Who says the French are rude? Not in my experience.
I just got back from 2 weeks in Provence & Paris, our first trip to France. I am mystified as to how the French people got this bad rap for being rude.
To a person...nobody, not one single person was rude, impatient, snooty, or any of those other attributes they are supposedly famous for. On the contrary, everyone was friendly, accommodating, patient, warm and generous. I must say my wife and I were prepared for this trip and made the effort to use our caveman French. That mainly got us some blank looks. But by being polite and using the niceties like "s'il vous plaît", "merci", "bonjour monsieur" etc, we almost always coaxed a smile from people faces.

Love love love this foundation. I have very dry skin and want medium to full coverage. This product is buildable so use as much or as little as you want. Get samples on her website to try first. I got wheat and sand and have gone with wheat all over and a little sand color under the eyes. My fine limes have disappeared with Paula's products!

I wish I have something nice to say about all Paul's foundation. Why? The color is pasty, rather chalky & un-natural looking, not that it looks pink or peachy, but just don't look natural overall. The only time I will wear her foundation is in a candle-lit setting. The texture is pasty, like a sunscreen. yuccck!

I love this foundation, the coverage is perfect for me and leaves a dewy soft finish. I don't find it to be masky although it comes out thick.
I purchased the color "nude" and found it to be perfect. One thing I really like is that over the course of the day it doesn't settle into fine lines, it keeps the skin looking very radiant.

Edited review: This foundation is thick in texture and goes on feeling a little greasy. The coverage is on the sheer side. For a flawless look I'd still want concealer since it doesn't cover that much. I do like the SPF15 but in order to get it, you have to apply generously, and since this is a foundation I think I would end up looking a little too made up. The colours run very light: "Sand" in this is too light for me, lighter even (and a touch less yellow) than Laura Mercier Oil-Free in "Warm Ivory". I wish the colours were more consistent across the range of foundations. No smell, which is a plus. Packaging is handy yet hardly glamorous. I will try a darker shade, but I suspect that the Best Face Forward will suit my combination skin better than this - this stuff feels like it may clog my pores in the long run. I won't buy this since I much prefer the Sheer Tint (which I CAN apply liberally without looking made up).

I have repurchased this product three times. It gives a sheer, dewy finish to normal-to-dry skin, has no fragrance, and has a good SPF. The finish requires that you use a concealer if you have anything major to hide. My only complaint is the cheesy white plastic squeeze bottle. It is nice that in stands on the cap so that the product falls to the tube opening easily, but that also means than the neck of the tube gets gooey with product. I also use Paula's powder, when I go to work or to a special event, and this gives another layer of coverage and a more matte finish -- also lovely.

FINALLY a foundation that works for me.
My HG (believe it or not - Maybelline Smooth Result) had been DC'd last year.
I've been searching high & low, have spent a lot of money, esp. at Clinique. Nothing has worked for me.
This is kind of thick, but yet not "masky" and a little goes a very long way.
Doesn't settle into fine line, or pores.
UPDATE: I bought a full size of this, and it doesn't seem the same as the sample. It now seems to be a bit drying on me. I will keep & use for summer though.
The price is right too.
It was nice to order a few sample packets to try it.
Me: 40 y.o, fine lines, very sensitive, flaky, tight, yet oily skin with redness on nose & chin.
Can you say - AWFUL skin? So this was quite a find for me.

This foundation is thick and hard to spread. I only use foundation where i need to cover up some redness, but if my skin happens to be dry at all this foundation accentuates every flake i have. However, I'm giving it 3 lippies because when used sparingly it works well as an undereye concealer with a nice titanium dioxide based spf. This is what i'm using it for now, but i won't repurchase when i run out.

I tried this in Light Cream, which was a perfect match for my skin. Because of its moisturizing base, the foundation blends beautifully. The smell is a bit odd for those used to fragranced products; neither good nor bad, it is similar to L'Oreal Paris' True Match Superblendable Makeup and becomes undetectable almost immediately after application. This foundation also has an excellent titanium dioxide sunscreen. Although the product claims to have medium coverage, I would say that the coverage starts out somewhere between light and medium and must be layered to truly achieve medium coverage. Also, I would prefer it if this product would come in a pump because the twist-cap, plastic squeeze tube application must be monitored to avoid a mess. Those that break out should not use this because it is too creamy for that skin type and contains titanium dioxide.

I purchased this in the Wheat and Sand Colors. I prefer the wheat. It has great coverage. I also use Lancome Teint Idole and I feel this foundation compares to that. But this one also has a spf included. Great Stuff.

I did not like this foundation. It was very masky, white and thick. I don't think my skin likes to much sunscreen in a foundation. I would not ever think of buying this again.

The Texas Journal on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights will host its 2009 symposium: "Voting Rights in a New Administration" on March 9, 2009 from 11:30 am to 4:30 pm at the University of Texas School of Law.
Energized by a compelling campaign season, millions of new voters surged to the polls to make their voices heard in the 2008 presidential election. Americans defend their ability to vote as a fundamental right and a sacred civic duty. The protection of voting rights continues to be a hotly contested issue as evidenced by the ongoing court battle for Minnesota's Senate seat. This symposium will reflect on how courts have adjudicated voting rights cases in the past, and speculate as to how the Justice Department under the Obama Administration will approach these issues.
The symposium will commence with a keynote luncheon at 11:30 a.m. in the Sheffield Room. Two panel sessions will follow at 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm in the Eidman Courtroom.
Keynote Address
Robert Kelner will deliver the symposium's keynote address. Kelner is the chair of Covington and Burlington's election and political law practice group in Washington, D.C. He worked closely with attorney general Eric Holder and will discuss possible positions the Obama Justice Department will stake out on election law, voting rights, and civil rights issues in general.
Panel Session 1:
The first panel, entitled "Crawford, Texas Redistricting, and Beyond: Are Facial Challenges Dead in Election Law?" will analyze the recent shift towards "as-applied" challenges in election law and discuss the impact on future litigants. Panelists will examine Crawford v. Marion Cty. Election Bd. which upheld Indiana's voter-ID law, and LULAC v. Perry, a Texas case in which the Supreme Court held that the state legislature's redistricting plan did not violate the Constitution, but did violate the Voting Rights Act. Finally, the panel will consider the Roberts Court's resistance to "facial" challenges. This panel features Robert Kelner, Joshua Douglas, and Max Renea Hicks. UT Law professor Stefanie Lindquist will moderate.
Panel Session 2:
In "Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District No. 1 v. Mukasey and the Future of the Voting Rights Act," the panel will weigh the constitutionality of the "preclearance requirement" in section five of the Voting Rights Act. The Supreme Court will consider this very issue in NAMUDNO v. Mukasey, a highly anticipated case that originated in Austin, Texas. The panel will provide the details of the case, predict the outcome, and anticipate its effect on the Voting Rights Act. Professor Steve Bickerstaff, a former election law litigator, and Christian Ward from Yetter, Warden, and Coleman will serve as panelists.
Registration is available at: http://www.utexas.edu/law/journals/tjclcr/symposia/tjclcr_registration.html
Lawyers in attendance can receive up to three hours of CLE credit for a $50 charge. Otherwise, the events are free and open to the public.

If the valves are too tight it makes all kinds of wierd running cond including hanging idle and failure to idle. I've seen some pretty worn carbs that had no adverse effect on the running, I'm sure that could happen esp since we can't really see how bad the carb is but it'd be very unusual.
It's not uncommon for the valves to settle in the head a good bit right after a topend job, that would cause them to tighten up relatively quickly. Tight valves = hard starting also. Im thinking that's the issue.
The cable is new and oiled, freeplay is fine, valve clearence is in specs, timing is fine. I started the bike with a makeshift gas tank, without the cable. The bike revs itself up, dosen't respond to air screw movement.
It's driving me crazy.
Went to the garage, took off the carb.
-the throtle valve rotates around it's center(left-right) and the lower gap changes in size
-the valve has a bit of play and can rattle back and forth
-the levers that operate the throtle valve are worn
I will take the carb apart and check the extent of the wear.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Nokia announced the anticipated Lumia 900 smartphone earlier this week at the Consumer Electronics Show, and we decided to spend some well-needed hands-on time with the device. Simply put, the Nokia Lumia 900 may be the single best phone Nokia has produced in years. It features a beautiful 4.3-inch AMOLED Clear Black display that makes Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system pop. For specs, it has a single-core 1.4-GHz processor, an 8-megapixel camera with an LED flash and a front-facing camera for video conferencing. (Read more about the Lumia 900's specs in our product database.) While it's disappointing that the processor is only single-core, Windows Phone's lightweight OS makes it very responsive. While I was a fan of some early smartphones from Nokia, the Symbian OS looked clunky and way outdated compared to iOS and Android of recent years. The Finnish company certainly knows how to make sexy hardware — it was just software that it struggled with. The Windows Phone operating system, while not exactly popular, is a staggering improvement, and that counts for all three officially-announced Nokia phones with the Windows Phone OS. The Lumia 900, if you've been paying attention, is like the big brother to the previously announced Lumia 800. The 900 has a larger screen than the 800's 3.7-inch display, and adds a front-facing camera. It also blows away the less-expensive budget model, the Lumia 710, which has only a 5-megapixel camera. I really like the feel of the Nokia 900, more so than the 800 and the cheaper 710 model, mostly because of the screen size. The 4.3-inch screen makes a lot of sense with Windows Phone's Mango OS. Flicks between screens are fast, fluid and responsive. I also like the first two color choices for the 900, black and cyan. While the phone has no official price or release date, a Nokia representative said the device would be out in the "spring" on AT&T exclusively. If we had to take an educated guess, the Lumia 900 will likely run $199 with a 2-year contract. Check out more photos of the Nokia Lumia 900 here: And don't miss this short video by VentureBeat writer Dean Takahashi: VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Icarus Witch seems to share several similarities with Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow in terms of their stylistic evolutions over such short periods of time. This is not only made obvious by former Rainbow singer Joe Lynn Turner's guest appearance on the band's cover of Def Leppard's "Mirror Mirror (Look Into My Eyes)," but also in the band's interesting transition from a Maiden-esque sound to a more hard rock format. In fact, I like to think of this album as being the Witch's answer to "Stranger In Us All."
While Icarus Witch has always made subtle changes in their overall sound, the jump to this album from "Capture the Magic" may be their most drastic to date. The heavier guitar crunch of the past two efforts seems to have disappeared and has been replaced with songs based more around accessible mid-tempo riffs and catchy choruses. There is also an almost Renaissance/Baroque flavor on the more melodic tunes like "The Sky Is Falling" and the ballady "Smoke And Mirrors." Fortunately, the band is still recognizable with the bass always having a strong presence and the vocals still retaining their unique though nasally flavor.
Most of the songs are based around more laid-back tempos on tunes such as "Nature of the Beast" and "The Devil's Hour," but there are still several songs that manage to sound unique and memorable. "Out For Blood" is an energetic tune with upbeat riffs and almost aggressive vocals and "Smokes And Mirrors" makes for a pretty solid ballad. Like the other reviewers, "House of Usher" is probably my favorite track on here. It is not only one of the darkest and most aggressive songs that the band has ever written, but it also seems to hint at the darker sound that would come on this year's "Draw Down the Moon."
I'd also like to take a moment to look at the band's version of "Mirror Mirror (Look Into My Eyes)" for it may be the best and most fitting cover that the band has put out to date. I really like the band's take on Alice Cooper's "Roses On White Lace," but this song seems to fit the band's style and makes use of a good cameo. It also made me take a closer look at the earlier eras of Def Leppard with some interesting results to be found. It's definitely better than if they had covered "Pour Some Sugar On Me..."
While the changes on here do make for an interesting and enjoyable release, the album does have a few flaws. Fans of the band's old sound may be turned off by the newfound AOR elements and the some of the songs aren't as hard hitting as they could be. That and the vocals are still an acquired taste, though I don't know if that'll ever change. His voice may be slightly controversial and does sometimes need a little more charisma, but he always manages to sound unique...
All in all, this is probably my favorite Icarus Witch album and the one that I'd recommend as a good starting point for those interested in checking the band out. They may be comprised of old parts but the puzzle that is created is definitely something pretty new.
1) Interesting change of direction
2) Strong guitar and bass playing
3) Good song variety
1) Some fans may not agree with changes
2) Vocals still an acquired taste
3) Some songs could use more aggression
My Current Favorites:
"Out For Blood," "Written In The Stars," "The Sky is Falling," "Mirror Mirror (Look Into My Eyes)," and "House of Usher"
Icarus Witch are one of those "retro" (I have never particularly liked that term) Heavy Metal bands that are fortunately popping up these days more and more, like head lice in the spring. Unfortunately, however, this band is not as good as a few of their like-minded contemporaries in Slough Feg and Twisted Tower Dire, falling juuuuust short of a full combo meal, if you get my drift. They have groovy, hooky riffs and catchy choruses out the ass, and they have a warm, deep guitar tone that will keep your head banging, but the songwriting isn't up to scratch. The vocals are very good, but at times the singer lacks depth and charisma. The riffs are pretty good, but they could be so much better. The songs are catchy, but they often feel far too short and somewhat incomplete, as if the band rushed them a bit. As I said, this stuff just doesn't glaze over very well once you give it a concentrated listen.
I think Icarus Witch's problem is that they're trying too hard to be "retro," stockpiling elements from just about every style they could think of from those golden years of Rock/Metal, instead of just focusing on one element that they really excel at. It's like the band wanted this album to be some sort of Best Of The 80s compilation or something, because the songs here, while fun and enjoyable, are a somewhat cluttered mishmash of very early 70s and 80s Metal alongside a healthy helping of Hard Rock in the grooves that keep the songs flowing, and even a fairly prominent Glam Rock influence in the choruses and vocal lines. Icarus Witch are definitely retro and old-school and whatever else you want to stick on them, but at what cost? Songs for the Lost comes off as unfocused and without a true identity, an album from a band that doesn't exactly know what direction they want to go in yet. There are so many different styles used here that the music becomes rather faceless and bland compared to that of the band's aforementioned contemporaries, and it hurts the quality quite a bit. The fact that this album packs great songs like "Devil's Hour," "Out For Blood," "House of Usher" and "Written in the Stars" is definitely a plus, and Icarus Witch are a promising band. Let's just see if they can polish up their inconsistencies for the next album.
Originally written for http://www.metalcrypt.com
Yes, this album is catchy as hell, but I've always maintained that catchiness does not equal quality. This statement has never been exemplified as strongly as it has been on Icarus Witch's sophomore effort, Songs for the Lost. Icarus Witch plays a hard rocking blend of 80s arena rock and Def Leppard power pop... notice the word metal isn't in the description anywhere. I don't consider this album to be metal, is this a bad thing? No, I happen to like Guns n' Roses, however metal they are not. But don't let the guise of the traditional metal tag confuse you, you will bang your head maybe once throughout the duration of this extremely boring record. House of Usher contains some of the only solid riffs, and is probably the highlight of the record.
Now, let's get something straight, when I first heard this band, I proclaimed that it sounded like a slightly heavier Def Leppard with a sedated Geddy Lee on vocals. Now is it any surprise that they cover Def Leppard's Mirror Mirror here? My top 5 least favorite bands of all time are as follows:
1. Air Supply
2. Journey
3. Foreigner
4. Bon Jovi
5. Def Leppard
You'll notice that Def Leppard is the fifth entry on this list. Therefore, pretty much anything bearing even a passing semblance to them is bound to be tossed on to my shit list faster than Rosie O'Donnell to a free taco. And as if the sonic similarity wasn't enough to twiddle my anus for eternity, they covered a fucking Def Leppard song to boot! Congratulations Icarus Witch, any merit you may have had just got launched out the window.
Now, with my irrational hatred for all things Def Leppard aside, Icarus Witch are essentially behind on the times. Hey, I enjoy Municipal Waste and Evile as much as the next guy, but this isn't a good representation of yesteryear like the aforementioned examples are. Listening to Songs for the Lost makes me feel a little queasy... it's like a watered down, shamelessly cheesy 2nd tier 80s arena rock band. I can hear Written in the Stars being played to sold out arenas back in the mid 80s, but given the current timeframe, it's nothing we haven't heard a million times before a million times better. The stripped down riffs only seem to click in a few songs, namely Written in the Stars and House of Usher. In case you can't tell, those are my two favorite songs on this album. There are standout segments of other songs (The Sky is Falling, Devil's Hour), but on the whole the entire thing sounds unoriginal and half assed. Hell, repeated listens even make me wonder how catchy this even is. A lot of choruses tend to drag on forever and aren't ear catching in the slightest. C'mon, I only thought Iron Maiden could pull that off.
One thing I will say though, is that the guitar players are extremely capable, churning out blisteringly fast and intense solos every which way. It's almost like the hair bands from back in the day, you hear a really boring and simplistic riff, yet it is somehow insidiously catchy, and then from out of left field a searing solo melts your face off and then the band starts sucking again. So what this tells me in the case of Icarus Witch, is that the technical skill is there, but the songwriting skills are not yet there. I notice I claimed this album is catchy, yet at the same time boring. While this may seem like two completely opposite things, it actually manages to happen here. It's catchy like Def Leppard's Too Late is. It sucks, it's grating, but it's an ohrwurm that just refuses to go the hell away, plaguing your thoughts until it actually disrupts your sleeping pattern. Y'all know what I'm trying to say, it's catchy, but really bad.
Now, this isn't even close to the lowest score I've given out, so there is obviously some redeeming qualities. As previously stated, some of the songs are catchy in a good way, and some of the riffs are solid. But, as the score indicates, they are few and far between and most of the record is insipid and lifeless. There's very little magic to be found here, but magic is there nonetheless. With some refinement, I feel Icarus Witch could easily be a top tier traditional metal band, but until then, we have this.
I'll say, this can be considered somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine... but not so much "guilty" like "whoops, I feel like a bit of a dick because I farted in a fancy restaurant and blamed it on my girlfriend". No, this is "guilty" on par with "oh shit, I got drunk and accidentally ran my truck over a group of preschoolers", the kind of guilt that ends marriages, the kind of guilt that would prompt one to leap from their high rise apartment onto the comforting cushion of concrete. I really dislike this album, yet I find myself spinning Written in the Stars every now and again... it's bizarre.
Try it out if you don't mind arena rock, but don't expect a fresh take on the style. Innovation isn't a necessity, and this isn't as unoriginal as Stormwarrior, but at least Stormwarrior pull it all off with a flair and conviction that really makes a band. Songs for the Lost is a very bland record with few redeeming factors, I'd advise to stay away from it.
Third time is the charm. Icarus Witch blew me away with their debut EP Roses On White Lace, but despite some really good songs, their debut full-length Capture The Magic was not as good as I was hoping, and didn't quite catch fire. Finally, with surprisingly little fanfare, Icarus Witch have released a killer disc that lives up to their promise with their second full-length Songs For The Lost. Lineup changes have plagued this band, but they keep on forging themselves into a first-rate classic metal machine.
This is a heavier and darker album than Capture The Magic, with a harder-edged guitar sound and darker riffs. IW's signature broodingly mystical lyrics are in fine form, and songs like "The Sky Is Falling", "Queen Of Lies" and "Devil's Hour" are among their strongest tunes to date. Again there is not a whole lot of tempo variation between songs, and Icarus Witch never really speed up and kick your ass, nor slow way down and play doomier. They march along at their accustomed midpace, but this time it's less noticeable for some reason, and the album as a whole has a livelier feel. Part of that is the break delivered by the Def Leppard cover "Mirror, Mirror", which suits their style very well, and shows that DL used to be able to write real songs. The performances are spot on, especially the sharp guitar work of Steve Pollick and the always-charismatic vocals of wailer Matt Bizilia. I also have to note the greater prominence given to Jason Myers bass playing in the mix, giving this a much groovier, Sabbathy feel.
I have been waiting for this band to produce their masterwork, which I believe they are yet to do, but Songs For The Lost is a killer disc nevertheless, and fans of the band's previous works should know this is their best yet. Any fan of classic Heavy Metal should get this without hesitation. If they keep getting better like this, then Icarus Witch will be a name to conjure with. Highly Recommended.

The biggest difference between Icarus Witch's latest album Songs for the Lost and their first and previous one, 2005's Capture the Magic, simply put, is the fact that their balls have shrunk a bit. If Capture the Magic gave them a place next to the kings of this nice little throwback movement (Slough Feg, Bible of the Devil, Hammers of Misfortune), this new album produced again by Eric Klinger of Pro-Pain fame is closer to AOR than before. You know, the kind of album that gets full marks on melodicrock.com. The melodies, choruses, the grooves that want to be all stadium, the guitar riffs that are a little more timid in the mix and the snare with more reverb, 80s style. Take the following for further proof. Capture the Magic saw this band covering the Rhoads/Daisley penned S.A.T.O featuring the guitar hero George Lynch. This album sees them covering Mirror Mirror (from Def Leppard's early hard rocking moment, High n Dry) featuring the AOR king Joleen Turner. There's even a full fledged acoustic ballad called Smoke & Mirrors at the fag end of the album with a female vocalist guesting.
Mathew Bizilia on vocals is good and I will not deny that. He sounds like Geddy Lee singing for an NWOBHM band but the problem is, his lines are very low on energy and attitude even though the melodies make up for it more often than not. He hasn't changed much since the first album though. Just that in this setting, maybe a little more bombastic and energetic sounding singer would've made this album work more than him.
Steve Pollick still pulls off some good rhythm guitars within the confined pool that he draws his ideas from but it's the leads and the harmonies along with Jason Myers' old school bass playing that make this album click. Songs like the album opener Out for Blood, Nature of the Beast, Devil's Hour, House of Usher (arguably the heaviest of the album), the aforementioned cover of Mirror Mirror work for me and the rest of the album isn't bad either.
This second album is a bit of a slump or an evolution depending on where you come from. I'm going to give it 65, feel free to give it another 5 or maybe 10 if you dig 80s arena rock more than I do. Nothing more.

Daniel, our eldest son, went with his classmates on an island tour a day after their semestral break last week. I had a lot of misgivings because it was the first time he'd be going off on his own. On our way to the pier, his Papa kept quiet as I gave him a litany of do's and don'ts. I said a prayer for his safety as I watched him board the boat.
The other day, he attended a friend's birthday party on the other side of the city and came home late. His father offered to fetch him but my son said he'd just take the public transport. As I waited for him, I said another prayer for his protection. I heaved a sigh of relief when the doorbell rang.
Our three teen-aged sons usually meet at their Papa's office after school so that they could go home together. Yesterday, my husband and I had to attend a meeting after 5:00 PM. He instructed our 2nd son, Miguel, to go home on his own. The sky was overcast, so I also told him to head home early as it might rain. I called up the house around 6:15 PM and found out that he wasn't home yet. The help told me that it was already raining hard. What does a mother do at a time like this? I called him on his cell phone, asked where he was, gave him another set of instructions, and as I hung up, said a silent prayer for him. Thank God the rain stopped as he alit from the public transport he was riding in.
My! How the years have flown! As the famous song goes, wasn't it just yesterday when they were small? Wasn't it just yesterday when they depended on us, their parents, for their every need? And wasn't it just yesterday that we had the last word on almost everything that had to do with them? How they have grown! They're not just growing physically but are becoming more and more independent.
My! My! A part of me finds it difficult to let go while another part tells me to let them be. There is a tug-of-war going on within me. However, in the deepest recesses of my heart, I know, we raised them well; ingrained in them the Christian values that will carry them through difficult times. I also know these values will help them make the right choices later on in their adult life. Letting go is not an easy task. It is easier said than done. But I am learning, albeit, slowly… uhmm… slowly but surely.

Using what WORKS!
Countdown is used to using what WORKS for his usage without alot of finagling.
Others on here are 'early adopters' who get to deal with all the things that don't quite work... yet. That's not to say they won't get there, but lots of things don't quite work like they used to and there doesn't seem to be good reasons WHY they were changed.
Sure, he, and I, would like some updates - newer receiver chips, standard memory cards, more and longer tracks and routes. But the user interface on the older units works pretty good... as does the package (case, screen size, resolution) on a number of units - 276c, 398/498, etc. Some slightly older units work reasonably well, just need bigger screen - 60/76 series come to mind.
And you'd be hard pressed to find somebody who's been involved with technology on motorcycles longer than Countdown... if you don't know why his user name is what it is, check it out.
You'd also be hard pressed to find somebody who has done more GPS usage than him.... look at the number of routes/tracks/events that he's been involved in.
I've been using GPS's on my bikes/sleds well over a decade for riding, and nearly a decade to route/plan/ride/distribute stuff.... lots of stuff. I tend to agree with most of his complaints on some of the newer units. Heck, I use units that nobody else is even thinking of running and making it work - look at the pic of my bike's GPS's on the early Mobius 10 ride report.
I'm experimenting with other even more exotic Garmin stuff, and sometimes it seems like they deliberately make it hard for us to use it for our purposes. Why? They already have the software to do what we want to do, why did they take it out? Sheesh! These are units for a different market segment, but if the software was right the hardware is more than capable of doing what we are asking of Garmin....
Oh, and I've sent those suggestions along to Garmin and it seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

FPL to lower bills slightly beginning in January as fuel costs expected to go down
JUNO BEACH — Florida Power & Light Co. announced Monday it will lower bills beginning in January as a result of lower fuel cost projections pending approval by the state's Public Service Commission.
The overall bill should drop by about $2 a month for residents using 1,000 kilowatt hours of power, which FPL spokeswoman Jackie Anderson said it about the typical fuel user. FPL said the reduction in the fuel charge, in combination with adjustments to other components of the bill, will lower the typical bill from $96.54 in December 2011 to $94.62 in January.
In a release, FPL said while oil prices in 2012 are still expected to be high, the company has been modernizing its power plants and phasing out older, oil-fired units with cleaner, more efficient natural gas-fired generating capacity.
"At the same time, market prices of natural gas for 2012 are trending even lower than previously expected, and this is driving a significant reduction in our projected fuel costs for the coming year," FPL President and Chief Executive Officer Armando J. Olivera said in the release.
The announcement comes about a month before FPL is expected to make a bid to purchase the Vero Beach's electric utility system.
Lately, Vero Beach's rates have ranked among the lowest of the state's municipal utility systems, but at $117.36 for 1,000 kilowatt hours still are more than 21 percent higher than FPL's current rates. FPL's and Vero Beach's bills both include a 2.56 percent state gross receipts tax.
Vero Beach's bills are projected to climb by 6 to 7 percent in January or February, Vero Beach City Manager Jim O'Connor said Monday morning. He said the city's wholesale power costs are heavily dependent on coal plants, with much of this power coming from the Stanton I and Stanton II coal power plants in Orlando.
Vero Beach received another unsolicited offer for its utility system the other week, but officials are not able to consider that because they have an exclusivity agreement with FPL. The other offer did not state what its bills might look like, which O'Connor said is a key factor for the city when it comes to the utility.
Gerald Hartman, who through his firm GAI Consultants of Orlando has done utility consulting work for the city, said in October that he did not think other utility companies interested in the city's electric utility would be able to offer rates as low as FPL. He said, however, that they might be able to offer a rate somewhere between the city's rates and FPL rates.
O'Connor said the key factors for the city are to get the city's electric utility plant moved from its current location and to have rates that are equal or lower than FPL's rates. At the moment, it appears the city might be moving in the other direction when it comes to the second factor in this equation.
Algonquin Power & Utilities of Ontario, Can., sent the city an unsolicited offer of $125.3 million for its electric utility system. While the offer is more than the $100 million in cash FPL proposed paying, FPL officials have said its proposed deal is actually worth closer to $130 million when other parts of its offer is considered. Some of these factors include FPL absorbing $17 million in pension liabilities associated with the city's electric utility, paying for upgrades to the city's power grid, and relocating a substation from the power plant land. FPL has also proposed paying $1 million a year to lease the power plant land until the plant is decommissioned in about five years.
Earlier this year, GAI Consultants appraised the value of the city's electric system at $191.3 million, or $184.9 million after deducting for transactional costs and market conditions, although some council members have questioned how some of the numbers were reached by the consultant.

A lot of people are sick to death of big data. It's time to do a postmortem and examine the most important insights marketers have gained.
Sometimes, when we take a look at all the information being poured in by the multitude of new metrics, analytics, and measuring tools, it feels like we're having the same big message repeated: Marketing to demographics is a big mistake. Big data has taught us that centering on age, location, race, and gender is painfully obsolete.
Leah Spalding from Dynamic Logic speaks with iMedia about why "big data" has really become "rich data" when it comes to providing us with insights to move away from consumer demographics.

Oh pick me pick me!! :D
I'm kind of quiet at first but become more open once I get to know someone. Then I'm a complete dork, as if my headline isn't proof enough of that already. :) I'm young but friends tell me I have an old soul. I'm not entirely close to my family but I try to mediate well enough. I'm working and going to school at the same time. My hair is naturally a tri-color but I like it a darker red brown. I love the outdoors, but I'm a homebody when I want to be. I love trying new things, and being spontaneous. Random road trips are the best. I love books, movies, cooking, writing, camping, hiking, and exploring new areas. I dabble in photography and art. I love all kinds of music, just depends on my mood. I don't like trying to describe myself in this box. I'm attracted to confidence, morality, honesty, loyalty, and just a general positive attitude about things. A man who can cook and does not mind helping in the kitchen is sexy as hell. I'm not much of a partyer, usually when I go out its with a small group of friends to play darts or pool and just have a good time.

The Dallas Cowboys are the NFL's first and only $2 billion franchise as named by Forbes Magazine on Wednesday when it released its yearly NFL team value list. According to the list penned by Michael Ozanian, Forbes' executive editor, the Cowboys' value,is listed as $2.1 billion, which apparently is "a conservative estimate."
Talk about a solid investment for Jerry Jones. According to ESPN:
Ozanian said the magazine took into account the Cowboys' $80 million in sponsorship income, their state-of-the art stadium and the fact that they are the only team in the NFL that distributes its own merchandise to retailers. Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys in 1989 for $140 million. That's roughly a 715 percent increase to today's value, factoring in inflation. Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys in 1989 for $140 million.

The New England Patriots (1.635 Billion) and Washington Redskins (1.600 Billion) round out the top three teams. You can check out the rest of the list below courtesy of Forbes:

Ever notice how "what the hell" is always the right answer?
I'm easy-going, I have a great sense of humor, I like to laugh and have a good time. I like watching sports and going to games. I like nights out on the town, but I also like spending time at home. I'm not a prissy little princess, but I am definitely a lady. I can get my hands dirty, just not too dirty. I 'm not high maintenance, but I like to look good. I'm hard working, passionate, I stand up for what I believe in, drama -free. I like reality t.v....yeah yeah I know. I love music and love to shake my booty to a good song. I don't know what else to say...I'm just a normal girl that likes and does normal girl things. You"ll just have to get to know me. I'm looking for a average kinda guy...you know the kinda guy who likes to watch football on Sundays and drink a little beer. Someone who knows a little about everything, someone who can fix just about anything, someone who will have my back because I'm his lady. A man who is willing to be in charge, but not always have to run the show. A man who knows how to treat a lady, someone who definitely loves and respects his mother, however mama's boys are not welcome. A man who will open doors for you, wait to sit until your're seated...basically a gentleman. Silly, goofy, playful are good, but serious when necessary. Too much to ask for?

After doing radio voice overs for the past few years, I set up a home studio this past July and joined Voices.com.
Enter hero number two. I have had only GREAT experiences in my interactions with the staff at Voices.com. The team provides not only wonderful job opportunities, but also great resources for learning and growth in people's voice over careers.
Hero number three would be the very client who hired me through Voices.com. I will never forget the opportunity they allowed me to begin to learn, grow and do what I love.

Credit: Steven Robles – SF Giants Rumors Today is the day that really started to get my baseball juices flowing. I attended the San Francisco Giants Media Day at AT&T Park. I will get more in depth about the news I learned and interviews in the near future. Below is some notes from Media Day. As you probably guessed; Hunter Pence was asked a lot of questions about his speech during the playoffs. "I love this ballpark, it's beautiful," Pence said when asked about how he feels about AT&T Park. Tim Lincecum says he's definitely motivated this year. He believes that he needs to go after quicker outs, and doesn't need to strike everyone out. He also had a trainer during the offseason. It's also official that Lincecum is now rocking the short hair. Barry Zito says on paper the Dodgers are the team to beat. He also pointed out that good pitching beats good hitting. GM Brian Sabean says the Giants talked to infielder Ryan Theriot, but now there is no contact. Sabean also ...

MILWAUKEE -- Marquette forward Davante Gardner was ejected from Monday's 63-50 victory over South Florida after he was assessed with a flagrant-2 foul in the second half. With 13:46 left in the game, Gardner and USF forward Zach LeDay were tied up with the basketball in front of the USF bench. In an effort to get the basketball, Gardner swung his elbow, catching LeDay in the head. The officiating crew of Tony Greene, Gene Steratore and Bryan Kersey convened and determined it was a flagrant-2, resulting in Gardner's ejection. Though the possesion arrow was in Marquette's favor, the Bulls got two free throws and possession of the ball. There's no automatic suspension after a flagrant-2 ejection, but the Big East office has the authority to hand down further discipinary action. Two years ago, the NCAA changed the terminology on these plays. What used to be an intentional foul is now a flagrant foul, while the old flagrant foul is now a flagrant-2.

Test with Microsoft USB Test Tool (MUTT)
The Microsoft USB Test Tool (MUTT) device and the software package gives you a powerful set of tools for testing interoperability of your USB hardware with the Microsoft USB driver stack. This section provides a brief overview of the different types of MUTT devices, the tests you can run by using the device, and suggests topologies for controller, hub, device, and BIOS/UEFI testing.
How to get MUTT devices and the software package
Order MUTT devices: See How to get MUTT devices
MUTT software package
In this section
MUTT is the acronym for Microsoft USB Test Tool (MUTT). The MUTT software package contains several test tools and drivers that let hardware test engineers test interoperability of their USB controller or hub with the Microsoft USB driver stack. The test tools validate USB host controller software, hardware (including firmware) and any USB hub that is installed between the host controller and the device.
The MUTT software package contains several tools to be used with MUTT devices. The suite of tools include firmware upgrade application, driver installation package, and applications that send transfers to the device.
Before using MUTT devices, you must prepare the test system.
How to run stress and transfer performance tests for MUTT devices
Read how to run stress and transfer and Super MUTT performance tests.
Stress and transfer tests are geared towards saturating the bus protocol and the host controller software. These tests perform several simultaneous I/O transfers and cancellations to the MUTT device. The MUTT firmware is programmed to fail transfers during these tests. These failures emulate error conditions that the controller or USB driver stack are exposed to under stressful USB conditions.
How to run system power devfund tests in Visual Studio for MUTT devices
Describes the Device Fundamental tests that you must run for MUTT devices that are attached to available ports, to perform stress and transfer tests and system power tests.
These tests perform simple device transfers at the same time that they perform system power events. Note that devfund tests can only be run on Windows 8. You cannot run stress and transfer tests and the system power tests simultaneously. Perform those tests on separate systems. However, you can switch between stress transfer and system power tests. To do so, complete the first set of tests, reboot the machine, and then follow the instructions of the next test.
BIOS/UEFI testing validates USB boot and handoff of the controller to the operating system.
The goal of hub testing is to generate a complete set of possible traffic patterns from devices. You can test disconnect scenarios by adding an upstream SuperMUTT pack.
The goal of controller testing is to generate a complete set of possible traffic patterns from hubs and devices. This allows the internal state of controller and its firmware to be fully tested. MUTT devices can help the test by providing an automated method to generate various possible protocol scenarios.
The goal of device testing is to test device usage against various hub scenarios and systems power states. The MUTT Pack and SuperMUTT Pack devices can provide a way to expose the device to connect/disconnect scenarios across different hub and system power state scenarios. Test the device when it is attached to a USB 2.0 and 3.0 hubs in the MUTT Pack and SuperMUTT Pack devices, respectively.

UM London will deliver thought leadership in the Industry Insight area of the getmemedia.com website. The bespoke area will host a series of online insight and information factsheets addressing key media and marketing disciplines aimed at marketers and agencies, as well as tailored case studies.
UM London created its diversity unit, which focuses solely on targeting ethnic audiences for advertisers, in April 2009 as part of a joint venture with ethnic-focused communications consultancy Glen Yearwood Group.
The unit was launched with eight staff and is run by UM chief strategy officer Russell Place and Glen Yearwood.
Mark Middlemas, managing partner for business development, UM London, said: "With Britain's ethnic community predicted to account for up to 15% of the overall population in the 2011 census, we think it's more than valid that this group be specifically catered for by the media and marketing industry.
"Getmemedia is the perfect forum for the diversity unit to express its ideas on best practice for targeting this group and providing information and statistics to educate marketers and media owners.
"Our objective is to build a platform and community that leads to innovative and creative marketing relevant to this burgeoning sector of society."
The Interpublic Group agency will also act as a contributor to Getmemedia's marketing capability programme, Get Me Insight, which provides training and education for UK marketing and agency teams on a variety of media, marketing and audience themes.

Villers-Bretonneux Memorial Service
The 2015 Anzac Day Dawn Service broadcast from the Australian National Memorial, Villers-Bretonneux.
Like many villages in the area, the Great War reduced Villers-Bretonneux to little more than rubble and marked a moment in history when a special link was forged between that corner of France and the land down under. Villers-Bretonneux is where Australian diggers had one their greatest World War I victories, but it came at a huge cost for Australia, as 1200 died saving the village.
Each year, a small Anzac Day ceremony is held at the memorial to mark the sacrifice made by the diggers. Those who campaigned for many years for a dawn service at Villers-Bretonneux finally had their dream realised in 2008 on the 90th anniversary of the battle.
Thousands of people attend this service, including many from the town itself. For them, the long distance to Australia will always be bridged by the blood of Australia's sons given to secure French freedom.
A DVD of each service from 2008 to the current broadcast, is available to purchase.
