Speeds are good but still seem pretty spotty. Hopefully the coverage maps will catch up soon too so we can see where the coverages holes are. ....speeds are good when you can get them though!

Editor's desk: Mainstream geniuses, Olympic rights, and streaming wrongs
I spent most of last week laughing it up in Winnipeg with my fellow fuzzball's from Mobile Nations -- that'd be Phil Nickinson of Android Central, Daniel Rubino of WPCentral, and Kevin Michaluk from CrackBerry.com, in order. We spent a few days figuring out where the network was, and most importantly, where we're going through the rest of 2012 and into 2013. You'll be hearings -- and seeing -- a lot about that soon.
But let's jump back out of hyperspace for a moment and take a look at the week that was...
Stressing over Apple's new Genius ads
Apple aired three new ads during the Olympic Opening Ceremonies, and the first ads I'm aware of focusing on Apple Retail. Some folks didn't like them, some folks did. Whether or not we like something is different than whether or not that thing is good or bad. I dislike a great many things I'll happily admit are good or even brilliant.
Here are the only two questions that matter when it comes to the new Apple ads:
- Who was the target?
- Did Apple hit that target?
Far as I could tell, Apple was aiming squarely at people for whom computers and computing situations are stressful. People with no idea how to handle their digital photos, videos, presentations, or even purchases. People who want to make an anniversary video or photo book or just have their stuff work.
As much as iOS isn't for geeks, neither are these ads (and neither is Mountain Lion for that matter). They're for the mainstream. They were the Apple Store equivalent of the Midas Muffler guy commercial. And the message was simple -- don't stress over computers or computing tasks, just come to Apple and the Apple Store, and the Mac, and everything will be okay.
If you already know about Apple Stores, if you know the difference between a Genius and a Creative, if you couldn't care less about photo books and long ago set up your perfect Keynote deck, then these ads clearly weren't for you.
Apple already has you. They want everyone else.
Speaking of the Olympics
While NBC's Olympic coverage sounds like a bag of hurt, CTV (Canadian TV) is doing a bang up job, at least on the iPhone app. You can pick your events and stream them right to your iPhone, both live and previously recorded. There are a lot of events I want to watch that don't get a lot of TV coverage, like Judo and fencing. With the CTV Olympics app on iPhone, I simply pick Judo and watch, even on my TV. Yeah, there are ads I can't skip, but the app is free so that's no big deal.
There's no AirPlay in the app itself, but the main AirPlay controls in the Fast App Switcher aren't blocked, so they work, even if the picture is letter boxed and pillar boxed, making it needlessly small).
If NBC is really doing that bad a job, shame on them. Those that embrace the future will inherit it. Cheers to CTV for doing it better.
Now let's get it right.
Speaking of streaming
It's great that Apple's got iTunes in the Cloud music, movies, and TV shows in a lot more countries now. What's not so great is that, while I can stream all of the above to my Apple TV, I can't do the same on the iPhone, iPad, or Mac. I have to download them.
And that sucks, because typically I just want to watch something once, and right away, and not wait for a download and then delete it right after to save space.
Other than licensing restrictions and typical Hollywood myopia, why can't this just work across iOS and iTunes?
Back to business
Keeping it short this week so I can work on something big for tomorrow. And something small. Any guesses?

I am more concerned with why each gentleman in the photo has the same pose. One hand holding a cup of coffee and the other in his pocket.
That photo is amazing.
i just think it's funny that Rene's iMore logo got included with the green screen effects. haha. watch out Rene, your chest is exploding!!!
"Here are the only two questions that matter when it comes to the new Apple ads:
Who was the target?
Did Apple hit that target?"
That really is what it all comes down to, and I think Apple did well (ok, the ad agency did well). These new ads aren't iconic. They won't be remembered a decade or two from now the way the Get A Mac ads were. But are they effective? I think so even though they do nothing for me.

Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
External or outer ear, consisting of:
Pinna or auricle. This is the outside part of the ear.
External auditory canal or tube. This is the tube that connects the outer ear to the inside or middle ear.
Tympanic membrane
(also called the eardrum). The tympanic membrane divides the external ear from the middle ear.
Middle ear (tympanic cavity), consisting of:
Ossicles. These are the three small bones that are connected and transmit the sound waves to the inner ear. The bones are called:
Eustachian tube. A canal that links the middle ear with the back of the nose. The eustachian tube helps to equalize the pressure in the middle ear. Having the same pressure allows for the proper transfer of sound waves. The eustachian tube is lined with mucous, just like the inside of the nose and throat.
Inner ear, consisting of:
Cochlea (contains the nerves for hearing)
Vestibule (contains receptors for balance)
Semicircular canals (contain receptors for balance)
The nose is the organ of smell and is part of the peripheral nervous system. The nose consists of:
External nose. A triangular-shaped projection in the center of the face.
Nostrils. These are two chambers divided by the septum.
Septum. This is made up primarily of cartilage and bone and covered by mucous membranes. The cartilage also gives shape and support to the outer part of the nose.
Nasal passages. Passages that are lined with mucous membranes and tiny hairs (cilia) that help to filter the air.
Sinuses. Four pairs of air-filled cavities that are also lined with mucous membranes.
The throat is a ring-like muscular tube that acts as the passageway for air, food, and liquid. The throat also helps in forming speech. The throat consists of:
Larynx. This houses the vocal cords and is crucial to speech and breathing. The larynx also serves as a passageway to the trachea (windpipe to the lung).
Epiglottis. This is located above the larynx and works with the larynx and vocal cords to push the food into the esophagus, therefore keeping food from entering the windpipe.
Tonsils and adenoids. These are made up of lymph tissue and are located at the back and sides of the mouth. They protect against infection, but generally have little purpose beyond childhood.

Mr. Pounds goes to WashingtonWritten by Tom Pounds | President / Publisher | firstname.lastname@example.com
It was great to spend a recent few days back in the nation's capital. It had been a few years since I last visited Washington, D.C. I was there to support the more than 20,000 people who live with multiple sclerosis (MS). We were there to push legislation that would support people with MS and other afflictions that cause immobility. (Please show your support and come to the Toledo Walk MS on March 30 at the University of Toledo's Health Education Building.)
This was also an opportunity to visit my sister, Virginia, who has worked on the Hill since graduating college 30 years ago. She is a great resource for behind-the-scenes tours and this year she showed us the Capitol. My fiancée, Liljana, had never been to D.C. so that was an added bonus, as we listened to some amazing stories from our country's history.
The best part of the trip, especially since my son Austin is in the Army, was a visit to Arlington National Cemetery. I have a grandfather who is buried there and it's an amazing place. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the John F. Kennedy grave site are both moving things to see.
We explored some of the Smithsonian museums and that was a treat. The National Air and Space Museum was the best experience, with the Spirit of St. Louis hanging there as well as the Apollo 11 capsule that carried my hometown hero, Buzz Aldrin, who was the second man to step foot on the moon.
The other sites we were able to see on our brief visit included the Lincoln Memorial, the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Korean War Veterans National Monument.
All in all there is no place like it on Earth. Even with the discord in Washington today, it is always an honor to be in the nation's capital to see firsthand the history and legacy that shapes and guides our country.
Thomas F. Pounds is president and publisher of Toledo Free Press. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

how it's made: beaded bracelets
Bawa La Tumaini in Kenya, which translates to 'Wing of Hope' in English, is a Fair-Trade company which finances the purchase of raw materials, pays creative women and men fair wages to produce products such as baskets and jewelry, and provides links to global markets to sell their handicrafts.
Produced by a group of 15 women and men, in one of the Nairobi's informal settlements, they specialize in making handicrafts based on Maasai bead jewellry—necklaces, wrist bands, friendship bands, and anklets.
Their main market has been through local sales in Nairobi but unfortunately, they have not been sustainable—in this African setting the nuclear family supports the extended family.
Different age groups wear different styles, designs and colors of beaded pieces—but women decide the styles to create. This limited quantity purchase will translate into colorful gifts that give on in the way of access to healthcare facilities, food and clean drinking water.

Sugo is usually made with guanciale, unsmoked pork jowl, but I wanted to see what would happen if I used any smoked pork, plus a fresh cut. The results were mighty good. The fresh cuts, especially the ones with skin, gave some nice body to the sauce. The smoked parts added depth. More

This is finger-licking good. When the shells are perfectly thin crisp and the innards are ripe for the eating, the balance between the two is pretty wonderful. More
Bacon and liver make a good pairing. The bacon keeps the liver from overcooking or breaking off into chunks on the grill, much in the way you'd wrap an organ or a piece of meat in caul fat to keep it together. More
Beef tripe, stir-fried with chili bean paste and a touch of soy sauce. Add ginger, scallions, garlic. The slices will soak up the flavors and seasonings, all the while retaining their crispy edges. Serve with rice. More

Never Know A Thing.Tuesday, October 02 2012
Liz tells Jason the truth about the DNA, Sam stops things from going far with John, and Connie drops a bombshell at the wedding.
At the Haunted Star the wedding is about to begin. Michael is nervous about his speech but Starr encourages him. Olivia tries to convince Steve and Dante that Kate is now Connie, but they stop her from telling Sonny. She overhears Steve tell Dante that she may need treatment at Shadybrook. Meanwhile, Max and Milo assure Sonny there will be no disruptions. Alexis calls Kristina but it goes right to voicemail.
Lulu walks in on Johnny grabbing Connie in her dressing room. Connie covers that she just wants things to be perfect. Lulu and Johnny leave and Lulu comments that Kate is back to her old self. Alone, Connie finishes getting ready.
Joe Jr. kidnaps Kristina and takes her to the coffee warehouse. He forces her to call Alexis and apologize for not coming to the wedding. He reveals himself as Trey's dad and she loses it. They scream at each other. He tells her Sonny made a big mistake when he didn't kill him and this will all be over before Sonny even says I do. She tells him to call for the ransom but he does not want that. He wants the money, power, reputation – everything Sonny stole he wants back and he will get it as soon as she is dead. When she dies, her husband will inherit everything and Trey will never know a thing.
Back at the wedding, Alexis tells Sonny that Kristina is not coming because of a fight with Trey. They both are hoping for an annulment. Johnny rejoins the party and Carly wonders what is going on with him. Maxie asks Ellie about her date with Spin. Ellie has tons of compliments for Maxie and Maxie can't hate her because she is too nice. Dante tells Lulu about Olivia's suspicions and she tells him about the encounter she saw between Kate and Johnny. Sonny tells Alexis he thinks the shock of finding out about Trey will send Kate into a relapse, which is why he wants to wait until after they are married to tell her. Trey arrives and is surprised Kristina is not there. Michael grills him about their fight. Starr stops Michael and they let Trey go. He runs into Connie on his way out. Maxie cues the music and they all rise for Kate's entrance. She walks down the aisle to a beaming Sonny. The reverend begins the ceremony. He asks if anyone knows any reason they not get married. Olivia tries to tell them about Connie but Steve yells out that Olivia is not feeling well and she backs off. They move on but then Milo jumps up to object. Max tells him Milo just got caught up in the excitement of the day. They proceed, until Connie objects. She tells Sonny she can't marry him. She is already married – to Johnny!
Liz stops Jason from leaving the penthouse and tells him there is something he needs to know about Sam's baby. She changed the DNA results. She hands over the real ones - Sam's baby is still alive. He can't understand why she lied. She tells him that Sam watched while Jake was kidnapped and didn't say a word. She has tried to put that behind her, but if it had not been what Sam did maybe Jake's life would have turned out differently. She realizes that she has slowly been losing her mind ever since they lost Jake. He knows what it is like to make a mistake. She asks him to be kind to the mother who has the baby and he asks her not to say anything yet.
Sam and McBain kiss at Alexis' house and things get intense. She pulls back and tells him if they don't stop now they won't be able to. They are both hurt and angry and if this is where they are heading then what they have is not going anywhere. Suddenly Trey pounds on the door looking for Kristina. McBain and her agree the day has been strange but not all bad. He leaves. Outside, Jason calls and tells John he needs to see him. Later, Liz shows up and tells Sam that what she overheard was a lie. She wanted Sam to believe she was with Jason but he told her they would never have a future. Divorced or not, he still belongs to Sam.
Back at his apartment Trey finds Kristina's bracelet on the ground outside. He frantically looks for her and thinks about his father's obsession with his marriage. He searches for Joe.
John meets Jason at the penthouse and hands over the real DNA results. Sam's baby is alive and living with Tea. John hurts for Tea. Jason just wants Sam to have her son back.
Tomorrow's Port Charles spoilers for General Hospital:
Jason tells John, "We need to get Sam's permission to exhume the body."
Liz tells Sam, "You need to hear this and I am not leaving until you do."
Sonny tells Connie, "You really want me to believe you married to that son of a bitch?" She replies, "Yeah."
Carly tells Johnny, "You need to stop this and tell us all that she is making this up."
Joe Jr. cocks his gun as Trey rushes into the warehouse and cries out, "Dad, what are you doing?"

Former North Augusta assistant principal Stephen Coke Eubanks, who was convicted in 2010 of child molestation, was denied parole on Wednesday.
Over the course of three decades, from 1976 to 1995, Eubanks abused teenage boys and girls while he was working within the local education system, officials said.
At the hearing, which statute requires, Eubanks pleaded to be released as he "could never do anything like that again."
When asked why he had committed the crimes, Eubanks replied "ignorance and indiscretion."
According to court testimony, Eubanks made juveniles perform various sex acts with him and took some to interstate rest areas where he made them engage in sexual activity with other unidentified men.
"I feel it's taken away my life and has not only devastated me, but my family," he said. "I realize now that I could never do anything like that again. Seeing what it has done with the family and the community, no way I could go back to doing that."
The panel also heard from a representative of the victims, who plainly stated their case.
"I'm against parole," the representative said. "I feel that he has not had enough time in (prison)."
The board agreed and quickly denied parole due to the seriousness of Eubanks' crimes.
Eubanks is set to complete his 10-year sentence in 2015, according to Peter A. O'Boyle, director of public information for S.C. Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services. His release date, without parole, is estimated to be March 26, 2015, according to the S.C. Department of Corrections.
The hearing was conducted via teleconference, with Eubanks appearing on his own. Other parole-eligible offenders appeared with supporters by their side.
Since being convicted on the child molestation charges, Eubanks has worked in chaplain's office at MacDougall Correctional Institution where he is housed, for two years.
At the hearing, he presented this work, his attendance at "every church service" and his working "with people who have problems with literacy" as evidence that he has been rehabilitated.
According to court documents, Eubanks was accused of having sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old boy at the former educator's Belair Road home between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 1993.
Other allegations included that he watched pornography and engaged in masturbation and oral sex after plying teenagers with alcohol and drugs.
Charges also stemmed from abuse he inflicted on a North Augusta High School student and a Paul Knox Junior High School student in the 1970s.

Improve It Stand in the middle of a resistance tube, feet hip-width apart, elbows bent, holding one end in each hand at shoulder height. Press your arms overhead as you lift right knee to hip level; lower knee then arms to starting position. That's one rep. Do 15 with each leg.
Test Your: Total-Body Mobility and Stability
Use masking tape to mark a straight line on the floor. Stand with your feet together on the tape, holding a broomstick vertically behind your back, one hand holding it behind your head, the other grabbing it behind your hips. Lunge forward with your right foot directly in front of left on the tape, until your right knee is bent 90 degrees and your left knee nearly touches the floor. Repeat on the other side. Your torso should not lean in any direction. Your knee should not collapse inward or pushes out to the side.The stick should stay in contact with your butt, back, and head at all times.
Improve It Kneel on your right knee holding a, 8- to 10-pound dumbbell horizontally in both hands, arms extended in front of your chest. Keeping your arms straight and your torso facing forward, raise the weight up and to the left (a). Then, lower it diagonally across your body to your right hip (b). That's one rep. Do 10 on each side.
Test Your: Strength and Coordination Between Your Shoulders, Back, and Hips Lie facedown on the floor, with palms under shoulders, elbows bent by sides. Push your body up in one solid movement until you're in a pushup position. You should be able to raise your body in one unit and not roll up or sway from side to side.
Improve It Start in a plank position with your forearms on the floor, elbows under shoulders, back flat (a). Brace your core by contracting your abs. Hold for 30 seconds, then lower to the floor. Rotate to the left, resting your weight on your right elbow and forearm, with hips and legs stacked (b). Hold 30 seconds. Repeat on the other side.

Just got back home after way too much time on the road. One of the problems I encountered in transit was inability to access my home system via VPN - or any other method, for that matter.
When I got back, I reset the router - unplug, wait fifteen seconds, replug - and all seems well. But this is getting to be a regular event - the router, I mean, not the road trip . It's happening four (4)-five (5) times a month, seemingly on an upward curve .
'Twould seem advantageous to replace the router, a LinkSys (Cisco) WRT-400n dual-band unit with both bands always active. Since the router is less than a year old, I'm not too confident of my router-picking abilities.
So I'm soliciting opinions on the various pieces of hardware on the market. I'd like to maintain the 2.4/5 G capability, if possible. Don't wanna spend too big a bundle, but price won't be the primary deciding factor. I'm on a cable modem, and I suspect there is dirty cable input from things that have shown on the TVs. I also may have dirty AC, but that'll soon be alleviated with another UPS. Oh, yeah, at least four (4) RJ45 connections, and wireless a must.
Any thoughts ... or experiences?

based on the current license at the bottom of the http://www.nettiers.com/ page the license is GPL .
since my English isn't that good - can someone tell me in simple words what does that mean ?
does it apply to the template only or to the generated code as well ?
if i make changes to the template for use with my commercial product do i need to publish my generated code ? all my code? what if my generated code references a class library that i wrote does that become GPL also ?
I just added a licensing page on the wiki that points to this thread.Thanks-Blake Niemyjski

Just to be quite clear on this issue (I'm not a lawyer either...). We would never invoke the LGPL on anyone, it is merely there to preserve the templates from being ripped off and labeled under a different name. We encourage people to use it and customize it. We like to hear your feedback and want community contribution as there are many hard working people hours in these templates.
This includes the generated code being free from any license regardless of what the GPL or LGPL states. And since the various authors and myself (community lead) believe this. I wouldn't worry about the ramifications of licensing as the only thing we care about is having our work ripped off and sold under a different name. That being said this thread is as good as written document in a court room and can be printed and stored in your company safe as proof that we would never come after anyone unless you renamed the templates and sold them
-Blake Niemyjski
It's a pity nobody has bothered to respond. While I realise that logicaly the generated code is not covered by the LGPL license it would be good for there to be a clear statement on this.
Here is a link and another I found on this. Their is a post somewhere on the community site that details it.
My understanding is that the templates and its output are completely free for all usages of the templates ( commercial included ). However you can't redistribute the templates period (external site or under a different name).
i make changes to the template for use with my commercial product do i
need to publish my generated code ? all my code?"
"what if my generated
code references a class library that i wrote does that become GPL also ?"
I may be wrong. If I am someone please correct me. However as long as you don't sell the .netTiers templates or redistribute the templates under a different name, you should have nothing to worry about :).
Thanks-Blake Niemyjski
Also, Hibernate has a good write up about this. It is covered under the same license.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Member of the .NetTiers team | Visit http://www.nettiers.com----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm afraid that the Hibernate LGPL write up is not quite the same because there is a fundamental difference between .netTiers and NHibernate/Hibernate. The License FAQ describes the nature of the LGPL because with Hibernate one links to the Hibernate libraries:
"The LGPL places copyleft
restrictions on the program itself but does not apply these
restrictions to other software that merely links with the program.
There are, however, certain other restrictions on this software." (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Lesser_General_Public_License)
However with .netTiers template generated code there is no linking to the LGPL templates, just the output of the templates, which just so happens to be more code (it code be any text). The generated code itself does not have any copyright restrictions applied to it. The point I was making is that it is surprising that there is no clear statement on this to be found in the .netTiers documentation (at least that I could find).
Their really hasn't ever been that much information on this topic. We should get this added to the wiki. If you have experience with the LGPL would you mind writing up something for the wiki?Thanks-Blake Niemyjski
Well, I am no lawyer, and I don't know any. I try and avoid them as much as possible lol.
I can't imagine for the life of me this being an issue. The "Templates" are covered under the LGPL. The generated code since it is generated from a proprietary data model that is protected under intellectual rights, I can't imagine that being contstrained at all by the LGPL.
If a professional photographer used Paint.Net to modify a photo that might be worth thousands of dollars, does that picture now have no copyright and need to be made public since it was modified by something that is Open Source??? I don't think so.
The LGPL is there for people that want to "Extend" the open source portions of a project and helps protect that piece to being open source. Someone can't come in and change nettiers and release it under some other name without permission. Again, this applies only to the templates.
**this is the opinion of a programmer and in no way implies that I am correct lol.
Yes, I am no lawyer either but my experience is that the LGPL was created to specifically allow 3rd-party linking without having your code tainted by the license (what people call a viral action) when using Dynamic Linking. It was created to allow commercial application to be written against the GNU LibC Library and thus improve the ecosystem.
Notes to take into consideration:
Now, where this could get shady without consulting a lawyer:
NOTE: I would have editied my previous post but got an error so have added this as a new post
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and this post is made with only my limited
understanding of the GNU GPL & LGPL Licenses. The scope of this investigation was into the output of the netTiers templates and not a code analysis. Legal advise should
always be from a fully qualified professional
netTiers License Investigation
According to the FSF, any output from a L/GPL application is not covered by the L/GPL license unless substantial parts of the output are copied from the text in the program. This is true in the case of netTiers as it's templates are copied directly to the output.
This situation has happened before with the GNU Bison parser. This program output a parser that contained a verbatim copy of sizeable pieces of the yyparse funcation. The authors added an exception to the output to allow proprietory use of this outputted code.
The netTiers team can do the same by adding and adjusting the following clause to all the templates:
//// This file is covered under the GNU Lesser General License (LGPL) v2.1 or later// This license is available at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html//// As a special exception, when this file is copied into a netTiers output file// you may use that output file without restriction. This special exception was // added by the netTiers team in version xxx of netTiers and applies to all // previous releases of the netTiers templates//
By adding this clause it still enables the applying of the LGPL license to the entire netTiers templates and also allowing generated code to be used in commerical applications without requiring those applications to become covered under LGPL license restrictions.
Further recommended Changes
I hope this clarifies that current situation and also put a remedy in place to answer any concerns that people may have with the netTiers template system.
Is there any possibility for you to zip templates and sell
them for example 100$ that we can buy .nettiers to have commercial license?
I'm not sure what a commercial license has anything to do with the code that is generated. This is something I wouldn't worry about at all.. We are a ISV and have stated a million times that the templates are to be used freely for what ever purpose including commercial. The only reason the license is on there is
We want people to use the templates. For the super paranoid people, I would add a text file to the root of your source code project saying the following. "The .netTiers team is the best, we used the .netTiers templates which can be found here (nettiers.com) because it helped us save valuable time and they gave us complete permission to use this in a commercial application or (insert random term here) application http://community.codesmithtools.com/forums/t/4985.aspx).
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Internet, calendar expected to create intense holiday shipping seasonThe Associated Press | October 27,2013AP Photo
A United Parcel Service driver unloads packages from a truck and arranges them for delivery in New YorkCity. UPS will hire 55,000 U.S. seasonal workers to help with an expected increase in volume over the 2013 holiday shopping season.ATLANTA United Parcel Service expects this holiday season to be busier than last, thanks to the growing popularity of online shopping. And more intense, thanks to the calendar.
The worlds biggest package delivery company said it foresees peak season daily volume rising 8 percent this year.
UPS, based in Atlanta, predicts that it will pick up more than 34 million packages on the busiest day, Monday, Dec. 16. UPS predicts deliveries will peak at 29 million the next day.
The company plans to hire 55,000 U.S. seasonal employees to work as drivers, helpers, package sorters, loaders and unloaders. Thats the same number as last year, but this years group may feel a lot busier.
Besides the increased volume, there are just 26 shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, six fewer than last year, making it the most compressed holiday shopping season since 2002.
UPS expects that Cyber Monday on Dec. 2 will see a 10 percent increase in pickup volume, surpassing 32 million packages.
UPS smaller rival, FedEx, said it expects Dec. 2 to be its busiest day of the holiday season. FedEx expects to carry more than 22 million shipments that day. FedEx expects to hire slightly more than the 20,000 seasonal workers that it added last year.
The National Retail Federation predicts that retail sales in November and December will rise 3.9 percent over last year to $602 million $738 per shopper. It expects online sales to rise by 13 percent to 15 percent.MORE IN National / World BusinessNike came out with a new product last Tuesday, an updated and for my feet more comfortable...

Grant & I have stumbled across another NZ science blog, planktonandphilosophy (well, he did the stumbling & then pointed me there). We both particularly liked the excellent post on misreporting of statistics on armed bank robberies: if you took the headlines at face value, the number of armed heists soared last year. But this post looks at the actual data & discovers…. drumroll…. that they've dropped. Go over there & read the whole story :)

the culture
I think it's about time we stop buying the gossip magazines, and look at real news and real things. We never celebrate the life of hero, but if there is a murderer there are so much support opens up right away. Culture which celebrates wrong thing, which understands terrorists, which supports murderers but does nothing for victims that is the culture that will allow those law suits.

The Hatfield McCoy Convention and Visitors Bureau hosted a reception to give applicants for the Matching Advertising Partnership Program (MAPP) an opportunity to meet with several southern West Virginia legislators before the upcoming legislative session begins.
Representatives from Lincoln, Logan, Boone and Mingo Counties who attended the reception included Sen. Art Kirkendoll, Josh Stowers, Justin Marcum, Jeff Eldridge and Danny Godby.
MAPP is funded by video lottery revenues and is a dollar for dollar match with private industry. Since gaming was legalized in Ohio, Maryland and Pennsylvania, lottery revenues have decreased by $2.8 million, meaning funds are not available for many private sector entities wishing to promote tourism in West Virginia.
The legislature acted in 2008 to require $4.7 million annually reserved from MAPP to fund the Courtesy Patrol. MAPP applicants are asking legislators to consider restoring the $4.7 million to MAPP. The applicants include Boone County Community, Economic Development and Tourism Corp., Lincoln County Fairs and Festivals, Inc., Hatfield McCoy Regional Recreation Authority, Hatfield McCoy Convention and Visitors Bureau, The Aracoma Story and the Tug Valley Chamber of Commerce.
Hatfield McCoy Trails Executive Director Jeffrey T. Lusk says this area needs that money back and more.
"As the interest in the trails has grown, interest in the feud has grown and as folks are going for more heritage tourism, the relevance of southern West Virginia as a tourism destination has grown. It has become something to help hold up our economy." said Lusk, "We need a new Bill presented when the legislative session starts to find some ancillary money to flow into this program. The Courtesy Patrol is a great thing and should be kept, but we need to fully fund this program. It's not only beneficial to us, it's beneficial to the entire state."
West Virginia University Agent Bill Richardson added his experience with a website he created three years ago.
"I created a website called hatfieldmccoycountry.com. I got a MAPP grant that paid 75 percent of the cost. That website gets 100,000 hits a day. It is the primary site to tell people how to get here. If you search the internet for Hatfield McCoy, this site and the trails site are the first to come up. MAPP grants have supported both of these sites. We just did a two-page advertisement in a travel guide that cost $14,000. Without the MAPP grant, we could never have afforded that," said Richardson
The annual number of Hatfield McCoy Trail riders has increased from selling 5,000 permits to 35,000 since they opened in 2000. Lusk told the group 81 percent of the riders were overnight visitors from out of state.
Reports by the West Virginia Hospitality and Travel Association show annual tourism revenues are $4.3 billion; it involves over 1,400 small businesses, 44,000 jobs and $582 million in state and local taxes is generated, a 98 percent increase over the past ten years.
"These numbers come from a report by AECOM commissioned by the governor and approved by the W.Va. Legislature," said West Virginia Hospitality and Travel Association Executive Director Carol Fulks, "They are 2010 numbers and they don't include restaurants or gas stations. They are pure tourism dollars."
The representatives all expressed their support for the tourism industry and recognized all the time and effort that goes into its continued progress.
"What helps the elected officials here are a lot of auxiliary programs, people who work at the many agencies, volunteers and business people who serve on boards and give of their resources and time — it doesn't get any better than that, said Sen. Kirkendoll, " I think we can make Logan County and southern West Virginia the best it can be."
The legislative session begins on February 14.

As any left-handed friend will tell you, it is difficult to find a good pen for everyday writing. Ink drying time is an issue. Smearing is an issue. Smoothness is an issue. Fortunately, there are certain pens and inks that are ideal for lefties to use!
Lefty-friendly ink is quick-drying, which helps minimalize smearing as your hand moves across the page and thus allows you to keep your hands and pages clean. Even gel pens, which are normally a challenge due to slow drying time, can become a lefty's new go-to tool!

It's great that you are planning to take your toddler with you on your next flight. We would like to prepare you as well as possible for your time on board with us with these important tips and information:
- No special safety measures are necessary for children and toddlers weighing more than 18 kg. However they should remain strapped in for the entire flight.
- For smaller children up to the age of seven, you may take a child restraint system with you. We have put together comprehensive information on these for you.
- The pram or pushchair need not necessarily be checked in as baggage; at most airports, such as at Frankfurt and Munich, for example, it can be used right up to the aircraft door. One of our employees will take it from you before you board the aircraft and return it to you after landing. Please ask a member of our ground crew before checking in your baggage whether it is possible for you to take your child's pram or pushchair right up to the aircraft.
- If your child has a cold, give him or her nose drops to help equalize the air pressure. The best time to do this is half an hour before take-off and half an hour after landing.
- Pack a little treat for the journey. Of course we always have titbits on board our aircraft for our smallest passengers, but nothing can replace a child's favourite chocolate bar or snack!
- The different climatic conditions at the place of departure, on board (air conditioning) and at your destination can best be balanced by the so-called 'onion look'. Dress your child in several layers of clothing that can then be taken off or put back on as necessary.
- Please don't forget thick socks. As your children's feet might swell a little at high altitude, we recommend that you remove their shoes on board.
- Meals that are suitable for children (from 2 years of age) have to be ordered separately when you book your flight. We have put together some information about this for you: children's menus on board.
Fun and games for little ones
Keeping our young passengers entertained is very close to our hearts; that is why there is also an extensive entertainment programme for children and infants on board. You can read more about entertainment for older children and teenagers here.
The crew hands out super children's toys — colouring books, puzzles, etc. — to our youngest passengers on all routes. There is entertainment suitable for children, such as specially selected documentaries, children's films, radio plays and much more, in our in-flight entertainment programme. As a parent, you also have the option of blocking all other channels to your children (parental lock function — ask the crew about it!). On a number of our long-haul aircraft (on several Airbus A330s and on all A380s and B747-8is) children can observe the aircraft up close from the pilot's viewpoint during take-off and landing via the external cameras.
When children take their first flight with Lufthansa, they receive our Lufthansa logbook on board to collect and record their flights. When the logbook is full, they receive a fantastic pilot's certificate. Children can find all the information about the logbook on the 'My logbook' page.
We also have JetFriends, our Miles & More Club for kids and teens. Here children large and small can find fascinating topics related to flying, travel and Lufthansa and they also enjoy fantastic benefits. Further information can be found on the 'JetFriends – Club for kids & teens' page.
In First and Business Class on long-haul flights from Germany an Amenity Kit awaits our young passengers. It contains surprises such as children's toothbrushes, ear plugs, ABS socks and toys.
Honoured with Gold!
Lufthansa has won Gold in the TravelPlus Airline Amenity Bag Awards 2014 for the third time! The award went to the popular 'reversible bag' for children in First and Business Class.
Designed in colourful blue and yellow, the kit is crammed full of little amenities for young children, including ankle socks, colouring books, games, a few sweet treats, toothbrush, toothpaste, lip balm and a sleep mask.
Games during the flight
We have put together some ideas for games in a PDF that you can print out and take along on your flight so that our young passengers can enjoy a variety of activities during the flight.

Thank you all for your widely varied responses to this thread. Wow. Just when I thought that a technical thread would draw a rapt audience.....
Special Thanks to Tanvil for his inclusion of the e-book on Strawbale construction. I have read this in the past, and found it to be a very worthy guide to building with bales. We should all treat this as the detailed guide, and I will focus on the poor mans methods.
So, on to the thread subject:
Chapter 1: Strawbale construction.
I am going to skip most of the past experience, and concentrate on the fundamentals of building a very low cost strawbale domicile that will probably outlast three generations.
For simplicity sake, I am going to confine the building type to a simple loadbearing design, where the roof structure bears directly on the bales that comprise the wall structure. With that in mind....
There are many types of foundation that are suitable for strawbale structures. For our purposes, the foundation needs to provide the following:
1. It needs to carry the load of the structure like any other foundation.
2. It needs to be cheap, and easily constructed without a great deal of skill.
3. It needs to elevate the structure at least 6 inches above grade.
4. It needs to incorporate the ability to have "tie-downs" run through it that strap the completed strawbale wall to the foundation.
5. It needs to be suitable for the building site, and it needs to shed water, not retain it.
Given these needs, I have focused on a centuries old method that has been used even by noted architects like Frank Lloyd Wright. This method is called "Rubble-Trench".
A Rubble-Trench foundation is simply a trench, between 2-6 feet deep depending on soil and grade, and environmental factors such as annual precipitation and temperature. The Rubble-Trench should end up being 25-50% wider than the finished wall that will sit on top of it. The width of the Rubble-Trench is determined by factors such as soil composition, shear resistance, seismic activity, and wind load.
Practical example of a Rubble-Trench foundation
Location: Grass Valley, California.
Structure: Ranch House.
Grade: 6-12% incline.
Soil: Silt and sand
Average Temp: 68f
Low Temp: 21f
High Temp: 110f
Annual Precipitation: 8-10 inches
Average wind: 4-12 mph.
This project was both my first Strawbale, and my first Rubble-Trench foundation. According to the best information I had, the composition of the rubble trench is based on all of the above factors. So, my design started with the dimensions of the strawbales that we intended to use. These measured roughly 16-17 inches high x 23-24 inches wide by 42-47 inches long, weighing about 75 pounds each. Since the bales were being sourced from a family friend of the property owner, we were able to ask a number of important questions before the straw was ever baled. We learned that the bale machine operator (a contractor) had a great deal of control over the end size and density of the finished bales. We also learned that we had a lot of choices available for the tie material as well. An extra $100 for our choice of tie material, and an extra $300 to the bale machine operator and crew provided us with very tight, very uniform, and very heavy bales of rice straw.
For the purposes of design, and getting the local building inspector to relax, we made the trenches 38 inches wide, and a minimum of 48 inches deep. Since the building site had a significant grade, we decided to top the rubble-trench with standard reinforced concrete caps, poured in place, and anchored to the rubble with long rebar j-bolts, tied into the rebar reinforcing in the caps.
We began filling the trenches with 1-1.5 inch river rock, poured over drainage fabric which extended all the way up to the top of the trench, this layer was filled to a depth of one foot. The next two feet were comprised of a mixture of large (6-10" stones, broken concrete, "rubble", etc.) infilled with sand-gravel to lock the rubble in place. A 4 inch deep bed of the sand-gravel was poured over the river rock and tamped / vibrated to allow it to settle into the first layer. Once the trenches were filled to within 6 inches of grade, the forms for the concrete cap were built, and the cap poured. The finished product created a 36" wide footing for the strawbale walls to rest on.
Next, we will discuss an important set of concepts:
1. Pre vs. Post Apocalypse construction.
2. Permitted vs. Non-Permitted construction.
3. Good Enough vs. built to last construction.
We can condense these concepts into When to build the structure.
Pre Apocalypse, Permitted, Built to last construction is what you essentially have to do now, while there are laws in play.
Post Apocalypse, Non-Permitted, Good Enough construction is what you do when there is no law in play.
I will short hand these into the following:
1. Permitted
2. Not-Permitted
Stay tuned for the rest:
