SANTA FE — Gov. Bill Richardson and Lt. Gov. Diane Denish met Thursday to map out a transition of power in New Mexico as the governor prepares to assume new duties as commerce secretary in President-elect Barack Obama's Cabinet.
Richardson said he would remain as governor until the U.S. Senate confirmed his nomination and he speculated that would not occur until February. If that happens, it could mean Richardson continuing as governor through at least the first half of the Legislature's 60-day session.
The next few weeks are an important time in state government as the administration decides on policies and budget priorities to recommend to the Legislature, which convenes Jan. 20 — the day Obama will be inaugurated in Washington, D.C.
"I promise a smooth transition as does my cabinet," Richardson said. "The lieutenant governor is going to have full access to all our deliberations as we move forward. I believe she will be an outstanding governor. So the transition will not only be smooth, but it will be seamless."
Denish will become New Mexico's first female governor when Richardson resigns to join Obama's Cabinet.
She stressed that Richardson remained the state's chief executive — and the main decision-maker on upcoming budget matters — until he steps down.
"I think what's important to remember is that Gov. Richardson is the governor as we move into the legislative process. While we will be fully briefed and be looking at the budget, clearly he'll be the governor until he is confirmed and is ready to leave," said Denish.
Denish, a Democrat, will take over for the remainder of Richardson's term, which runs through 2010. She has served as acting governor when Richardson was out of state.
Richardson said he'll travel to Washington in the coming weeks for briefings in preparation for his Senate confirmation hearing, but "I'll be here most of the time."
He left Thursday to visit his mother in Mexico for several days.
Obama announced Richardson's appointment on Wednesday in Chicago.
Senate confirmation of Richardson can't happen until after Obama is inaugurated. However, it's possible that confirmation could happen sooner than the timetable outlined by Richardson. In 2001, seven of President George Bush's cabinet members were confirmed several hours after his inauguration. More were confirmed a few days later.
The Commerce Department is responsible for a wide range of business, economic and international trade matters. The agency's operations include the Census Bureau and the National Weather Service.
Richardson said it remained uncertain how many of his gubernatorial staff members will accompany him to Washington for jobs in the Commerce Department. He does intend to take his chief of staff, Brian Condit, who is spearheading the transition in New Mexico with Denish.
Denish gave no indication whether she would retain Richardson's Cabinet members and top agency administrators after she took over as governor, saying only that personnel decisions "will be done on an individual basis when the time comes."
Richardson said he would deliver his State of the State speech in Santa Fe on the opening day of the Legislature and that Obama agreed with that decision.
A critical issue in the session will be the state's $6 billion budget and how to cope with a revenue shortfall that could force spending cutbacks or a search for ways to raise more money.
Richardson said he doesn't expect layoffs of state workers and he plans to incorporate some of Denish's legislative priorities into his recommendations to the lawmakers.
"At this time, I am making decisions on the budget with the lieutenant governor, who is being briefed on the legislative priorities for the session," said Richardson.
"On some of the major budget items, obviously, I'll make the decisions but she's going to have a role in them," he said.
Denish said, "Certainly I am going to be talking with the governor about what I think the priorities are. What matters here is that we have a smooth transition — that people don't believe that we are disrupting the process. They know we have work to do, and we're doing to do that work and we're going to do it together."

Two Novi High seniors win Siemens Awards for AP
The Oakland County Board of Commissioners will honor Novi High School seniors Akhil Nistala and Krithika Swaminathan for winning the 2012-2013 Siemens Awards for Advanced Placement. These students were recognized as two of the nation's top achievers in Advanced Placement courses in sicence, technology, engineering and mathematics. The $2,000 scholarship award is given to one male and female student in each state.
Novi School Board President Dennis O' Connor and the students were on hand to receive the proclamations at the June 13 full commission meeting, and Oakland County Commissioner Kathy S. Crawford, Novi, presented the proclamations.
Twenty-Two High School Students from Oakland County, MI, Today Received Combined Total of $220,000
in Scholarship Money from Fox Run Retirement Community Residents' Fundraising
Fox Run awards $220,000 in scholarships
Twenty-two high school students from Oakland County have received scholarships from the Novi's Fox Run retirement community, where they have worked part-time. They received a combined total of $220,000 raised by Fox Run residents during the past two months to show their appreciation of the students' work and to help assist them financially in their post-secondary education.
These students work for at least two years during which time they are trained, mentored, and cared for by the 1,000 residents who become surrogate grandparents to them.
This year's scholarship recipients (with their respective high schools) are:
Kyle Balog-Walled Lake Western High School; Bridget Baxter-Southfield Christian; Edward Bledsoe-Southfield Christian School; Lauren Brown-Novi High School; Nicole Cervin-Walled Lake Central; Bridget Coleman-Walled Lake Central; Andrew Conner-Walled Lake Central; Leland Davenport-Walled Lake Western; Savera Duty-Walled Lake Western; Kaityln Dowen-Walled Lake Northern; Blake Isaacs-North Farmington High School; Christina Karagozian-Walled Lake Western; Danielle Kay-Walled Lake Western; Erica Kidwell-Novi High School; Julia Kosky-Walled Lake Central; Alana Lieberman-Walled Lake Central; Mackenzie Miron-Walled Lake Northern; Mackenzie Parsons-Walled Lake Western; Morgan Schilling-Walled Lake Central; Alexis Vercellino-Walled Lake Western; Jennifer Zavalnitskaya-Walled Lake Central and Shelby Lonnerstater-Walled Lake Western.
Not only do students receive scholarships at the end of their tenure at Fox Run, but residents build relationships with them, ask them about school, and encourage them to keep working hard. Residents are good role models for the young adults and serve as examples for what a good education can do for one's life.
More than $800,000 in scholarship monies since 2004 has been awarded to students who work part-time at Fox Run, which is managed and developed by Erickson Living.
WL students compete in Math Pentathalon
Students from six Walled Lake Elementary Schools recently participated in National Mathematics Pentathlon Tournaments in April and May.
In the Division I event, Danny Sheehan, Mary Helen Guest Elementary first grader, received a Hall of Fame award for winning all five games. Sheehan, Parker Stasak and Lucas Price, all MH Guest students, earned gold medals. Lucas Emeott, Regina Ortiz and Cedric Shouse, also MH Guest students, earned silver medals.
"For the first time, Mary Helen Guest organized a Math Pentathlon Club for students in grades K-5," said Michelle Fiebke-Lang, Mary Hele Guest Elementary principal. "They did an outstanding job this school year. We had over 29 students participate in the club and many who went to the tournament returning with medals and honorable mentions. We are so proud of our new Pentathletes and look forward to more students joining our math club next school year."
In the Division II event, Aditya Senthil, Hickory Woods Elementary second grader, won all five of his matches, earning him a gold medal.

Advice please? Buy train tickets now or when I arrive?
I will arrive Paris in a few weeks. I have yet to sort out all my train / transportation matters as I'm unsure whether to buy it now or till I arrive Paris and London. My concern is 'messing' up if I buy now as compared to speaking to someone at the counter. Should I purchase them when I arrive? Can I buy them at CDG train station or it's best at Gare du Nord? I've nearly sorted out my trip except for this :(.

Re Derek Nance's letter regarding the Boy Scouts anti-gay stance [RGJ, March 6]:
Why do people think they have the right to dictate what others do? I may not agree with the ideals of many organizations, but I don't have the right to demand they change their ideology to meet my needs. If you don't like what an organization stands for, don't join it.
As far as Mr. Nance is concerned, why does he think it is anybody's business what his sexual preference is? That is his business. He doesn't need to shout it to the world and then expect the world to change.
Rather than degrading the BSA, he should be starting an organization for gays who want to do what Boy Scouts do, not trying to change their 100-plus-year-old policies. Being a Boy Scout is not a necessity for anyone. I highly doubt being an Eagle Scout will ever get him anything but an attaboy when he completes the work ... that's all I got.

Completely agree with Jack Dorsey! I've been using Twitter to get information. It works! And, fyi it's better than google because you can refine your searches.
Maybe I am to old or cedgerish, but the whole idea of Twitter has no utility to it. It is like someone took the wall from face book and put it on my hand held. Both are a huge way to waste time.
What about search archives?: right now twitter searches exclude older posts. The ability for this user to search, extract and archive his own tweets would useful and re-instate twitter as a true micro-blogging device
Could it be more mainstream with all of the free advertising that it gets by major media-- with all of the little icons posted across the web and on many major tv commercials and promotions? I consider the success of Twitter mostly a product of mainstream subsidy rather than innovative merit.
Twitter: never have so many with so little to say said so much to so few.
I think there is especially fertile ground in evolving Twitter to be a global question and answer platform. In order to do this (and also to reinvigorate third-party developers), Twitter should have a less restrictive policy regarding bots. I wrote about this on my blog here: http://www.readwritehack.com/how-twitter-can-win-back-developers
exactly what @jack said. focus on the value twitter can bring not people just sending random thoughts to pollute the system. a place where you can type bullying, and quickly pull the most recent case. I see twitter adding a "social search" feature where one can pull more organized data related to the query.
He will have a tough time of it. Twitter has become an advertising arena. The last twenty "followers" I've had (presumably inviting reciprocal following) have been commercial enterprises: entities wanting to sell me something. Very little conversation going on. And very few of those with whom I try to "converse" return the @favor.
i love twitter! it would be easier to "mainstreamanize" if viewing/ uploading pics was easier.
@fjpoblam agreed! try and find a way to eliminate weird spammers and strange profiles who follow you. i block them
This is really why I primarily use Twitter and think it's better than Facebook. The Facebook minifeed is the most annoying feature ever created. Twitter seems to be smarter and sleeker than Facebook. Glad the creators are focused on more important issues.
If the goal is to make Twitter mainstream, the team should raise the character limit to 420 characters, matching Facebook's. Like Team Twitter, I am all for concise writing; however, the current limit is too restrictive. The limit forces users to waste time thinking about how to truncate their ideas and prose. Besides wasting time, the limit results in users having to drop meaningful thoughts and rely on artificially required shortenings for words and urls. Also, many status updates on Facebook would be appropriate Twitter posts, barring the differences in character limitations. Matching the character limit would allow easy reposting for the average Facebook user. Twitter should think of this move as being analogous to Apple giving users the option to run Windows on their Macs. Not every Mac owner uses this feature; however, the ability to run Windows if necessary is a critical feature for many Mac owners who would have otherwise bought PCs. It is the gateway drug to becoming a full-time Mac user.
Jack Dorsey himself has marveled at how the Japanese alphabet, with its ability to convey more per character, makes Twitter even more powerful in Japan. It's time to allow the rest of the world to convey more in each tweet. The 140 character limit is an artificial restriction left from a time that is now past. Text messages no longer have a 160 character limitation. At this point, keeping Twitter updates restricted to 140 characters is strictly artificial and, in fact, limits value. 420 characters is the key to the mainstream.
To make it more "mainstream" (at least to me) means to make it more approachable and more valuable to those that don't already use it.
To make it more approachable to the mainstream user, some organization needs to take place. Maybe sort sort of "channels" or something like that. Also, #hashtag could definitely use some improvement. Maybe take them out of the main tweet box altogether (which frees up space, and then gives the user a separate place to use hashtags, more like tags or keywords).
As someone that didn't necessarily jump on the Twitter bandwagon when it emerged, I can see why so many people find it challenging at first. In addition to that, yes - there are some additional issues posed with spammers and advertising. But this is part of the cons with any type of information service like this. Once you get past those few caveats and utilize it as both an information network and potential relationship builder - there is a great deal of value and it's made me wish I started tweeting much sooner.
It does take some getting used to and I believe that education about what it is and what it can offer the average person will be a big component for mainstream use. But let's get a big point across - people tend to group all of the players in "social media" together. They are definitely different and must be learned for the maximum value. My best suggestion is that people try it for a decent amount of time. Search for people you like or respect in business, sports, entertainment, politics, etc. It will never be 100% valuable ... or even in the 90% range. But, I do think many of the people that are committed to it find value.
FYI: there are many desktop and mobile applications out there that help with so many areas. I like the comment above from Drew about "channels." Check out the new UberSocial app from Bill Gross' UberMedia company. They have a channel concept like you're describing.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. My Twitter handle is: @IanGertler
They should buy Tweetdeck and use it to replace their own embarrassing UI (mobile AND web).
To Dan Kacher: use Tumblr. Get with the technology...
The problem is really that most people's lives aren't interesting enough to share ... most people have a hard time writing anything interesting on Facebook once a week.
Alas, his real problem is he has a solution (streaming information from anyone to anyone) without a problem (no one really wants to know what everyone else is doing or thinking).
The reason it's not more mainstream, is because there are only a select group of people who are interesting enough to follow in the first place!
A very simple suggestion; Install a search engine so that users can search for comments on a specific subject.
I'd like to see a built-in glossary of current Twitter slang.
I primarily use twitter to get information, esp news. I would love it if a "like" button was added, because I like giving feedback on the articles that are written. I would also like to be able to write to people who don't follow me.
There's not much to improve. it's a pretty dead simple service. improving the ability to find stuff you're searching for is pretty much a no-brainer. he should be able to do this in a few months, and then he can retire.
Twitter - aka narcissist.com.
Never used it and I probably never will. I just don't care what Madonna or Lindsay Lohan are doing on a daily basis. I also don't care what Lebron James or Howard Stern are doing on a daily basis.
Twitter original intent was an inter-office SMS update system. Expanding on that idea todays' Twitter was born...
The idea of "Twitter Channels" (Diet, Health, World Events, Finance, Celeb, Recipes, Religion,# Winning etc...) with a "Forum Search" feature seem to be the most interesting. Then join those "groups" from which you want to receive SMS from, if any. Remember, that was Twitter's initial intent. Twitter currently suggests you follow people with similar interests. Why don't we add Follow to topic channels. BTW, are you impressed with how many followers a person has or what they have to say. Let the content and channels rule, not the one with the most followers. i.e. "Twitters, tell me about what am I interested in right now?
What should Twitter do to improve? I use Twitter to get and pass on information and what I'd like is 1) be able to make more than 20 lists, 2) be able to have more than 500 tweeters in a list, 3) be able to tag tweets in a meta way, i.e. not with #hashtags, which take up part of the 140 characters and can only be assigned by the tweeter, 4) be able to publicly block tweeters and give a public reason why I'm blocking them (e.g. I block anyone who posts location info, which I do not care about and is spam to me).
@Dan Karcher: 140 characters is the limit for SMS text messages. 420 characters can't be texted in one mobile text message.
For me, Twitter will never be relevant. I don't need or want to know what any individual is doing "right now", all the time. I don't give a flying f--- what celebrities are doing and if I need to know what my partner or a friend or my Mom is doing, it's for a specific reason...like to figure out when to meet up. So that aspect of Twitter is irrelevant and I don't need Twitter to talk to my Mom! As for sharing information on Twitter, I don't want to broadcast what I'm doing "right now" because first, I'm not that bloody egotistical to think that others care about all that, and secondly, I don't have the time to send constant updates.
Twitter might be potentially useful if I were coordinating a project and needed to know how everything was coming together. But then some people would use Twitter to send updates, some wouldn't, others might not have access, and I would have to make sense of how all of this would be responded to and tracked. In other words, it's another potential source of noise...too much information. It's much easier to just converse or text the people I need to converse with.
I'm trying to work full-time and make the most of my free time to take care of personal business, keep up with current events, and learn more about programming. Twitter does nothing to help me do anything I need to do and is therefore only yet another distraction. I'm the mainstream and have no use for Twitter...but I will say that many of us are REALLY tired of hearing about it. So I don't think it becomes more mainstream because people are busy and have goals that Twitter does not help them accomplish, and it's a giant waste of time.
He could start by getting rid of support of consonants. Can anyone explain what they are used for on Twitter?
It is a complete mystery.
I wrote on this a few days ago, Twitter needs to shift it's approach and strategy: http://mikepatterson.posterous.com/twitter-is-not-a-social-network
Twitter simply needs to start o own the distribution channel, something it's moving into doing but needs to do more aggressively.
Integrating social media such as Twitter with digital signage such as Twisplays can add value to Twitter, the public and the businesses that move forward in that direction.
@nancy my thoughts exactly! especially the list feature.
give people a "blocked rating", like, "300 people have blocked @this_schmuck" or "@this_schmuck has been reported as spam 234 times, and gets a spamrating of D."
give people a "blocked rating", like, "300 people have blocked @this_schmuck" or "@this_schmuck has been reported as spam 234 times, and gets a spam rating of D."
One area that would be really useful is mass messaging to a select few; I understand why this might not have been implemented to date but an organisation that can target specific members, eg, new clients, students, family, would find that of value. It would need to be heavily monitored though to protect against spamming.
I think the Twitter business model does need to be defined a bit more to ensure it's long term viability but I do think it's a useful tool.
I'm integrating Twitter in my social networking site. I think it needs to be everywhere to be more mainstream.
Open up search beyond the immediate past, for starters
get idiots, auto tweeter, spammers and people who follow trending topics just cause they can banned
Though a sequel for "The Muppets" has been greenlit, one particular star who was integral to bringing the franchise in to the new millennium won't be a part of it, reports Collider.
Jason Segel told the site he won't be signing up for one more round with Kermit and Co. "It's true [that I will not be within the sequel]," stated Segel, "but it is completely amicable. My goal was to bring the Muppets back and I did that, leaving them in quite excellent hands." Segel said he desires "to pursue more human-related projects," adding, "All I wanted to do was to set the stage for them to complete whatever they wanted. I am confident I'll return in some capacity here and there, but that was half a decade of my life. Five years of tough work. I am ready for somewhat puppet break."

Wooden Side Gates
Each and every Side Gate we sell is lovingly manufactured by hand here in the UK using traditional, time served construction techniques such as mortise, tenon and dowel jointed frames. Attention to detail is crucial and every gate is finished with a rebated edge then planed down in stages to create a completely smooth finish. Of course, with so much care taken on the production of your new gate, we only use the finest, joinery graded (slow grown) Redwood Pine.
Your selected gate height is to the highest point of the gate
Our Side Gates are any width and height from between 4ft 6" to 7ft. If you require a smaller height than 4ft 6", please see Garden Gates.

What The Heck guys.... ACTIVISION NEEDS TO FIX THEIR ******* DLC......... XE
Re: map pack not workingSMWJuny Jul 17, 2014 11:47 AM (in response to iamonlychi)
Technically speaking, this has something to do with the PSN network recognizing your previously purchased DLCs. Since the transactions that you're making is through the PSN network, I would suggest that you try contacting them (which you already did, I guess) and verify the purchases that you made.
Re: map pack not workingShadowRonald Jul 18, 2014 1:01 PM (in response to xsh00tax)
If you already bought the DLC using your account, it will register to your PSN account. You can check the contents in the PSN Store site: https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/
Sign in the account that purchased the DLC. On the upper right of the screen, select your PSN ID and select the Download List in the drop down option. It will show the contents that you purchase using your account. Search for the DLC and add it to the download que. Once you restart your console, it will download the contents back to your console.

Here Are All The New Enemies You'll Face In The Next Borderlands 2 DLC
Gearbox, the creators of the Borderlands series, say the next campaign DLC—Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep—is the biggest piece of content for their sequel yet. More areas to wander, more guns to fire and, more importantly, more enemies to shred to pieces. »
Four Things To Know About That Borderlands 2 Tiny Tina Campaign DLC
It's ok if you've never played Dungeons and Dragons before. You can still appreciate Borderlands 2 shoved into a fantasy-trope skin. Why? Because the whole thing is narrated by Tiny Tina with a few eye-rolly comments from Lilith or an adorably clueless remark by Brick. »

What Is Tiny Tina Teasing For Borderlands 2?
Gearbox showed off a little trailer that looks like Tiny Tina is playing something of a Dungeons and Dragons-esque board game, but Brick, Mordecai and Lilith aren't quite understanding her rules. »

Data Loggers

Chart Recorders
Data Acquisition
White Papers
Read up on some of the more exclusive applications, data acquisition topics and other extensive material in deeper detail.
PID Control with ADwin
One of the most common automatic control methods is the Proportional-plus-Integral-and-Derivative (PID) controller. In this white paper CAS DataLoggers shows how the architecture of ADwin data acquisition and control systems makes them well-suited for PID applications.
Measuring Voltage and Current Using a Data Logger
A common data logging application is measuring voltage or current flowing into or out of a piece of equipment. These measurements can be broadly classified into two groups: AC and DC. At CAS DataLoggers we've put together this brief guide covering the basics of voltage and current measurement.
SDI-12: The Technology Behind Smart Sensors
SDI-12 has become the environmental standard of choice for environmental monitoring applications. At CAS DataLoggers weve put together this brief introduction to the SDI-12 standard highlighting the advantages your business or organization can realize from using SDI-12 data loggers and sensors.
The 6 Most Important Parts of a Temperature Monitoring System
You may know that you need a temperature monitoring system but arent sure how to purchase or use one. At CAS DataLoggers weve put together this basic tutorial covering the 6 parts to a typical Temperature Monitoring System so you can choose which is best for your application.
Comparison of Thermal Buffer Effectiveness
Abstract: Experimental data was collected to examine the behavior of RTD probes in various thermal buffers in refrigerator and freezer applications. From the warm-up time vs. temperature curves, a thermal time constant was determined by fitting an exponential line to the data. Also, the behavior of the buffers during typical operation as the refrigeration compressor cycled on and off was observed. Using this data, recommendations on buffers for refrigerators and freezers are made.
Basic Techniques for Accurate Resistance Measurement
At CAS DataLoggers we often receive calls from users working in resistance measurement applications, for example using string pots to measure movement, measuring thermistors/RTDs for temperature, measuring the resistance on test samples, and many more applications. In this white paper, well cover a few simple ways you can reduce error and improve accuracy at the low, mid- and high resistance ranges.
What is The Internet of Things?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a popular phrase for the increasing development and market saturation of Internet-capable physical objects such as appliances and control systems. CAS DataLoggers covers several industry opportunities presented by todays wireless dataloggers including models with new mobile apps which let users remotely monitor temperature and control processes from anywhere.
What is a Data Logger?
What is a datalogger? These products are widely-used measurement and data storage tools that monitor your product or process 24/7. Using a data logger you can keep an eye on temperature, humidity, current/voltage or just about any kind of data. In this article the Application Specialists at CAS DataLoggers walk you through the basics of data loggers and what they can do for your business or organization.
Self-Calibrate Your Thermistors for Higher Accuracy
Technicians and engineers often use thermistors to log temperature in applications which require increased accuracy for more demanding projects. To accomplish this, they use the SteinhartHart equation to get much more precise readings across the sensors temperature ranges. Users most commonly work with it in applications measuring water or machine temperatures. As part of our free tech support, we at CAS Data Loggers often provide help in this area for customers.
Identifying and Reducing Ground Loop Feedback
While grounding can prevent and resolve many power issues, it can also create serious issues of its own. One of the most common problems is known as ground loop feedback--often resulting when different electrical circuits are powering a system and its peripherals. This can also be a seasonal issue as hot dry temperatures can create signal noise for equipment end users, so the Application Specialists at CAS DataLoggers have put together this brief introduction to help reduce o...

This article will show you where crossing one's finger came from.
Have you wondered why people cross their finger for luck? Well there are many theories, but here is on. This article will show you everything.
This can be said as well as gestured. Crossing your fingers is a superstious way of receiving good luck, or nullifying a promise.
Back in the 16th century, supernatural creatures like witches and ghosts were generally accepted by many people to be real and sometimes the cause of bad luck or illnesses. Believing that the power of the cross would help protect them from evil, it was often used. The proper way of drawing a cross back then, and still used to this day, is to touch the forehead, heart, left shoulder, then right shoulder with you right hand.
There was not always time to do the proper drawing of it though. Say someone suddenly crossed paths with another who they thought were a witch, they would need protection immediately! So they used a shortcut: making a cross with both their index and second fingers. Doing this would protect them straight away from the evil that was before them, or so they thought.
Most of these beliefs have died out here in the modern day, but the gestures that were used continue on.

Used to be fairly reliable, now useless
I used to really like this app. Back when it was the original, it literally saved me hundreds of dollars. Then they stopped supporting the old app and forced the new app on everyone. It was a notable step backwards but at least gave some input on the item being scanned, if only from retail sites no one had ever heard of before.
However, since the beginning of August, a minimum of 3/4s of all the items scanned either only show the UPC number or "Product of Company X" (what ever company that might be, with no other information, no picture, no pricing, nothing.
So the app has gone from being the best thing since sliced bread to a VERY FRUSTRATING waste of space on my phone, which is worse that just being a waste of space because now it raises my blood pressure because I know it used to be awesome.
To the developer .. Fix your app!
USED to love it...
I had used this app for years and never had a problem. Recently it is worthless! It loads terribly slow and once it finally scans item it either says it can't find item or shows upc & company name but no further details... It rarely brings up lists anymore of competitors who have item and their prices but on rare occasion it actually pulls that information up it has not been the correct price! I'm so frustrated and this is just a waste of my time and battery life since it has been taking so long to work when I'm out shopping... I miss my old reliable app that just worked accurately and quickly! I really don't recommend anyone getting this app unless they decide 2figure out these major glitches and hopefully by that point they wouldn't have lost all of their old loyal patrons :(
Fair well dear friend . . .
This app is now as corrupt as the the evil-doers that have destroyed its perfection! BIG business has once again raised it's ugly fists & slammed those that had developed a way to help the individual comsumer lower their buying costs on not only everyday consumer items, but also the costly ones! 'REDLASER' was a reliable, honest & quick way of saving us $ when using cost comparisons. Prices were always happily met or lowered by all honest companies when they saw merchandise quotes on "Redlaser!" Now this reliable 'business friend' has been killed-off as so many other consumer helpers. It would appear that nothing good last for any reasonable length of time 4the middle class consumer!

In 1997 I wrote a New York Times bestseller called "Dogs Never Lie About Love." Yes, the title is a bit dorky, but it struck a nerve and sold over a million copies. Since then I have never stopped thinking about dogs and love. Some dogs just exude love the way teenagers exude defiance. Case in point is my dog, Benjy, the "hero" of my new book "The Dog Who Couldn't Stop Loving."
That's him all right. Colossal failure as a guide dog for the blind ("just doesn't want to work, but a real sweetheart"); and (just between you and me) not the brightest dog I have known. He couldn't figure out how to be a seizure alert dog in spite of a trainer who loved him to bits. He flunked the exam to be a therapy dog (visiting old people on a dementia unit), but the trainer took pity on him and let him pass.
But there is one trait in which Benjy excels: this dog knows nothing but loving. He can't help it. He loves other dogs, and every human he ever meets, and our pet rat, and all four of our cats, and birds he meets on the beach, and rabbits, and especially, most visibly and most emphatically, children. You can see that in the pictures. Dogs' faces are not as expressive as those of primates, including us. So sometimes he looks sad. But like all dogs, he has learned to express his pleasure in ways we cannot mistake. He rolls on the floor and lets his tongue hang out; he makes a great imitation of a human smile; his tail practically dents our floor; he gives mini howls of happiness. In short, he is: the dog who simply could not stop loving. That is why I felt impelled to write yet another book in praise of this dog, and of dogs in general, and to make yet one more attempt to get closer to the mystery of love, which seems to be embedded in the hearts of dogs.
Humans and dogs evolved together as two species who came to depend on one another. There is controversy about whether dogs have been with us for the past 120,000 years or just for 15,000 years. Whatever the number, dogs have lived with us far longer than any other domesticated animal or even domesticated plant. Small wonder that we have so much in common.
We thrive when we live with dogs. There is much research on the many ways dogs are good for our health; they keep our blood pressure down; they stop us being depressed far better than any drug; they understand our emotional needs better or as well as our life-partners. There is research to show that people live longer when they share their lives with a dog.
I used to say it facetiously, but it is true: if you want a good therapist, get a dog. They almost always are upbeat and positive, especially early in the morning when they greet us. Benjy is at his most joyous when he first wakes up and catches sight of one of us.
You may find it silly that people celebrate their dog's birthday when dogs don't know from birthdays. But hey, they are willing to celebrate ours, aren't they? Dogs will celebrate just about anything you ask them to celebrate. Can any animal look more forlorn than a dog who has lost his family? Dog people take fewer vacations, it is true, than non-dog people, but that is only because we don't like vacations without our family.
Children don't willingly live without dogs. The theme of so many movies is how badly a child wants and needs a dog to grow up with. Just why this should be is still a topic that deserves serious research. It seems most true when one or both parents are remote or unengaged; but even in happy households, adults often remember their dog with particular affection later in life.
Dogs can teach us what nobody else can: pure joie de vivre. It is also possible that dogs feel certain emotions more intensely than we do. We might even learn about emotions our species lacks and dogs have in spades. The pure joy of living in the moment, for example, might have attached to it a special emotion we have not yet identified, but one which rules the lives of dogs.
Dogs do not share some of the greatest biases of the human species. They are color blind, for example. They don't pay much attention to class either. Or income. Have you seen homeless people with their dogs living next to them in utter contentment? They may have taught us, or we might have taught them, to ignore the greatest prejudice of them all: species-ism, granting special privileges to one species over another. We often form deep and lasting attachments to many other animal species, and so do dogs.
We allow other domesticated species to live with or near us because we want: their flesh, their eggs, their young, their fur, their milk, or their work. With dogs, we just want their company. And that works both ways. They are the only other species that really wants to live with us (OK. Sometimes cats do too but only if we remember our place, since cats are class conscious and loathe uppityness).
This may not seem remarkable, but basically only one other animal sleeps with us, cats. Dogs, in choosing to sleep with us whenever we allow them to, keep our heart-rate down, our bodies warm, and our home and family safe from predators. They are also the only other animal who seems to love seeing our children, and showing us theirs. As I said, "family."
Dogs are willing to sacrifice their own happiness for our sake. Dogs for the blind, hearing dogs, smelling dogs, therapy dogs, seizure dogs, rescue dogs, police dogs, reading dogs (these are dogs to whom children with reading problems read – it really works!), are all jobs they are willing to take on, often with enthusiasm if they are rewarded with what it seems is the only thing they want from us, love.

West Rutland man accused of DUI 5November 13,2013West Rutland man
accused of DUI 5
BENNINGTON A West Rutland man, who told a judge he lives in his truck, is facing his fifth charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.
John F. Swan, 45, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court Tuesday to two felony counts related to driving under the influence of alcohol.
According to court records, Swan was previously convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol in May 1989, July 1991 and November 1994 in Vermont and in April 1987 in New York.
In an affidavit, Officer Robert Murawski, of the Bennington Police Department, said he was dispatched to a Route 7, near Exit 2, on Nov. 8 around 10:25 p.m., because of reports that someone was driving erratically. Police stopped Swan, who was driving a 1972 Chevrolet truck, on Route 7 after seeing him fail to stay in his lane of traffic, the affidavit said.
Swans blood-alcohol level was measured at 0.107 percent around 10:45 p.m., police said. The legal limit in Vermont is 0.08 percent.
Swan was released without bail but ordered not to drive unless he has a valid license.
Frederick Bragdon, who represented Swan, said he expected there was going to be some issue in the case whether it was Swan or Swans sister who was actually driving at the time.MORE IN This Just In

Carwin hasn't fought since losing to Dos Santos. Nogueira isn't an option with or without his upcoming fight with Congo.
I would like to see Cain face the Werdum/Russow winner. Then let the winner of that fight get the next title shot. Is it fair to let the champ sit without fighting that long? Maybe not if all goes according to plan, but this is mma. Injuries frequently screw up main events.
I don't know who Cormier is fighting next, but I would like to see him face Overeem if he wins his last Strikeforce bout. Overeem will be welcomed back with open arms after his suspension, but I think they ought to at least make him fight for a title shot. Cormier only has 10 fights, but has just logged two impressive victories in a row. If Cormier wins his next fight, I'm sure the UFC will want to make him fight for their banner at least once to hype a title shot.
Only problem with this is that it isn't fair to make a healthy champion sit on his ass for most of a year, waiting for the line to get more orderly. Especially not when he has viable fights waiting.
I reckon this time next year the HW picture will be getting pretty competitive, with Cormier and Overeem into the fold.

'Gossip Girl' preview: No sex, just coffee? Plus, Rachel Zoe gets messy
Can anyone be just friends on "Gossip Girl?" Hardly. Right now, Serena (Blake Lively) and Hot Business Professor Colin (Sam Page) are trying to keep things strictly academic, while Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) have decided to hold their fire.While we're sure everyone will make a valid effort at keeping things platonic, we know it won't last long. So who is going to break first? Will Blair and Chuck have the love-hate sex that fans have been waiting for all season? Will Serena get hot for teacher "Pretty Little Liars" style? In next week's Nov. 1 episode, "War at the Roses," things will definitely reach a boiling point. Blair is off-the-charts antagonistic as she plans for her birthday party, which will be attended by special guest Robyn as Zap2it was the first to report. Also on the guest list? Celeb stylist Rachel Zoe (bananas!) and Elle creative director Joe Zee, formerly of "The City" (moment of silence, please). At the party, Serena and Nate (Chace Crawford) stage a Blair/Chuck intervention - highly necessary, if the preview clips below are anything to go by. As always, shenanigans ensue... which doesn't end pretty for Zoe, judging by the photo.We die.Follow Zap2it and @cadlymack on Twitter and Zap2it on Facebook for the latest TV, movie and celebrity news.Photo: CW

Given that they are a) glass, and b) lithographic (per the developer recommendation) they were probably used for something where dimensional stability was paramount, possibly cartography, the making of masters for photomask reduction, or large-scale reticles. Why they would be ortho rather than blue-sensitive is a bit puzzling.
Very interesting---I hope someone can come up with an authoritative answer.

Aggiebones is drunk and pleased.
Now trade up in rd2 a.d get NT.
Trade up and get Glenn in Round 2 and our OL is fixed for years to come.
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
Like Ruthless, DeCastro was the prize of this draft for me. There was only 2 OL that were can't misses in this draft in Kalil & Decastro. There was only one guy I would trade up for and it was him. I didn't even think a 2nd like Ruthless suggested in his mock would land him because on a talent level...He looked to be a Top 10 guy. I am totally shocked this happened. I can not believe the turn of events. I didn't like this draft at the top and really was soured by the fact that we might end up taking a 2nd round talent guy at #24 because there were about 20-22 1st round grades at most. Colbert can thank the football GODS for the way this fell. Think of the good fortune for the Steelers not having to give up another pick to go get him. The 1st round pick was actually the only pick I was worried about this year. This draft is talented from here on out. To get Decastro at #24 in this draft is a pure blessing. Honestly, if everyone is "who" they thought they are on the roster & good fortune without injuries...The Steelers could be one more OL pick away from not having to worry about the OL for several years. Think of the run the Steelers could put together for the back half of Roethlisgerger's career. I would not hesitate to pull the trigger again in round 2 if a talent on the OL falls...They Steelers are on the brink of possible OL Dominance if they decide to go that route. I'm behind Colbert & Tomlin if that is what they choose!!!
I honestly saw this coming...
I had faith in the rest of the NFL to fully commit to the necessary desperation and overdrafts required to push a blue-chipper like DeCastro right into the waiting hands of the Steelers...
It really has nothing to do with the football gods...it is due to the all too mortal misfirings of NFL front offices sprinkled from #1 to #23...
This is why the Steelers always try to be able to field a full team prior to the draft...if you don't have any "holes" (and really, the Steelers didn't...they made it to the playoffs with Legursky and Foster starting at OG and with Foote seeing extensive playing time at the Buck LB) you can just see what good football players drop to you and upgrade wherever you can...
This was the greatest value 1st round pick that I can remember of any team since the Packers drafted Rodgers...
chirp chirp chirp....where is everyone?
we opened a round 2 and 3 thread and stickied it....
ours is not to wonder why just invert and multiply...
No surprise for the Ravens with Upshaw
Here We Go Steelers!

« Home » What is HVAC? Answers to all your questions about HVAC design
To properly design a complete HVAC system, there are three fundamental procedures that should always be followed:
*(ACCA) Air Conditioning Contractors of America
ACCA's Manual J is the first step in the design process of a new heating and air conditioning system. By following the Manual J methodology, HVAC designers are able to accurately determine the total amount of heat that is lost through the exterior of a home during the cooler months, and the total amount of heat that is gained through the exterior of a home during the warmer months. Through a complex series of calculations and inputs, the HVAC designer is able to analyze all aspects of the thermal characteristics of every wall, floor, ceiling, door and window. In addition, an HVAC load calculation also takes into consideration other factors such as the home's geographic location, orientation to the sun, envelope tightness, duct leakage, lights and appliances. ACCA's Manual J even calculates the amount of heat and humidity that each occupant of the house will add to the interior of the home.
There are two types of Manual J load calculations:
*According to the International Code Council (ICC), "Heating and cooling equipment shall be sized based on building loads calculated in accordance with ACCA Manual J".
Once a Manual J load calculation has been completed, the HVAC designer will have the information required to accurately select the proper HVAC equipment. The equipment selection is based on performance criteria such as the equipment's total capacity to remove heat and moisture from the air as well as how much total air, and at what pressure, the system can produce. This is important to note because one manufacturer's 3 ton HVAC system can perform significantly different than another manufacturer's 3 ton system. In addition, a 3 ton system that is installed in Maryland is going to perform differently than the identical 3 ton system would perform if it was installed in Houston.
Manual D is the ACCA method used to determine the overall duct lay-out including the individual duct sizes. To design a duct system, the HVAC system designer must have completed a Room-by-Room Manual J load calculation as well as a Manual S equipment selection. All to often, duct systems are created using rule-of-thumb methods in lieu of using Manual J, Manual S and Manual D. This practice is the predominant reason for complaints of temperature differentials throughout a home as well as complaints of excessive noise caused by air velocity that exceeds the maximum allowed by Manual D.
Energy Sheets (REScheck & EnergyGauge Energy Code Compliance Reports)
Most states require that energy code compliance of a residential construction project must be reported in order to qualify for the appropriate construction permits. In addition, most state energy codes require that an ACCA Manual J heat load calculation be performed on the construction project, and that the heating and cooling equipment must be sized per ACCA Manual S.
While energy codes vary from state to state, in general there are 2 different paths that can be followed to determine if a construction project meets your state's energy codes.
ConsultAir can provide you with the energy code compliance certificates and reports, also known as energy sheets, that may be required to qualify for your next building permit.
Gas Piping Design & Schematics
A properly designed gas piping system will insure that the system will provide sufficient gas to meet the maximum demand of the gas equipment and that it will supply enough fuel for all appliances to operate at the same time.
When designing a gas piping system, one must consider:
Gas piping systems are designed based on the gas pressure at the point of delivery (gas meter).
The three most common pressures that are used in residential gas piping systems are:
Propane (LP Gas) is also used in residential gas piping systems. Propane is typically supplied to residential buildings at 11–13 inches of water column. For 2 PSI propane elevated pressure piping systems, use a line gas pressure regulator that is set for 11 inches water column outlet pressure.
1/4 PSI = 7" w.c. = 4 oz.
1/2 PSI = 14" w.c. = 8 oz.
1 PSI = 28" w.c. = 16 oz.
2 PSI = 56" w.c. = 32 oz.
Hybrid Gas Piping Systems
Flexible gas pipe and rigid black pipe (galvanized pipe if near the coast) combinations.
It is often advantageous to use both corrugated stainless steel tubing (flexible gas pipe) and rigid pipe in the same system when elevated gas pressure is available. Using this type of system can often give you a distinct advantage over your competition. For more information, contact ConsultAir.
The information provided above is not related to any specific gas appliance. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions when installing gas piping and or gas appliances.
"The services of ConsultAir helps keep my business ahead of the competition. Load calculations, design, Energy Star, consulting… Regardless of your need ConsultAir is always ahead of the curve with their knowledge of the HVAC industry in both the Residential and commercial markets. If you are looking to take your business to the next level, ConsultAir can get you there."

Krekhiv St. Nicolas Monastery
After you have explored Zhovkva, you might consider visiting the St. Nicolas Monastery nearby. this serene and extremely quite place, located just 12 km from Zhovkv, can be a great ending for this one-day trip.
Krekhiv Monastery is believed to be found by two monks, Ioil and Silvester, who settled in the cave not far from the current monastery. the current monastery complex, which consist of St. Nicolas church, the belfry, cells and defense walls and towers have been built, dates to 18 century. the monastery has been built as a fortress to protect people during Turks and Tatars raids.
the place is in a great condition, restored and well-taken care of. besides the monastery, you can take a hiking trip to see the cave in the woods, around 3 km off the monastery; follow the sign - Pechery - that points out uphill; the other sign leads to the miracle spring)
the place has been also known as a place for religious pilgrimage. It can be very crowded during St. Nicolas celebrations, May 20-22.

Lviv - main town of Western Ukraine
Lviv city is quite old one, more than 750 years old. It was founded as a city of Galicia principality, by king Daniel. As his son was Lev, he named the city after him. For a long time (from 14th to almost end of 18th century) city belonged to Poland - Lithuania Commonwealth, later - to Austria till 1918. Later it was a part of Poland again, Soviet Union and finally Ukraine, from 1991. So it is possible to see how much changes city got, no wonder it looks like Central Europe city as Krakow, Vienna, or Prague.
Lviv is about 30 kilometers from Zhovkva.

In the last few years, I had the pleasure of spending many summer weekends at a friend's family cottage in the beautiful Georgian Bay. Like many retired Canadians, my friend's parents spend virtually every weekend at their cottage, which they built with their own hands decades ago, and plan almost every holiday and major family event there. As a result, this cottage has significant emotional value to the family and will likely require special consideration and discussion in their estate-planning scheme.
Cottage and vacation home succession is a conflict-ridden area of estate planning as family members may have different personal goals and levels of emotional attachment to the property. The parents may want the cottage to be kept in the family for generations while the children may balk at the high maintenance costs and long drives to the property and would rather sell the property when the parents pass away. Consequently, planning for the family cottage should always start with a family conference with your children and discuss how they may wish to deal with the property in the future.

Keeping your baby safe
Your baby's abilities are constantly changing. That will make your job all the more challenging. Here are the key safety points to keep in mind.
Your baby's abilities are constantly changing. That will make your job all the more challenging. Here are the key safety points to keep in mind.
Those intriguing magnetic ball desk toys for adults can be dangerous for kids. What should you do if you've seen your child swallow a magnet or notice some are missing?
An object -- like a button, penny or piece of food -- can block the flow of air from mouth to lungs. If your baby is choking, knowing what to do may allow you to save your child's life.
