Grab a spoon—it's National Ice Cream Month! It's really no surprise that many of us love to spoil our pets with bits of our tasty summer treats, but pet parents please beware: Ice cream is just one of many summer goodies that could double as serious health hazards to our pets!
Ice cream
Just say no to the cone. One lick or two (no chocolate, please!) is fine, but because pets do not possess significant amounts of lactase—the enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk—milk and other milk-based products can cause them diarrhea or other digestive upset.
Chicken Bones
Feeding your pet raw bones may seem like a natural option, but chicken bones splinter easily and can cause choking or may become lodged in your pet's digestive tract.
Potato Chips
Who doesn't like to crunch? While one or two plain chips may not pose a threat, large amounts of salt can produce excessive thirst and urination or even sodium ion poisoning in pets. Signs that your pet may have eaten too many chips include vomiting, diarrhea, depression, tremors, elevated body temperature, seizures and even death. In other words, keep those salty snacks to yourself!
A little sweet, a little tart—and a lot hazardous! Citrus plants contain citric acid, limonin and oils that can cause irritation, and possibly even central nervous system depression, if ingested in significant amounts. Clinical signs of central nervous system depression include vomiting, diarrhea, depression and potential photosensitivity.
Piña Colada
We know they're tasty, but any beveragecontaining alcohol can cause vomiting, diarrhea, decreased coordination, central nervous system depression, difficulty breathing, tremors, abnormal blood acidity, coma and even death in our animals. So please, keep you summer cocktails out of your pet's reach.
Interested in more food hazards? Please visit the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center.
These may be hard to find a about a dollar a box more expensive than frosty paws but I think they are better if you don't have time to make some yourself.
Breyers is now making a lactose-free vanilla ice cream. Wonder if that's okay cause my coonhound loves his ice cream!
My dogs go INSANE over bananas! So in the summer I chop some up and throw them in the freezer for a nice cold treat
I buy a bag of cheap frozen broccoli florets and give my dog a handful when it's hot. He loves it!
I like the homemade treats... my pups get frozen PB cubes. We use our ice cube tray, scoop in a teaspoon, well a generous teaspoon of PB into each cube tray slot. We use a natural PB, but probably any would do. Anyway, its inexpensive, easy to do, and keeps the pups happy. Sometimes we put a milk bone in each slot as well.
Raw chicken bones are fine to feed and are widely used in raw feeding diets.
Cooked bones of any kind should not be fed as these splinter and can cause the problems described above.
Instead of ice cream or frosty paws, slice bananas and put the slices in an ice tray, fill with water, and freeze. The dogs love it!
Like humans,safe treats for dogs are good in small amounts. My Parsons Jack Russel loves the drive thru at the Ice Cream place....he gets his own.

Miss Riga and the Symphony in Stone
Riga, the capital city of Latvia is a real Art Nouveau Metropolis. A number of Art Nouveau façades display sometimes lavish adornment. However, ornaments do not define the essence of this style. It lies in its creative methodology – how to make the useful beautiful. At the same time, especially at the early stage of the development of the style, rich decoration still remained as an aesthetic ideal. Female motifs are among most extensively used decorations, depicting a special spirit of glorifying beauty. A whole series of Art Nouveau buildings in Riga boast impressive compositions of smiling, laughing or crying women's masks or sculptures.The paper analyses creative work of architects active in Riga and artists producing sculptural decorations for buildings at the beginning of 20th century. Among them architects Konstantīns Pēkšēns, Eižens Laube, Aleksandrs Vanags, Jānis Alksnis, Heinrich Scheel and Friedrich Scheffel, civil engineer Mikhail Eisenstein, as well as sculptors August Volz, "Otto & Wassil" and "Lotze & Stoll" should be mentioned. One of the most decoratively expressive building having at the same time highly tectonic and logically structured architectural finish of the façade is that at Smilšu iela 2 (1901, architect Konstantīns Pēkšēns). The woman's herm under the bay window once was acknowledged as Miss Riga among the city's stone ladies. The highlight of decorativeness of Art Nouveau in Riga is Alberta iela, lined by five apartment houses constructed in 1903–1906 according to the projects by civil engineer Mikhail Eisenstein. It is like a lavish exhibition of all possible means of visual expression of the style, using patterns that were well-known throughout Europe. Building at Alberta iela 13 literally dazzle with richness of ornamentation, wherein traditional historical elements are interwoven with various combinations of Art Nouveau motifs. Art Nouveau in Riga is rather restrain and sober, exaggerated decorations generally are not characteristic feature. Rational trends, such as "Perpendicular Art Nouveau", prevail. Nevertheless, buildings usually are rich enough in their decorative finish, which with the development of the style became more and more integrated into the basic architectural form. One of the most peculiar trends of Riga's Art Nouveau architecture is National Romanticism, an attempt of Latvian architects to establish a national style based on local building traditions. It was not a parochial reproduction of vernacular patterns but rather a highly imaginative approach linked with the interpretation of ethnographical and folk art elements. Art Nouveau buildings are pieces of art where every detail is subordinated to the basic idea. The whole central area of the city centre of Riga is a Wold Heritage site due to the Art Nouveau buildings forming a harmonious symphony in stone.

'Dear Green Place' or 'murky simmering Tophet'? Reconciling nature, industry and modernity in Glasgow Style decoration
The very name 'Glasgow' derives from the ancient Gallic Glaschu, meaning 'Dear Green Place', yet for Thomas Carlyle writing in the 1840s, this northerly British city was rapidly becoming "a murky simmering Tophet, of copperas fumes, cotton-fuzz, gin riot, wrath and toil, created by a Demon, governed by a Demon". In this popular and persistent vision of industrial Glasgow, the seething, godless, grimy city was pitted against Nature. The task facing Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his Glasgow contemporaries, therefore, was to rediscover the 'Dear Green Place' through developing a decorative language that would both tap into a primeval, mythological past – the world of the river god Clutha and Saint Enoch – and reconcile Nature with the forces of modernity focussed on the city. Such a symbolic return to origins and preoccupation with organic imagery was being enacted in centres worldwide, but this paper aims to explore the particular sources and meanings of these decorative themes in the context of Glasgow. Studies of Mackintosh as a Pioneer of International Modernism have tended to focus on the structural, architectonic aspects of his oeuvre, but more recent studies relating to the feminine and Symbolist dimensions of the Glasgow Style emphasise the crucial significance of decoration in this relatively austere manifestation of the New Art.

The Watertower as Decor – Exceeding Generic Concepts in Art Nouveau
"…Architecture no longer needed the ornament, it became an ornament." Why do the life reformers, the architects of Art Nouveau take such a particular interest in water towers? The high rising towers are striking structures, form landmarks and contribute excellently to the formation of a city's identity. Visible over a long distance they can be stylistic models. At the beginning of the twentieth century it is still a young building genre. An adequate form must still be found. In addition – as overground witnesses of modern water conduits – the towers stand for progress and a better quality of life. The Art Nouveau water towers become "bodies of expression", which in their compactness contain relations to modern forms and the demand for good design. What becomes evident is the attempt to aestheticize and stylize the technical-functional genre and nevertheless also display the function of the buildings, even if in a symbolic language. The water towers obtain a symbolic valence in connection with the development of city's identity. Categories like those of a striking and modern formal appearance, the emphasis on technical progress, as well as the possibility to rise above everyday life in a symbolic way by climbing up the towers set standards.

Style Liberty in Lombardy: decorative motions, designers, performers and technics
Liberty shows in Lombardy in a wide variety of subjects, which represent quite a full view of the themes and the practical issues that the new style puts both to designers and realizers, as well as the ideal and material attempts to deal with them. The experiences space out from remarkable examples where decorative motions are deeply involved with the general language of the buildings, to more unassuming ones. Excellence is shown in exclusive city palaces as Palazzo Castiglione, Casa Campanini, ex Villa Faccanoni and Villa Berri Meregalli in Milan, or out of town villas, asVilla Bernasconi in Cernobbio, Villa Cirla and villa Poletti in Lanzo d'Intelvi and Villa Faccanoni in Sarnico. Nevertheless really high quality is also shown in bourgeoisie architectures, such as story buildings or city and vacation houses with yards. Also petit bourgeoisie and even popular architectures are quite frequent in cities as Milano, where intire quarters were constructed during this period. The new style fulfills newborn mass tourism demands: magnificent or small hotels and substructures, as the Grand Hotel Campo dei Fiori a Varese, the Casinò Kursal at San Pellegrino Terme, cableways and lake docksas well as new industrial architectures such as the hydroelectric power station of Trezzo d'Adda. One of the main aspects of the material culture that gave impulse to the developement of liberty style was the existence in Lombardy of a net of artisans and budding industries, able enough to deal with the creativity showed by the designers. The developement of industry, and in a particular way the rising of cement industry, influenced deeply the constructive methods. The local production of relief ornamentations in modelled cement and a well-established tradition in grought-iron lead up to superb works. Modelled cement contributed in diffusing a huge repertoire of architural details -due to its lower cost, if compaired to natural stone element's production- and solved lots of decorative issues within affordable budgets. By the other hand, its avalilability encouraged a superficial ormanentation, perhaps ordinary, but yet democratic enough to satisfy the common taste of a range of users, looking for modern and pleasant appearance housing at accessible costs.

Modernista Interiors
Like a promenade, the main intention of this lecture is to reveal private interiors and examples of public spaces in the period of Modernisme in Catalunya (1880-1910). Several fascinating buildings were planned by architects with an important team of collaborators specialised in Arts and Crafts. We cannot examine fully the architecture of Modernisme, but we can describe the kind of work they did and consider the different styles they employed in the most representative genres. Among the topics we will look at are: the evolution of private architecture by Antoni Gaudí, from the first house, Casa Vicens (1883-1888), to Casa Milà, aka La Pedrera (1906-1912); a singular palace he did for the Güell family (1886-1889), a multi-family building for Calvet (1898-1899) and the renovation of Casa Batlló (1904-1906). After that, we will explain examples of the specific language of Lluís Domènech i Montaner: the International Hotel and the Cafè-Restaurant for the International Fair of Barcelona (1888); Casa Lleó Morera and Casa Navàs (c.1902-1904); the Palau de la Música Catalana (1908) and Hospital de Sant Pau (St Paul). Finally, we will look at the architecture of Josep Puig i Cadafalch, from Casa Martí (1895-96) to Casa Amatller (1898-1900). Some of these interiors were decorated with original ornaments, all done in conjunction with artisans or manufacturers like Gaspar Homar, Joan Busquets, Casas Bardés (furniture and wood applications), Lluís Bru (mosaics), Eusebi Arnau (sculpture), Juyol (plaster), Escofet (flooring), Maragliano (mosaics), etc. The guiding thought for the decorative variety of the Modernisme was the ideal of the Gesamtkunstwerk. We can see influences of the past (the history of Catalunya and revival of Gothic), the inspiration of nature and the important influence of Japanese art in the various manifestations of Art nouveau, the art at the crossroads. We want to examine all of this, from the details to a broad overview.

Modernista decorative arts in Terrassa
The decorative arts are those which decorate and complete the architecture. They have been often relegated to a secondary issue in the Catalan modernisme not only for their documentation but also their study. Within the Terrassa's modernisme we point to the following decorative arts: glass, pottery, mosaic, pavements, cabinet works, locksmith, plastering and decorative painting. Local craftsmen worked in Terrassa (carpenters and cabinet makers, locksmiths, plastering and painters decorators) as well as foreigners, who the most of them came from Barcelona (these worked on stained glasses, mosaic, pavements –paviments hidràulics- and decorative pottery). Both, local and foreigner craftsmen used to collaborate with the main architects of teh city: Muncunill, Coll i Bacardí, M. Vinyals and Pascual i Carretero. It can be distinguished two tendences in the local decorative arts: craftsmen who collaborated with LL. Muncunill and followed his designs representing an austere style, and craftsmen inspired by Alexandre de Riquer –who brought the modernisme to Terrassa- representing a more colourist and diverse style.

Motifs of Art Nouveau Décor in Riga and Their Sources
One of the most important issues in regard to the motifs of Art Nouveau architectural décor in Riga concerns its sources; so one has to take up the strategy of studying Art Nouveau and the formal conditions of using established Art Nouveau motifs as well as reasons of why this décor includes a wide spectrum of elements whose iconographical and stylistic character reaches beyond the scope of Art Nouveau. Historicism had played major role in the architectural décor of Riga, as in many other peripheral centres. The evolution towards Art Nouveau often happened through the process of reinterpretation of various neo-style motifs. Even if there were no significant informational obstacles in the assimilation of the new style, architectural décor in Riga retained an influential element of traditionalism fostered by the conservative society and popular ideas of social prestige largely conditioned by the specific social and political situation in Riga. The very same reasons caused an early return to neo-classical motifs and subjects reflecting some kind of patriarchal ideas during the late Art Nouveau period and flourishing of National Romanticism. The main thematic groups of Riga Art Nouveau architectural décor include typical stylistic elements, like motifs of nature, anthropomorphic décor, hybrid creatures and abstract décor as well as distinctive linear approach and musical motifs. But alongside these characteristic Art Nouveau motifs there are elements whose origin is related to the late 19th century – early 20th century "neo-paganism", sometimes attempting to glorify ancient cultures, like Ancient Egyptian, Assyrian or Maya art examples. A wide group of motifs testify to the interest in hermeneutics, theosophy as well as in rather freely interpreted ideas of Rosicrucians and Freemasonry. Interest in emblematic and heraldic motifs was inherited from the 19th century, retaining its significance throughout the period under scrutiny. Compositions and images derived from Symbolism as a European artistic trend backed by belated Romantics or adherents of the classical tradition were still popular at the turn of the 20th century. Particular motifs found in the décor of the most famous historicist buildings (like Paris Opera) were still much in use. These elements were taken from the publications of the 2nd half of the 19th century, for example, from F.S. Meyer's lexicon of ornament as well as Vienna publisher Martin Gerlach's compiled edition Alegorien und Embleme; its first issues appeared already in 1882 and had a great success throughout Europe, including Riga. Contemporary academic salon-type art should be regarded as one of the most important regional sources of decorative art, like several works by German masters of decoration, regarded as authorities in the early 20th century but almost forgotten today (Otto Rieth, Ernst Hottenroth etc.). The issue of sources is closely related to the attitude towards the notion and praxis of imitation specific to the period's architectural décor. Its roots are found in historicism, touching upon the question of local migration of decorative motifs, repeating and reinterpreting a particular motif from one building to another; the motif possibly seemed luckily found or simply eye-catching to the client.

I have moved to digital photography because of it's versatility. Digital photography coupled with Photopaint and Photoshop offers two worlds. The obvious of capturing true moments in time. It also offers the capability of working with the digital images - which can also be from a scanned image - to enhance or create a second piece from that captured moment. I also have restored and tinted old family photos.

- To start a container, fill in the form and press Start:
Note: The start button is actually equivalent to a restart in CARGO's terms; in the case a container with the same handle id already exists then it will be stopped first before your container is started. This also implies that in the case the new container fails to start, the old one will not be restarted.
- To stop, restart, delete or view logs of a container, use the actions on the containers list:
- The Cargo Daemon keeps a persistent record on disk of all the containers that have been submitted. Containers that have been submitted will stay in the list, even when they are stopped. This allows you to manually restart them, or view the logs even after the container is stopped.
- If you want the container to be removed from the list, simply press the delete button.
- Containers can also be submitted with the
autostartproperty, this will automatically restart the container if the daemon notices it is stopped.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office has finished its investigation into a skydiving accident that killed a South Lake Tahoe man in late May, but the Federal Aviation Administration has yet to conclude its inquiry.
Robert Ranieri III, 28, was one of three skydivers who jumped from a helicopter about 8:30 a.m. May 22 and planned on landing near Camp Richardson.
Offshore winds picked up as the trio exited the helicopter and prevented the group from reaching its intended landing site, said Lt. Pete Van Arnum. Ranieri was the last one out of the helicopter and was the farthest away from the shore when he jumped, Van Arnum said. At least two of the skydivers landed in Lake Tahoe's frigid waters.
An autopsy found that Ranieri drowned after landing in the lake near Camp Richardson. His body was found in about 15 feet of water about 10:45 a.m., according to the Sheriff's Office. The other members of the group were unharmed.
Federal Aviation Administration investigators have examined the skydivers' parachutes, but have yet to wrap up their probe, agency spokesman Ian Gregor said during a phone interview last week.
The agency's involvement in investigating skydiving accidents is fairly limited, Gregor added.
"We're investigating to see whether the skydivers' parachutes were properly packed by the appropriate person," Gregor said in a follow-up email. "We have examined the chutes but have not completed our investigation."
Video from a camera mounted on Ranieri's helmet shows his parachute functioning properly, Van Arnum said.
"You can see the chute is fully deployed with no problem," Van Arnum said.
It is unknown how long FAA's investigation will take to conclude, Gregor said.

Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose and distinguish between autoimmune disorders as well as to monitor autoimmune disease progression
When to Get Tested?
When your antinuclear antibody (ANA) test is positive; when you have symptoms that suggest an autoimmune disorder; when monitoring the activity of an autoimmune disorder
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
An extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) panel detects the presence of one or more autoantibodies in the blood that react with proteins in the cell nucleus. These proteins are known as "extractable" because they can be removed from cell nuclei using saline.
Autoantibodies are produced when a person's immune system mistakenly targets and attacks the body's own tissues. This attack can cause inflammation, tissue damage, and other signs and symptoms that are associated with an autoimmune disorder.
Certain autoimmune disorders are characteristically associated with the presence of one or more anti-ENA antibodies. This association can be used to help diagnose an autoimmune disorder and to distinguish between disorders.
The ENA panel typically consists of a group of 4 or 6 autoantibody tests. The number of tests performed will depend on the laboratory and the needs of the health practitioners and patients it serves. Individual ENA panel tests can also be ordered separately.
A 4-test ENA panel will include:

If you could travel to the center of the Earth (or any planet), would you be weightless there?
Correct. If you split the earth up into spherical shells, then the gravity from the shells "above" you cancels out, and you only feel the shells "below" you. When you are in the middle there is nothing "below" you.
Refrence from Wikipedia Gauss & Shell Theorem.
{I am using some simplistic terms, but I don't want to break out surface integrals and radial flux equations}
Edit: Although the inside of the shell will have zero gravity classically, it will also have non zero gravity relativistically. At the perfect center the forces may balance out, yielding an unstable solution, meaning that a small perturbation in position will result in forces that exaggerate this perturbation.
The simplest way to think about it is that there is mass all around you in the center of the Earth so you get an equal gravitational "pull" from all directions. The pulls cancel out so you get no acceleration.
If one assumes constant density for the Earth (which isn't strictly speaking true but it is close enough for this illustration) the gravitational acceleration drops linearly from 1g at the surface to 0 at the center of the Earth. So you'd get a zero if you stepped on a scale at the center of the Earth.
The more complicated explanation is that acceleration due to gravity is the derivative of the gravitational potential. This potential is a minimum at the center of the Earth and grows quadratically up to the surface. It then continues to increase at a lower rate. Since at the exact center is flat (like the bottom of a valley), the derivative which is a measure of the rate of change is zero, and there is no acceleration.
Interestingly, even though you would be weightless there, the effects of gravity are highest at the center of the Earth. You get more gravitational time dilation, for example, than you do at the surface.
I like answers that appeal to symmetry, so I answer this one with a question: If you were at the center, which way would you fall? That tells us you could stay floating there.
You would not be weightless at the center of the Earth. In other words, the Earth does not follow a geodesic. Let me explain.
The Earth is not spherical, it is an oblate spheroid. The acceleration of a uniform non-spherical body in a spherical gravitational field does not follow an inverse square law. The acceleration of the center of mass does not equal the acceleration at the center of mass. An accelerometer fixed at the center of the Earth would read approx 1.75 pgal (1.75e-14 m/$\mathrm{s^2}$), not zero.

David Hammer / Eyewitness News
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter: @davidhammerWWL
NEWORLEANS - Federal prosecutors have charged Rodney Williams with conspiracy to commit bribery by paying off a public official known to be former Mayor Ray Nagin.
It's a story Eyewitness Investigations first broke earlier this month.
Our sources tell us that Rodney W. Williams, former president of Three Fold Consultants LLC, paid Nagin more than $50,000 and was rewarded with no-bid city contracts that, according to public records, added up to $3 million during the last two years of Nagin's administration.
The bill of information unsealed Friday in federal court said that beginning in November 2007, Public Official A who served the exact time Nagin was in office helped Williams' business interests in exchange for payoffs. And beginning in or near January 2008, Williams began a series of payoffs through wire transfers to Nagin 'in connection with obtaining work with the city of New Orleans.'
With January marking five years since the alleged payoffs began and other statute of limitations issues looming, WWL-TV Legal Analyst Chick Foret expects the grand jury to indict Nagin soon.
'If indeed the government is concerned about prescription and statute of limitations, which in my opinion they need to be, it looks like Mayor Nagin is going to be indicted shortly,'Foret said.
The charges against Williams were first filed Nov. 16, four days after we reported that Williams was prepared to plead guilty. But the charges were just unsealed Friday. A hearing has already been set for Wednesday so Williams can plead guilty.
Williams is scheduled for arraignment Monday, where he will have to enter a not guilty plea. He's then expected to change his plea to guilty on Wednesday and sources have told us he's ready to testify against Nagin.
Williams' attorney, Ralph Capitelli, declined to comment. Nagin's defense lawyer, Robert Jenkins, did not respond to requests for comment.
The alleged payments by Williams were made by interstate wire transfer, which leads to the charge of honest services wire fraud.
The payments of more than $50,000 apparently helped launch Three Fold as a go-to construction design firm in Nagin's City Hall. Starting in January 2008, Three Fold collected more than $3 million from the Nagin administration to design and manage street and sidewalk repairs, downtown bike racks, NORD playground projects, fire houses and more.
Williams and Three Fold also contributed more than $13,000 to Nagin's election campaigns. Williams was removed as president of the company a few months ago.
Three Fold and Williams appear to have little, if anything, to do with the other people the feds have lined up to testify against Nagin: former aides Greg Meffert and Anthony Jones and contractors Mark St. Pierre, Aaron Bennett and Frank Fradella.
Nagin was expected to fight those allegations by contending he did nothing special for those contractors, even if they did give him exotic vacations or other freebies. For instance, with St. Pierre who paid for Nagin vacations and campaign parties through Meffert Nagin always contended that he thought Meffert had paid, not a vendor.
Or with Fradella -- who pleaded guilty in June to funneling $50,000 to Nagin and sending him truckloads of free granite for the Nagin family countertop firm Nagin could argue that Fradella's company got its city work through open bidding.
Sources tell us that's not the case with Williams and Three Fold, which got at least some of their deals through no-bid arrangements and through a process for professional services work that Nagin controlled and kept secret.
In at least one case, our sources told us that Three Fold was considered unqualified for a contract by a panel that reviewed professional services firms, but Nagin handed them the deal anyway.
'In Mr. Fradella's situation, there may not have been the classic quid pro quo. It was a public bid situation in Mr. Fradella's case,' Foret said. 'In this situation, it looks like Mr. Williams has more of a quid pro quo. It was a selection that was made by former Mayor Nagin. So not only is the amount and the quantity of the evidence building against Ray Nagin but also it appears to me in my opinion, the quality of the evidince is building against Ray Nagin.'
The bill of information unsealed today in court also says that Williams and the Public Official A created documents to conceal the true reason for the payoffs. Our sources say that's similar to an arrangement with Fradella, in which Nagin created ownership documents for his granite countertop business, Stone Age LLC.
Our sources say that Michael McGrath, the chairman of Fradella's company who allegedly paid Nagin $50,000 in June 2008, got bogus Stone Age ownership documents in return. Other sources tell us that Williams got the same deal to make it look like his alleged payoffs were in return for a stake in Stone Age.
Particularly important there, our sources say that Nagin's sons, Jeremy and Jarin, who owned and operated Stone Age with their father, were involved in the discussions to provide bogus ownership documents to Williams. The sons, who lived with their father into adulthood, have already been called before the grand jury to testify.
Foret suspects the former mayor will have to worry about charges against his closely knit family.
'Not only does Ray Nagin have to worry about himself as a likely defendant, he's got to worry about whether or not the government is going to focus in on his sons and the granite business that his sons were involved in,'Foret said.
Stone Age ceased operations in January 2009 and only Nagin and his two sons were listed as owners in public records.

Comments about Bar Mitts Handlebar Mittens:
These really keep your hands warm in any temperature I ride in, even down to the single digits and quite likely below that. I wear light gloves under them and never have cold hands.
I have the style for bar ends and the ends keep the mitts in place quite nicely.
The only things I don't like about them are very minor:
1. There is a zipper you use after you put them on your bars to close them up and that zipper is almost impossible to zip up with gloves on so if you get to where you're riding and want to put them on, you need to do it bare handed which isn't always pleasant. Wish they'd just used velcro and no zipper.
2. If I use mine on a bike without bar ends, they tend to fall down unless you get the internal velcro loop tight on the end of your bars which is a little difficult to do out in the cold (and even not out in the cold).
But those are minor nits, the mitts work amazingly well. You won't regret buying them!

Comments about Bar Mitts Handlebar Mittens:
First of all they work great below 50 degrees f. I left them on the bars on a mid 50's degree f day and I found myself holding the bars outside the bar mitts. They really are the greatest thing to happen to hands since the handlebar. I can wear just light fingerless gloves down to 25 degrees f with these. If you wear a bulky jacket when riding you will have compatability issues with the opening of the bar mitts.

Syrian state media claims rebels fire chemical weapons
Syrian state media reports claimed on Tuesday that members of the rebel forces have fired chemical weapons in Aleppo province, the BBC reported.
According to the SANA news agency, "Terrorists launched a missile containing chemical products into the region of Khan al-Assal in the province of Aleppo, killing 15 people, mainly civilians", referring to the opposition fighters.
However, rebels denied the claim to the Associated Press news agency.
There have been repeated reports out of Syria that regime forces have used chemical weapons but so far they are unsubstantiated.
According to the Aleppo Media Center, a pro-opposition organization, "poisonous gases" have been fired in the Aleppo area in the north of the country but these were fired by regime forces.
Top Headlines
I'm not even going to read all of this article. Let me say that I do not believe what I'm reading. Going into a third year of fighting for Syria's cause to take Assad down, all the strides that have been made, all done in a stepwise fashion and which has gained recognition, acceptance, and support from the Friends for a Free Syria Peace Coalition, WOULD NOT risk harm to Syrian people by firing chemical weapons. This is not what the rebels are about. I personally feel this is a ploy to cast doubt an misgivings about the rebels purpose to bring freedom to Syria The only person who would stand to gain by spreading this propaganda is Bashar al-Assad. There is no purpose for the rebels to conduct themselves with chemial warfare. No person fighting for a legitimate national cause is going to jeopardize the gain and the end result they are seeking to obtain. The media would be wise to seek other sources to verify this information. I am one voice in America who sees it as a distraction in the midst of the rebels gaining ground.
What a joke Google News has become.

Best Places to get a Philadelphia Cheesesteak
No visit to Philadelphia is complete without trying a Philadelphia Cheesesteak. It is one of the favourite foods of the city and has been around since the early 20th century.
A Cheesesteak is basically a sandwich made of thinly sliced pieces of beef in a long roll, topped with melted cheese.
It is widely believed that Pat and Harry Olivieri invented the Cheesesteak by serving chopped up steak in a roll at their hot dog stand near the Italian Market in the early 1930s. These steak sandwiches became so popular that Pat soon opened his own restaurant. This restaurant still exists today as Pat's King of Steak on 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue.
Who first added cheese to the sandwich is unclear. But what is clear, is that it was Provolone cheese that originally topped the steak.
Pat's biggest rival is Geno's Steaks, located just across the street. Their rivalry is legendary and it has become a personal lifestyle statement at which place you choose to eat your Cheesesteak. Today every Philadelphian has their own favourite place to get its Cheesesteak and you can find different versions in all kinds of places - from fast food restaurants to high end gourmet temples.
Our staff at the hostel has of course its own favourite Cheesesteak restaurant and is happy to share it with you.
We recommend South Street as the place to go. Try a Cheesesteak at Jim's on South and 4th or SOS (Steaks on South) on South and 3rd.

Gallery: Portrait of Steve Jobs Made With Over 3,500 Apples
Lefebvre used a 2' x 2' grid system to loosely guide his artistic creation.
The enormous 22′ by 15′ feat is made from over 3,500 apples. Lefebvre bought a few crates of deer apples, which are not edible by humans, and got to work. Using a 2′ x 2′ grid system and a portrait of Steve Jobs that appeared on the cover of Time magazine to loosely guide his creation, the project took between 40 and 50 hours to complete. It has received much attention and remains in tact for now. The apples will likely eventually be consumed by the orchards three resident deer.

VANCEBORO –West Craven must have known what it was doing all along in scheduling a brutal non-conference slate.
The Eagles (3-1) defeated Washington (2-2), 14-7, Friday to improve to 3-1 on the young season.
"Our defense was just outstanding tonight," West Craven coach Matt Riggsbee said. "We have a motto to be a bend-but-don't-break defense and we gameplanned against what they did well and it was a very successful gameplan."
On the first drive of the game, as Washington was punting from its own 15-yard line, Eagle linebacker Tyquail Raynor penetrated the line and blocked the Brodie West punt straight into the air.
Tyrone Brown plucked it from the air and strolled into the end zone to put the Eagles up 7-0.
"The blocked punt and the touchdown was just all effort," Raynor said. "On the block I felt the ball when I got it and just had excitement seeing Ty (Brown) run it in for a touchdown. With running the ball in for the score, I just fought, with all I had to get through tackles and get in."
Raynor added a rushing score from two yards out after Brown reeled in a 57-yard strike from Alkeim Harley.
But perhaps the biggest play of the night was made by one of the youngest Eagles.
Freshman Claron Mims lined up at linebacker, read Pam Pack quarterback Brodie West perfectly, and intercepted a pass with 2:19 on the clock to seal the victory.
"I saw their QB roll out and I dropped back into coverage and just was in the right place at the right time," Mims said. "It means a lot to me to make that play as a freshman. My teammates push me every day in practice to help me raise my play."
Harley was 9-for-23 passing for 173 yards and zero interceptions.
Sophomore Danny Harvey caught five passes for 105 yards to lead the receiving corps.
The Eagles victory came despite not cashing on two red zone opportunities, a missed field goal and 13 penalties for 140 yards.
Riggsbee was thrilled his talented freshman came up with the game's most crucial play, but not surprised.
"Claron (Mims) is a special freshman," Riggsbee said. "He has a chance to have a bright future and big time players make big time plays and that's what he did tonight and it was definitely what we needed."
West Craven travels to D.H. Conley next Friday for its final non-conference game before opening Coastal Conference play at home versus West Carteret in two weeks.

You would have to jailbreak a apple tv 2 and install plex/xmbc. There is no known jailbreak yet for apple tv 3.
Alternatively maybe you should look at other media streaming devices that support streaming of multiple video formats.

Converting not too difficult
It's really not that hard to convert these files to .mp4 for iTunes.
I use Videora AppleTV converter. It's completely free & you can just queue up all the files, it will automatically change them to the right format, retaining image & sound quality & will even load them into itunes for you.
100 movies may take a day or two to convert, but its all done automatically without any actions from you.

A relatively simple and economical way to do it is with an iPhone/iPad and Air Video Server. The app costs $1.99 or $2.99
The beta version of the server does x264 pass-thru, so there's no load on your PC, except for the conversion of the audio.
If you don't have an iPhone or an iPad, then you'll either need to convert all your files, or use another streaming device.

Thanks all. Due to Apple imposed limitations on the device, I just went ahead and got the WD TV Live Streaming Media Player Wi-Fi 1080p unit. Plays everything you can throw at it - natively. No converting. Same price.

I went the WDTV Live route a while back as well and it is great for those with many different formats of movies and being able to connect it to an external storage device while on the go.
More recently I have been getting more and more into the whole Apple ecosystem and just enjoy how easy everything works together, I just had to "make" all my movies play nice. Basically converting MKV's to mp4 or m4v is not that time consuming at all, it is basically just changing the file container and I haven't noticed much if any quality loss.
Now going from avi to mp4, which I am still in the process of, takes what seems like forever.
It's just nice that I can now host all of my movies on 1 small computer in iTunes and access them easily over every Mac and iOS device that comes into the house as well as using Airplay more and more.
I still use the WDTV when we go RV'ing cause it's easier to take 1 set top box and a hard drive than moving the Mac Mini, Airport Extreme, AppleTV and Hard Drive and creating a network to watch movies

All of my movies have been converted and about 1/2 of the TV series.
Most of the conversions I set up to work through the night, some days I was able to convert 50+ movies / day. Right now I'm just picking and choosing TV series.
If you ever get interested in doing the same.
I suggest MKV2M4V (off the app store) to convert the mkv files.
iVI (off the app store) for any avi's or other formats.
iDentify (off the app store) for bulk renaming/ adding metadata to files.
I've used free and purchased most of the conversion software on and off the app store and these are the one's I had the most success with.

Anotehr excellent choice is iFFMpeg, which, so far, I've found excellent.
The biggest problems
Let's start with the biggest, not-fixable problems of the app so that you don't waste more time reading this article if you see an absolute stumbling-block.
There are two of them:
- the app can't transfer (by reencoding if needed) more than two original audio tracks. This is a major problem if you want to retain, say, all the commentary tracks of a video. For example, the well-known Finnish sci-fi parody Iron Sky has two commentary tracks (Finnish and English) and two main audio tracks (one 5.1 and one 2-channel AC-3 tracks, having the same audio). This is at least three tracks if you want to preserve both commentaries, along with either of the main audio tracks.
- there is absolutely no support for embedded subtitles at all. It only supports external SRT subs, which means you need to extract them first with, say, Subler. This, should you want to use this app in batch mode, would result in a lot of additional work. (Needless to say, top remuxers like the most recommended MP4Tools and Subler both support embedded subtracks. Actually, Subler even supports their bitmap versions too both OCR'ing and pass-through'ing-wise.)
OK, these are the major problems of the app you must be aware of. Don't even think of purchasing the app if they're a problem.
Before going further and I quickly explain how the app should be used, I tell you more of the advantages / disadvantages of the app. After all, there are a lot of alternatives on the market it's better to decide if you need this app as quickly as possible.
Accepts both M4V (MP4 / MOV) and MKV input, meaning you can quickly, say, downmix the AC3 track of an already-converted M4V file now that AC3 is no longer supported in the vast majority of players.
Very easy-to-setup for batch mode (to convert more than one video at a time) unlike MP4/MKVTools, where you do have to make some additional settings. Batch mode is particularly good compared to Subler, which has very weak batch support.
Cheap (compared to almost all the other remuxers; except for, of course, the free Subler).
Cons (in addition to the ones already explained)
Somewhat slow conversion, at least compared to the, in this regard, best tools (Subler, MP4Tools, AnyVideo Converter HD). It's still way faster than, say, iVI (Pro).
No support for video conversion for non-H.264 (for example, VC-1) input, unlike with MP4/MKVTools / iVI.
Uses at least twice the movie's filesize for temp files can be an issue when, to speed things up, you use a small(er) SSD to write the target movie file to.

Saved me from converting anything since everything is done on the fly.
The free app works well too.

Play the movie in VLC and then Airplay to your ATV
Purchase Beamer ($13) when you drop your AVI, MKV or what ever it will automatically airplay to the ATV. I love Beamer and it now supports 5.1 audio.
If you have a PC you have little choice but to re-encode to MP4 and play thru iTunes.

I too am in the OP's situation (considering buying Apple Tv to stream stuff from my Windows PC to AppleTV), but wouldn't AirParrot work? That's what I am thinking of using after I buy my AppleTv
|Mar 22, 2013, 05:27 AM
Surprised noone has mentioned iFlicks. Yes, it's a paid app, but it's a very good one.
It supports header switching on the MKV file to MP4 so converting a full length movie takes maybe 5 minutes at the most. Also adds metadata and subtitles (software version, so you can turn on and off from the AppleTV) and supports folder actions.
It's on the Mac App Store. Website here: http://iflicksapp.com
Been using it for years and it's been a great experience.
