Ok I've read the X-mart sucks posts but heres the dilema. My family spents a week to a week and a half a year in Northern MN every summer at a Cabin that has been in her famlily for generations. There are a lot of gorgous trails up there but by the time the car is loaded with kids, pets, and all the stuff that goes with them for a vacation taking our bicycles (which are LBS bikes) is just not going to happen. So I was wondering are any of the $100 to $150 bikes at X-mart ok for a bicycle that can be left there? they would probaly be ridden 2 or 3 times a year on the trails while we are up there then hung up in the garage till the next year so a $400 bike is out of the question esp since they would be left through the winter with no one there.
I've seen the single speed cruisers for around $100 that may fit the bill since theres no gears to break or maintain.
Just interested in your thoughts and input. Thanks.

We are a GOPHER, a Physical Education Equipment supplier. www.gophersport.com. We are the leader in PE Equipment for over 65 years. We have thousands of PE, Sports, Fitness and Recreation equipment. We will now be offering a Custom Apparel Service.
no, but name should be unique and Trademark-able.
Education and Universities
Our largest customer groups are schools (elementary and secondary) and institutions. Most are PE teachers and Athletic Directors who want high-quality, innovative product to keep kids active and healthy! Our customers work with a tight budget but they know when they buy a Gopher product, it will last! and we have an Unconditional 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
1. The number 1 things is Branding this new GOPHER service. They know we sell PE, Sports, Fitness and Recreation products, but NOT custom Apparel. We would like to have GOPHER in the name (i.e. Gopher Apparel)
2. This is CUSTOM! Hundreds of designs and color options to choose from and you will get it in 2 days!
3. Fast quality printing for schools to outfit not on PE Uniforms, but also School Spirit wear.
Our current PE Equipment suppliers don't offer custom apparel.
This would my almost exactly like MyLocker.net. Also other custom printing websites (CustomInk), or any local print shops in their area.
Quality, Custom, Athletic, Sprit
nothing comes to mind.. Just that this service will be huge for PE Uniforms and school spritwear
We want a "Brand", something that is clear what it is, but isnt as straight forward as "Gopher Custom Apparel™"... Somethign Like GOPHER CustomWear™, or GOPHER SportsShirtsFast™ (thats not good :))
We will want to create a logo and brand identity for this, so be thinkning about how this might lend itself to a creative logo/design.

TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
In "The Making of Star Trek," Stephen Whitfield refers to the TOS Enterprise having a large recreation area featuring "outdoor" simulation. On pages 187 - 188 he writes, "Although this recreation area has never been shown in any past Star Trek episodes, this set has now been built and will be seen in the third season."
He goes on to include Gene Roddenberry's description of this rec area which Roddenberry explains, "Therefore, we intend to build a simulated "outdoor" recreation area which gives a realistic feeling of sky, breezes, plants, fountains, and so forth."
The only area on the TOS ship that bears any similarity to an "outdoor" setting is the botany lab which has plants. Indeed, the botany lab is shown in "And The Children Shall Lead" and "Is There in Truth No Beauty," both third season episodes, but it is also previously shown in "The Man Trap," a first season episode.
Would the botany lab set also be considered this "outdoor" setting Roddenberry described? If not, it would seem rather odd that crew members would be allowed to bring their food in at any time and socialize ("The Man Trap"), or kids would be allowed to enter and run around ("And The Children Shall Lead") in a scientific lab where botanical research is being conducted.
Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
Botany lab scene from the "The Man Trap."
Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
This is one of those items which belies the supposed infallibility of TMoST. The book came out between seasons 2 and 3. The "recreation area" is, I am given to understand, the first inclination to what would be become the holodeck on TNG. It also made an appearance on TAS ("Practical Joker," IIRC). The line about the set having already been built and the promise that it would be seen in season 3 is patently false. The scene in the season 1 episode "The Man Trap" is a redress of sickbay, and the season 3 botany lab was not a standing set, so the line of having built the set is, sadly, nonsense.
Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
I changed the image to a link. In the future, please don't post images directly from other websites as that steals their bandwidth. If you want to post screencaps or other images, use a free image host like PhotoBucket or ImageShack. ;)
Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
Gotcha! :techman:
Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
The original question seems to be pretty much covered: TMoST ain't right.
In in-universe terms, the idea of "botany lab" being part of an accessible recreation area makes plenty of sense. Naturally, there would have to be quarantine areas for the nastier sorts of flora encountered in the TOS adventures, but consistency is well served by assuming that everything from "Man Trap" to "ITITNB" involves the same overall facility, for the reasons already given by mickemoose.
However, I've always been a bit uncomfortable with the idea of a starship moving a bunch of trees around. They don't uproot entire tribes and put them in onboard concentration camps in order to study languages; why haul timber for study purposes? And surely "recreation" could be arranged by other, more practicable means as well. In that sense, it would be nice to think of the "Man Trap" lab as a compact science-dedicated facility, and the seeming arboretum as a simulation that actually takes up very little room and can be stricken down so that the same room is available for other purposes at other times.
Remember those four mysterious glowing squares on the dorsal surface of the saucer rim? Or, even more interestingly, the three glowing squares, with one asymmetrically remaining dark? These could be stargazing rooms available for a variety of purposes (as suggested by the variety in the lighting status), and our heroes could have set up a park-lookalike in one for "season three" of their long and tedious mission...

Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
1. large recreation area
2. main food preparation area
3. ship's laundry
4. exotic entertainment center (presumed to be holodeck)
Original quote: "Although this recreation area has never been shown in any past episodes, this set has now been built and will be seen in the third season."
In Season Three we saw the Herbarium as part of the recreation area (soundstage 8) for the first time, so the promise was kept.
I assume that the "Life Sciences Botanical Section" from "The Man Trap", where Sulu is enjoying his meal, connects somehow to the Herbarium.
Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
"Herbarium" sounds like a funny name for some reason. :lol:
Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
Also, the herbarium set was a standing set and we no doubt would have seen more of it if had there been a fourth season. It was going to be featured in another third season episode as well -the title of which escapes me at the moment- but was cut from the final broadcast.
Here's an MJ sketch of the set (center column, second from the last image)...
And here's a sketch for another set (that was apparently never built) that adjoins it (bottom three images)... [COLOR=#800080]http://www.trekcore.com/specials/thumbnails.php?album=3&page=7[/COLOR]
That last table thingy was apparently built, as it (and another?) is apparently seen in ITITNB.
There is also a floor plan sketch in The Art of Star Trek that shows how these two sets were supposed to fit together –rather like FJ had his deck 18 rec facilities in his BOGP.
Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
The "Herbarium" does not simulate being outdoors in any way. This promise fell short. I will concede that when writing this, such a plan may have been in the works and was assumed to have been finished by the time book was published, and even perhaps that the Herbarium was a compromised, lesser version of what Gene wanted (and eventually got in TAS and TNG) but I do not accept that this was exactly what Steve and Gene were describing in the book.
But I do agree with you in the assumption that the Life Sciences Section and the Herbarium are adjacent to each other and connect.
Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
But despite all the budget restrictions they could have made more efforts to feature some exterior windows on the Enterprise. ;)
Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
The two quotes from the TMoST cited above are not mutually exclusive.
Of the four facilities listed, the first one; "large recreation area" -is the one referred to by this quote...
"Although this recreation area has never been shown in any past episodes, this set has now been built and will be seen in the third season."
This is the set we've been calling the herbarium, so it was built, and it was seen in the third season, so TMoST is correct.
The fourth one; "exotic entertainment center" -is the one referred to by this quote...
"Therefore we intend to build a simulated "outdoor" recreation area which gives a realistic feeling of sky, breezes, plants, fountains, and so fourth."
This set was obviously never built, and we therefore never saw it, but then the TMoST doesn't claim otherwise, only that they intend to build it, so again TMoST is correct.
As for whether the Herbarium was a standing set, I still say it was. I worked in the theater business building sets, so I'm very well aware of how sets are used and stored; and being an original TOS fan since the Sixties, I've certainly been around long enough to know how the Trek production handled their set requirements. So unless I see an original memo or an interview that says otherwise, I'll remain unconvinced that it was anything other than a permanent addition to the other standing sets, as was the case with the auxiliary control room and emergency manual monitor.
Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
Seems to me that the line "Gene describes it this way" indicates that the "set that has now been built and will be seen in the third season" is the outdoor simulation center, the same as the "rather exotic entertainment center," the forth area mentioned as a deck 8 facility.
But see for yourself. For those of you who do not own a copy of The Making of Star Trek, or, more likely, simply don't have it handy, I will, as a public service, reproduce a short segment of it here...
How can I argue with airtight logic like that?
I have on my computer three different versions of the plans of the studio which demonstrate that the stage was reset almost every episode. Something that wasn't needed wasn't staying up, as there was very limited real estate. If you want to conclude that an enormous set that was only seen in two scenes in the entire run of the series was taking up room throughout the entire third season... you're welcome to it. But that's clearly crap.
You guys have fun, I'm out.
PS, Before I leave, a case in point.
This may be helpful, a quote from Star Trek Sketchbook: The Original Series by Herbert F. Solow and Yvonne Fern Sollow. It's the lead-in text to introduce a whole series of pictures of the cardboard miniature sets MJ built and happened to still have laying around when they interviewed him for the book.
Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
Also, for those who love TMoST but like to poop on FJ, here's his take on Deck 8. Although he wasn't personally a Star Trek fan, he did work very closely with his daughter and her Trek fan club buddies while putting this stuff together. This drawing suggests that at least that particular group of fans in the early 70's didn't equate the herbarium set with the lines we are debating from TMoSt. (Though, to be fair, I don't believe there is any facility in the FJ blueprints which reflect the Herbarium set. This is probably one of those places he thought it'd make more sense to handle a different way. But all such decisions to change things were done with the blessing of his daughter and her fan group and were signed off on by Gene "The Man" Roddenberry himself.)
Re: TOS Botany Lab = "Outdoor" Recreation Area?
I too am familiar with those three stage plans you mentioned, plus a few others, and they don't really help resolve the matter. One thing to keep in mind is, we don't know when Jefferies made his mini set and if or when he may have modified it before the series folded, so it's hard to say what if any relevance it has regarding the status of the EMM and the ACR sets.
Granted, there's a little bit of a technical difference between "permanent set" and "standing set" which can lead to confusion, but as far as I've been able to determine, the ACR and the EMM were "permanent sets" even though sections may have been moved around or temporarily stowed out of the way -but no less so than sections of the bridge or any other "standing set", so we can't use the argument that wild sections and storability equal "temporary set".
Now, I'll concede that the Herbarium may have been a set that was completely "struck" when not in use, but I'm not convinced it was; so no hard feelings.
As far as a facility in FJ's plans that is comparable to the Herbarium set, as I mentioned above if we look at FJ's deck 18 plans, we will see his version of that set.

I've been unhappy with the quality of the premium sound in my Tesla S. I spoke with Rick Reus and feel comfortable they will satisfy my desires. He said they have upgraded about 20 S models so far and know the car well. They are putting a new design in my car. It will be a beta test for the original system the designed for the S. I'm antisipating sound quality equal to the rest of the car. There will be no visible changes so it will look normal and not aftermarket. For some the stock sound is fine and that's cool, I just want to hear a better quality. http://www.reusaudio.com/
What are they putting in and what is the estimated cost?
Hi Rodney,
Very glad to hear someone modifying S. I'm seriously thinking of purchasing one, but have two main issues, one - the test car I drove appeared to me to noisy over 60 mph compared to Lexus and Benz S cars I drove (complaint for which I was viciously attacked by some zealots) and the second one was sound system. I would appreciate if you can give me some details which amp or speakers you plan to use.
If I can resolve the noise issue, and find installer to change sound system, that would be a huge green light to happily own one.
Would appreciate your updates!
This is the amp I was considering to use in my next car:
Has anyone tried ButtKicker for your Model S?
It's designed for a couch at home to vibrate you up when it senses any low frequency from 5-200 Hz.
That way, you can feel the low bass and you don't have to compensate by cranking up the subwoofer volume.
It's used in theaters and theme parks and lasts for decades:
blubrd67 The Reus systems are designed and manufactured with their name. I'm sure they could be designed by a mainline manufacture to the Reus specs. The system is designed by Reus for the specific car model. As far as the noise problem you mentioned when driving over 60 MPH, I don't have that problem with my MS. I currently own a Mercedes and used to have a Lexus. Maybe the problem you had was specific to the car you were driving.
Tam: I'm familier with butt kickers but I was unhappy with the over-all sound of the system, not just the bottom. I want more clarity, crisp, higher db"s. I want to feel like I'm on the front row of the concert. I believe Reus will deliver this.
Hi Rodney,
After living with my standard sound system for awhile I was not satisfied so I too went to Reus. Rick is great to talk to and very passionate about quality. I have had their system for about 3 weeks now. The system they installed is fully integrated with all the MS functions, and from looking you cannot tell that there is anything but stock. However for me listening is a huge and noticeable improvement. Phenomenal bass response, crystal clear distinct sound stage, every note crisp and balanced. I listen to the music in the MS now and often get chills down my spine it is so good. I give friends/family rides and they spontaneously mention how fantastic the sound is. Driving the car has become truly a magic carpet experience.
The system is so good you will immediately notice when you input higher resolution music files. I use 96/24 FLAC(from HdTracks) or 44/16 FLAC (CD lossless rip), although Rick prefers WAV (also lossless but WAV does not include album art). Both FLAC and WAV play seamlessly in the MS. So I recommend, if you have not already done so, that you get a program like dBpoweramp or Exact Audio Copy and re-rip all of your CD's. Put the files on a USB stick in the MS and you will notice the difference. I have about 60 albums on a 64gb miniUSB stick and room for many more.
enjoy :)
I got in touch with la jolla audio in San Diego and they recommend an audison bitone and a jl 700 watt amp. they say I will immediately notice more clarity. This will run 3k. Changing rear door speakers to focal 6.5 inch will be 750 more.
Could someone list cost of the Reus upgrade and the time it took?
I will be driving through LA in the summer and could spend a day for an upgrade if it is as good as people say.
I am signed up to have the upgrade done by Reus this summer when they are in Ny for installs. Fantastic system and great folks.
I found a tube amp that could also double as the center screen, no XM support.
Notice the curb appeal.
Wow! Looks like it includes a stereo turntable, even. What will they think of next?
Wow, can it play 3D video?
Thanks Rodney! How long did you need to leave the car for sound system upgrade? Does Tesla play high resolution files natively, or they had to upgrade that too? And of course if you can comment on cost, that would be appreciated.
@blubrd67 - I'm not quite sure what you mean by high-resolution. Audio is encoded using a number of samples over time, and each sample has a number of bits, and lastly many formats discard both samples and bits to compress the sound and make the storage files smaller (i.e. MP3, ACC, etc.).
Tesla in the MS does support lossless WAV and FLAC formats from USB files. I've used FLAC encoded at 44.1 kbps, 16-bits per sample (same as CDs) and will deliver the best sound of the various formats supported. I wrote up this comparison which you may find helpful:
This only works if your original source is loss-less and/or a CD you rip. Converting a MP3 or other lossy formats to FLAC will not improve the sound.
FLAC can support higher bit-rates, but I don't know if the MS supports these - I suspect not. For very high-resolution, studio masters may record up to 196 Kbps at 24 bits per sample - of course this takes a huge amount of digital space. Even standard FLAC 44/16 are a bit large. A quick look shows some of my recordings songs taking around 20-40 MB per song.
Would one of yall please describe specifically what was replaced and done? Are there new drivers? Amps? Did they just use the digital feed from the Tesla with their own DACs? I have been very suspicious of the amps in the premium sound as the muddy painful effect is usually due to high amp distortion. I was considering replacing just the amp as from what I can see the drivers seem to be pretty good.
News flash: Google is going to offer music subscription to compete with iTunes, Spotify, etc.
$9.99/mo for full access. "PLAY" is the service name.
blubrd67; - I have played FLACs at both 96/24 and 192/24 in the MS. They both play OK but the 192/24 seemed to be a little thin which indicates to me that the algorithm in use in the MS may be downsampling in a way that loses some info, or somewhere in the translation process something is being lost. It may also be that the USB standard may not support 192/24 as many DACS I have looked at for my home computer limit the USB interface to 96/24 and want some type of higher bandwidth connection (firewire or optical output) to process 192/24. However the previous sentence is at (or slightly beyond) the limits of my technical knowledge, and I may have not done something with the system for the 192/24 that was needed to play it properly.
As a comparison I bought an HD 192/24 album from hdTracks and also ripped the same album from a CD at 44/16 and the 44/16 sounds much better in the MS (fuller more depth to the sound). I have a 96/24 album (Crosby, Stills, Nash) downloaded from hdTracks and it plays flawlessly and sounds great. I have also listened to both WAV and FLAC of the same albums ripped to the same bit-rate and I cannot tell the difference - but I am not a skilled audiophile - and I know there are passions on both sides of the WAV vs FLAC debate.
I have not tried either 176/24 or 88/24 (these rates are often seen on British titles such as the Rolling Stones HiDef).
So after that level of experimentation I use 44/16 FLAC ripped lossless from CD's as the standard in my MS USB drive and the music sounds superb. I currently have 68 albums ripped to 44/16 lossless FLAC taking up 23gb on a 64gb USB memory stick. So given that the MS has 2 USB inputs I could probably eventually put upwards of 700 albums just on memory sticks (2 - 128gb sticks).
six; - To my knowledge Reus is preparing a standardized "kit" type installation that they hope to be able to do in less than a day. My MS was the first MS they did without the factory Premium Sound package so they spent almost a week with the car as they measured, prodded, and tried various combinations to get a level of sound reproduction for a system they were happy with.
christurbeville; - I am not an audio or electronics guy, but my limited understanding is that there is some type of relatively standard interface in most cars between the receiver head end and the preamp/amp (initial digital feed??). Rues used this feed which means that all the automation works great and will continue to work seamlessly even with MS updates. They did put in their own amps and there is no distortion that I can hear at all. Everything is clear and balanced, even when the volume is turned up. I do not know about the DACS. I do not know what additional electronics were put in, but I believe that Reus does design some of their own electronics custom to each model of car. I can only suggest that you call Reus for more detailed info.
Here is my report
I wilI give the sustem Reus Systems installed a 5 Star rating. Upgraded the speakers, power and some more goodies. They made everything look totally stock. Now my car sounds HiFi. They clarity is at least twice as good. The top is much much more crisp. The bottom is shaking!. Clean, clean, clean... The additional sub with the power boost nob built in on the seat is the bomb! It is so clean and I'm able to be control the boost by reaching down next to the seat adjestment control with no effort.
I wil try upload sme pictures of the nob and sub that they installed in the bottom of the trunk. The sub took up about 30% of the lower trunk compartment. It is clean and I still have more storage in my MS then my Mercedes ML 350.
Can you do some power comparisons? I'm curious if the sound upgrades will have any noticeable effect on your range.
Vawlkus: I'm told there is no change in the power comsuption. They connected everything in the the same spots as the stock system with just much higher quality gear. The sound is comparable to watching standard-def tv and then gong to high-def
What was the bill?
If you have to ask ...
The reason I'm so curious what they do is I don't live in CA. Perhaps if this kit is produced it could be purchased and installed by local competent installers. But before I'd buy something like that I'd love a detailed description of what's involved.
I've seen some mention of a new sub in the foot well and this discussion of interface leads me to believe they take a digital output from the stock system and convert and amplify it. I suspect new cross-overs and some driver replacement from my judgment of the stock premium system's weaknesses. When I get closer to wanting to do this I'll contact Reus directly.
Why would they give you their trade secrets?
Not sure why Rodney won't reveal te cost....
Seems like a reasonable thing to ask
Maybe Rodney work for them? So what is the cost? Rodney the lead sales rep.
It may vary depending on how Full Monte you want to go.
@Brian H trade secrets would be the brands and models of the replacement bits. A basic description is what I'd think anyone would want before buying something. However the audiophile world never ceases to amaze me in the lengths it goes to mystify simple technology so yes perhaps I am asking them to reveal their magic.
Also what I wear or do not wear while driving is immaterial;)
"goes to to mystify" darnit

|Appointment system in primary care: opinion of consumers and providers.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23012154 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: The appointment system in primary care is widely used in developed countries, but there seems to be a problem with its use in Saudi Arabia.
OBJECTIVES: (1) To explore opinions and satisfaction of consumers and providers of care in Primary Health Care regarding walk-in and the introduction of the appointment system. (2) To examine factors which may affect commitment to an appointment system in PHC.
SUBJECT AND METHOD: Two hundred sixty (260) consumers above the age of 15 years as well as seventy (70) members of staff were randomly selected from 10 Primary Health Care Clinics in the National Guard Housing Area, Riyadh and asked to complete a structured questionnaire designed to meet the study's objectives.
RESULTS: The majority of consumers and providers of care were in favour of introducing appointments despite their satisfaction with the existing walk-in sysem. Respondents saw many advantages in the appointment system in PHC such as time saving, reduction of crowds in the clinics and guarantee of a time slot. The main perceived disadvantage was the limitation of accessibility to patients especially with acute conditions. The main organizational advantages and disadvantages perceived by providers were related to follow-ups of chronic patients, no shows and late arrivals. The majority of the patients preferred appointments in the afternoon and the possibility of obtaining an appointment over the telephone.
CONCLUSION: In this study, both consumers and providers supportted the idea of introducing the appointment mixed system in primary care, but further study is required.

VIN Checks
By using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), or chassis number as it is commonly called, My Car Check can help you to confirm if your potential dream car is stolen.
Remember, an innocent purchaser has no right to a stolen vehicle. When identified it will be returned to the legal owner.
While vehicle number plates can and do change legitimately (e.g. cherished transfers or private plates), a number plate change can be a sign of skulduggery, such as vehicle cloning.
Crosschecking the number plate (the vehicle registration mark or VRM) against the VIN is a therefore highly recommended.
The easiest VIN to find is usually the 'Visi-VIN', located on the passenger side of the windscreen at the bottom (underneath where the old tax disc would go). Other locations include the engine bay, either stamped into the metalwork or on a riveted plate.
By looking at the VIN you are checking the actual metal and not just plastic number plates, which car thieves can change in minutes to disguise a stolen vehicle.
Apart from very extreme examples, the VIN will never change on ANY vehicle. It is therefore wise to ensure that it matches the V5C Logbook offered with the vehicle.
Due to DVLA rules, My Car Check can't provide VINs to customers. However, if you call our UK-based contact centre on 0330 331 0030 we can confirm a VIN if it is read out to us over the phone. Alternatively, you can enter it online via the dedicated VIN Checker form on our website: http://www.mycarcheck.com/vin/
What is the VIN and why is it so important?
The VIN is a vehicle's TRUE identity. The standard adopted by most manufacturers is 17 digits long, a mix of letters and numbers (never I or i, O or o, Q or q, as these can be confused with 1s and 0s). To the trained eye, the VIN will reveal the make, model, production year and where the vehicle was built.
Stolen vehicles
Although UK stolen vehicle statistics have been falling recently (to less than 100,000 a year according to 2014 figures), theft of motor vehicles is still a lucrative trade. Many are 'stolen to order' and much of the activity is conducted by Organised Criminal Gangs (OCGs).
My Car Check works with UK police forces and IAATI Worldwide. We even had a representative at the Global Vehicle Crime conference at Interpol HQ in Lyon, France, to talk about the 7.2 million vehicles stolen worldwide.
If you have concerns over a VIN being legitimate, you believe you are being presented with a stolen vehicle, or you have any queries about our stolen car checks, please contact My Car Check on 0330 331 0030.
We can help you to avoid making an expensive mistake and if appropriate we will also liaise with the relevant police authorities.

Christina Aguilera Is 'Forever Indebted' to Gay Fans
Advocate.com caught up with The Voice mentor Christina Aguilera as she promotes her surprisingly enjoyable new album Lotus, and she once again had a shout-out for her loyal LGBT fans. In fact, the performer credits the gays not only for their hand in her success but also for her sanity and survival.
" I cannot be more thankful for the support over the years from the community," she says. "Even when I felt I couldn't stand, they held me up and supported me. I think we can each related to each other and I am forever indebted."
But when it comes to the subject of her lesbian friends, Miss Xtina's not about to bother with gossip blogs who blamed female friendships for her divorce. " I don't know what the blogs said, nor do I care," she says. "I have a close group of people I really trust who I have known forever — some are gay and some aren't. To me they are just close friends."

A Deputy Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah has described the Unemployed Graduates Association (UGA) as evil and tagged its members lazy people paid to destroy themselves. He said in abundance of job opportunities, the unemployed graduates loiter about and claim there are no jobs.
According to him, President Atta Mills under his "Better Ghana Agenda" has introduced the Local Enterprise and Skills Development (LESDEP) under the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development to provide opportunities for individuals to own their own businesses no matter the person's political and ethnic background.
The deputy minister made these observations during the graduation ceremony of beneficiaries of LESDEP in the Eastern region at Koforidua on Friday. He said there are opportunities in mobile phone assembly and repairs, fashion and designing, transport, agro-processing, construction, catering, hairdressing and beauty care, welding, photography and fish farming under the LESDEP programme and one has to go to the office of a metropolitan, municipal and district assembly to register.
"Today, across the world, owners of successful businesses are those who control everything in the economy. Their ideas help unleash the destinies of many employees, customers and even that of governments," he noted.
He therefore asked the youth, especially those in tertiary schools not to join such 'devilish' association and also disabuse their minds that there are jobs for them when they complete school.

Nicolette Brunklaus, Brunklaus Amsterdam - The Netherlands.
There will always be those who want to express their individuality and search for inimitable, unique products.
The designs of Nicolette Brunklaus provide a refreshing contradiction. Brunklaus creativity has juxtaposed old with new, solid with transparent, hard with soft throughout the collection, transforming materials as diverse as silk, velvet, and steel. The common thread?  Brunklaus recognition of a temporal, material world that can only survive through modern manipulation. The products serve a functional purpose: to provide contrast and add depth to their surrounding spaces. The world is a village. There is an obvious transition towards uniformity which influences the buying habits of the audience and the interiors worldwide. Therefore Brunklaus continuously keeps creating new, unique personal designs. She believes that consumers recognize the stories that exceptional design can tell.
Already in 1998, at the cradle of her company Brunklaus Interior Products, she was following this drive, creating under her own brand, Brunklaus Amsterdam. Since then, her business has evolved from a modest mail-order company to a hugely successful, well-respected wholesale corporation which distributes world-wide. Brunklaus herself has become a Dutch design icon.
Although producing a series of products, it is important that the design has its own, personal character:
Not only is the quality of the object vital, but I also want it to be a special design that enhances the surrounding space.

I feel like my running slump is over...I actually ran outside in the sun today! It was about 18F but since its been so cold here that it actually felt warm when the wind slowed down.
I also realized that next Saturday is March 1. (I should have known that March 1 was following Feb 28 but sometimes my brain doesn't work.) March 1 is the day of my first race of 2014-the Pulaski Day 10K.
My mileage has been down lately so I am not expecting anything other than a fun race. The high is 28F and there is going to be a pierogi wagon!
Awesome and congrats to you and best wishes for many more runs to come.
Rock on and keep on running.....
Any race with a pierogi wagon sounds good to me! Have a ball!
Sun with no wind is almost always a good thing. Enjoy the race.
+1 Apple Pie......Polish food! Good luck.
Run on everyone.....................Steve
Good luck on the weekend.
Mmm, pierogis.
Good luck with the race.
Good luck. Those pierogis will taste much better after a 10K
woah, march 1 is so much sooner than I thought!
good luck with your race!!!!
Better to see that now than on March 2. Then you'd have missed the Pulaski Day 10K.
Attitude is everything

Index Ventures, the London-based VC firm, has closed a €500 million growth fund, the company announced Wednesday.
The company expects it will invest about 2/3rds of the money in high-growth European companies, and the remaining 1/3rd in the U.S., according to Index co-founder Giuseppe Zocco.
Growth funds are designed to accelerate growth in already established companies. As such they are typically lower risk than early stage venture funds. "In early stage funds, we want to be first money in," he said. "With growth funds we want to be last."
There are plenty of start-ups that have worked out of the spare room in someone's house, or in the case of Google, famously out of a garage. But few actually own an entire house and garden. But Tallinn-based Erply does.
In a suburb of the city, not far from some of the brutal architectural reminders of Tallinn's more recent past, the small grey house hosts the engineering talent of this poster child for the Estonian start-up movement.
Erply make cloud-based low-cost electronic point of sales software for shops. Although they have mainly targeted smaller shops, maybe chains of 2-3 stores, according to CTO Alari Koppelmaa, they are working with a few large chains with over 100 stores or more.
Their story is a typical one. A group of friends get together for about 10 years to do a bit of coding, building some websites, and almost by accident they stumble across the solution that has taken them for a few guys working together into, well, it isn't really clear where they are heading.
I was due to meet Kris Hiiemaa, the CEO but he was on the U.S. West Coast, and Mr. Koppelmaa himself had just flown back from America. Although I pushed him several times, he wouldn't say very much, but I was certainly left with the impression that we can expect some kind of announcement quite soon (or perhaps that I am just reading too much into it).
Trying to quell the speculation, Mr. Koppelmaa says they are focusing on what they do, which is to make a complete package for shops with everything from credit card payments, through ordering, invoicing, the works. It can work with most barcode readers, credit card readers and the like.
A European start up that offers small shops cheap and easy to use retail software is extending its service by offering an NFC and magnetic credit card reader that integrates into its existing cloud-based suite.
Erply, based in London and Tallinn, specializes in point of sale and inventory management software for small shops. Its credit card reader, which officially launches today, costs $50 with a 1.9% transaction fee; less than fees charged by competing technologies offered by Square and Verifone.
The new credit card device connects to an iPad or iPhone and transmits a customer's encrypted credit card data to the Erply point-of sale software and inventory management software suite to process payments. This gives retailers the ability to view real-time data and inventory analytics through the Erply inventory management system.
Kris Hiiemaa, CEO claimed the service was completely secure.
Tech Europe covers Europe's technology leaders, their companies, and the people and industries that support them — and their ideas. The blog is edited by Ben Rooney, with contributions from The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires.

Luxury Thinkpad shots, details leaked
updated 10:35 am EDT, Tue May 29, 2007
ThinkPad Reserve Leak
The first tangible information about the ThinkPad Reserve Edition today surfaced on the web through a series of images and early detais. Confirming previous theories as well as allusions made through Lenovo's teaser images, the single completely new image (shown) points to a notebook with a leather-bound shell but the ThinkPad's signature black body underneath. Research also indicates that the notebook is similar (but not identical to) the company's 2006 "Yoga" concept through its hinge. Rather than rely on solid joints, the Reserve is likely to employ a flexible hinge that can bend the display completely behind the main case, turning the notebook into either a tablet or a portable desktop with a wireless keyboard.
Whether or not the new ThinkPAd will use the technology as demonstrated is uncertain, as are the final release date and its worldwide availability; launches in China and Europe are expected, but may includde North America as well. [via Notebook Italia]

It's official: my Winter break will be over on Monday with the start of the high school girls soccer season. Shhhhhh, don't tell my wife that I had a winter break. She doesn't think I ever take a break.
It is a very exciting time of the year - a new team, new goals, finding out who prepared, who didn't prepare. I really enjoy seeing the players' faces because soccer is not work, it is a game and we love to play.
Not only does the high school girls season start but the busy time for youth soccer begins as well. Teams will be formed by this weekend, schedules will start to get set, uniforms will be ordered and the ...

Water Remains Cold Even With Warm Temps
Posted By News On March 15, 2012 @ 6:21 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Even though temperatures are well above average across the state, lakes and rivers remain cold. Iowa DNR Conservation Officer Eric Hoffman tells KNIA/KRLS News that people should remember that local bodies of water will take awhile to warm up. He says if you do plan on going boating you should have a life jacket at minimum, or if kayaking, you should have a wet or dry suit.

|Induced hypothermia for infants with hypoxic- ischemic encephalopathy using a servo-controlled fan: an exploratory pilot study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19433516 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: Several trials suggest that hypothermia is beneficial in selected infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. However, the cooling methods used required repeated interventions and were either expensive or reported significant temperature variation. The objective of this pilot study was to describe the use, efficacy, and physiologic impact of an inexpensive servo-controlled cooling fan blowing room-temperature air. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A servo-controlled fan was manufactured and used to cool 10 infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy to a rectal temperature of 33 degrees C to 34 degrees C. The infants were sedated with phenobarbital, but clonidine was administered to some infants if shivering or discomfort occurred. A servo-controlled radiant warmer was used simultaneously with the fan to prevent overcooling. The settings used on the fan and radiant warmer differed slightly between some infants as the technique evolved. RESULTS: A rectal temperature of 34 degrees C was achieved in a median time of 58 minutes. Overcooling did not occur, and the mean temperature during cooling was 33.6 degrees C +/- 0.2 degrees C. Inspired oxygen requirements increased in 6 infants, and 5 infants required inotropic support during cooling, but this was progressively reduced after 1 to 2 days. Dehydration did not occur. Five infants shivered when faster fan speeds were used, but 4 of the 5 infants had hypomagnesemia. Shivering was controlled with clonidine in 4 infants, but 1 infant required morphine. CONCLUSIONS: Servo-controlled fan cooling with room-temperature air, combined with servo-controlled radiant warming, was an effective, simple, and safe method of inducing and maintaining rectal temperatures of 33 degrees C to 34 degrees C in sedated infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. After induction of hypothermia, a low fan speed facilitated accurate temperature control, and warmer-controlled rewarming at 0.2 degrees C increments every 30 minutes resulted in more appropriate rewarming than when 0.5 degrees C increments every hour were used.

Planting weather roller coaster screams on
The weather finally turned seasonably warm and sunny in much of the Midwest over the weekend, allowing some farmers to get into the field. But planting progress is way behind schedule, and there are still pockets where nary a wheel has turned. And Mother Nature's got more tricks up her sleeve.
"Warm spring temperatures are forecast across much of the Corn Belt today and tomorrow giving us an easy feeling. But then, a freaky weather pattern is forecast for the mid- to latter part of the week and this weekend, delivering a one-two punch," says Harvey Freese of Freese-Notis Weather, Inc., in Des Moines, Iowa. "First, a strong cold front will push much cooler weather into the Midwest the next few days. Second, an area of low pressure will develop in the upper atmosphere over the Midwest, capturing this pool of unusually cool air at the surface keeping temperatures chilly especially in the western Corn Belt states for much of the week."
With this shot of cool, wet weather ahead, some farmers are ready to start changing plans for this year's crop.
"This is the first morning I believe we now have a serious issue. If we receive forecast rains, we will be two weeks out, at least, here in east-central Illinois. I hate to break it to the guys in Chicago, but it's essentially May and no one has anything planted, and if they do, good luck getting it up," says Agriculture.com Marketing Talk veteran contributor Buckley_HF. "If I were a trader, I'd be eyeing the updated forecasts really close. Stress levels are rising across the Midwest as we speak."
Adds Marketing Talk frequent contributor Wrestler: "Usually planting delays are fool's gold, but this year feels different. Hard to believe that we went from a drought to this. Old-timers can tell you that we have been through this before. No way in hell that we put any seed in the ground with this forecast."
That was happening as the trading week started out Monday; early trading saw corn futures surge sharply. Though the weather market faded late last week, it is back with a vengeance on news of more likely planting delays.
"Planting and yield concerns, which waned at the end of last week, are now back in play as the corn bears get a little nervous," says Jeff Coleman, Trean Group analyst and floor trader.
Buckley_HF says the delays up to this point have him getting in touch with his seed dealer to find out about the availability of soybean seed, as he's looking to plant more beans in the place of corn whose yields will likely be trimmed by the rain delays to planting, much of which will probably happen outside the optimal time window. If you're weighing a similar change, make sure you're not acting too soon, though, experts say.
"Research in central Illinois finds that, all else equal, average corn yields are not found to be substantially different for planting dates ranging from early April to mid-May. Yields generally decline at an accelerating rate for planting dates after mid-May," says University of Illinois Extension ag economist Darrel Good. "However, since planting dates have generally become earlier over time, yield response to planting date is nonlinear, and planting occurs at different times in different regions, defining late planting over time for the U.S. is not straightforward."

The HTC-made Google Nexus One may not cost any more than an iPhone 3GS to make, iSuppli has revealed in a preliminary cost teardown. Based on the components either known or believed to be part of the design, the researchers estimate the phone's raw parts cost $174, or $5 less than the $179 16GB iPhone 3GS did when new. The lower cost comes despite a potentially faster processor, a larger and AMOLED-based touchscreen as well as more RAM.
iSuppli estimates the lower price partly due to included flash memory. Although most of the components are more advanced, the inclusion of just a 4GB removable microSDHC card contrasts sharply against the 16GB minimum built-in storage on the latest iPhone.
The bill of materials, which doesn't include assembly, marketing or sales, notably gives Google much of the same in terms of subsidies as Apple but distinctly better hardware. However, it may prove positive for Apple as the company could potentially build an iPhone as good or better than the Nexus One without facing excessive price increases; Apple normally charges a higher retail price and could also stand to wide then gap further.

Last year on November 14, more than 200 UNH students, faculty, and staff helped celebrate the University's first campus-wide celebration of philanthropy, "A Thousand Thanks," in the MUB Granite State Room. An event conceived to share with donors how much their support is valued by the University and to educate students about the importance of annual giving, the celebration brought together a broad cross-section of campus to write thank you notes and place thank you-phone calls to some of the University's most generous supporters. Participants provided some 978 handwritten notes, 1,824 phone calls, and 277 signatures to a thank you banner.
For some donors, the student- or staff-written note marked the first time they've received a personalized acknowledgement of their UNH gift. And for most of the student participants, it was the first time they saw the connection between the support provided by the University's alumni, parents, and friends, and their own college experience. "It's a real win-win," says UNH Fund director Katie Oslin. "Not only did we get the opportunity to thank our donors, but we also had the chance to engage our students in the process."
This year's celebration will again be held on November 14 in recognition of National Philanthropy Day, with activities running from 12:30 – 2:30 p.m. in the MUB Granite State Room. Organizers hope the event will bring together 500 attendees to help meet the goal of showing appreciation to 5,000 of the University's most loyal benefactors. In addition to a letter writing station, there will be stations set up around the room with games to teach students about The UNH Fund and The Wildcat Fund. The event will feature live music, free pizza, and a variety of giveaways. And for those who want a souvenir of their afternoon, there will be a "photo booth"—where attendees may don hats, oversized glasses, and UNH-blue wigs to have their photos taken with a life-sized cutout of Ben Thompson, the University's founding benefactor.

Red bags cover the posts after parking meters were removed at the Ridge Hill shopping center in Yonkers Jan. 14, 2014. The shopping center removed the meters after the city of Yonkers said that Ridge HIll never had the legal authority to enforce any of the more than 100 parking meters that lined the streets of the outdoor mall. (Seth Harrison / The Journal News )
- Filed Under
If you've ever fed the meter at Ridge Hill, you may have needlessly parted with your money.
Current and former City Council members say the northeast Yonkers shopping center had no legal authority to enforce any of the more than 100 parking meters it is now removing from its private streets.
But that didn't stop developer Forest City Ratner from cashing in on an untold amount of meter fees and possible payments of privately issued parking tickets, some for as much as $75, for more than a year - despite the council's request for it to stop. ...

COVENTRY тАФ It took three weeks, but the Coventry baseball team has figured out what is needed to win games at the Division I level.
The Oakers lost their first five Division I-South contests of the season, but they followed up an impressive victory over Portsmouth last Tuesday afternoon with an equally-impressive victory over visiting East Greenwich last Thursday.
Junior pitcher Max Marcotte allowed one earned run on seven hits in a complete-game effort, while senior shortstop Shaun Vigeant scored a pair of runs in a 5-3 victory over the Avengers.

Living With Rosacea
Resource Guide
Rosacea is a skin disorder that causes chronic redness of the face. It can cause swelling, tiny pimples, and the appearance of broken blood vessels. Rosacea usually affects the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose, but the ears, chest, and back may also be affected. More than half of people with rosacea also have mild eye symptoms, including redness, burning, and watering.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
In some people, especially men, a condition called rhinophyma develops. In this condition, the nose becomes enlarged, bulbous, and red.
The cause of rosacea is unknown. A combination of genetic and environmental factors may be related to its development. Some researchers believe that rosacea is primarily a disorder of the blood vessels, or vascular system, in which something causes blood vessels to swell, resulting in flushing and redness.
A tiny organism called
Demodex folliculorum
, a mite that lives in facial hair follicles, may possibly be involved. Some researchers believe that these mites clog the sweat gland openings, leading to inflammation. There may also be a link between rosacea and
Helicobacter pylori
, a bacterium that causes infection in the gastrointestinal system. The immune system may also play a role in the development of rosacea in some people.
Approximately 13 million people in the United States have rosacea. It usually occurs in adults between the ages of 30 and 60. While rosacea cannot be cured, it can be treated and controlled.

Another day, another windstorm in Western Washington
As a father of two young girls, I've seen what happens when one sibling thinks the other gets too much attention...usually it involves some sort of tantrum or other attention-getting event.
November is typically when windy weather has center stage, but admittedly, we've been shining a lot of focus on the potential for cooler air over the weekend.
Consider the wind noticed now.
For the second time in three days, strong winds are blowing through Western Washington, although the region appears to be weathering this storm much better than the 200,000+ power outages we saw on Monday. More on why in a moment.
Here are some of the peak gusts as of 11 a.m.
- Bellingham Bay: 65 mph
- Oak Harbor: 60 mph
- Pt. Wilson: 56 mph
- Anacortes: 54 mph
- Port Townsend: 52 mph
- Bellingham (Airport): 51 mph
- Friday Harbor: 47 mph
- Acme: 45 mph
- Alki Beach: 45 mph
- Gig Harbor: 43 mph
- Everett: 41 mph
- Olympia: 40 mph
- Hoquiam: 40 mph
- 520 Bridge: 37 mph
- Seattle: 36 mph
All wind watches and warnings were canceled at 1:20 p.m.
The winds will continue to die down later in the afternoon, but still remain gusty through the day.
Aside from the winds, the storm is bringing heavy rain and a whole lot of mountain snow. A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect for the Cascades through 10 a.m. Thursday. Snow levels were around 3,000-3,500 feet Wednesday morning but expected to rapidly drop to 2,000 feet by Wednesday evening. Snowfall totals are expected to reach 18-24" on Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier, about 8-14" on the higher mountain passes, and 5-8" along Snoqualmie Pass.
Rainfall totals have been pretty impressive in some places. Over in Montesano, a trained spotter reported 0.5" of rain in just 45 minutes. The DOT says problems arose on I-5 there due to large amounts of standing water on the freeway.
The rain will also taper off into the afternoon.
Why isn't this storm causing as much damage?
Glancing at some of those top wind speeds today might have you scratching your head as they are not too far off from Monday's storm gusts. With the first storm, over 200,000 people lost power. Wednesday? Power outages have been few and far between. In fact , Monday's storm wasn't all too much different than the wind event we had on May 2 which only knocked out power to 24,000.
Why? Because it was the first one of the season.
Ted Buehner with the National Weather Service gives these three reasons:
"1) Last winter's El Nino resulted in rather tranquil weather with no real wind storm event. 2) The wet spring resulted in a lot of tree growth this summer (yes, we did have summer!). 3) Sept was the 3rd wettest on record, Oct was 2 inches above normal, and Nov so far is about 2/3rds of an inch above average. So the soils are wetter than normal."
He says given the above with all the wet soils and extra tree material our season's first 'blow' would be nature's tree trimmer and that is what happened Monday evening.
"All the weak tree material came down - on power lines, and even a few weak trees came down pulling power lines and a few poles down," Buehner said.
Now that most of the weakest trees/branches have been thinned from the herd, the region is in much better shape to weather 40-50 mph winds, and we are seeing that proof on Wednesday.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-- Authorities were called to investigate potentially explosive material at a Northeast Topeka recycling facility Tuesday.
According to the Shawnee County Sheriff's Office some old blasting caps were found in a coffee can at Bailey's Recycling and Scrap Metal, located at 4120 NE Seward.
The caps and can were debris from a demolished house, according to officials.
A worker at the recycling facility called the Sheriff's Office to investigate after the items stuck to a magnet being used to separate metals.
Blasting caps are generally used to detonate larger explosive devices.
