Purchase Reason
bad resolution
Purchase Reason
The package was two weeks late... It was supposed to be a gift receipt so the owner of this beautiful map (my boyfriend) didn't know how much I paid for it... Which is a totally useless function as all the invoice info arrived with the package. I opted for standard shipping and yet duty was still due AT THE DOOR upon receiving the map, which I was not expecting!
All that besides, IT IS A BEAUTIFUL MAP. The dark wood framing accents it beautifully, it's a perfect fit on the wall - and they spelt Chisinau correctly! (Boyfriend's hometown) yet Romania's capital is spelt the English way *snickers*
All around, a good purchase!
Purchase Reason
It's a perfect size to fit in my bathroom and some interest to the space - it was extremely easy to hang - the only reason I have it 4 stars was it looked just slightly cheap with the way it was mounted it felt light weight but for a bathroom piece it works fine
Purchase Reason
I bought this oversized map as a gift for father's day. We are going to mount it on foam board, frame it and hang it in the dinning room with pins placed at the countries we've visited and countries where we have friends, etc. This is to serve as a great conversation piece and inspiration for the family. The one disappointing factor is that the type on the map looks pixelated, which tells me that the original art was not meant to be enlarged this big. It was a stretch, literally speaking. Thus the art work just didn't give the quality look I expected even though the printing job itself and the paper used was fine. It give that cheap "pirated" look from a third world country. It would be useful if Art.com has a quality control person to inspect the output and suitability of the manipulation of the original art. This map might be OK in the smaller sizes, but I definitely don't recommend the oversized ones.
Purchase Reason
Very wide plain white border around map, making most of the poster size pretty dull. Very small image.
Service and delivery comments:
Poster arrived on time, with packaging in good condition... however, when I unrolled it I realized it had MANY wrinkles all over that I couldn't flatten or iron out. I was VERY disappointed with the care taken in the packaging of the product and the general quality of the paper. I had to cut it down and matte it and it still looks incredibly cheap when framed because of the wrinkles. What a waste of money!!

The Mojo Tour 2010 rolled on to Omaha, NE on Wednesday after a triumphant show in St. Paul, Minnesota the night before.
Athens, Georgia-based rockers Drive-By Truckers joined up with the tour in St. Paul as the new opening act replacing Joe Cocker, and their hard-driving, road-worn rock 'n roll has been a good change of pace that has seemingly worn off the Heartbreakers. Tom seemed to snarl even more defiantly during "I Won't Back Down," and Mike Campbell's edgy guitar riffs over the galloping rhythm of "Drivin' Down to Georgia" played the perfect foil to Benmont Tench's delicate piano runs.
"First Flash of Freedom" is emerging as a nightly highlight. The song's expansiveness and airiness is reminiscent of the best of the classic Coltrane Quintet. New radio hit "I Should Have Known It" is the latest in Tom's long line of songs directed at lovers scorned, and "Jefferson Jericho Blues" makes you wonder why no one else has mined the fruitful story of ol' Tom Jefferson and his midnight creepin' with Sally Hemings.
Check back next week for more pictures, videos and recaps from Summerfest in Milwaukee as the Mojo Summer 2010 tour wraps up the first leg!

Lovely presentation
Of course it's exciting to get your invitations but it was made even better by Magnet Street's thoughtful presentation. The charming blue box with helpful hints in addition to the invites were a pleasant surprise. And with the generous discount code, this was the best price for wedding paper I found for the quality it offered!
Good overall worth the money...
I am pleased with my invitations and thank you cards, also got RSVP's next it will be my wedding menu etc...
Amazing invitation
My wedding invitations came out beautifully. The quality & quantity for the price is great. I was able to customize every color and every font. Thanks to the "Just One" option, I was able to see how the invite looked in person. I realized I wanted the font larger and some of the colors lighter. I was able to make the changes before I committed to my final order and I couldn't be happier. I have no complaints about this product :)
This was my second order through Magnet Street. I have been 110% pleased! The selection they have compares to none other. I received my order quicker than I thought possible. The invites themselves are top quality card stock! They are beautiful and perfect! I did need to call them when designing my invite because I wanted to add something to the back and their customer service person was so very polite, helpful and friendly! They said no problem and did as I asked! I will most definitely use them again!
Floral ornament review
What a great card! Great quality, great packaging to reach me, great customer service! Just great all around! I will be using Magnet Street in the future and I asked my Maid of Honor to use them for other necessary invites as well!

Energy Department Efficiency Project Earns R&D Magazine Editor's Choice Award
December 5, 2012
The Sandia Cooler—an innovative energy efficiency technology developed at the Sandia National Laboratories—is one of three emerging technologies to receive R&D Magazine's 2012 Editor's Choice Award. The Sandia Cooler, which efficiently cools processor chips in computer systems, was recognized earlier this year with one of the magazine's annual R&D 100 awards. Sandia National Laboratories developed this technology with support from the Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
The Sandia Cooler technology significantly improves the way heat is transferred and cooled in computers and microelectronics by addressing the heat sink boundary layer—a longstanding bottleneck to heat transfer in conventional coolers. Data centers and other large-scale computing environments could benefit from this technology, as it significantly reduces the energy needed to cool the processor chips used in these facilities.
Additionally, the Sandia Cooler can benefit other applications where thermal management and energy efficiency are important, particularly with heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC). The Sandia Cooler also functions in a smaller, quieter package compared to a standard central processing unit (CPU) cooler, and greatly improves resistance to dust in the heat exchanger fins.
Since 1962, R&D Magazine has presented awards for innovative technology developments that offer promising commercial potential. Researchers funded by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy received 12 of the R&D 100 awards in 2012, and the Department of Energy as a whole won a total of 36 R&D 100 awards across all of its research and development programs.
The Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) accelerates development and facilitates deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and market-based solutions that strengthen U.S. energy security, environmental quality, and economic vitality. Learn more about EERE's emerging building technologies and Sandia National Laboratories' energy programs.

Ummm...I'm thinking the 2002 is. And I don't think the E30 is really old enough to be called a classic, either.
how about last bastion of classic BMW Styling?
Nah...the E34 would be closer...hell even the last 7-series (E what?). The current 3-series and the '97-'03 5-series are pretty good evolutions of the BMW design theme as well.
You know, I don't mind the Bangled Bimmers so much, but I'm not going to pretend that they look like BMWs.

I wanted an E30 so badly in 1988 when I was 16 - that was 1988.
I still like E30's but the desire to have one isn't there.
But then I see pics of E30 M3's and the desire comes right back again!
If they sold the E30 Touring here in the US I'd have to buy one.
...err, another one. E30, that is.
Present: MKVII Golf S
Past: S2000, M3, RSX, GTI, and others
I had been think of getting an E30 lately, but the Badges wouldn't last one night in my neighbourhood.
My next car will probably be a Saab.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- Miami rallied for the doubles point, then won four singles matches to defeat Western Michigan 5-2 Friday in a battle of first-place teams in the Mid-American Conference. With the victory, the RedHawks clinch a spot in the MAC Tournament, which this year features just six teams, and put themselves in position to earn the No. 1 seed with a victory tomorrow.
WMU (11-11, 4-2) stormed out to an 8-1 victory in No. 1 doubles, but couldn't earn the point. Christiana Raymond and Ramona Costea opened a 5-1 lead at No. 3, then held on for an 8-4 win to even the score. In the decisive No. 2 match, Alix Thurman and Nimisha Mohan trailed 4-3, but won the next two games for a 5-4 advantage. The Broncos duo tied the match at 5, then the teams traded games for a 6-6 score.
Singles matches at Nos. 2 and 3 quickly went to Miami, putting the RedHawks (9-12, 5-1) ahead 3-0. Thurman finished off her opponent 6-1, 6-4, just minutes before Raymond posted a 6-2, 6-0 victory. Ana Rajkovic clinched the victory for Miami with a 6-4, 6-0 win at No. 5.
After Western Michigan gained its first point with a 7-5, 6-0 victory at No. 4, Mohan added to the lead with a 6-4, 7-5 win in the top flight. The Broncos closed the match by winning at No. 6, 7-5, 6-4.
Miami continues its MAC road swing tomorrow afternoon at Bowling Green. The RedHawks need only a victory over the Falcons to clinch at least a share of the MAC title and the No. 1 seed at the conference tournament later this month.

An introduction to data and information
Ever wondered how a computer processes data into information? This unit will help you...
Ever wondered how a computer processes data into information? This unit will help you to understand the distinction between the two and examines how a computer-based society impacts on daily life. You will learn what computers can do with data to produce information and how computers can be used to work with data and search for it, control machines, and support commercial operations.
After studying this unit you should be able to:
- identify some of the instances in daily life where a computer is, or is likely to be, involved;
- given a simple scenario, list most of the obvious information or data required by the parties in that scenario, and give some examples of how the information or data might be used;
- explain briefly what perceptual data is, and how it is turned into a form that can be used by a person for reasoning or by a computer for processing;
- given a figure, identify whether it is a sign and, if so, what it symbolises;
- describe, in simple terms, the difference between data and information;
- give a simple explanation of why computers are important to people in terms of data and information;
- describe what a parameter is and identify the parameters in a particular scenario;
- explain in simple terms what a computer program is, and why one is necessary;
- explain the role of the computer with respect to the data given to it;
- make use of a search engine to find websites corresponding to a topic of your choice, using some of the advanced search features, and be able to state how many computers (at a minimum) are involved in using a search engine and which role each has;
- understand what a gateway is and what advantages it offers a user in searching for a topic;
- briefly explain how requirements (e.g. considering the environment in which a computer might be used) affect the presentation of information, giving a simple example;
- list some of the problems raised by very large databases even when the basic unit of data is very simple;
- explain briefly what advantages a computer system can offer a creative artist and what characteristic enables it to do so;
- describe briefly the elements of a distributed system that are needed for selling on the web;
- describe the role of computers in controlling mechanical devices;
- explain the role of sensors and actuators in a computer-controlled application, given a brief description of that application;
- identify some simple safety considerations in a computer-controlled application;
- identify appropriate information displays in a given situation.

Computers are used to find, store, process and share data and information. The World Wide Web is an example of a vast store of information, which can be searched. This material will introduce you to what a web browser is and how to use one. The use of search engines to find information more effectively on the web will also be demonstrated. This unit looks at how data is transformed into information and relates the topics of data and information to the computer. These are fundamental issues in an understanding of the way in which the computer has shaped and changed contemporary life.

LACBC to Light Up the Night with "Operation Firefly"October 31, 2012 at 3:18 pm | Posted in Bike News, Get Involved, LACBC Events, Resources | 6 Comments
Inspired by the changing of the seasons and the end of Daylight Savings time, we are proud to announce the launch of "Operation Firefly," a bicycle light distribution and safety education program in an effort to ensure Angelenos riding bicycles at night are seen by motorists and other users of the road.
LACBC's "Team Firefly" volunteers will be handing out front and rear lights during night-time street distributions all over Los Angeles. Operation Firefly's first street distribution will take place during the week following the November 4th time change. "Our goal is to seek out people riding without lights for various reasons, especially riders who may not have the means or time to acquire lights on their own," said Education Director Colin Bogart. LACBC has invested in a few hundred light sets and intends to continue weekly street distributions until all the lights are gone.
Following the November 4th time change, more bicyclists will be riding the streets after the sun has gone down. Legally, bicyclists are required to use a front white light with side, rear, and pedal reflectors (CVC 21201). "Many bicyclists don't know this and frequently ride at night without the required lights and reflectors," said Jennifer Klausner, the nonprofit's Executive Director. "This can lead to citations from police, but more importantly, riding at night without lights and reflectors is not safe."
In addition to front and rear lights, LACBC will be distributing Operation Firefly spokecards in English and Spanish. The spokecards will provide a summary of the California Vehicle Code requirements while riding at night along with the following information:
- A front light helps prevent the most common collisions – those with oncoming or cross traffic.
- A rear red light is not required, but it is recommended.
- Be extra alert at night. Lights help, but they don't guarantee that drivers will see you.
- Wear a reflective vest, clothing, or arm/leg bands.
- Affix reflective tape to your bike, helmet, or shoes.
- Use extra lights affixed to your wheels, bike frame, or helmet.
- Wear white or light colored clothing.
The spokecards will be distributed with the lights, to LACBC members, at events, through local bike shops, and through partner organizations.
Anyone can support Operation Firefly by making a tax-deductible donation or by purchasing a set of lights from LACBC for $20. "For every set we sell," added Colin Bogart, "we can give away another set! If we receive enough donations or sell enough light sets, we can keep Operation Firefly going all winter, and possibly all next year."
For more information or to make a donation/purchase lights, contact LACBC at 213 629-2142 or visit the Operation Firefly website page.

Russian Winter
Russian Winter (Hardcover)
Indie Next ListSeptember 2010
This narrative pas de deux binds Nina Revskaya's mysterious past as the Bolshoi Ballet's rising young star with her reclusive present as an anonymous benefactor of the Boston arts scene. When a rash, youthful decision based on jealousy and insecurity sets events spinning out of her control, Nina spends the rest of her life guarding a dark secret. With this sweeping story of art, love, and Soviet politics come hints of intrigue and betrayal, and even those with the most dazzling talent cannot protect themselves against damaging accusations. -- Emily Crowe, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA
A mysterious jewel holds the key to a life-changing secret, in this breathtaking tale of love and art, betrayal and redemption.
When she decides to auction her remarkable jewelry collection, Nina Revskaya, once a great star of the Bolshoi Ballet, believes she has finally drawn a curtain on her past. Instead, the former ballerina finds herself overwhelmed by memories of her homeland and of the events, both glorious and heartbreaking, that changed the course of her life half a century ago.
It was in Russia that she discovered the magic of the theater; that she fell in love with the poet Viktor Elsin; that she and her dearest companionsGersh, a brilliant composer, and the exquisite Vera, Ninas closest friendbecame victims of Stalinist aggression. And it was in Russia that a terrible discovery incited a deadly act of betrayaland an ingenious escape that led Nina to the West and eventually to Boston.
Nina has kept her secrets for half a lifetime. But two people will not let the past rest: Drew Brooks, an inquisitive young associate at a Boston auction house, and Grigori Solodin, a professor of Russian who believes that a unique set of jewels may hold the key to his own ambiguous past. Together these unlikely partners begin to unravel a mystery surrounding a love letter, a poem, and a necklace of unknown provenance, setting in motion a series of revelations that will have life-altering consequences for them all.
Interweaving past and present, Moscow and New England, the backstage tumult of the dance world and the transformative power of art, Daphne Kalotays luminous first novela literary page-turner of the highest ordercaptures the uncertainty and terror of individuals powerless to withstand the forces of history, while affirming that even in times of great strife, the human spirit reaches for beauty and grace, forgiveness and transcendence.

A contour line (also level set, isopleth, isoline, isogram or isarithm) of a function of two variables is a curve along which the function has a constant value. In cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. A contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness of slopes. The contour interval of a contour map is the difference in elevation between successive contour lines.
The prefix iso-, from the Greek prefix ισος ("equal"), is used for descriptive names of map lines that join points of equal value.
More generally, a contour line for a function of two variables is a curve connecting points where the function has a same particular value. The gradient of the function is always perpendicular to the contour lines. When the lines are close together the length of the gradient is large: the variation is steep. If adjacent contour lines are of the same line width, the direction of the gradient cannot be determined from the contour lines alone. However if contour lines rotate through three or more widths, or if the lines are numerically labelled, then the direction of the gradient can also be determined from the contour lines.
Contour lines are curved or straight lines on a map describing the intersection of a real or hypothetical surface with one or more horizontal planes. The configuration of these contours allows map readers to infer relative gradient of a parameter and estimate that parameter at specific places. Contour lines may be either traced on a visible three-dimensional model of the surface, as when a photogrammetrist viewing a stereo-model plots elevation contours, or interpolated from estimated surface elevations, as when a computer program threads contours through a network of observation points of area centroids. In the latter case, the method of interpolation affects the reliability of individual isolines and their portrayal of slope, pits and peaks (see Davis, 1986, Statistics and data analysis in geology).
In general, an isogon is a line along which an angle is held constant. "Iso-" can be replaced with "isallo-" to specify a contour line connecting points where a variable changes at the same rate during a given time period.
Meteorological contour lines are based on generalization from point data received from weather stations. Weather stations are seldom exactly positioned at a contour line (when they are, this indicates a measurement precisely equal to the value of the contour). Instead, lines are drawn to best approximate the locations of exact values, based on the scattered information points available.
Meteorological contour maps may present collected data such as actual air pressure at a given time, or generalized data such as average pressure over a period of time, or forecast data such as predicted air pressure at some point in the future
Thermodynamic diagrams use multiple overlapping contour sets (including isobars and isotherms) to present a picture the major thermodynamic factors in a weather system.
An isostere is a line of constant atmospheric density
An isotherm (from θερμη or thermē, meaning 'heat') is a line that connects points on a map that have the same temperature. Therefore, all points through which an isotherm passes have the same temperatures at the time indicated. Generally, isotherms representing 5°C or 10°F temperature differences are used, but any interval may be chosen.
An isogeotherm is a line of equal mean annual temperature. An isocheim is a line of equal mean winter temperature, and an isothere is a line of equal mean summer temperature.
An isohel (from έλιος or helios, meaning 'sun') is a line of equal or constant solar radiation.
An isohume is a line of constant relative humidity, while a isodrosotherm (from δροσος or drosos, meaning 'dew', and θερμη or therme, meaning 'heat') is a line of equal or constant dew point.
An isoneph is a line indicating equal cloud cover.
An isochalaz is a line of constant frequency of hail storms.
Snow cover is frequently shown as a contour-line map.
Contours are one of several common methods used to denote elevation or altitude and depth on maps. From these contours, a sense of the general terrain can be determined. They are used at a variety of scales, from large-scale engineering drawings and architectural plans, through topographic maps up to continental-scale maps.
"Contour line" is the most common usage in cartography, but isobath for underwater depths on bathymetric maps and isohypse for elevations are also used. The process of drawing isohypse contour lines on a map is called isopletion.
In cartography, a contour interval is any space between contour lines, representing a difference in elevation between the lines. When calculated as a ratio against the map scale, a sense of the hilliness of the terrain can be derived.
Indifference curves are used to show bundles of goods to which a person would assign equal utility. In political science an analogous method is used in understanding coalitions (for example the diagram in Laver and Shepsle's work)
Isolines can also be used to delineate qualitative differences. An isogloss, for example, is used in mapping the geographic spread of linguistic features.
Contour lines are also used in non-geographic charts in economics. An isoquant is a line of equal production quantity, and an isocost shows equal production costs.
By around 1843, when the Ordnance Survey started to regularly record contour lines in Great Britain and Ireland, they were already in general use in European countries. Isobaths were not routinely used on nautical charts until those of Russia from 1834, and those of Britain from 1838.
When maps with contour lines became common, the idea spread to other applications. Perhaps the latest to develop are air quality and noise pollution contour maps, which first appeared in the USA, in approximately 1970, largely as a result of national legislation requiring spatial delineation of these parameters. In 2007, Pictometry was the first to allow users to dynamically generate elevation contour lines to be laid over oblique images.
To maximize readability of contour maps, there are several design choices available to the map creator, principally line weight, line color, line type and method of numerical marking.
Line weight is simply the darkness or thickness of the line used. This choice is made based upon the least intrusive form of contours that enable the reader to decipher the background information in the map itself. If there is little or no content on the base map, the contour lines may be drawn with relatively heavy thickness. Also, for many forms of contours such as topographic maps, it is common to vary the line weight and/or color, so that a different line characteristic occurs for certain numerical values. For example, in the topographic map above, the even hundred foot elevations are shown in a different weight from the twenty foot intervals.
Line color is the choice of any number of pigments that suit the display. Sometimes a sheen or gloss is used as well as color to set the contour lines apart from the base map. Line colour can be varied to show other information; on some Swiss maps, the contour lines are changed from brown to grey to indicate bare rock and scree.
Line type refers to whether the basic contour line is solid, dashed, dotted or broken in some other pattern to create the desired effect. Dotted or dashed lines are often used when the underlying base map conveys very important (or difficult to read) information. Broken line types are used when the location of the contour line is inferred.
Numerical marking is the manner of denoting the arithmetical the values of contour lines. This can be done by placing numbers along some of the contour lines, typically using interpolation for intervening lines. The direction of these text labels is often used to indicate the direction of the slope. Alternatively a map key can be produced associating the contours with their values.
Most commonly contour lines are drawn in plan view. or as an observer in space would view the earth's surface: ordinary map form. However, some parameters can often be displayed in profile view showing a vertical profile of the parameter mapped. Some of the most common parameters mapped in profile are air pollutant concentrations and sound levels. In each of those cases it may be important to analyze (air pollutant concentrations or sound levels) at varying heights so as to determine the air quality or noise health effects on people at different elevations, for example, living on different floor levels of an urban apartment. In actuality, both plan and profile view contour maps are used in air pollution and noise pollution studies.
Labels are a critical component of elevation maps. A properly labeled contour map helps the reader to quickly interpret the shape of the terrain. If numbers are placed close to each other, it means that the terrain is steep. Labels should be placed along a slightly curved line "pointing" to the summit or nadir, from several directions if possible, making the visual identification of the summit or nadir easy.
Manual labeling of contour maps is a time-consuming process, however, there are a few software systems that can do the job automatically and in accordance with cartographic conventions, called automatic label placement.

Make no mistake about it: The playoffs begin tonight for Richlands and Swansboro.
There's still a month to go in the regular season, but the loser of tonight's East Central 2-A Conference battle in Swansboro will likely wind up not making the playoffs.
Is that a mathematical certainty?
Certainly not, but given only three
Here's the reason: Richlands is 2-5 and 1-2 in the
And Croatan and Clinton are 2-1 in the
"Oh, yeah, to me it's a must-win," Swansboro coach Tim Laspada said. "I expressed that to the kids. We have to win this game. Every time in practice that's what I'm yelling at them. That's the deal. We have to win this football game and then we can take the rest of them as they come. But this one's a must-win."
Ditto for Richlands.
"My kids are smart. They know what's on the line. We talked about it Monday," Richlands coach Mike Natoli said. "We put 'playoffs' with four question marks on breakdown sheets. They know what's on the line. We don't talk about it every two minutes, but they understand how important it is."
While one four-win team made the playoffs a year ago in the playoff pod that includes the
"Me and coach Laspada talked about that," Natoli said. "So right now we've got two (wins) and we need three, and we've got four games left. So we've got to win three out of four. So this week is definitely a must-win for us." We understand how important it is.
Swansboro snapped a four-game losing streak to Richlands a year ago in winning 47-19 behind Joey Lyons' 239 yards rushing and four touchdowns. But this is a new year, and both teams have a lot of new faces, although there's one who's back that has Natoli up late at night.
That's Swansboro's multitalented DeAndre Thompkins, who had 96 yards rushing a year ago as only a sophomore. Thompkins, who's been timed at 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard dash, already has been offered a scholarship by UNC and Old Dominion.
"He wears No. 1 and he's No. 1 on the radar," Natoli said. "He's one of the best high school football players in the state, not just in the area. He is really, really good. They do a really good job of getting him the football.
"They line him up at quarterback, fullback, running back and receiver. Yeah, we've got to slow him down, but they've got other good players, too."
On the other side, Laspada cringes as he watches film of Richlands' always dangerous option-oriented attack. What he sees is one mistake here, another there that is keeping the Wildcats from exploding.
"I always worry, especially after looking at them on film and I look and I see maybe one mistake here or there if they correct that they're going to be deadly. So I'm looking at that and I'm like, 'Oh, my God,'" he said. "They do a lot of good things. Coach Natoli's an offensive genius. He does some good things there. He's tough to stop."
Jones Senior (0-6, 0-1) at Southwest (5-1, 1-0)
Since joining the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference in 2009, Southwest's only major hurdle to a league title has been Jones Senior.
But while the Stallions are strong again, the Trojans have struggled this season. Jones Senior remained winless after losing 20-7 last week at Lejeune.

Jacksonville keeps finding ways to win, and the Cardinals hope that trend continues when they visit West Craven in a Coastal Conference game.

West Craven beat South Central 26-14 last week.

With its toughest CPC game now out of the way, Dixon faces a very winnable game as the Bulldogs visit Pamlico.
Dixon lost 49-19 to Southwest last week while the Hurricanes beat East Carteret 46-25 last week.

Flash Your Floors and Surfaces
Aim to keep your garage floor and countertops free from anything that is not used regularly. Suitcases, seasonal sports gear, building and painting materials, etc. should always be returned to their assigned space and never left out to unnecessarily clutter the floor for weeks or months at a time after you've finished using them. Additionally, you should not let any regularly used items that are small and easily lost in a crowd (such as gardening tools) float around your floor or counter space. Make sure to put all tools back in a toolbox, on hooks, or in whatever specially assigned space you've given to them so that you always know where they are and you don't end up tripping over them when navigating your garage. Utilize the floor and surface areas of your garage as workspace or walking space and clean up after yourself when you're done with projects so that your garage maintains its clean, organized look.

Plum fruit is sweet and juicy and it can be eaten fresh or used in jam-making or other recipes. Plum juice can be fermented into plum wine; when distilled, this produces a brandy known in Eastern Europe as Slivovitz, Rakia, Tzuica or Palinka. Dried plums are known as prunes. Prunes are also sweet and juicy and contain several antioxidants.
Prune marketers in the United States have, in recent years, begun marketing their product as "dried plums", because "prune" has negative connotations connected with elderly people suffering from constipation.
Various flavours of dried plum are available at Chinese grocers and specialty stores worldwide. They tend to be much drier than the standard prune. Cream, Ginsing, Spicy, and Salty are among the common variety flavours. Licorice is generally used to intensify the flavour of these plums and is used to make salty plum drinks and toppings for Shaved Ice or baobing.
Pickled plums are another type of preserve available in Asia and international specialty stores. The Japanese variety, called umeboshi, is often used for rice balls, called "Onigiri" or "Omusubi". The ume, from which umeboshi are made, is however more closely related to the apricot than to the plum.
Prune kernel oil is made from the fleshy inner part of the pit of the plum.
Plums come in a wide variety of colours and sizes. Some are much firmer-fleshed than others and some have yellow, white, green or red flesh, with equally varying skin colour.
Plums and prunes are known for their laxative effect. This effect has been attributed to various compounds present in the fruits, such as dietary fiber, sorbitol, and isatin. Prunes and prune juice are often used to help regulate the functioning of the digestive system.
Plum cultivars in use today include:
When it flowers in the early spring, a plum tree will be covered in blossom, and in a good year approximately 50% of the flowers will be pollinated and become plums. Flowering starts after 80 growing degree days.
If the weather is too dry the plums will not develop past a certain stage, but will fall from the tree while still tiny green buds, and if it is unseasonably wet or if the plums are not harvested as soon as they are ripe, the fruit may develop a fungal condition called brown rot. Brown rot is not toxic, and very small affected areas can be cut out of the fruit, but unless the rot is caught immediately the fruit will no longer be edible. Plum is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera including November Moth, Willow Beauty and Short-cloaked Moth.
The Serbian plum (Serbian: шљива / šljiva) is the third most produced in the world and the alcoholic drink slivovitz (Plum brandy) (Serbian: шљивовица / šljivovica) is the national drink of Serbia. The plum production averages 424,300 tonnes per year; FAO 1991–2001.
A large number of plums are also grown in Hungary where they are called szilva and are used to make lekvar (a plum paste jam), palinka (a slivovitz-type liquor), plum dumplings, and other foods. The region which produces the best and most plums is Szabolcs-Szatmár in the northeastern part of the country near the borders with Ukraine and Romania.
The mei blossom (Prunus mume), along with the peony, are considered traditional floral emblems of China. On June 21 1964, the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China officially designated the mei blossom to be its national flower, with the triple grouping of stamens (one long and two short) representing the Three Principles of the People and the five petals symbolizing the five branches of the ROC government. The designation repeats a previous statement by the ROC government in 1929.
The mei blossom is also the floral symbol of the ancient Chinese city Nanjing, which served as the former capital (and remained designated as the official capital) of the Republic of China.

Currier Adds Three Assistants for 2011-2012 Campaign
July 22, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University mens basketball head coach Jeremy Currier has announced that Donald Thomas, Dustin Alpert and Jason Moxley will all join the Falcon basketball staff as assistant coaches for the upcoming 2011-12 season.
I am thrilled to welcome Donald, Dustin, and Jason to our coaching staff, stated Currier. The characteristics of these three coaches represent the drive and passion that I am looking for on our coaching staff. To get three coaches with a proven track record of success, we will be able to move our program forward and offer a better experience for our student athletes.
Thomas comes to Pfeiffer after spending two years coaching at Pikeville College, a NAIA Division I program in Pikeville, Kentucky under Coach Kelly Wells. In his second year on staff, Thomas helped lead Pikeville to a 30-7 finish while capturing the NAIA Division I National Championship. Thomas assisted in recruiting, opponent scouting, and player development after graduating from Pikeville with a Bachelors in Business Administration in 2008.
I have known Donald for some time, and have always been impressed with his hard work, said Currier. He is a phenomenal recruiter with strong ties along the east coast that will be an asset to our coaching staff. Donald comes from a National Championship program where he worked for a great coach in Kelly Wells.
Alpert enters Pfeiffer from California, where he was the first assistant coach at Menlo College in 2010-11. During his one-year stint with the Oaks, Alpert helped lead Menlo to their first regular season conference title in nine years and only the third in the programs history. Despite falling in the conference semifinals, Menlo finished ranked 37th in the regular season national poll for NAIA Division II.
At Menlo, Alpert was in charge of all day-to-day operations including recruiting, player development, scouting, practice planning, and fundraising. Prior to arriving at Menlo, he spent one year in 2009-10 as head coach at the high school level and two years, 2008-10, at the junior high stage at BASIS Tucson, while attending the University of Arizona. While at the helm, Alpert led both schools to their first ever appearances in the playoffs semifinals.
Dustin brings a tremendous work ethic and passion to our program that I am excited about, remarked Currier. Dustin will be involved with every facet of our program, and has made a tremendous impact on our program in a short amount of time. He is a terrific person, extremely hard worker and will be valuable in all aspects for our program. We are very fortunate to have him
Moxley attended Montgomery College Germantown in 1992 before transferring to Pfeiffer University. He graduated from Pfeiffer in 1996 and was the student assistant for the Pfeiffer basketball team that finished Conference Champions as well as the NAIA national runner up in 1995, the only appearance in school history. Moxley worked under Pfeiffer Hall of Fame coach Bobby Lutz during that time. Known for his hard work, enthusiasm and knowledge of the game, Moxley has coached many successful AAU programs including a USBA team in 2010 that finished #7 in the nation.
Jason brings tireless work ethic to our staff that we need, said Currier. Jason has strong recruiting ties in North Carolina that will help our staff immediately. With his work ethic, recruiting ties, and on floor coaching experience, that will allow him to impact our program in a great way.

NORFOLK- Wounded warriors at military hospitals will get quite a gift from some kind-hearted kids in Norfolk.
Rachel's Challenge students at Little Creek Elementary School are opening up their magic markers and their hearts to help our soldiers heal. They're making Christmas cards to send to the brave men and women wounded while fighting for our country.
'They might not have any family near them or to come visit them, so they'll have something to cheer them up,' said Aryanna Carroll, a Little Creek ES student.
'We want to make them feel better,' added Erin Gray. 'They're very important because they help us with our freedom.'
Their cards will go to a program run by the American Red Cross called 'Holiday Mail for Heroes.' They hope to deliver one million Christmas cards to injured American troops, veterans, and their families.
The kids know it'll take a great deal of strength for our warriors to rehab and recover. The doctors will help their physical wounds heal.
The kids hope the cards let them know they're being thought of and that the youngsters are rooting for them.
'They probably feel like nobody loves them,' said student Dennis Bly, 'but we're here to love them.'
One card has a message that's short and certainly sweet: 'Get well soon. Thank you.'
If you'd like to make or send a card to a wounded warrior, all cards must be postmarked by Friday, December 7th.

Konami Code Easter Egg
Edit Page Last Edit: 2 years 4 months ago
Entering the Konami code at the game's title screen (Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start) will unlock the ability to toggle an "extra wubs" setting on the gameplay options menu. Its description is: "This does literally nothing. Sorry."
While extra wubs may not have any purpose, it's still a cool homage to Konami, and a fun thing to show your friends.
