying Hit-Boy has a drinking problem but, if his latest feature is any indication, it's a very brave (or very stupid) individual who tries to get between the rapper/producer and his liquor once he's had a few.

In addition to label signees Audio Push, Compton-based buzzmaker Problem and Bandz a Make Her Dance hitmaker Juicy J jump aboard to deliver some raucous guest bars over the headliner's club-ready boardwork.

This year the seminar was organized by Robert Klinzmann.
What is mathematical finance? - by Peter Bell.
Basics of Mathematical Finance will be presented using concepts from probability. Risk measu res and option replication strategies will be introduced, which allow the introduction of fundamental theorems of asset pricing. Brief results from the author's research concerning regularity of profits under technical trading rules will be also presented.
When is an infinitesimal isometry on a Hermitian manifold holomorphic? - by Kael Dixon.
I will present this open problem in complex geometry via the example of a Hopf surface. This is (roughly) the only compact Hermitian surface that admits infinitesimal isometries which are not holomorphic, and it exhibits some interesting behaviour which is indicative of some known results in higher dimensions. This talk will not require very much knowledge of differential geometry, with most of the discussion on the more intuitive level of group actions by Lie groups.
