Glen Perkins buys round of beers for Twins fans stuck at Target Field during rain delay
Categories: Twins
|Perkins gets our (unofficial) Best Of award for "Twins Player We'd Most Like to Befriend."
SEE ALSO: Glen Perkins hooks up Twins tickets for "screwed" fan
Perkins bought a round of free drinks for a group of fans who were imbibing at Kent Hrbek's Target Field bar during a rain delay.
The group of fans in question were probably plenty keyed up even before Perkins opened his wallet, as they were there as part of the "Grand Drunk Railroad" pub crawl event promoted by Twins blogger Aaron Gleeman.
Here's what Gleeman had to say about the role Perkins played in keeping the party party party going:
I went on/co-organized an all-day light rail pub crawl Saturday in which 100 of us ended up at the Twins-Rays game at Target Field, except it rained for basically the entire night. I assessed the situation and chose not to go into the ballpark right away, staying a couple blocks away to continue bar-hopping, but about half of the pub crawl crew was already in Target Field and killed time at Kent Hrbek's bar.Perkins is rich, of course, but his gesture is all the more impressive because buying a round of beers for 100 people at Target Field would require most of us to sell all our possessions and donate plasma every week the rest of our lives.
At some point during the delay Twins reliever Glen Perkins, who in addition to being one of the league's best closers is also a native Minnesotan and very active on Twitter, sent his credit card over to Hrbek's and bought a round of beers for everyone in the group. I finally made my way into Target Field a couple hours later and a bunch of us were going to thank him by yelling stuff at Perkins while he warmed up in the bullpen, but then everyone got creeped out by the whole "distracting someone while they're technically working" vibe.
So, yeah: Thanks for beers, Glen.

About Me
G' Day Folks, I started this hobby when I was about 10 years old, my mum bought me a Revell kit and from that day, I was hooked!
A 20 year Military career kept me away from the bench most of the time, however I continued to purchase and store kits for future projects.
After my military career finished, I jumped back into the hobby.....very slowly.
I started to read lots of mags about the hobby and how to do things better and joining model car forums such as this one and 'The Parts Box' (Australia) has helped me as well. I'm known as 'Ray64' on the Aussie forums...
I think the most important thing about building car models is to not take it seriously and just have fun.
I'm a big fan of muscle cars from the 60s and 70s.
I'm a strong believer in researching and planning the subject before you tackle it and it brings out better results!
Most of my builds take a month to complete, although I have a few that have taken longer or have been shelved due to a rethink or change in plans!!
I like to have at least 2 projects on the go at anytime, sometimes it's been 3...
I don't have an airbrush so I just use rattle cans such as Tamiya, Testors and Mr Colour.
I live in Adelaide, South Australia near the beach and I have a spare room were I build my projects. It's starting to get full in the room with around 150 unbuilt kits.....so time to get cracking and build some !
My daughter is also a big influence on me, she picks the colours for my projects now and then and she keeps me away from the bench pursuing her goals and dreams.
All the best

Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

Since 2008, NZXT's Tempest line-up has become well-known for offering a good bang for the buck. All of the models released to date have bold designs, but nothing over-the-top. The latest variant, the 410 Elite, focuses on efficient airflow, and includes a front honeycomb design and room for a dual-rad out-of-the-box.
Let's get into the meaty bits of this review right away. After removing all of the drive bay covers and fans we can see the metal contact pads along the right side of the frame where the fans draw power. This translates into fewer wires running through the system causing clutter and possibly disrupting airflow.
The fans also feature a removable filter sandwiched against the bracket that can be removed for cleaning by pulling up on the lip at the top.
Behind the fans are the 8 hard drive bays stuffed with plastic drive trays. 3.5″ drives install without tools but 2.5″ drives will require a screwdriver.
Rather than piecing together individual shots to get an idea of what the interior looks like, here is an overall view from the left side.
Running down the side of the hard drive cage are two thumbscrews for each drive. This allows the drives to be secured and provide more stability especially if the case is being moved.
Above the drive cage are the tool-less retention locks for the 5.25″ drive bays along with two more thumbscrews to secure each device.
The floor of the case has the mounting points for the optional 120mm fan and the area where the power supply mounts at the rear. The power supply sits face down on four raised rubber pads to absorb any vibrations created by the fan.
When it comes to cable management, there should be enough options for most users. In addition to two openings on the right side of the motherboard tray and another in front of the power supply there are also two small, round openings where any front panel cables can be routed to the appropriate headers on the motherboard.
At the mid-way point across the top of the tray is another small opening and a final one in the top left corner. Finally there is a generous opening around the CPU area to help with installation and removal of CPU coolers.
There's not much to look at on the rear panel that wasn't visible from the outside but guess what? More thumbscrews used to secure the PCI slot covers and expansion cards.
The inside of the top panel shows where the optional fans or radiator can be installed. NZXT has cut away additional spots at the front and back to allow for all-in-one liquid coolers to be installed in either orientation by providing enough clearance for the block and pump to feed down into the main section of the interior.
On the back of the motherboard tray there are a few more options for cable management. There is about 3/4″ of space between the tray and the side panel allowing for cables to be tied up tight using the included zip ties fed through the loops bent in the metal. Also, since the hard drives are mounted front-to-back, there is a large space on this side of the drive cage to tuck away unused or extra long cables.
Included with the 410 Elite is everything needed to build a system and all of it keeps with the black theme. There are the motherboard standoffs along with my favorite standoff socket, screws to secure the power supply, motherboard and 5.25″, 3.5″ and 2.5″ drives as well as some zip ties and a fold out manual.
If there's one thing that the original Tempest and EVO cases were geared for it was air flow, but the 410 Elite is missing a 120mm fan on the side panel and two 140mm fans on the top. We'll see just how this plays out after our test system finds a new home.

Hi Marlene,
Here are the recommendations of the American Heart Association:
Total cholesterol less than 200
HDL cholesterol at least > 40, ideally > 60
LDL cholesterol at least less than 130, ideally less than 100
Triglycerides less than 150
A total cholesterol of 233 is elevated. However, look at your lab results to see what is elevated - LDL? Triglycerides?
You can lower levels with diet/lifestyle changes and potentially avoid medication. Which component is high helps determine what diet changes will have the greatest impact.
Your Checklist to Lower Cholesterol
If the only option discussed with your doctor was medication, consider contacting him/her to discuss whether or not your could make diet/lifestyle changes over the next 4-6 weeks and have your levels retested prior to determining if the medication is the best choice.
All the best,
Lisa Nelson RD

Hi Steve,
From reading your ICS "To Your Success" columns, I know you recommend doing an estimate in person for first-time customers. So what do you recommend actually leaving with a potential customer? Do you just write a price on the back of a business card or do you fill out an invoice and give them a copy? What is the best way to leave the customer with what it will cost to do a job? Is it common to just quote a price verbally and hope they write it down themselves? I'm a new business and I want to do things right.
-New Here in Kansas City
Hey New, you are commended for wanting to do things right. Too many people in our industry don't! I could write a book on what to do on the initial visit.
First, let me remind you that the very best thing to leave behind is a customer- approved work order with a work date filled in! And yes, we've already covered in this column how to "get to yes" when pre-inspecting a job. But meanwhile here are some few reminders:
1. Burn the word "estimate": Vague, imprecise and even worse, when you say "I'll come give you an estimate," it focuses the entire transaction on price. While cost is certainly a valid (and even important) part of the buying equation, it is not the only thing to consider. So I always used the term "pre-inspection."
Reminder: Be sure to take your shoes off or put on shoe covers before you step into the home. This step just blows people away!
2. Find (or invent) an excuse to "pre-test" a bad area or spot: Ask permission first, then use a good spotter, agitate and blot (use your knee) with a clean white towel and show them the difference. (Your white towel will be filthy!) Pow! A sold job! While your competitors are blah-blah-blahing over how good they are or just leaving a slick color brochure you are showing the customer.
After you have done this incredible "show and tell" on the customer's carpet, simply hand the customer the spotter bottle you used (labeled with your logo and contact)and say, "This is a gift from our company and any time you need more just let us know - you get 'free spotter for life'!" This is an incredible positive moment of truth.
NOTE: I gave everyone the "free spotter for life" bottle before they signed up with us. This principle of non-reciprocal giving is very powerful. Trust me on this one. Don't tie the free spotter offer to using your services. Instead, follow the Biblical principle of "Throw your bread on the waters and it will come back to you!"
3. Do even more show and tell stuff: Carry a quality photo album (or you can use a tablet such as an iPad) showing before and after shots, your employees, your equipment, a nice picture of your family and of course classy businesses you clean for. (No massage parlors where you take your cleaning services out in trade, please!) Your goal here is to help customers "pre-experience" the transaction to alleviate the No. 1 emotion with any service - fear.
Remember that the main reason customers have problems choosing any service is they can't visualize it ahead of time. So what are you doing with No. 2 and No. 3 above? Helping them see the process (No. 3) and what the final result (No. 2) will be.
NOTE: For a free carpet cleaning pre-inspection script, just e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com and put the word "ICS Pre-inspection" in the subject line.
This is a great industry you have chosen, New. In fact, it is so good it even allows mediocrity to survive. But if you do it right you will not only survive but prosper and find success, happiness and wealth.
P.S. Wait a minute, New, I never answered your question, did I? "So what do you recommend leaving with the potential customer?" I left a complete written up work order, (Do not depend on the customer remembering/writing it down!) the free lifetime spotter bottle and my business card. Most importantly, I left behind lots of positive moments of truth like the ones I detail out above! All of these are essential. Best wishes!
Steve and ICS want to consult for you! For a personal reply, write Steve HERE with your questions, problems, struggles and challenges! Your help is on the way! A new "Ask Steve" will debut in the ICS eNews every Thursday. Register to receive it by clicking here.

Former Juventus sports director Luciano Moggi cannot see any way back at Inter Milan for Mario Balotelli.
Moggi blames Inter's management for Balotelli's deteriorating relationship with fans.
He said: "(Massimo) Moratti and (Jose) Mourinho have made mistakes in managing Balotelli.
"This back and forth routine has not been good for his development. Balotelli would have never behaved like this with me.
"By now he is destined to leave also because his agent Mino Raiola isn't highly regarded in Milan, as the sales of (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic and Maxwell show.
"I have always had a good relationship with Raiola also because I have always done good business with him."

Padres' Ohlendorf solid in losing start
MIAMI Ross Ohlendorf recorded his third straight quality start for the San Diego Padres, but it wasn't enough to beat the Miami Marlins on Saturday night.
Ohlendorf (3-1) allowed three runs and four hits in six innings of the 4-2 defeat. He struck four and walked two.
"I feel good about how I'm throwing," Ohlendorf said. "I've pitched well in the past like this, but it's been a while. I feel really good about how I'm pitching now, getting back to where I'm capable."
In three July starts, Ohlendorf went 1-1 with a 2.89 ERA.
"He's throwing more strikes, locating the ball better, and he's getting himself in better counts," Padres manager Bud Black said. "You look at the efficiency - low 70 as far as pitches thrown through six innings. That's nice work."
Marlins starter Nathan Eovaldi (2-6) was impressive in his debut with Miami.
The 22-year old right-hander, acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers for Hanley Ramirez earlier this week, allowed one run and five hits in 5 1-3 innings.
"It was great," Eovaldi said. "I worked ahead a lot. Me and (catcher John) Buck got on the same page early on in the game, and there were great plays made behind me."
Eovaldi struck out five and walked two.
"One of the things that stood out to me right away when as we went over our game plan, the only other person that young that I've had that had an idea what he wanted to do was probably Zack Greinke," Buck said. "He was able to go out and execute it. For a young guy that's a big step."
Jose Reyes hit a two-run homer, Justin Ruggiano also went deep, and Steve Cishek earned his fourth save for the Marlins, who snapped a three-game skid.
"We did today what we've been missing for a long time, get big hits," Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said.
Yonder Alonso had two doubles and drove in a run for the Padres, who had won seven of 10.
The Marlins had scored three runs or fewer in nine consecutive games, which matched a franchise record set in 1994.
Carlos Lee's RBI single in the first gave the Marlins an early lead.
Eovaldi reached base on an infield single in the third and scored on Reyes' shot to right field off Ohlendorf for a 3-0 advantage. The home run extended Reyes' hitting streak to 15 games, which ties a season high.
"Every time Jose is on the baseball field he can make a lot of great things happen," Guillen said. "Jose has been doing great. He's not hitting .390, but he's playing better than what people think. He hits the ball very hard more than what people think. Reyes is a guy we are going to play around."
The Padres strung together three hits in the sixth, including Alonso's run-scoring double, to end Eovaldi's night.
"(Eovaldi) has a great arm," Guillen said. "You can see he's still a baby, can still be polished, but I love his arm. His presence on the mound is very good."

Thoughts from the EPS Windows Server Performance Team
Useful Microsoft Blogs
Platforms Blogs
Good morning AskPerf! Akash Nema here from the Performance team. Today we are going to chat about how to tweak the printer list presented when using the Add Printer Wizard in Windows 7.
We frequently see situations with Domain joined users on Windows Vista and higher that try to connect to a network printer. When the user accesses the Add Printer Wizard, they are surprised to see the list of printers presented is limited to only 20 entries - this is by design.
The user can still search for a specific network printer by selecting "The printer I want isn't listed" and then selecting "Find printer in the directory based on location or feature".
(For more information on pre-populating this list with network discovery enabled - see the following walkthrough from our friends at MCP Magazine.)
The list of printers limit behavior is controlled by the following Group Policy setting for Printers:
Add Printer wizard - Network scan page (Managed network)
The policy sets the maximum number of printers (of each type) that the Add Printer wizard will display on a computer on a managed network when the computer is able to reach a domain controller (for example, a domain-joined laptop on a corporate network).
To access the Group Policy Object, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Group Policy Management. Or, click Start, click Run, type GPMC.MSC, and then press Enter.
In Group Policy Management Editor, expand the following folders:
+Computer Configuration
+ Administrative Templates
Add Printer wizard - Network scan page (Managed network)
This policy sets the maximum number of printers (of each type) that the Add Printer wizard will display on a computer on a managed network.
In order to view available TCP/IP printers or Web Services printers on your network, ensure that network discovery is turned on. To turn on network discovery, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Network and Internet. On the page, click Network and Sharing Center. On the Network and Sharing Center page, click Change advanced sharing settings. On the Advanced sharing settings page, click the arrow next to Domain arrow, click turn on network discovery, and then click Save changes.
If this setting is disabled, the network scan page will not be displayed. If this setting is not configured, the Add Printer wizard will display the default number of printers of each type:
If you would like to not display printers of a certain type, enable this policy and set the number of printers to display to 0.
Directory printers are any print queues that the domain print administrators have chosen to publish in Active Directory.
TCP/IP printers are print devices that you access directly using the TCP/IP protocol.
Web Services printers include both IPP and WSPAD print devices that are shared on the network.
Shared printers are print queues that show up in the deprecated "browse list".
If you are a die-hard fan of users searching for their own printers (how the wizard looked with Windows XP), you can disable the Network Scan Page entirely via this same policy and the Wizard will go directly to the "Find printer in the directory based on location or feature" page of the Add Printer wizard.
Happy Printing!
-Akash Nema
Additional Resources
Now there's something i didn't know :)
So what is the scope for the printer search(es)? It seems to be the entire network or domain. Is it possible to limit this (via Group Policy) to a subnet or OU?
How do I change the location that the wizard searches in the first pop-up. I want only the printers in my OU to show, not the entire domain. My users aren't very good at making their way through wizards and basically need them to see it off the bat.

Southern Maryland Adventure Rider Crashes and Splashes
View Single Post
Dreamer and Doer
Joined: Jul 2010

Oddometer: 5,474
Sat AM
So, despite having brand new bikes (both matching triple black), and street tires RFlagg and Gail decide to join us for the dirt ride. Everything starts well enough, but within the first hour we are being pelted with sleet. After gassing the bikes in Monteray, we head back to woods.
As I start to slow down and put my blinker, and Dorito goes down. So there I am lead bike, sliding on my back down the center of the tarmac. For those that haven't been fortuitous enough to have the experience, it's actually quite relaxing to just slide down the road. It's quite flat for one, and an interesting combination of G-forces!
The skid mark (and Gail in the ditch..)
The gouge in the pavement:
Surprisingly little damage:
Bent the foot peg bracket:
Now, while Blaster is watching his wife slide down the road like ricochet rabbit, Gail calls "ditch". He decides that he's going to sympathetically crash his new 4,000 mile on the odometer bike. He actually did a nice job of putting the bike in a soft spot. He was mentally hoping that EOD3MC wouldn't be wanting the same ditch. Really, now we are fighting for ditch rights
Blaster sees his foot pinned and goes to his aid:
Honestly, I really couldn't tell you what went wrong or what I would have done differently in the future. I just think it was old crappy pavement, which was slicker than snot with perhaps a bit of sneet covering it, and a touch less rear brake. Both bikes starting sliding about the same spot.
I guess Gail could now join the ranks of TTRU and wear his sticker proudly!
You ain't getting to I-81 from here...EVAR!
This place is goolish at best..

Start off with an appetizer of breaded portabella mushroom strips ($7.99) and a glass from the wine menu, such as the Ruffino Chianti ($7). Entree plates include curry-coconut chicken ($11.99), Parisian-style beef kabobs ($13.99), and sesame-crusted tuna steak ($14.99).

The City Farmer: Growing our food can ease insecurity
Editor's note: This is the first of an ongoing series of columns about growing edibles and urban farming in the Memphis area.
Spring came early this year. One week I was curled up on my couch, browsing seed catalogs between sips of hot tea, and the next I was outside in a T-shirt and shorts, turning my soil, preparing it for planting.
I shouldn't have let it sneak up on me. After one of the warmest winters on record, it was a gentle turn of seasons, rather than a rude awakening. But I was trying to let the calendar convince me that I had more time, ignoring the late-March stretch of 80-degree days.
My garden is in my front yard. I have some room out back, but I decided to put it in the front yard in order to give me a chance to meet my neighbors. I live in Uptown, two houses down from a corner store that sells hot chips, beer and lottery tickets. People walk back and forth in front of my house all day long. And not many people see me in my yard without stopping to say something.
"Are those tomato plants you're growing?"
"Can I try some of that basil?"
"My granny used to grow zinnias like that!"
In keeping a small garden in my front yard, I've not only grown ample vegetables to supplement my table, but I've also grown enough to share with my neighbors. And sharing food leads to sharing stories. And sharing stories leads to relationships. And relationships build a community.
Memphis is hungry. We so often hear about how swollen Memphians' waistlines have become that we've overlooked another issue plaguing our city -- food insecurity. According to a recent national survey, Memphis is the most food-insecure city in the nation.
I see it when I watch the kids in my neighborhood scrounge up enough change to buy a bag of hot chips to share from the corner store. I see it on the faces of my elderly neighbors who smile knowingly at my lettuce patch. I see it when my neighbors climb off the bus with their grocery bags and know that they had to ride a long time to get there and back. I see that it's time for a food revolution. Grow your own food. Share it with your neighbors. And here's how you do it (it's not too late for this year!):
Find some dirt and a sunny spot. Whether it's a section of your yard that you've dug up, or a raised bed or a couple of pots on your back patio, you need to make sure your patch of dirt is in an area that gets at least six hours of sunlight per day.
Buy local to grow local. Plenty of local farmers sell vegetable starts. Wander on down to a farmers market and see what kind of vegetable starts are available. Chat with the farmers about good regional varieties. And edible plants are covered by EBT benefits.
The South Memphis Farmers Market, Cooper Young Community Farmers Market and Urban Farms Market all accept EBT. Go on down and check them out.
Give the plants plenty of space and water, and then watch the savings pour in. Depending on what you grow, producing your own vegetables can bring in big savings. You can get $75 worth of green beans for each $1 spent on seeds. A National Gardening Association survey noted that the typical gardening family spends $70 annually on seeds, plants, and equipment and brings in more than $600 worth of produce.
Lastly, share it. This cannot be repeated enough. Share it with your neighbors. Tell a story. Build a community.

Special Correspondent
Democratic People's Alliance MPs from Tamil Nadu submit memorandum to him
NEW DELHI: Members of Parliament belonging to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led Democratic People's Alliance in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry on Wednesday called on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and urged him not to accept the plea of the Karnataka Government and MPs from that State to not notify the final award of the Cauvery River Water Disputes Tribunal.
In a memorandum, the MPs emphasised that a Tribunal order was equivalent to a Supreme Court decree. The plea to not notify the award went against the legal processes contemplated under the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act.
"Such a request is not in conformity with the highest standards of traditions expected of MPs in upholding the Constitution... Such representations by MPs are not in accordance with the oath of office taken by them. They are also expected to abide by the Constitution and the laws of the land."
The MPs complained that right from the beginning, Karnataka had been adopting an obstructionist attitude in arriving at a settlement on the dispute. Tamil Nadu had requested the matter to be referred to the Tribunal only after failing to arrive at a consensus during mutual discussions.
Pointing out that 38 rounds of talks were held before the matter was referred to the Tribunal, the delegation alleged that in the absence of any valid grounds, the Karnataka Government had been resorting to extra-constitutional methods to nullify pronouncements made by judicial fora and legally constituted machinery on sharing of the river waters and trying to create a sense of insecurity in the minds of Tamils.
The delegation said As soon as the CWDT gave its award, Karnataka created a law and order situation and started requesting the Centre repeatedly to not notify it. "Thus, the Government of Karnataka has deliberately resorted to dilatory tactics with a view to avoid the adjudication and implementation of the award of the Tribunal."
The memorandum recalled that even when the Tribunal gave its interim award on June 25, 1991, Karnataka promulgated an Ordinance to utilise the entire quantum of the Cauvery waters.
It was struck down by the Supreme Court as ultra vires the Constitution on a reference made by the President, invoking advisory jurisdiction under Article 143 of Constitution.
The MPs charged that Karnataka had been building reservoirs across the main tributaries of the Cauvery and constructing unsanctioned and unapproved irrigation projects. Consequently, it had been cutting back on releases to Tamil Nadu from its reservoirs until they were full, near-full or threatened by floods. As a result, the irrigated area in that State had been gradually increasing over the years while the age old cultivated areas in Tamil Nadu dwindled. "The economy and livelihood of farmers in Tamil Nadu were shattered in the past three decades."
Stand opposed
The delegation also opposed the stand of Karnataka that the notification of the final award should await finalisation of a comprehensive national water policy.
It said a Tribunal with senior members of judiciary should not be fettered with pre-conceived notions in the form of guidelines.
"To suggest that a Tribunal award should not be implemented on this score is another way of negating the very purpose of legal resolution of the disputes and amounts to showing disrespect for the law [Inter-State River Water Disputes Act] made by Parliament."
[A delegation of Karnataka MPs led by former Prime Minister Deve Gowda had called on Prime Minister recently and urged that the award should not be notified in its present form on the ground that it had done grave injustice to Karnataka. The MPs had also called upon the Centre to arrange for discussions among the riparian States of the Cauvery to sort out the differences over the award so that it was altered to the satisfaction of all stakeholders].

text: Mobile Windows Phone may finally be heading from "sleeper hit" to just "hit" November 28, 2011 11:49 AM J. O'Dell 0 Enterprise companies tackle mobile marketing automation slightly differently—and that's why they're on top. Register today for this free VB Insight webinar with AEG's VP of Social and Marketing on May 28th. Windows Phone may be getting a long-awaited second wind. Newly available app usage data indicate as many as 600,000 Windows Phones may have been purchased over the past two weeks alone. Currently, the Windows Phone Facebook app has more than a million active monthly users. The exact number rose from one million users on November 11 to 1,100,000 on November 25. According to calculations by WMPowerUser, a Windows Phone-focused blog, this surge means as many as 600,000 Windows Phone devices may have been purchased and activated since the 11th. Microsoft has been tight-lipped on specific numbers, but Windows Phones have historically not sold as well as their competitors in the Android or iOS categories. However, in a recent earnings call, executives remained optimistic about Windows Phone's future. "We are well positioned to become the third mobile ecosystem," said Microsoft chief financial officer Peter Klein. A good bit of the current buzz around Windows Phone has to do with Nokia. The Nokia brand has been on the decline in the U.S. ever since the advent of smartphones. However, with the phone maker's recent launch of the Lumia 800 and 710 phones using the Windows Phone 7 OS, interest has revived around both the Nokia and Windows Phone brands. The new Nokia Windows Phones are expected to hit U.S. carriers in early 2012. Microsoft is betting not just on Nokia but also on Samsung to carry the Windows Phone banner. "We also signed a broad agreement with Samsung on the development and marketing of Windows phones," said Bill Koefoed, Microsoft's general manager for investor relations, in a recent call. What about the apps? Right now, the Windows Phone app marketplace has around 40,000 apps. That number stands in stark contrast to the half-million Android apps that have been published so far and a roughly equal number of available apps in Apple's App Store. However, Microsoft recently released Windows Phone Mango, the latest version of the mobile OS that brings tethering features and a new marketplace for mobile web apps — a surefire way to augment the low number of available native applications. Here's how the mobile web app marketplace works:

My worrys are the fact that I read the boats should be checked every 5 yrs and replace every 10 acorrding to the sailnet articals, and yet I have a 20+ year old boat with bolts that might be the originals. There are no signs of the keel being loose, just new keel boat owner fears I guess. Like I said I will have it hauled out and surveyed sometime this winter when the lake goes up(very low right now).

Vin Crosbie | July 24, 2009 | Comments
If local journalists and publishers want to earn money online, they first must provide comprehensive local information, not stories.
Journalists falsely believe that a popular demand exists for what has traditionally been known as local news. It's an admirable fallacy that they've believed for more than 200 years. Yet now that some teams of journalists have founded Web sites offering only local news and tried to charge for it, they are discovering how shallow the demand for traditionally reported local news actually is.
For those 200 or more years, three factors have camouflaged the mediocre demand for local news: the packaging of local news with international and national news, the distraction factor that such traditional packages used to have, and the utility of local information that isn't in story format.
Local news has traditionally been reported via stories: Stories about town council meetings. Stories about town zoning, sewer, roads, and parks department hearings. Feature stories about local citizens, fairs, and other human interest topics. The hallmark of local news as we traditionally know it is in story form.
Local stories are what budding journalists are first trained to write. It's the formative part of their careers. No wonder they value this traditional form of news so highly!
Indeed, local stories are the core of most daily newspapers' and local broadcast stations' news reports and make up the entire content of almost all weekly newspapers.
However, that's not because local news makes up the most popular component of daily newspapers' and local broadcast stations' news reports. In almost every community, international and national news stories are more popular than local news. Unfortunately, because most daily newspapers and local broadcast stations package local news with international and national stories, local journalists tend to think the stories they've written are the most popular component of the package. Once local news is removed from that package and marketed alone online, it becomes obvious just how little people value it. They aren't willing to pay for it. (This is also why most weekly newspapers are distributed to people for free.)
The second factor that had camouflaged local news' relatively small demand is the distraction factor that the traditional news package, whether in print or in broadcast. Twenty or 30 years ago when people's only source of daily changing news was a daily newspaper or a local broadcast, people tended to read all of that paper or to watch or listen to all of that newscast -- including all the local news -- simply because they didn't have much other new information to distract them.
Yet now people in developed countries have hundreds of TV channels and millions of Web sites and blogs, online videos, and social networks to distract them. They're unlikely to distract themselves by reading, watching, or listening to that local news report. They have far more interesting things to do online and from TV. Local news reports have lost their distraction value.
The third factor is simply the story format. Local journalists don't fully realize that the people who do read local newspapers or watch or listen to local newscasts often want just the local information and not a full story.
A significant portion, perhaps the majority, of people doesn't necessarily care why the road is out; they just wanted to know it's out and until when. They don't really care who said what at the local school board meeting; they just want to know the school lunch menu their kids will receive that day. They don't greatly care what the newspaper's or TV station's reviewer said about a local restaurant; they just want to know what the restaurant serves, when it is opened, how much it costs, and whether their friends and other people liked it. They don't really care about getting the full story, but they greatly care about the utility of local information.
The solution, then, is to give them the abridged information, a concise précis of what's locally going on around them. They'll be far happier with that than with 24 printed pages or 30 minutes of video about the same information in story format.
Previously, local journalists earned money by reporting local news stories. Today, they are still too concerned with providing that and too little concerned with providing basic information. When people had scarce access to information, they were happy to have any of it and were willing to deal with it in story format. But now that they have access to so much information in print, broadcast, and online, they just want the facts.
If local journalists want to earn money in this millennium, they first need to provide comprehensive local information to people. Full stories should be afterthoughts.
To be successful in this new millennium, the local newspaper or the local broadcast station must provide a fully interactive database delivering the basics of the moment's weather and forecast, road and commute information, complete local entertainment and dining information, local school sports scores and menus, and the like.
Investigative stories are worthy and always need to be done, but newspapers and local news broadcasters must first give people comprehensive information and data -- including access to all the source data, be that the town government's reports or each restaurant's daily menu. Only then should local journalists consider writing stories.

The overall benefit of doing this is to create a stable network that companies can utilize on securing lower cost routes for there traffic but also with the full attention to deplete all market fraud.
For years telecom operators have been taken to the cleaners by illegal termination scams where individuals have gone to countries and set up operations with no intention of paying bills and certainly no intention of working with the government and operators. This has left a sour taste in a lot of operator's mouths leaving no room for real operations to take place.
Nvirocom hope that as a first in Cameroon we can now lead the way for legitimate operations, ultimately Nvirocom wish to strengthen there own relationship with government figures to broaden the potential for stimulating work and all other projects across Africa.
To Follow Nvirocom's progress please visit www.nvirocom.com

I didn't like this accommodation at all and I would not recommend it. It dooesn't feel like you are in a hostel, because there not many tourists and there is a lack of community areas (just one very small kitchen). There are only 2 bath rooms each for woman and man, which is not enough. When I stayed there, the majority of the guests were living there permanently, walking with theier pyjama through the kitchen and there were not very talkative. I just met one person who was a tourist as well.

This felt more like a migrant and homless home then a hostel. I felt as if i was the only normal guest and everyone else lived there. Also the place felt cold, pale, and dirty. The beds were also poorly constructed, giving the feeling as if every move caused an earthquake. It was overall the worst hostel i have ever stayed at. I never hope to stay in such a place again.

LAGUNA BEACH – Arching his fins in slow, smooth strokes, Jeremy Caulkins glided down past a kelp forest that swayed back and forth with the tide, leaving behind the plum-sized jellyfish and golden trout that swam near the surface.
His hand grasped a wooden speargun - about three feet long. Glints of silver from a shiny plastic disc attached to his belt – a "flasher" for attracting fish – followed him deep into the ocean.
Caulkins, 30, hunted for under a minute, hugging a reef in the waters off Crystal Cove Beach, running only on the air in his lungs. Fish that were legal to shoot passed him, but he never fired. He swam back empty-handed, keeping to a spearfishing code of ethics: "We shoot what we eat, and we eat what we shoot."
The entire experience, from the breathing patterns that slow his heart rate to the ocean drift that carries his body, is calming, Caulkins said.
"It's like yoga," said Caulkins, who lives in San Clemente and works at an engineering and construction company. "It feels like you're flying."
Spearfishing, an esoteric sport with a small but devoted following, is typically done while free-diving, or swimming to depths of 40 or 100 feet on one breath. Fatalities are common enough that most spearfishers know personally of someone who has died in action, usually from a blackout.
Caulkins' club, OC Spearos, focuses on preventing such incidents. Started in 2010, the club educates its 70-plus members on the physiology behind free diving, safety and spearfishing techniques, in addition to holding group dives. Many of its members joined with little background in spearfishing.
For decades, the sport maintained a quiet presence in Orange County, but the club has fostered a more cohesive community of young spearfishers, said Jacob Master, manager of the Titan Spearguns store in Laguna Niguel.
OC Spearos began after Fernando Gutierrez, 28, saw a couple of guys emerge from the water at Laguna Beach with a string of fish and guns in their hands. Intrigued, Gutierrez searched for information, but most spearfishers were tight-lipped, wanting to keep their fishing spots secret.
With a few friends, Gutierrez founded his own club.
"(OC Spearos) definitely filled a gap and a need," said Jaeson Plon, 28, a member of the club.
On a bright Saturday morning, three guys from the club took a boat out from Newport Beach. They dropped anchor at a peaceful stretch, where small silver fish were visible through the water.
A collection of spearguns, which look like a cross between a rifle and a fishing pole, rested in a corner of the boat. All the guns were powered by thick, black rubber bands that spring back, releasing a thin spear, when the trigger is pulled. Recoil is strong.
"These guns can knock your teeth out," said Gutierrez, a law enforcement officer who lives in Santa Ana.

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday said the ongoing turmoil in Middle East and North Africa could impact the price as well as availability of crude oil.
"Uncertainty in the Middle East and North Africa... has its other implications on the energy sources. Substantial quantum of oil is being produced there. Therefore it is not merely the question of highly volatile price, it is also the question of availability," he said during his reply to the Finance Bill 2011 in the Lok Sabha.
Mr. Mukherjee said the government hopes for the quick return of normalcy in the region, especially Libya, where U.S. and other Western Nations have imposed a no-fly zone and started bombardment of government facilities.
International crude prices had reached a 30-months high $120 per barrel in February following the earlier turmoil in Egypt and Tunisia.
India is in a particularly vulnerable position due to its growing energy needs as the country imports almost 75 per cent of crude oil.
Libya, an OPEC member, is a major oil producer and supplies from the country had been disrupted during the recent week due to fierce fighting between government forces of Muammar Qadhafi and rebels.
Mr. Mukherjee said his budget proposals have factored in the international financial situation, besides the international commodity price situation and the political turmoil in Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
"And from the view point of economy, these three are important," he said.
Regarding Japan, Mr. Mukherjee said: "Japan is one of the highest investors in direct foreign investment. From the early 1950s Japan used to provide developmental assistance".
Keywords: crude prices, Libyan crisis

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Citizenship under Fire examines the relationship among civic education, the culture of war, and the quest for peace. Drawing on examples from Israel and the United States, Sigal Ben-Porath seeks to understand how ideas about citizenship change when a country is at war, and what educators can do to prevent some of the most harmful of these changes.
Perhaps the most worrisome one, Ben-Porath contends, is a growing emphasis in schools and elsewhere on social conformity, on tendentious teaching of history, and on drawing stark distinctions between them and us. As she writes, "The varying characteristics of citizenship in times of war and peace add up to a distinction between belligerent citizenship, which is typical of democracies in wartime, and the liberal democratic citizenship that is characteristic of more peaceful democracies."
Ben-Porath examines how various theories of education--principally peace education, feminist education, and multicultural education--speak to the distinctive challenges of wartime. She argues that none of these theories are satisfactory on their own theoretical terms or would translate easily into practice. In the final chapter, she lays out her own alternative theory--"expansive education"--which she believes holds out more promise of widening the circles of participation in schools, extending the scope of permissible debate, and diversifying the questions asked about the opinions voiced.

Details released on weapons cache case
Jan 18, 2013 (Odessa American - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- A federal complaint has revealed more details about a man who was arrested Tuesday after a shots fired call resulted in a charge of unlawfully possessing a firearm.
Julian Matthew Resendes, 24, and his brother, 21-year-old Kelly Resendes, were arrested Tuesday after a shots fired call at 5212 Conley Place after officers searched the residence and found a number of weapons.
According to a federal complaint, Julian Resendes was found at the residence after the shots fired call and he and his brother were searched for weapons.
Julian Resendes had a handgun bullet magazine in his pocket, according to the complaint, and said the gun was in the "weapons closet" inside the house.
When asked further about the closet in the compliant, his brother Kelly Resendes confirmed its existence.
"Yes, my brother has all kinds of guns and weapons in there," Kelly Resendes said in the complaint.
During the search of the closet, after a warrant had been obtained, officers found a Saiga 12-gauge shotgun, a Taurus 1911 handgun and several knives, machetes, throwing stars and tactical vests, according to the complaint.
The officers also found a Hi-Point 9 mm handgun in a bedroom, according to the complaint, which was the gun matching the magazine found in Julian Resendes' pocket.
While looking through the rest of the house, officers found a small bottle of testosterone, according to the complaint, which Kelly Resendes told officers belonged to his brother, Julian Resendes.
According to the complaint, Julian Resendes also admitted to smoking marijuana before officers arrived at the scene.
The complaint also lists that Julian Resendes has been indicted with evading arrest and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges in Ector County.
