A parking facility is only as good as its barrier. Modern barriers require innovative and future-oriented engineering as well as environmentally compatible and energy-saving technology. Magnetic.Parking barriers meet these requirements completely: While the MHTM™ MicroDrive and the MGC control secure decisive advantages for you and optimise the benefit of your parking facility, the housing and the VarioBoom do not leave anything to be desired.
The Magnetic.Parking models contain the complete barrier incl. the MGC control unit, an integrated 2-channel detector module and the VarioBoom barrier boom.
You are looking for an allround parking barrier for parking lots, multi-storey car parks, airports or rental car facilities? Then, this is your choice: Magnetic.Parking.
The Magnetic.Parking barriers are complete, but cost-oriented barrier solutions for parking systems. The design is complemented by impressively high basic functions that meet nearly any requirement. By default, the barriers are delivered in two colors: housing in RAL 2000, doors in IGP-DuraFace 5803E71319A10 (similar to RAL 7021).
The Magnetic.Parking Pro models contain the complete barrier incl. the MGC Pro control unit, an integrated 2-channel detector module and the VarioBoom barrier boom. Magnetic.Parking Pro models are available in three different color combinations.
You need more functionality and faster opening and closing times? You want more design options and a barrier that is ready for future upgrades? This is your choice: Magnetic.Parking Pro.
The Magnetic.Parking Pro barriers are particularly well suitable for use in strongly frequented systems with their fast opening times as of 1.3 seconds. As compared to the Magnetic.Parking models, the Pro version offers a greater functional scope and additional extensibility options with plug-in modules and exclusive accessories.

My total income before Medicare premiums for Part B and D is $17K and change. So they have decided I no longer qualify for food stamps, or assistance frm Medicare to help pay the copays for my medications. Clearly in the Government's calculations I am considered at least Middle class. Mind you, I don't own my home, I don't own a car and I DO significant medical costs. But then $17 K IS a fortune, right?

RP is a sneaky turd!
He had bills with earmarks for his district in them that he put in the bill, but didn't vote for. He knew the bill would pass, so he was able to vote against the bill, so he could claim he never voted for a bill that had earmarks. It is a favorite claim of Paulsies, but it is a hollow claim.

BOULDERING – Bouldering is a style of rock climbing undertaken without a rope and normally limited to very short climbs over a crash pad so that a fall will not result in serious injury. It is typically practiced on large natural boulders or artificial boulders in gyms and outdoor urban areas.
(Learn more about Bouldering)
TOP ROPE – Top-rope climbing (or Top-roping) is a style in climbing in which a rope, used for the climber's safety, runs from a belayer at the foot of a route through one or more carabiners connected to an anchor system at the top of the route and back down to the climber, usually attaching to the climber.
(Learn more about Top Rope)
LEAD CLIMBING– Lead climbing is a climbing technique used to ascend a route. This technique is predominantly used in rock climbing and involves a lead climber attaching themselves to a length of dynamic (elastic) climbing rope and ascending a route whilst periodically attaching protection to the face of the route and "clipping in" to it.

No, not that one. A different developer and a brand new device that has not been released yet. It sounds quite exciting, though.

I am wondering if I can not fabricate some form of adapter plate. What are the dimensions of the box? I just love the idea of cool operating multi-contrast adjustments even if it means using just my iPhone for awhile. If it worked out great then I would move my Stopclock Vario and D2HI head over to my mural enlarger that is currently under construction, no point in wasting a $350+ timer system.
A lot of us split-grade print and loathe the idea of spending $300 and up for a heat generating 500H head with no warranty or parts that is hard to come by in the first place.
It's the kind of innovation that you are doing that is going to be *essential* to keeping would be fine art printers from saying to hell with it and going digital, I am really surprised ILford does not get in on this since it is key...
When it comes to truly professional multigrade printing heads, there is just not crap out there, it's really frustrating.

"I'm the freak that shoots film. God bless the freaks!" ~ Mainecoonmaniac ~
If you look closely at the top of the headless 45MXT in this ad, you can clearly see that if you were to remove the clamping hardware, there is almost enough room on top for the unit to sit. One would then have to either cut out the two pieces of support metal in the back that would block the box from siting flush, cut slits in the box for the same reason or make a platform that would allow the box to just clear the angles. If the light source is as big or bigger than the round opening then all I would have to do is make a seat for the diffusion box to sit in, it could stay there and not have to be removed each time I swap negs. I fab stuff out of aluminum all the time, if this generates little to no heat, I could make life even easier and do it out of a combo of black plastic and aluminum.
Ultimately, it depends on what the dimensions of the box are....
If I can get this to work...I think I am in. I would use my iPad-2 without hesitation, would love to not have to put MG filters in front of my Apo-N enlarging lenses all the time.

you can see the Omega-specific 4 horizontal bars that match up with the raising/lowering carriage assembly unit unique to the D-series. It's not a circular Aristo-style drop-in. However, since I don't own a Beseler 45MX, I can't say if it might be adaptable or not. I'd be curious if you think so...

The outer dimensions of the box are exactly 5" x 6" in length and width, and about 5" high including the heat sink. The opening in the bottom is just a hair over 4" by 5". I think you could make an adapter to non-destructively fit it to your 45MX. Is it possible to remove entirely the enlarger's upper bellows so that the lamp house may rest directly on the negative carrier? If so, the project would be very easy. If not, then your idea of constructing a spacer plate seems feasible. There may even be a small market for such a device as it would work for the Model 2 lamp house as well.

November 27, 2015
RIO DE JANEIRO (August 23, 2013)--Tens of thousands of Brazilians have downloaded a new "Boyfriend Tracker" app that promises to act like a "private detective in your partner's pocket," reporting on a partner's location, and even stealthily sending copies of text messages sent to and from the targeted person's phone.
Google Play has since removed the app from its store.
The move was evidently in response to complaints that the app invades privacy and could be used by extortionists or even stalkers.

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. 2010-03-26 22:32:00
Friday night before launch, and once again we start from having no working radio beacons. But unlike last time, we have some seriously impressive looking Sputnik-like payload. One of the major worries from the previous launch was the internal temperature, reported at -21C at one point.
This time, we have a solid block of styrofoam with voids carved into it for individual pieces of equipment, some of which are further wrapped in aluminized mylar for additional insulation; some of which have active heating internally in the form of a power resistor across a 9V battery.
We're optimistic.
Similarly exciting, although we're flying the same APRS tracker as last time, we also have new APRS softmodem code for the Android, meaning that it will alternate transmitting position updates from its internal GPS with the known-working tracker.
That's assuming that we can make it work together sensibly by 10am tomorrow, of course.
Other than that, we have extra cameras, including an IR experiment, and random updated bits and pieces. We may even manage to charge the batteries this time.

December Romantic Travel Guide
|WINTER WONDERLAND: Hand-in-hand in Central Park's skating rink (Corbis)
Christmas Eve on Canyon Road in Santa Fe, NM
As dusk approaches, bundle up against the inevitable chill and meander down one of the country's finest art gallery streets. Christmas Eve on Canyon Road is magical. Piñon and cedar bonfires line the ancient road; galleries give out hot cider and cookies; revelers erupt in spontaneous rounds of caroling; hundreds of thousands of tiny candles placed in paper bags (farolitos) line walkways and rooftops. Let the magic begin.
Ice Skating in New York City
Few wintertime activities are as quintessentially urban as ice skating in Manhattan. The glitzy rink at Rockefeller Center, with the famously lit tree, has drawn folks since the mid-1930s. But the Wollman Memorial Park at Central Park and 63rd Street may be the city's loveliest. It's surrounded by fine architecture, rocky outcroppings, and lots of weeping willows. Glide side-by-side with a partner or celebrate your singleness. Whichever it is, feel free. No one is watching. This is New York.
Venice, Italy
Go ahead: Get lost. You won't be the first person to do so since the city's founding in the early 400s. Wander deeper and deeper away from Piazza San Marcodown narrow alleyways, over one bridge and then another and another. You can't go too wrong strolling along Venetian canals at Christmastime with a new (or old) love. Skip a touristy gondola ride and hop a vaporetti (a water bus) with the locals. After all, Venetians know a thing or two about passion; they live in the world's most romantic city.
Nantucket, MA
Islanders heartily welcome romantic souls during wintertime as this rarified island reverts to its traditional roots for this month-long celebration. Santa and Mrs. Claus disembark from a boat; a town crier announces their arrival as they swap the sleigh for a horse-drawn carriage; and Victorian carolers line gas lantern streets. Inns keep their hearths burning, restaurants warm appetites with haute cuisine, and pubs ply guests with hot toddies. And all is right with the world for a moment.
Jackson, WY
In Jackson, the snow-covered Teton Mountains are one grand breath awayas are majestic herds of elk (from mid-December through March). Upwards of 5,000 winter in the nearby National Elk Refuge, along with the country's largest herd of protected bison. Bundle up and take a horse-drawn sleigh to meet them on their terms. Then snuggle up in the first-rate Rusty Parrot Lodge (888.739.1749; www.rustyparrot.com), a timber and stone lodge with oh-so-Western rooms. Dine on classic but contemporary cuisine and soak in the spa. Vow to return.
Decadent Dining in Honolulu, HI
Whether it's a beachside breakfast at the Hau Tree Lanai (808.921.7066; kaimana.com/dining.htm) on glorious San Souci Beach at the quiet end of Waikiki, or dinner at the truly incomparable Chef Mavro (808.944.4714; www.chefmavro.com), where Hawaiian regional cuisine is prepared with a distinctly Provencal flavor, dining out on Oahu is an event. At the former, do not miss poi pancakes or waffles; they are without parallel. At the latter, order the nightly special and save room for the malasadas, a filled fried dough pastry popular in Hawaii.
Dinner at Cap Est in Martinique, French West Indies
This volcanic island, a bastion of French-Creole cooking, is still relatively off the beaten Caribbean tourist path. But for those in the know, dinner at Cap Est at the Hotel Cap Est Lagoon Resort & Spa (+05.96.596.54.8080; www.capest.com) is worth the flight alone. Contemporary fusion cuisine surpasses all high expectations. While you're here, enjoy great beaches, fine snorkeling, splendid hiking, and of coursea favoritesimply doing nothing against a backdrop of crystal clear, turquoise waters.
Saint Lucia, West Indies
This tropical dreamland transports guests back to Eden. No question. With the help of lushly spiked mountains and expansive ocean vistas, modern stresses melt. To fully imbibe, stay at Ladera (866.290.0978; www.ladera.com) and understand why this may very well be the best hotel in the Caribbean. Convincing you of this fact comes in the form of afternoon tea at the infinity pool, cocktails at the open-air bar, a Dream Pillow Service to ensure you get a perfect night's sleep, and local epicurean delicacies. Guestrooms feature an open wall (with a bed draped in netting) and a plunge or swimming pool. Take your next holiday on Cloud Nine and redefine Utopia.
Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic
You'll find a bit of something for everyone at the 7,000-acre Casa De Campo, from golfers and sports fanatics to families and romantics. Why include it in a romance column then? Because everyone's definition of what's romantic is different. You can even bring the kids along, drop them (occasionally) at the superb kid's programs, and take a minute for "the couple." Likewise, send your partner off to play and indulge in a little time for yourself.
(888.374.6361; www.casadecampo.com.do/)
Big Sur, CA
I can't help myself: Big Sur is the most beautiful place in North America. There. I said it. Even in rainy December, there are few cozier places to cuddle up with your lover than practically anywhere here. Since the journey is part of the romance, though, you'll likely draw your partner close to you long before nightfall. Stop at a grove of redwoods and savor its pheromones. Stroll Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park in late afternoon mist. Watch gray whales breach offshore and elephant seals resting onshore. It won't be your last visit.

Syncomatic synchronises Library metadata and Develop adjustments
Examples of where to use Syncomatic
Outsourced keywording
Outsourced keywording is one reason for using Syncomatic. Imagine you have a large number of JPEGs which someone else has keyworded and added IPTC titles, ratings and other metadata. You now want to apply that metadata to your raw files. It would take a long time to do this manually. You'd select 1234.jpg and 1234.nef (or any other type of raw file) and use the Sync Metadata button, but you'd then have to do it for 1235.jpg, 1236.jpg and so on. Syncomatic does this automatically.
Unsupported raw files
Another possible application is when you have a new camera which has a raw file type which Lightroom doesn't yet support. What you might do is shoot Raw+JPEG, import the JPEG files, and add your metadata and adjustments. Once Lightroom supports the camera, you can import the raw files and use Syncomatic to update them.
Lightroom Mobile
A newer use is with Lightroom Mobile if you are travelling with the iPad and want to import new images. LrM version 1 won't let you import raw files directly, but if you shoot raw+JPEG you can import the JPEGs into Lightroom Mobile, apply star ratings and flags, even make adjustments. When you return to your computer, you can import the raw files into Lightroom and LrM automatically imports the JPEGs with the metadata. Syncomatic's capture time option allows you to sync the metadata from the JPEGs to the raw files.
Lightroom Versions
Syncomatic works on Lightroom 2 or later.
Payment and Updates
The trial version operates on up to 10 images at a time. Purchasing the plugin will give you a registration code that will remove this restriction. All future updates are free.

A 15-year-old boy and his 14-year-old stepbrother were playing with a revolver when it apparently accidently fired, critically wounding the younger teen in the head Sunday morning in southeast Houston, officials said.
The shooting happened about 11:40 a.m. at a home in the 8100 block of Bonner near Bliss, according to the Houston Police Department.
Police said the wounded teen was rushed to Ben Taub General Hospital and was in critical condition.
The other boy was not hurt.
Police said the older stepbrother initially told investigators a man had come into the home, shot the younger teen and then left.
However, police said, the older boy later admitted that he had found a handgun and he and the other teen were handling it. He had his finger on the trigger when he handed the gun to his stepbrother and the trigger was accidentally pulled. The revolver fired.
The boy said he tossed the gun into a nearby body of water after the shooting. The HPD Dive Team has so far been unable to find the weapon.
Police did not release details about where the boy said he found the revolver or where he had tossed it.
The older teen was questioned and released to his parents.

Essential vitamins every kid needs
Kids are a tricky bunch. Sometimes they're really picky eaters and you're not sure if they're getting all of the vitamins and nutrients they need. Luckily, because many of our foods are fortified today, most kids do get all of the essentials, according to the Mayo Clinic, and there's really no need for a multivitamin. However, if children are on restricted diets, have food allergies, suffer from chronic diseases or have been diagnosed with failure to thrive, they could need a doctor-recommended multivitamin. Here are the main nutrients in vitamins important for child health, along with their functions:
- Vitamin A: Supports bone growth and vision, protects the body against infection
- Vitamin D: Supports growth and bone mass, builds strong teeth and bones, helps the body absorb calcium and other minerals
- Vitamin E: Limits free radical production
- Vitamin C: Keeps gums healthy, boosts immune health and healing, helps repair and form cells in the body
- Zinc: Aids digestion and metabolism
- Iron: Makes hemoglobin that brings oxygen to the cells, prevents anemia
- Potassium: Helps control water balance in body and maintain blood pressure
- Magnesium: Keeps heart beats steady and supports immune system, muscle and nerve functions
- Calcium: Supports growth of strong bones and teeth
- Fatty acids: Support healthy brain function, vision and the cardiovascular system
Even the healthiest kids are prone to viruses going around, especially during flu season as they spend eight hours of their day in classrooms in close proximity to other kids. One great product to boost immune health is Symbiotics Colostrum Chewables by Naturade, which are made just for kids and come in three kid-friendly flavors: wild cherry, orange creme and pineapple. It uses Colostrum Plus® that is from the first milk of new mother cows, a nutrient-packed ingredient that may improve the immune system, along with other natural ingredients.
Do short workouts really work?
With our increasingly busy modern lives, it's often difficult to fit everything we'd like in to all of our days. Getting exercise is of course very important, especially if you drive to work and spend most of your days sitting at a desk. But, luckily, consensus from the experts is that short workouts really do work.
Though it's recommended that adults get 30 minutes of cardio exercise a day, this is very difficult when it's necessary to balance work, raising children and taking care of one's home - not to mention getting enough sleep each night so you can start the day refreshed. But it turns out that mixing interval training into one's schedule can help. For example, though a 30-minute, moderately paced walk burns 112 calories, mixing just eight 30-second speed-walking sprints into the 30-minute walk – for a total of four extra minutes – will enable you to burn 165 calories.
In a recent Oprah.com article, Dr. Martin Gibala said that doing short, intense workouts actually helps us get fitter in less time:
"Your body thinks, 'Whoa! That was hard work,' and it responds by increasing your ability to use oxygen and burn fat," Gibala said.
This is because intense, short workouts work fast-twitch muscle fibers – those responsible for speed and power. In contrast, during a brisk walk, we typically use mostly slow-twitch muscle fibers, which are built for endurance.
In a study Gibala led at McMaster University, half of the participants engaged in 20- to 30-minute cycling workouts with six 30-second "sprints," while the others engaged in a 90 to 120 stationary bike workout at lower-intensities. After two weeks, the people who worked out in intense intervals were just as fit as those who worked out up to four times longer.
Exercising while you watch TV
So you've got a big conundrum: Your favorite show is on TV tonight – and come to think of it, there are shows you've been dying to see tomorrow and the next night, too. But you've committed to hitting the gym at least four nights a week to get in tip-top shape, even though it puts a squeeze on your busy schedule. So, should you miss your shows or suck it up and head to the gym? Turns out, you hardly have to leave the couch to get a workout, so do both! Here are some tips for exercising while you watch TV:
- Triceps dips: Using the couch for support, place your hands on the edge and walk your feet out. Bend your elbows to "dip" down toward the ground and come back up. Complete two sets of 15.
- Couch push-ups: Kneel on the floor 2 feet away from the couch but facing it. Put your hands on the edge, shoulder-width apart, and do a push-up, lowering your chest until it just touches but does not rest on the couch cushion.
- Boat Pose: Sit on the floor with bent knees and hands by your side. Lean back onto your tail bone and slowly lift your legs until they are at a 45-degree angle with the floor. Lift your arms at the same time so that they are parallel with your knees in a way that helps you keep balance. Keep your back straight and hold the pose for 30 seconds. This is a great core-builder.
- Sit-ups or crunches: These are self-explanatory and are a great workout to do anywhere that will tone your core. This is a good exercise to do during commercial breaks as it's hard to focus on the TV when your head is bobbing up and down and you're focusing on your abs.
- Planks: Get in the push-up position, pull your stomach in and make sure your butt is in line with the rest of your body, rather than sticking straight into the air. Hold this position for 30 seconds then lower slowly to the ground.
- Baby Cobra Pose: This one gives you a good stretch and – even better – you can do it while watching TV. Lie on your stomach and put your hands flat on the ground next to your chest. Use the tops of your feet and your hands to lift your upper body, keeping your elbows close and your hips downward pressed flat to the ground. Hold it for 30 seconds to get a good stretch in your lower back.
Supplements for a good night's sleep
Many people struggle with sleep problems, whether that means having difficulty falling asleep or waking up frequently throughout the night. A lot of people aren't sure why they have difficulty sleeping, but many know it's because of their eating habits, caffeine consumption or overwhelming levels of stress. However, It's very important that we get enough sleep each night and enter into REM and deep sleep cycles because this is the process our bodies use to restore themselves.
One good option is to try a supplement for a better night's sleep, such as Symbiotics® TryptoZen®, which uses milk peptide to help induce relaxation. Unlike similar products, Symbiotics TryptoZen has no known side effects. Naturade SlumberAid is another product that may be able to help you get better sleep each night. It is all natural and contains 5 milligrams of melatonin - a chemical that the body produces to begin the sleep cycle. SlumberAid also contains magnesium, B vitamins and calcium. The combination of these natural ingredients may induce longer sleep, help you fall asleep more quickly and let you feel more refreshed upon waking.
Here are some other things you can do to be proactive about getting better sleep:
- Avoid caffeine a full eight hours before bedtime.
- Exercise every day – just not less than a few hours before bedtime.
- Avoid screen time – including laptops, cell phones and the TV – at least an hour before bed. The blue light has been shown by research to slow the onset of the bodies sleep cycle.
- Use the bed for only sleeping and sex – don't eat, red or watch TV here, as your brain needs to associate the bed with sleep.
Naturally support your body's defenses with Naturade Probiotics 30 B CFU™
The good bacteria in our digestive tract – and there are billions of them – are important for digestion and immune health. Normally, our bodies can maintain the proper balance of good bacteria to combat the pathogenic kind. However, there are times when our immune systems are down due to infection, medication, disease, diet or environmental factors. In these instances, we are more susceptible to digestive issues and infection due to an imbalance of good and bad bacteria.
In these instances, it's a good idea to take a probiotic, which is filled with the healthy bacteria our gut needs. Naturade® Probiotics 30 B CFU™ can help restore intestinal flora and boost your body's defenses. It contains 30 billion good bacteria in each capsule to restore your body's balance and improve digestion. When the intestinal flora are out of balance, one can experience various digestive issues including constipation, gas and bloating. Naturade's probiotic is allergen and dairy free so those with sensitivities can still enjoy the benefits of a daily probiotic.
Healthiest foods in each food group
There are healthy foods, and then there are mega-super-fuelled foods, which are so good for your body in so many ways that you feel healthier as you eat them. Whether you're looking to maximize your calories or to find a way to make up for that donut you enjoyed earlier in the day, here is some information about the healthiest foods in each of the five food groups:
- Bulgar: It's made from pre-cooked wheat berries and is an awesome source of fiber and protein. Additionally, bulgar wheat keeps blood sugar levels stable.
- Oatmeal: Oats are heart healthy, chock-full of fiber and even have a good amount of protein.
- Eggs: They're packed with tons of nutrients and vitamins, many of which are difficult to get elsewhere. And don't just eat the whites – the yolks are where most of the nutrients are found, including choline – 25 percent of your daily dose – which can increase cell membrane functioning and reduce inflammation in the body. They also contain vitamins B6, B12, D and E, as well as iron, folate, zinc, phosphorus and riboflavin. While it's true that people with heart disease should limit their ingestion of egg yolks to twice per week, they're very healthy for everyone else to consume frequently.
- Beans: These perfect foods are packed with fiber, protein, calcium, magnesium and potassium. They've been shown to be very heart-healthy, and it's recommended that people eat at least 3 cups of beans per week.
- Salmon: It's packed with omega-3s, which have been shown to be good for heart health and brain function. One serving of salmon has nearly 50 percent of one's daily dose of niacin, which is good for memory. It's also a lean source of protein.
- Blueberries: These lovely little fruits are an amazing source of powerful antioxidants called proanthocyanidins, which can help protect the body and brain from environmental toxins. They also are a good source of vitamins C and E, niacin, folate and riboflavin.
- Kiwi: Kiwis combine a lot in a small package. They have nearly as much potassium as a banana and twice as much vitamin C as oranges, ounce for ounce.
- Figs: These perfect little California- and Mediterranean-growing fruits are good for cardiovascular health and have high levels of potassium and nearly as much calcium per serving as a half cup of milk.
- Broccoli: Along with other cruciferous veggies, like cabbage and cauliflower, broccoli has disease-fighting and heart-healthy benefits, vitamin C and the all-important sulforaphane.
- Avocados: They're filled with all kinds of healthy stuff, including mono-unsaturated fatty acids, fiber, vitamin E, folate and potassium. Also, they're downright tasty on a salad, sandwich or as guacamole.
- Spinach: The best part about this ultra-healthy veggie is that it can be added to nearly everything, from sandwiches to smoothies. It's an excellent source of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are important antioxidants for eye health, not to mention various vitamins and minerals our bodies need.
- Greek yogurt: It's the best, hands-down. Greek yogurt is packed with protein and calcium, and it tastes delicious even with very low levels of fat. The probiotics are good for digestion.
Give your bike a fall tune-up with these tips
We give our bicycles a spring tune-up in preparation for summer, so why not give them an early fall tune-up as well? Even if you live in a place with harsh winters, there are still a few good months left to head out on a long ride on your two-wheeled transport. Below are some tips for a DIY tune-up as well as advice on when to fix and when to replace various components:
What you'll need
Here are the basic tools and materials you'll need for a tune-up:
- A few old towels or cleaning cloths
- A small fine brush or old toothbrush
- A bucket with warm water and dishwashing soap
- Extra-dry bike chain lube
- Bike pump with a pressure gauge
Even if you're not a complete cycling expert, there are some easy things that don't take much expertise – just a little elbow grease:
A thorough cleaning
One of the best things you can do to get your bike looking sparkly and new and, yes, even running better, is to clean it from wheel to wheel. So, grab your bucket of warm soapy water and get started. First, check the dirt around the chain and drivetrain – you don't even have to know what that is, but it's just the center of the bike down where the pedals and gears are located. Wipe it down with a wet towel. There are a lot of nooks and crevices in this area of the bike so if yours seems particularly dirty, you might want to use a small wire brush or old toothbrush to reach all the little complicated spots. Also, if your chain seems particularly rusty, spray on a bit of WD-40 and wipe the chain down. Let the chain dry completely and then use a strong magnet to attract metal filings that might have collected there.
The chain
It's important to check your bike chain once a month to make sure the bearings are well-oiled and not grind and rubbing on each other. Before applying the lube – which keeps everything running smoothly – make sure to let the chain dry completely. To apply the lube, put a few drops or spray it on the top and bottom of the chain and run the gears. Use a towel to wipe away extra product - if you use too much, it will attract dirt and grime. A good amount of lube is when you can't see it but there's a light oil residue when you touch it.
Many avid bikers keep a chain fix kit with them at all times. If your chain happens to break, then you'll have the right tools to fix it, which usually involves taking out the broken link plus an additional link and using the chain tools to reattach the ends. Luckily, a chain break isn't a very common occurrence, but if it happens, it can usually be easily fixed.
The tires
It's really important to have a pressure gauge with your tire pump, and you should probably check your tires at least once a week to save yourself from getting a flat. The pounds per square inch (psi) will be printed on the side of the tire so you know what level it should be at. Mountain bikes usually have 40 to 80 psi and road bikes can have up to 120 psi. Most bikers put 5 to 10 less psi in their front tires since we don't put too much weight on them.
If you have a flat tire from a puncture, you can likely fix it using a patch kit. But if it's a huge hole, you'll want to replace a road bike tire and use your best judgment for a mountain bike tire. Most people would rather not risk having a blowout and a major accident and will just choose to replace the tubing!
The brakes
Brakes are also something you should check frequently, but here's what you need to do for a tune-up. Look at the brake pads – if you can see the wear lines or metal peeking through, they must be replaced. If your brakes are making a weird noise, you can sand the pads down to eliminate it. Check your brake cable next – if it has rust or loose strands, you should get it replaced.
Quick cellulite-killer cardio workouts
Cellulite: It's a nine-letter word that's almost unspeakable to most women. While men can have cellulite too, their bodies typically have less fat, especially on the thigh and buttocks areas, so it affects women the most. Cellulite happens when the collagen fibers in the skin stretch, pull tight or break down and fat cells bulge out, creating the dimpled effect that many of us fear and loathe. But an important thing to know about cellulite is that it isn't related to how much you weigh - it's more closely related to genetics, diet, lifestyle and hormone changes. Here are some things you can do to possibly avoid cellulite:
- Stay hydrated. Keep a water bottle with you at all times, because dehydration is bad for the cells, skin and other parts of the body.
- Avoid smoking.
- Eat plenty of fiber, veggies and fruits, and stay away from yo-yo dieting.
- Exercise frequently, especially if you have a sedentary job.
Cellulite-free cardio workout
Today, many of our jobs involve sitting in an office chair for eight hours per day. This is not good for circulation and could contribute to the development of cellulite. Thus, exercise is very important. Here's a quick cellulite-busting cardio routine:
- Romanian dead lifts, 10 repetitions: Grab some weights and, standing with your feet hip-width apart and slightly bent knees, hold the weights with your palms facing your body and slowly bend forward. Push your glutes out behind you, then tighten them and stand.
- Squat press with twist, five sets, two times each: With your feet hip-width apart and your weight lifted up by your shoulders with palms facing forward, do a squat. When you rise up, stretch your arms straight up and twist your torso to the right. Then do a set to the left.
- Around-the-clock lunges, three sets of 15: These lunges will work your hamstrings, quads, thighs and glutes – all of the areas most prone to cellulite formation. Put your hands on your hips and lunge forward – the 12 o'clock position. Then return to your standing position, before lunging to the right for 3 o'clock. Continue by lunging back to the 6 o'clock position and then to the side for 9 o'clock. Then switch to the left leg.
- Standing calf raises, 10 repetitions: Stand on a step with your heels hanging over the edge. Lift up onto the balls of your feet and hold the position for two counts before lowering your feet until your heels are just below the step. For an extra challenge, stand on one leg at time.
Best fall sports
With the change in seasons from sticky summer humidity to fresh fall air comes the arrival of autumn sports to watch and play. Now's the time to cook up some wings, grab a few beers and settle into the comfy couch to cheer on your favorite professional and college football teams. But make sure to get out there and enjoy the breezy fall weather before it turns cold by organizing a few pick up games of your own or even joining a local league. Here are our fall sport ideas:
- Sure, you're no Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or Adrian Peterson, but we're sure you've got some sweet moves of your own. Before the big game, organize a pick up football game of your own with the friends you typically watch with. You'll get pumped up, feel inspired and probably feel less guilty about indulging in your favorite greasy game foods. Make it fun by turning it into a weekly thing, with jerseys and a funny team name.
- If you're a Ronaldinho, Ronaldo or Pelé fan, get your kicks by organizing a fall soccer tournament or joining a local league. Soccer is an awesome fall sport because it's so fast-paced and requires consistent running, that the cool air of fall is a nice break from the stifling heat of summer that makes this kind of activity more strenuous. Unless you're the goalie, soccer is an amazing cardio workout because it requires 90 minutes of stopping, starting, jumping, sliding and direction changing while keeping possession of a ball – it's hard work.
- For a more laid-back fall sport, consider playing bocce ball. Though it's not a workout per say, you're at least on your feet the entire time. Bocce is an exercise in precision and strategy, and we think it's quite underrated.
Great cold weather workouts
For a lot of people, our motivation wanes as the cold weather creeps in – exercising outdoors is particularly challenging, and trudging to the gym seems like a chore. But winter doesn't mean the end of working out! In fact, it's still important to catch some rays when you can to get your vitamin D and stave off Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Here are some great calorie-busting, muscle-building, fun outdoor winter activities to get a workout and some fresh air and sun:
- If you have kids and live in an area where it snows, sledding is the perfect exercise! Not only is it incredibly exhilarating to race down a hill at wild speeds, but it's also an excellent workout – once you get to the bottom, you have to hike up to the top to catch your thrills again.
- Even residents of Los Angeles and other warm places can enjoy ice skating at an artificial rink. Ice skating is the quintessential winter activity no matter where you live, and since it's an aerobic exercise, it's also a fabulous workout. Depending on how much you weigh, just one hour of recreational ice skating can burn between 250 and 810 calories. It's a great activity to tone your quadriceps and hamstrings, and ice skating requires the use of your abdominal and lower back muscles to keep your balance – strengthening these muscles will help you in other activities like yoga.
- Go snow boarding. Snow boarding requires supreme balance and core strength to not only stay upright on the board but successfully navigate down a hill. Plus, you're burning up to 500 calories per hour! Even taking beginners' lessons can be a great workout.
- If you live in a flatter area, try cross-country skiing. It's a total body workout – it strengthens the core and tones the arms. You can burn around 570 calories per hour cross-country skiing.
- Of all winter sports, snowshoeing has one of the biggest payoffs! You can burn up to 700 calories per hour during your snowy trek.
- Simply taking a brisk walk in the snow is also a great idea. You'll have to move quickly to keep your body warm, and keeping your balance on the ice and snow is more of a workout than taking a walk in better weather.

Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
American marine biologist and author. Born on 27 May 1907 in Springdale, Philadelphia. Carson graduated from Pennsylvania College for Women in 1929, then gained a Masters in zoology at John Hopkins University in 1932. She went on to teach zoology at the University of Maryland from 1931 to 1936, then became a marine biologist with the US Bureau of Fisheries (renamed the US Fish and Wildlife Service after World War II).
In 1941 she published Under the Sea Wind, her first book about sea life, and by 1949 she had risen to Chief Biologist and Editor. She went on to publish The Sea Around Us (1951), before resigning her post in 1952 to devote her life to writing.
In 1955 she published The Edge of the Sea, and in 1962 her most famous book Silent Spring, which denounced the excessive use of various chemical pesticides and instigated a Presidential Advisory Committee calling for an investigation into their use. The book was heralded as one of the most influential works of the century.
Carson is remembered for the beauty of her prose, and as a pioneer of the modern worldwide environmental movement. Her final book The Sense of Wonder (1965), was published after her death from cancer. She died in Maryland on 14 April 1964.

Police action to protests in other cities
New York City: Police arrest roughly 700 protesters marching across the Brooklyn Bridge Oct. 2, including roughly 500 who were warned not to sit or march in the way of traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge and then corralled by officers when they did.
Seattle, Wash: Police enforce a city ordinance banning camping in city parks and arrest 25 protesters who refused to remove their encampment Oct. 5. The next night about 30 people slept in boxes and other makeshift shelters, side-stepping the citys order to remove tents.
Des Moines, Iowa: Police arrest a few dozen protesters who refused to leave the Iowa Statehouse lawn Sunday night past the citys 11 p.m. curfew because they lacked a permit to camp.
DOWNTOWN - As Piatt Park closed at 10 p.m. Monday, about two dozen Occupy Cincinnati protesters lined up in an orderly fashion and began accepting citations from police.
Another two dozen protesters stood just outside the park, showing their support and watching officers write citations.
Lawyers advising the protesters had said earlier that they didn't expect arrests or eviction from the park, where about 15 tents had been erected Monday night.
Bradley Dillinger, 24, of Over-the-Rhine, who was among the protesters outside the park, said there didn't appear to be any hostility between the protesters and the police.
Dillinger said that while he believed in what the protesters were doing, he also understood that the officers were simply doing their jobs.
It will be the same as last night, lawyer Geoffrey Miller, who is not formally representing the protesters, said Monday afternoon during a meeting between Police Chief James Craig and most of his command staff.
The protesters have requested a 24-hour permit until the end of the year from the Cincinnati Parks Board, said Parks Director Willie Carden. It will not be granted, he said, because the park board does not issue such a permit.
Weve never made an exception in Piatt Park, Carden said.
More photos: Saturday march to Fountain Square
The protesters are welcome to gather there when the park is open, Carden said, as long as they follow park rules. But when the park closes at 10 p.m. anyone on the property can expect a citation, he said.
Craig had said Monday afternoon that his officers would enforce the rule and he told the protesters so Monday, the second meeting hes had with organizers since the Occupy Cincinnati protests began Saturday.
An ongoing dialogue will continue there will never be a surprise for them from the police department you have my assurance on that, Craig said.
Several police officials stopped by the park throughout the day to talk with protesters but there was no clear indication Monday when the tent city in the east end of Piatt Park, near the corner of Race Street and Garfield Place, would end.
Also at the park most of the day was Josh Spring, executive director of the Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless, who said he was there for organizational support and because the coalition fights for civil liberties when it can.
The citations issued to 22 members of the loosely organized Occupy Cincinnati Sunday will be fought, Spring vowed.
I think part of this is challenging the rule the right to assemble, the right to speak should supersede someone elses viewpoint that someone should not be allowed in a public space, Spring said.
Aaron Roco, a 33-year-old from Clifton who was one of those cited Sunday night for being in the park after hours, said the group only wants a 24-hour space somewhere downtown, in Over-the-Rhine, very close to the business district.
The occupation of Piatt Park is inspired by the recent Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City, where hundreds occupied a city park to protest for what they call the 99 percent and against the small group of wealthy Americans who control the majority of the nations wealth.
When people who are suffering hear about this movement, they realize they are not the only ones suffering and they band together to do something about it, said Roco, who said he has been laid off from jobs three times in 18 months.
The protests started Saturday with several hundred people marching from Lytle Park to Fountain Square for a day-long protest. Sunday night, 74 Occupy Cincinnati supporters showed up at Piatt Park, setting up tents for the night.
Police waited until 11 p.m. an hour after the official closing time of the city park to issue citations. Most left, but 22 chose to stay and lined up to receive their citations.
The citation comes with a $105 fine. Miller said protesters could plead not guilty and fight the citations, pay the fines, or ask the judge to remand the fine because they are unable to pay.
There arent many people here with that kind of money to pay, Miller said.
The citys law department is advising the Cincinnati Police Department on how to deal with the protesters, said Cincinnati Solicitor John Curp. He declined to share what that advice has been or will be if the protests continue.
Johnail Jewell, a 22-year-old from Mount Airy, was among those cited and said Monday morning she had no plans to leave.
This is not a joke, Jewell said. This is a demand for change, for everyone in this country to be treated equally. What we want is for people to know, to listen and see and hear what is going on here. We want to raise awareness. Is there any fairness in a system where one percent of the people control the wealth?

SEL Fault Indicator Named UTC Wireless Product Of The Year
NAW Staff, Tuesday 31 July 2007 - 10:34:55
The RadioRANGER Wireless Fault Indication System received the Utilities Telecommunications Council (UTC) Wireless Product of the Year Award during a recent UTC conference and exposition.
According to Lake Zurich, Ill.-based E.O. Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL), which manufactures the RadioRANGER, the product reduces the time required to find power failures by leading line crews to the location of underground faults. A crew can use the hand-held device to identify the vault or span of underground cable between two vaults in which the fault occurred.
"The RadioRANGER sniffs out the fault indicators and shows you which ones are tripped so you know right where to get to work, only opening the enclosures you need to gain access to the positively identified faulted section," says Edmund O. Schweitzer III, president and CEO of SEL. "The system came out of our search for ways to find underground faults faster and more safely and which pays back fast."

The Library is Going SolarWednesday, October 7th, 2009 - by: Brian Herzog, Head of Reference
Early next week, crews will begin installing solar panels on the roof of the Library!
As reported in April in the Chelmsford Independent, the Town chose to install solar panels on the Library not only to save money, but also to help inform the public on the benefits of solar energy. The article quoted Chelmsford Director of Public Facilities Gary Persichetti saying,
And thanks to grants and rebates from National Grid, state and federal sources, the cost for the Town is exceptionally low. Usually, solar panels take at least 5 years to pay for themselves. However, the Library's 47 solar panels will start providing a cost savings during the very first year.
Installation is scheduled to being on October 13th, and expected to last a few weeks (depending on weather). The panels themselves are designed to last 30 years, but the Library is getting started right away with educational programming. The Clean and Green program series continues on November 7th with a Home Energy Savings Seminar, and more events will follow.
After the solar panels are installed, the Library will have a public kiosk with energy-related information, featuring real-time information on how the solar panels are doing. The display will indicate how much energy the panels are producing, the temperature on the roof, and other statistics.
For more information on the solar panels or energy conservation, please contact the Library's Reference Desk at email@example.com or 978-256-5521 x211.

"I'll Take AIG Settlement for $725m, Alex."
A 5-time "Jeopardy!" champion who also happens to be Ohio's Attorney General Richard Cordray-- won the ultimate competition last week: a major settlement against insurance giant AIG.
In a lawsuit filed on behalf of Ohio's Public Employees Retirement System, State Teachers and Ohio Police and Firefighters, Ohio AG Richard Cordray alleged that AIG caused significant losses in state pension funds due to wide ranging fraud, including stock price manipulation.
You may recall (how could we forget?) that AIG has received billions in taxpayer bailouts for writing bad derivatives bets that ended up nearly destroying the U.S. financial system.
Listen: a LOT of states, funds and institutions want to wrest money from AIG. Cordray actually got it.
Cordray spoke with Fox Business today in an exclusive interview. He also spoke about his next target. Who's in his sites now? Check out the clip below.

This is the last shot I'll be putting up from my trip to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens last weekend.
I arrived back in Eastchester yesterday at about 3pm, walked into the house through the basement to find a few drops of water in the back corner. I looked out the window to see my neighbor's backyard entirely covered with water, grabbed the camera, and began shooting. I headed back into the house to swap my wide angle for my telephoto, and upon heading back to the backyard to get a closer shot of my neighbor's place, noticed that in the 30 minutes that had passed, the water had risen another 6 inches. I remembered the scenes of flood devastation I'd seen last year, and while I realized that nothing close to that would happen here, I quickly ran to the basement and brought anything worth keeping (my diploma!) up and put it in my room. Suffice to say, we didn't end up too bad. We ended up with about a foot of water and mud, ruining a carpet and 2 couches, causing us to throw out some stuff that won't be missed. I talked to some people who've lived on the block for 40 years, and nobody had seen anything like it.
This shot is taken looking down towards the end of my block. We have a small stream running in our backyard, which during this storm turned into a river, thus necessitating a visit from the US Coast Gard. On the right you can see him making sure that nobody is in the submerged car.
It is also a day that we remember loved ones who have passed away. This Yahrzeit candle was lit in memory of my mom's father, who died before I was born. When I walked into the house late last night, it was lighting up the kitchen, and will burn for 24 hours.
In other life news, today was my first day of my first paying job in the real world, so I expect my picture posting to slow down a bit for the next few weeks. We'll see what happens after that.
Unlike the last one, this image has a lot more foreground than background. I think the two of them work quite well together.
My original intentions were to focus on the sand and the shore, but that didn't work out. Instead this is a crop of that picture. It was taken at 10mm, but probably would have been better off taken at around 35mm. Oh well.

Alabama coach Nick Saban has won three national championships with the Crimson Tide.
Only Steve Spurrier would poke away at Nick Saban.
And that's why I like Spurrier.
In a recent interview with The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C., Spurrier suggested that Saban has underachieved - yes, underachieved - during his tenure at Alabama. Given all the assets Saban has in Tuscaloosa that include a succession of highly ranked recruiting classes, Spurrier wondered aloud why Alabama hasn't won more SEC titles. ...

Guruji, after meditation I usually have a headache. What should I do?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
After meditation you feel headache! Do you have a headache now? Were you trying to shove the thoughts away? You should not suddenly come back, you should slowly come back. See from deep meditation suddenly you come back it is like when you are deep in sleep someone wakes you, suddenly you wake up, what happens? Headache comes, right? Like that, so take little longer time to come back. Take a little deeper breath, relax and drink a lot of water.

text: What is a Septic System? A septic system is a sewage treatment and disposal system buried in the ground. It is composed of a septic tank and a leach field or trench. Household sewage (wastewater from sinks, toilets, showers, washing machines, garbage disposals and dishwashers) generally flows by gravity into the septic tank. There, heavier particles settle to the bottom and scum rises to the top. Bacteria in the tank help break down some of the solids. Baffles within the tank improve sludge settling and prevent scum from floating out of the tank. Effluent (liquid) flows to the leach field, where it is distributed over crushed gravel or absorbent soil. The liquid typically Includes contaminants such as nitrates, phosphorus, disease-causing bacteria and viruses, dissolved metals, detergents and solvents. The septic tank and leach field provide minimal treatment for these contaminants. Generally, phosphorus and dissolved metals are bound up by the soil; although, sand and gravel may not effectively remove these pollutants. Nitrates and solvents are diluted in groundwater. Bacteria and viruses are filtered by the soil or die off. But septic systems can Tall due to poor design or construction, to overloading or to inadequate maintenance. Environmental Impacts Improperly functioning and overloaded septic systems are major sources of water pollution. Failing septic systems leak harmful pollutants, like bacteria and excess nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), into groundwater. From there, pollutants make their way into lakes, streams, rivers, and coastal waterbodies. Malfunctioning septic systems add excess nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) to nearby waters. In coastal ecosystems, nitrogen is the nutrient of greatest concern; whereas, in lakes, rivers and streams, phosphorus is the biggest threat. lake Contamination Failing Septic Systems are the source of 5-10% of the phosphorus that reaches lakes. In a lake, increased phosphorus nourishes algae. When phosphorus levels rise, even by a small amount, algae multiply. The water becomes cloudy and green, leading to taste and odor problems, and dissolved oxygen levels are reduced, resulting in impacts to fish and other organisms that live there. As a result, lake use may decrease and property values can plummet. About half of the phosphorus reaching a septic system is from household cleaners. Much of this phosphorus will be removed by a properly functioning system. But, if the leach field is clogged, for example, effluent may surface and flow over land to nearby streams and lakes. Or, if the soil cleansing process does not work properly, phosphorus may flow underground to nearby streams, lakes through groundwater. Groundwater Contamination The chemicals and organisms in untreated septic waste can be dangerous. Wastewater contains nitrates, which are particularly toxic to infants, and disease-causing bacteria and viruses. Wastewater also contains toxic chemicals from household products such as cleaners, spot removers, solvents, furniture polish, silver polish, bleach and pesticides. These chemicals and organisms may migrate through groundwater and threaten nearby wells. Even the chemicals used in commercial septic system cleaners can be dangerous. Organic solvents travel through groundwater and can contaminate wells. Biological cleaners can plug up the disposal area and ruin the system. Coastal Contamination Nitrogen loading from failing septic systems can adversely affect Maine's coastal ecosystems. When too much nitrogen gets into the water, it disturbs the natural balance by allowing too much algae (microscopic plants) to grow. The algae cloud the water and block vital sunlight to underwater plants. When the algae die and decay, they use up much of the oxygen needed by fish and shellfish, often killing them. Special "denitrifying" septic systems designed to reduce nitrogen loading to nearby coastal waters are available. What Makes a Septic System Fail? There are two primary types of septic system failure: hydraulic failure and phosphorus treatment failure. Hydraulic failure occurs when the soil cannot handle the volume of wastewater, and as a result sewage overflows into the house. This is caused by: Failure to pump out the tank. Wastewater will back up into the house or break out onto the ground when sludge and scum from an overfull tank flows into the leach field and clogs the soil. Poorly sited or built systems. When the septic system is sited in or too close to the high water table, or is constructed with improper fill, saturated soil can cause wastewater to back up or break out. This is particularly likely to occur in the spring, when the water table is high. Tree and bush roots. Tree and bush roots over a leach field can break or block pipes and interfere with the distribution system. Phosphorus treatment failure occurs when coarse, sandy soils allow phosphorus to pass untreated through to the groundwater. In this case all the pipes and pumps are working properly, and there is no apparent evidence of malfunction. The problem lies in the inability of surrounding soils to absorb and treat the phosphorus. 1. Sewage odor near the septic tank or leach field. 2. Standing water over the tank or leach field. 3. Slow running drains and toilets. 4. A patch of bright green grass over the leach field in the winter, or lush green growth in the summer when other grass is slow-growing. All of these are signs of hydraulic failure. Unfortunately, for a phosphorus treatment failure, there may be no visible sign at all. One way to tell if this is occurring is to test the drinking water in nearby wells. If a high level of phosphorus is found, a treatment failure may be occurring. Foam in lake water and along the coast is usually not a sign of a failed septic system. Foam can be created naturally by the interaction of wind, water and decomposing plants and fish. It is frequently found on windward shores, coves and in eddies. One way to tell whether foam is natural or detergent-caused is by smell. Natural foam has a somewhat earthy or fishy aroma. Detergent foam, by contrast, has a noticeable perfume scent. Preventing System Failure Many homeowners are under the misconception that a septic system, once installed, will work forever without maintenance. This is not true! Most septic systems, even with maintenance, will work effectively for only an average of 15 to 25 years. To help protect against premature failure, the homeowner can follow a few simple procedures. These procedures help reduce sludge build-up, reduce water use, eliminate toxic waste, keep the system's bacteria working and protect the leaching system. To see if you are treating your septic system properly, review the checklists on the following pages. DO Checklist Do Inspect your tank for signs of sludge buildup and make sure the baffles are in working order. Do Pump your tank as needed (every 2-3 years for year-round residences and every 4-5 years for seasonal residences), and keep a written record for yourself or future owner. Do Compost food garbage or put it in the trash. I' Do Keep a grease can handy. Do Mark your septic system so you can protect it from vehicles and encroaching trees and shrubs. Do Conserve water; install water-saving devices, such as front-loading washers and low-flow faucets and shower heads. Do Use non-toxic cleaning products such as baking soda to scrub toilets, or boiling water to clear drains. Do Contact a site evaluator if your septic system shows signs of failure; contact your local plumbing inspector if you see evidence of other malfunctioning septic systems. Do Plant shrubs, trees and grasses downhill from your system to act as a sponge (they will tie up excess nutrients and water as well as prevent soil erosion). Keep small trees and shrubs at least 10' away from your leach field and large trees at least 20' away. Do spread out your laundry loads to even out your water use and to avoid flushing your system. DON'T Checklist Don't use a garbage disposal-it adds 50% more solids to your system. Don't pour automotive oil, cooking oil or grease down the drain. Don't drive vehicles over the septic system or leach field. Don't plant bushes or trees over the leach field. Don't use too much water, especially during rainy, wet seasons when the ground is saturated. Don't pour paint or paint thinner into your. Don't use drain cleaners and other toxic chemical products. Don't use chemical or biological septic system cleaners, which can plug up the leach fields and ruin your system. Don't flush feminine hygiene products, cat liter, disposable diapers or other non-biodegradable products into your system. ( Don't flush medicines, particularly antibiotics. ( Don't use products labeled "antibacterial." Other Tips Regular septic tank pumping and inspection will prolong the life of your septic system. Keep in mind that a septic system costs less than $300 to pump but $12,000 or more to replace and can affect the resale of your property. If your system shows signs of failure, is in coarse, sandy soils, or is within 100 feet if a lakeshore or stream, plan to replace it. In the meantime reduce your waste load, don't use a garbage disposal, and, if necessary, consider a composting toilet or similar alternative. What to do if Your System Fails Call the Maine Department of Health Engineering, at 289-5672. They may refer you to your local plumbing inspector or a licensed site evaluator. Exercise caution when working near an opened septic system. Toxic and explosive gases present are hazardous. Never enter a septic tank! Have your septic tank pumped. This is a temporary solution, especially when it is combined with drastic water conservation. Conserve water in your home. This is particularly effective if your system has not failed completely. It can help lessen the problem for a short time. Fence off the area. If effluent is seeping to the surface, prevent people and pets from coming into contact with it. Have a licensed site evaluator design a new system or an extension of your existing system. Connect to a community sewer system, if one is available. Although the long-term costs may seem high, the benefit of reduced worry and lowered maintenance for the homeowner are often worth the cost.

A Murfreesboro man was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of bank robbery and felony possession of a firearm.
Jonathan C. Baxter, 23, engaged in what Assistant U.S. Attorney Lee Deneke called a Bonnie and Clyde-style rampage with then-girlfriend Mallary R. Waldon, 22, also of Murfreesboro.
In late February 2010, Baxter robbed a Bank of America branch in Murfreesboro of $3,509. He passed a note to a teller threatening to shoot everyone in the bank, according to the lawsuit.
Four days later, Baxter drove the getaway car while Waldon robbed the National Bank of Sallisaw in Roland, Okla., of $5,703. Waldon passed a note to a teller saying that she had a bomb in her purse.
They were arrested in early March 2010 in Amarillo, Texas. Waldon was sentenced to 40 months by a judge in Oklahoma.
U.S. Middle District Chief Judge William B. Haynes Jr. said Baxter has a significant criminal history, including an incident in which he set a house on fire with people inside. Baxter was ordered to make full restitution to the banks, but he will make joint restitution with Waldon to the National Bank of Sallisaw.

Google squeezing Android devs to drop non-Wallet payments
updated 08:00 pm EST, Thu March 8, 2012
Google may pull apps not using Wallet payments
Google is reportedly taking an Apple-like approach and pushing Android developers to use only its own payment system, multiple sources contended Thursday. Developers have told Reuters they were warned that, to stay on the Google Play Store (Android Market), they had no choice but to use Google Wallet for paid apps. Their titles would be pulled if they kept using PayPal or alternatives.
The practice began as far back as August. Google gave one unnamed developer just 30 days to make the change and stay in the store. Other developers, such as Papaya and Zipline Games, have been more forthcoming in confirming the shift to Google Wallet for any in-app purchases.
The move for many will have significantly raised the amount companies have to set aside for the payment provider, giving Google a 30 percent cut. In some cases, developers had chosen alternate systems to save money.
Google hasn't commented, but its approach may reflect an acknowledgement that its previous, unrestricted approach was backfiring. Letting any payment system into its official store was creating an inconsistent approach that was discouraging users. Android is still well-known for a heavy bias towards free apps that may have reflected the long-term effects of the strategy. Apple may have succeeded partly because it insisted on iTunes from the start, making it easy and consistent to pay for apps, Bionic Panda Games' Charles Hudson told reporters.
It would nonetheless contradict Google's own public image. The search firm often stresses the openness of Android and has used criticism of Apple's iTunes-only in-app rules as a foil for its own platform. Its regular in-app system would now be as closed as Apple's, albeit with the trade-off of a better experience. Having consistent payments may be most helpful with the new Play initiative by giving the same payment method for not just apps but books, movies, and music.

Ingrid Anderson and the advocacy group Housing Opportunities Made Equal, or HOME, filed the lawsuit Tuesday against the city of Blue Ash.
A medical center recommended the horse for Anderson's daughter, who has physical ailments, The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/1c1G1oi) reported. HOME executive director Elizabeth Brown said the girl uses the horse—which is named Ellie and is the size of a large dog—for support to walk in her yard and to pull herself up after falls.
Brown said Blue Ash officials characterized the horse as livestock and said it had to be removed. She said the group tried to work with the city and that the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati was a last resort.
"People have the right to have any service animal in their home if it is recommended by a medical professional," Brown said.
The city's legal representative defended its stance on the ordinance that prohibits farm animals.
"Blue Ash is enforcing its ordinance and looks forward to being vindicated in court," City Solicitor Bryan Pacheco said.
The lawsuit wants the city prevented from enforcing the ordinance against Anderson's family and all disabled people in similar situations.
