The success of any senior driver program is due to inclusion of key components. Successful replication depends on identifying these components, recognizing their value, and including them in local programs. Each component is important but dependent; together they work in tandem with the other elements, leading to overall success of the program. Their relative significance depends on many factors, such as size of the law enforcement agency, size and nature of the community, level of community involvement, and other factors.
Partnerships and Community Involvement
Perhaps the most essential trait shared among the programs profiled in this report is their reliance on partnerships and communities. Law enforcement can't be all things to all people, and sheriffs shouldn't "reinvent the wheel." Many other agencies, both public and private, have outreach programs aimed at senior drivers. The role of law enforcement in finding solutions to senior driver problem must include meaningful cooperation between and among local agencies. Effective on-going partnerships are key to the success of older driver outreach programs. In each of the programs highlighted in this report, the sheriffs have recognized this fact and taken advantage of resources available outside their own agencies. That is not to say that sheriffs haven't committed resources of their own. Each has successfully assessed the needs of their citizens, the resources available in their communities, and the resources at their disposal within their respective offices. Afterwards, these components have been combined to maximize their delivery and impact on the public without unnecessarily duplicating efforts or products. The potential of effective partnership with community groups cannot be overstated. For example, the Ross County Senior Citizen's Center needed a van or bus to transport senior citizens who couldn't drive to events. The center couldn't afford a new vehicle and was unable to locate a used one that fit its needs and budget. The sheriff's office successfully negotiated with a local car dealership to sell the center a van at the dealer's cost. The dealership traded its normal handling and profit markups for a credit painted on the outside of the van. The savings for the center was significant and allowed it to acquire a new, state-of-the-industry van that maximized safety and comfort for its senior passengers.
One of the most recognizable partnerships is the Triad. Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police are already familiar with Triads, which have proven their value as successful partnerships for nearly two decades. A Triad, as the name implies, is an alliance of three entities. It teams the county's sheriff's office with its police and senior-citizen community leaders who agree to work together to ensure seniors' safety needs are met. The Triad's national partners, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), the National Sheriffs' Association (NSA), and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), launched Triad in 1988, and local Triads have been sprouting up across the country ever since. An integral part of a local Triad is its SALT council, an advisory council of senior citizens and law enforcement representatives that provides a forum for seniors to address law enforcement and an information conduit between the two groups. Many SALT councils create bylaws, incorporate or file for tax-exempt status, and develop mission and goal statements. Most meet regularly to take up the council's business. AARP is the sponsor of the most widely available and most well known senior driver program in the country, the AARP Driver Safety Program. AARP volunteers have presented the course to more than 9 million senior drivers, sometimes through Triads. The close relationship between IACP, NSA, and AARP makes AARP's Driver Safety Program a popular choice for law-enforcement-sponsored elderly driver education. It is popular with many seniors too, because it is relatively inexpensive and many insurance companies offer discounts to policyholders who have completed the course
Community Liasons
Liaisons, coalitions, and task forces offer numerous benefits to participants and their value is widely known to law enforcement managers. These alliances can be beneficial to all participants because of the opportunities for networking, shared resources, lightened work load, etc., and can result in greater efficiency, higher quality service, and enhanced morale. Many projects and challenges are technical in nature and often exceed the expertise and resources of the lone law enforcement officer or even the entire agency. Collaboration with others provides a synergistic benefit that can optimize results. This is especially true of interdisciplinary collaborations where members bring a variety of skills to the table. Law enforcement organizations lacking a Triad or other formal coalitions such as DriveSmart can join or create less formal partnerships with community-based organizations. Their composition will vary by location and mission, but members might include community organizations, government agencies, businesses and individuals representing law enforcement, transportation, public works, motor vehicle administrators, educators, health and injury prevention specialists, parents, aging advocates, retailers, and manufacturers. The benefits of community coalitions may reach well beyond senior drivers. The goodwill generated and enjoyed by the police agency that participates in community-based alliances can be a valuable tool in other problems police encounter.
Committed Leadership
No program can succeed without a commitment from its leadership. In the programs described in this publication, the sheriff was supportive of, and in some cases the catalyst for, these programs. Effective CEOs and managers recognize traffic safety is integral to the overall mission of law enforcement. Although there are many competing programs that deserve the attention and resources of a law enforcement agency, sheriffs in those agencies profiled here have created and maintained a commitment to traffic safety generally, and to senior drivers specifically. In addition, they have allocated financial resources to support the programs and have generated public support for them through various channels. These sheriffs also recognized the leadership traits of program supervisors in their offices who demonstrate the ability and finesse to mobilize systems and people to achieve program goals. They make the programs thrive.
Motivated Employees
It is not enough to select the "right" sergeant or the "right" captain to lead a unit or implement a program. Talent has to exist and be cultivated at every operational level — especially on the line. The men and women on the line have the final responsibility to apply management philosophy and to deliver a product that is successful to the degree that the Office of Sheriff and the citizens can equally share. Officials in Franklin County pointed out that their Triad deputies are able to empathize with their senior population. The deputies themselves are mature, with most of them retired from another career field. They are deliberately selected for their wisdom, compassion, and sensitivity. Their age and experience provide credibility; when a senior citizen reminisces about an old song or a classic TV show, the deputy can share their memory. The deputies also can empathize with the seniors' aging concerns. Franklin County attributes these deputies with being a major asset of its overall program. Officials in both Ross and Franklin Counties described their deputies as decision makers with strong personal traits. The sheriffs empower these employees with the authority to complete their tasks.
Trained Staff
The Triads are staffed with competent, well-trained deputies. The personnel charged with delivering older driver training to the community have been trained to deal effectively with seniors. They have been trained to be sensitive to the special needs of senior citizens and have received training about dementia and its effects. Law enforcement officers who receive training about dementia are better skilled at recognizing its signs in an afflicted driver. Knowing they are dealing with a dementia victim, these officers can better assess the situation and intervene effectively. Quick and appropriate law enforcement intervention restores safety to the roadway and frees officers to resume their traditional roles.
Proactive Organizations
The visionary sheriffs and managers in the agencies profiled here have assumed the responsibility of preparing today's law enforcement officers for tomorrow's challenges. They manage their organizations under a community-oriented policing model through which they maintain contact with the community and evaluate its needs. They have recognized the need to provide senior driver resources and have mobilized assets to address the community's need. Through these efforts they in turn enjoy the goodwill of their communities. A good example can be found in the Franklin County program. Unable to fund the purchase of a new computer for the Triad database, officials there relied on the goodwill of the community. A local bank donated the computer and related equipment and no public funds were needed to increase the project's efficiency and effectiveness.
The sheriffs whose organizations are described in this publication are innovative leaders. They aren't satisfied with maintaining the status quo, choosing instead to keep their agencies on the cutting edge. They see themselves as leaders in their communities and in their profession. They choose to "look outside the box" for solutions, and are known to be proactive as opposed to reactive policing executives.
Adaptable Organizations
Each of these sheriffs' offices can be described as adaptable. Their adaptability keeps them viable to their service bases. As environments change, successful organizations recognize, evaluate, and respond to change according to their missions. Their employees are flexible and able to adjust to change and as a result the entire organization embraces change. Flexible staffs are able to fluidly adapt to changing difficulties, technologies, and expanding roles.
Though the issues raised by an aging driver population are not foremost in the minds of many law enforcement executives, these are real issues that cannot be disregarded. Sheriffs and police chiefs cannot ignore the fact that their populations are aging, nor can they overlook the many ways aging baby boomers will impact traffic enforcement and service delivery. Different communities have tackled the problems in different ways. Sheriffs and police chiefs who have not yet developed a plan to cope with the senior driver phenomenon can duplicate successful programs highlighted in this publication now, in proactive fashion, rather than later in a reactive response to a crisis scenario. No law enforcement agency has to go it alone. Many community resources are already in place so law enforcement can quickly and easily join with them to build state-of-the-industry senior driver training that fits the needs of the local population.

Amazon.com's (NASDAQ: AMZN ) Prime Music isn't better than any of the services it purports to compete with. Heck, you could even argue it's much worse than what Spotify, Beats Music, and Pandora (NYSE: P ) offer. Even so, I expect Prime Music to be a catalyst for Amazon stock because it gives the e-tailer's most valuable members yet another reason to hang around the store.
Why "good enough" is so great
First, let's address why Amazon built such a weak alternative. The short answer is because it could. Even a simple, ad-free service such as Prime Music serves as a reminder that Spotify and Pandora insist on filling your ears with pitches you'd rather mute.
Money is also a factor. Amazon would have to invest millions (or perhaps tens of millions) to compete with the catalogs available at Spotify and Beats Music. There's also quality to consider. Upgrading Prime Music to stream at the audiophile-preferred rate of 320 kbps would consume resources that might otherwise go to service-profitable Amazon Web Services clients.
Every incremental service increases the odds of a transaction
The goal here isn't to build the best product or even disrupt the industry. Amazon merely wants to grow its base of Prime members because they shop more. But don't take my word for it. Here's Amazon Vice President of Digital Music Steve Boom, in an interview with VentureBeat late last week:
The goal we have when adding new services to Prime [membership] comes down to two things. We want existing Prime members to have deeper and longer relationships with Amazon. But we also try to look at services that have universal appeal and are used frequently if not daily. And music is an obvious service that fits into that description.
Just as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) is buying Beats Electronics to help sell the iPhone, Amazon is offering Prime Music to help sell everything else in its store to its most qualified customers. So don't think of Prime Music as a Spotify killer. Nor is it a threat to Pandora or Beats. Amazon isn't after audiophiles, but rather everyday, casual listeners. Millions of us who haven't yet signed up for Prime but who would do so given the right incentive. Prime Music just made their decision easier, and Amazon stock owners should see the benefits.
Leaked: The secret Apple project that explains Amazon's strategy
It's no accident that Amazon is making Prime services as accessible as possible. Smart devices are driving traffic like never before, which is why Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But now that the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

Perhaps the reason Ron Jeremy gets laid by creaky Bambi in a jail setting is because that's the only way the producers could hold him down. Rod Fontana willingly takes the high road to China in his ancient Asian encounter, splooging across her dentures. Eventually the oldsters tangle tongues and chow down at Fort Bushy. The only thing left to the imagination is them swapping pictures of their grandkids! For fetishists only!

WORLD Travel Market, one of the tourism industry's biggest annual jamborees, opened in London on November 12th. No sooner had delegates begun to compare notes on how bad their business was than news reached them of the crash of American Airlines flight 587 shortly after take-off from New York's JFK airport. All their worst forecasts instantly dipped further into gloom.
The tourism industry has known nothing like this since it became a recognised business. The biggest impact is in America, where fears of recession and terrorist attacks have emptied flights, despite cuts in capacity in September. Although the airlines are using just four-fifths of their capacity, their planes are only 66% full. They need to be 88% full, on average, merely to break even, says Randy Baseler, vice-president of marketing for Boeing's civil-aviation arm. This week, America West became the first carrier to ask for a loan guarantee under the federal rescue plan put in place after September 11th. Airlines in America are now expected to lose more than $7 billion this year.
For American Airlines, the country's largest carrier, this week's crash—its third in two months—is a severe blow. It comes just as it and other airlines were dusting off plans to cut fares and lure back travellers. Early indications pointing to an accident at least spare the airlines a long period of uncertainty in which travellers stay away for fear of a fresh wave of attacks.
Before this week's crash the Travel Industry Association of America (TIA) was already forecasting (optimistically) that overall business would be down by only 6% over the traditionally busy Thanksgiving weekend which starts on November 22nd. It has not yet revised its forecast in the light of the crash, but it has postponed (by a week) a $20m national advertising campaign that had been scheduled to begin on November 14th. The ad features snippets from recent speeches of President Bush exhorting Americans to live their lives as normal.
By some measures, the crash came just as the first signs of recovery were appearing. The TIA's most recent survey of travel confidence showed that the number of Americans planning to take leisure trips in the next six months had risen to its highest since September 11th. Many are being lured by the discounts that hotels and airlines are being forced to offer. Stay a night at an American Holiday Inn, for instance, and you get a second night free. Even top-of-the-range hotels such as the Plaza and the Carlyle in New York have very special offers. For some, pricing is based on what a customer is prepared to pay.
Outside America, it is Muslim countries that have been hardest-hit. Travel-industry people in Istanbul say that foreign visitors to the Turkish city in the past two months are 50-60% down on the same period last year. In Indonesia, 1.3m tourists cancelled trips in the month after September 11th. Even mainly Hindu Bali is bereft, with once lively temple guides reduced to begging. As for Egypt, its stand at the World Travel Market was at times attracting even less interest than that of Belarus.
The industry's pained cries for government help are increasingly being heeded. Egypt is subsidising charter flights into the country, and Mexico has eliminated sales taxes on conventions. Some, though, worry about how all this is going to distort business. Charles Gurassa, boss of the Thomson Travel Group, part of Preussag, a tourism giant, says it should not be "an opportunity to give state aid to those who are already struggling, and always will be." Even without aid, distortions are appearing: cruise ships and hotels are offering deals at well below cost—and in the process forcing small travel companies out of business.
When the weak and over-leveraged flounder, there are always financially stronger sharks circling. Several parts of the industry are likely to see further consolidation in the difficult months to come, although Francesco Frangialli, secretary-general of the World Tourism Organisation, points out that further consolidation in some areas, such as package tours for Europeans, might come up against objections from antitrust authorities.
Leading Hotels of the World, a New York-based group, has designed a scheme to protect its 380 independent luxury hotels from the clutches of large predators. Welf Ebeling, the group's chief operating officer, says it has set up a trust with a private-equity firm and other investors to help endangered members through temporary financial difficulties.
Meanwhile, firms everywhere are trying to cut costs, to reassure customers about security, and to persuade suppliers to be more flexible over pricing. Come next summer, the sun may be shining again. The industry has proved remarkably robust in the past, and as Mr Ebeling says: "People today consider it to be their birthright to be mobile."

never had monkfish that wasn't already butchered. But doing some looking on u tube for butchering one the guy pretty much says its the liver (if I am looking at your pic. right)
at about 2:10 it looks like he has some smaller ones.
Chewie's the man.
"See... the problem here is that... my little brother, this morning, got his arm caught in the microwave, and uh... my grandmother dropped acid and she freaked out, and hijacked a school bus full of... penguins, so it's kind of a family crisis... so come back later? Great."
-Lane Myer (Definitely not as in Oscar Mayer)
I'd say your monk fish is well hung
BTW, the monk fish and liver were very tasty. A little salt and pepper, sauteed in clarified butter with some thyme. If nothing else, gave me an excuse to use my deba. I love how sharp white gets.
Tried butter poaching some scallops for the fist time, I like them better with a sear.
Looks like giblets to me.

I think it's time to offer something specific about why it's important for the salaries to be generally available to the public. When I started this exercise a few years back, the Parks and Recreation Superintendent made more than either the Chief of Police or the Fire Chief. I thought that was wrong, not because I thought that the Parks guy didn't deserve what he was getting, but because I thought that the Police and Fire Chiefs have more responsibility than he does. I talked about this at a council meeting, and Mayor Yoder agreed that it was time to move the two chiefs up the pay ladder. To a certain extent he's done that. The Police Chief, at $55,301.48/yr is now ahead of the Parks Super, who is at $54,319.20; and the Fire Chief, at $54,295.80 is almost there. Now I would add the Street Superintendent as someone whose salary needs to be brought into line with his responsibilities. His job, which pays $53,126.58/yr, is a 24/7 one, clearing snow in winter and picking up storm debris in all seasons; yet he makes almost $1,200.00/yr less than the Parks Super.
People can reasonably disagree about what a particular job is worth or what a particular occupant of a position should be paid. But you can't have that argument unless the numbers are out there for everyone to see. ARMYMPVET mentioned "road repair" as something more important than salaries, but I say that there's a connection between the two. I think that Auburn does a pretty fair job of keeping streets repaired and clean...and I think that the people who make that happen on a daily basis deserve pay as good as the job that they do. Our Parks Superintendent does not deserve less, but our Street Superintendent surely deserves more...and so does our Fire Chief.
Do not trust the experts. If you believe the doctors, nothing is healthy. If you believe the ministers, nothing is wholesome. If you believe the generals, nothing is safe.--Robert Cecil (1830-1903), Third Marquess of Salisbury
Apparently you have no idea, then, what the discussion has been about. Disclosure isn't the issue because the information is already available to anyone who wants it. The issue is whether it's necessary to post the information on the city website. Next, Mike will insist the city make out an annual brochure containing the salaries and mail it to everyone.
No, I get it, and disclosure is what the discussion is about, if it wasn't, there would be no problem. The whole gist was there are more important things to discuss, than salaries, which is the cry of someone that doesn't want them available freely to the public. Freely is the word we need to discuss. If it is truly public, there is absolutely no reason for them to take your name, und zee your papers! It is people like you and ARMYMPVET, that cannot stand sunshine on what should be posted everywhere. My take on this is ARMYMP is a cop, and as such doesn't really want what he makes out in the open. He states as much when he said " My salary is my business and nobody elses ". You on the other hand routinely take what I say and twist the bejesus out of it. It is very necessary to post openly this information as Mike has done, otherwise it wouldn't be in the state code. By them making everyone sign their name as it were, they are intimidating people in to not looking at the information. If Mike's posting of this information is no big deal, why then are you and ARMYMPVET making such a big deal? It's no skin off your teeth, and no work either, and no-one had to pay for it. Call it a public service by a public official!
For the record, I am not a police office. As my user name suggests, I am a veteran of the United States Army Military Police. I work in the private sector as a quality inspector with a local company. I have to repeat myself again when I say that I am totally behind having this information readily available to the public. Which it is. Also again, since the council and mayor have said that they would post this data, it should be, ASAP. Councilman Walter's posting of city salaries is not a big deal as some have suggested. If he wants to put public domain information on the Fence Post, that is his right and I defend that right. Some have said that printing and paper costs are wasteful,I agree. What if the clerk's office were to print one copy and laminate it and post it in the lobby? This would satisfy everyone's curiousity. There are things that Councilman Waler says that I agree with.There are things he says that I dont. And you know something? Thats ok. That is what is great about our form of government. Its ok to disagree. What started out as a debate over ranking what is more important to post online has degenerated into a finger pointing, name calling rant. Gestapo? Really? Just because this data is not currently online does not mean it is not freely available. I agree with blue adept in his statement that there is no reason to take names.Are they? I dont know. I have not asked for this information. I do not rank it very high on my "Things I need to know before I die" list.
"NEVER IN THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY HAVE SO FEW DONE SO MUCH WITH SO LITTLE." - Winston Churchill
What makes the city different from the county that they do not have to advertise the salaries in a legal document each year? I have never heard anyone within county government that have been upset about their salaries posted each year in the newspaper, so why should it create an issue for city employees. They are government employees. They should know that they accepted a position that provides them with little to no privacy.
Very true, photoby, Councilman Walter, does or does not the city have to publish year end report of expenses? I would think that salaries would be considered an operation expense. I do not think it is the employees themselves who overly concerned but more the council, or just a few members. An excellent idea however, publish the information in the newspaper right along side the county report. That should satisfy all concerned.

Here's my letter to The Star that appeared April 29 listing the 25 top-earning city employees (based on 26 bi-weekly pay periods):
Councilman reveals Auburn salary scale
Saturday, April 28, 2012, 12:00am
To the editor:
On March 28, I placed on The Fence Post a complete list of Auburns current city employee salaries and hourly pay rates taken from data that the city sent to the State Board of Accounts. The reason I did so (and have done since 2010) is that Auburns annual salary ordinance specifies only a set of bracketed ranges within which the mayor and his department heads may fix the pay for each employee. That means that individuals with exactly the same job title may be paid at different rates. The police and fire departments are exceptions, because state law mandates the same pay rate for all officers and firefighters in the same grade.
Although the actual salaries are public record, Auburns use of bracketed pay ranges keeps the public (and the employees themselves) from learning exactly what a particular job pays just by reading the salary ordinance. Thats no accident. Its the way the system is deliberately designed. When I first proposed in 2010 putting the actual salaries on the citys official website (just as the City of Chicago now does) to make it easy for taxpayers to find the information, Mayor Norman Yoder and the rest of the City Council went ballistic. Make them work to get it, was the memorable response of one of them.
I dont think that it should be hard for people to get information that rightfully belongs to them in the first place. I think that its the duty of public officials to make access to that information as easy as possible. And I think that democracy works best when people have the information they need to make sound judgments as citizens. If you want the complete 2012 salary information, its on The Fence Posts Auburn sub-forum. If youre willing to settle for a list of the salaries of the citys 25 top-earning employees, here it is:
Information systems manager, $86,658.00;
city civil engineer, $76,296.22;
electric superintendent, $70,691.92;
water pollution control (WPC) superintendent, $62,909.86;
assistant fiber superintendent (electric department), $61,690.46;
assistant city civil engineer, $61,535.76;
information systems specialist, $59,842.64;
broadband network specialist (electric department), $58,554.08;
building and planning administrator: $57,038.54;
chief of police, $55,301.48;
parks superintendent, $54,319.20;
fire chief, $54,295.80;
application specialist (information systems), $54,287.48;
human resources director, vacant;
street superintendent, $53,126.58;
WPC biosolids supervisor, $52,280.28;
deputy clerk-treasurer, $51,207.00;
WPC lab supervisor, $49,860.72;
water production supervisor, $48,833.20;
deputy fire chief, $48,827.48;
WPC plant maintenance supervisor, $48,581.00;
application specialist (clerk-treasurers office), $48,581.00;
purchasing agent, $47,878.48;
water superintendent, $46,914.92;
city attorney, $37,551.28 (plus a $95/hour litigation rate).

Member, Auburn City Council
Do not trust the experts. If you believe the doctors, nothing is healthy. If you believe the ministers, nothing is wholesome. If you believe the generals, nothing is safe.--Robert Cecil (1830-1903), Third Marquess of Salisbury
I did notice recently (after Mike Walters had posted this salary information) that the Journal Gazette published an even more detailed listing of both Fort Wayne city employees and Allen County employees and their salaries. The additional detail that I noticed is that along with the position held by an employee, the actual employee's name was included.
Once again, I feel Mike has done the proper thing allowing the public to know where/how their tax monies are being spent on salaries. Public monies spent is public information as far as I am concerned.

What are they?Athenian
The first springs from a lust for wealth which allows a man no leisure time for attention to anything else save his own private property; and when the soul of every citizen hangs upon this, it is incapable of attending to matters other than daily gain. Whatsoever science or pursuit leads to this, every man individually is most ready to learn and to practice; but all else he laughs to scorn.

bbBD United States Show all reviews | Good things come to those that wait, right? Upon its release in December 2008 to 'friends of Guerlain' (read: those that spend a LOT in the boutiques), I could only sigh and hope that someday a bottle of 180 Ans would grace my shelf. Last year I jumped on the chance to pay nearly $30 for a tiny 1.5ml decant from TPC when they first offered it. Nearly a year and half later, a little bit of luck has put a full bottle of 180 Ans on my shelf. It's not the same as receiving it as a gift from La Maison, but I can enjoy the fragrance nonetheless. 25th March, 2010 |
Mr. G Denmark Show all reviews | The ultimate celebratory act of Guerlain's 180th anniversary year was Jean-Paul Guerlain's creation of a non-commercial perfume gift offered to loyal customers and people within the industry. Simply called 180 Ans de Créations 1828-2008, this Eau de Parfum composition is quite simple: It represents what is perhaps the purest and most stripped down form of the famous Guerlinade accord ever produced by Guerlain: bergamot, jasmine, orange blossom, vetiver, tonka bean, amber and vanilla. The only "modern notes" are grapefruit, pink pepper and musk - respectively adding a bitter-sweet, spicy and soft skin-like touch to the otherwise very powdery fragrance. It's presented in the square Elixirs Charnels bottle decorated with an elegant strip of metal bearing the perfume's name. 05th May, 2009 |

Sidelobe suppression in volume holographic optical correlators by use of speckle modulation
Optics Letters, Vol. 28, Issue 20, pp. 1972-1974 (2003)
Acrobat PDF (776 KB)
By use of speckle modulation on the object beam of a volume holographic optical correlation system, we show that the sidelobes of the correlation patterns along the vertical direction, as well as those along the horizontal direction, are well suppressed. A theoretical explanation and experimental results are presented and discussed.

Who can forget their first hamster? I have heard hundreds of hamster owners tell me the stories of their first hamsters. Although I have loved every hamster I've owned, there's something special about the first time you bring a new hamster friend home, the first time you name them, the first time you watch them run in their wheel and groom themselves and hide their food in their cheek pouches and all the wonderful things that hamsters do. For me, that time came when I met my first pair of dwarf hamsters, Tom and Boo.
My name is Catya. I've been a hamster owner for five years, starting with Tom and Boo. Tom and Boo were Campbell's dwarf hamsters, the most common dwarf species. I was 4 years old the first time I saw Campbell's dwarves. They belonged to my sister's friend. They were so cute as they ran every which way in their wheel and through the colorful tubes on their cage. It was then that I decided hamsters were the pet for me. They are fun to have, easy to take care of and they don't bother my mom's allergies. If I keep up on my cage cleaning, they don't make the house smell, and I never have to vacuum fur off of the furniture.
Of course, 4 years old is not the right age to own a rambunctious pair of dwarf hamsters. I would have to wait. Once I turned 11 years old, my parents said that I could finally get hamsters – if I could prove that I was mature enough by keeping my room clean, staying up to date on my homework, and practicing the piano faithfully. I worked really hard to meet their requirements, until at last the day I had been waiting for arrived. I was going to have two hamster friends to call my own!
I was so excited on the trip to go pick out my hamsters. I held each of the Campbell's in the cage, to see which ones I liked best. One of them was a brown and white guy with a loopy personality. He was crazy and funny and seemed interested in finding out who I was. The other one I liked was much calmer, a sleek gray hamster. He had a dignified air about him, curious and interested but not hyperactive.
These two also got along together nicely, so I chose them. On the way home and as I set up their new cage, I thought about what to name them. As you may have guessed, the brown guy got named Boo and the gray fellow was named Tom. Boo was named for a videogame character and Tom was short for Tom Bombadil, from Lord of the Rings. When I put them in their new house and watched them explore it for the first time, I knew that we would spend many happy days together.
What about you? Do you remember your first hamster? What kind of hamster was it, and what did you name your hamster? I'd love to hear your stories about your first hamsters! << Back to blog home page Read the Next Entry >>

Got the phone yesterday and told myself I was gonna wait for root but I suck at waiting for root. I did this last night and it went off without a hitch. I just gotta have full control.
Mine is a sprint phone. And yes it tripped the knox but as mentioned several times in the thread, if you can't fix the phone because its totally dead they probably can't read the counter anyway. Root is important enough to me that I really don't mind the voiding of the warranty. I'm going to root it sooner or later anyway, it just usually ends up being sooner for me for some reason.
Still haven't rooted, had my Note 3 (SM-N9005) four days now, this for me is some sort of record. I want to, just hadn't had the time. I want to if only at the moment to change the ugly battery meter in the notification bar, and change the SMS tone in the System>media >audio folder. Other than that for my needs I can't see the point yet. Bring on deodexed ROMs, UI frameworks and other mods. I quite like the idea of adding apps to the S-pen window.
No time is BS... In the time it took you to type that out you could have done it. Do you need to borrow some big boy pants or something? lol
yeah i too have no time so do you have those big boy pants i could borrow plan on rooting it this weekend.
ROFL. I believe you have what is known as "a singular wit" my friend. Seriously though, I'm on call and yes I could have easily done it tonight. I am holding out for a couple of weeks. It would be ruddy annoying if the devs found a way of bypassing Knox (highly unlikely, but hey, you never know) or even better but even more unlikely Samsung were to release two versions of the same update, one that still tripped Knox but had an open bootloader that let you do what you like, the proviso being your warranty is gone. The other fully locked tight. Stranger things have happened.
Yeah I really wanted to wait much for those same reasons but I gave in pretty quickly. What's funny is I really didn't need to do it yet. The main thing I wanted to do was be able to use system tuner pro and root explorer in their full capacity. I'm a little gun shy to really make any changes yet because without a good option for a working recovery I don't have any backups yet. Until I see those magic words "backup completed successfully" I'm not doing anything. I've rooted every android phone I've ever had in the first weekend and never had any issues with them. It's a gamble but one I'm willing to take until my first big screwup. Then I may be a little more cautious. The N3 really is such a great phone you really don't need root to fix anything. A lot of my phones in the past it was something you really had to do. It's strictly just for fun on this one. That's a good thing.
different people have different reasons, if you don't have a reason to root this phone then why are you on this post? I can list reasons why I rooted.
I don't see why anyone needs a reason at all to do it. We bought the phone and if we want to root it we do. Off the bat I only had a few minor uses for it but I wanted to do it as soon as possible anyway. Coming from htc they have a bad habit of changing the bootloaders regularly to kill the exploits. I learned the hard way to do it and do it soon. If someone asks why you needed it just tell them there's a difference between want and need and that you wanted to do it. End of discussion.
No disrespect in what i wrote but looking back at that I might have wrote it on the wrong forum. I dont see why I said it unless you caught me at a really bad time, which in that case my bad.
Agree, in fact my smartphone insurance is a lot quicker in replacing the thing anyway. Took them 36hrs to deliver a shiny new one and by insurance even covers accidental damage or loss and they don't care about Knox (btw. UK users, NatWest Silver accounts include, amongst other free things like Love film, a no questions asked smartphone insurance with

Ford Mustang Replacement Tail Light Information
It's not surprising that high-end drivers get how to focus on the road performance of their Ford Mustang using performance-optimized auto parts. Ford sells vehicles that are made to ensure ultimate performance, and like their other models, the Mustang just won't run as designed without top-notch OEM and aftermarket auto parts. High performance race machines, including the high-toned Ford Mustang, are manufactured to be used and even abused, and afterwards repaired and refurbished. Ford prides itself on crafting vehicles that are dependable and gas conserving in order to surpass their loyal customers' requirements. Wrap yourself in beauty, luxury and innovative style with the help of a timeless Ford car. Your fine Ford was built with care and craftsmanship; it needs new replacement or OEM parts of the same high level of quality. Few things are more important than safeguarding the well-being of yourself and your passengers, which is why repairing your car with the safest and most durable equipment is crucial. Disasters can sometimes be a risk factor owning a vehicle, but you can mitigate the chance of causing a collision just by installing and repairing the safety equipment such as lights or brakes. Operating a vehicle without a Ford Mustang Tail Light can be dangerous and is not legal in nearly all areas. Car owners enhance the appearance of a vehicle using Ford Mustang Tail Lights, since they can be bought in an assortment of colors. Ford Mustang Tail Lights frequently combine the job of brake lights and turning flashers in one unit; they can include a warning flasher as well.

Obama Tells Radicals Fight Continues
Submitted By Todd on November 4th at 12:23pm
In public, the president is posing as someone who understands that he was rebuked by the American people on Tuesday.
Two days after voters soundly chastised his party, President Obama on Thursday invited Republican and Democratic congressional leaders to the White House in the hopes, he said, of getting all sides to work together on the nation's problems.
But in a phone call with the radical group moveon.org, he reiterated his commitment to "change," ie the divisive pursuit of the socialist agenda without regard for the will of the governed.
Here he is after a cabinet meeting today explaining his commitment to business as usual.

Beard Papa's
11127 183rd St.
Cerritos, CA 90703-5415
Cerritos, CA 90703-5415
You have undoubtedly had other cream puffs in your day - damp, irregular spheroids of pastry split and filled with shelf-stabilized whipped cream - but the Beard Papa model is a different object altogether: crunchy where the standard cream puff tends to be elastic, round where the others are squat, injected to order with amplified doughnut custard flecked with tiny seeds, and dusted with powdered sugar. There is a distinct aftertaste of browned pie crust in a Papa puff where you usually encounter a vague, sweet smack. But as with a proper bagel, there is a tempered chaw under its thin, friable skin, and a subtly rich jolt of egginess that seems to rush straight to the pleasure center of the brain. Papa puffs are undoubtedly delivery systems for astronomical quantities of saturated fat, but the only thing it is possible to do after inhaling one is to immediately start in on another, until the box is empty, your stomach is full, and your sugar crash can be felt clear to the other side of the Tehachapis. If Papa puffs were any more addictive, they would be illegal in 38 states, the bearded, pipe-smoking mascot would be as suggestive as the Zig-Zag man, and puff-dumping codicils would be the subject of G7 trade negotiation.

epMEDIA - 0.3Tobias Duehr (natasbordello)Tags:DescriptionepMEDIA is mainly a very basic graphical filebrowser with the built-in ability to play musicfiles (playlists as well) and show pictures. Other functions and filetypes (e.g. videos, roms) can be handled through other applications (e.g. ZSNES for snes-roms). It's supposed to run on TV-Screens (800x600) on not so powerful PC's. epMEDIA runs pretty fast on smaller CPU's (like the Via C3) because it's not that featureful. Cheap trick. No TV, no programguide, not even weatherforecast. Faster startup. Anyways, if you need that features and got a fast pc, epMEDIA may not be your first choice. It's mainly an audio-jukebox. ChangesFinally added the SHOW_PICTURE function. fixed many bugs. Added base skin wich uses an overlay (looks cool, slow). Pageup/down works now, added some features to all skins (mostly playtime). It's now possible to run epMEDIA at any
resolution, but currently only 800x600px skins are included. Links

So it shouldn't be surprising at all that UL coach Tony Robichaux wasn't knocked off-balance at all Monday when, after going 4-1 last week with a 14-3 loss in the first game of Saturday's Sun Belt Conference doubleheader with Western Kentucky, his 26-3 club dropped from the No. 1 to No. 2 in Collegiate Baseball's national poll.
UL was supplanted by South Carolina, which improved to 24-3 after sweeping a three-game weekend SEC home series with Tennessee. ...

Product Usage Information
Application | Dilutions |
Western Blotting | 1:1000 |
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-MAP2 (Thr1620/1623) Antibody detects transfected MAP2 (at a dilution of up to 1:20,000) only when phosphorylated at threonines 1620/1623. This antibody does not cross-react with phosphorylated tau.
Species Reactivity: Human Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology: MouseSource / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr1620/1623 of human MAP2. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) is a neuronal phosphoprotein that regulates the structure and stability of microtubules, neuronal morphogenesis, cytoskeleton dynamics, and organelle trafficking in axons and dendrites (1). Multiple MAP2 isoforms are expressed in neurons, including high molecular weight MAP2A and MAP2B (280 and 270 kDa), and low molecular weight MAP2C and MAP2D (70 and 75 kDa). Phosphorylation of MAP2 modulates its association with the cytoskeleton and is developmentally regulated. GSK-3 and p44/42 MAP kinase phosphorylate MAP2 at Ser136, Thr1620, and Thr1623 (2,3). Phosphorylation at Thr1620/1623 by GSK-3 inhibits MAP2 association with microtubules and microtubule stability (3).

Why not build a cluster out of WORKSTATIONS?
Oz chap explains how he powered 27,320 x 3072 pixel super-display
Posted in HPC, 19th November 2013 05:31 GMT
Australia's Monash University has just opened an amazing visualisation facility called Cave 2.
The facility offers an eight-metre long, 320-degree wall comprised of 80 3D monitors with a combined resolution of 27320 x 3072 pixels.
"We spend millions of dollars building supercomputers and then look at the results they produce on a $200 monitor," Dr David Barnes of the university's Life Sciences and Computation Centre. Cave 2 is an attempt to give researchers a much better look at the results their efforts and supercomputers' muscle produce.
Streaming 3D data in real time to 80 monitors requires just the kind of hellacious quantity of bandwidth and computing grunt that one would imagine demands a nice fat server cluster.
So why is Cave 2's cluster built of workstations?
Graphics capabilities is one reason: the machines Cave picked can run two of the Quadro K5000s he chose to get the job done. Servers aren't set up to do that and aren't optimised for graphics.
Another reason for the workstation choice is an unusual in-rack arrangement that sees each pair of workstations share what Barnes calls a "quad controller" that takes video input and grooms it for consumption by Cave 2. Those machines and their 2U power supplies take up so much space that density becomes less of an issue.
The CAVE 2 visualisation facility
A key factor in the decision is that the workstations aren't significantly less manageable than servers. The CPUs shipped with Cave 2's chosen Dells offer Intel vPro which Barnes says isn't markedly more useful than the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) offered in many servers.
A concession: Cave 2 is a very niche application. But plenty of other applications are using GPUs for compute and if the rig is no less manageable than servers, what's not to like?
Over to you, readers: why not build a cluster out of workstations? ®

Just amazing. Don't know if the new layout is already influencing buyers' behavior, but I had a huge sales peak in the last 12 hours.

If your reverb has a stereo input/output, you send the instrument by a stereo bus and you're searching for a realistic response just leave it full left and full right (or stereo, centre balanced) otherwise experiment and have funEq is a good friend, taming the rumble or reducing/boosting room presence.
Also compression can be used; for instance, for aggressive drum tracks, room mics are heavily compressed, narrowed in the stereo field and added to the mix.
Also experiment with mono reverbs, as they can help sometimes some instruments to "cut through" the mix.
philancelot saidThanks for your feedback! It was concieved as a crescendo (that's the reason of the second part, more aggressive) but you may be right…
Hello Pietro! I suspect the start. The synth introduces a mood that does not fit to the mood that you develop later in the track. I'd say the problem is the second synth chord. The track itself is superb
Thanks everybody! And cheers to Joonique and Filosound, sometimes it's good to be in the right place at the right time
All the best, Pietro
Hi there,
I was quite satisfied with this one, but it ain't selling at all…
It was approved without any issue, but there might be something to refine (maybe in the low end?)
Check it out:
Travelling to Infinity
All the best,
Hi guys,
I've reached the 100 sales milestone!
It took me quite a long time, mostly because I'm uploading at a very slow rate (1 track every month, more or less) but given my small portfolio I'm pretty happy of this result…
Let's celebrate together with a little giveaway: I'll buy 1 (one) track to the first 2 (two) authors that will reply to this post, and rate them 5 stars – sorry, I know it's not that much but… I'm not that wealthy!
All the best,
PixelLoveLLC saidThese are all libraries that run inside Kontakt .In some cases (Eastwest products, for instance) they have their own free kontakt player that comes with the library; in some other cases (Stilus RMX) they run through their own virtual instruments.
Just to make sure, these are all plugins I can just install/drop-into with most DAW right? They aren't their own DAW?
In all cases, they run inside your DAW. As others said before, think exactly what are your needs for the kind of music you do, and then audition as many demos as possible. This is the only way to make a wise decision!
bdProductions saidNah, didn't work for me, a big fat 0 in sales… I was quite happy with my last track, very sad it got lost so early
pietrogirardi saidI wouldn't worry. Sunday afternoon/evening has been good to me in the past.
Berlin-InEar saidThinking of 5 days I did the math: submitted wedesneday to be released on monday… got reviewed on sunday (ouch!)
4+ days
Grande Matteo! Please let us know if and how the feature worked for you!
Today I got my first sale on February. January really slow. I'm on 99 sales, cm'on!
