Today's guest post is written by Anne Weiskopf. A little more than a week ago, I wrote about the discount chain Loehmanns, sharing wonderful childhood memories of shopping with my mother. The intent was to let them know their direct marketing efforts (which I continue to receive) only serve to remind me, a long time loyal customer, that I can no longer take advantage of their [&hellip...

Measuring the return-on-investment for paid, earned, and owned media is not an easy task. When I started my career, we measured media impressions and advertising equivalency.

10What can I say? West Coast meets East Coast! Dr. Eric is awesome. Even better looking in person, not that it really matters! :) Why go to a regular masseur when you can get bodywork from someone like Eric who is trained in and combines modalities of chiropractic and massage?? He also gives a great spa like massage. I like to get a combination. Speaking of combinations, he's a great combination of consummate mature professional and muscled school boy charm. I went with tension in my neck, low back and legs. Dr. Eric knew all the spots (guess they are pressure points) to hit. What a great session. He's so calming, caring and un-hurried. He's a great listener too. Told him things about me that I didn't even know about myself. Such a rare find in this city. He is the real deal. I cannot wait for my next appointment. Wish my schedule didn't require so much travel-I'd be even more of a regular. Male massage review by jeff (1 review)

10I originally called Eric many months ago because I had a severe low back spasm. Usually when I get one of these I'm out of commission for weeks. After a session with Eric, I immediately felt better and was back to normal in a few days. He's a miracle worker! I travel a lot for work and split my time between NY and LA – all that travel takes a toll on my body. I'm grateful Eric is around to fix me everytime I'm in NYC! I've been seeing massage therapists for over 20 years, Eric is by far the most knowledgeable and skillful of anyone I've been to. Male massage review by Jay (1 review)Masseur Remarks:
thank you Jay, always a pleasure to help you!

10I have seen Eric twice. He is a nice guy... very cute. But more important than he looks are his brains and ability. My back has been giving me problems for years... (thanks to my motorcycle accidents, pins and plates in my ankle and a few blown disks). His massages were unlike any that I had had before... they were almost scientific... it was as though he had analyzed my "back problem" and was doing exactly what needed to be done to help heal it... and then he gave me some exercises to do to help strengthen my lower back... he is studying to be a chiropractor and will be a great one... Male massage review by robert (1 review)

10A while back, after any months of physical therapy, I had come to accept the arthritis in my hip as something to be controlled with medication and ice. That belief lasted until Eric worked on me. In fact, I offered to write this testimonial because I have been so impressed. I first met Eric through his website out of desperation. The arthritis in my hip became seriously inflamed when exercising and I was about to go on a guided trip to Peru that involved a lot of hiking. At that moment, I was taking taxis for even short distances because the pain was so great, I didn't have time for the very slow process of physical therapy, so I took a chance I have had a wide variety of body work in my many many years of growth and development and was able to recognize Eric's skill from the beginning. This was fortunate since it took a four sessions before I felt real relief and was able to hike the many steps and levels of ancient Peru without any pain. When I learned that he was in part using rolfing techniques that he was soon to accredited it, I promised to be his first client. While I had shied away from rolfing in the past because of its reputation for being painful, the discomfort from his rolfing was never any worse than the pain I was already receiving from the misuse of my body. During the ten sessions, he did a major realignment in my posture and the way I walked. I noticed many changes during the session, but I wasn't prepared for the change I noticed a few months afterwards. I had learned to put ice on my hip the night after working out in the gym. I would occasionally forget, but then I would be reminded by pain while walking in the day following. On that day a few months after the rolfing, I realized that I hadn't used ice the night before and my hip was great. Not only that, but I realized that I hadn't used ice for at least a few weeks. I was taking my pain free walking as normal. I know that no one has found a way to remove years from your life, but this is the closest I know of to feeling 10 years younger.

February 17, 2007
10I called 2 days in advance, because I could tell he probably had a busy practice from his ad. He was very professional and incredibly knowledgeable. I was very impressed with his credentials and expertise. He was also very personable, and quite cute! (his pictures don't do him justice) ;-) I called him because of a chronic rotator cuff problem and tight upper back. I felt much better after I left. I've never been to anyone who has helped me as much as Eric did. Thankyou! Male massage review by Mark (1 review)

My bounding box is $locations = '55.67,-4.66,56.17,-3.892540'; Does anyone know how to get the correct bounding box? If these are correct, then is there another explanation for what might be happening? Thanks!

Disease resistant tomatoe question
I've been doing some investigation over the past few days into disease resistant tomatoes. It appears that they really do reduce the incident of late blight,etc. My question to those on this forum is; How do they taste? Thanks for your reply. It appears that defiant. Jasper, Iron Lady, Mountain magic/merit are the more popular varieties.
I think you might mean Early Blight rather than Late Blight? Any resistance to Late Blight is difficult to document although I know some claim it.
Mountain Magic is the only one I have tried of your list and while it might be a bit more tolerant of EB and Septoria IME it isn't actually resistant. And since it develops anyway I find I'd rather have a better tasting, larger fruit. I wasn't impressed with the size or the flavor personally. It tastes like a store-bought tomato plus it is a very small fruit.
Previous reviews of Mountain Merit here don't seem to praise it especially either.
Check out Cornell University research paper- Managing late blight in tomato and potato- An essential part of gardening.
www.longislandhort.cornell.edu/vegpath/late. Check out Cornell chronicle as well on Iron Lady tomatoes. http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/2013/03/ready-plant-iron-lady-tomato-punches-out-blights
There are other articles that support this position, however I am certainly not an expert, just looking for answers too

Comfortable, short sleeve white tee from Sanctify. In grey images, there is a man wrestling on the back of a lion. Stamped over the image in orange is a cross showing the power that God gives us through a relationship with Him. The bible tells us in 1 Peter 5:8, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." As long as you are united with Christ, you have His power to keep the devil under your feet!Item No: 11600
Sanctify clothing brand was created for the glorification of God. In our world, there are so many lines of clothing promoting drugs, sex, violence, alcohol, bad language, and simply evil. Sanctify t-shirts are for those who want to make a positive difference in life. It is not only trying to do "good" and to help those around us, but by living life for God. May God bless you and may you bring joy to the kingdom of Heaven.
"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians 5:23

"A Mile High, An Inch Deep"
While it's the Democratic Convention this week in Denver, some big-name Republicans are in the Mile High City to cast doubt on Barack Obama's ability to lead the country.
Former Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney was at his party's "Rapid Response Headquarters" just about a mile from the arena where the Democrats are conducting their business.
Romney seemed to slip easily into the attack-dog role. "Barack Obama is a charming and fine person—a lovely family—but he's not ready to be President of the United States of America." The former governor of Massachusetts, predictably, pointed to John McCain as someone who does have that experience.
Obama typically has responded to statements like this by saying experienced political leaders got the U-S into the Iraq War and it's the quality of a leader's judgment that counts.
After Romney, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is expected in Denver Wednesday. Then it's Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty on Thursday. All three have been mentioned as potential vice president picks for John McCain. Could they be auditioning for the job?

The reason for coming up with new Brokerage plan is due to stiff competion amoung brokerage houses and ICICI securities loosing its market share due to high brokerage. If one looks at flat brokerage rate offered by other brokerage houses even 0.55% flat brokerage offered by ICICI direct is still on the higher side. Well on tiered rate plan ...I-Saver (Slabwise brokerage based on transaction volume/Turnover) one needs to clearly understand the underlying facts very clearly which are overlooked by most of the people. In this plan ICICI direct has smartly created a slab wise brokerage plan which depends on your turnover of the transaction volument within one quarter. But on the transaction which are being done in that quarter it always charges you brokerage as per highest brokerage slab(0.75%) even for a single day transactions even if it fits in the lower brokerage slab(say 0.55%). By doing this ICICI direct is not only enjoying on the excess brokerage that they are charging their customer(for no reason) but also not paying any interest on the excess amount charged for the said period. Well, therefore be careful in case you are dealing with ICICI direct as they are still charging you higher brokerage upfront in I-Saver Brokerage plan.

Nuclear waste is regularly and safely carried by train in other countries.

Uh who do you think manages the interstate highway system that (I assume) you drive on?
Local, not federal, government pays for it... with your money (taxes).
Who hands out disability and unemployment checks if you happen to be disabled or unemployed?
Again, that's done through taxes. So who is responsible for disability and unemployment checks? The employed.
Who prevents people like putin or ISIL from coming to your backyard and proclaiming it part of a Russian/Islamic state?
Is this a joke, or are you being serious right now? I would ask if you are a routine watcher of FOX "news" but we already know the answer to that.
You really have to be a true idiot if you think government is only screwing over its citizens. For a true example of a government screwing over the populace I welcome you to get the hell out and try living in another country.
Welp, can't argue with that logic. You've turned me. I absolutely must completely agree with everything the federal government says now, as they cannot possibly do any wrong. In fact, I suggest we start by increasing the amount of illegal spying done on citizens by the government! It's for our own good, right? Abandoning the constitution makes me a patriot now, right?
You can't just dump spent LWR fuel into a fast reactor - the concentration of fissile material is far too low for it to go critical.
Reprocessing's been done, but it's quite messy and there's no demand for the recovered fuel. Making MOX is much more difficult and expensive than making standard uranium fuel. It's cheaper, easier and probably safer to just store the spent fuel in dry casks until a suitable disposal site is found. Fortunately, those casks last a long time.
The major difference between bonds and bond traders is that the bonds will eventually mature.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thorough introduction to avalanche theory.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Avalanche Handbook (Paperback)
For backcountry enthusiasts with a science background, this book provides a thorough introduction to avalanche theory. The book is divided into chapters which build a solid foundation (weather systems, snow structure) through snowpack basics (snow strength and deformation, snowpack structure) and well into more advanced concepts (snowpack analysis, avalanche prediction, search and rescue, and even control with explosives, etc.) It is an excellent, if heavy, read and I found it a valuable resource in the development of an intro avalanche course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recomended reading,
Sinbad (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Backcountry Snowboarding (Paperback)
Few books have been written on the subject of backcountry snowboarding, but thankfully this book covers pretty much everything you would want to know for starting up backcountry snowboarding.
The author (Chris Van Tilburg) has produced an excellent guide to this sport which is educational, intersting and inspirational. His writing style is easy to read, but gives the reader lots of detailed information on a variety of topics from avalanche dangers to snow conditions and types, equipment, route finding, building snow shleters, boards and personal safety beyond the limits of the resort area.
The text is peppered with some great full colour photos, and short real life experiences of the author which make for some good reading. The author is obviously very experienced and loves the backcountry and his enthusiam for the montains rubs off on the reader.
Overall a brilliant book, which will get any snowboarder fired up about backcountry riding. Anyone looking to head out of a resort will find this book a very interesting read.

5.0 out of 5 stars AKA. The 'magnum opus' of avalanche books,
Depthhoar (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Avalanche Handbook (Paperback)
Gives the complete avalanche story. A thorough, detailed tome that makes more sense once you've read other avalanche books. It fills in the little but important details that lesser volumes mention in passing. Critical reading for all avalanche professionals in the English-speaking world; this is the one that you have to read before embarking on hard-edged vocational avalanche qualifications. There are more accessible books on avalanches but none as complete. Definitely a book you study rather than read; a bit 'chewy' at times, so caveat emptor. Highly recommended.

This review is from: The Avalanche Handbook (Paperback)
Excellent book, havnt read through yet but gives the impression that it covers everything in full academic detail- its been revised over and over since the 1940s. Interesting pictures of snow formations too! If you want to go beyond just being a tourist and actually understand the environment you are skiing / snowboarding in then this is the book.

Mucca Pazza
Mucca Pazza is the marching band that thinks it's a rock 'n roll band. The group is a collection of shameless band nerds wielding instruments of incongruous traditions, sometimes in competition, often in cooperation. Many of them played in traditional marching bands in high school. Others wanted to but couldn't because they played violin or accordion, and no one had yet come up with the amplified helmet. With speakers strapped firmly to heads, their rambunctious live show has brought them to such acclaimed venues as the Late Show with Conan O'Brien, Lollapalooza, and a fleet of canoes floating down the Chicago River.
Their music skips from genre to unnameable genre, never settling in one place for long, but held together by the band's unmistakable sound and irresistible energy. To their credit, they only have one march in their original repertoire, their other music includes zombie-mambo, snake-charmer-metal, gypsy-reggaeton, punk-classical, and some demented arrangements of Dmitri Shostakovich, Bela Bartok, and famed Egyptian composer Kemal El Tawil.
"Any band that can get a crowd of 700, the majority of which have never heard of them, dancing, pogoing, screaming and beaming in a span of 10 minutes definitely has a good thing going. Mucca Pazza managed to reach those and teh frat boys, the soccer moms, the cowboys, the gangstas, and everyone in between." --Arizona Daily Star
M.A.K.U. Soundsystem
Comprised of 8 members, hailing mostly from Colombia, M.A.K.U. SoundSystem makes big music that begins in traditional Afro-Colombian rhythms and ends somewhere in the punk-jazz stratosphere. Clarinet, trombone, sax, guitarra, and Latin percussion supplement a rambunctious, driving rock core, creating a sound familiar enough to be danceable but always surprising.

Seniors have tax advantage
Growing older may not be cause for celebration, but if a taxpayer was born in 1947 and turned 65 last year, there's one bit of good news: he or she qualifies for an additional exemption from ad valorem taxes assessed to property they own.
The state of Mississippi offers all eligible taxpayers a regular exemption from ad valorem taxes – with limits. The exemption is limited to the first $7,500 of assessed value of the property, but it is capped at a maximum of $300.

Researchers at IMEC have produced an 8-bit microprocessor that runs at 2.1 kHz. That is not a typing error for GHz; 2.1 kHz is a breakthrough speed in this instance because the transistors that make up the processor's logic are entirely fabricated in low-temperature organic materials. Possible areas of application include high-volume printing of RFID tags.
Belgium's Holst Centre, IMEC and their partner Evonik have fabricated a general-purpose 8-bit microprocessor using complementary thin-film transistors (TFTs) processed at temperatures up to 250 °C, compatible with plastic foil substrates. The "hybrid" technology integrates two types of semiconductors – metal-oxide for n-type TFTs (from materials companies iXsenic and Evonik) and organic molecules for p-type TFTs – in a CMOS microprocessor circuit, operating at a clock frequency unprecedented for TFT technologies of 2.1kHz. The results were published online in Scientific Reports.

New 3,2" and 3,5" displays from company 4D Systems intended for Raspberry Pi are able to make a complete standalone system from this microcomputer.
Graphic output is always beneficial, enabling to use embedded microcomputer as a user interface (HMI) or at least to display various variables etc. There are many ways to reach it, but probably the most desirable solution would be to connect a display and nothing to solve.
New graphic modules 4DPi-32 and 4DPi-35 belong right to this group of ideal solutions, as they´re directly designed for Raspberry Pi (A,B, B+) – electrically and mechanically, while the I/O connector remains still available.
Simplicity of usage is empowered by a fact, that they don´t require (external) power supply, as they´re powered from the computer itself. Communication is done through a high speed 48 MHz SPI connection. Speed of a built-in processor enables displaying of pictures and videos with up 25 fps speed (even more if images can be compressed). Resistive touch panel enables operation of the whole system without a mouse.
As for the size, there´s only a small difference between 4DPi-32 a 4DPi-35 modules – the biggest difference is in resolution 480 x 320 px (4DPI-35) vs. 320×240 px (4Dpi-32). Both displays display GUI (primary) output of the Raspberry Pi – the same as if we had a monitor connected.
These novelties are already our stable stock item. Detailed information will provide you the 4DPi-32 and 4DPi-35 datasheets.

An Arduino pulse sensor project from Bajdi:
I found a little heart rate sensor @ ICstation. It is a clone of the open hardware pulse sensor. The sensor is well documented, and it comes with Arduino and Processing example code.
To try it out I connected the sensor to an ATmega328 running at 3.3V and loaded the example Arduino code. I could now see my heart beat on the Arduino serial monitor
I then connected a 2.2″ TFT display to the Arduino and tried to figure out how to display the sensor output on it. Sounds simple but unfortunately it isn't. Updating the full screen (320×240 pixels) is really slow. So I needed some smarter code to update only the pixels that needed to change. I happened to stumble on Matthew McMillans blog, he wrote some smart code to use a similar display as a speedometer. So I borrowed some of his code and mixed it with the example code of the pulse sensor. You can see the result in the above video.

At this week's IEDM 2014, held in San Francisco, California, nanoelectronics research center imec demonstrated an ultra-low power RFID transponder chip. Operating at sub 1V voltage and realized in thin-film transistor technology (TFTs) on plastic film, the chip paves the way for universal sensing applications, such as item level RFID tagging, body area networks (BAN) and environmental monitoring, that require prolonged remote autonomy, and ultimate thinness, flexibility and robustness.
One of the major drivers of the semiconductor industry is the Internet of Things (IoT). Market studies envision a society where billions of autonomous sensor nodes are seamlessly integrated into objects, in the environment and on human bodies, operating independently for months, interacting with each other and connecting to the internet. This IoT is expected to improve and enhance daily-lives through smart houses and smart cars, personal health monitoring and much more.

While TFTs have been the mainstay of displays for years, OLEDs are becoming more prevalent as their price drops due to the phenomenal increase in quality from TFT to OLED technology. We received this demo board from Newhaven that effectively illustrates side by side the differences between TFT and OLED technology, using a 1.69 inch 160 x 128 OLED display and a 1.8 inch 160 by 128 TFT display.

LG Display has an excellent article on how they build TFT LCD displays:
Ever wondered how the TV and monitor displays you use every day work? The TFT-LCD manufacturing process consists of a set of processes for producing TFT, color filtering, cell, module and others. LG Display Newsroom gives a detailed, but easy to follow explanation of the entire steps below.
Let's take a closer look at the production process for a TFT board, the bottom-most layer of an LCD panel. The image above depicts a TFT board, which consists of rows of small rectangular sections that together resembles a chessboard. Each rectangular section is a pixel, and each pixel contains a transistor that controls its function. The TFT process is the process that builds these transistors on top of a glass substrate.

You may be familiar with a website in the UK called Colour Clock (http://thecolourclock.co.uk/) which converts the time into a hex value and then uses that value to update the background color. It's very hypnotic and once you get used to how it works you can actually tell where you are in the day just by glancing at the screen from across the room.
I had an Arduino Uno R3 and an Adafruit 1.8″ Color TFT Shield w/microSD and Joystick that I was trying to use for another project that kept stalling out. One night just for fun I decided to see if I could recreate the Colour Clock and it only took a couple hours. If you're familiar with Arduino you could easily swap parts out for a simple TFT breakout board and something tiny like a Beetle and make a very compact unit. You could even wear it as a badge.

Built on the basis of Arduino UNO, GPS, SD card, TFT, GPS map navigation system is to obtain the real-time position information via GPS, to send it to UNO for calculation, according to the calculating results, and teamed up with the
map file stored in SD card, thus presenting the position on TFT. The GPS system, owing the function to store the current position information, can be applied to running positioning and to record the running tracing.

herpderp shares his waveform generator:
Here is my last project, a tiny waveform generator based on my previous project and some components:
– An AD9834 (DDS chip with sinus/triangle output)
– 2 x AD5310 (10bit DAC: one for the Vpp control, another one the offset control)
– 3 x LM7171 (Fast OPA)
– 3 x LT1616 (switching regulator: +5V, +7V, -7V)
This waveform generator is directly powered by a standard 12V jack and is capable of outputting a 10Vpp signal at 1MHz (between -5V and +5V, sinus waveform, no load). Above 1MHz, the output starts fading, reaching only 9Vpp at 4MHz (maximal frequency). Frequency, amplitude and offset are digitally controlled through the smart TFT.
Three "basic" waveforms are provided: sinus and triangle, coming from the DDS chip (0.1Hz to 4MHz, 0.1Hz step), and PWM coming from the microcontroller (0.1Hz to 1MHz, variable steps).

AirAsia Plane Carrying 162 Lost; 3rd Malaysia Airline Shock
Unlock your personal NFL Now stream by signing in to NFL.com
Stanley Fischer was sworn in as vice chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve and Lael Brainard took the oath of office to join the central bank's board of governors, the Fed announced on Monday. Current Fed board member Jerome Powell was sworn in to a new 14-year term. Brainard, a former top Treasury official, and Fischer, a noted academic and former Bank of Israel governor, will participate in their first Fed policy meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday.
An astonishingly tragic year for air travel in Southeast Asia turned worse Sunday when an AirAsia plane carrying 162 people disappeared over stormy Indonesian waters, with no word on its fate despite several hours of searching by air and sea. AirAsia Flight 8501 vanished in airspace possibly thick with dense storm clouds, strong winds and lightning on its way from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore. Searchers had to fight against heavy rain. The Malaysia-based carrier's loss comes on top of the still-unexplained disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in March and the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in July over Ukraine. At the Surabaya airport, shocked family members pored over the plane's manifest, crying and embracing when they learned the news. Nearly all the passengers and crew are Indonesians, who are frequent visitors to Singapore, particularly on holidays.
Secretary of state, Hillary Clinton accidentally replied to an email about a fallen U.S. drone in Pakistan with her thoughts about decorations. "I like the idea of these," she wrote in response to the email containing an Associated Press story about a tussle between Pakistani soldiers and Taliban fighters for the U.S. drone. "How high are they? What would the bench be made of?" "And I'd prefer two shelves or attractive boxes/baskets/containers on one," she continued. "What do you think?" Her deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin, who had forwarded the story, was confused. "Did u mean to send to me?" she asked. "No — sorry!" Hillary replied. "Also, pls let me know if you got a reply from my ipad. I'm not sure replies go thru."
Many businesses are shuttered and the streets are mostly empty in Argentina amid a strike called by transportation unions to protest income tax rates and high inflation. While transportation workers represent only a small part of the workforce, the Tuesday shutdown of subways, trains and buses created a domino effect. Many Argentines have no other way to get to work or get children to school. The unions argue that high taxes and high inflation, which private economists put at more than 30 percent, have eroded away wage gains the last couple of years. Top officials in President Cristina Fernandez's administration have rejected the demands, saying the tax rates are fair and only impact a small percentage of workers who earn more than 15,000 pesos a month ($1,765).
The media went wild Monday with reports that Antarctica hit its highest temperature on record, 63 .5 degrees Fahrenheit. But the media hype glossed over one inconvenient truth: this temperature measurement wasn't actually taken on that southern hemisphere frozen continental land mass. The Weather Underground blog reported that on March 24th Argentina's Base Esperanza reported the temperature reached 63.5 degrees Fahrenheit. This came just one day after Argentina's Marambio Base recorded a temperature of 63.3 degrees Fahrenheit. Though it may sound like another classic symptom of Global Warming, the two Argentinian are actually on the continent's western side under South America. It's not even clear if the world's main meteorological body considers these bases as part of the south pole's temperature record. Whoops!
Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, a prominent U.S.-born Israeli rabbi over the weekend compared President Barack Obama to Haman, the notorious villain from the biblical Book of Esther. "The president of the United States is lashing out at Israel just like Haman lashed out at the Jews," Riskin said according to a Jerusalem Post report on his Saturday night speech at the Jerusalem Great Synagogue. The Post reported that Riskin said he could not comprehend what might be going through Obama's mind as the president reportedly was set to make steep compromises in a negotiated deal on Iran's controversial nuclear program. "I'm not making a political statement," Riskin said according to the Post. "I'm making a Jewish statement."
