Enjoy the backyard year-round with an outdoor fire pit
By Elizabeth Scussel
October 23, 2013
You've said goodbye to barbecues, fireworks and warm summer nights. Chances are, you're ready to bid adieu to your backyard for the season, as well. However, the passing of summer doesn't necessarily mean it's time to pack up the patio until spring.
An outdoor fire pit can be the perfect way to keep cozy amid the crisp autumn air. Whether toasting marshmallows, sipping a glass of wine or just admiring the dancing flames, a fire pit may help you enjoy the turn in season.
"In the fall and winter months, most people wouldn't just sit around in the backyard like they do in the summer," explained Len Petrucci, of West Bloomfield. "A fire pit is a gathering place, and it's a way to enjoy your backyard all year. In the wintertime, a crackling fire outside creates a peaceful ambiance."
After years of using a portable fire pit, Petrucci, who manages a local logistics company, decided to construct a more permanent structure. He built his first fire pit out of the sandbox his children used when they were young.
If you're crafty, and a do-it-yourself fire pit is what you're looking to create, Petrucci recommends finding the location you want and leveling the land first. His recommended supply list includes weed blocker, treated lumber, pea gravel, bricks, glue and a caulk gun. It should cost about $300.
"There really aren't many tools involved," Petrucci said. "After leveling the ground, cut the grass out and apply the weed block. You can cut the center hole a bit deeper, but it's not necessary. Dig a trench for the treated wood perimeter, fill the interior with pea gravel and glue the bricks together for stability."
Petrucci now has two successful fire pit projects under his belt — one at his home and one at his daughter's home.
"I know the things I'm good at. I can't rewire a house, but I can build things like this," Petrucci said. "My biggest piece of advice for people building their own pit is to have patience. This project won't take 20 minutes."
If you want to leave the work to the professionals, there are many options. From premade kits to customized pits, the possibilities are numerous, with details such as granite, marble and glass tops, and designs from simple basins to multifunctional fire pits that double as cocktail tables.
A popular alternative to traditional wood-burning fire pits is an outdoor gas pit. The trend is growing, explained Bob Holmes of Shores Fireplace and BBQ in St. Clair Shores. If a gas fire pit is your chosen route, Holmes strongly suggests leaving the gas line work to professionals.
"Each year, we get more requests for outdoor gas pits. They are becoming more and more popular because there's no smoke or sparks," Holmes said. "However, safety codes vary from city to city. Do not leave a job like this up to Joe Blow the Plumber. So many things can go wrong. Check with your city hall and see what is allowed — then leave it to professionals."
Holmes credits the influx in fire pit popularity to people going out less.
"People are spending more time at home," he said. "From outdoor kitchens and bars to fire pits, people want to turn their backyard into usable living space."
Please note that fire pit rules and ordinances vary from city to city. Check with your city before installing or purchasing a fire pit for your backyard.

I agree. Sales and profit growth is limited the next decade in these sectors, and they need more efficiencies, and in an era where things are relatively cheap in terms of some equity prices, this would make sense to a Cisco, IBM, or similar. I think a buy out target of $25 is about right this quarter, it could get a lot more expensive in 6 months. i wonder if management has any information on these ideas.
I think management needs to come out and say what may be happening with respect to possible mergers. This is certainly the best quarter for a merger or buy out before the asset prices appreciate when the recession is over next winter.
I personally value BRCD at approximately $25 a share, however an inexpensive merger would be closer to $21 in share price.
Like all the other companies before the buyout speculation begins the share prices are usually dull for weeks as things are kept quite.
Even without a buy out, the valuations are cheap here, that is why the share price is up during a bad down day usually. That is what happened in the past couple of weeks to BRCM
Blackberry phones and operating systems are terrible, slow, and unreliable. BBRY will maybe end up keeping a few phone for the 3rd world, and some customers, but will become a software company and sell services. Expect the stock to consolidate, and shares to be approximately $2 by next year.
You got to be kidding? Alibaba is a bank, with an internet business based on the free web, which means it doesn't own or create content, think again. Easily bypassed by specialized sites. They are rushing ASAP to divest before the numbers come crashing down in 2 years! I say this year and next may be the last, unless in 3 years it will be a totally different company, maybe a real estate company, or soap supplier, and education service, and engine manufacturer... get it? Once they lose their focus they are nothing more than a bank or investment house, the market will punish them, and shares will be $30 by 2016
#$%$! He's an opportunist that came to California to copy, and was shielded by the communist Chinese merchantalist economy, dont you think? A joke, and now he's spending like no tomorrow recklessly hoping to make a buck somewhere, such a waste of resources and capital.
When there is a lock up expiry you should see everyone dumping, but well in advance the management will scheme and spew their garbage on retail investors to prop up shares, like they have last week.
Does anyone even use Alibaba lately? it functions like an internet pest, and is a mess.
This is a runaway train, with multiple spokes, with divestments in multiple fronts, and many businesses from toilet paper, real estate, banking, ecommerce to products, its just a huge seth pool of bankers with too much money and too many stupid ideas in order to try and forge some impressive returns.
This company is a scam and useless.
There are a lot of dividends arriving, however, note, that the company has well over $1 Billion US dollars in reserves and no doubt more capital after a great quarter that ended.
There are strategic purchases including titanium which will be used by military, space and aerospace, not to mention other innovative structural uses.
People are impatient, they expect that water will come out of a stone running like a stream, well look out there, do you see any international company that has this much innovation, capital, and is set for growth and sustainable. In this sector no doubt, Alcoa is a hold, even in a recession.
People can day trade garbage equities, including other organizations that simply are not a cornerstone in infrastructure, or poised to take advantage of a slow economy or fast growing one.
The price of these shares deserve major multiple expansion, and that will show in time.
The company will be upgraded after this monthly mess.
I expect the $20 by the summer.
If they fail to execute or luck out in the coming 2 quarters, the growth will stagnate, then look out below with its current market cap, it should not be trading like an ultra growth stock, and could even be knocked down to about $10 value.
However if they execute, but the numbers are always soft, then twitter may need much more time, something in the order of 2-4 years, similar to Facebook, which took nearly 10 years to reach large numbers.
If you think about it, ad revenue is stupid, these companies can sell only so many ads and generate money from businesses, many new AI applications will bring information to consumers in the coming years with new technology, including competing technologies on the horizon in other countries too, thus there is a real danger of falling behind quickly.
Thus its a risky play, and typically wall street are idiots and will talk and confuse the public, and moods in the marketplace can quickly change.
Usually you have 1-2 months for a bottom after earning on TWTR, thus i wouldn't but it here, most likely it may drop to the $30's after 2 weeks.
They may even have a terrible quarter next quarter, would could destroy the share price with a fall below $30.
It should re-test the lows of last quarter.
If next quarter is worse, look out below, it will hit even lower prices.
These new companies may be the canaries in the coal mine, slowly shrinking, like in Japan in the 1990's. I would wait until end of May or mid June to buy back in.

Highly recommend Graham's rides. Great cross country riding with a good mix of hill climbs fast flowing down hill and great technical sections. Would definitely go back next time in town. Thanks for a great morning riding your local tracks.
Had a great morning experiencing the best of the local trails! The hire bike was well maintained and rode well through the most challenging parts of the trails. Really enjoyed the descending trails also enjoyed the switch back climbing trails.
Thanks Graham and Jackson.
I'd like to thank Graham for a great morning today during the "All Mountain Tour"...technical climbs, a mix of technical and sweeping descents, great scenery. The bike park is awesome and a credit to its creators! Graham's knowledge of the trails and descents makes it a safe and enjoyable experience, and the bikes that were provided were excellent.
I did 3 rides with Graham, 2 all mountain and 1 shuttle. The All mountain rides are ~20km/3hours long with a good balance of technical sections, climbs and flowing tracks. Graham does a fantastic job at leading the group, explaining the route and making sure everyone has fun - great way to spend your morning.
I also did the shuttle,...
Great Guide, Great Mt Park, Great Mt bike ride, if you ride a bike you got to ride the world cup circuit, Awesome Cheers Glenn NZ
Graham is a real enthusiast, who knows a lot about mountain bikes, is very accommodating with helping you get set up on a bike if you are hiring one, and he is also a very good rider so who better to show you around the mountain bike park. We had a fun morning ride, doing a variety of tracks and...
I really wanted to MTB at Cairns and if possible ride the World Cup course. I made a couple of calls and emails and Graham was really responsive and provided useful information that helped me plan my trip. You can take your own bike or borrow theirs (they can actually lend everything you need, and I ultimately left my bike...
Arrived at the shop late on a Friday afternoon hoping to do a tour on the Saturday before an early afternoon flight. Met Graham who worked it so he could take me out in the morning, which was great as there wasn't actually a tour scheduled at that time. On Saturday morning, the bike was all ready to go and...
I did a one on one lesson one day and the All Mountain ride the next. Spectacular trails and an awesome experience. Thanks to Graham and Jody for their hospitality and their in-depth knowledge of the trail network and skill required for the difficult features.
Highly recommended.
Great company. Hire bikes and equipment were perfect for the conditions and trails.

The day Hollywood sent James Stewart to a brothel to make a man of him
Root around the history of Hollywood, and you won't find many too stars with a cleaner, more wholesome reputation than Jimmy Stewart. But that, hasn't stopped his latest biographer from digging up the dirt.
Marc Eliot, author of a previously acclaimed biography of Cary Grant, says the notoriously tyrannical MGM boss, Louis B Mayer, was so concerned about the young Stewart's apparent lack of interest in ladies he forced him to visit a brothel so people wouldn't start gossiping that he was gay.
The episode may say more about the glorious clash between Hollywood licentiousness and American puritanism than it does about Stewart. But it also opens a window on an era when actors and their reputations were effectively owned by the studios that held their contracts, and subject to extraordinary manipulations....

Posted by ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas
Long ago, I learned not to read too much into preseason games. I saw Tampa Bay teams coached by Sam Wyche look good in the preseason and then hit double-digit losses in the regular season.
But I am going to take one thing seriously out of Saturday night's preseason game between the Falcons and Chargers. That's the Atlanta defense.
It didn't look good at all and that's a growing reason for concern. We all knew the Falcons would be entering this season with five new starters on defense and that means there is going to be some transition.
But shouldn't we be seeing some positive signs by now? Probably. But we haven't. In the only preseason game that really matters (because the starters play a fair amount), Atlanta's defense struggled. Yes, San Diego has a good offense, but LaDainian Tomlinson wasn't even playing. It didn't matter because the Chargers barely ran the ball.
They were throwing it and throwing it very well. In the first half, the Chargers had somewhere around 250 passing yards. That's not good news for any defense and every offensive coordinator the Falcons face in the regular season will be watching the video blueprint of how to carve up Atlanta's defense.
The Falcons aren't going to go out and blow up their defense at the end of the preseason. They're going with what they've got and that's a little scary. They could have gone out and grabbed some blue-chip defensive backs in the offseason. But they didn't.
They're going with Brent Grimes and Chris Houston as their starting cornerbacks and Erik Coleman and Thomas DeCoud as their starting safeties, for better or worse. If the Falcons are going to make the best of this, they need to do some of the same things they do with their offensive line. They don't have a tremendous amount of talent there, but they make the most of it because they hide their weaknesses.
They need to do the same thing with the secondary. The best way to do that is with a pass rush. They've got an elite rusher in John Abraham, but they need more than that. They need third-year pro Jamaal Anderson to step up from the very start of the season. Anderson was a top 10 pick in 2007 and he'll be on the bench if he doesn't start quickly.
The Falcons have Chauncey Davis, Lawrence Sidbury and Kroy Biermann as alternatives to Anderson. One, or some combination, of all those defensive ends will have to step up or the secondary really might be in trouble.

"Last year we sat on the beach and I told you how much I loved you, and how I would always, always protect you. And that day nobody believed that this would work. But…I don't think anybody understood the love that I have for you. Because if they did, they would have never doubted us, so I wanted to marry you all over again in front of most of our world. Because today, when I look into your eyes, my love for you only grows…it's even stronger now. My love will never waiver. This I vow to you, today, and always and forever."
Then I saw you. I promised myself that if I could just get up, and walk over to you, and tell you how much I need you, and how much I want you, that nothing else matters.

HALEY: What does that mean?
NATHAN: All right, I screw up a lot. All right? And being around you, I just.. I don't want to be that guy anymore.
HALEY: Well, who do you want to be, Nathan?
NATHAN: I want to be somebody who's good enough to be seen with you.
HALEY: Well you should have thought of that last night. You know, I keep putting myself out there and you keep blowing it. And it's probably a good thing because at this point there's nothing that you can say or do that's gonna surprise me. (he kisses her) Except that. You shouldn't have done that, Nathan.

I've been going to Toyo for years simply because on more than one occasion (including this last one) the solution to my problem was done at either no cost or minimal cost. When bringing my Sequoia in, and expecting the worst, it's refreshing to have someone fix it honestly and without trying to tell me I need several other repairs done as well. That kind of ethical business is what keeps me loyal to Toyo.
Verified Real Client- Thank you Jeff, we really appreciate your loyalty. You have always been fantastic to work with, and kudos on taking such great care of your vehicles!

Finally decided to have the plugs changed on my 07 VW Passat at 133,000 and Toyomotors did a great job at exactly the price they quoted several months ago. It may be my imagination but it seems a little peppier to me and like always Neil, Jesus and the crew stand behind their work so you never have to worry as you may with other shops or shade-tree mechanics. Save yourself stress and money and go to Toyomotors!

IT Specialist/Aspiring Artist
Germany - Last active: 1 month ago - Tests: 10
With 2 finished apprenticeships (IT assistant and IT specialist - system integration) I have 6 years of experience with diverse IT topics, both from school and practical work in a company. I have a passion for efficiency and constantly seek to improve my work and my personal life, and I always try my best to put some real thought into whatever I do instead of just working it off like routine. I love complex tasks but I can deal with simple work just as good if needed. Since I'm still pretty young I can't call myself an expert on any topic yet, but I have basic or advanced skills in many areas and I'm a fast learner. I have a head full of ideas which I want to put to good use. My MBTI personality type comes closest to INFJ-A, with a very strong emphasis on the N, and much more balanced levels in the other traits. There's a rough list of my skills at the end of the overview. As for my hourly price, the indicated number is just a very rough figure, the real amount of money I'll charge of course depends a lot on my expertise in the area I'll work on, so it might be more or less than that. I like analyzing programs, setups and situations to find ways to improve any existent processes, a skill my last employer appreciated. In that apprenticeship I've been entrusted with a project to develop plugins for Trimble SketchUp. I've been working on it for 4 months, and I was responsible for most of it myself, from making concepts through converting and modelling dynamic components to programming the scripts and testing the whole thing. Throughout the whole project I've been communicating with many different people in the company, regularly showing my results and fetching feedback whenever necessary or useful. My hobbies include working with Apophysis and Illustrator to create Art. I'm also interested in game development, but didn't have much opportunity to work in that direction yet. I'm planning to learn working with the Qt framework (C++) for one project, and I'm also learning to work with Unity (C#) for another project. Artistic skills: Illustrator →Tracing complex line arts →Basic to intermediate coloring and shading →Basics in making my own art Photoshop →Basic or intermediate fixes and adjustments →Creating animated gifs SketchUp →Basic to Intermediate modelling →Scripting →Creation of complex dynamic components Apophysis →Creating smooth looping and complicated animations (usable for textures and sprite sheets) Programming skills: Scripting →Ruby Advanced (for SketchUp, NOT Ruby on Rails) →Pascal Advanced (for Apophysis) →C# Basics (for Unity) →JavaScript Basics (for Illustrator) →TypoScript Basics (for TYPO3) Programming →C++ Basics →Learning Qt and Unity Design →HTML Basics →CSS Basics →TYPO3 Basics

DDA asked to look into problem of unsafe buildings
New Delhi: With a survey by Central Building Research Institute finding that 70 percent of buildings on the Yamuna floodplains were structurally unsafe, Delhi LG Tejinder Khanna has asked DDA to form a specific unit to deal with this problem.
Khanna, who is also the Chairman of DDA, said the survey found that 70 percent of houses on the Yamuna flood plains were "unsafe structurally" and could face damage in the event of a severe earthquake.
"I have been telling DDA that we want to create a specific body to go in for retrofitting and reconstruction of unsafe housing in East Delhi," he said.
Speaking at a workshop organised to review the Master Plan of Delhi 2021, he said private developers could also utilise the opportunity to develop unauthorised colonies.
"I think redevelopment of all unauthorised colonies is going to be a huge opportunity for developers," he said, adding that developers could be given additional FAR for such redevelopment.
Khanna noted that farmhouses in Delhi functioned as "lungs of the city" and said it would be a disaster if high density buildings were to come up there as there would be no water to drink.
He said farmhouses would be regularised by charging a fee and they would be required to maintain a minimum prescribed level of greenery.

TORONTO - A season of missteps finally caught up to decorated ballet star Rex Harrington and his fiance Bob Hope — an improving, ever-quotable pair who were nevertheless the fifth team eliminated from "The Amazing Race Canada" on Tuesday.
Fleet of feet and wit, Harrington and his partner had become the show's droll breakout stars after initially looking like one of its weakest squads, but a whisk through Winnipeg ended their hopes of continuing on.
First, the pair made a dawdling Detour decision to pack perogies — a much more time-consuming task than the alternative — before the typically loquacious Harrington forgot the words in a goofy rock-star challenge, meaning the season's most irreverently tart-tongued duo finally fell short of the barre.
Even in defeat, a sanguine Hope called the race "the most amazing experience of our lives."
Lockstep twins Pierre and Michel Forget won the leg (and a trip to Los Cabos, Mexico) simply because the Francophone fraternity bypassed the English-intensive Road Block entirely. For that, they utilized their Express Pass, a gift from Canadian Olympians Natalie Spooner and Meaghan Mikkelson — whose journey to the centre of Canada, by the way, proved deeply humbling.
Before that, all the teams loaded on the same flight from the Yukon to Winnipeg (via Vancouver) and zoomed to the Royal Canadian Mint, where the day's first challenge required competitors to match international coins with their respective national flags. It stymied no one.
So the episode's first signs of drama came with the Detour, which offered two choices: "Pinch It," requiring teams to carefully assemble 74 perogies in the untelegenic basement of the St Ivan Suchavsky Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral; or "Puck It," tasking teams with navigating the MTS Centre ice and scoring five goals in five distinct parts of the net.
(Montreal couple Alain Chanoine and Audrey Tousignant-Maurice bravely opted for the episode's Fast Forward option — which required locating seven faded "ghost signs" — and rocketed to a second-place finish as a result.)
Everyone understandably presumed the hockey challenge provided an unfair advantage for the gold medallists Natalie and Meaghan, including Natalie and Meaghan.
"They're going to sneeze and they're going to be out," Bob crowed with an implied roll of his eyes.
Indeed, the typically stone-faced hockey players laced up their skates with a palpable giddiness.
"It's kind of a challenge made for us," enthused Natalie.
"I want to wear this all day," smiled Meaghan as she strapped on her helmet.
Well, she would almost get her wish. As expected, the hockey stars initially glided smoothly about the ice, effortlessly hitting their first four out of five targets.
When it came to the notorious "five hole," though, they struggled. And struggled. Then struggled some more.
"It's the stick. I'm blaming the stick," lamented Natalie.
Eager to provide contrast, there was the reliably frantic Terrace, B.C., sibling duo of Sukhi and Jinder Atwal, who immediately compared their non-existent experience level to that of the Olympians.
"Do you know how to skate, Sukh?" Jinder queried.
"No. How hard could it be?" replied Sukhi.
"Do you know if you're left-handed or right-handed?" he asked.
"Who cares?" she responded.
Her dismissive confidence was, at least relatively speaking, well-founded.
On the other hand, two seasoned professionals in Natalie and Meaghan floundered to the point of real frustration, failing again and again to slide the puck through the five hole.
"This is just a little embarrassing," acknowledged Natalie, her initial enthusiasm gone.
Cheery Ontario forest dudes Mickey Henry and Pete Schmalz nailed the challenge on nine shots total. It took Pierre and Michel 11. Sukhi and Jinder, complete on-ice neophytes, required 39 tries before moving on.
And then there were Natalie and Meaghan, who finally advanced after snapping a grand total of — wait for it — 57 shots.
Their competitors scarcely tried to conceal their schadenfreude, likely amplified by the Olympians' race-spanning dominance.
"It's just the most epic thing ever to watch gold medal Olympians keep missing," grinned Jinder.
"Dude, we just beat Olympians! We ARE Olympians!" shouted Mickey and Pete upon departure.
Humiliated as they understandably were, the hockey stars were offered no respite from embarrassment at their next stop: the Winnipeg club Whiskey Dix for a Road Block singalong.
The challenge required one member of each team to memorize the lyrics to an unknown glam-metal tune called "When the Sun Goes Down" (composed by Imaginary Cities' Rusty Matyas), and perform to a packed crowd while clad in a "rock-star" getup — including silly pants, a silly shirt and an extra silly wig, along with three accessories.
"Of course I'm going booty shorts," concluded Mickey, who also selected a Slash-redolent mane of bountiful curly black hair and a fake mustache that kept falling off.
"The second I put the outfit on, I just lost a nut," enthused Jinder.
Aside from the language barrier-blocked Forgets, the teams didn't struggle much with the challenge. Jinder, Natalie and Mickey all moved on after fewer than a half-dozen run-throughs apiece, mostly allowing themselves a moment to soak up a little adulation as they exited.
"I had to kiss a few babes on the way out," explained Mickey. "And then I was like, 'Not now babes. I have to go see my boyfriend Jon Montgomery.'"
Ultimately, then, it came down to a showdown between Rex and Bob and Vancouver bartenders Ryan Steele and Rob Goddard, mutually slowed by the rather dull perogy-packing challenge.
Rex finished the challenge in six tries, but couldn't have predicted that Rob possessed an inner Sunset Strip just waiting to beam out.
"I got right into character," said Rob as he donned a hot pink wig. "New me!"
He nailed the challenge on his first try, and thus relegated the show's celebrity pair to elimination.
As they jogged on to the Pit Stop, Rex and Bob actually misjudged the field and arrived believing they were in third place.
"Delusional," muttered Rex as he found out the truth.
And so, the pair's final pithy barb was self-directed. But Rex and Bob — seemingly so vulnerable in the show's early going, when they at one point abandoned two challenges in the same episode — in fact departed having proven their mettle, surviving to the series' halfway point.
Accordingly, they seemed undaunted by their ouster. Host Montgomery was appropriately joined at the Pit Stop by a ballet dancer, and on Rex's way out, he playfully embraced and dipped the woman.
"We got to see Canada and do some amazing stuff," he said later. "So we're really happy."
Next week, the racers scurry off to Normandy, France. First, Rex and Bob took time Wednesday to discuss their ouster with The Canadian Press.
CP: So, perogies. How much do you regret the perogies? It seemed much more time-consuming than the alternative.
Rex: It was, but I can barely stand up on skates.
Bob: After having seen Sukhi and Jinder struggle with it, and then still get through it, and faster obviously than we did with the perogies, I think it would have been an easier challenge. Plus when the other teams are all there, it makes you really go hard. We were the only ones initially in that basement and with all those grannies we got all comfy and cozy and we actually stopped racing-racing. We completely forgot we were racing. Then when Rob and Ryan came we were all just kind of hanging out with the girls. It was hysterical.
CP: Did you forge any friendships here?
Bob: For sure. We're really, really tight and close with Shawn and Jen. They've come to visit and stay with us twice already. We love love love love them. We did during the race start to form a good relationship with Cormac and Nicole and Audrey and Alain. Those three teams, we became really close.
CP: How did it feel watching yourselves on TV?
Rex: Umm... I need to go on Jenny Craig. Not happy about that.
CP: Let's talk the leg where you did quit on two challenges. I saw a fair bit of vitriol online directed your way. What did you make of the reaction, and do you regret it?
Bob: We regretted it like that evening. And it was really humbling and eating a lot of humble pie. We knew that we would get a lot of negative backlash. We're just so glad we got it out of the way early. We all have a bad day at the office. Unfortunately ours played itself out in front of the whole country.
CP: You told me before the race you'd spend your winnings on a wedding. You didn't win, but will you still get married?
Rex: We'll be like Star Jones and get everything donated.
Bob: Ultimate goal was to have Cher at the wedding. Now we have to figure out how we're going to get Cher. I do not want an impersonator. I want Cher.
CP: Most people have those dreams where they're back in school and late for an exam they didn't study for. What element of "Amazing Race Canada" will haunt you?
Bob: Driftwood.
Rex: And surf boards.

Palm Gets Cute, Targets Women And Students
Palm Gets Cute, Targets Women And Students
by , 12:00 PM EDT, August 7th, 2000
Feeling the heat from other companies building fully featured Palm OS based devices, like Visor and Sony, Palm computing has raised the stakes by introducing a new US$149 model specifically targeted at women and students. The Palm m100 is the company's new entry level device, reportedly featuring a new form factor and changeable colored face plates. According to Palm:
Palm, Inc. today announced four innovative handheld computer products designed to reach new users and aficionados alike, all featuring enhancements that further leverage Palm's ease-of-use design philosophy. The new products include the Palm m100 handheld with intuitive new applications and fashionable casing that is customizable with multicolored faceplate accessories; the Palm VIIx handheld, an updated version of Palm's built-in wireless product with more memory and wireless content available right out of the box; and two sleek limited edition Palm Vx products, offered with "millennium blue" and "champagne" metallic finishes.
Each of the new products premieres alongside a suite of accessories and hardware snap-ons that personalize the look or tailor the functionality of the Palm handheld into a specialized tool. In addition, customers who purchase new products between now and Sept. 30 are eligible to receive a free "Road Scholar" CD, featuring a selection of 11 research and educational applications that make a Palm handheld an integral learning tool.
The Palm m100 handheld is Palm's new entry-level product, featuring a contemporary, customizable design and a new Note Pad application, for jotting quick freehand notes, maps or drawings. Debuting at an estimated street price of $149, it is the company's lowest introductory price point to date.
"Our fall lineup is a treat for new and experienced Palm handheld users, and extends our suite of solutions," said Alan Kessler, chief operating officer of platform and products for Palm, Inc. "People have come to understand and appreciate that the handheld computer is a fundamental support tool for managing their professional and personal lives more efficiently. This new lineup of products addresses the needs of an even broader spectrum of users and further rounds out the family of Palm handhelds - all with Palm's signature simplicity and elegance."
Palm is also pleased to announce additional third-party peripheral support of the m100 handheld from companies such as Kodak, Northstar Systems and Singapore Shinei Sangyo Pte Ltd.
Actual availability of the new Palm m100 was not made available to The Mac Observer. However, the product was not yet available at the Palm Store at publication time. You can find more information at the Palm Computing web site.
The Mac Observer Spin:The success of the Handspring Visor, and the continuing emergence of Palm devices as a type of status symbol, have forced Palm into the first major redesign of their product since the original Pilot's launch. Even though Palm is in denial, the m100 is targeted directly at the same market that is currently being served by the low-end Handspring Visor.
This type of tit-for-tat competition between the two largest manufactures of the wildly popular Palm OS products will lead to better, less expensive devices for consumers.

The American Nightmare that is Civil Asset Forfeiture

The American Nightmare That Is Civil Asset Forfeiture
by Wendy McElroy
Being innocent does not matter. Not being arrested or convicted of a crime is no protection. With amazing ease, the government can take everything you own. And to recover it, you must prove your innocence through an expensive and difficult court proceeding in which a severely lowered standard of evidence favors the government. This is civil asset forfeiture.
Russell and Patricia Caswell of Tewksbury, Massachusetts, know the process well. For the last two years they have battled to keep the motel that Russell's father built in 1955 and at which Russell has worked since childhood. The couple assumed ownership of Motel Caswell in the 1980s, and viewed the asset, worth approximately $1 million, as their retirement plan.
In the past 20 years, the Caswells have rented out approximately 125,000 rooms. Of the renters, about .05 percent have been arrested for crimes. As "good" citizens, the Caswells have meticulously reported any suspicious activity on the part of renters to the police, including possible drug use.
Nevertheless, the U.S. Department of Justice is in the process of confiscating the motel without any compensation, through civil forfeiture, because it was used in the commission of a crime. The local police with whom the Caswells actively cooperated for years are the ones who reported them to the federal agency. Why? Because, under a policy known as "equitable sharing," the Tewksbury police department stands to gain as much as 80 percent of the value of the seized property.

... the steep climb. The top of Blacktail Butte was encompassed in clouds, and it felt like we were at the top of the world. The rain held off, and as we reached the top, we were greeted with sunshine. The total hike for each group was just under 5 miles.

... just to see it, but opted to have a beer and dinner at the local Snake River Brew Pub. They had a fairly good pilsner, with lemon not lime. Was fairly tipsy when we left – 1 beer at 4.9% alcohol – what a cheap date!
Tomorrow we will look around town a bit and then head south into Utah. I'm hoping for heat, as I need to change out of my white jeans which are holding up well, but look at bit dingy from 3 days ...

We beat most of the people there, so we had it mostly to ourselves again. That was the first time Molly had been to that spot, and she really loved it too. After we got the kids to bed, I went back down to catch the end of the sunset over the lake.

Sophie had catfish, Bill had steak that came with eggs on top that was on top of rice with kimchee mixed into it...very spicy. I had short ribs with this excellent cherry sauce on them.

However, this is clearly a town geared towards rich tourists. My best comparison is Old Town Alexandria in cowboy boots, except Jackson is only a little over 100 years old. Coolest "old west" feature: covered wooden side walks (like a boardwalk). It seemed like every other store downtown was an art gallery (do people buy a lot of art on vacation?) or high-end western wear (meaning: decorative, not functional – ...

According to a Jan. 4 report from Radio Netherlands Worldwide, French sailors have thwarted two attempts to hijack ships in the Gulf of Aden. The French intervened when Somali pirates tried to enter two cargo ships, one sailing under the Croatian and the other under the Panamanian flag. Nineteen pirates were arrested and handed over to the Somali authorities. The French authorities had already prevented an attack on another Panamanian ship in the straight between Somali and Yemen three days ago.

Over the Weekend - Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Shine 3 Year Anniversary and Joe Jackson
What's up with the sudden chill? It ruined our plans to hangout poolside on Sunday with plenty of stiff drinks to go around. Well, the drinking still happened, but we were bundled up indoors.
The biggest news this weekend, of course, was the reopening of the Fontainebleau Hotel. Plenty of celebrities, including A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard and P. Diddy, were all spotted in the Magic City over the weekend. And yes, plenty of F-listers like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton were here too spreading whatever venereal disease they are current suffering from.
But for those look for more of an intellectual kind of stimulation, there was always the Miami Book Fair International. Who are we kidding? Here is what you missed over the weekend:
Victoria's Secret Fashion Show at Fontainebleau Hotel
Ivon David Rojas
It was heaven at Fontainebleau this weekend as the Victoria's Secret Angels took over the newly reopened hotel for the retailer's annual fashion show. While we didn't get access to the fashion show itself, we still we able to capture the models' yacht arrival and hair and makeup rotations.

I've only been on Amoxicillin for 2 days with my sore throat and fever and I feel much better.
by Charley, 23
I'm a TV journalist. I love my profession and I love women. But these two passions of mine do not get on. I'm always on the run, I visit many places, I do not sleep enough. Different parties every week, lots of alcohol, pretty girls. I enjoy it but my organism does not.) My career depends on my activity and if people start spreading rumors about my impotency, that would be a catastrophe! So after a couple of fiascos I bought Viagra Super Active+. Now I have great confidence in my lady-killer image.

Like thousands other people in America I suffer from asthma and the disease has been with me since I was a little boy. First it were my parents who have been looking for a perfect medication for me, then I started looking for a miracle myself. And you know what I learnt after these twenty-something years of hope and disappointments? There are no miracles in this world. But there are drugs that can make your life so much better. For me Ventolin turned out to be this drug. It provided great relief, breathing is so much more pleasant and easier with Ventolin. It also effectively stops sudden attacks. And what is also very important for me I haven't actually noticed any serious side effects unlike with other similar drugs. I experienced slight headache at first but probably it was my body adapting to the new drug. Now we are best friends and Ventolin has never let me down.

Advair Diskus was prescribed to me by my therapist as a preventive treatment of bronchial allergy. Bronchus biopsy before and after therapy stated that current medicine effected the general condition of my bronchi and I may say that I do feel better after taking Advair Discus! I advice anyone who has problems with bronchial system to take Advair Discus. It really works guys!
by Tina Lewis, AL
I am 45 years of age and for 20 years I have been suffering from asthma. During this time I have tried out many medications and methods to control my disease. And I can tell you for sure, Advair is the best solution that I have seen. It is cheap and very convenient to use. I really enjoy life since I switched to Advair. Now I can control my condition and have no sudden asthma attacks, while with other meds it was far more difficult to avoid breathing problems 100%. It was especially difficult for me in cases of nervous shock or at tense moments, when I was concentrated and worrying. Asthma could easily play a dirty trick on me and ruin all my plans. But with Advair I can be 100% sure there will be no unpleasant surprises and even if I feel like having another asthma attack with the help of Advair I can quickly stop it's development. I also like the way I can buy the medication from this online drugstore - it is very convenient to do even from working place and have it later delivered to where I live or where I plan to be at the chosen moment. The meds I have bought here, were always of excellent quality. In other words, I recommend you both the medication and the website - ideal combination for me.
by Kim Owen, Edmonton
I am grateful to the creators of this amazing medicine as it ridded me of many problems in my personal life. I was simply unable to have normal sexual relationship with women. When I started using this drug my potency improved noticeably. If it were not for Viagra, my personal life would be broken. But now I have a steady girlfriend and she is proud of the sex we have. Actually, she doesn't know about the problems I had before. Viagra is my little but powerful secret.

ABSTRACT: A mixed-valence state of the cation radical tetrathiafulvalene dimer, [(TTF)2]+*, is generated by the electrochemical oxidation of a stacked TTF dimer accommodated within an organic-pillared coordination cage. This mixed-valence species is remarkably stable (t1/2 = approximately 1 day at room temperature in aqueous solution under air) and clearly characterized by cyclic voltammogram and electronic absorption spectroscopy.Journal of the American Chemical Society 11/2005; 127(39):13456-7.

ABSTRACT: This paper describes a new strategy to regulate multicomponent assembly from two kinds of pyridine-based ligands and cis-protected Pd(II) ions. The introduction of sterically hindered substituents to only one of the two ligands directs the complementary cis-coordination of the two lingads on the Pd(II) center, leading to the selective multicomponent assembly of two- and three-dimensional polynuclear Pd(II) complexes (e.g., square-, rectangular-, and trigonal prism-shaped molecules).Journal of Organometallic Chemistry 11/2005; 690(23):5383-5388.

Article: An Efficient Ionization Method of Electrospray Mass Spectrometry: The Development of an Aromatic-Cored Matrix That Wraps Labile Metal Complexes through Molecular Recognition[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Compound 1a, which possesses a triphenylene core and six tetraethyleneoxide side chains, shows efficient ionization of M(II)-containing (M=Pd, Pt) complexes in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The molecular ion peaks [M]+, which are hardly detected under common ESI-MS conditions, are clearly observed as their [M x (1a)n]+ (n=1-4) adducts. UV-visible and NMR studies reveal that the electron-rich triphenylene core of 1a binds to the electron-deficient frameworks of the M(II) complexes in solution, giving rise to charge transfer (CT) complexes. We suggest that 1a stabilizes the complexes and promotes efficient ionization through unique donor-acceptor molecular recognition.Chemistry 04/2005; 11(8):2519-24.

ABSTRACT: Metal-hinged, organic-pillared cages accommodate a limited number (n) of π-stacked molecules in the cavity (see scheme): Discrete n + 2 aromatic stacking occurs by the accommodation of n large aromatic guests (n = 1-3). Owing to efficient donor-acceptor (D-A) interactions, A-D-A (n = 1), A-D-D-A (n = 2), and A-D-A-D-A (n = 3) stacks are observed, which bring about even-odd-number effects in the UV/Vis absorption spectra.

Article: Multicomponent Assembly of a Pyrazine-Pillared Coordination Cage That Selectively Binds Planar Guests by Intercalation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A prismlike cage composed of six end-capped PtII ions, two panel-like ligands, and three pyrazine pillars assembles quantitatively through the template effect of a planar aromatic guest (see space-filling structure). The cage thus obtained is stable even when the template is removed. Other large aromatic molecules are also strongly bound and a β-diketone is shown to exist only in a planar enol form in the cage with the keto-enol tautomerization being almost completely suppressed.Angewandte Chemie International Edition 08/2003; 42(33):3909-13.

Article: DOSY Study on Dynamic Catenation: Self-Assembly of a [3]Catenane as a Meta-Stable Compound from Twelve Simple Components[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Synthesis of [2]catenane 6 has been successfully achieved by the combination of Pd complex 1 and pyridines 2 and 3 at a molar ratio of 2:1:1 in D20. A mixture of square molecule 4 (prepared from 1 and 2) and macrocycle 5 (obtained from 1 and 3), in which the final ratio of 1, 2, and 3 was kept 2:1:1 reorganizes in D2O/CD3OD (1:1) to form 6 within one day. However, the same mixture in D2O shows the formation of novel [3]catenane 7 along with the [2]catenane. In order to make 7, the theoretical ratio of components 1, 2, and 3 should be 3:1:2. Thus, deliberately maintaining such ratio of the above-mentioned molecules, a higher proportion of the [3]catenane is observed in D2O as found from 1H NMR spectra of the system. Reorganization of the twelve components to form [3]catenane is supported by studies with the DOSY method. This method is a first attempt to separate, from a mixture, either catenanes or any other supramolecular self-assembly structures. CSI-MS studies further support the assigned catenane super structures 6 and 7. All the results indicate that the [2]catenane is thermodynamically the most stable structure, while the [3]catenane is a meta-stable self-assembly.Chemistry 11/2001; 7(19):4142-9.
