Recently, the BlackBerry Q10 has been making waves as a revamped and refreshed BlackBerry prototype, and more. Now a contender comes in the form of the recently announced Nokia Asha 210, a budget phone that dabbles in the keyboarded phones segment.
See which ones wins you over in this face-off of the keyboards that's about to get physical.
BlackBerry Q10
At first glance, it's easy to assume that the Q10 is just a slightly refreshed version of the keyboarded BlackBerry Bold or Curve.
But even when it doesn't have a breakthrough design, the fact that the Q10 was able to retain the QWERTY physical keyboard, it's a very aesthetically improved design that brings back the allure of the keypad.
According to ABC News, what makes the design unique is that it was able to retain the size of the original BlackBerry, and make the screen 30% larger than previous BlackBerry QWERTY phones. What's more, despite extra space for the screen, the keyboard doesn't suffer--if anything, you get well-spaced and wider keys.
And then there's the body. What supposedly sets the iPhone 5 and the HTC One apart is the aluminum body, but the BlackBerry Q10 is made of a durable, hard-to-scratch, glass-weave that is lighter and stronger than plastic.
Touchscreen & keyboard
The Q10 is also markedly different from previous BlackBerry phones in the sense that it also has a touchscreen.
And combined with the size of the Q10, it makes for a perfect, one-hand swipe and go movement, which is particularly nice on the Super AMOLED 720x720 resolution screen.
What it takes after the Z10
Since it's the keyboarded flagship phone for the BB10, you can expect that there are very similar features with the Z10, among which are the software (though the Q10 has a more advanced BB10.1 OS even before it has already become available for the Z10) and the camera.
The inside is also the same, with the 1.5 GHz Qualcomm MSM 8960 processor and 2GB of RAM, reports EndGadget. But with the more improved OS inside you can expect faster app loading and performance.
When it comes to the battery, Q10 has had an improvement based on the comments made to the Z10. BlackBerry's estimate of the Q10's run is roughly 13.6 hours of 3G talk time, 354 hours of standby, and 9 hours of video, according to TechCrunch, and based on user tests, it does manage to hang in there efficiently.
Nokia Asha 210
Users awaited with bated breath for Nokia's announcement this week, but those who were looking forward to the reveal of the Nokia Lumia 928, instead saw the arrival of the Asha 210, the low budget phone.
In the age of touchscreens and swiping, the Nokia Asha 210 is a rarity akin to the BlackBerry Q10. But it seems that Nokia has a few things up its sleeve and planned out for the Asha 210.
Features: Too backwards for the times
In the time when smartphones are clamoring to outbid each other in features, it's as though Nokia Asha 210 is going for the meager is better approach.
Granted it is a budget phone, but consideringthe 2-megapixelamera, dual SIM capability, social features, and some phone apps for photo editing and file transfer, it's a bit bare for something released in the middle of the smartphone battle, reports GIzmodo.
If anything, it seems that its $70 price tag--plus maybe the many candy color design variants, if you are into dressing up your phone--is the only appealing feature, but what you get doesn't necessarily give you what you want.
The WhatsApp button
If Nokia was gearing up for something breakthrough or original, it did so with the introduction of a dedicated WhatsApp button in its QWERTY keyboard.
According to Digital Trends, WhatsApp is already in the phone allowing the Asha 210 its own messaging faculties similar to the BlackBerry Messenger. As a 2G phone, it can only do so much, but wi-fi capabilities help it plow further.
So the verdict? If you're looking for a quality QWERTY phone, the BlackBerry Q10 is the way to go. You may have to shell out a few more in terms of price, but the features you get are what BlackBerry has been known for--and more.

United by a shared belief that the clothes we wear should carry a story we can be proud of, activists, bloggers, designers, scientists and models have been able to convince big brands including Zara, Mango, Valentino, UNIQLO and H&M to commit to toxic-free fashion. There is still a long way to go, but our successes so far prove that when we work together, big brands are forced to stand up and deliver.

(5.4L V8 Supercharger 6-speed Manual)
2011 Ford Shelby GT500 Coupe 2dr Coupe (5.4L 8cyl S/C 6M)
The sheer power of this car is quite evident once you get enough mileage to get boost from the supercharger. Just a punch of the pedal will have your head instantly pinned against your seat. It is both an angel when handled carefully, and it can be beast when you can handle all of its power, and want to see what it has to offer, I prefer this on the track. I have drag raced the vehicle and it quite fast, thanks to the SVPP (Performance Package) . Without the Speed Limiter, it surely is 180 MPH+ car; I have witnessed this first hand. I also highly recommend the Electronics Package, This makes it a complete package. If you can't handle people staring, then this car may not be for you.
Read the full review
I just traded in my 2009 GT500 for this car, and while there were many similarities, the 2011 w/ SVT package and Electronics package is leaps and bounds ahead of the 2009. At first it was the more European design elements that caught my eye. The meaner cowl, the larger and better designed forged wheels, the sleeker interior. The extra 50 horses aren't bad either! After driving the car, I found it had so many more amenities available from steering wheel controls, to voice activation, to personal climate control, to phone synching, and other personalizing touches with new security and driving modes using the ESC and TC.

The torque will have other drivers watching your rear end. The exhaust sound is almost perfect. Shifting is short-throw and accurate. Stiff suspension. Cornering is good, but not great. You must know how to handle the power, especially on wet pavement or fishtailing will become a way of life. Gas mileage better than I expected. The interior is seriously lacking when compared to the M5 I just traded.

This is truly one great car, the build quality is as good as any car made to date. The interior is so cool, the lighting and gauge coloring is simply fantastic. You can sit in this car for hours in the garage and monkey around with it and have so much fun just doing that. The power is amazing. As soon as the car was broken in and the ECU let the car build boost, I hit the gas doing about 40 mph and I couldn't believe it, the car kicked out side ways but the traction control kicked in and saved my silly butt. I truly love this car. Best purchase I made in a long time.

The Shelby gets noticed. I get lots of long and envious stares by young and old, male and female. The car is easy to drive. You really feel the road and the Shelby takes corners much like a sport's car. The clutch and linkage make for easy shifting and you never feel like you're in the wrong gear. I like the way Ford has upgraded the interior over my 2008 Bullitt. Acceleration is scary and you need to be careful of how and when you use the power. The sound of the engine is cool. My neighbors have commented on how they love the sound when I start it up. I couldn't be happier with the car. It is truly one awesome Mustang.

Just picked it up last night! After some heart pumping freeway action I had to get home. Had a hard time sleeping cause all I wanted to do was get back in and drive.This has been my dream car since I was little & now at 50 I can afford it. Be sure to add the SVT Performance Package well worth it! Smooth ride with all the power you need!
Read the full review
Acceleration and handling are truly amazing. This car is a blast to drive! The exhaust note is intoxicating (who needs a stereo?) and the power when you step on the gas is breathtaking. The front seats are very supportive and comfortable. Ride quality with the svt package is better than I anticipated. Overall fit and finish are very good, not to European standards but very close. The one negative with this car is it attracts a lot of attention from everyone so if you don't like attention this is not the car for you.

Sure is nice to know that it does not get any better than this car. Great power, great quality, and a very fair price.

This is one bad car! You can feel all of the 510 pounds of torque. If your tires don't go up in smoke! This car is so fun to drive, you just don't want to get out of it!

Product description
Few humans have evolved who can survive and thrive in the bitter cold. Below a certain temperature, death is inevitable. This book is about this aspect of our environment and about Sir Ranulph Fiennes' own life experiencing the extreme cold, from his adventuring apprenticeship 40 years ago on the Greenland Ice Cap to masterminding over the past 5 years the crossing of the Antarctic during winter; the 'coldest journey on Earth', where temperatures will regularly plummet to minus 92 * C. Cold has altered history on many great occasions. Hannibal crossed the high Alps under conditions of extreme cold; soldiers of the mighty armies of Hitler and Napoleon died in their thousands on the frozen Russian steppes from frostbite gangrene. In the past 150 years men and women have also seen the cold as a natural challenge as adventurers and explorers from all over the world have attempted to conquer the coldest regions of the globe. Today, parts of the world subject to extreme cold are the focus of intense geopolitical pressure, as President Putin claims Arctic coastal waters to be Russian, in readiness for the predicted melting of sea-ice, sending submarines to plant Russian flags on the seabed as a warning to would-be non-Russian mineral prospectors, and similar claims are made on the Antarctic. And yet a few degrees of climate change in Antarctica could easily trigger the detachment of huge ice sheets which would slide into the Southern Ocean. As sea levels rise some of the biggest coastal cities in the world would be submerged - a catastrophe that would render insignificant the most devastating of past tsunamis. Sir Ranulph Fiennes has spent a lifetime working in conditions of extreme cold - his frostbitten fingers are a testament to the horrors that man can experience in such temperatures, but he also knows that the life he has led owes a great deal to the cold. Both scientifically rigorous, historically questioning and intensely personal, this book is both a warning of the dangers we face with our relationship to the cold and celebration of a life lived in some of the extremist temperatures known to man.

Old Montgomery Ward Machine
Hi to all-
I was perusing this site for the first time this morning to get some ideas/ info on what would be a good machine for my wife. Lots of interesting comments and information.
Strangely enough, while I was out doing errands this afternoon, I saw and old Montgomery Ward sewing machine with a "free" sign on it. It looked pretty clean, and it also had the "cams" for different pattern stitching. Manual too. I spoke with the guy at the house and he said his wife inherited a "better" machine from an aunt, and no longer needed this one.
It seems to work (it runs and the needle goes up and down).
Any ideas as to its age or whether it might be a good machine? It is a model UHTJ1939. Serial number 87B15887. It says "Made in Japan" on the back.
I can't find anything that says something like "made for Montgomery Ward by XXXXX", so I don't know if it's a keeper or not.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Depending on the price that he is selling it for, it is probably worth it if it sews and you wife is not into sewing big time. I have purchase an inexpensive machine thinking that it was worth it from WalMart but "no go". It is cheap and ineffective for what I need and ended up purchasing a much better machine that I am really happy with. Anything free, as far as I'm concerned, can't be too bad! You can always junk it if it doesn't work!
Sit down and get it threaded and see if it sews...then try a cam or two....that is what the instruction book is for...if it works and is FREE ...I'd go for it. I'd hate to end up with a broken down piece of someone else's junk and have to dispose of it....ask if you can try it...what can it cost you besides a bit of time.
sounds like the machine ex-hubby bought me 46 years ago when first daughter was born. I used it a long time but making decorative stiches with those cams is a pain. if it sews and it is what your wife will use, it will be fine.
I got rid of mine years ago. Bought an inexpensive Brother which was always having problems, gave it away and now own a Viking.....which I love.
I have had my old Montgomery Ward machine for over 35 years and still love it. It is FREE, take it home, let your wife see if she can sew with it ok. If she doesn't like it give it to the trash man, a thrift store or put it on your curb with a free sign on it. If she likes it, it is definately a keeper. Mine has been used a ton over the years. No plastic parts to wear out. They are also worth fixing if they do have a minor problem.
Well, I took the machine the day I saw it. My wife tried using a week or so ago. Following the instructions, the bobbin winder wasn't winding the bobbin. A little look at the manual and I removed the top cover. The bobbin winder shaft was stuck- that's why it didn't wind. A drop of light oil on the shaft, spun it for a bit, then reassembled. Worked fine.
My wife just made curtains for the living room on Sunday. Worked fine. This machine does seem to be built well.
She wants to write a thank-you note to the woman that was giving it away.
Happy ending to this story.
Thanks to those that responded.
Ralph, I'm glad your find is a keeper. It would be a good idea to take the machine to a shop for a tune-up. The shop will clean all the parts, lubricate them, adjust tensions and replace any worn-out belts. After the treatment, the machine will be working even better than it does now. Many store-brand machines sold in the US during the fifties and sixties were cast in Nagoya, Japan and their quality still shines.
I'm a newbie on this forum though not a newbie to sewing. I had a Montgomery Ward sewing machine that I bought new in 1975. In 1990 I was deployed to Saudi Arabia, I packed this machine on the truck and took it with my Army Reserve Unit. We used the heck out of it keeping our clothes and uniforms together. I brought it home 6 months later, took it apart, cleaned out the sand, reoiled it and used it for another 6 months till I treated myself to a new machine. It was given to my sister who used it for 5 years and now has been given to my niece who still uses it. I paid a whopping $95 for it in 1975.
Someone gave me and old Montgomery Machine she bought at a tag sale. I took it home cleaned it oiled it (it was a mess), it still didn't work. Finally found out the shaft was on backwards, fixed that now it works like a dream. It only came with one cam, the zig zag one. Would like to have more cams for it. Any ideas on how to get some more cams. Any ideas would be appreciated. It's a Model 1960.
I have a hand me down Montgomery Ward sewing machine. number URR-279 serial number 55X. I am having a problem adjusting the bobbin thread in order to have the underside stitch be even it is too loose. The top stitch on the fabric is perfect. can anyone help. I do not have an owners manual
I obtained one of those free Montgomery Ward sewing machines from the street here in San Francisco. It is Model# UHT J 1429 Serial# 77B. I am looking for an Owners Manual and a Parts/Repair Manual.I have emailed firstname.lastname@example.com but no response as yet.Any suggestions.
Thank you.
My daughter's mother-in-law picked her up a old Montgomery sewing machine from a garage sale that an elderly lady had. It was still in the orginial box. It is pink and works great. I have an older Sears and I took it to have it cleaned one time. The guy told me to be sure and keep this machine because it has very little plastic in it and it was one of the better ones on the market. He said they are putting so much plastic in them now adays and they don't hold up. A friend of mine had an older Sears machine and she bought a new more expensive machine. We bought it for our daughter for $50.00. She uses it all the time. She loves it.. If you pick up the newer machines they are light in weight. Mine is real heavy.. This is always a good sign that it is a good machine..
I had a friend who owned an old Montgomery Ward machine & I used to laugh & tell her I thought it would sew balsa wood! Amazing what that thing would stitch together...an old Army tent, her DH's heavy duty canvas hunting vest, leather shotgun case, etc., then she'd make frilly dresses for her daughter.
I'd say your free one is a keeper!
I have an old model 1950 with instruction book and blue, round cams that have one hole on the side and curvy edges, which may or may not work with the model 1960. I have turned the sewing machine on and it appears to sew. It is on its way to our thrift store this month (August) unless anyone is interested in any or all of this, so please respond soon.
I have a MW model UHT J1276 that I got for free from a neighbor who was moving. I am new to sewing and I think that I need a bobbin in the machine for it to work properly. I am shy one bobbin case for this machine. If anyone has any info for me about this matter I would greatly appreciate it.
Gosh, my mom had a Montgomery Wards machine from before I was born (I'm just about 50)...with the cams and everything. My SIL now has it and says it runs like a champ. She just uses it for repairs and such. The only reason my mom gave it to her DIL was because she got a newer machine (that she says doesn't sew much better).
Is All Brands still in business? I found their catalog from 1998 in a drawer when I was cleaning a few weeks ago. They were a good place to obtain instruction manuals and cams at one time. (www.allbrands.com I believe)
Hi, I have a Montgomery Ward (Signature) machine that was made in the 1960's. I'm trying to remember just how old it is. I seem to remember my mother having it at least by 1964. (She made me a dress for school on it). It is a zig-zag machine and has cams. I do have all the cams, I think (no manual). Does anyone know what model it is and where I might get some attachements for it? It still works perfectly.
Here are some great sites for parts or manuals etc.
to see pictures of different models and to order manuals
another site for parts & manuals
how to fix or repair
hope this will help
I have a montgomery ward sewing machine Model UHTJ-1934 and can find no reference to that model # on any of the parts suppliers. It was made in Taiwan Republic of China. I need a plastic gear that changes the stitch pattern selection. The gear is 7/8th inch in diameter,1/8" wide and fits on a 7/16th " metal adapter with a set screw that fits a 1/4th" shaft.HELP!!!!
I need to find an instruction manual for a Montgomery Ward Sewing machine, Model # UHT-J1984. If anyone has one saved on computer that could be emailed or something, that would be wonderful! I'd be happy to pay postage, if that's only way to obtain it.
Many Thanks!

What to do - cistern full of trash
Wasnt sure where to put this topic - home disasters sounds about right!
I was digging around finding a place to bury my deceased cat and plant a shrub when I found a cistern I didnt know I had. It was like this freakin hole appeared - a part of the round cement cover had broken away.
At first I was excited thinking there might be hidden treasure... or at least some neat rusty old objects I could use as garden art. But no.... The trash starts about 5 feet down and there appears to be a lot of rusted old cans, including some that look suspiciously like paint cans, and unidentifiable disintegrated rusted crap.
As you may know these things are commonly 10 feet deep (or more) and about the same width.
If they threw paint cans down there who knows what all other toxic substances they may have seen fit to throw in.
I should have known - once again the idiot previous owners leave me with yet ANOTHER of their messes to contend with - arghhhh.
Who deals with this stuff - or do I just encase it in cement like Chernobyl and forget about it..
Ive tried calling junk removal companies (not interested in either whats in there and they lack the means of removing it (not safe to go down there - you may sink in and never be heard from again).
As I see it there are two issues invoived - identifying what the stuff is (whether anything toxic or just rusted scrap metal). And then what to do with it!
I understand your concern. In a residential situation it's doubtful there is enough volume of toxic stuff down there to be an environmental disaster.
Probably best to clean it out with machinery - get someone with a small backhoe to scoop it out. Rent a rolloff dumpster and put the stuff in it. It will cost you a few hundred but it'll be done.
There might be some paint residue or whatever in there, but landfilling that kind of stuff is only controlled for businesses. Residences get a pass, although of course it's best to take known hazardous stuff to a haz waste dropoff or recycler.
If anything obvious is found like whole car batteries, pull them out and dispose properly. All the rest of the trash and dirt can go to the landfill. It's lined, and believe me it gets plenty of this crap from everyone else. Not ideal, but it's reality.
Now, if it comes out glowing green and reeking of Love Canal, you might have a different problem, but I doubt it will.
actually, if it's mostly metal like you seem to be saying it is, take the contents to your local scrap yard. If you don't know what *kind* of metals it is, or don't feel like sorting, tin is still going for 9cents a pound. Car batteries are worth about 20 cents a pound, working or not
Is this a cistern...or an old cesspool? That alone might dictate which way to go. The other is whether there is city or well water in the neighborhood - and whether there are any close neighbors.
As a real estate appraiser who has valued several "superfund" sites, environmental issues can and do affect value - big time. I've seen situations so bad that the land - a prime, corner retail site in one case - had a *negative* value about double what the land was worth if free and clear, the cost of mitigation being so high.
As the recipient of such a dubious 'gift' from the previous owners, you may be able to employ the "innocent landowner" defense if things go bad - legal-wise. You might even be able to get the prior owner to pay for the cleanup - but you have to be able to prove the knuckleheads knew about/caused it. I've seen other cases where parties two or more owners back in the chain of title were held legally responsible, but this was with big corporate entities with deep pockets.
You may want to contact an environmental firm and ask for "Phase One" report.
Good luck
The innocent landowner defense to CERCLA only applies if the owner did a Phase 1 *prior* to purchasing and was therefore aware of contamination that was there before they took ownership. But I think this is getting way too far down the road with our poster. It is much more likely it's an old cistern, etc. that they threw trash into. Let's not worry about it becoming a Superfund site just yet!
A Phase 1 will give you property history and ownership, but with a rural residence that's not going to tell you anything about who put what into this thing. The cost of a Phase 1 is a couple thousand dollars, which is enough to pay someone to bring in a backhoe, dig out the trash and haul it to the landfill.
I wonder if our poster will come back and check in...

London to invest $140 million to boost cycling in the 'burbs
Friday, February 27, 2015
Henry Melcher.
As we've been reporting, there are some pretty big urbanism proposals being pushed in London right now. Next month, the city is expected to break ground on a massive cycle superhighway that will give cyclists about 20 miles of new protected bike lanes. Mayor Johnson is also supporting a plan to bury parts of major thoroughfares to boost walkability and development. But now, something even bigger is brewing in the London suburbs.
London expected to break ground on massive "cycle superhighway"
Monday, February 2, 2015
Henry Melcher.
London is ready to one-up its bike-friendly European neighbors by building the longest, continuous protected cycleway on the continent. Mayor Boris Johnson has been emphatically endorsing the plan that would create two "superhighways" of bi-directional, curb protected bike lanes. The longer of the two paths would run 18 miles, past some of London's most iconic sites.
Montreal to transform expressway into multi-modal urban boulevard
Monday, December 29, 2014
Henry Melcher.
Urbanists rejoice! Montreal will tear down a major piece of one of its expressways and replace it with a multi-modal urban boulevard complete with parks, dozens of new trees, bike lanes, dedicated bus lanes, a dog park, and art installations. The Montreal Gazette reported that crews will start dismantling the city's Bonaventure Expressway this spring, and that the entire $141.6 million project should wrap up as soon as 2017.
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh up their bike game
Tuesday, November 25, 2014
Henry Melcher.
With bikeshare launching in Philadelphia next year, Mayor Nutter is taking significant steps toward boosting cycling throughout the city. NewsWorks reported that the mayor recently signed an executive order to create the Philadelphia Bicycle Advocacy Board, which will advise him on implementing smart bike policy. This would include "[fostering] volunteer efforts that promote cycling and maintain cycling trails; encourage private sector support of cycling, especially among Philadelphia employers; and promote national and international races in Philadelphia to attract the most elite cyclists to compete in the city."
Mayor de Blasio signs legislation to lower New York City's default speed limit
Tuesday, October 28, 2014
Henry Melcher.
Mayor Bill de Blasio has signed legislation to lower New York City's default speed limit from 30 miles per hour to 25. The measure was recently passed by the City Council and is one of the central policy pieces of Vision Zero—the mayor's plan to eliminate traffic fatalities in the city.
Five new apps put urban planning at your fingertips
Wednesday, September 3, 2014
Henry Melcher.
In the age of apps, we have seen basic human activities like eating, dating, shopping, and exercising be condensed into simple swipes and clicks. It's a brave new world and one that has folded-in the complex process of financing, developing, and designing new projects. And in recent years, there has been a batch of new apps designed to help planners, architects, cities, and the general public create more livable cities. Here are a few of those apps that caught AN's attention. Read More
Victory in Round 3 for Los Angeles' MyFigueroa Streetscape Project
Wednesday, July 2, 2014
Anna Bergren Miller.
After four years of stops and starts, MyFigueroa, the $20 million proposal to transform Los Angeles' Figueroa Corridor from a regional throughway to a bike- and pedestrian-friendly destination, appears to be moving ahead. Overseen by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) with design assistance from Melendrez, Troller Mayer Associates, and Gehl Architects, MyFigueroa will add separated cycle tracks or buffered bike lanes, bike racks, and improved transit shelters, lighting, and landscaping to 4.5 miles of streets between LA Live and Exposition Park.
NYC Transportation Head Outlines Priorities For Building Infrastructure & Public Space
Wednesday, June 18, 2014
Henry Melcher.
At a recent transportation forum hosted by the New York Building Congress, New York City Transportation Commissioner, Polly Trottenberg, laid-out her agenda for the city's streets. She said implementing Mayor de Blasio's Vision Zero plan to reduce traffic fatalities remains the department's first priority, but made clear that, under her leadership, the NYCDOT will be doing more than safety upgrades.
Trottenberg praised her predecessor, Janette Sadik-Khan, for "cracking some eggs" and fighting for bike lanes, bikeshare, Select Bus Service, and pedestrian plazas when it was not politically popular to do so. She explained that Sadik-Khan's commitment to these types of programs—and the Bloomberg administration's ability to realize them—makes her job that much easier. The challenge now is keeping up with the demand for new public space.
Motor City's first buffered bike lanes planned for Midtown
Wednesday, June 18, 2014
Chris Bentley.
Given the severity and number of challenges facing Detroit, streetscape improvements might not seem like a very high priority. But in the Motor City's Midtown, one of the city's relatively resurgent neighborhoods, a local planning non-profit is betting that encouraging more bicyclists and pedestrians will be a boon for the area. As a result, Detroit may soon get its first buffered bike lanes. Between Temple Street and Warren Avenue, Midtown's 2nd Avenue is the target of a substantial road diet, as first reported by ModeShift. Read More
Work to begin on Cincinnati's Central Parkway bike path
Wednesday, May 7, 2014
Chris Bentley.
Cyclists in Cincinnati will soon have a separated bike lane along Central Parkway—a major connector between neighborhoods including Downtown, the West End, and Over-the-Rhine—following a narrow City Council vote last week. Read More
New York City's Bike Infrastructure Growing and Improving
Wednesday, May 7, 2014
Henry Melcher.
New York City's bike infrastructure is expanding into new territory with new greenways connecting the city in a web of safer transportation options. And as it does, the Department of Transportation is working to significantly improve the bike lanes that already exist.
Before & After> Gustafson Guthrie Nichol Imagines a Pedestrian-Friendly Seattle
Wednesday, April 16, 2014
The Editors.
The streets of downtown Seattle are set for a major overhaul, thanks to a new masterplan by Gustafson Guthrie Nichol. As AN reported in our recent West Coast edition, the Seattle-based firm has made recommendations to improve the pedestrian realm "centers on uniting the fragmented parts of the Pike-Pine corridor, two major thoroughfares at the heart of the retail core running east-west from Interstate 5 to the waterfront."
Check out their dramatic proposed transformations overlayed on Seattle's existing streetscape for a better look at how pedestrians and cyclists will fare under the plan.

What's it like to be a family caregiver if you're Hispanic or African American and your loved one has been hospitalized? "Invisible" is one of the words used to describe the experience. "Unprepared" for the enormous responsibilities (injections, tube feedings, wound care, complicated medical issues) post-hospital could be another. To compile the report, "Meeting the Needs of Diverse Caregivers," just out from the AARP Public Policy Institute, researchers spoke with Hispanics (both English and Spanish speaking) and African Americans as well …

For the first time in U.S. Census Bureau history, white births are no longer a majority. In the year that ended last July, non-Hispanic whites accounted for just 49.6 percent of American births, while minorities""including Hispanics, blacks, Asians and those of mixed race""accounted for 50.4 percent. The demographic shift is playing out differently across the states; white births remain the majority in many areas. In others, however, there's a growing gap between the ethnic and racial makeup of older and younger Americans.

Severed Tendon
I broke my wrist this winter and when the cast came off I find part of my thumb doesn't work. Dr. figures the tendon is severed at the base of my thumb so I an waiting for appt, with specialist.
There are people that tell me their or someone's horror experience and they are scaring me. Stuff like the tendons die back,,,if the can find the other part to hook it up...waited too long...to late...on and on.
Is there anyone here that works in the medical profession that can give me some true info. and what I might expect to get the use of my thumb back.
I'd be looking for a lawyer about now.
Why didn't they see that before you were cast??
Yes....what they say is pretty well the way it is. If a tendon is severed, in a matter of hours it begins to retreat up the arm ( or where ever) and surgery is required to find it and pull it down and re attach and it will require lots of PT and you can only hope to get full use of your thumb back.
You should NOT be waiting for an appointment with a specialist....you should be demanding to see someone tomorrow.
Time is of the essence...Tell your doctor you need to see a specialist this week...and then call one your self if he doesn't refer you.
Linda C
Thanks for your reply Linda. Well it is 8 weeks since the accident so what is a couple more now. It is just part of my thumb that doesn't work (last two joints) but I have feeling and my tendons aren't dead I can assure you because trying to make the thumb works puts pain up nearly to my elbow.
My Dr did say I don't know if it can be fixed...I kinda freaked and he sent an urgent fax!!! The way my wrist looked I'm lucky it is not worse. The palm of my hand was almost touching my forearm and then my fingers were poking out everywhere...very gross.
I was wondering if the tendon could be pinched vs torn because it hurts so much to force movement? I did read they can do a scope of a wrist like a knee so maybe that will be done...is that a bad thing to have? I like to sew and do needlework so this thumb thing has me down.
I severed the tendon in my thumb using a quilter's rotary cutter. I had out-patient surgery to repair it one week later. What I didn't know at the time was that the blade also sliced into the joint capsule around the ligaments that attach the bones at the joint. I had PT and my thumb is about 95% of normal due to scar tissue in the joint (otherwise the injury is not noticeable).
Two weeks CAN make a difference in your condition -- don't be timid and passive about this. Did you tell the specialist of your condition and that you need an appointment much sooner? If not, then please do so!

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Paul McCartney made his first visit to the one-time home of the King of Rock 'N' Roll and left a gift behind.
According to the official Twitter account of the former Beatle, McCartney dropped a personal guitar pick on Elvis Presley's grave and said it was "so Elvis can play in heaven."
The lifelong Elvis fan toured Graceland, the Memphis mansion, on Sunday.
He was in Memphis to play a show on the North American leg of his "Out There" tour.
The show at FedExForum marked McCartney's first visit to the city in two decades.

Great food in the area there, by far the best sushi I've had in the state. Also a place downtown that makes great pizza that has something like 60 beers on tap. I'm trying to remember the name but the beer list was impressive if you're into that. Cost of living isn't too bad, probably a bit less then here in the Triangle although IIRC wages aren't as high either. Scenic place to live to be sure, and there's some skiing in the area... even though it's rather mediocre skiing.
as for the cons, there's not much of a nightlife in the town from what I remember my one semester there. Not a lot of sports either, with the Asheville Aces of the SPHL being the only local team I can think of. Charlotte has the ECHL. As you mentioned, politics. Although there's a fairly significant conservative community there too, they tended to be a tad too right wing for my tastes. Old school Republicans and a large hippie community made for an interesting mix at election time to say the least.
If a local sports team and a big time bar scene isn't a big thing for you then it's a great place to live IMO.

systems in operational use today are the product of years of heuristic-based advances. Development of the protection materials used in these systems is coupled only loosely to armor system design, with the coupling taking the form of inferred desired properties. The current paradigm of material and system development can be characterized as a design-make-test-redesign-repeat … iterative loop. The time and expense involved in such an approach limit the number of optimization iterations and slow the advance of new material systems that could provide the needed protection with reduced areal density.
The current paradigm and the research programs and organizations that support it are not sufficient to accelerate advances in lightweight protection materials. New research initiatives, organizational structures, and implementation approaches will be needed to increase the rate of progress.
The committee concludes that the ability to design and optimize protection material systems can be accelerated and made more cost effective by operating in a new paradigm for lightweight protection material development (Figure 6-2). In this new paradigm, the current armor system design practice is replaced by rapid iterations of modeling and simulation, with ballistic evaluation used selectively to verify satisfactory designs. Strong coupling with the materials research and development community is accomplished through canonical models that translate armor system requirements (which are often classified) into characterizations, microstructures, behaviors, and deformation mechanisms that an open research community can use. The principal objective of this new paradigm is to enable the design of superior materials and to accelerate their implementation in armor systems. The new paradigm will build on the multidisciplinary collaboration concepts and lessons from other applications documented in Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME),1 which cites many advances and several examples of successful implementation. It advocates pushing the large body

The Securities and Exchange Commission will use formal enforcement action more against financial advisors and brokers who make minor violations of securities rules, Chairman Mary Jo White says. "Minor violations that are overlooked or ignored can feed bigger ones and, perhaps more importantly, can foster a culture where laws are increasingly treated as toothless guidelines," she said.

Let's get one thing straight right off the bat – if you don't have much patience, don't play this game. For every level you breeze through (which won't be many) there are several that will cause you to tear your hair out. Granted you could do just enough to simply pass each level, but if you're one of those types that like to go for the gold in every game be prepared to spend a considerable amount of time on some of these boards. Okay, that's it for the disclaimer.

I have exercised consistently for more than 20 years, especially with weights. One thing I've learned is that if you want to get results and keep them, you need to adopt and stick to a structured plan. A personal trainer is really the best way to get on the right track and stay there, but not everyone has access to that kind of resource (never had one, myself). A motivated and knowledgeable training partner is nearly as good, if not better in some cases. With a plan and a partner, now all you need is a way to journal and track your workouts. If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, Pushing Weight makes it pretty simple to plan and keep track of your pump!

The 3G brings speed,assisted GPS, and a new low price to Apple's smart phone platform. And while the hardware has definitely been improved, it's the OS 2.0 and software suite that is truly revolutionary."
In iPhone 3G S and OS 3.0, we take a first look at the new 3G S. Resting in your hand, it looks pretty much like the 3G, but in this case, looks are deceiving. The iPhone 3G S sports a faster processor, better battery life, a 3 megapixel camera, enhanced 3D graphics, and a variety of other improvements. Best of all, it's claimed to be twice as fast as the 3G.

No contracts, no subsidized phones. You simply buy a SIM card and put it in your phone. You can even buy SIM cards at kiosks in airports and on the street.

This is ridiculous!

What are our government agencies for? EPA, DNR, DAQ? If they don't follow the environmental limits as specified by the ruling agencies, they will be shut down. What's the big deal? PPD is more of an environmental disaster than Titan. Titan - 400 employees; PPD - 2000 employees. That is 1600 more humans consuming and polluting than Titan will have. Try to use your brains people. I know that is difficult with a government provided education. Get over it!
