Review + Giveaway: RF3 LIVE Natural Wood Stereo Earphones
If you're looking for a stylish pair of headphones without a hefty price tag - the RF3 LIVE natural wood stereo earphones may be worth taking a second look at. Everything from the design of the actual earbuds down to the elegant packaging makes these headphones stand out from a lot of others in the same price range. But what about the most important feature of a good pair of headphones? Sound quality. Follow along to see how we felt they performed.
When it came to sound quality I thought the RF3 headphones held up extremely well for the price. The headphones themselves are noise isolating and come with a few different sets of tips for a better fit. They were rather comfortable to wear but I wouldn't suggest them as the best option for athletes or runners as I had them fall out of my ears a few times.
The 3.5MM headphone jack has a longer adapter which also allowed me to use them with virtually any case. One quirk I've never really gotten over with my Bose headphones is that the jack is shorter and some cases including bumpers don't like to play nice with them. That isn't the case here.
The headphones also have a built-in mic that you can interact with just like you can default Apple earbuds. This means iPhone 4S users can easily interact with Siri quickly and easily. I tested the mic on several occasions and had no issues with Siri picking up on what I was saying even in a semi-noisy environment.
As far as the acoustics and sound while listening to music, I thought they held their own against many other headphones in the same price range. They even performed better than some more expensive headphones I've used in the past. The only issue I did see was when it came to bass levels. I felt that they were rather shallow. Even with my iPod settings set to enhance the bass they didn't seem to perform near as well as my Bose MIE2i headphones. That is not as fair of a comparison though since they are nowhere near the same price range.
Overall, I'd say they perform well for the price if you want a decent pair of headphones that stand out from the rest without breaking the bank. You can find the RF3 LIVE natural wood headphones in the TiPb accessory store for $34.95.
- Great price for a quality product
- A variety of ear tip pieces included
- Built-in mic works exceptionally well
- Noise cancellation works just as good as most expensive noise isolating headphones
- The sound doesn't distort when at a high level like some lower priced ear buds
- The headphone jack seems to fit well with almost every case I have, bulky or not
- Not great for runners and athletes as the headphones don't offer a very firm and secure fit (or I just have little ears)
- The bass levels seem to be rather shallow compared to other ear buds

iPhone Live, of course.
i'd listen to myself play music and definitely iphone live. i'm a musician and those head phones would be create for sound isolation by the way they look. i'm also a IT consultant so i have to up to par with current technology and this is the place for that sort of info... :-) cheers everyon!!!
Some Foo Fighters of course!
I have some long commutes on the subway and usually enjoy listening to podcasts and other spoken voice-based apps and files, etc. Of course the public transportation is really load so having a good set of headphones with high sound quality and some noise cancellation would be great!

I would let my kids listen to Barney so I could get some sleep. ;-)
Honestly, I would listen to anything I had available on my phone (be it heavy metal, Christmas music or jazz) that way I could drown out my coworkers who yammer on about the most pointless stuff. I understand we work together 40 hours a week, but I cannot tell you how exhausted my ears are from hearing one of them go on and on about her grandchild's poopy diapers or how the grand kids are so cute even when they have the flu...
Mostly Dubstep!-But also Daft Punk, and some Lil Wayne. And tons of YouTube videos.

i'd listen to krautrock
I would listen to podcasts. Especially love "This American Life".
The song that I can't get out of my head right now is Somewhere Only We Know by Keane.
I would use them for my iPad 2 to watch movies or videos. The speakers are ok but I like headphones/earphones when watching movies on my iPad. But I would definitely use to listen to TiPbs podcasts too!!
I would listen to the vast array of music that is out there can't pick just one
i would listen to all of The Summer Set albums
I listen to podcasts of all kinds through my ipod touch while at work. So much so that my current earbuds are nearly worth through to the wire. A set of these beautiful buds would be a god send!

I have tinnitus and need a good pair of hear phone to mass the sound
Those look pretty slick.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I would listen to some good rock tunes on the way to work to get me pumped and ready. Also use them to watch episodes of the Simpsons on my iPhone during my lunch break
I need a new pair of ear buds like this because the standard iPhone buds don't cancel outside noise - I take the subway to work and back every day and it's hard to hear my iPhone with the standard buds!
All my PA school lectures and then if I'm lucky some tunes.
I'd listen to 70's reggae, to keep it all natural.
I would love to rock out to some Reggae!
I would listen to my Ian Rankin audio books with these beauties!

The first headphones we are going to talk about are the Monster Beats by Dr. Dre Studio High Definition Headphones. When you first see the product packages you know you are going to be getting a high quality product, the packaging is absolute stunning. The quality of the headphones themselves is also top-notch, you can see why these headphones are used widely across the globe thanks to their stunning looks, it is usually rare to find a set of headphones that not perform really well but also look great. The actual quality of the headphones is also very good, the headphones have built-in noise cancellation that basically cancels out the surrounding sound so that you are endorse only in the music. This feature of the wireless beats headphones headphones work really well. A slight problem that we and many other people have experienced when using this headphones is the fact that the sound leakage that come from the cheap beats by dre headphones while use is quite loud, for example if you were sitting on a bus then you bet that at least half of the bus will hear your music.Open monster beats by dre headphones, such as foam ear-pad models and several sports designs, are acoustically transparent and enable outside sound being heard with the monster beats studio headphones wearer, however, many from your sound will likely be audible to anyone near to well. They work effectively with portable devices, minus the worry of pulling or damaging thin wires, or getting tangled within them. Sealed models are ideal for private listening, in which you don wish the sound to get heard by others, as well as which means you don annoy others in quiet environments!

And yet, these en masse hearings continue. And though Tucson magistrates now take pleas individually, some questions are still asked of 70 people at a time or of smaller groups of seven at a time.
Erwin Chemerinsky, a constitutional scholar and dean of the University of California-Irvine School of Law, was shocked when the operation of Judge Velasco's court was described to him.
"Seventy individuals in 40 minutes is about 30 seconds per," says Chemerinsky. "I haven't seen it — I don't want to offer any conclusions — but I am skeptical that you can, in 30 seconds, give someone a meaningful hearing."
However, during an interview for this article, District of Arizona Chief Judge John Roll defended the way Streamline cases are handled in the state.
"If I thought that due process suffered," he insists, "I certainly would oppose it. But I don't think that is the situation."
He points out that defendants in Streamline have waived their rights to an individual hearing and to a trial.
"Most of the individuals prefer [Streamline]," he says, "because it means they're going to have their cases resolved speedily."
Therein lies the rub, insist Streamline's disparagers. Defendants have to knowingly and willingly waive their rights. But with Streamline, defendants have little choice. Demanding a trial would mean a month or more in custody awaiting a trial date, far more time than a day or two of time served.
It's no wonder, then, that 99 percent of all Streamline defendants plead guilty. Individual plea hearings or actual trials are rarities.
Roll's rationale for the program doesn't impress Professor Murphy.
"It strikes me as sad," she says, "that the defense of a system that cannot afford to give every person the justice they're entitled is that, 'Well, at least this is faster.'
"That just points to the fundamental problem," she says. "If the system cannot accommodate the volume it seeks . . . without fundamentally compromising the principles that make the system fair to begin with, then . . . something is wrong."
Actually, the Border Patrol would like to double or triple the number of Streamline defendants. And there have been discussions about increasing the total to at least 100 a day in Tucson.
Murphy and others assert that Streamline defendants are not knowingly and intelligently waiving their rights. Similarly, the defendants' Sixth Amendment right to counsel suffers from the Streamline process, they contend.
Indeed, several federal public defenders interviewed express doubts that their Streamline clients are receiving the legal representation they need.
Juan Rocha is one. He's worked in both the Yuma and the Tucson courthouses on Streamline cases, and he says, particularly in Tucson's factory-like churn, he feels helpless to assist Streamline defendants.
"In Tucson, you're basically shepherding people to prison or to deportation proceedings," he says. "Because you're not really doing much for them."
William Fry, federal public defender supervisor in Del Rio, says the number of Streamline defendants in the Texas court fluctuates, from a low of 13 to 20 a day to a high of 80 to 110.
Because his lawyers get to interview their clients only the day before they go in front of a judge, there's little time to research the prosecution's claims against the defendant or to suss out possible citizenship claims.
"The defense lawyer in many ways has to buy a pig in a poke," Fry says. "We have to take at face value what the government says it's got on this guy when we make our decisions. And we only have a day to do it in."
In Tucson and Yuma, defense attorneys have even less time, as they meet Streamline clients on the morning of their hearings. In Tucson, lawyers can consult with their clients one-on-one. In Yuma, federal public defenders may have to address defendants in groups of four to six.
Rocha says he knew of several cases in Yuma in which the Border Patrol had, at one point, U.S. citizens in custody, ready to be presented to the Streamline judge.
Once someone is identified as a citizen, the Streamline charges can be dismissed. But determining citizenship can be complex and time-consuming. In fact, defendants may not be aware that they have a citizenship claim.
And there are other problems that arise when a lawyer doesn't get to spend enough time with a client.
For instance, charges against juveniles, those not competent to stand trial, or others who speak indigenous languages, rather than Spanish or English, are supposed to be dismissed by the prosecutor, according to an understanding between federal attorneys and defense lawyers in Streamline.
Heather Williams, a supervisor in the Tucson public defender's office and one of Streamline's most outspoken critics, says this does not always happen. The very nature of the mass proceedings and the speed with which they occur do not allow defense attorneys time to investigate each case thoroughly.
"We find people who turn out to be juveniles," she says in her office near DeConcini Courthouse. "There's a whole other proceeding that's supposed to happen if somebody's a juvenile in federal court charged with a crime. And we find out after the fact."
Because of the language gap (some defendants even speak indigenous languages such as Mixtec or Olmec), Williams says her office sometimes learns afterward that a client had no idea of what was going on during a Streamline hearing.

WILLIAMSON — The sound of thunder is predicted to be heard rumbling within the City of Williamson this weekend, as motorcycle enthusiasts flock downtown for the three-day 2013 "Rally in the Valley" event.
The Appalachian Brotherhood Riding Club, of Sidney, Ky., are the proud founders of the annual event that made its debut this year and according to the Public Relations officer for the club, Paul Price, the 2013 event will be bigger and better with more to offer those in attendance.
"We're anticipating a large crowd this year and we've been planning and organizing events for the rally that are sure to please motorcycle enthusiasts of all ages," stated Price. "We want to invite everyone from near and far to come to Williamson and be a part of the 2013 Rally in the Valley."
The rally will open with a motorcycle ride planned to begin at 1 p.m. Friday, with sign-up starting at noon at the Sycamore Inn on 2nd Avenue in Williamson. Those participating will be treated to a back roads, country setting that will take them through different locations within the county. The ride is scheduled to conclude at approximately 5 p.m., which is when more than 40 vendors will be set up in preparation to peddle a large variety of wares and food. The official kick-off party begins at 5:30 p.m. at the stage set up at on 1st Avenue and Logan Street. The band "Curmudgeon" will take the stage at 6 p.m. to rock the crowd, with "One in the Chamber" following at 8 p.m.
Saturday morning, the rally vendors will be open for business at 8 a.m. and live bands will begin entertaining the crowd at noon, as local favorite Katie Curry takes the stage. Rena Jones will be performing at 1 p.m., followed by 5th Wheel at 2 p.m., Mountain Station at 3 p.m., Pure Grain at 4 p.m., The Usual Suspects at 5 p.m., Foz Rotten and his Dirty Scoundrels at 6 p.m., Chad Hall and his Route III Band at 7 p.m., and the last group of the evening will be Southern Wind, beginning at 8 p.m.
At 2 p.m. on 1st Avenue (location may change depending on the amount of entries), the Bike Show will take place. At 3 p.m., the biker games are set to begin on 2nd Avenue. The tattoo contest for both males and females will be held at 6 p.m. followed by the "Miss Rally in the Valley" contest at 7 p.m., with a $500 grand prize up for grabs. A central registration booth for all the above listed events will be located in front of the Historical Coal House on 2nd Avenue.
On Sunday, the event will conclude with a "Sheriff Eugene Crum Memorial Poker Run", with all proceeds being donated to the Mingo County Sheriff's Department Memorial Fund that was established in honor of the late-sheriff's dedication to fighting drugs and serving the residents of Mingo County. A $15 fee will be charged for each bike participating. A Sunday morning worship service will be held at 11 a.m. prior to the ride.
"I want to say a very special thank you and express our deepest gratitude to "Team Moore" and the Mingo County Commission for their financial support of the rally," said Price. "Without their help and sponsorship, we would never have been able to pull the event off this year. I also want to thank the Tug Valley Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Natalie Young, for all of her help."
Price stated that he hopes the weather cooperates this year, but added that no biker he knows is afraid of a little water.
"Come on out to the 2013 Rally in the Valley," stated Price. "It's going to be an awesome time for everyone; we're hoping it will be one for the record books!"

- Hochfrequenzsputtern (1) (remove)
- Organic field-effect transistors with high-k dielectric (2011)
- This work deals with the use of dielectrics with high permeability, so-called high-k dielectrics in organic thin-film field-effect transistors (FETs). The central part was the preparation of the high-k dielectric and its implementation in transistors, in which organic semiconductors were used as active layer. A field-effect transistor can be used to measure the charge carrier mobility. Employing high-k dielectrics the carrier concentration in the active layer can be greatly increased. In this way, high charge carrier concentrations in organic layers can be achieved without chemical doping. As high-k dielectric strontium titanate (STO) was selected. It is also available as a niobium-doped and therefore conducting substrate material. Thus, one has an ideal substrate for the growth of the dielectric layer in conjunction with a substrate which acts as gate electrode. As the organic semiconductor the small molecules pentacene and copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) were sublimated, as electrical contacts gold was used. As a key part of this work an ultra high vacuum chamber system was constructed for in situ preparation of field effect transistors. For the deposition of the organic thin films a molecular beam deposition chamber was built, including a manipulator and effusion cells as evaporation sources. For the preparation of the dielectric a sputtering chamber was set-up. Another chamber was used in conjunction with an effusion cell for the deposition of the gold contacts. For the structured deposition of the different layers in the devices a shadow mask system was implemented. Movable masks could be positioned by means of a wobble stick onto the sample carriers. The system thus allowed for the use of masks in all chambers. The different thin films required in the transistor structure were first individually prepared and characterized. For the characterization primarily X-ray diffraction and optical microscopy were used. The growth of pentacene was analyzed on aplha-AlO substrates. With X-ray diffraction the (00l) reflections of the thin film phase were observed. In growth studies of CuPc aplha-AlO and STO substrates were used. With X-ray diffraction the aplha-phase was detected. With increasing substrate temperature an increase in crystallinity, but also an increase in surface roughness was observed. The sputtering of STO as a high-k dielectric was studied and optimized. Simultaneously, a high deposition rate, a smooth film surface and good crystallinity of the layer were required. As the most important parameters the substrate temperature, pressure and sputtering power were identified. Argon and oxygen were employed as sputtering gases, as substrate MgO was used. The films showed in comparison to crystalline STO a distortion to larger lattice constants. The degree of distortion decreased with increasing chamber pressure, on the other hand, deposition rate decreased with increasing chamber pressure as well. By combining the individual deposition processes FETs in bottom-gate geometry were prepared. The first step was always sputtering of the STO dielectric on niobium-doped STO substrates. Subsequently, the electrodes and the organic layer were deposited. For comparison transistors on silicon substrates with silicon dioxide (SiO2) as the dielectric were prepared. To study the transistor properties a measurement setup was build. A dielectric constant of about 190 for the STO in the transistors was achieved. The transistors with CuPc as active layer showed p-type conduction behavior. The transistors with STO as dielectric had a much stronger response than those with SiO2. They reached mobilities of 2E-4 cm2/Vs at very low applied voltages of 3V. It could thus be demonstrated that STO is suitable as a dielectric for organic FETs, and that through the use of high-k dielectrics high charge carrier densities can be achieved.

Midwest Living Review
Biking is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get a sense of the scope, beauty, history and geology of Mackinac Island. Besides, where else can you bike along a state highway (in this case, M-185) that doesn't allow cars?
The 8-mile, approximately 90-minute shoreline loop is the most popular on the island. It passes Arch Rock, miscellaneous cannons (remnants from the fort days) and stunning views of Mackinac Bridge. Riding through the center of the island offers more of a workout, as well as different visual rewards. Pedal the heart-pumping climb to the top of the island to see Skull Cave, the Wawashkamo Golf Course built on a one-time battlefield, and historic cemeteries marked by beautiful angel statues and stone gates.
The Mackinac Island Bike Shop offers rentals for kids and adults starting at $8/hour, as well as self-guided tour maps, itinerary suggestions, water bottles and even rain ponchos.

A video posted by Google shows the name of a new Google Docs feature: Google Punch. A "punch" is a Google Docs filetype, just like a document, a spreadsheet or a presentation.

One of the definitions of the word "punch" is "an iced mixed drink usually containing alcohol and prepared for multiple servings; normally served in a punch bowl". Maybe Google Punch is a free-form document that lets you combine data from other documents, spreadsheets, presentations and forms. What do you think?

MMA Fighter Dies Moments Before Shootos Weigh-Ins in Brazil
Very sad and disturbing. I hope they can identify what went wrong.
Tragedy has struck the Brazilian MMA community.
MMA fighter Leandro "Feijao" Souza (1-1), a member of Nova Uniao and Delfim Cacadores, died on Thursday while cutting weight for Friday's Shoot Brazil 43 card in Rio de Janeiro. Feijao, who was slated to fight Gabriel Brasil (1-1) in flyweight action, was cutting the final pounds for the official weigh-ins when he passed out, and his death was confirmed moments later.
"We are sad to report the death of Leandro Caetano de Souza," Shooto president Andre Pederneiras wrote on his Facebook page. "The athlete has passed away in Botafogos UPA. We dont know the reasons why yet. We would like to express our condolences to all friends and family."
MMAFighting.com confirmed the news with Shooto officials, but there is still no information on the cause of the death.
"He passed out before the weigh-ins and was taken to the hospital," Feijaos teammate Andre Santos posted on his Facebook account today. "I dont know the cause of his death yet."

McFarlane Toys is re-defining our Sports Picks programs. Moving forward, our Sports Picks lines involving current athletes will be identified as year-long programs.
The first lines showcasing the new perspective will be the NFL lines this fall. These football lines were originally called NFL 17,18 and 19. These three series will still ship separately, but we're advertising and promoting them as one large lineup, called Sports Picks: NFL 2008.
By eliminating the series number from the figures, we're removing a perceived barrier from the potential collector (who might have reservations about starting to collect something that's already in its 17th series), and also showcasing the entire season's roster of figures.
The universal packaging for the three "waves" will give all the figures a consistent feel (starting with the first arrivals in early September right through the last shipments in early January), and will keep an early release (for example, Tony Romo from the first wave) from looking different on a peg next to one of the final releases (like Donald Driver from the final wave).
Currently scheduled Sports Picks 2008 figures are as follows:
WAVE 1Willie ParkerBrett Favre (5)Reggie Bush (2)Randy Moss (5)Tony Romo (2)Joseph AddaiJaMarcus RussellWAVE 2Tom Brady (3)DeMarcus WareBrandon JacobsAdrian PetersonDevin HesterLaDainian Tomlinson (6)Ben Roethlisberger (2)WAVE 3Clinton Portis (2)Jay CutlerDonald DriverMarion Barber

FORT WALTON BEACH — An unprecedented $974 million in state funding is headed for Northwest Florida transportation projects, Sen. Don Gaetz announced Thursday.
Gaetz, the Republican from Niceville who is the Senate president, said negotiations he spearheaded to fund 10 new projects in the region ended Thursday morning.
The plan includes setting aside $44.5 million for widening State Roads 123 and 87 and moving their construction dates up, Gaetz said at a meeting at the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce. The projects are now slated to begin in 2015.
More than $600 million also has been set aside to build a new three-mile U.S. Highway 98 bridge between Gulf Breeze and Pensacola, Gaetz said. The long-sought project will be publicly funded and will not require tolls, as some people feared.
Gaetz said the Northwest Florida legislative delegation negotiated with Department of Transportation officials and Gov. Rick Scott to make sure the funds were secure in the state's work plan.
"Not as a hope, not as a maybe, not as a might be, but … we've been able to get the money moved up and we've been able to get the schedule adjusted so that these activities will begin within the next 24 months," Gaetz said.
He said DOT officials told him the $974 million is the largest single transportation initiative for Northwest Florida in history.
It's been a long time coming, Gaetz said.
"Those of us who live in this community have been grinding our teeth for some time," he said. "Right or wrong, we've had the perception that we haven't got our fair share."
Gaetz was named Senate president in November, which may have helped him direct the money to the region. He said DOT officials pay more attention to him now.
The SR 123 and SR 87 projects were already in the DOT pipeline, but until Thursday's agreement funding hadn't been assured, Gaetz said.
"They were in the thinking stage," he said after the meeting. "But now we have a commitment for funding, a commitment that they will be built and an aggressive upgraded timeline."
The SR 123 expansion and improvement project had been planned for 2018 if funds could be secured. The project is now slated to begin in 2015 with $20.6 million set aside for it, Gaetz said.
He said keeping traffic moving between the north and south parts of Okaloosa County has been an increasing priority, especially since the arrival of the Army 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) south of Crestview.
"We know that it's important to have those arteries move seamlessly back and forth," he said.
The state has also set aside $23.9 million to complete the widening of SR 87 in Santa Rosa County to four lanes. The new lanes will run from the boundary of Eglin Air Force Base to two miles south of the Yellow River.
None of the new projects will be tolled, but state Rep. Doug Broxson said people should expect future transportation efforts to include tolls because of funding shortfalls.
"We have done our best to make sure we dodged that bullet on these projects," said Broxson, R-Midway.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, Don Gaetz's son, said the state's decision to invest nearly a billion dollars in Northwest Florida is a testament to the area's importance and success as an economic generator.
"To get these folks to agree to make this kind of investment means you are doing your job," he told the business leaders gathered at the Chamber of Commerce.
He said he believes the $974 million will open the door to the potential for future infrastructure improvements. He said everyone could probably agree that more must be done to ease congestion on U.S. 98 and that opening a pass to the Gulf of Mexico near Navarre Beach would be a boon to the economy there.
"These are things that could also be on the horizon, but know that I think this is an excellent start. It's an excellent opportunity for us, and let's go seize it," the Fort Walton Beach Republican said.
Don Gaetz agreed that the investment will create more opportunities, not only for future infrastructure projects but for the region to continue to grow, draw more businesses and connect Florida to businesses nationwide.
"I am absolutely convinced — and so are our colleagues — that the road to the future of Florida runs right through here," he said.

Christianity cannot be tolerated by totalitarian governments, so it must go.
Quote from: Molly on September 21, 2011, 08:36:38 AMChristianity cannot be tolerated by totalitarian governments, so it must go.Not so sure about that. The cheerful times of witchburnings and crusades qualify as totalitarian goverment for me.Yeah right now Christianity isn't part of any totalitarian regime but that doesn't mean it can't be abused as one.It isn't relgion that chooses a goverment it's a government that chooses religion as a tool to unity, control and oppress.
That's like saying because there are crazy people who do crazy things with guns we should ban guns.
Quote from: Molly on September 21, 2011, 08:49:11 AMThat's like saying because there are crazy people who do crazy things with guns we should ban guns.That's NOT what I was saying Molly.I'm just say religion (all types) are often used to unite people (not that bad) and in more extreme situation abuse religions as a way to control and start wars.I think the prime example of that is dynamite. Alfred Noble invented dynamite for purely peacefull purposes. He was an engineer that wanted better ways to blast rocks for his contruction works (bridges). Needless to say the military found other uses for dynamite.Dynamite was a noble thing (religion) it was good for society. Until general Killalot found other uses for it. (religion used as a tool to raise armies)That's what I said/was trying to say.Same can be said about most things. Ranging from kitchen knives to chainsaws. Even electricity.

Warehouse District thriving, growing after years of effortWritten by Jordan Finney | | firstname.lastname@example.com
"If you don't think Downtown Toledo has sex appeal, then drive around Levis Commons or Easton and ask yourself, 'Aren't they making a pretend Warehouse District?'"
Hugh Grefe, executive director of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, spoke at a May 27 event recognizing May as National Historic Preservation Month. He speaks for a growing Downtown community that has witnessed revitalization in the area's economic and social life over the past few decades.
The Warehouse District grew out of a 19th-century community called Port Lawrence that was founded near the Maumee River. By 1823, it comprised two log warehouses and a few houses at the corner of Monroe and Summit streets, according to the Toledo Warehouse District Association (TWDA).
Today, it boasts more than 700 residents, 60 new businesses and has become the choice location for the future plans of several local giants, including the Toledo Mud Hens and ProMedica.
The Warehouse District encompasses 44 blocks, with its northern border at Monroe Street. More than 40 of its mostly 19th-century buildings have been renovated into new hotspots thanks to the "heart, blood and tears" of the community, according to TWDA President Diane Keil-Hipp.
"When you walk on the same floors as people did 100 years ago, there's something really special about it," Keil-Hipp said.
"We're part of their legacy and we have an obligation to preserve their heritage. Preserving these buildings is like making a greater statement that there is larger context for people's lives."
Keil-Hipp, who works Downtown, said witnessing the renovation of these buildings and the revitalization of business life "has been something really cool to watch."
"The best thing about the Warehouse District is how it happened one by one as individual investors saw opportunities," she said. "That's why it's so sustainable — people are personally invested in these buildings. It's not government just coming in and overhauling everything block by block."
TWDA is an entirely volunteer-based nonprofit that advocates on behalf of its approximately 60 members, who have privately invested in the Warehouse District, either as business owners or residents.
"We're all about resurgence living," said Kathy Steingraber, former TWDA director.
"We're sending a strong message to college graduates: You can have it all here in Downtown Toledo, you don't have to live in New York City."
TWDA collects dues from its members to pay for promotions and websites, Facebook advertising and some neighborhood events.
It also secured a role in the Overlay document that Toledo City Council passed in January, which requires anyone who wants to renovate a building to "run their plans through the architectural review committee for approval," Keil-Hipp said.
"You can't be the suburb of nothing," said architect Paul Sullivan, a member of that review committee. "We've redeveloped Downtown in a methodical, sensitive manner. There's real power in preservation. It's crucial to keep our heritage intact for many reasons, not the least of which is the quality of life we share. There's a meaning to the story we have down here."
Sullivan also said that historic preservation is about sustainability and choosing the "green option." Every time a small Downtown building is demolished, it negates the efforts of recycling 1.34 million aluminum cans.
Keil-Hipp said TWDA's vision since the 1990s for the Warehouse District has in part been to "return to a truly urban neighborhood that encourages a harmonious blend of residential, commercial, retail and service components (and) to create an environment to work, live and visit that is unlike any other.
"When I read that statement today, I think, 'We're here. We really did it,'" she said.
When there were seven
Downtown in 1988, there was no Fifth Third Field or St. Clair Village — or much of anything except a host of vacant buildings in disrepair.
That's when native Toledoan Bob Seyfang bought the Bakery Building, a 1900 construction that his grandfather used to own.
"I came home one day and my wife told me our house was sold and we were moving Downtown. We had 13 weeks," Seyfang said. "But we saw the potential. It was a risk all right, but we knew what we wanted and we just waded into it."
Seyfang and his wife were the sixth and seventh of only seven people living in the Warehouse District in 1989.
Seyfang operated his architectural firm from the Bakery Building's first floor for the next 10 years.
"We had so many economic slowdowns but it didn't matter because our vision was strong and we knew it would happen," Seyfang said. "That's not to say I didn't lose a few night's sleep over this, but it's a slow, evolving thing. When the economy was good, things were good and when it wasn't, things weren't. That's how it goes."
Renovating the Bakery Building was a seven-year project for the Seyfangs, partly because of its "pretty rough shape" and also because the three-story space boasts eight residential units, five commercial units and indoor parking.
"In the '20s and '30s, Downtown was run by numerous CEOs of locally owned businesses. They were benevolent dictators in a lot of ways," Seyfang said. "They loved the city, put roots down here with their families, and could raise $15 million amongst themselves for a project no problem. That's all gone now."
Seyfang stressed the importance of "thinking ahead" if local residents want Toledo's Warehouse District to continue growing.
"Remember what we had in the past, but move forward with it," Seyfang said. "That's what young people are doing. Hopefully every one of them will have the same happy story that we do."
He said Downtown will need to maintain a strong business retention network, encourage its young people to start investing money in the area and consider new construction projects, not just renovation of older buildings.
"We also need to start thinking beyond the Warehouse District because we can't grow this neighborhood forever," Seyfang said. "But we can help other districts by sharing our story. We can also tell them that we've created something unique for Toledo — and they should come and enjoy it."
Living Downtown
Today there are more than 700 people living in the Warehouse District and the number continues to grow. TWDA member Richard Rideout moved to South St. Clair Street nearly 12 years ago and said he is proud to be part of the growing Downtown population.
"People ask me about moving to the suburbs and I break out in hives. Not really, but you know what I mean," Rideout said. "To me it offered a blank slate, an opportunity to do something different. I like the concept of living close to work. I don't want to waste time commuting every day."
When Rideout bought his building, the entire third floor — where he now resides — was totally vacant except for a "collection of dirt, odds and ends, and windows totally covered in plywood." But he doesn't regret the decision at all.
"I love my home and I feel much safer walking around Downtown than Franklin Park Mall," Rideout said. "Keep looking for the Warehouse District to grow at a much more rapid pace than what it's done in the last 10 years. In fact, I'm going to guess our residency will double in the next five to 10 years."
Valerie Garforth said she remembers exactly what the "wasteland" of the Warehouse District was like when she and her husband came to Toledo in 1998.
"Every year since, something wonderful has happened Downtown," she said.
Garforth does not live in the Warehouse District, but owns two apartment units Downtown where she rents about 50 spaces.
"We bought these as investments and they lost value with the economic downturn," Garforth said. "However, they're picking up again and we manage to rent them continuously without vacancies."
A native of Brussels, Garforth said she hopes to see the Warehouse District "take off" the way downtowns in Europe have.
"Brussels is very middle class, a smaller version of Paris really. The apartments are there, restaurants around the corner, supermarkets, parks, an exercise circuit — just everything," Garforth said. "I'm used to the idea that people can live in a close urban environment quite happily together."
Garforth said "a real turnaround" for Downtown would be if the retail stores came back to the area and people with disposable income could shop and have a place to wander around.
"We used to live in Minneapolis where there's a thriving downtown and department stores connected with skyways," Garforth said. "People leave their office buildings for lunch and its like being in a greenhouse. That's my dream for Toledo."
Working Downtown
In less than three decades, the Warehouse District has welcomed 60 new businesses and seen a 111 percent spike in real estate value compared to an average 5 percent increase in real estate value in Lucas County.
Ron Novak, owner of Downtown Latté for four years and a resident of the Warehouse District for eight years, said he really enjoys living and working in the area.
"The biggest difference I've noticed from working Downtown is the diversity of people," Novak said. "I see businesspeople, retirees, families and artists. You don't get that anywhere else in Toledo."
Like Novak, Audrey Ackerman was really impressed by the growth of the Downtown area. Ackerman, who recently opened Floral Pursuit, Downtown's only flower shop, nixed her plans to work from home when she saw a vacant space in St. Clair Village.
"You can definitely see the city opening up and it's crazy to be part of all these people trying to make it grow," Ackerman said. "I've met so many people who are showing that there are things to do here in Toledo. You just have to explore, go out and not be afraid to walk around."
Steingraber, a landlord at St. Clair Village, said she thinks younger people like Novak and Ackerman are the future of the Warehouse District.
"I love all the young people coming in. I try to give them as much support as I possibly can," Steingraber said.
Steingraber helped develop Erie Street Market and Libbey Glass before turning to a section of St. Clair Street.
"We've been 100 percent leased 98 percent of the time. Let me tell you, Downtown Toledo is thriving," Steingraber said.
In addition to the emergent economic recovery story, Downtown businesses have the added advantage of being part of a tight-knit community that has members who invest in each other.
Jules Webster, owner of The Art Supply Dep?, said the Warehouse District has always been a community, but "it's growing leaps and bounds."
"We refer our customers to a lot of businesses close by and they do the same for us," she said. "There's still a lot of available spaces and room for growth. We're all looking forward to see where this goes."
Webster said that the character of her renovated building on South St. Clair Street draws people from around the area to her art store.
"We appreciate the old architecture and tradition instead of the newer construction and strip malls that don't have an inspiring style," Webster said. "I would definitely say it adds to the business. People who come are often willing to travel more than 30 or 45 minutes. They're enchanted by the development of these older buildings."
Mud Hens President and General Manager Joe Napoli said with the flurry of commercial activity, payroll in the Warehouse District averaged about $12 million last year, "up from virtually nothing."
"We're headed in the right direction. Your community gets measured by a lot of aspects, including its urban core," Napoli said. "We're close to that tipping point where this is going to become a very special place to live and work."
Future plans
The Mud Hens' Downtown development project, Hensville, and the relocation of ProMedica's corporate offices to Downtown are "catalyst projects" that will spark a "wildfire of new growth" in the Warehouse District, Steingraber said.
The Mud Hens plan to transform two or three 19th-century buildings on South St. Clair Street that have been vacant for more than 30 years into an entertainment district called Hensville.
"We'll do street festivals, food, music concerts, arts — whatever the community would support," Napoli said. "Hensville's an $18 million to $21 million investment that's part of the entire dynamic of living and working Downtown."
Napoli said Downtown Toledo already attracts 800,000 people to its streets annually and he expects to see an extra 100,000 to 125,000 people visit Downtown once Hensville is fully operational.
"It would be easier and less expensive to knock the buildings down, but Joe [Napoli] is dedicated to preserving the fabric of the neighborhood," said architect Tom Porter, who is working on the Hensville project. "I think too many people just come in and knock buildings down. There are some things you just can't duplicate."
ProMedica agrees with the Mud Hens' philosophy for urban development.
The company is "very serious" about relocating its corporate offices for 700 employees to the old steam plant adjacent to the Key Bank building on Summit Street across from Promenade Park, said Robin Whitney, ProMedica vice president of property acquisition and development.
"The steam building is a historic brick, beautiful structure and we are committed to making this move work," she said. "Anything we can do to promote more people coming Downtown is a great win for our city."
ProMedica's spike in its number of employees over the past few years has forced it to buy and lease several buildings in Toledo, scattering its corporate offices throughout the city.
"We don't feel like it's efficient to be so spread out," Whitney said. "We want to consolidate everyone into one space because if you're working closer to people, then you're more collaborative. Toledo is our community and it's important to have a vibrant Downtown. We want to be part of the revitalization."
ProMedica has not established an official timeline for the move because it depends on its ability to receive historic and new market tax credits. However, its "optimistic timeline" would be to break ground next summer and complete the renovation project in 2016.
"What we're doing is helping revitalize that office component," Whitney said. "Maybe our moving Downtown will spark interest for other companies to want to move their office spaces. Once that happens, Toledo will have all the components of a revitalized Downtown: residential, dining and entertainment, and office and business. That will be a picture of real success."

I haven't played Rage, so I'd happily trade Fear 2 for it...if that's what you meant? I can add some of my own beard trimmings too!
I haven't played Rage, so I'd happily trade Fear 2 for it...if that's what you meant? I can add some of my own beard trimmings too!
Sweet, it's a deal then. I'll sort out addy in the PMs.
Groovy! Will take Fear 2 off the list.
First page of thread fix'd.
Weird offer, sounds skanky but here goes:
I have a bunch of t-shirts I'm throwing out. They're all in very good condition, some worn only once or twice. M-L Men's funnily enough (COS I HAVE BOOBS NEEDED BIGGER SIZES). Most are comic book. Does anyone want them? I don't even need anything in exchange or postage paid for.
I can put pics up maybe. Gotta decide before 6th Jan!
Otherwise I'll hand them in to those clothes places that give you like 60p per KG
Holy wow, that sounds awesome. Whadya got, Handy-Man?
Hmm possibly. I'll put some pics up in next day or so. They might be too big for her but WE'LL SEE.
Most misleading thread title ever.
I don't know whether I should be disappointed or relieved.
Ewwww and gobbling like I said don't mind shipping- clearl Christmas cheer is all up in this glow hoe!
Well, to be fair it is you.
WHERES MY PICS BEAR? God dammit I was kidding about the monkey spanking! Thought I was allowed to be crude down here.... *grumbles and walks away*
Yeah, that coffee shop probably wasn't the best place to whip it out and start jacking it anyway Phil.
I've heard that's frowned upon.
Those are pretty awesome, especially the Alex Ross.
Yeah sadly some are either too big and I've enough lounging about/nightwear tees or others cos they're men's are tight on the bazongas.
I'm confused now because you made that last part sound like a bad thing.
Those are pretty cool.

If you've been considering taking a leap of faith, finding a more stimulating career or embracing an opportunity that may be more challenging, the Aiken Standard Employment Expo's participating companies provide a number of options for prospective employees, including direct hire, temp-to-hire, contract, short-term and long-term positions.

Melvin Guillard has joined American Top Team to prepare for his upcoming bout with Ross Pearson at UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs Munoz at the Phones 4u Arena in Manchester, England.
Earlier this year, Melvin Guillard split with the Blackzilians, hoping to get back to his winning ways. While with the Florida-based camp, Guillard was unable to put together a winning record inside the Octagon, while with his previous home at Jackson's Submission Fighting, he was working towards a lightweight title shot.
He hoped that he'd be welcomed back at Jackson's, but that was unfortunately not the case. Instead, for his bout with Mac Danzig at UFC on Fox: Johnson vs Moraga, he trained in Colorado with Trevor Wittman at the Grudge Training Center.
It appears as if that was only a temporary move as this morning, Hector Lombard posted a photo to his Facebook account announcing that the talented Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight had joined American Top Team (ATT) in Coconut Creek, Florida.

After my post Google is your default search, that reported a new feature in Google Toolbar 4: a monitoring tool that blocks any attempt to replace Google with other search engine in Internet Explorer, but remains loaded even if it is disabled - Google has updated the toolbar. They removed the bug, so the monitoring tool can be disabled and they also changed the wording in the settings:
While Google insists that this feature was added to prevent malware to change the default search engine in the settings, I think Google wanted to counterattack the software from Yahoo or Microsoft that includes the option to change the search engine enabled by default (Google's software also does that). If you download Yahoo Messenger or Windows Live Messenger, and keep the default settings, you'll change the search engine to Yahoo or MSN. But what's so important about the search engine in IE? you'll ask. The major battle of the default search engine is for IE7, a browser that has a search box, unlike the previous versions.
"The main issue is that many users do not have security software that prevents their search settings from being changed without their consent. As more advanced browsers and browser features become available, search settings in IE will become increasingly important. The notifier enhances a user's control over their internet browsing experience. If users want to keep Google as their search setting, we want it to be easy for them to do so," says Benjamin Lewis, Product Manager for Google Toolbar.

Hidden Labels in Gmail
If you enable saving your chat history in Gmail, your conversations from Google Talk are saved as standard emails. To make them stand out from the rest of messages, Gmail adds two labels: chat and chats.
If you want to search your chats, you just have to add label:chat to your query. If you want to search only your mail, exclude the chats by adding -label:chat.
Gmail has many other hidden labels that can make your life easier, so you don't have to use the advanced search:
* label:inbox - search only your Inbox. It's a good idea to keep your Inbox clean.
* label:star (label:starred) - search only your starred messages. You can use the star button like a bookmarking system. Star only important messages.
* label:draft (or label:drafts) - search only unfinished messages. Drafts could be used for storing notes or emails that must be sent later.
* label:sent (or label:sentmail, label:sent-mail, label:sent mail ) - search only sent mail. It may be useful to restrict your search only to messages you've sent, or only to messages you've received if you add a minus.
* label:all (or label:allmail, label:all-mail, label:all mail ) - search all your mail, including messages from Trash (label:trash) and Spam (label:spam).
* label:read and label:unread. Restrict your search only to read mail or unread mail. For example, to find all your sent messages that have unread replies, you can search for label:unread label:sent.
* label:voicemail (or label:voicemails ) - search only the voicemail received from a Google Talk user.
It's nice that you can combine all these labels with user-defined labels in a query. To show results that have both label A and label B, just search for label:A label:B. To show results that have one of the labels A and B or both, just search for label:A OR label:B.
Update: Instead of label:A, you can just type l:A. [Thank you, Busse].

Disney in a Digital World: Disney in 2001--Distributing the Mouse
Robert A. Burgelman; Philip Meza
Price: $6.93
Disney has long been an industry leader in content creation. The company has a successful history of creating both animated and live-action films and television programming as well as multipurposing its content for alternative forms of consumption. Through 2001, Disney has taken the position that compelling content will find distribution. To that end, Disney has avoided large investments in distribution, beyond its purchase of broadcaster ABC. Meanwhile, competitors have been buying expensive distribution assets to ensure their content will have a channel to consumers. Disney faced a challenge to its position on distribution assets when a cable company, owned by Time Warner, dropped ABC programming from its lineup during a critical ratings period called "sweeps week." The case looks at Disney's distribution capabilities in 2001, examines the competitive landscape for content producers, and surveys new distribution technologies.
Learning objective:
To discuss the distribution challenges and opportunities made possible by digitization of content and the convergence of new distribution technologies.
Subjects Covered:
Competition; Distribution planning; Marketing channels
- Geographic:United States
- Industry: Arts, entertainment & sports
- Industry: Telecommunications
- Company Employee Count:120,000
- Company Revenue:$25.4 billion

Laura tries to calm a confused Lulu, Nikolas has an unexpected visitor, and Damian Spinelli visits someone in jail.
Spinelli visits Heather Webber in lock-up asking for help. She wonders why she would do that. He doesn't think it's too much to ask but Heather reminds him delivering a letter was too much to ask his partner Sam. He gives her the update she wants on Luke's life and possible reunion with Tracy. Damian inquires after Franco's daughter figuring she's the only one that could possibly know anything. He asks, "Do you?" He convinces Heather that she can make Tracy less appealing to Luke if Tracy's broke. Heather offers to help if he'll take a letter to Stephen Larrs, but she laughs at her joke. She gets serious asking Spinelli to come closer so she can tell him everything she knows about Lauren Frank.
At GH Felix fusses with Sabrina's hair in the locker room and notes her attitude can only be the result of Britt. He mocks Britt and jokes about her ploy to trap Patrick. He makes her affirm, "Patrick and I are together," and reminds her that Patrick came to her. He thinks there's no time to worry about Britt; it's time to hit the sheets with Dr. Drake. Outside Britt tells Patrick she's decided to have an abortion. He's questions what the deciding factor is after announcing the pregnancy publicly. She says, "You," because he was horrified at the news. Since she grew up without a father she will not put a child through that and believes Patrick is off the hook. He asks, "When are you going to do it?" She tells him not to worry, she'll make the appointment, "Congratulations, you're free." Sabrina sees Patrick when Britt leaves and asks what is wrong. He tells her.
In his room, Nik gets off the phone with Spence when a doctor comes in. She closes all the blinds and asks personal questions about Spencer's name. She claims liking to put her patients' needs first and tells him everything he says is confidential. Her invasive questions make him ask what kind of doctor she is. Epiphany bursts in during another question and tells her, "Step away from the Prince!" Epiphany outs her as a reporter and is corrected by Kelly Curtis that she is a journalist. Nikolas threatens her and she leaves. Epiphany tells him it's time for sponge bath.
Lulu doesn't want to leave with Dante, Luke or Laura. Luke and Laura explain who they are and Dante adds he's her husband. Lulu says, "No you're not, my husband's name is Stavros Cassadine." Lulu calls them liars and calls out to Stavros. Laura explains Stavros is a kidnapper and Dante tells her about their wedding but she doesn't remember. Dante tries to make her see that they love each other. Laura thinks they should take a break and she tries to calm Lulu. Dante asks Luke what if she never remembers any of us. Laura tells Lulu it is okay if she can't remember anything because she's her mother and she does. Luke says they have to leave and upsets Lulu who thinks she's safe there as Stavros' wife. They convince her that the rest of the Cassadine's will want her out of the way. She agrees to leave.
Sonny thinks Brenda is at the door but finds Kate or Connie. He invites her in and asks if she's going to tell him who she is. Before she tells him she asks who he was hoping she was when he opened the door. He only wants her to be healthy and happy. He asks, "Are you Kate or are you Connie." She responds, "Neither," and explains the two are rolled up into one and she has to live with both of them inside her. She's decided to go by her given name Connie and says she has to live without Sonny. He wants all of her. Connie doesn't want to risk a relapse and being with him is a problem. He's angry and wants to talk to the doctors. She cries, "I don't want this, I need this." She kisses him goodbye.
AJ orders a BLT at Kelly's while Tracy is pitching Pickle-Lila to Shawn so he can get in on the ground floor now. AJ reminds her he is CEO of ELQ and Luke is too busy to find the missing Quartermaine heir. She hints Spinelli can help her, but AJ indicates Spinelli is working for him and talking to someone that can help him right now. AJ gives Tracy a choice to crash and burn or step aside. She says, "You win, ELQ is yours." He asks what the catch is and she decides she has better things to do announcing she's started TAQ, "Tracy Angelica Quartermaine" to market her product. AJ rattles Tracy by telling her he owns the name Pickle-Lila.
Tomorrow's Port Charles spoilers for General Hospital:
Carly asks Tracy why she's there.
Sonny tells Olivia, Connie is not exactly back.
Rafe finds out someone is petitioning to be his guardian.

Rated 2 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 2 out of 5�by Enigma Meant For Non-Curvy Bodies I love the way this dress looked online. I am a normally a size 4 and my measurement is 34-25-41 but i went with a size 6 instead due to the style of the dress and it did not fit at all. It's way too big on the top and super tight on the bottom. This would be a super cute dress if you don't have curves. But if you have curves like i do, i would stay away from this dress. I will be returning this dress. May 13, 2013

The Fayston Elementary School will celebrate Walk and Bike to School Day on Friday, May 15, with a bike skills event at the Sugarbush Mt. Ellen parking lot. A bicycle safety fair simulates real-life traffic conditions to teach children the skills they need for safe bicycling in their neighborhood or to go to school.
Fayston students will be dropped off with their bicycle at the Mt. Ellen parking lot on the morning of May 15 at the normal school drop-off time. Following the bicycle safety fair all children will either walk or bike to the Fayston School starting at the Mt. Ellen parking lot. Walkers will finish their hike on the nature trail leading to the school while cyclists will ride down the Sugarbush Mt. Ellen Access Road and continue along German Flats Road to the school.
The Fayston constable and volunteers from the local Mad River Riders club will be on hand to provide traffic control and escort the more than 100 cyclists as they ride to school. Organizers are asking Mad River Valley community members to limit vehicular traffic on German Flats Road on Friday morning from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. to allow these young riders to arrive at school safely.
Fayston parents are reminded to check children's bicycles to ensure that they are in good working order. If bike repairs are required bicycles should be dropped off prior to May 15 where maintenance personnel can provide the necessary work. There will be bike maintenance personnel on hand, from Stark Mountain Bike Works and the Mad River Riders, the morning of the bike skills event for minor adjustments. Don't forget helmets!

|Assistant Sports Performance Coach
John Lockwood joined the Cal State Northridge staff as an Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach in November 2013 after working at Eastern Washington University as a Graduate Assistant Athletic Performance Coach, where he was responsible for training the track & field and football programs. At CSUN, he will work with the baseball, cross country, women's soccer, men's and women's volleyball and women's water polo programs.
Prior to his time with Eastern Washington, Lockwood spent three academic semesters as an Undergraduate Assistant at Monmouth University primarily with the men's golf team. While at Monmouth, he also assisted with the football and men's soccer teams, and men's and women's throwers.
In addition, Lockwood spent the summer of 2012 as an intern at UCLA assisting with the design and implementation of the men's basketball training program.
Lockwood holds multiple certifications, most recently becoming a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) in April 2013. He earned his bachelor's degree in Science, Health and Physical Education from Monmouth University in 2013 and played football for the Hawks from 2009 to 2011.
